“You can call me Chaos. Nice to meet you, my other self.” The masked man with silver and black irises introduced himself to Cassius Ambrosia.

“Cassius Ambrosia”

The Progenitor of Blood studied the masked man in front of him. Though he could not see the man’s true face, he noted the phoenix-shaped eyes, thin yet cerise lips, and tall nose that gave the man an air of exquisite beauty and unique playfulness. It was difficult to believe that an ugly man lay behind the mask.

The man, who introduced himself as Chaos, sipped his coffee calmly. His relaxed demeanor suggested he was at home, enjoying his coffee. He did not speak but allowed the Progenitor of Blood to scrutinize him with his argent orbs that shone like a lone star in the darkness. Chaos simply waited for Cassius Ambrosia to initiate the conversation.

In the end, the Progenitor of Blood had spoken and asked, “Why did you summon me in my sleep? What is it that you want to say that you aren’t willing to let A’Xia know about it and pull me into this kind of space?”

Chaos didn’t respond right away as he enjoys the fragrance of the coffee in his cup. After taking a sip, he put down his cup and finally responded to Cassius Ambrosia’s inquiries.

“What I wanted to say something to you which was something he cannot hear? I am not your enemy but I hate that man whose name you intimately call as A’Xia. I brought you here just to ask you one question.” The man who introduced himself as Chaos said.

Cassius Ambrosia’s emotionless eyes glinted with interest in a split second which disappeared immediately as if it was a mistake.

“Ask your question.”

“I’m sure that black one (obsidian-haired Hei Anjing) has shared all his memories with you. This includes the memories of that man’s abandonment and the source of loneliness in the heart growing in your heart. My question is… Why are you still keeping him alive?” Chaos asked.

His tone was casual at first, but when he asked this question, it became icy and malicious. In this man’s voice, there was even a sense of being looked down upon, as well as disbelief. Cassius Ambrosia realized that this man calling himself Chaos despises his A’Xia with his entire being, not just his mouth. What puzzled him was that, despite learning that this man despises his only precious existence, he couldn’t bring himself to despise Chaos. He could see why this man’s heart is filled with hatred.

He had a nightmare that appeared to be from his past and caused him great pain, leading to numbness and indifference. He felt insane but couldn’t completely lose himself, and he was so lonely that he almost couldn’t bear to live. Pain is more agonizing than being punished by being burned in hell.

“I got bored of it.” Cassius Ambrosia answered.

Stunned for a moment, Chaos asked, “What do you mean?”

“I killed him countless times. I did so many times but he wouldn’t die no matter what I did. Repeating things without rhyme or reason, it gets boring in the end. Moreover, even if I kill him it wouldn’t be painful for him. I don’t know if he is used to pain regardless of whether it is useless. Furthermore, you would love the warmth he brought as long as you got it once.”

Cassius Ambrosia was observing any changes in expression or emotional jumps in the man’s face, but he couldn’t see much due to Chaos’s mask or poker face. But his eyes were more empty than he had anticipated.

“For you, it must be confusing. Well unless you try it yourself you wouldn’t understand. After all, you only have hate in your heart; anything that comes after then becomes meaningless. Is that so, my other self?” Cassius Ambrosia said.

“You are speaking a lot unexpectedly and fearlessly at that. Are you not afraid I will kill you?” asked Chaos.

“No. You can’t kill me. Even if you are a lot stronger than I am, you do not have the Authority to kill or destroy me or us.” Cassius Ambrosia stated.

The man in the mask narrowed his eyes dangerously at Cassius Ambrosia, making it difficult for him to breathe, but Cassius Ambrosia had no reaction other than a frown. Death was something he couldn’t obtain with his own hands, and Chaos couldn’t either. Chaos couldn’t help but click his tongue when he saw Cassius Ambrosia still fearless despite his suffocation, and the force restraining Cassius Ambrosia’s throat had vanished.

Tsk!

Cough. Cough.

Chaos murmured, “Even if you are not him, we and he never feared death. Who am I kidding around here?” His tone was slightly annoyed despite the playful smile on his lips.

Cassius Ambrosia refused to blame chaos. He knew chaos was like him the moment he called himself another self, either a soul fragment of the original or something similar. Their flaws and strengths are comparable. One of the characteristics they all share is a casual attitude toward death.

“I don’t mind you talking to yourself but… Time’s up.” Cassius Ambrosia said.

Chaos looked up and asked, “What do you mean?”

The abandoned Domain of Time and Space trembles and then fragments, as if someone punched through it wildly. A fist appeared out of nowhere, leaving the two men inside the domain expressionless.

A crimson iris with glinting darkness peeked through once the fist was pulled out.

It fled Chaos and landed on Cassius Ambrosia. It was Fenrir Skoll.

“Baby, wait for a bit. I’ll pick you up.”

The domain started shaking badly after speaking those words. Seeing that they were caught, Chaos prepares to leave as he finishes his business.

Cassius Ambrosia said, “Leaving already. Do you not wish to wait for him to come?”

“No. If I see him I might fail to hold back and kill him on the spot. Moreover, it isn’t time for us to meet yet. It was a pleasure meeting you. Until then…” Chaos said before leaving.

