Chapter 242: A Way To Escape?
Chapter 242: A Way To Escape?
—–
Chaos learned the truth about how the frog-kin ended in this stomach and about how they could escape, there were three routes he could take.
Somehow find a way to dive down into the sea of gastric acids and reach the intestines, and get out through… well, the butt.
The other was through going upwards and piercing through the closed throat, and somehow managing to get out through the throat and the stomach… very much being puked out.
And the other was through going to these uncharted acidic seas, where giant worms dominate, find the passageway to the blood sea, and travel across the frog’s blood vessels, trying to find a way out of this place.
All of them seemed to have their own complexity, and had their own challenges… as of now no frog-kin could try them, they were too weak to even fathom such thoughts.
But Chaos who was as strong as a God, could try them. He had the strength to do so.
But first, before he were to even try them anymore, he wanted to make sure that the people here was fine, and if they wanted to join his Divine Realm, there were many areas in there that could be fitting for them to finally escape this hellish place. He was nice enough to offer such a thing.
“D-Divine realm?” asked Froggo.
“Divine Realm is a special space inside of my soul where people live and thrive, it is like the outside world… well, a bit.” said Chaos.
“A-Amazing…” said Froggo.
“But how exactly does this works?” asked Froggo’s father.
“I don’t get it either, what is it about? Can we see it?” asked Froggo’s mother.
“Yes you can, here.” Said Chaos, as he opened a portal to his divine realm, revealing to the people the amazing portal that led to his divine realm! They saw that the divine realm of Chaos was really there! The portal they could use to get out of here, was right in front of their frog faces!
The vast lands, the cold breeze, the moisture… everything! It was so utterly strange and soothing compared to the warm temperatures of this stomach 24/7…!
It was as if this place, this vast land of divine realm, was all made for them, specifically for them and only them! They wanted to go there, they wanted to explore there, and they wanted to live in there and thrive more than anyone else! They really wanted to go… they really wanted to do it.
But something stopped them, they felt concerned, worried, even. They felt this wasn’t somehow right, as if going there would be cheating for the rest of the people.
“Such a wondrous ability… but we have to decline, we cannot simply leave the people alone.”
“We have to fulfill our duty as the chiefs.”
“Wait, you’re the chief?!” asked Aruliel.
Indeed! It seemed that Froggo’s parents were in fact the freaking chiefs of this last frog kin village! Due to this, they felt the obligation of not selling his lands nor his people… he wanted to stay here with them, or move there with them! The two saw Chaos as some kind of God that offered them salvation only to them because they offered him hospitality, but the other people… what about them?
They had to do something to help them out! They couldn’t leave them behind, no matter what. This was the duty of the chief of this village! They had to serve their people faithfully and work for them just as faithfully as well! Without working for th eir people, what else did they had left over than their own selfish selves?
They had to work hard for the people which was what their ancestors had left them to take care of, they were the survivors of an an cient and glorious civilization of people, the frog-kin! They couldn’t simply leave them be alone and thrown away…
Froggo’s parents pondered this question, resisting the temptation of traveling and enjoying a new life in such per fect lands, they thought that Chaos wouldn’t let them easily get in there if they wanted either, perhaps this god had trials for them, challenges, or tests of some sort so they could show their worth to him in many ways before he was to let them have the glory and privilege of walking inside of his divine realm from all things.
The entire thing was just a privilege that they would only earn after working very hard for Chaos! But they couldn’t possibly do this as of now, they couldn’t…
The two chiefs looked at Chaos as they waved their heads reluctantly, they couldn’t possibly leave the people aside and do as they pleased, it simply felt wrong to do, to an extent.
“I am sorry but we can’t leave our people behind, if we ever get there, we can only do it if you let us bring them all…”
“But we know that you as a powerful god won’t be as benevolent, we have done what we could, and… we are grateful for your offer.”
“Indeed… but…”
“Huh? I was also going to bring them in. in fact, its nice that you’re the chiefs, so you can help me convince the people to get inside easily, right?” asked Chaos.
“EH?!”
“Huh?!”
The two were left shocked! They really thought Chaos would make them go through some trial or whatever… Chaos wasn’t like that! He was simply a very kind-hearted man… sometimes.
He didn’t thought about doing things only after trials, that was what someone weird would do, like a bored trickster god or whatever, but he wasn’t a trickster, he was more of a survivor, and he wanted to help others survive in these harsh lands if possible to bring them to the new world inside his divine realm…
“Then?” he asked.
“W-We accept then!” they said at the same time. Froggo’s parents couldn’t help but feel the happiest they had ever been.
