Chapter 335 - Achlys' Sacrifice
Chapter 335 – Achlys’ Sacrifice
—–
Within the depths of the swamp ocean of the planet of Amphibi, there was a red-colored spaceship resting on its floor. The area where it was located was the same it ended at the beginning of Chaos and everybody's journey in this planet.
There were many interesting things that happened, but this enormous, red-colored spaceship-shaped entity had been spending it all in here, doing nothing until it received an order from its master.
Suddenly, it received one.
TRUUUMM…!
It began to move.
Its entire body suddenly shapeshifted into an enormous being, which began to swim through the waters at a fast speed, trying to reach its master as fast as possible, it suddenly took a torpedo-like shape.
FLAAAASH!
SPLASH!
It suddenly jumped out of the water and began to float in midair, flying directly towards Chaos was.
In mere minutes, it reached his vicinity, as a lump of flesh, which was what remained of Chaos even after he had snacked into many monsters around, quickly emerged out of the water, opening a few crimson-red eyes over the lump of red flesh.
"Red Star, you're okay… I am glad. Although you should had helped everyone… You're a bit too lazy." Said Chaos.
"…"
The Red Star had somehow a consciousness, but it was still developing, and it had a very lazy nature at that, if it wasn't given orders, it didn't do anything… so it ended slumbering underwater for a while.
"Anyways, let's go where Abyss is… I can feel her a few hundred of kilometers from here, everyone seems safe, thankfully." Said Chaos, as he began to swim through the waters with the Red Star flying above him.
…
Meanwhile, far away, several metallic fragments made of black metal and other materials began to swim around.
When Abyss' weapon, her powerful spear Achlys, broke from attacking the giant frog mother, it didn't really died.
Weapons cannot easily die, although their durability will go down as they break, they can always be repaired, and as long as the soul inside is not destroyed, it can still be "alive".
Achlys had definitely weakened and shattered apart, but it had the power of self-repair, it could repair itself over time, but because Abyss thought it was gone, and at that time she was running away from the frog, she gave it for death and decided to continue moving on in her own.
But this spear had a consciousness and longed for Abyss and Chaos, so it kept slowly regenerating and swimming around. Its materials were dispersed across the ocean, but they slowly gathered together.
Although some of the fragments unified together into the weapon once more, although in a very broken and small condition, the other fragments which were too small, ended unifying with one another and formed larger and larger metallic pieces infused with fragments of Achlys soul.
They swam across the sea trying to find their owner and creator… until finally.
Chaos noticed something.
"Hm?"
He suddenly stopped swimming and so Red Star stopped flying.
He looked down into the water, as he felt something approaching.
SPLASH!
Suddenly, a half-growing spear emerged from the water.
It looked cracked and rather badly cracked, but it looked like it was slowly growing back its damaged parts…
"Achlys… so you got broken?" asked Chaos.
"…"
Achlys was an intelligent weapon but by no means capable of speaking. However, it understood Chaos and flew to his side.
"I guess I can repair you later…" said Chaos, as he touched Achlys with a tentacle…
SPLASH!
And then, several floating little black metallic pieces showed up as well, all flying towards Chaos.
"Huh? Achlys… had children?" asked Chaos in shock.
This was the first thing Chaos thought about… but suddenly, the little "children" flew towards him and simply… got stuck into his flesh.
"What?"
FLASH!
And then Achlys also shone brightly, and began to melt, fusing with Chaos.
"What?"
Chaos couldn't help but ask what was going on twice, but before he could realize, the broken weapon had decided to fuse with him as it saw him being weakened, and it could use some help.
As it had no other means to help, it simply decided to fuse with him…
Yes, it was quite far-fetched, but one should never expect any complex thoughts from living weapons.
Chaos was left surprised as the power of the broken weapon flowed through his body, boosting his strength beyond what he had originally thought a weapon could enhance him.
This weapon was crafted by him with a lot of attention to detail and spending a lot of time as well. It was made lovingly for Abyss, with many items and resources.
But now, it was sacrificing itself for him, so he could grow stronger and perhaps regain a bit more of his power… and well, Achlys soul was actually a fragment of Chaos' soul, so it could easily go back to him.
FLAAASH!
"Achlys… Thanks… I will hold into your desires of protecting Abyss to the end…" said Chaos, as he smiled a bit, his body suddenly shaped itself… to an unexpected shape!
"Huh?"
Ding!
[Your Existence Rank has increased from God Rank 6 to God Rank 7!]
[All your Stats have increased]
[You learned the following Skills]
[Weaponization]
[Black Chaos Steel]
[Abyssal Chaotic Destruction Blast]
"Huh…"
Chaos found himself having become a large black spear emanating a large quantity of darkness and red-colored aura from within.
It had a single crimson-red eye on it as well, and it emanated a large quantity of power.
This was part of his new Skill, Weaponization!
By fusing with Achlys, he acquired such a thing.
But what could this ability even do for him aside from becoming a spear?
He would have to find out in the future, but for now, it seemed pretty simple… but there was certainly an advantage in such a streamlined and sharp shape.
Chaos looked into his new form as he decided to fly using it, as a gigantic spear, it was very easy to travel around!
"Hm, being a weapon is not so bad for now…" thought Chaos.
