As the bandits surrounded [The Empress] ship, Boss was lying on the deck, resting .
It was only when his name was called that he opened his eyes .
“Strange, I’ve just changed my name and there are already people who know me?”
Boss muttered in a low voice .
He stood up and judged the other party: “I’m Boss, what do you want?”
The leader acted impatiently and made the gesture to shoo him away: “Piece of garbage, bring your men and scram from this ship or I’m taking your life right now!”
Boss was shocked .
Garbage…
That’s a bit…
Boss was speechless .
“How interesting, no one had ever dared to talk to me this way before . Even the heir of [Chaos] only referred to me through my titles and did not disrespect my status” he muttered .
The leader heard that and chuckled: “I’ve been on this current for countless years and have seen too many greenhorns like you who don’t understand a single thing, all you’re ever good for is running your mouth”
Boss smirked .
“Then you should have already seen this too”
He put his hand up and opened his palm .
Without being able to react at all, the leader vanished from where he was .
A split second later, he reappeared in front of Boss, his neck inside Boss’ tight grip .
“Don’t struggle, or I’m going to break your neck”
Boss lightly declared .
The leader finally understood that he’d run into a tough one .
“Brother, I was wrong today, let me go and we’ll leave immediately” he tried smoothing things over .
“Really?”
“Really”
Boss thought briefly and let go of his grip .
The leader hurriedly flew back into the air, activated every defense mechanism he had, and hid behind his crew .
After confirming his safety, he angrily shouted: “All of you, charge and kill them all!”
As he said the word ‘them’, he vanished again .
—–once again, he appeared in front of Boss, his neck gripped tightly .
None of his defensive measures did anything, the subordinates in front of him couldn’t even react .
“My mistake” Boss said very sincerely, “I forgot, humans are a race that like lying”
At the border of the Strife Zones and Mystic Zones .
Having lost its steed, the Soul Shrieker was stuck in a barrage of endless powerful attacks .
These were all attacks that far surpassed the normal possible output limit, nothing would be able to shield it so it could only stand and endure .
Normally, these kinds of attacks could only be unleashed through exerting all of a treasure’s power at once, only used when the situation had gotten so bad that it was their last resort .
Under such a situation, the owner of the treasure would no longer care about the treasure and detonate it in order to buy themselves a chance to escape with their lives .
Because of how powerful such an attack was, it would also be swift .
———-however, the barrage of attacks never stopped .
Ever since the wave of attacks began, countless treasures have been continuously thrown away to unleash this devastation!
Fortunately, the Soul Shrieker had been through a lot of situations and was capable of toughing it out against this… unprecedented style of fighting in the 900 million World Layers .
Over tens of thousands of years of preparation and layers upon layers of planning, it had basically killed every carrier of an [Order] there was .
Only one remained .
This would be the final one .
The Soul Shrieker believed in its own clarity .
And during a hunt, it had never lacked patience .
For the sake of today’s plan, it had lived with a single word in mind .
Wait .
Wait until after all these attacks stopped, I would be able to continue forward and capture the final carrier of [Order] .
As for these stalling minions, I’d be able to deal with them eventually .
The Soul Shrieker silently waited for the assault to end .
One hour later .
Boom boom boom boom boom!
The Soul Shrieker endured the barrage of attacks and silently waited for it to end .
Two hours later .
Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom!
The Soul Shrieker endured the barrage of attacks and silently waited for it to end .
Three hours later .
Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom!
——-It’s been three hours already, so why have the attacks only gotten more intense?
What’s going on?
The Soul Shrieker believed itself to be a true hunter, calm, collected, and patient .
—–but it wasn’t a fool .
After some thought, it started to back down .
Using its power and the recoils of the impacts, it swiftly left the scene of the battle and returned to the Strife Zones .
In the end, it fled the battle and gave up on capturing that person .
「『 Such power… I’ve never seen such an enemy before… and will most likely not be able to catch up 」』
The Soul Shrieker muttered .
It could sense that the carrier of [Order] was getting further and further away .
The Soul Shrieker stood still and silently pondered .
「『 No, the advent of the Era of [Chaos] mustn’t be delayed any longer 」』
It told itself: 「『 All the carriers of [Order] have already been eliminated, with only one of them remaining, they wouldn’t be able to overturn this situation . It would be better to first bring about the era before chasing after him again 」』
「『 Although… a considerable price will be paid for this 」』
「『 But everything in this world has its price, doesn’t it? 」』
The Soul Shrieker quickly made its decision .
