Abyss had been dragged away from Chaos when he finally arrived to help because of the many circumstances.
She wanted to stay at the side of Chaos and help him… but it wasn't possible. She was too weak, and Chaos wanted to buy time for them to escape and regroup while healing all their wounds.
Most of his allies were almost mortally wounded, and required help asap, therefore, he couldn't let them fight anymore, and had to quickly send them off.
Chaos fought the best when he had nobody to protect at his side, someone that exceeded in flashy attacks that exploded all around the most…
She was dragged by Belphegor and the rest into a safe place, after traveling for hundreds of kilometers, they arrived at the other side of the planet, the south pole.This was the only area of the planet with a cold temperature, and it was pretty clear in how cold things suddenly got, there was a large Antarctica-like continent made entirely out of ice, the water was still and there was unique fauna to this world in there, amphibians couldn't thrive naturally in ice, but some eventually evolved, generating coatings of foam around their bodies.
These creatures looked like fluffy, white-colored frogs, which made large groups and divided into countless subspecies, often called Foamy Frogs by Erebus. They looked as if they were covered in snow, although they were still frogs that didn't leaped but walked in four.
There were no apparent Saphibians in here, although they had yet to explore most of the area and they had stopped in the shores.
There were also several Salamanders covered in spikes of ice around their bodies, which hunted the Foamy Frogs, and also penguin-like pseudo aquatic land fishes that walked on the shores unmolested by predators most of the time.
Bugs were very rare, but there were some giant hairy beetles that seemed to gather warmth through their black hair covering their bodies, and barely moved as well, to keep themselves warm.
This just showed that even in the coldest and harshest of environments, life could thrive and survive beautifully. However, Abyss and the rest didn't had much time to admire the beauty of the place, as they were all currently inside of Erebus Divine Dungeon Interior, a special pocket dimension of its own.
In there, Abyss was resting over a bed, after having been healed by Chaos, most of her wounds were gone and she was recovering at a fast pace, but even then, she needed to rest, and her mental exhaustion was big…She had gone through quite a lot.
From having her new friend, Nesephise, kidnaped and forced to go against them, to being trapped in two different spatial cubes and sliced in half… it was all quite intense.
She had gone through a lot of pain.
Abyss could still remember these powerful Gods, and how wrong she was for thinking she could fight against them and even stand a chance.
Their strength was simply… otherworldly, this was because these Gods were nearing the peak and had also lived for many years, having accumulated a lot of experience, power, magic, and techniques… they were truly powerful and admirably experienced foes.
Against them, Abyss, and the rest… did quite pathetically.
And Abyss, as she slept, Abyss couldn't help but have nightmares of what had happened.
After all, things were even more impactful to her because just before all hell broke loose, things seemed to be finally going well.
They had found the frog, and they had made it puke as well…
So the things that she expected to happen next was a happy ending where with Chaos help, they would be able to defeat the enemies left and retake the planet for Nesephise's race.
But… reality is often disappointing.
Abyss got hit hard with such a reality, and realized that in such a wild universe, anything could happen.
The moment you're happy and fulfilled, right after that, things could go completely wrong…
She was hit hard with such a reality, as Abyss realized how horrible things truly were…
As long as someone could have the power to do so, they would trample over all of them, take away anything they wanted, and kill them.
That simple.
A world like this…
A universe as wild as this…
Was it worth to even live?
She had been spoiled… perhaps because Chaos was born strong, she never faced many hardships, even against the Demigods before in their original planet.
It was intense, the battles had some sort of hardships to them, but she had never gone through such incredible struggle where they had to put their lives on the line so much as of now.
In such nightmares, she was having experiencing the same things she had experienced before, but everything was even worse, things were turning into darkness, and it seemed that nothing would ever go her way, there was suffering everywhere she looked, and only the void was there to accompany her.
In such a nightmare, she found herself crying desperately, as she was confined in an invisible cage, she tried to escape, to move away, but the dark figures of her foes looked down at her from above.
Their overwhelming power had left a large scar in her mental health…
A banshee girl smiled back at her, as her crimson-red eyes shone brightly, looking down at Abyss as if she were just trash.
"Pathetic… You're so weak… What can you even do? You can't even help your friends… You couldn't even do anything…" she said.
Abyss was hit hard, as she recalled how Silver ended forcing Nesephise to his side by holding hostage many innocent people, and even slaughtering two of them in front of her.
"No…! I… I… Chaos… Chaos will…" she cried.
"Chaos? Is that the only thing you think about? So without Chaos you're all pathetic vermin, I see!" laughed the Banshee girl, as Abyss realized how powerless she truly was without her lover.
And everybody else… what were they without him?
