Again, Jin stood in front of the door of chaos.
As usual, all the Plutonian tribesmen were looking at Jin and the door of chaos alternately.
"Chaos’ fate will be decided today."
“Whatever choice Brother Jin makes, we will follow it wholeheartedly.”
Jin looked at Vahn, who was standing there with an expressionless face. In her calm eyes, there was a feeling of loneliness that she had harbored for the past two days as she watched the door of chaos.
“I’ll be back.”
As Jin entered the door, the darkness of emptiness and chaos greeted Jin.
Originally, whenever Jin came in, he immediately saw the huge body of Chaos. Chaos started the fight each time with a powerful front paw swing or a super powerful tail slap.
Is it because he lost his power now, or is there another reason? There was no chaos in sight.
Because of this, Jin moved forward aimlessly.
He walked slowly for about an hour. And for the first time since he entered the realm of chaos, he was able to realize that there was an 'end' in this dark space.
Jin began to see an unusually dark curtain. At first he thought it was the point leading into the chaos’s unconscious, as it had been in Glyek’s abyss, but that was just the end.
It seemed to be blocked by a wall, and Jin couldn't move forward. Even if it was cut with the shadow sword, the rift did not open and it was not destroyed.
Let's walk a little further along the wall, farther away. Jin saw a crouching chaos.
Chaos raised its body as Jin came into view, and it looked even smaller than last time.
Although it maintains the shape of a dragon, it is generally round and almost looks like a baby rabbit. It was a size that wouldn't be cover even if it was placed on the palm of the hand.
Moreover, Chaos no longer gave the same destructive powerful feeling as before. Chaos lost almost all its power when it was hit by Jin's shadow sword ultimate technique.
[Hey, you bastard. It’s disgusting to see your arrogant face that already drunk with a sense of victory.]
Jin had an expressionless face.
“Sister battle god said this outside. It's not that you couldn't kill me, it's that you didn't kill me for fear of being more lonely. Is that true?”
[What do you know, you said you were going to kill me now.]
Jin unsheathed his sword and set it aside. Then, after raising his hand as if he had no intention of harming it, he sat down ten steps away from the chaos.
“You never know, your answer may change my mind.”
[Huh! Are you being relaxed because you can handle me even without a weapon?]
“You are quite twisting the meaning.”
[Doesn't it look like that? My life is ruined because of you. Originally, I should have hatched perfectly as one with you, but that went wrong thanks to your sister taking me out. Then we should be able to live our own lives, but you rushed to kill me.]
“Isn’t that natural since you took away my strength?”
[Your monstrous siblings only took your side. Ignoring all my appeals.]
“It was a problem that would have ended if you returned my strength.”
[If I return it, I'll be killed by you and those monsters because I'm worthless! Did you ever think of talking like you do now? Besides, you keep saying I stole it, but that's my power.]
A moment of silence passed.
“You just said that your life was ruined. Is that because you lost all your strength? Or is it because once you enter this place, you cannot go out on your own?”
[…… Wait, how do you know that I can't go out on my own?]
“Sister battle god told me. Every time I opened a rift, your inside thoughts were conveyed.”
The eyes of chaos widened. Chaos was completely unaware of that fact.
[Ha! Really? You mean, she knew everything. And yet she kept sitting on the sidelines as you threatened to kill me? That's great.]
As if unfair, chaos gnashed its teeth.
“She is my sister. It is natural to classify you as an enemy.”
Jin shrugs. For a moment, he looked back at this dark space he had walked through. There is literally nothing but pitch-black darkness, and even it took him an hour by walking to reach this place.
When Jin thought that this place was all allowed to Chaos, he felt even more sorry.
'The reason why the sister battle god kept looking at the door with such lonely eyes was probably because she desperately felt its loneliness.'
When Chaos was outside, Jin could read its inner thoughts. At that time, unlike now, he was full of anger toward chaos, but he felt sorry for it now.
Somehow, it reminded Jin about Shuri. For almost a thousand years she was abandoned and alone in the desolate forest of thorns in the corner of the Black Sea.
Let's save it. Jin came to that conclusion.
“You don’t seem to be able to read my thoughts right now, do you?”
[You're thinking about how to kill me.]
“It is the opposite. However, I have some concerns.”
[What?]
“First of all, I heard that you are the first chaos that originated from the witch Helluram. And the first chaos has particularly erratic properties.”
[Who is Witch Helluram?]
“What?"
[I don't know that. I just woke up in you.]
