Chapter 464: An Unlikely Alliance Between Two Supreme Deities
The Supreme Deity of Brightness sat over her throne of gold as she looked into the many videos given to her, apparently she was told the Mindflayers revolted against the Vampires because one of the Vampires, reportedly Jakob, had attacked and slain the Elder Brain inhabiting a small Planetoid within the Scrap Zone.
"What is the meaning of this?" She muttered. "Did this low-ranked Vampire really did such a foolish thing?! And where is he?! Didn't he went to visit Valen in the planet of Amphibi? This… everything doesn't make any sense! I really don't understand."
"My Lady, it was reported by the Vampires that were coming with the trio of dragons that… it appears your troops and the dragons were slain by apparently… the chimera." Said a reporter, a god resembling an angel.
"WHAT?! Are you serious?! T-This can't be real! Those three dragons were GREAT GODS, you know?! It is impossible for the… Chimera to do that…" Said the Deity, as her sparkling eyes slowly began to lose their light, she began to feel an incredible feeling of dread encompassing her being.
"If the Dragons learn that three of their Great Gods died against the chimera, which is supposed to be MY responsibility… T-They'll come to punish me!" Cried the Deity. "No… It cannot be, after everything I've done, after how hard I've worked, all the things I've built until now… I cannot let it all end because of those stupid lizards! But how come this chimera is strong enough to kill Great Gods?! Ugh…!"
The Supreme Deity of Brightness seemed agitated, her insecurities got the better off her and she couldn't help but begin to tremble. Despite having been trying so hard to deal with the chimera for all this time, everything always ended badly, the chimera was way too powerful and profound and his powers were simply beyond her understanding.
Not only that but the dragons died, perhaps she didn't cared about her own gods, but the dragons were important members of the Dragon Family of this Star System, if they were to die, it meant a lot of things, the dragons might even blame it all on her.
If she's blamed, her things might be forcefully taken away from her, making her go through heavy loses in profit and all the resources she had built up until this moment. She was growing desperate…
And just then, a dozens of gods flew her way, interrupting her nervous thoughts as they reported something truly frightening.
"My lady, the presence of the chimera had suddenly intensified!"
"What?!"
"Apparently, the artifacts that detect chaotic energy had begun ringing alarms, the monster that wield chaos and is the chimera is getting closer to our planet!"
"And is power level… we can barely discern it, but it is surely way above Great Gods of Rank 1…"
"I-it can't be…" Said the Supreme Deity of Brightness, feeling rather shocked once more. She still couldn't believe that Chaos had become a Great God in such a short amount of time, and was already going to the point of turning into a high-ranking Great God at that!
"Prepare the troops… The Gods, send all my Great God Generals as well, we'll greet him with all our forces! I won't let him just come here however he pleases!" Roared the Supreme Deity of Brightness, growing desperate, the gods obeyed her, as they flew away and began to spread the word and her commands, the four Great God Generals she had were powerful and prestigious Paladins that serve her, often called the Four Cardinals, she had trust in their strength.
"You might have been able to defeat those mindless lizards… But my four Cardinals are in a completely different level, chimera!" Muttered the Supreme Deity of Brightness while biting her nails in anger and frustration.
And while she was thinking what to do, suddenly, she received a call, a divine message from a faraway Supreme Deity from another Star System near the Orion Star. She was surprised, thinking it could be the Supreme Deity of Blood or the Supreme Deity of Pride, the two representants of the Vampire and Dragon Families in this area of the Galaxy… but it was not, it was a different voice, the voice of a dignified man who has lived thousands of years, in fact!
"You are the Supreme Deity of Brightness, are you not? I am the Supreme Deity of Spirits, the all-father of the Spirit Elf Race…"
"W-What?!"
"Calm down, I have come to make some negotiations with you. You see, in your Star System, there is a half-blood I must exterminate. His power had already reached a level in which he can summon divine spirits…"
"Divine spirits… there is such an elf god in this star system?!"
"And it is the ally of the one you call a "chimera"… Now, I don't want to get involved in the disputes between Vampires and Dragons or whatever, I really don't care about them… However, that Elf must die. It is an insult for the bastard child of my sister to remain alive. Half-bloods are an insult to our lineage and our race… Would you be willing to give me a hand at defeating him? I will also aid you in defeating the chimera in exchange, as both our targets are working together."
"Ah… Oh, I see…" The Supreme Deity of Brightness smiled wickedly. "Sure thing, Supreme Deity of Spirits, please, by all means, you may come, we'll assist you as much as we can!"
"Excellent. I am glad you're a reasonable woman." Said the Supreme Deity of Spirits. "I've already learned that the chimera had grown stronger rather fast… But our combined forces should be more than enough to defeat him and him and his troops… After all, no matter how far they go, trash is always trash."
"I cannot help but agree with you, dear lord…" Said the Supreme Deity of Brightness. "Trash will always be trash, and they must learn their place as the trash they are…"
"Hm, it is delightful that we can think similarly. You and I might have a good relationship in the coming future, dear lady." Laughed the malicious elf.
