Chapter 352 – I Missed You
—–
For now, Abyss and Chaos continued to speak and hug each other for a bit, they began to talk about what they had done, and Chaos went into more detail about his fight with Valen, he also said that the others were easily defeated, but that he didn\'t knew if he had managed to kill them or not, but it seemed that it wasn\'t the case.
"I should had been more aggressive… It is my fault that they might have survived… I was just trying to be cautious while buying time for you to escape as far as possible… But maybe that\'s what provoked Valen to come," said Chaos.
"Don\'t blame yourself for it, you did what you could… I am just happy you\'re okay and with me now…" she said.
"Hm… Even then… Ah, I guess I shouldn\'t think about this for the moment… I am sorry for talking things that might worry you more." he said.
"No, don\'t worry… I am just happy to hear your voice… It had been a long journey without you, even if it were a few little days, they felt like an eternity." She said.
"Hm, it also felt like an eternity when I was away from you. That frog… it was a very ridiculous way to get pulled away from all of you…" sighed Chaos.
"Y-Yeah… But things are done now, it is better not to overthink it, right?" asked Abyss.
"Yes, you\'re right, I better not overthink it pointlessly at the end…" said Chaos.
"Though… What things did you see inside of that thing?" asked Abyss.
"Well…"
Chaos went into detail about what he did inside the stomach, how he rescued a tribe of ancient frog-kin, how he traveled across an ocean of stomach acid, fought giant parasitic worms, traveled across an ocean of blood inside a blood vessel, and then reached a strange area where there was a mysterious abandoned temple.
In this temple, there was sealed the evil that annoyed him this entire time in there… the Forbidden One\'s Ego, a powerful fragment of the Forbidden One who possessed a part of the Ego of the Forbidden One.
With an Ego came a personality, a nature, and it was vicious, with memories of his previous life, and a high amount of intelligence, he wasn\'t at all like the other amalgamation of fragments they had fought before in Ginnungagap, this one was way stronger.
"I-I see… It must have been hard on you and Aruliel… Is she okay? I am just happy that she was able to overcome the control that the Ego was trying to put on her due to the fragments fused with her… Maybe she could also become stronger using them now that she overpowered the Ego itself…" said Abyss.
"Yeah, I thought the same, and yes, she\'s fine, she\'s sleeping inside my Divine Realm…" said Chaos.
"I am glad she survived… What about Froggo and Dura?" asked Abyss.
"They\'re also okay, they\'re both resting as well, they helped more than I thought. And well… the three summons also helped at the end in your fight, while I wasn\'t even there… They knew I could summon them again indefinitely after dying, so they sacrificed themselves to win more time for you…" sighed Chaos.
"I know, I also saw the summons fighting… They\'re a brave trio, make sure to name them… all three of them deserve a name." said Abyss.
"Yes, maybe if they\'re named, they could evolve? I have not thought about it, but usually naming won\'t work like that when they\'re already strong…" said Chaos.
"You can give it a try later…" said Abyss.
"Yeah, I will… And well…" said Chaos.
Chaos quickly went into detail about what had happened just now and how he regained his powers. He told Abyss about the Universal Seed and then about the cosmic powers he acquired, his soul which was forcefully refilled with cosmic energy to regain its mass, the changes inside the divine realm, and his new powers.
"A-Amazing… So this entire world is in dire need of help? And she helped you recover… How nice of her… I guess we really own her…" sighed Abyss.
"Yeah… I was being realistic, so I was planning on escaping for now from the planet until I could grow stronger, but she said that she only has a few months left before irreparable damage begins to happen around her entire body…" said Chaos.
"Hmm… We need to act quickly then, but can we even grow strong enough in that little time window?" asked Abyss.
"To be honest, it is quite unlikely, but we have to do everything we can. She did said she would help us even in the fight, somehow… So there might be some more hope to rescue your friend as well as defeating Valen…" said Chaos.
"Ooh… Maybe… maybe there is really hope…" said Abyss.
"Yeah, you have to cheer up and think about it like that." Said Chaos.
Abyss smiled at Chaos as she felt relieved, he was really doing everything he could to cheer her up and find some happiness for her, she was having a hard time, but she was slowly reaching that point, and might slowly recover in the future, so she had to cheer up and get better with her own spirit.
"You really lived a long journey…" she said.
"But now tell me more about what you did…" said Chaos.
"Oh… okay… I will start since the moment you were swallowed with Aruliel, is that okay? I think it is fine to start there because it is the important turning point after all…" said Abyss.
"Go on." said Chaos.
Like that, Abyss began to explain to Chaos all the things that happened after he was swallowed, he grew more and more surprised over all the enemies they had to fight and the things they went through, such as being chased by the giant frog several times, and more…
At the end, Abyss ended crying to Chaos and apologizing that the spear he had gifted to her ended breaking into pieces…
"Don\'t worry, I met Achlys. She was still alive, but she decided to fuse with me to make me regain a bit of my power." said Chaos.
"Oh! T-That happened?!" asked Abyss.
"Yes… It was quite surprising…" said Chaos.
