Everyone stuffed their mouths with the delicious monsters until the very last corpse, and as they were preparing to get going, Chaos looked at his new Skills and began to practice them…
However!
FLASH!
Chaos felt a sudden shiver through his spine!
Something he… had never felt before.Not even when he fought against the Dragons in the Boundless Abyss Dungeon did, he felt this shiver…
He looked at the source of this power he had just felt. Several kilometers away, several colorful divine presences slowly approached!
In fact, they suddenly began to move at an incredible speed, and would arrive in seconds!
The power of these entities was incredibly abyssal, he could barely believe they had just come out of nowhere! Why didn't he realized it first? It was as if they had masked their power or lowered it.
His entire body was suddenly shrouded with sweat, as his eyes looked deeply into these entities from afar. Abyssal Vision locked his vision into them!
They were five. Five beings above… way above his own Realm!
They were, in fact… two realms above him, Demigods!After Pseudo Demi Deity, one becomes a Living Deity, and after another 9 Ranks, you become Demigod.
How will Chaos jump to such a level of power?! Even with all he had… even with everything… even if he did all he could…
His hands began to tremble.
Was his destiny to end now?
A few seconds were left before they arrived.
Chaos desperately looked at his companions, if they were to fight against them in their current level of power, they would all surely die… they would be ripped to shreds!
Every single one of them… without exception.
Chaos hindsight had no mistakes, his assumptions were completely correct too. They would all die, including him.
"Everyone, come!"
He suddenly expanded his aura into pure shadows all around himself, as the people around looked at him confused.
"Do it!" he roared, as everyone nodded and quickly jumped inside of his shadows. He had used the Dark Attribute Magic Spell named Shadow Expansion, Shadow Domain, and Shadow Storage!
His Dark Magic was already at Level 7, so this level of expertise over this element wasn't something hard to pull out.
When everyone got inside, Chaos stored his allies inside his shadows and quickly began to expand his flesh, generating five clones carrying a lot of mana and power, and even holding fragments of his vast soul.
"Go distract them!"
The clones nodded, as they flew directly to confront the Demigods, while Chaos quickly expanded his senses, almost desperately, and detected the presence of the fragment of the Forbidden One several meters away from him, right below!
"So it was underground…"
He shapeshifted into a worm and began to move through the sands, reaching its deeper areas in an instant, and rushing through everything at an even faster speed!
FLAAAAASSSHH!
He gritted his spiraling teeth, as Abyss and everyone else asked him what was going on.
"What's happening, Chaos?" asked Abyss.
"Papa?" asked Erebus fearfully.
"My lord!" said Belphegor.
"What I feared is happening, just now I sensed five Demigod-Level beings. They were all heading our way. This cannot be a mere coincidence; they had come to kill me. I accurately calculated that it was not enough to defeat them, all of my strength was not enough… I will pick the Fragment of the Forbidden One while I can, while I left five of my clones to fight against them."
"What…! But my lord, we can also fight!" said Abyss.
"Let us go as well, we can buy you some time." Said Erebus.
"We are ready to give our lives for you if that means we can buy you more time, my lord!" said Belphegor.
Chaos clicked his tongue, as he angrily shouted at his allies.
"You idiots! What nonsense are you talking about?!" he roared.
"Eh?"
"My lord?"
"But…!"
"Do you truly believe that after everything, I am willing to throw you into the trash bin?! I won't let you sacrifice yourselves for me…" he said.
His words, although covered in anger, were also tender. He had grown too attached to them, losing them in battle was something he was not willing to go through.
Chaos was obstinate and certainly incredibly insane, his insanity was stuck into the desire of not letting his subordinates die, something so strong it made them reconsider their words.
"You're all my family… Don't you know how painful it would be to lose you? I will rather escape!" said Chaos.
"But then they will follow us… we cannot possibly bring them back to our Kingdom…" said Abyss.
"Papa… Where will we go if they'll follow us everywhere?" wondered Erebus.
"Everywhere else then! We'll travel all around the continent and go on circles, until we can slowly figure out a way… If possible, even luring them… I do have a plan. But this plan is filled with risks. But is the only plan I have now." Said Chaos.
"A plan…?"
"We'll do the impossible and survive." Said Chaos, his eyes flashing with crimson-red light. He welcomed this challenge even with the fear he felt for his life. He was going to use every tool he could to beat these entities and bring forth the victory he seeks.
He was going to do everything he could… everything!
And the plan had already begun as he dug deep into the sand, and suddenly came in front of a gigantic underground temple while breaking apart the ceiling.
CLASH!
A flood of sand began to slowly fill the temple where he arrived, as he released several flames around to illuminate the place.
"The temple of an ancient civilization… this is where the Fragment is- Huh?"
BOOM!
CLANK! CLANK! CLANK!
Without even waiting for him to get closer, a massive black scorpion with several crimson-red eyes rushed towards Chaos, surging from the temple's depths!
"Gahahaha! Food! Finally! More food!" it laughed, its pincers clapping eerily!
Chaos readied for battle as his allies came out once more to assist him…
Meanwhile, within the surface, Chaos Clones dug into the sand and shapeshifted into different appearances, with only one remaining resembling him…
