Chapter 170: The Demigods Presences Emerge! Chaos Desperate Measures! (2/2)
”Papa?” asked Erebus fearfully.
”My lord!” said Belphegor.
”What I feared is happening, just now I sensed five Demigod-Level beings. They were all heading our way. This cannot be a mere coincidence; they had come to kill me. I accurately calculated that it was not enough to defeat them, all of my strength was not enough… I will pick the Fragment of the Forbidden One while I can, while I left five of my clones to fight against them.”
”What…! But my lord, we can also fight!” said Abyss.
”Let us go as well, we can buy you some time.” Said Erebus.
”We are ready to give our lives for you if that means we can buy you more time, my lord!” said Belphegor.
Chaos clicked his tongue, as he angrily shouted at his allies.
”You idiots! What nonsense are you talking about?!” he roared.
”Eh?”
”My lord?”
”But…!”
”Do you truly believe that after everything, I am willing to throw you into the trash bin?! I won't let you sacrifice yourselves for me…” he said.
His words, although covered in anger, were also tender. He had grown too attached to them, losing them in battle was something he was not willing to go through.
Chaos was obstinate and certainly incredibly insane, his insanity was stuck into the desire of not letting his subordinates die, something so strong it made them reconsider their words.
”You're all my family… Don't you know how painful it would be to lose you? I will rather escape!” said Chaos.
”But then they will follow us… we cannot possibly bring them back to our Kingdom…” said Abyss.
”Papa… Where will we go if they'll follow us everywhere?” wondered Erebus.
”Everywhere else then! We'll travel all around the continent and go on circles, until we can slowly figure out a way… If possible, even luring them… I do have a plan. But this plan is filled with risks. But is the only plan I have now.” Said Chaos.
”A plan…?”
”We'll do the impossible and survive.” Said Chaos, his eyes flashing with crimson-red light. He welcomed this challenge even with the fear he felt for his life. He was going to use every tool he could to beat these entities and bring forth the victory he seeks.
He was going to do everything he could… everything!
And the plan had already begun as he dug deep into the sand, and suddenly came in front of a gigantic underground temple while breaking apart the ceiling.
CLASH!
A flood of sand began to slowly fill the temple where he arrived, as he released several flames around to illuminate the place.
”The temple of an ancient civilization… this is where the Fragment is- Huh?”
BOOM!
CLANK! CLANK! CLANK!
Without even waiting for him to get closer, a massive black scorpion with several crimson-red eyes rushed towards Chaos, surging from the temple's depths!
”Gahahaha! Food! Finally! More food!” it laughed, its pincers clapping eerily!
Chaos readied for battle as his allies came out once more to assist him…
Meanwhile, within the surface, Chaos Clones dug into the sand and shapeshifted into different appearances, with only one remaining resembling him…
