After the sparring session between him and his newly evolved summons, Chaos quickly decided to heal them all before they were to weaken too much, their wounds in their bodies were easier to heal than the tiredness of their souls, but that was something that could recover over time naturally.
"You all did well. I can tell you've grown very strong, and you'll be more useful in battle than ever before. You need new equipment though, at least you, Cthully. Now that you've gained a humanoid body, clothes and a staff could be good for you, something that channels psionic powers and magic would do you good." Said Chaos.
"I-I see! Thank you for the recommendations, my lord." said Cthully.
"I will make some preparations so everyone can get new equipment and weapons though, but I will relegate the work to somebody else within the Kingdom." Said Chaos.
Chaos had a moving Kingdom inside of his Divine Realm, which was like their country he carried everywhere, it was the place where many people gathered, many of such people could bring some help and changes, and a few of them were already achieving divinity, so they were slowly advancing through the ranks at a moderately fast speed.Amongst them, there were various talented blacksmiths, crafters, and alchemists that Chaos wanted to ask for help in the creation of new equipment, although he was more than capable of making several things, he still felt like some help from them would be necessary, as he wanted to concentrate in other things than mass producing items, for example, making a new spear for Abyss.
"For now how about you wear these clothes, Cthully? Or everyone will freak out when they see you nude now." Said Abyss.
"Huh? But why? I was nude before, and nobody said anything." Said Cthully.
"But that's different now that you got a humanoid body as a Scylla! You have to be moderate with yourself now, the people have embarrassment and see it as embarrassing to be nude, so wear clothes!" said Abyss.
She gave a large maid dress to Cthully, and she ended wearing it, at the end she looked surprisingly good with it. Way more than Abyss and Chaos expected, perhaps Cthully could become another maid in the party.
"S-So these are maid clothes? I guess they do have some sort of aesthetic to them… This is my first time ever wearing clothes…" said Cthully.
Tristan and Lancelot looked at Cthully now while wearing clothes and suddenly found her better looking, the two even thought she looked sexy, the first ever thoughts they had ever had since they were born as summons… and they were the first lewd ones as well."Incredible, you really look interesting to the eyes in a maid dress, it really does change perspective." Said Tristan.
"Yes… Leader, you look very good." Said Lancelot.
Cthully felt a bit overwhelmed by their intense and quite overwhelming stares, and she even blushed a bit, something she had never done before.
"For now, let's go back, and let's spend the day doing our own things, tomorrow we'll have a meeting with the rest. In there, we'll show them your changes, and then we'll talk about many other things regarding the recent changes… in everything, pretty much." Said Chaos.
"Very well, we understand." Said Cthully.
"Let's go then, Abyss." Said Chaos.
"Alright!" said Abyss, as she held Chaos hand and the two flew down below into the planetoid where the castle and the rest of the kingdom was located.
Cthully and the other two summons were left floating in the middle of outer space.
"So are you guys hungry?" wondered Cthully.
The two nodded.
"Then let me try out my hand with cooking, now that I got some thumbs, it shouldn't be as hard, the maid outfit actually comes withs some enhancement that makes me better at doing household stuff as well!" said Cthully.
Tristan and Lancelot looked at Cthully with shining eyes as if they were happy to hear that, and then looked back at Abyss.
"Thank you, Abyss-sama." They said at the same time internally, although Cthully could hear their thoughts and wondered why they were saying that.
…
Abyss and Chaos reached their home, the large black castle that once belonged to Ainz, and quickly decided to take a warm bath together… Yes, together.
Chaos was not shy around Abyss, and Abyss wanted some more time alone with him, so the two enjoyed washing each other's backs and kissing a bit while resting over the warm waters.
Chaos enjoyed cold showers too, but this warm water was rather comfortable for him for some reason, and it really made him enjoy the stay completely, so he felt happy to be here, his muscles and entire body relaxed, and the cosmic energy that he had spent made his soul reduce in size a bit, but it was now going back to the original previous size as he generated more cosmic energy.
But due to that, he felt a bit tired.
"I have to practice my usage of cosmic energy some more… The planet's voice said that if I use it over and over again, it will slowly begin recovering faster. Now that my soul is being composed primarily of cosmic energy as most of the chaos is gone after I almost died, cosmic energy makes me up and if I use too much, I'll weaken…" said Chaos.
"Hm, I will help you use it more if you want… But don't you feel tired?" wondered Abyss.
"I do, I do feel quite tired each time I use a lot of cosmic energy, but it is something I have to do to grow stronger, so it is within my expectative to get tired and exhausted beyond belief…" sighed Chaos.
"Hmm, you sometimes push yourself way too much, just relax for now, you can practice tomorrow." Said Abyss, massaging his shoulders.
"Yes… I suppose I will take your advice." Said Chaos.
