Chapter 128: A Week After, Relaxing Day
—–
A week has passed since the fight against the Mindflayers within Chaos Kingdom, and things had advanced smoothly, the expansion over the Wasteland has continued thoroughly and hastily as the walls expanded for several kilometers around the perimeter.
Large farms filled with strange and dark vegetables and plants expanded over several kilometers, the creatures that dwelled in this island had also been thinned out by Chaos and his servants, and only monsters that emerged were those of the nearby dungeons, which were being visited every day by eager hunters.
Chaos had expanded his Kingdom territory in just a week to almost three times what it was, always adjusting the walls size to reach how he wanted it to be, things were moving at a great pace, and the sky had been cleansed from the dark clouds by his powers, every morning he would use No-Attribute Magic to generate transparent shockwaves of pure mana, blowing away the dark clouds and giving his city a beautiful and sunny day. The people had begun to appreciate the sun a lot, even Natalia, who lacked Vampire weaknesses.
The plants were being enhanced by the Elder Treant and his Scarecrows group, but the sunlight instead of killing these plants had enhanced them. It seemed that the plants of these areas were not fully adapted to darkness, but what happened was that they had two cycles, one where they looked gloomy while there was darkness, only seeping mana from the ground, and other times, when the sun rarely came out, they would become green, filled with flowers, and would release pollen to multiply, a truly fascinating thing.
Chaos had been summoning large Lesser Cthulhu for dinner every day, as they contained large quantities of delicious essence and were certainly quite tasty. He had even begun to distribute it with everyone on his Kingdom, so everyone was eating this delicious and nutritious octopus, and many new plates were invented by the local townspeople.
Additionally, Chaos had been working on his Kingdom’s defenses, always improving them everyday and now, there were several reinforcements to the bubble-shaped barrier that protected the entire Kingdom, the walls were also more enhanced, and were so hard that not even X-Rank Monsters would be able to get through, only to be devoured and turned into ashes by the Chaos Barrier.
Several new buildings had been erected, such as three Mage Towers that contained enormous, almost 40 meters big Mana Crystals made up of Chaos using Synthesis over a gigantic pile of them alongside the help of many other Alchemists.
These Mage Towers offered the city’s barrier with even more Mana and a continuous supply which it drained from the underground, which Chaos had seen to be an immense ocean of miasma, the same that was in the Abyssal Ocean, perhaps there were underground lakes that led to it, and therefore there was no worry about mana reserves now.
Even more incredible was that these Mage Towers were connected to all the people’s houses, fueling them with magic and fueling the use of magic tools of all kinds, such as magic tools that could make fire, or those that could create holograms using illusion magic (courtesy of Lilith) fused with Chaos Psionic Arts imitating newspaper, and even something similar to a Radio, as it could connect to a mana network and emulate sounds.
However, this technological advancement couldn’t be true without Chaos investigating the items left by his father and using his various new Jobs such as Crafter, Blacksmith, and Alchemist to comprehend, repair, and utilize these items, or even produce them on masse with the aid of Belphegor’s teachings and his hunger for knowledge which he satiated in the library every night.
He had also been using the constant supply of materials to constantly summon new soldiers to his army, however, due to the lack of space, he had decided to stop at some point.
He had gotten more demons such as Lilith and Ifrit, which he had upgraded into powerful beings, and had even gotten Elementals, beings made of elements that were capable of incredible feats using their ethereal elemental-based bodies.
There was such a big variety of citizens now that this place looked completely out of a fairy tale for many, the tool of summoning that Ainz had creased was truly incredible.
Now, Chaos had decided to accumulate high quality materials for his own amusement, as he wanted to go into the greater gacha depths and try to summon super rare high ranked Summons.
However, this was planned for a later date, as Chaos was doing many things through this week, without wasting a single second.
He had also gone into more dates with the lovely Abyss, and their bond had deepened since the last fight, where she had helped a whole lot through it all.
Chaos was slowly opening up some more, but only a week was clearly not enough for him to completely change into a more emotional person, but Abyss could admit that he had become more gentle and also more caring and attentive, despite his expressionless face.
Erebus had developed Chaos sense of paternity rather well, the young and even more unexperienced than him Dungeon Dragon was developing at a slow pace, despite having the ability to talk eloquently now, he was still but a toddler, even a baby, in simple terms. And Chaos and Abyss were taking the responsibility of teaching him.
Abyss was happy to see Chaos develop more of his emotions and desires with her and Erebus, as she was now working below the bright and beautiful sun with him and Erebus, all three wearing farmer clothes.
What were they doing? Well, they were piercing the ground using pickaxes and shovels and throwing seeds enhanced with magic into the ground, they had just made a new field and they were expanding it by planting more vegetables of all kinds.
Despite the monstrous being that Chaos was, he was leisurely working into his farm, enjoying the little moments of life which were what made it worth living for. He also liked to fight and experience challenges, but he had begun to incorporate a large part of his daily life into spending it doing these activities and more…
“The sun is quite nice today.” Said Chaos, smiling lightly.
