chaos

After regaining consciousness, Sorea found herself completely unable to speak. A dark figure stood beside her, its appearance obscured.

“You can’t speak now, so I’ll show you something.” Ignoring Sorea’s fiery gaze, the shadowy figure led her into the deeper darkness.

As Soraya drifted away with the shadowy figure, she felt a wave of nausea and dizziness. When she awoke, she was greeted by the familiar temple, a huge and magnificent temple with a massive throne in the center.

This is where Solaya grew up, the temple of Talmawen.

At that moment, Sorea subconsciously thought she had left the Otherworld and returned home.

But the shadowy figure beside her told her that this was not the home she knew.

"The deepest darkness in the world that I just took you into is where there is no concept of time or space. This is the present, the past, and the future. This is not an illusion; this is a hundred years ago."

Seeing the utter disbelief on Sorea's face, the shadowy figure pushed her a few steps away.

"Aya, didn't you just say you were going back to sleep?"

As Soraya was being pushed out, she happened to run into Talmawen and Chrona, who were returning to the temple.

"Ah... I don't know why I got here..." Sorea spoke instinctively when she heard her mother call her name. Finding herself able to speak, she wasn't sure if she had returned to the past or fallen into an illusion, so she could only answer in accordance with her mother's words.

"Little girl, go and rest. You've been so drowsy and sleepy lately." Talmawen looked at Solaya gently and reached out to pat her head, but she instinctively dodged away.

Talmawen was instantly dumbfounded: "I haven't done anything to you lately, have I?"

When Sorea escaped her father's grasp, she roughly determined what time it was. It should be when she had just become pregnant with Tarasi, before she caused a huge commotion with her family by insisting on marrying Veldrian after her pregnancy was exposed.

“…Dad, you’re trying to mess up my hair!” Sorea subconsciously mimicked how she used to speak back then.

After she finished speaking, she was surprised for a moment. She didn't expect that she was completely different from before. She didn't know when she stopped being able to act coquettishly. But when she saw her parents again, she could act coquettishly so naturally.

Although Talmawen felt that his daughter was acting strangely today, he simply thought she was too sleepy and didn't think much of it.

Chrona sensed something was off: "Where did you get these clothes? Human clothes?"

Sorea hadn't expected her mother to be so perceptive. Afraid of influencing the past, she immediately said she was too tired and wanted to catch up on her sleep, and hurriedly left.

As she stepped out of the temple, she was once again enveloped in darkness by a shadow.

Who exactly are you?

"Little girl, don't be impatient. You'll find out who I am in a moment."

After hearing the dark figure speak, the scenery before Sorea changed once again.

Then she saw herself and the shadowy figure appear in the Dream Source.

The shadowy figure stepped out of the darkness and appeared in front of Chrona. Sorea wanted to warn her mother to be careful, but found herself unable to move or speak again, and could only watch helplessly as the shadowy figure approached Chrona.

The next second, Sorea's pupils widened; her mother actually knew the shadowy figure.

"What are you doing here?" Chrona was momentarily stunned when she saw the dark figure, but then she regained her composure.

"Can't your father come and see you for a moment?" The shadowy figure chuckled and sat down next to Chrona, the black mist surrounding him instantly dissipating.

Sorea then saw the shadowy figure's appearance; she, Chrona, and the shadowy figure looked almost identical.

Chrona slammed her teacup down and looked coldly at the shadowy figure: "You are the father of all evil gods, don't act like this."

"They were all born of chaos, and you are my own flesh and blood, aren't you?"

"Aren't you chaos itself?"

"I am Chaos, not me. Enough said. Haven't you noticed anything different about your daughter today?" Chaos propped his head up with one hand, looking at Krona, whose expression had changed drastically, with a mocking expression.

Krona felt a chill run through her body; chaos approaching Her child was definitely not a good thing.

"What are you doing! What have you found!" Krona could no longer remain calm and questioned Chaos.

Chaos's smile widened as he saw the agitated Chrona: "Didn't you hide this from me? Back then, you refused to accept my position, and I let you leave. The price you paid for leaving was that you promised to give birth to an heir capable of bearing the power of darkness!"

Chrona stopped abruptly, her eyes seemingly glistening with tears. Sorea tried to rush over to wipe them away, but she couldn't move at all.

“Who told you to be my only child after I gained a physical body!” Chaos stood up, wiped away the tears from the corners of Chrona’s eyes, and leaned close to her ear, “Although I love my granddaughter very much, daughter, I would be very happy if you were willing to return to the Otherworld!”

