Chapter 354 - Youve Grown A Bit (2/2)

Even more, what if Valen had showed up while Chaos wasn't there? Without Chaos to distract such a monstrously strong being, all of them, every person there would had gotten killed.

It was something rather disheartening to think about, but it was the truth of what had happened, and they couldn't keep running away from the truth of what had truly happened.

They had to face it and find a way out of it together now, as a team, and not just as Chaos with his servants, but as a group, with Chaos as a leader, not a boss.

He had to guide them and lead them to grow stronger themselves, because he knew that even if he could divide himself and be with everyone else at the same time, he was certainly incapable of being at full power with everyone if the situations change at unpredictable turns.

The Universe was indeed a very dangerous place.

It was a very beautiful place, an ever-expanding paradise where life was in every corner, every planet might harbor some sort of life, and even the outer space had living beings of enormous sizes wandering around… but it was also a place of endless dangers.

”I am sorry for having lost… I disappointed you all, right? A leader shouldn't show such weaknesses…” sighed Chaos.

”No, my lord, we are sorry… We are not strong enough to keep up with you… We are not even strong enough to survive on our own…” sighed Belphegor.

”We are very sorry…” said Lilith.

”We were apart from Abyss group, instead of acting together, we all ended chasing you and ignoring Abyss and the rest…” sighed Erebus.

”No, you guys… don't apologize for something like that! It is fine, I know that you were chasing him… I was… I did what I did because I was reckless… Nesephise… She's my friend… Someone that I care for and… seeing her suffer so much… And after I saw that man killing those innocent slaves, he had inside his divine realm… It really broke my heart.” Cried Abyss.

Chaos then realized that Abyss had indeed changed, she was heartbroken for the death of other people who were given injustice, but it was completely unrelated people to them yet… she had grow so much that she now had a very strong feeling of empathy with others, and she had grown as a person.

In the past she often wondered why Chaos was so dead-set in helping innocents, and more… but now, she had already become similar to him without realizing it.

”So that's what you think, huh, Abyss? You've really changed… You have grown as a person, without you realizing it.” said Chaos.

”Eh? Me? Why?” she asked.

Chaos smiled back at her gently.

”No, nothing… So you want to save these people? You want to bring them justice that this world, this universe doesn't bring to them? Is that what you truly want, Abyss?” asked Chaos.

”I…” Abyss looked down, as she began to think.
