Chaos shouted.
There was no pressure like before. It was barely the size of a wolf, but even that seemed to be getting smaller as the seconds passed, as if it wasn’t easy to maintain.
While Jin was choosing his words, more awls flew. Thanks to a short gap, Jin was able to parry them again, but it was impossible to keep fighting in a tired state.
’Thinking about it, Chaos always had a chance to kill me in the last fights.’
There were too many oddities to consider it just luck.
However, Jin could not be sure that chaos would not “kill” him.
Only now, the fact was clearly revealed as it stopped the awl at the crucial moment, but there were more than once or twice when Jin was driven to the brink of death.
’I’d better go out first.’
Jin never know when chaos will change its mind.
Jin used the last remaining shadow force to open a rift towards Laprarosa. Jin looked back before stepping out at Chaos who was roaring in an unstable state.
“Oh, you came out so fast this time?”
“Brother Jin, did you finally beat it!?”
“I can’t say I won yet. I used the ultimate technique of shadow sword to weaken it and regain my strength.”
“Come to think of it, I can feel traces of strong energy from Brother Jin again…Congratulation!”
“Besides, you say it’s weakened, so the next battle is last! I’ll have to prepare a banquet soon.”
While the siblings were excitedly shouting, Jin felt uncomfortable for some reason.
’The victory that I so longed for is right around the corner, but why do I feel so bad.’
As Vahn approached, Jin explained the situation he had been through inside.
“…… Seeing the awl stop at the end made me think it couldn’t kill me. I thought it might be like that before, but...… did sister battle god know something?”
“Rather than the expression ‘can’t kill’, it would be closer to ‘it doesn’t’.”
At Vahn’s words, the Plutonian tribesmen tilted their heads.
“It does not kill me?”
"Yes."
“Please elaborate.”
“When Brother Jin first visited its subspace, chaos’s inner thoughts was also conveyed to me.”
Vahn’s gaze reached Jin’s illuminating heart. Until now, they can use the battle god fusion if the two were together within 500m of the chaos door.
Battle god fusion is a kind of resonance, and the medium that manifests it is chaos.
Jin’s battle god blood mixed with Chaos and caused changes, and as a result, Jin and Chaos were able to read each other’s thoughts in a certain area.
And resonance was not limited to Jin and Chaos. Like Jin, Vahn also has a connection with chaos. Because of the nature of chaos.
“The resonance between me and chaos only manifested when the brother Jin made a rift and escaped the subspace of chaos. Just like the brother could only read the thoughts of chaos there.”
Therefore, Vahn has read the feelings of Jin and Chaos after each fight. This information Vahn found out in the process was as follows.
First, chaos cannot escape the subspace on its own once it has been in the form of a ‘door’.
Second, chaos waited for Jin to come.
After Vahn explained these things, Jin seemed to understand why Vahn had so vehemently urged a duel.
She was sure that chaos would not kill Jin. The reason was no different.
“Because it is lonely. Chaos has been forced into its territory, but it feels extremely alone there. Besides, only Brother Jin can come to that place, so if it kill you, it will be alone forever.”
-[Tch, you run away well...…! Next time, I’ll be sure to send you to the other world!]
-[You took a long time this time, didn’t you?]
-[What, did you bring a toy for me?]
Suddenly, Jin recalled a few words from Chaos.
Most of them were jeers and taunts, but sometimes Chaos used to express loneliness subtly.
’Did it mean that?’
Jin seemed to know why he felt bad after this fight.
Chaos had compassion. It was a strange feeling, of course. Just a little while ago, the feelings Jin had for Chaos were close to hatred like towards mortal enemies.
But even after the chaos took such a huge blow, even though chaos knew it couldn’t win next time, it stopped the awl at the end...… Actually, just thinking that it waited in that dark space for someone who would come to kill it?
Jin couldn’t help but feel pity.
“And I think Brother Jin must have known at some point that it wasn’t killing you. You just couldn’t think more about it because of your anger towards chaos.”
It was as Vahn said.
“…… It wasn’t just anger. It’s chaos. It also stole all my strength. So, to me, it was an object that had to be subdued no matter what its psychology was.”
It was not a good opponent to fight with even a little shaken by compassion and other emotions. It was so strong that even if Jin fought with a well-forged master sword, he couldn’t win.
Vahn nodded slowly.
“Yeah, that’s right. So you didn’t stop fighting it until you were able to win. It seemed like it would be of great help to your training, and it actually turned out that way.”
One of the best driving forces for human growth is hatred. For the past year and three months, Jin has devoted himself to training and fighting with a deeper anger than ever before. The result was the 1st ultimate technique of shadow sword, first night.
