Chapter 651: The One's Promise
Chapter 651: The One’s Promise
—–
The One suddenly remembered something that one of their kin had done.
Azathoth, another Primordial Deity had acted greatly all across the Universe and had even created his own Plane and several beings named Outer Gods out of his flesh.
Outer gods were like equivalents to Chaos and The One’s children, and he had even made a Plane for them to live in, nourishing it with his Universal Essence.
But he had also done all of this without interfering with the Universe itself, because such things were just a result of his own body and powers and not truly an interference into any events.
He let what came from him to interfere.
They realized that their own children, if the laws they believed applied to them like they thought they did, would had been punished for existing, but instead, they were not.
This meant that things that came form them which were directly not THEM could still intervene.
“That’s it!” said The One.
“Huh? But… I cannot do much, I am sealed…” said Chaos.
“I will help them then.” Said The One.
“You alone?” asked Chaos.
“Haven’t you noticed? I am filled to the brim with power, and the Overseers managed to not target me… I can do this.” he said.
“But…”
“I do also have my own Plane, and my own forgotten servants. The only interfere in the most Universe-threatening of affairs… But even then, they have to obey what I order them to do.” Said The One.
“The Archangels?!” asked Chaos.
“They might not be as strong now that they had been slumbering for so long, but they can still do something… And well, we can always do that as well.” Said The One.
“You’re so filled with conviction… Are you the real man I knew before?” asked Chaos.
“I told you I’ve changed, Chaos… I know it is hard to believe but… I am willing to sacrifice my power for my own children, and for your own as well.” Said The One.
“You fool…” she sighed.
“I have become a fool… I suppose.” Sighed The One.
“If you keep acting like that…” muttered Chaos.
“Don’t worry.” Said The One.
“…”
“Now, I have to get to it. It will… take some time, but I will try to do what I can as fast as possible…” said The One.
“Wait!”
“Hm?”
“I… I am sorry too.” Said Chaos.
“What?”
“I didn’t treated you fairly before… We used to discuss for everything, without me realizing what you went through…” said Chaos.
The One felt his Origin Core shine and beat as if it were a heart. Her tender words were like music to his earing senses.
“You’re such a beautiful and gentle woman…”
“Ah…!”
Chaos felt embarrassed…
“Don’t worry about it. I am fine as I am… And I… I will also try to help Kireina so we can free you…” said The One.
“Y-You will help her too?” she asked.
“Indeed… I cannot fathom the thought of having my beloved Chaos being restrained like this.” sighed The One.
“S-Stop saying such tender words…” sighed Chaos.
“You’re such a beautiful being… I have just realized how stupid I have been to never see this truly. We completement each other so truthfully… Chaos and Law… Light and Darkness… I want to amend for my past mistakes and make sure to tell you how I feel, even if I sound like a creep.” Said The One.
“Y-You don’t sound like one….” She sighed.
“I don’t?”
“No… You sound… I… Hahh…” Chaos felt bubbling emotions inside of her Origin Core. She had once desired his love for so long, yet she was never loved back.
Now, that he seemed to begin to love her, it was being hard for her to say anything regarding it and felt reclusive of her own feelings and emotions.
“Do you think we can start over?” she asked.
“Eh? W-What?!” he asked in surprise.
“I’ve always had these bubbled feelings for so long, hopelessly, I have always loved you…” sighed Chaos.
“My Chaos… I love you too… I love you so much…”
“Ah… Is this a dream? Are you truly saying such words?”
“Indeed… I am. I really do love you… I want to be with you forever… I’ve realized how much of a meaning you bring to me.”
“I-Idiot… you’re talking too much…”
“We have to prove our children that their parents can make a change, even if we cannot directly interfere… We must give them hope.”
“You’re right…”
“And when you’re freed, I will come near you, and hug you.”
“H-Hug me?!”
“And I will caress you.”
“C-Caress?!”
“And perhaps, even kiss you, if we can even do such a thing… But I will try.”
“K-Kiss?! F-Fweehh… W-What are you talking about now? Y-You idiot! We don’t even have proper physical bodies!”
“But I’ve seen what mortals do. It looks beautiful, can we do it?”
“…Maybe.”
“Then I will look forward to it… For now, take this gift.”
“A-A gift?!”
The One suddenly sent a small sparkle of light towards Chaos.
It suddenly turned into a bright white stone.
“I can’t gift this directly to them, but I can give it to a being of my same Realm.”
“What is this?”
“An Eternity Stone. It contains the power of Eternity within, a Primordial Universe-Rank Material. Use it when the time is needed.”
“When… the time is needed?”
“You will know when it is the time to use it… But for now, keep it as a good luck charm.”
“Luck? You believe in luck now, idiot?”
“Your daughter made it possible for luck to exist, so why wouldn’t I believe on it now?” he laughed.
“Very well then… I will hold it tightly within me… And hope that you can fulfill the promises you’ve made to this hopelessly in love woman… I want to believe… Please… Don’t break my heart again.” she sighed.
“I won’t.” he promised.
The One flew back to his Primordial Realm, as he began to quickly do as he promised.
