Chapter 440 – The Rules Of The Family
—–
Some minutes ago, just when Valen sent his four Gods to fight against the invaders which he deemed too weak to bother with, he suddenly was contacted by someone he knew very well through one of his Artifacts.
The spherical crystal ball resonated with a bright light, as he couldn\'t help but touch it and infuse some Mana so the artifact could show him who was calling, but due to the intensity of the call, he could already tell who it was.
FLASH!
A magical hologram emerged before his sight, as Valen saw the figure of a man, slightly older looking than him, with short whit hair and red eyes, wearing black clothes similar to his as well. He seemed like an older version of him.
"Older brother Jacob, what a surprise…" Said Valen, pretending to be calm and acting cool with his older brother, who looked down on him from within the hologram.
"Valen, our father has told me that I was designed to check on your planet. I am already moving there through my fleet. He expects you to have already tamed the natives and that you\'re already producing a stable income." Said Jacob, he seemed to be of higher authority than his younger brother Valen.
Valen smiled nervously, as he had yet to tame every native and his income was barely stable, also, he might have no idea, but the planet was dying already as he was extracting the energy too aggressively and not in the way experts did, all of this due to his lack of experience. His planet was destined to die in a few weeks if things went as they were now.
However, the bigger problem at hand were the invaders, Chaos and company, who were constantly pestering him and his plans. Although he had slain Chaos, he was not able to find anything of value out of him other than the Chaotic Jewel he stole from him while he was still alive, which he had yet to even sell for some money or investigate properly.
Although communicating to his family that he had slain the chimera that used the corpses of his family and of the dragon family could have gained him a lot of renown and money from his family as a compensation, without any proper evidence other than a jewel, nobody was going to believe him… So, ultimately, he decided to keep this a secret.
He didn\'t knew at all that Chaos had not died, and that he had in fact been reborn even stronger than before. He didn\'t knew a single thing and yet was already assuming he was dead and that his companions came to die in vain.
"Yes, brother… I-I\'ll prepare everything…!" Said Valen. "W-When are you coming?"
"In about two hours, I am already seeing your planet from the distance." Said Jakob.
"T-Two hours?!" Asked Valen in shock. "Why didn\'t you informed me of this earlier?!"
"What? Aren\'t you prepared then?" Asked Jakob, as a wicked smile emerged on his lips. "It seems my younger brother is too unexperienced yet… I guess I\'ll have to take over your planet so it doesn\'t fall apart if you\'re not ready."
"W-Wait! Don\'t say that… I have worked hard for what I got!" Said Valen.
"Those are the rules of the family, little Valen." Said his brother. "If your planet is in not proper conditions, I fear I will have to do the pain of taking care of it. Don\'t worry, you can go back home to prepare better whenever you\'re assigned a planet again…. Though, I doubt they\'ll give another planet to someone that doesn\'t seem prepared for the responsibility."
"Y-You…! I-I will show you that everything is doing alright… So Jakob, don\'t be too hasty with your decisions!" Said Valen.
"Sure, we\'ll see how everything happens, dear brother." Said Jakob, as his call was quickly shut down.
Valen gasped for air as he sighed in relief, sitting over his throne. He was so strong yet… his older brother put so much pressure over him.
"D-Damn it everything…! They better beat up that trash soon!" Said Valen, walking away from his throne and jumping into the ceiling of the building, looking down into the city.
In these few minutes that it took him to talk with his brother, chaos unfolded. Two of his servants were defeated, and the city below was being destroyed, his eyes opened wide in surprise, as he shrouded himself with blood divine aura and was about to act…!
"Y-You useless pieces of trash!" Valen roared angrily, as he was about to act, but suddenly, he was stopped!
He felt something.
He looked down into the building once more, his entire face was suddenly shrouded with cold sweat…
"W-What…?!"
He not only felt the presence of Abyss down there, but also the presence of Chaos, their presences were not faint at all, and were immensely big, even more as they were merged with the presence of cosmic energy, a power that Valen had yet to even be able to use himself.
"What sort of joke is this…?!" He muttered to himself, incapable of being able to believe what he was sensing. The power of Chaos, the one he had slain with his hands was back, and even stronger than ever before.
"He revived?! No… that\'s impossible, I even destroyed his soul! There shouldn\'t be anything of him left… How… HOW?!" Valen roared angrily, feeling the immense threat that Chaos and Abyss combined auras created, he couldn\'t help but grow more and more insane and nervous, especially with his older brother approaching.
If he didn\'t resolved whatever was happening right now, everything would end and his future as a Vampire Noble would be torn apart by his older brother. He was being pushed to use his strength, but if he went outside, he would be ignoring whatever aura down there was, which was oddly way too much like that of Chaos!
"I have to resolve this problem with my two hands…!" Valen quickly flew back inside the large tower, seeking Chaos.
