Chapter 276: Memories

The mysterious temple inside of the Giant Frog’s body was indeed rather intriguing. Its entire structure was like that of a Labyrinth-type dungeon, with many intricate floors here and there
There were large rooms filled with traps and powerful monsters, but they were of not much of a challenge against Chaos and his little group. However, as they descended more and more, they realized the beasts continued to grow stronger.
Nonetheless, Chaos steamrolled through everything with ease, the amazing power of his abilities and his sheer amount of strength were enough to blast it all into pieces without any problems for him.
Until they reached a large door, imbued with large quantities of seals and runes, across this place is where a massive amount of energy was coming out from.
“I can already tell, this has a lot of fragments inside…” said Chaos.
“But how many…?” asked Aruliel.
“I can’t tell, but it is indeed quite a lot.” said Chaos.
“Come on, Aruliel, don’t be such a chicken for once, I know you got feathers and wings but…” said Dura.
“Ugh, stop teasing me, Dura! It’s not funny after you do it a thousand times!” said Aruliel angrily.
“…”
Chaos looked into the door in silence.
His eyes flashed with bright light as he suddenly found something odd inside this door.
There was just obscurity.
Only darkness.
He could not see its interior at all.
It was as if it were covered in smoke.
But even he can also see through smoke, so it didn’t made a sense he couldn’t see through it now from all things.
“Odd…”
What could lay behind these walls that not even Chaos could see properly?
Should he risk his life to see through this wall? Or just ignore it?
He felt that he had to open it and see though.
Something within this place was calling up to him…
Could this entire planet, and not only the frog, hide more mysteries than seen superficially?
“…”
Chaos stepped forward as he covered the entire door with chaotic darkness, consuming the seals and runes concealing the entire thing, and forcefully opening it all.
CRASH!
What greeted him was a massive quantity of smoke!
Black smoke…
However, it didn’t had the scent of anything, it didn’t had the smell of burning wood or anything of the sort.
So what was it then?
“Light.”
Chaos formed a sphere of light and threw it inside the black smoke slowly leaking outside.
FLASH!
He sensed a big of light coming from the black smoke, only for it to not do anything.
The light quickly came to an end as well.
“Hm…”
“Wait, Chaos-sama, don’t tell me you’re planning on going into this super suspicious place?!” Aruliel.
“All the dreadful energy is coming from it too…” said Dura.
“Come with me if you want to, or stay outside. Its your choice.” Said Chaos, as he stepped forward and lost himself within the darkness…
“W-Wait! I am coming too, my lord!” said Dura.
“Me too!” cried Aruliel.
The two jumped into the darkness together, as Chaos delved deeper.
He felt as if he was walking across a field of pure obscurity…
“What is this place and why was it inside the frog?” he wondered.
He walked forward and found small lights atop the darkness.
“Could this place had been sealed by someone else?” he wondered.
He kept walking and walking.
“Perhaps the frog swallowed the entire temple where this thing was sealed, and it even survived all the trip here… Such a strong dungeon…” he thought.
Chaos continued walking forward, as he suddenly found something in front of him.
A massive black figure, standing there motionlessly.
It seemed amorphous and dark, and Chaos could barely discern arms, legs, and many tentacles.
It suddenly opened two sharp crimson-red eyes, glaring down at him.
“Who are you?” asked Chaos.
“…”
The figure completely ignored him, as it suddenly began walking forward.
Everything was a mystery…
Chaos followed it from behind in silence.
The figure was suddenly greeted with guests.
Two massive and monstrous beings spoke to it.
“Are you ready to go?”
One of them spoke first, a horror made of flesh, an amorphous mas of fleshy and slime-covered tumors with eyes and tentacles, and a long jaw filled with sharp fangs.
“You’re the first one that shall step into this Universe for all of us…”
The second figure spoke, it resembled a very tall entity made of dark blue light, with a bright blue jewel inside of it, and the faint appearance of some sort of chimeric sea creature.
“I know… I’ve grown bored of this place anyways. The Outer Void is a boring place. I want more… conquering the Universe and devouring the Universal Core is the purpose and desire of all of us incomplete beings born from the shadow of Azathoth.” Said the tall and dark entity.
“Heh, then go on and do what you please…”
“But don’t come crying afterwards that you were defeated… well, if you’ll ever come back.”
“You two petulant fools really underestimate my power. I will show you what I can do, and leave both of you fools speechless as I amaze you with my greatness…” said the tall figure.
Chaos looked at the scene with a bit of strangeness. What was he even looking at? Who was this speaking being now? A monster? The Outer Void?
FLASH!
A massive portal to the another place opened this dark entity, as he stepped forward.
Chaos’ vision changed as he looked at what he saw.
He crossed across a wondrous sight, there was not just darkness but a sea of emptiness, of pure gray void, it was like pure void, but was moving as if it were an ocean.
However, there as a beautiful cosmos in front of it, as if it were a wondrous island in the middle of this ocean of emptiness, which waved insanely.
The entity stepped forward and flew into this bright cosmos made of countless galaxies merged together into a sphere.
SPLASH!
