Divinity: Against the Godly System

Chapter 607: Seal

As for the center of that earthquake, it was where Chaos was standing. Seeing that, Lord of Space felt like it was true. Chaos was actually standing there. He wasn't a fake illusion.

Then why wasn't he getting hurt? How was he able to escape these attacks without actually moving? Many questions remained in the heads of the Lord of Space.

"Time is trickling away. Thirty seconds are already over," Chaos reminded the Lord of Space, sighing.

"Fine! I'll do it personally," the Lord of Space let out as he moved. His figure flickered as he appeared right in front of Chaos.

He was expecting Chaos to defend himself now that he was actually attacked, but despite all that, Chaos didn't move.

He didn't even try to block the attack, which had the potential to kill anyone. The Lord of Space was stunned. Was this guy actually underestimating his Sword?

He didn't stop attacking as he thrust his Sword inside the chest of Chaos.

The Space Sword passed through Chaos's chest before being pulled out. But the Lord of Space realized something. There was no resistance to his sword. There was no blood either, it seemed.

He pulled out his sword to find no wound on Chaos's body.

For some reason, his sword didn't hurt him in the least.

"One minute left," Chaos commented, unfazed.

The Lord of Space was stunned at the strange event that was happening, but he didn't stop. He kept attacking.

Within the next thirty seconds, he had attacked a thousand times at least. He used all the attacks he could, and all from such close range. But none of the attacks harmed Chaos.

"Thirty seconds left..." Chaos said softly.

"How is this possible?" Lord of Space asked. "Answer me this instant! Why aren't any of my attacks hurting you? What have you done?!"

"What have I done? I don't think I did anything yet. I haven't even moved," Chaos shrugged.

"You know what I'm talking about! Answer me!" Lord of Space raged, not understanding what was happening. Sometimes he even felt like he was dreaming.

" In short, you can't do anything against me. No attack of yours can harm me. On the other hand, all of my attacks will harm you. I am asking one more time. Surrender and let me seal you. Because what you're facing is inevitable death otherwise. And you can't even fight back," Chaos said one more time, still giving Lord of Space a chance.

" Because you can't call for help. You can't hurt me. And you can't leave my domain to escape either. The only choices before you are to surrender or die," he further added, sighing.

The Lord of Space didn't respond and kept his silence. He looked towards the sky, trying to see if he had any other options at the moment. But there seemed to be none. Chaos was right. It was a battle that was already lost.

If he couldn't harm Chaos, then it was pointless even to fight. It was no less than sacrificing himself for no cause at all.

"Have you decided?" Chaos asked again. "Because your two minutes are already over. I'll start attacking now, and I think you wouldn't like that at all."

"Fine. I'll accept it. I accept to be sealed, and I won't resist," the Lord of Space ultimately said as he sighed. "I have one condition though."

"What condition?" Chaos asked.

"That you'll never hurt my son. No matter what your plan may be, you'll make sure that he doesn't get hurt in it!" Lord of Space said, telling Chaos his only condition.

He didn't realize that his son was already dead, killed by Ryder.

"Alright. I promise I won't hurt your son in the future," Chaos agreed. It wasn't a hard thing to promise. In any case, he couldn't hurt someone who was already dead.

Sighing, the Lord of Space agreed. "You can seal me then."

"Good decision," Chaos said as he waved his hand, sending the Moon Scythe back. As his hand was freed, he placed it on the forehead of the Lord of Space.

"Will I ever be let out?" Lord of Space inquired.

"Maybe..." That's the only answer Chaos gave.

The only way to seal a god was to actually make him surrender and stop resisting. As long as there was even the slightest of resistance, the sealing was never going to work. Fortunately, Chaos had convinced the Lord of Space to stop resisting.

As Chaos started the process, the body of the Lord of Space started shining in bright light. Soon, it turned into specks of light, which shrank together to form a small pearl.

Chaos grabbed the pearl and looked at it. The semi-transparent pearl looked like a precious gem, but it was more precious than anyone could imagine. It contained a god that was sealed inside.

Chaos clenched his fist and opened it again, but the pearl wasn't there anymore.

"Sleep for an eternity," he muttered as he shook his head.

As the Lord of Space was gone, the Space barrier around Chaos also disappeared. Janus was finally able to get in.

"Did you kill him already?" He asked Chaos as he didn't find him there.

"He's sealed," Chaos answered as he started walking back.

"Now that you're fully back, what's the next plan?" Janus asked, following Chaos.

"Getting the other fragments. I will complete the bracelet of immortality and then... It'll be the time," Chaos answered, shaking his head.

"That should be easy. You made those fragments. If anyone could find them, it should be you," Janus let out, smiling.

"Yeah, but even for me, it'll take quite some time. Too bad I can't take any time now. An envoy is here from Heaven. He will soon inform them that all their sons are dead."

"Fortunately, I stopped all the communications. But even if I kill him, the gods will be suspicious when he doesn't return. In any case, we have no time now. I wanted to find all the fragments before reaching this far, albeit things progressed faster than even I had expected," Chaos said, shaking his head.

"This is going to get really chaotic," he further said as he disappeared.

Chaos appeared behind the envoy that was sent from the Heaven to meet the god-sons.

The Envoy noticed had finished searching Aluren's place, and he was just about to leave when he saw a person appear before him.

"Y-you!"

Seeing the person that had appeared, the envoy was taken aback. He stepped back in fear but fell to the ground.

"Why are you so scared of me?" Chaos asked, smirking. "I am not that bad. I'll give you a quick death. No need to worry."

He raised his hand towards the Envoy and clenched his fist. At the same time his fist clenched, the Envoy disappeared. All that was left behind was a drop of blood floating in the air.

Chaos owned his fist and clenched it again, destroying that drop of blood as well.

Janus also appeared behind him now.

"The gods would soon come looking themselves," Janus commented.

"Of course they will come," Chaos answered softly. "But we still have some time."

"Shall we start searching?" Janus inquired, frowning.

"Yeah. But first I have to do something else. There is someone who helped me a lot. But if I stay here, he'll forever disappear. Even though he's me as well, I don't want him to disappear," Chaos said, glancing at the sky after teleporting on the roof of this place.

"You mean Ryder?" Janus inquired.

"That's right. Even though indirectly, he was really useful in my return. And I want to help him in truth. I don't want him to disappear forever," Chaos responded.

"What can you even do?" Janus asked, frowning.

"I need the Origin Fragment to do what I want to do. You'll know what I do after that," Chaos answered as he smiled.

"Origin Fragment? Don't tell me you want to..."

"I think you already understand. Not bad at all," Chaos smirked.

"Not at all! That's too dangerous! It's not the time! You just returned!" Janus let out hastily.

"What isn't dangerous in this world? From going out to staying in the house, everything is dangerous on its own. As for the dangers you're talking about, I understand your concerns. But you don't have to worry about it," Chaos replied, shaking his head.
