Chapter 278: Confrontation
—–
Chaos continued seeing this dream or memories, as he saw a large chunk of such fragments slowly sticking together with one another as they fell over a planet that looked like Amphibi, but of more ancient times, when its oceans were blue and salty…
BOOOOMMM!!!
The massive chunk of fragments of the Forbidden One hit the planet like a massive meteor of pure darkness and miasma, spreading across the entirety of the planet and shaking it!
A gigantic hole was left in the middle of the oceans, sucking all the water there and greatly altering the entire structure of the planet.
The massive contamination spread out across the entirety of the planet, making the skies dark.
The land was infected by deadly miasma, eating away all life.
Titans that once roamed this world were no more, and only a single one, a young and abandoned titan was left, looking at the destroyed world left behind…
“…”
Chaos was left speechless as he looked at things occur, everything was connecting, from the very beginning to the present.
He realized this titan frog was the giant frog that swallowed him.
It was the last of its kind…
However, although the fragments were left weakened, they didn’t stopped moving.
They quickly began crawling around the surface of the planet after around a hundred or two hundred years, moving and spreading like the plague into big chunks, devouring any life they could find and growing bigger and more monstrous, like enormous chimeric beings.
The titan frog always had to escape from them, and she was chased several times by these gigantic monsters made out of the fragments of the Forbidden One.
“Devour life… regain strength… reform… unify… fuse…”
The voice of a monstrous and grotesque being resonated across Chaos ears as he heard them coming from around him, as if these fragments were speaking as they spread.
They had been defeated but their purpose remained! To regain strength, merge together again, and become whole.
However, although it tried to devour everything in this world, the titan that was left as the sole protector of this planet wasn’t giving up either.
It trained diligently over many years, defeating smaller beasts over hundreds of not thousands of years… it grew stronger and evolved.
Until one day, the fragments were met with something called karma.
The last of the kind they made go extinct came back to defeat them.
The gigantic frog battled with all her strength, putting her life on the line in every battle.
And with another person, a beautiful Saphibian woman wearing white clothes and resembling a priestess, the two defeated and sealed the monstrous beings inside several temples, four to be exact.
The priestess with the frog was a special woman that Chaos had never seen before, she looked as weak as a mortal, not stronger than S-Rank, but with a mystical power dwelling within her that made her even stronger than Gods. It was as if a powerful divine being, or many, were harbored inside of her body.
Using her powers, she created dungeons, this temple where Chaos had entered, and she put the defeated and weakened fragments she sealed in place, deep into each temple.
After the four temples were made, and submerged below the oceans, things finally stabilized.
The world slowly began to regrow and became a beautiful swamp planet, a paradise for amphibian, freshwater fish, and bugs of all kinds.
The Saphibians spread wide around this planet, all descendants of this priestess, the only one that was able to tame and speak with the titanic frog…
“…”
Chaos looked as the projection then went back to this very temple as a sudden chaos had emerged, a massive catastrophe occurred when the giant frog had her egg stolen by stupid frog-kin, the temple which was right below this civilization was swallowed alongside most of its buildings…
And like that, this temple ended falling into the frog’s stomach and then fell through its bloodstream for some reason, falling over this empty space, and slowly being infected with the blood and bones…
“Hmm. I see, so that’s it. And you’re showing me this information while trying to hijack my mind? It won’t work. I already noticed you, Forbidden One.” Said Chaos.
“Guh?! How?!”
Suddenly, the entirety of the dream dissipated as the darkness remained, a massive figure emerged before Chaos, as he looked up to it with his flashing crimson-red eyes.
“It was not hard to realize you were here. Is within your fragments the ability to create dreams based in your memories? I’ve heard that dreams are capable of slowly consuming souls. Was this your intention?” asked Chaos coldly.
“H-How come you realized this…?! You’re a mere puny ant!” said the Forbidden One.
“I appreciate your help in letting me learn more. Now, I will make sure to put you out of your misery and devour you.” Said Chaos.
“D-Devour me? Is this how my other fragments within you… simply don’t respond to my calling?! What have you done to my body?! How dare you actually do such a thing? Do you think my body is your property now?! I am the Real Forbidden One and I will-“
“Less talk, more action.” Said Chaos.
F L A A A A AS S S S S H!
Chaos suddenly unleashed a massive aura of blood all around him, expanding it as the crimson smoke dissipated and devoured the darkness!
Out of nowhere the entire room was finally shown, and Chaos found Dura and Aruliel sitting in the ground, their souls seemed weakened, they had entered the dream and had begun to fall for its soul-devouring effect.
“Remain behind me, we’ll deal with this together.” Said Chaos, he pointed his finger at the monstrous being in front of him, an amorphous, mildly humanoid-shaped entity made of countless pieces that seemed to come out of different creatures, yet were the same being…
“How… dare you…! I will get my fragments back from you two, vermin!” roared the Forbidden One.