Cassius Ambrosia whispered, “Until then…”

He slowly closed his eyes and then opened them again. When Cassius Ambrosia opened his eyes for the second time, he found Fenrir Skoll being held back by their subordinates Zhi Yue and Zhi Yang. There is a hole in the space where he pulled out his fist and was about to punch it again when he was stopped.

Fenrir Skoll said, “Let go, Yue, Yang. I need to pick up Cass. I saw him there.”

“Master, Calm Down! That’s an imaginary space. It’s connected somewhere in Dream Realm. Those are under someone else’s jurisdiction. It’s against the Divine Laws to trespass in someone else’s Domain!” Zhi Yue said as he was grabbing Fenrir Skoll’s left arm like a koala.

Fenrir Skoll said, “It’s fine. A bit of restraint wouldn’t kill me anyway.”

Zhi Yang who was holding Fenrir Skoll’s right arm was also trying his best to convince this Aggressive Lord God. “Lord Ye, you should have felt it. No one is there anymore. There is no need to break through it.”

Cassius Ambrosia, who opened his eyes, witnessed this scene and was speechless for a moment and then asked, “What are you guys doing? So noisy. Where’s my breakfast?”

The three men turned around and saw Cassius Ambrosia awake. The two systems chose to transform and turn into a tiny sun and tiny moon hovering in the air while Fenrir Skoll hugged his wife.

Fenrir Skoll asked worriedly, “Baby, are you okay? Did that man hurt you? You didn’t wake up no matter how much I called and had to check your soul then found it gone. You scared me so much.”

The arms around him tighten as he hears Fenrir Skoll’s fast and loud heartbeats while hugging him. This man’s anxiety and fear were visibly and openly expressed. He couldn’t help but smile in his heart knowing how much this man worries about him the moment he walks out of sight.

Cassius Ambrosia said, “I’m fine. He didn’t do much.”

“How can he take you away from me and I didn’t even notice it? Yue, Yang, check who that man is. Use all the Nether System to him if necessary. Also, ask my brother to help too.” Fenrir Skoll orders.

After receiving their orders, the small moon and tiny sun wiggle in the air and vanish. Cassius Ambrosia didn’t stop his man because he knew it was the only way to relieve his rage over his sudden disappearance. After what happened today, Fenrir Skoll could no longer keep Cassius Ambrosia out of his sight, even if he had to cook. After what happened, the two go to the kitchen to eat breakfast.

A few hours ago…

Fenrir Skoll had just finished cooking breakfast and went to the living room to call Cassius Ambrosia to eat. Wearing an apron around his waist, he entered the room and noticed his wife sleeping on his other self, his beast form. As he approached them, the large black wolf woke up and looked at him, but then closed its eyes again upon realizing it was just Fenrir’s other self. After spending most of his time napping with Cassius Ambrosia, Fenrir’s beast form became a lazy companion who could only keep his wife company as she slept.

“Baby… Cass, wake up darling. Breakfast is ready!” Fenrir Skoll calls with a gentle voice. His tone is full of pampering and affection for the sleeping man.

Cassius Ambrosia remained silent and continued to sleep. It was his wife who invited him to breakfast. After watching the sunrise, his wife, who had had toast for a midnight snack, became even more hungry and requested breakfast from Fenrir Skoll. So the husband went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for his wife.

Calling Cassius Ambrosia’s wife’s name was usually enough to wake him up. But this time, no matter how many times he calls, his wife does not respond. Finally, Fenrir Skoll’s heart is filled with dread. He woke up in his Beast Form.

Fenrir Skoll said, “Bastard! How are you watching over Cass!? Someone took his soul away!!”

Grr? Howls~

The black wolf also tried to wake up Cassius by rubbing his face on him and even resorted to licking his Luna’s face but there was no reaction. Like Fenrir Skoll, the huge black wolf started to panic and began howling.

“Shut up!” Fenrir Skoll summoned the two systems. He wanted to use them to contact someone from Vearth and ask them to trace his wife’s soul. 𝑜𝘷𝑙.𝘰𝑟𝑔

Milord, you call? said System Yue as soon as he was summoned together with System Yang.

Fenrir Skoll is already in a bad mood, “Stop the useless talk. Trace where my wife’s soul had gone. He is no longer in his vessel!”

Lord God… I can try to trace the Master’s soul within the vicinity. But it is still better to ask for help with the Nether System. System Yang suggested.

“Find him! No matter what!!”

The world was almost destroyed for a second time when Fenrir Skoll lost his temper just now. It was only halted as System Yang instantly found the location of his Master’s soul.

System Yang said, Lord God Ye, Master’s soul fragment was dragged in a Time and Space Rift. It’s somewhere in the Abyss (Void). But I can’t pinpoint the exact location.

Fenrir Skoll said, “If it’s the Void then I can find it no matter what.”

He closed his eyes and assumed command of the Void. He linked his thoughts and eyes to it and then began looking for his wife. When he found the exact location, he used his wife’s talent to control the space elements and forcefully destroy space and time with his own hands.

“I found you, my wife~”
