When Aruliel woke up she found herself being greeted by Chaos, Abyss, Erebus, and Rot.
Erebus and Rot were technically like the two adoptive children of Chaos and Abyss at this point, the two were clingy and acted very spoiled with the two, and the two also enjoyed spoiling them.
When Rot woke up healed, she was hugged by Chaos because he felt very guilty because of what had happened to her, even if tearing herself in half was not that bad as an undead, it was still something impactful that hurt her, and Chaos had to at least hug her and apologize.
Since yesterday when that happened that Rot had been extra clingy, and she immediately showed up at the side of Chaos and Abyss, but the two couldn't really move her away now that she was happy, so they let her hang around.
Her mind was still developing but it was that of a young child, so she sometimes didn't knew how to talk, and often was the "silent-type" in most of the conversations, but she had a big appetite and made herself present when she did something unintentionally funny.And Erebus, well, he had been hanging on with the two for some time now, being a Dungeon created by Chaos without him realizing, the dungeon core split itself in two and slowly took the form of Chaos, walking away from the dungeon and showing up as a little child.
And since then, Chaos and Abyss decided to adopt him, and were slowly raising him as their child, although as he grew stronger and he evolved, he became more and more mature, although he still acted like a spoiled kid, although he had learned how to better talk now.
He had absorbed several dungeons by now, and even his original dungeon where he split off was absorbed and fused with him, so he can continue growing stronger this way… he is a being shrouded with Chaos and Dark elements, and much like Rot having Chaos and Death, Chaos believes that the two might be capable of using Fragments of the Forbidden One… although he had not thought about making them use them for now.
"Hmm? Ah… Chaos… Chaos-sama!"
Aruliel raised her hands as she jumped out of bed, hugging Chaos.
"Aruliel… Are you okay?" asked Chaos.
"Yes… I am okay… I… Eh? The fragments are calm now…" said Aruliel. "I thought I had gone berserk a while back. Just what happened?""Yeah, I checked them just now… It seems that they calmed down." Said Chaos. "Did you tamed them? It seems they're being controlled by a will… Your will."
"My… will?"
Aruliel felt speechless. Apparently, she had suddenly gained the ability to suppress the power of the fragments and actually use them on herself… This was rather incredible.
"Impressive, you can even use the fragments for yourself now…" said Chaos. "You've really grown stronger… I guess all those difficulties you went through worked."
"Yeah… I suppose they did… I kind of had like a mental fight against the fragments wills, it was hard, but I am glad I triumphed at the end." Said Aruliel. "I have to practice now and try to use them… perhaps I can achieve that form I used in the battle against the Forbidden One's Ego once more…"
"I will help you train, as a fellow fragment user." Said Chaos. "I also want to figure out what kid of fragments you got, they seem interesting."
"I see… I am grateful if you can help me, Chaos-sama!" said Aruliel, getting all clingy with Chaos and hugging him, rubbing her face over his chest.
Abyss at the sides was slowly growing more and more angered as her entire body exuded a dark and angered aura, her veins began to pop out of her forehead and she started to grit her teeth and make them sound very loudly, breaking the atmosphere that Aruliel was creating by hugging Chaos.
"Uwah! S-Sorry, it wasn't my intention to get so clingy." Said Aruliel. "I am sorry, Abyss-sama, don't look at me like that!" Aruliel began to cry little tears like she always does.
Chaos petted Aruliel and Abyss at the same time, as Abyss slowly grew pity for Aruliel.
"Don't worry, she's just family." Said Chaos. "You don't have to get so jealous."
"O-Okay… I wasn't jealous or anything!" said Abyss. "I don't know where you're getting that from…"
"Okay… sure." Said Chaos, as he continued to pet her head until she blushed and calmed down.
"Now that you're awake we should quickly go eat breakfast and then gather with everybody else, they're eager to see you. We'll do a small meeting." Said Chaos. "We need to plan what to do and more, so we have to discuss it."
"O-Okay then!" said Aruliel. "Let's go!"
And like that, the group quickly went to have breakfast and then gathered together in a large table inside a room where they gathered with the entirety of the rest of their group, the new additions being Cthully, Tristan, and Lancelot.
Chaos had to introduce these three to the rest of the group once more, many were surprised to know that the beautiful octopus lady was in fac the giant octopus's monster, an aberrant summon that Chaos kept around sometimes.
And then the other two… it felt as if they had gotten a whole makeover or something, their colorful hair, the handsome face, and everything else! It was way too much makeover, in fact, they got some sort of plastic surgery or whatever…
"Wow you three really got better!" said Natalia. "I can't believe you used to be summons…"
"Incredible, you three have really changed." Said Belphegor. "Did you got plastic surgery?"
"A-Are they really those plain summons from before? I remember those two guys couldn't speak and the octopus was a girl this whole time?!" asked Ifrit. "Incredible…" Ifrit had recovered by now, and had decided to join the meeting by Lilith and Chaos' request.
"We just evolved!" roared Tristan.
"We didn't get any weird surgery!" cried Lancelot.
"Ah, well, I expected this," sighed Cthully.