After the battle against the gods and the dragons, Chaos group one more decided to take a small break while slowly moving towards their destination through Rust Spaceship Form. Inside of Chaos Divine Realm, most of his allies had gathered around a large table, discussing what was happening right now. Chaos was able to connect with the Telepathic Network of the Mindflayers Colonies, so he was able to learn a lot of info and intel from them without them even realizing he was spying on them.
With that information from what the Mindflayers had spied in the rest of the Galaxy, coupled with his Vampiric Eyes of Far Sight and other abilities, Chaos was able to learn a lot about what was happening around him and what was going to happen in the very near future.
Primarily, the Mindflayers seemed to be preparing for a big war, around a dozen Elder Brains had united in a crusade against the Vampires within this Star System and were all coming here. Alongside that, it seems that their Supreme Deity Leader was about to show up, a being they called Eldritch Brain, although it was also known as the Supreme Deity of Minds.
It was perhaps one of the oldest Elder Brains in this Galaxy, and after learning the Vampires were attacking his Colonies and annihilating them, he decided to step in. This monstrous god is an enormous mass composed of millions upon millions of Mindflayer brains, said to be the ultimate form of an Elder Brain who has reached their peak, his power over minds is tremendous to the point he had kept brainwashed the entire Star System where he inhabited.
And this was why the Vampires and Dragons back then had decided to make a treaty of neutrality and peace instead of continuing the war against these vicious species of aliens, they didn't knew how many sacrifices it would take to defeat the Supreme Deity of Minds, so at the end, the Supreme Deities controlling the families ended making a peace treaty to let each other live on their own ways.
An alliance was quickly formed between the Elite Families, and they started to make many deals to benefit from one another… Of course, at the expense of all the weak people across the Star Systems… But it is said that the Supreme Deity of Minds is an incredibly prideful and arrogant being, incapable of being able to resist his anger after learning that the Vampires mercilessly slaughtered an entire Colony, he moved forward from his planet, and decided to fight off the Vampires in this Star System where his colony was destroyed, at the same time aiming to conquer it.
Chaos felt surprised, everything escalated a lot, but all of this was beneficial to him at the end, if this Supreme Deity interfered with the war, not even the Supreme Deities of the Vampires and Dragons of these nearby Star Systems would be able to do much if they got a powerful being like this annoying them constantly, opening the opportunities for Chaos to slay them whenever he could reach their Realm, of course.
As his name implied, he was someone that thrived in chaos and confusion, the more there was, the more he could take advantage of…
"We have all grown quite stronger after slaying all those Gods, but now we have to go fight again… Ugh, Chaos-sama, please give us a break." Sighed Boxy.
"Boxy! Don't be such a slug, we have been resting for over a week inside our divine realms now…" Sighed Yuki.
"Sorry if this has been sudden and quite rushed… But as we get closer to our enemy, things will become even more catastrophic, we cannot slack off more than we had done, and even then, we have been only training and practicing our powers through the week… I promise you that after everything is over, we'll have a big break to calm down and relax." Said Chaos.
"Ugh… Thank you for your consideration, my lord." Said Boxy.
"Apparently, there seems to be something happening with the Supreme Deity of Brightness, she had finally sent the army towards us, we'll find them in a couple of days from now…" Said Chaos. "We must prepare for that inside our divine realms as much as possible… However, aside from this threat, there is something else."
"Something else than that annoying bitch?" Asked Abyss.
"Yes…" Said Chaos. "Apparently, Elves from a nearby Star System are joining her crusade, another Supreme Deity had showed up, namely the Supreme Deity of Spirits." Said Chaos as he seemed rather concerned himself, but he didn't had many options, he had to confront the army of these two supreme gods to grow even stronger and then finally confront their big boss, the Supreme Deity of Brightness, so he would be able to finally rescue the souls of his father and mother at long last.
"That's…" Edward, after hearing Chaos, seemed rather conflicted, he was quite worried as well, as if something bad was happening.
"Edward? Is something the matter?" Asked Chaos.
"…Yes, I know those elves… Or well, I don't, I have not meet them personally, but my mother knows them…" Sighed Edward. "I learned this just recently, the cosmic energy awakened my lineage, and within my bloodline, mother had used the powers of elves to put a message to me, whenever I were to awaken my bloodline powers to summon divine spirits…"
"Message?" Asked everyone in surprise, as they looked at Edward, the Elf that has been accompanying them through their journey all this time with intrigue.
"Yes… this is the story of the family I belong to…" Sighed Edward. "The High Spirit Elves, the strongest Elves…" Edward said with contempt in each of his words. "You see, the Spirit Elves have a very strict religion and beliefs, they believe they're the chosen ones. The cleanliest, purest, and holiest of all other elves. They abused the power over spirits they had to dominate all other elves, and become the biggest tribe after thousands of years of wars against them…"
