Epic of Vampire Dragon: Reborn as a Vampire Dragon with a System
chapter-453-30041322

Chaos had heard this voice before. He had heard it when he was training, it was the faint voice of a small and young child, it was so small and adorable that Chaos couldn't help but worry, thinking it could be a baby that got lost on his divine realm or something, but no matter how much he searched around, he didn't found anything.

However, he quickly realized this voice didn't come from any person but… the Universal Tree itself. It was shocking to him, but he didn't really had the time to go around being shocked for everything. And because he wanted to see if others could hear this voice, he brought his most trusted family, Abyss.

And it seemed that Abyss was able to hear the little voice as well. It was unclear whether it was the voice of a girl or a boy, as when children are so small, their voices are hard to be differentiated between male and female. But it was certainly very adorable.

"Just what is this? Is the tree really saying this?" Asked Abyss.

"I think so… I have no idea why or how, but this is what I think is happening." Sighed Chaos. "Abyss, come."

Chaos held Abyss hand as the two flew above the sea of chaos and darkness, reaching the beautiful semi-transparent tree, it looked as if it was made out of many stars and nebulas, and it shone bright and beautifully. It was as tall as 40 meters by now, so big it went all the way up into the sky of his divine realm.

"So beautiful… It is very beautiful when you see it so close…" Sighed Abyss.

"Indeed…" Said Chaos. "Abyss, I think… this voice is calling us. It called me papa and it called you mama… I don't even know what I am saying but I just feel it…"

"Oh… I-I see… What do you want me to do?" Wondered Abyss.

"Let's touch the tree together." Said Chaos.

"A-Alright…" Said Abyss.

Both of them held hands tightly, as they touched the tree at the same time, sparkles of light suddenly emerged everywhere, as cosmic energy began to spread across the sea of chaos and darkness. Their energies were suddenly absorbed in large quantities, surprising them.

However, they didn't do anything and let the tree absorb what it required, they even felt a little piece of their souls and even flesh was taken smoothly, all merging together within the tree and promptly seemingly disappearing…

"W-What was that? Ugh, I felt slightly tired." Sighed Abyss.

"Hm… Here." Said Chaos, touching Abyss shoulder, he filled her with cosmic energy and divine energy, promptly recovering her from her weakened state.

"Phew, much better, thanks a lot." Said Abyss. "…But what was that about?"

"…I have no idea, but it felt as if something needed… pieces of both of us." Said Chaos.

"Pieces…?" Wondered Abyss, tilting her head in confusion as she admired the beautiful tree.

FLASH!

And suddenly, out of the blue, one of the largest branches of the tree began to converge a large quantity of energy within itself, using it to flourish into a beautiful white flower!

"T-That's a flower?!" Asked Abyss. "I never thought this tree could have flowers or even fruits!"

"I didn't know either…" Said Chaos. "But it seems that such a beautiful flower might harbor our powers… But why? Will it give us a delicious fruit to eat? …No, something else."

"Perhaps that voice… Erm… Hehe… M-Maybe it is like our baby?" Asked Abyss.

"B-Baby?" Asked Chaos. "Certainly… but why and how? This tree… Was it trying to create some sort of avatar using our combined energies and powers? Hm…."

"W-Well, it was just a theory, it stopped growing let's not overthink about it, let's leave the tree on its own to grow big on its own, right? No need to bother it anymore." Said Abyss.

"Right… I suppose we have to just leave it be." Said Chaos, as he nodded rather confidently. "Let's go practice more energy manipulation for now."

"Yeah!" Said Abyss. "Though… We have been practicing for weeks now…" Sighed Abyss. "Can't we take a break and relax?"

"A break…" Said Chaos. "Ah… Sorry, I've been too immersed in what I must do that I ended forgetting about taking a break." Sighed Chaos, as he smiled faintly at Abyss.

"What do you want to do?" Wondered Chaos.

"W-What I want? Hahah… W-Well…" Abyss said, as she began to wonder. "It has been a while since we have been lovely together…"

"Oh…"

"Want to come to my divine realm?" Wondered Abyss with a coquettish gaze.

"Sure thing."

Chaos was quickly dragged inside of Abyss' Divine Realm, as she guided him inside of her large black castle, a gloomy place which was illuminated by many candles and phantasmal flames inside.

"S-Seeing how there are many things that are going to happen soon… I was thinking that our lives… might continue to constantly be threatened so I thought that… We should also appreciate these little moments…" Said Abyss.

"Abyss… I will never let anything happen to you, you shouldn't worry." Said Chaos.

"But even when we plan so much, there are always uncertain things, right?" Asked Abyss.

"…" Chaos fell into silence; he couldn't help but agree with her. "You're right…"

"After all… What happened to you against Valen and everything… We might had surpassed him at the end, but still… You… you almost died…" Sighed Abyss.

"…I know." Sighed Chaos. Wishing he could had developed his emotions a bit further to realize what was troubling Abyss mind. "I won't let that happen again…"

"I know you'll do the best you can for that to not happen again…" Sighed Abyss. "I know you're not lying… I've seen you working hard and everything but still…"

Chaos sat down at the side of Abyss over her bed, as he hugged her shoulders.

"Abyss… I am sorry…" Sighed Chaos. "I should had apologized earlier."

"No… Don't apologize…" Said Abyss. "Maybe I am being too frightful… I just want both of us to…" Abyss whispered, touching Chaos chest, and slowly moving her face near his own as both of their eyes met lovingly.