Chaos was in a state where it has no awareness that it was the 'first chaos that started from the witch'. It was also the reason why chaos always recognized Jin's power as 'its own'.
Chaos is thinking that it was born from Jin, not from witch.
“Then why did you react so sensitively to the shadow force?”
[It's instinctive fear. It's to the point where I don't know how I could have born from you who had something like that.]
In other words, chaos was a kind of ‘seed’. Helluram's power just settled inside Jin like a seed sprouting.
To Chaos, it doesn't matter who sowed the seeds, and it didn't even care. Originally, eating Jin and trying to become one with him only an instinctive growth process from Chaos prospective.
When Chaos explained these things, Jin couldn't help but laugh.
“These are unbelievable stories.”
[Whether this is a lie or not, you will know as soon as you go outside. Because your monster sister will be able to read my inner thoughts.]
“Aren’t you using tricks to get out?”
[You really can't believe me until the end. I fled here because I was afraid of your monster sister in the first place, and you kept resonating with her and become stronger. Now I'm in a state where I've lost my strength, what can I do if I go outside? I don't have any cards left, thanks to you!]
It didn't sound like a lie.
'Well, it was terribly afraid of my siblings even when it had power in the first place.'
Jin nodded.
“Okay, I’ll take you outside. What should I do?”
[If you just open a rift...… Really?]
"Since I have regained all my strength, there's really no reason to kill you. Personal resentment has also been resolved to some extent. There is one last remaining problem, but for the sake of sister battle god, I'm willing to take that much.”
[…… For the monster sister?]
Swoosh-!
Jin unleashed his shadow sword and opened a rift.
“Let’s go.”
Chaos followed Jin and stood in front of the rift, then hesitated for a while.
[If I leave, won't your monster sister hate me?]
"Well. If you want to stay here, do so.”
[No, no. I will go, go.]
Eventually, when Jin and Chaos came out in the training ground, the Plutonian opened their eyes wide as if they were curious.
“Is that the first chaos?”
“It's gotten really small, isn't?”
“Brother Jin said he wanted to give it a chance, but it seems you decided to let it live.”
“Now that it’s like this, let’s welcome it. It also came out a little cute.”
“Oh, Brother Jin. Well done! I was actually worried about what would happen if you killed that guy. Nice to meet you, I am Boras the 5th battle King! Since we have to conduct some research with your help in the future, shouldn't we get closer especially quickly?”
Confused by the unexpected hospitality, chaos hid behind Jin. Also, Jin saw Vahn’s eyebrows narrowing.
As soon as they come out again to Laprarosa, she is able to read the inner thoughts of Chaos.
On the other hand, Jin did not hear the inner thoughts of chaos.
“Come closer.”
Vahn reached out to Chaos. Chaos looked at her and cautiously climbed onto her hand.
'It said it was scared and hated her all the time, but it’s truly a gentle sheep for the sister Vahn.'
One last remaining problem. When Jin said that just before coming out, he meant the black spots left on his body.
There was an intuition that if Jin kill Chaos, it would disappear, but Jin saved Chaos for Vahn.
It was because he had seen Vahn being sad. Vahn had felt the chaos solitude as if it were her own, and felt a kind of homogeneity with chaos. She feels a sense of kinship with being trapped in a dead world that she can never get out of it on her own.
That is why she looked at the door of chaos with such lonely eyes.
Chaos seemed to keep saying something in an inner voice while sitting on Vahn’s hand. Vahn often nodded her head in response.
“…… So, does that mean you can get rid of Brother Jin's spots? I get it. Brother Jin.”
“Yes, sister battle god.”
“Now I will take care of this child.”
Jin didn't question Vahn.
She chose that because she is confident that chaos could never threaten herself or others.
Black energy flowed from the body of Chaos like an shadow force.
The energy hovered near Vahn and was absorbed into her illuminating heart.
As the energy of chaos seeped into Vahn’s illuminating heart, the spots that spread like tumor all over Jin's body faded and disappeared.
It looked like a contract of some sort, but from Chaos’ point of view, it was a ‘moving’.
‘By the way, how could you be so heartless? I thought you were reading my inner thoughts.'
'That's because you tried to harm Brother Jin.'
'The reason you decided to accept me in the end is because I might be of some help to that damn bastard.'
At that, Vahn patted the head of chaos and replied as follows.
'It's not necessarily because of that.'
And Chaos was reading Vahn’s inner thoughts. The truth is that I have felt so sorry for you since the first time your inner thoughts was transmitted through the rift.