Standing in the void, it stretched its arms and grandly declared:
「『 Show yourselves and come to my side, carriers of [Chaos], today you shall receive a divine baptism! 」』
A gray fog began to manifest, drifting around the Soul Shrieker and expanding all over .
The fog filled the void .
Figures showed up one after another in the fog .
They were all life forms that had taken on [Chaos], each of them bestowed with a completely different power belonging to [Chaos] .
While maintaining distance from one another, they looked towards the Soul Shrieker with a look full of desires .
“My liege, we’ve arrived at your summon”
“Envoy, I am yours to command”
“I have arrived, your excellency”
These people all declared .
The Soul Shrieker didn’t even react to them, it only lowered its head and began to chant in a low voice .
「『 Come, for the advent of the new Era, you shall contribute your power 」』
The figures of [Chaos] hidden inside the fog listened to its chant and swiftly began to move .
——although to be more accurate, their bodies were moving by themselves without their will .
“What’s going on”
“My liege, what are you doing?”
“Why can’t I control myself?”
“No, why are you doing this!?”
The carriers of [Chaos] all shouted in horror and shocked .
The Soul Shrieker looked up and explained to those around: 「『 I spent untold amount of effort preparing everything in the shadow of the 900 million World Layers, teaching you how to fight, aiding you to grow, nurturing your [Chaos] abilities, originally hoping that you would become the first group of Combatants for the Era of [Chaos] 」』
「『 However—– 」』
「『 [Order] had yet to be completely destroyed, greatly increasing the difficulty of bringing about the Era of [Chaos] . I need more power in order to achieve this feat, and thus you have received a special honor 」』
The Soul Shrieker grinned: 「『 That is to become a part of myself 」』
It opened its mouth wide, chanting in both its male and female voices: 『「 You all shall become one with me . Come! Enjoy this special honor! 』」
「『 Souls with the characteristic of [Chaos], come to me, become my power and usher in the new Era of [Chaos]! 」』
The Soul Shrieker’s voice abruptly rose to a peak:
「『 Aaaaaaaaeeeeeee—- 」』
From the fog, each carrier of [Chaos] sped up, all throwing themselves straight at the Soul Shrieker .
This was a magnificent, but a bizarre sight to behold .
Hundreds, thousands of different powers belonging to [Chaos] gathered from every direction, all throwing themselves into the Soul Shrieker’s body, then sunk in like objects in a murky swamp or a bottomless pit of quicksand, disappearing .
But the Soul Shrieker’s body didn’t show any visible change .
It maintained the high-pitched shriek, all the way until all the carriers of [Chaos] had entered its body and there were no longer any living beings in the void .
Complicated twisting runes manifested around its body for a brief moment, then vanished .
「『 Finally, it has come 」』
The Soul Shrieker was breathing heavily .
Countless faces of despair and horror appeared all over the surface of its body, then disappeared as if they had sunken to the bottom of a deep ocean .
The Soul Shrieker stood still in the void .
It opened its mouth and spoke in a multitude of overlapping voices; as if everyone in a giant choir was singing a gospel at the exact same time:
〖 We who came from a time long lost ago . We were born at the collapse of all things . We took on the suffering of all living beings, not even the Apocalypse could do anything to us 〗
〖 Era of [Chaos]! 〗
〖 We sow your seeds of growth within the endless void, where you shall mature and grow, thus becoming an existence that lord over all things 〗
The countless voices abruptly raised, as if roaring:
〖 And we! Are your bodies! 〗
〖 We shall bring [Chaos] and spread it into the 900 million World Layers! 〗
Figures made completely out of light emerged from the Soul Shrieker’s body one by one, shattered into sprites of light, and scattered into the void of space like a rushing current, swiftly going out of sight .
This was an indescribably magnificent sight, as if a deity was spreading its dignity and awe to the infinite worlds .
The Soul Shrieker silently waited until all the figures of light from its body had shattered and scattered away only then did it regain its senses .
「『 The Era of [Chaos] has arrived, and the final [Order] will soon fall 」』
『「 This time… I will move the long way around, no one will be able to discover me again…』」
It changed its direction and slowly went out of sight .
