Chapter 461: Trapped
Darkgale… Daniel… With the accumulated information from the Vampires and the Elder Brain, Chaos finally realized the true identities behind his original chimeric body, these two powerful Vampire and Dragon which he had been seeing through his memories, these two were the ones that created him through their corpses. His father stitched them together and added a soul which he had summoned from elsewhere, creating his son, Chaos.
Chaos learned the truth behind his previous two lives, perhaps. But he didn't really seemed to be so affected by it. He had already made up his mind, whatever he was before as Daniel or Darkgale… it did not matter. He would never recall all memories of them either as they were simply fragments of fragments, without having their entire bodies, it was futile to attempt to regain such identities.
But he still seemed to feel a bit better, now that he learned such truth to such detail, he felt quite complete as a being, perhaps knowing the past of what he was before seemed to make him more confident in what he had now become… and what he had built until now.
"I am not Darkgale nor Daniel, I am me, Chaos, the proud son of Ain, the Lich of the Outer Gods…" Thought Chaos to himself, perhaps to cheer himself up internally. "I will not let anyone that was once related to the past of those that had made me up interfere with my life… Even if they were friends or family… I don't care. If they desire to take me down, tear me apart and thrown me back to a graveyard… I will kill them."
Chaos had already made up his mind. He seemed unwavering, and without even thinking about anything else, as long as they didn't bothered him, he would not bother them either… but if they came here cashing him down, then he would simply do what he had been doing all this time to survive. Mercilessly kill and devour them.
…
Glacial and his two siblings flew across the Scrap Zone, with the other Dragon Gods and the Orion Star Gods behind them, they seemed to be maneuvering just fine around the many pieces of scrap, with no apparent difficulty. They followed the trails left behind by Chaos, which brought them near the planetoid where the Mindflayers were. Glacial and company had no idea this was the Mindflayer planet attacked by the false Jakob, which provoked the entire war between the Mindflayers and the Vampires though, so he simply flew towards there.
"There it is, that's the planet where the highest concentration of his energies are…" Said Glacial. "Let's go there and finish this for once… We'll avenge you, big brother, and we'll bring back your pieces, and punish the damned soul that has dared to use your body as his body…"
"Yeah, we'll smack him good, we'll extract his soul and then I can burn him all I want, right?" Asked Blazer while laughing maliciously.
"Yes, we'll make sure to torture him for all the things he had done." Said Glacial. "I won't forgive his soul… he'll die agonizingly… For brother…"
"Hmm… I have a bad feeling about this… Brothers, I think this is… We should go back." Said Atlas.
"What?! You're already chickening out, Atlas?! You're the biggest of the three and you're chickening out?!" Roared Blazer angrily, spitting fire from his large jaws.
"I am not chickening out! I just feel that there is something wrong going on in here! Can't I be more wary? You're way too aggressive today, Blazer!" Said Atlas.
"Why wouldn't I be aggressive when the damn bastard that got our brother's body is so damn near?! Do you think I can contain this fucking anger I have?! I just want to freaking kill him!" Roared Blazer. "Stop being such a chicken already!"
"Blazer, Atlas, stop discussing already… Atlas, we are not going back, if you want to go by yourself, you're free to do so." Said Glacial. Atlas fell silent as he tried to argue with Glacial but quickly stopped before even beginning.
"I won't leave you…" he sighed. "Let's go." Atlas gave up at the end, he would never leave his siblings behind, he was their wall, their defense and tank, someone that took the blows for them while Glacial fought from long distance with his ice and Blazer unleashed powerful physical attacks with his blazing body, they were a good trio that had fought countless and powerful challenges together.
However, Atlas was always someone with an enhanced sense, and he often was able to predict threats and dangers ahead of time, but now, even though he felt like they should prepare further, it was too late, his two siblings were not backing down.
"He's in that planet, perhaps he attacked the Mindflayers or is hiding there? Well, either way, we can't miss it, seems simply enough." Said Blazer.
"Let's go, Atlas." Said Glacial.
"Yeah…" Sighed Atlas, the trio of dragons flew into the planetoid, slowly getting closer and closer, without realizing that the gods behind them were disappearing one by one, slowly yet steadily, without the gods and dragon gods themselves realizing it.
Some sort of strange force was teleporting them away one by one, making them disappear without them even being able to say a single word… When the trio of Dragons reached the planetoid, they realized that it was… oddly small, way smaller! Hundreds of times smaller!
But there was somehow an illusion veil that made them believe it was incredibly huge from far away. Glacial, Blazer, and Atlas looked into the planet, which was about five kilometers big speechlessly.
"W-What is the meaning of this?! This planet is more like an asteroid, and these jungles are so small too! What the hell?!" Asked Blazer.
"Strange… this… is too strange! Brothers, I told you that this was weird, something is going on! Let's retreat- Ah!" Muttered Atlas, as Glacial looked behind them in silence.
All their troops were gone. And suddenly, their surroundings, which looked like outer space suddenly changed… Out of nowhere, they found themselves inside a dungeon.
