Divinity: Against the Godly System

Chapter 606: I'm real

"Why did I kill him? The answer should be obvious. Because he wanted me dead. I just told him to let me seal him and not inform others about me. He didn’t agree. And I did it," Chaos answered. "I’m giving you the same choice. Don’t make the same mistake he did. That’s for your own good."

"So you killed him because you were scared of being in front of other gods? You’ve changed. If it were the old you, you would’ve told him to call the other gods too while you stood there proudly. Aren’t I right?" The Lord of Space asked.

" There are more things at stake than you can understand. I don’t want to go all out just yet," Chaos answered, sighing.

" Was I right then? You’re weak now?" Lord of Space inquired. "But it doesn’t look like that from your aura. There is certainly something odd with it but not that much," the Lord of Space answered, sighing.

"Let me guess, the reason you don’t want the other gods to come is because you don’t think you can face them all at once, in the condition you’re right now. Am I right?" he further inquired.

Chaos didn’t answer this time. He just looked back at the Lord of Space.

The silence was scary as no one knew how long it was going to last. Both of them knew that they couldn’t keep talking. Soon, it was going to be the time for them to fight like they were thirsty for each other’s blood.

It was especially hard for Chaos. The Lord of Space was his last friend. These two grew up together. Other than the Lord of Time, he was the only one Chaos had. One was already killed by him.

Even though these two had fought last time when Chaos was attacked by all the gods, he didn’t hate them. If possible, he wanted to let them both live. But the Lord of Time didn’t accept his condition. And it seemed like it was going to be the same now.

The only difference was that this place was earth. It wasn’t a different realm like before. If they fought, their battle had the potential to destroy the entire planet. Moreover, this was certainly going to bring the other gods here by alerting them.

Fortunately, Chaos didn’t have the limitation like before. The body of Ryder was fully capable to accommodate him for now.

Chaos took a deep breath. " Old Friend, is this your last decision?"

" To not surrender? To not let myself be sealed? Yeah, I think I’m better off without that," the Lord of Space responded. "Also, want to know something fun?"

"What?" Chaos inquired.

The Lord of Space raised his hand to reveal the red crystal which was in his hand.

Seeing the crystal, Chaos frowned.

"I think you already failed. Even if I let myself be sealed, that won’t do anything. They already know," the Lord of Space told Chaos, smirking.

"They should have received my message some time ago. And they’ll be here soon," the Lord of Space answered.

Chaos looked towards the sky before he glanced back at the Lord of Space.

"Is that so? You sent them a message?" He asked.

"That’s right," the Lord of Space answered. "It’s a funny coincidence that I had this thing with me. Who knew it’d come so handy."

" Did you get any message back?" Chaos asked softly.

"Hmm?" A frown formed on the face of the Lord of Space. He did realize that he hadn’t received any message back. But he thought that it was because they were all trying their best to get the information to other gods, and that’s why they couldn’t reply.

That also raised a question for him. How did the Chaos know about this? How did he know that no message came back?

"From the look on your face, I suppose you got no reply yet? Go ahead. Send them a message again. Ask them how long they’ll take to get here?" Chaos asked, folding his arms. "They should be pretty fast if I’m not wrong."

The Lord of Space again sent a message through the communication Crystal.

It was the same this time. No reply came back.

"What did you do? I’m sure it’s working! Why am I not getting a message back?" Lord of Space asked.

"How would you? Your message isn’t reaching them after all. I doubt they could reply to something they don’t get," Chaos replied.

"How did you do it?" Lord of Space inquired.

"It wasn’t hard. I did what you did," Chaos replied.

"What do you mean?" Lord of Space asked.

"You sealed the atmosphere around me. Similarly, I sealed the whole world," Chaos answered, smiling. "No message can come here or go outside. I think you’re on your own this time. So be careful."

This time, it was the turn of Lord of Space to be surprised. So he couldn’t call anyone here. He was on his own.

"I shouldn’t be surprised that you managed to do this," Lord of Space said, sighing. "If it’s like that, then the two of us are alone. You can’t bring Janus inside either. You’re also alone."

"Do you really think I’ll need to call help?" Chaos smiled as he raised his hand towards the sky, bringing out the Moon Scythe.

"The weapon of the Lord of Death? How do you have it?" Lord of Space asked, taken aback.

"It just found its way to me, I guess. It’s not a bad weapon at all actually. Pretty good when it comes to killing. But I still would’ve preferred to have my sword. Where did you all keep that?" Chaos asked. "I haven’t been able to sense it at all."

"That sword? I don’t think you’ll ever get that cursed sword back. It’s so out of your reach now," the Lord of Space answered.

"Where?" Chaos repeated his question.

"I won’t answer. In any case, it’s my duty to take you out now, knowing what you’re planning. You won’t need your Sword," the Lord of Space answered as he raised his hand as well, bringing a semi-transparent sword out of thin air.

The Sword was known as the Space Shattering Sword, which was the weapon of the Lord of Space. It was said to be a sword that could even cut space itself. No person could hide from the attack of this sword.

Since it was a special sword that used the Space, it could avoid any defense when attacking. It could pass through any defense or block by temporarily shifting itself to a temporary space while continuing on its path until it reached the enemy. And that’s when it came out to slice the enemies in half.

Just because of this specialty, it was said to be a really frightening weapon that rendered any defense useless.

"I see you’re still carrying that sword. It seems more powerful than the last time I faced it. How?" Chaos inquired, noticing the Sword.

"Not only the sword, but the thousands of years of isolation had made me stronger as well. On the other hand, you should barely have your old power. The difference between us has decreased so much that you can’t even imagine. Let alone decrease, I think I’m stronger than you now," the Lord of Space answered.

"So instead of you asking me to surrender, it should be I who ask you that. I’m giving you the last chance! Surrender or else..."

"Or else what? You are threatening me?" Chaos asked, bursting into laughter.

"Alright. Since it’s that way, I’ll give you a handicap. I won’t move in the next two minutes. You can attack me as much as you want. If you can take me out, you’ll win, and I’ll surrender. If you can’t, then it’ll be my turn to get serious. That’s the least I can do for an old friend," Chaos said, laughing.

"Don’t blame me if I accept," the Lord of Space said as he raised his hand towards Chaos, controlling the space to bring Chaos to his knees.

"Huh?"

A stunned look was on his face as he saw Chaos unaffected. Something felt out of place. Even if it was Chaos, he had to use some strength to get out of it. But this time, he didn’t seem like he was putting any effort at all.

Chaos was simply standing there with his hands behind his back.

"Fine! I’ll really attack you now!" The Lord of Space said as he noticed that time was passing. He needed to use those two minutes to the fullest.

He waved his hand, firing two space blades towards the knees of Chaos.

The Space blades didn’t hit his knees though. The space blades simply passed through him as if he wasn’t even there.

" Are you an illusion? Why isn’t anything affecting you?!" Lord of Space asked, not understanding anything.

"I’m not an illusion," Chaos said as he stomped his foot on the ground to prove it.

As soon as his foot hit the ground, it started shaking as if an earthquake had come.