After speaking, Chaos reappeared beside Solya, leading her through the darkness. The last thing Solya saw was Chrona's suddenly determined gaze...

Sorea burst into tears. She had blamed her mother for falling without considering the believers, but she never imagined that she was the one who had wronged them the most.

Then many images appeared before Sorea's eyes, but Chaos did not stop.

A century passed swiftly before Solaya's eyes.

She saw Talmawen making a huge fuss because Chrona was determined to fall into depravity, but her father immediately fell silent when her mother mentioned herself.

We also see that because of the quarrel between the two gods, Floria and Suthesius are trying to sow discord between Talmawen. They believe that if the alliance between the god of fate and the god of the sea breaks down, they will gain the greatest benefit.

Time continued to pass, and Solaya saw her mother forcefully give birth to her unborn brothers, and in her weakest moment, she cried out to Talmawen to kill her.

Only the remaining divine thoughts of a righteous god after death can transform into an evil god; only a god can kill a god.

After Chrona's fall, Talmawen was on the verge of collapse. Solaya saw her younger self, who was so naive and infatuated with love that she was completely oblivious to her father's breakdown.

At a certain point in time, Solaya saw Chaos stop and walk towards Talmawen.

Chaos uttered the most tempting words to Talmawen: "Do you want your wife back? I want something from another world for your child to bring back, and I'll let your wife go."

Talmawen was tempted and, encouraged by Suthesius, sent Yuan to the other world.

It seemed that Sotheus also desired what Chaos desired, so He summoned Floria. Talmawen, distrusting everyone else, added the life force of Veldrian left by Sorea and the last power left by Chrona before her fall to Euan's soul, sending Euan to another world.

"You've bewitched the other gods, haven't you? Why does it have to be my brother?" Solaya was helpless in the face of everything before her, staring at Chaos with bloodshot eyes and questioning him.

“Because you were the one who should have gone!” Chaos smiled. “You were my most valued successor, but unfortunately you were pregnant at the time. I had your two older brothers injured their souls when they fought against the evil god. I thought that even if you were pregnant, you would still have to go. But I didn’t expect that your father loved you so much that he would rather send your newborn brother.”

Upon hearing this, Sorea collapsed to the ground, utterly devastated. She never imagined that the reason she had been trying to find out was herself, nor that the reason her parents had desperately tried to keep it from her was to protect her. Her spirits immediately sank.

"Wow! I didn't expect to find this place so quickly. Those evil gods are really useless." Chaos seemed to hear a voice expressing its disdain.

Then Chaos waved his hand at Soria and slowly spoke before she lost consciousness: "Wanting your mother to be free is simple, just take her place."

Sorea kept hearing this sentence in her mind while she was unconscious, until she was woken up.

"Aya, Aya, my star!"

Solaya opened her eyes upon hearing Talmawen's anxious calls.

"My child, how are you!"

"Father, I'm alright." Sorea opened her eyes and found herself outside the cave entrance she had entered earlier.

Talmawen was very worried: "Did you see anyone or anything?"

Sorea understood that this was asking her if she had seen Chaos, but Chaos's last words before she lost consciousness made her subconsciously not want others to know that she had seen Chaos.

"It's nothing, I just fainted. Hmm? What's Tarasi doing here?" The first thing Solaya saw after fully regaining consciousness was Tarasi in Talmawen's arms.

Talmavin didn't want to talk about his awful son-in-law, so he pointed his chin at the sky ahead and said, "Look for yourself!"

Sorea looked up and saw Veldrian fighting against dozens of evil gods alone. He had many wounds on his body, and golden divine blood kept falling from the sky.

Even when besieged by multiple evil gods and constantly losing blood, no one in Veldrian could get a single step close to Solaya and Tarasi.

He would never allow his wife to be hurt in front of him again!

"Dad, hurry up and help Him." Sorea hugged Tarashi and urged Talmawen to go and help.

"Alright, alright, you brat, you're still worried about that guy."

While Soraya was holding the child and couldn't free her hands, Talmawen ruffled her hair and went to help Veldrian fight the evil god before Soraya got angry.

When Talmawen arrived, Veldrian knew that Solaya had woken up. He felt relieved and his attacks became fierce. He was already evenly matched with the evil gods, and with the addition of Talmawen, many evil gods began to flee in all directions.

As Soraya watched the two gods fighting in the sky and saw the aura they exuded from the battle, she was certain that they had been corrupted by the aura of chaos.
