Chapter 446: Satisfactory Victory
Chaos plan was rather simple, he had decided to devour Valen from the inside out. However, because this plan had the big flaw of Valen not being an idiot, he would had been found out either way by him. Valen was incredibly sharp and smart, and this was why Chaos was sure that he would realize that Chaos was inside his body and soul sooner if he wasn't being distracted by Chaos' allies.
This was why it was very important to not only disrupt his movements, but also his thoughts, this was why he was constantly attacked and without being given any chance to think about anything else than that. Like this, Chaos was able to slowly get through his defenses, and when things finally reached their climax… he finally managed to devour all of Valen's soul and his entire body became his.
Valen's thoughts and memories quickly rushed inside of Chaos mind, as he had completely devoured his soul, which carried memories, Chaos learned a few things. He remember not having been able to do this before, but it seems he had unlocked the ability to steal the memories of whatever he devoured.
With that, he learned a lot of things. He learned about the family of the Vampires dominating the Galaxy of Nyx, which was governed by the father of Valen, the Supreme Deity of Blood, a powerful being in equal strength if not higher than the Supreme Deity of Brightness, which were all her allies as well. Apparently, Valen had several siblings, but only one of them was a real threat as of now, his older brother Jakob, of the same Realm as him, a Great God, who was coming to this planet at any time now.
Chaos also learned about the schemes of the Vampires in this Galaxy, as they wanted to monopolize all planets for their own benefit while the Supreme Deity of Brightness was like the one selling off the planets, without even consulting with the natives. But above all, he was a fugitive, and the Vampires were seeking him.
…Alongside the Dragons.
Although Valen didn't knew everything in the world, he did knew about the Dragon Family that governed this Galaxy, the father of such a family was the Dragon King, or named the Supreme Deity of Pride, a powerful and prideful dragon said to be able to devour entire worlds.
There were rumors that the Dragon Family had already reached this Star System, and was already searching for Chaos alongside the Gods that served the Supreme Deity of Brightness, while the Vampires, that served the Supreme Deity of Blood were also looking around while working on their own things.
Although there was an alliance between these three parties, Dragons seemed freer and wilder in nature, being more like divine beasts that traveled across space without using any sort of sophisticated magic spaceships, hunting monsters to devour and grow stronger, and occasionally conquering unexplored planets or moons while seeking anything strong enough to fight them to grow stronger, they lived like free warriors that sought challenges to grow stronger, the stronger they were the higher in the hierarchy of their family they were.
Meanwhile, although Vampires highly valuated strength, they also valued intelligence, sophistication, and a scheming mind, they valued riches as well, and monetary value was important in their family, all these things combined helped them climb the hierarchy in their families, therefore, when a Vampire reached their age of maturity, they were often made into Lords or Dukes, and given a small planet or moon to take care of, given some small capital by their father, they're told to make of it as much money as they can to maintain themselves and generate profits for the entire family.
Those that fail after a certain amount of time are deemed as failures, and their belongings are taken away by older siblings whose their father deem worthier of their riches, while leaving the losers to either live in their home as servants, become teachers of younglings, or in most cases, turn into mercenaries, vagabonds, or more… If they fail, it is often very hard for them to resurge with no money at all, and they're discriminated by their own family too.
In just these few seconds where Chaos absorbed this knowledge, he learned many things and the distinct traditions of Vampires. He realized one thing, Vampires were often quite greedy and cared about little details, although they were strong, they had many things to manage and take care of, and therefore, they often left the work to subordinates while they governed and took care of their domain, they would probably not chase him down as much.
Meanwhile, Dragons were different, they were powerful, even more wild, and ruthless than Vampires, and enjoyed chasing down prey and fighting against powerful foes that could bring a challenge to their lives, as they believed that this was the way they could grow stronger and climb their family's ranks.
Therefore, he had to fully expect several dragons to begin chasing him down, and he might end up fighting a big group very soon, as they were already moving towards his direction, apparently they had been tracking down his movements for a long time and they had predicted he might be close to Amphibi, alongiside the dragons, there were the gods from the Supreme Deity of Brightness moving closer to him.
Chaos had no time to slack off, even though he had just defeated a powerful foe. All of this was in the near future… Because Jakob, Valen's older brother had already reached the planet, and was just a few minutes from descending into the planet's surface.
"Everyone, let's go inside my divine realm, quickly." Said Chaos, without saying other words, everyone knew that the threats were not stopping even now, he opened a portal to his divine realm and let everyone go inside, all while he looked into the skies, an enormous fleet of Vampires was slowly approaching… Chaos entered his own divine realm afterwards, quickly refuging in the time dilated space to plan his next move.
