Chapter 451 – Preparations
—–
Chaos knew that it was quite dangerous to leave the Saphibians on their own after what had happened, especially because there could be foes that would chase him down in the very near future and might find traces of him nearby… However, it wasn't as if he didn't had a plan, although it was a very rough plan, what he wanted to do was simply get rid of any menace that could threaten that planet before they could even get there.
Thanks to Valen and Jakob's memories, he learned a couple of interesting things. Most of the routes that moved towards this planet were all blocked by enormous amounts of floating asteroids, making it increasingly difficult for anyone to reach the planet, this is why the had to often take a straight route from the front of the planet… And this route was currently being taken by Chaos and company.
The powerful little Rust had evolved and become stronger after devouring a lot of items, scraps, and even entire spaceships, and had acquired the ability to shapeshift into an enormous silver-colored spaceship to carry everyone inside. As it was stated previously by Chaos, it is not possible to travel through space faster than a spaceship most of the time, even moving the divine realm through space was a slow process.
However, spaceships expensive enough to be faster than gods were not owned by everybody, so the gods that had come to slay Chaos back then in the planet of Ginnungagap simply didn't had the funds to afford such an expensive piece of space traveling vehicle.
Chaos wasn't going to slack off, his next goal was the planet closest to the Orion Star, Aura, where the Supreme Deity of Brightness is rumored to inhabit. This planet is being governed by her Empire as well, and it possess an enormous and terrifying army of gods.
Of course, before even reaching that area of the Star System, they'll have to go through another area, a dangerous place covered by the rest of intergalactic wars hundreds of years ago, a place named "Scrap Zone", a place where an endless amount of debris and garbage orbits a small jungle planet that is said to be the hideout of the Mindflayers and their Elder Brain.
"The Scrap Zone… Sounds like a tasty place to be!" Said Rust, as he spoke through the entirety of the spaceship.
"What is this place, my lord? Do you have more info from what you got from the memories of the vampires?" Wondered Belphegor.
Chaos as of now was holding a small meeting with some of his subordinates. Not everyone was in here, as some of them were inside their divine realms training to grow stronger and cultivating their cosmic energies.
"From what I know, this is a dangerous place where space pirates inhabit the most, they take out scraps and find things that could be of any value." Said Chaos. "But there's more, there are giant Divine Beasts in the shape of whales known as Scrap Eaters, that seem to be a threat to most of the people trying to live in these areas of outer space…"
"I see! It seems that it is quite interesting, although we are in quite the hurry…" Sighed Abyss.
"Indeed, I had already sensed a large group of Gods moving to my way, they seem to have taken the tracks I purposedly left behind, my aura alone seems to have easily baited them." Said Chaos.
"Oho? So it is like you said, you want to use this area as the battlefield, isn't it?" Asked Abyss.
"Yeah, that's what we discussed while moving here, I don't want them to find any traces in Amphibi, so it was better to purposedly leave traces of ourselves through this road of outer space so they can follow us to the Scrap Zone." Said Chaos. "The ability of Jakob, [Vampiric Eye of Far Sight] seems especially useful to see things from very far away, and also to sense presences… At this point the Vampires already learned that Valen and Jakob had disappeared, and due to our traces, they immediately linked it to us, just as planned. They'll all come to us alongside a big group of dragons led by four powerful dragons… All of them are Great Gods."
"Four Great Gods…" Said Edward rather worriedly. "C-Can we even do it?"
"We'll do it. We might not be Great Gods ourselves, but Chaos is here to back us up, we have grown stronger ourselves as well, and our priority is to distract and separate the enemy, so Chaos can pick them up one by one with Abyss." Said Natalia. "Although with the new equipment we got from Rust Creation Abilities, I think we can put up some work if we do it together."
"Most of you are already almost reaching Great God Realm, so don't worry too much." Said Chaos. "Midbattle, all of you will become Great Gods and by then we can crush the remaining foes… However, there is something else I must do beforehand."
Chaos had already planned what to do and was luring all the foes chasing him down into a battlefield he had chosen, however, there was something else he wanted to do. After all, this area of the Star System had a small jungle-covered planetoid with a humid temperature.
He knew what was dwelling within it… Mindflayers.
This alien race has been nothing but a pain to deal with for Chaos, and now that he found the hideout of the family of Mindflayers formed by the Elder Brain in this small planetoid, he wanted to slay them and rescue the many slaves they held captive in such a planet.
"The small planetoid where the Mindflayers are, right?" Asked Belphegor. "So we are solving that problem first… Did the Mindflayers come to chase us down as well?"
"There is a small group that is trailing behind the gods, they don't seem to be in good terms but had yet to fight…"
