Chapter 146: Devouring Space Pirates
Chapter 146: Devouring Space Pirates
—–
After Natalia’s mother incident, Chaos had finally proclaimed the entire city here as his “vassal nation”, a part of an extension of his own Kingdom far away.
He had spent at least a week doing reparations with the help of his people around the city, he also held many meetings with the people and decided to create a small Dungeon in the city so the people could also get in here to hunt for prey.
He was already quite good at manipulation of mana thanks to the Mana Mastery Skill, and it cost a lot, but he was now able to create very small dungeons by himself of around 5 to 10 floors. If he were to spend his mana too much, the dungeon could be bigger, but it would go berserk like Erebus did when it was firstborn.
Also, this time, he created the dungeon using pure mana, so the monsters inside were not chaos-attribute but resembled large mammals, such as Horned Rabbits, Giant Rats, Crystal-Horned Deer, and Giant Bears, amongst other F-Rank to E-Rank monsters.
He was thankful for the help of Edward, and the other former slaves, which helped him in talking with the people and dealing with stuff he didn’t understand as much. After all his own Kingdom was made very freely and he barely held any speeches. His people simply obeyed and served him because he was their master, but with this new group of humans who were not originally summoned or tamed by him, different approaches needed to be used.
He had to act more like a leader, celebrating how he destroyed the malicious space pirates, which the people hated, and although some said that without them there wouldn’t be any resources or food anymore and everyone would starve to death, he responded to it by making the dungeon and letting the people hunt large amounts of these animals. He had also bought some species of chicken-like monsters, which could lay an egg every day, and also gigantic buffalo-like monsters that produced a rich and nutrient-filled milk. All of such monsters lived inside his Kingdom but he decided to spread here some of them.
He asked for the help of some of the Life Attribute Mages of his Kingdom, as they used their spells to enhance the reproduction speed of these monsters even more. In a few more weeks, they should be completely self-sufficient.
If that wasn’t enough, Chaos created a Teleportation Trap with the help of Erebus’s abilities as a Dungeon, which connected to his Kingdom.
Of course, to not let any hoodlum get inside, there was strict security in that “gate”, in fact, he had left two clones of himself there, alongside a few other beings such as skeletons to inspect each person that wanted to get inside the Chaos Kingdom.
Nonetheless, he had spent a good amount of time doing this and wanted his well-deserved break.
He went back home and the first thing he began to do while Abyss was cooking something yummy for him was devouring a pile of space pirate corpses he had kept saved inside his Inventory for the whole week, which he had forgotten to eat ever since he got them because he was honestly way too busy to have any thought about that.
And there was also another thing in this little snack before his girlfriend’s meal, an eye-shaped artifact containing a weird thing inside. It was like a piece of perpetual darkness which he had never seen before. He had asked every single person that could know something about this, but none knew, not even Belphegor when he checked his memories or the library.
It was a fragment of the Forbidden One, but who was this guy?
Well, Chaos was going to eat the artifact and find out later.
He didn’t want to take too long eating each corpse, especially because they looked pretty unappealing, they were all ugly pirates after all…
Some people in spaceships were sparred, however, all of those that had come here for different motives that were not directly involved with enslaving others or buying slaves, which were brainwashed into loyal servants and became citizens. He had to do it, they were rather aggressive otherwise, and letting them go would be too stupid. On his benevolence, he found that doing that to them was better than eating them because they still didn’t deserve to die… and well, they were still criminals, just not involved in the worst things.
Due to not wanting to chew their disgusting appearances, Chaos decided to get done with this quickly by expanding one of his arms into a large tube-shaped appendage with many teeth, which began to slurp every corpse incredibly quickly, crushing it and devouring them one by one. They have easily digested thanks to Chaos’ incredible stomach, and each and every single corpse was gone in seconds.
Ding!

…
He got an interesting assortment of new skills, they seemed quite simple, the Job Skills aid in the things these guys were proficient at, fighting, slaughtering innocents, enslaving, stealing, and more.
He wasn’t affected by any of them negatively, despite what the last two Abilities’ names were, they helped him in dealing with stuff that might sometimes seem hard to him, such as defining his own desires, or being more cunning, things he often lacked.
However, he didn’t felt they would help him now, and like any other skill, he deactivated any he found unnecessary.
“Now…”
The feast was not done as Chaos looked at the last item in the menu, the eye-shaped artifact.
A “Fragment of the Forbidden One” was right in the palm of his hand, he didn’t know what it was or for what it was, but the original owner got it from a trader, and he was told it could give unprecedented power…
He opened his mouth and swallowed it entirely.
A few seconds later, Chaos was shrouded in abyssal darkness…
