Chapter 426: Side Story: Chaos' Eye

It happened after Silveria and Nyx were blasted away after the mysterious giant hands appeared and caught the mysterious lady before disappearing.

In a place where everything appears to be in perfect harmony with each other, a perfect paradise sat two men; their features could not be seen; it was blurred. These two men were playing chess; one of them had his arm on his back; this arm was dark, almost as if it could disintegrate at any moment. In this perfect heaven, this arm could be said to be the only thing imperfect. 

''How is your hand?" Asked the one dressed in pure white. 

''Not bad. Sigh! I was careless.'' The one in black sighed; however, there was a certain playfulness inside his voice. 

''If I didn't know you better, I would have said you were careless. To think you will waste a body to seal that girl again. What were you thinking about opening the Pandora box so soon, Primodeus?" 

''Hahahaha! Don't know what you are talking about, Elemial.'' Primodeus said and continued to play as if nothing. 

The one in white lifted his head, the mist surrounding his eyes got momentarily lifted, his eyes were rainbow, the universe seemed to revolve faster because of those rainbow eyes, the elements became chaotic, when suddenly, the mist-covered Elemial once again, the universe regained its calm. 

''You know, everything has cause and effect. I thought we decided to only act like outsiders, nothing less. No intervention, have you forgotten what happened?'' Elemial asked. Having lived together for so long, longer than he could ever remember, it was easy to know when Elemial was angry; currently, indeed, he was. 

''Sigh! Forgive me, brother. It's precisely because of that; I knew it was under my order others moved to separate them into a different world; it couldn't be helped. In the beginning, how many of us are there? However, what about now? Forget it, forget it. I know there is a balance, but it couldn't be helped. Without my intervention, the last of Asura, our-, forget it. Let's wait and see. Hopefully, this time it will be the end; it will be the good one.'' Primodeus said and stopped playing chess; he was not in the mood anymore. Also, it was time for him to switch bodies, for a supreme being such as him, even Nyx's ability could be dreadful. 

Primodeus vanished, Elemial sighed, the chess in front of him disappeared to leave the place to a myriad of worlds, amidst these worlds, some were shining brightly than others, Mysthia's was one of them, in every world a reincarnated person was inside of, it would shine brighter. Sixteen worlds shining white while on the other side there was 16 dark world, it was like chess pieces. 

''Why did it becomes like this?" Elemial asked and looked into a certain direction, in a completely dark dimension where no source of light ever reached.

A man was chained against a throne; somehow, the chains binding him increased. 

''Hehehehe! So you couldn't stop yourself from intervening. It is a shame I didn't manage to get her. I have tried, though. Well, the plan shall continue. More worlds should be conquered as for where my little wife is. Things should be accelerated; he must grow stronger before being thrown into the deepest pit of despair. Hie~ Hie~ hie~ how exhilarating it is going to be. Chaos shall reign, everything will return to chaos, and I shall rule once more.'' 

•••••

Mysthia; unknown location, in the headquarter of the unknown organization. 

In the highest throne hall, Lord Thanos sat on his throne. Zero could be seen kneeling; numerous black chains wriggling like worms pierced his body from all sides; not even his heart was spared. Blood drenched the ground, Zero's skin was paler, these chains wriggled nonstop and ate Zero flesh, gnawed his bones, the pain Zero was suffering was unimaginable, even so, he didn't even utter a single word, not even his expression changed even once, he was like calm water. 

''The supreme lord wanted the thing in the deepest part of that dungeon. However, you failed; we failed our Lord. He is too merciful; however, a second failure will not be tolerated. We chaos are everywhere; failure is not chaos. Think about it.'' Lord Thanos said and sent Zero away, space twisted behind him, and he was dragged away; at the last moment, Zero was smiling, a crazy smile, the smile of a lunatic. 

Shortly after Zero's disappearance, the vice guild master appeared, the same man that previously acted as the Golden Nugget manager until Maria fired him after Alex's acquired the restaurant.

''Kretos, you are here.'' Lord Thanos said.

''Yes, my lord,'' Kretos said and kneeled. 

''Rise, sit beside him.'' Lord Thanos ordered, and Kretos obeyed.

''How is the human world? Everything is going according to the plan?" 

''Yes, Lucifer will acquire that box sounds. The Eighth and the demon's princess seemed to have vanished; we are still searching for them. As you have said, they must be heading to the Demon's continent.'' Kretos roughly explained what was going on. 

''I see. We mustn't let them succeed. It would be detrimental to ours. How are Lord Drakos preparations?" 

''The preparations are underway. I heard that the Holy Crux would be making a move soon.'' Kretos suddenly announced.

''Oh? These fools that label us as Evil?" Lord Thanos asked with a smile. 

''Yes, the Holy Daughter will be going on a mission soon.'' Kretos dropped another piece of news. 

''I see. They treat us as Evil, and yet they covet someone else body. How hilarious. Those hypocrites gave the urge to puke, acting all righteous. Simply, "The church."

In the guise of helping people, the church controls whatever they can in secrecy. They use threats, bribery, and 'the word of god' (which they fabricate) to get their way. They teach the people of their society only the things that will eventually benefit them, sell admissions to heaven, and take in a lot of eager, young people who don't know they are being used. The king under the church is a figurehead for the head Priest, who has a number of Arch-Bishops, a number of bishops themselves, and so on down the line.

The Church is an example of an evil organization disguised as a place for good and healing. Bunch of hypocrites. We the Chaos's Eye shall corrupt this world, turning it into evil, Chaos shall reign!" 

''Chaos shall reign!" 

''Prepare for war. The world shall learn of our existence, what Chaos's Eye is.'' Lord Thanos declared the eyes under the hood turned darker like the most frightening abyss.