In addition, as of today, all of the old strength have been restored, and the aura and mana accumulated so far remain intact.
If purely based on the magnitude of the strength, Jin has already reached 10-stars in both Aura and mana. Jin completed his ultimate technique in Shadow force and looked toward the second half of 9-stars in shadow force.
Swoosh...…!
Suddenly, Jin and Vahn’s optical hearts radiated an even more intense brilliance. As always, it wasn’t a phenomenon that both Jin and Vahn wanted.
“Kuh……!”
A huge force was rushing into Jin’s illuminating heart out of nowhere. Jin would have passed out after a few seconds if he hadn’t regained his original strength just a moment ago.
He could hold on for now. Even though he was in a state of exhaustion, the strength that reappeared in the body was absorbing Vahn’s power in an instant, like trees facing rain in a drought.
The problem was with Vahn. Vahn momentarily stumbled because the released strength was so huge that it was incomparable to the previous one.
“Sister battle god!”
“Sister battle god……!”
The Plutonian tribe panicked and approached Vahn. She raised her hand as if she was okay, but her face showed signs of exhaustion.
“There’s nothing to fuss about, siblings. Let’s move out of the training ground.”
As soon as they moved 500m away from the training ground, the battle god fusion was canceled.
“Come to think of it, now that Brother Jin has regained all his strength, can’t we break down the door?”
“If you do that, the phenomenon of battle god fusion will disappear, but…… Since that was not the purpose of the brother Jin in the first place, there is no need for the brother Jin to step in to defeat chaos.”
Boras replied to Nata’s words.
“Brother Jin.”
“Yes, sister battle god.”
“What are you going to do?”
“Are you asking if I want to kill chaos?”
"Yes."
The eyes of the Plutonians were focused on Jin.
Half of them had no other expression, and the rest of the Plutonian were divided in half.
The one who wanted to get rid of the first chaos right away and the one who wanted to watch it because it was pitiful.
“Hmmmm. Brother Jin. This is a matter for the you to choose, but I wonder if it’s better to let it live.”
“Brother Boras! What are you talking about? That guy is the first chaos. Now that Brother Jin has regained his power, we must get rid of it quickly. Also, there might be some hidden power, and if left alone, it might cause some trouble later.”
“Yes, it is true that there are pitiful parts. We know best how dangerous the first chaos is, right?”
“I can’t even admit to being pitiful. If sister battle god hadn’t taken it out of Brother Jin in the first place, it would have killed Brother Jin!”
“I know, I know. But, chaos is valuable as a subject of study. The enemies that brother Jin dealt with outside also use the power of chaos, and we can study the battle god fusion only with that chaos.”
“Everyone.”
When Jin spoke, the Plutonian tribesmen stopped talking.
“First of all, my problems are still unsolved. Although I regained my strength...….”
Jin rolls up his sleeves.
“Here, there are still black spots. It seems that its strength has weakened, so they are softened.”
“Then, if you annihilate it, they will disappear completely. Just to tell you, we can’t directly enter the subspace of Chaos, but getting rid of the door is a piece of cake.”
“It gave me many chances, for whatever reason.”
The eyes of the Plutonian widened.
“Whether it was because chaos was lonely or because its only pleasure was to play with me like a toy. It can kill me anyway, but it has saved me many times. So I’d like to give it a chance."
“No, Brother Jin! Since when did you become such a benevolent person?”
“It’s not just for that reason. As Brother Boras said, it’s worth studying. Aside from the battle god fusion, I might be able to discover something from it that will help me deal with chaos in the future.”
The siblings, who had been fiercely opposed until just now, nodded as if they couldn’t help it as soon as Jin came to a conclusion.
"Of course, if it comes out even a little uncooperative, I’ll kill it immediately."
"If that’s Brother Jin’s choice, then we have no choice but to follow."
"Well, it’s not something that doesn’t make sense."
“Just in case you don’t know, I will devote two days to recovering, and I will go back in the best condition. In any form, the decision will be made at that time, so everyone please wait a little bit.”
For the next two days, Jin was able to take a proper rest after a long time.
And he gave the others a chance to rest, who had been working hard on hell training for half a year, but during that time, he often go to empty training ground alone.
Jin was seen sitting quietly in front of the door leading to subspace, as if to listen to the story of chaos.
“Can you hear the inner self of chaos? Sister battle god.”
Vahn shook her head and replied:
“No, I can’t hear it because there are no rift made by brother Jin.”
Vahn had a very sad face. She also expects Jin to kill Chaos.
