Chapter 72: Thoughts (1/2)

-----

Chaos woke up refreshed today, although there was a small dungeon core sleeping over his stomach.

Of course, if he didn't want it to sleep at his side he would have told it to not, but because Chaos felt responsible for the creation of this young creature, that unlike the other summoned monsters didn't possess previously earned or artificially injected experience, he had decided to take care of it whenever he could.

He wasn't going to suddenly shift his life as that of a father and throw away everything else though, he was still set on his goals, and Erebus here was but a little distractor, one that perhaps might bring a lot of interesting things to the table. Due to its existence as a unique being, a Dungeon Dragon, Chaos might find a way to acquire new soldiers and also resources through his dungeon powers.

Although the dungeon itself was also doing so, the production was fairly slow, as it was a static being that was holed in the ground. Although as long as it continued to gain his miasma, it would certainly produce more monsters and riches.

Nonetheless, with Erebus here, such a production could now be doubled.

He still wondered if it could be possible to slice apart the dungeon to produce more ”twins” such as Erebus here, but he considered that such a thing wouldn't work a second time and that perhaps for the trigger and the actual thing to happen, something else was needed.

And those were emotions, maybe.

It was rather obvious at this point, Erebus was born from the desire formed by the ego of the Dungeon Core, which desired to be more time with the person that brought him warmth and that ”make it feel whole”.

It was a strange concept for Chaos, certainly, but he was still assessing the turmoil of emotions within his chaotic mind.

Nonetheless, having a child or not did affect his mindset, nor would it make him softer… Of course, Chaos had begun to grow gentler towards those that served him and that he saw as ”family”, and so, this included Erebus.

However, his mindset was strong and his will unbreakable, despite developing strong emotions that made him seem ”human” to an extent, within his mind there was something that not even humans could comprehend, a darkness and constant and twisting chaos that could not be easily comprehended not even by the Gods themselves.

The nature of Chaos was still unclear, he often did things that contradicted his previous acts, and often he changed his thought and perception of things as he developed and went through more experiences.

However, deep within it, one could say that he did had a nature.

A Chaotic Nature.

He didn't let himself be manipulated by any sense of morality nor righteousness. To explain Chaos thought process, it could be easily said that he… did whatever he pleased.
