Chapter 1833 Confrontation [13]
Chaos was running. It was running for the nearest settlement it could find. It needed to cause chaos. It needed to incite people to embrace disorder and his own power. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
It couldn't fight against Damien. it realized that no matter what it did, Damien had become an entity that it couldn't touch.
The power of Existence could not be underestimated. In a realm where nothing was allowed to exist, a force like that was inviolable.
Existence and Nonexistence were never meant to clash in the first place. If they were placed in each other's environments, they would be instantly stronger than anything else. When placed together in the Void, they were equal.
Using the two forces one after another was possible for the most skilled Supremes, but using them as one was almost impossible, as was the task of putting them together.
To reach the level of Absolute…there were so many people in the Land of Nothingness, but how many had left?
How many of those who left were able to achieve power higher than that point?
Damien had never interacted with an Absolute, nor had he ever heard of an Absolute existing before. He didn't doubt that they did, but their numbers were so few that it was better if they were believed to be the product of storytelling.
Bringing Existence into the Land of Nothingness was supposed to be impossible. There was only one Void Physique in the infinite cosmos, or it wouldn't have been possible for even Damien.
Since he achieved something so impossible and gained more control over Nonexistence because of it, how was Chaos supposed to stand against him?
Spiritual Gods were extremely powerful entities. In most cases, the longer they lived, the more powerful they became.
They could never be truly killed as they would return as long as people continued to believe in their concept. They wielded power that went against the laws of nature because they were embodiments of the laws of nature.
Chaos was no different. Until now, nobody had ever been able to touch a single fleck of his energy body.
But Damien…
Damien wasn't just able to touch it. He was able to manhandle it as he pleased, and if his mysterious energy managed to touch any piece of that energy, it would be abolished.
Chaos was opposed to Existence. Unlike Nonexistence, it wasn't directly opposed in such a way that neither of them could do anything to each other. Rather, a Spiritual God of Chaos was a special entity that would never be allowed to exist in Existence.
It was the opposite of the order that governed reality. Chaos was an important part of Existence, but it was never allowed to overshadow Order.
Damien was now the archnemesis that Chaos never wanted to meet, and he was chasing it like there was no tomorrow.
After all, there really wasn't a tomorrow.
The clone's battle was coming to an end. Damien had to catch it within the next few minutes, or everything would collapse.
Still, he wasn't afraid.
'My previous doubt wasn't unwarranted. If I was abiding by the rules of the realm, this fight would have gone differently.'
He had to admit that he wasn't technically a match for Chaos. It made him feel wrong to cheat for the win like this, but he did what was necessary.
That was how he comforted himself. Rather than following ethics uselessly and fighting a losing battle, he preferred to end things quickly by using everything at his disposal.
'And though it still makes all of this feel pointless, I already did it, so there's no point in complaining.'
He was experiencing the joy of a relatively even fight with his other body. Wasn't it fine to experience absolute domination in this one?
Chaos was definitely fast. Without a physical body to inhibit its movements, it really wasn't a force that could be stopped through ordinary means.
Unfortunately, Damien's entire problem was that his means weren't ordinary in the slightest.
'How could that person have a descendant? I thought…'
Chaos was focused on the wrong things. So absorbed in its thoughts and its search for somewhere to enhance its myth, it didn't even notice Damien's approach.
Or perhaps it could be attributed to the fact that his energy was currently untrackable in this realm?
Regardless, Damien appeared behind Chaos at an unknown time and followed him, seeing what it was up to. When he found nothing particularly interesting about the Spiritual God's rambling, he locked down the area. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
It wasn't discreet in the slightest. A large area around Chaos was suddenly filled with an immovable wall of black lightning explosions. The Spiritual God turned around in fear, finally registering Damien's presence.
"What the hell are you?!" It screamed furiously.
"How is this possible?!"
It wasn't fair. It wasn't fair in the slightest! Why did someone like him have to exist?! Why did he have to come to this realm at the worst possible timing?!
Chaos was reminded of an individual who came to the Land of Nothingness billions of years ago. He remembered the last time he suffered from an extremely similar situation.
Back then, the person in question was not bothered by the cycle of all things and chose to seal him rather than kill him. The person in front of Chaos now was clearly not planning to do the same.
It couldn't fight back. It couldn't resist. For the second time in its life, Chaos felt what it was like to be on the receiving end of that kind of treatment.
Damien had the chance to humiliate the Spiritual God, but he chose not to. He did understand its sentiments, after all.
He shook his head, resolved to end things quickly and without complication.
"It might seem unfair to you, but…do me a favor and die for the sake of everyone else's wellbeing."
Damien held his hand out. Chaos immediately felt the aura of death around him.
'No.'
This wasn't it.
'No. No. No.'
This wasn't how it was supposed to end.
'No. No. NO!'
It had no choice but to die here, but it couldn't allow this person to leave the realm and become Absolute. Another face of Chaos would be born in the future, and for its sake, Damien needed to die now.
"AAAHHHHHH!"
Chaos screamed as if it was fed up with its circumstances.
"Fine. Fine. FINE! If I must die, then I must die! However, I WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO LIVE AS YOU PLEASE!"
Chaos had the resolve and the reason.
Its entire plan was centered around a moment like this, but Chaos never expected that it would land itself in the same exact situation.
With no options and no hope, with only one fate awaiting it, Chaos detonated its very core as a Spiritual God. If it was going to die, then Damien was going to die as well.
For the sole purpose of achieving that goal, it used every possible ounce of power it could muster from both its current form and the form that was still stuck in the depths of the earth.
And the explosion created by such a massive outpouring of force…
…was large enough to turn the entire third island into a wasteland. BOOOOOOOOOOOM!
