Chapter 823 Frightened Celestials
Chapter 823 Frightened Celestials
After mastering both void and darkness Max could now view his surroundings with an astounding clarity. 𝚋𝚎ｄ𝚗ｏｖ𝚎𝚕．ｃｏ𝚖
No longer did he feel overwhelmed with the strong energies of the realm of Chaotic Energies and no longer did his senses feel like they were in overdrive.
He could clearly segregate darkness and void from the environment as he was left with pure unadulterated chaos energy to study.
Chaos was an interesting element.
As per both the primal god of war and Angakok, Chaos was the one element nobody could master when attempting the tier promotion test.
To clear the tier7 trial, one needed to master only one element while have a passable understanding of the other and hence 9/10 challengers attempting the promotion test either mastered Darkness or Void and learnt a passable understanding of the other.
Rarely did anyone ever attempt to understand Chaos and there was next to none who managed to succeed in mastering it.
As the name suggested, ‘ Chaos ‘ was an energy that was erratic, irrational and unpredictable.
It was labelled as the ‘ Strongest ‘ amongst the ultimate elements and as per Junfred, the Seed Of Chaos was the strongest treasure of the universe.
As per Junfred amongst all seven tier10 seeds namely- the seed of time, seed of darkness, seed of knowledge, seed of space, seed of life and seed of power the seed of chaos was the strongest and had the strength to suppress all six others alone.
For him, who had been bewitched by the seed of time and had lost close to 5000 years of his life to it’s illusions the seed of chaos was an unimaginable enigma that was not to be trifled with, yet somehow Max had a feeling that his brother was in the possession of that very seed of chaos.
Although there were tier9 seeds in the universe as well like seed of reincarnation, seed of gravity, seed of agriculture and many more, all these seeds could be considered similar in strength to a Divine Astra such as the Agni-Astra, Vayu-Astra or Indra-Astra although the purpose of having an Astra was as a support weapon in combat and the purpose of a seed was much more profound.
There were some who theorised that there were 10 tier 10 seeds in the universe and 10 tier 9 seeds, however, only 7 tier 10 seeds and 8 tier 7 seeds had been recorded in the history of the universe so far.
If there were more, Junfred had no idea as to what they were or who was in the possession of them, however what he did know was that the Seed of Chaos was the strongest amongst all the known seeds in the universe-
The reason behind the seed of chaos being the strongest in the universe was also equally interesting-
Although Junfred did not understand the element completely at the time he wrote his notes, he had only one line to describe chaos energy saying that it had the power to ‘ Alter Reality ‘.
As Max separated darkness and void from the surroundings and began focusing on Chaos, he felt the enormity of all the knowledge he possessed about the element stifling him.
He had some foundation to understand darkness and void which made his journey to this point significantly easy, however, the real trial started now as from here on out he was really on his own.

( Meanwhile in the celestial realm )
” Junfred, do you think the boy can master chaos? ” Enel asked with a deep frown on his face.
” We can only hope that he does Enel, if he doesn’t then that’s the end of the road for him ” Junfred the primal god of war replied
” I fear his growth Junfred, I understand that we might need another monster like the Perfect Warrior to defeat him, however, his path is like the Perfect Warrior’s to an impeccable detail, no, it’s even better since he’s born with your bloodline- ” Enel said as he sucked in a breath of cold air.
The duo of Enel and Junfred were initially bitter rivals, however, they had gradually developed mutual respect and admiration for one another after suffering countless defeats side by side at the hands of the perfect warrior.
Today, the duo had indulged in an intense discussion about Max as him mastering darkness came as a great shock to them both.
Tier7 trial was not supposed to be a walk in the park. The speed and ease with which Max mastered void and darkness were unheard of.
He was almost enjoying the trial and using it as an opportunity to better his own understanding of the universe instead of feeling challenged by its profoundness.
Whether it were the celestials in the celestial realm who had given this same promotion test aeons ago or the monarchs and strongmen who still lived in the controlled universe, no-one had managed to progress so far so fast into the tier7 trial and it gave Junfred a sliver of hope that perhaps Max could master Chaos too.
While Junfred watched on in anticipation, Enel watched Max with a gnawing feeling in his heart as watching him progress so further into the path of the perfect warrior gave him eerie chills.
Max’s path was bound to make him the strongest celestial to ever ascend if he managed to see it through to tier9 and if he succeeded in such a feat he might be able to rival Enel from the very day that he ascended.
Such power frightened Enel, he knew he needed to rely on Max if he ever wanted to defeat the perfect warrior, however, he did not like the idea of relying on someone just like the perfect warrior to bring him down.
There was still a long journey for Max to go from here till reaching the peak of monarchood however his strength was now at a point where even the celestials could not ignore him completely and had to take notice.
Now if he could only master Chaos, he could be considered the most promising prospect to become a celestial since Junfred was promoted many thousand years ago.
