Chapter 610,
Chapter 156. Purification of Chaos (14)
* * *
Jin stood in front of the door of chaos again.
As usual, all the Myungwang brothers were looking at Jin and the door of chaos alternately.
“Today’s fate will be decided.”
“Whatever choice Brother Jin makes, we will follow it wholeheartedly.”
Jin looked at Ban, who was standing there with an expressionless face. In her calm eyes, there was a feeling of loneliness that she had harbored for the past two days as she watched the door of chaos.
“I’m coming.”
Entering the door, the darkness of emptiness and chaos greeted Jin.
Originally, whenever I came in, I immediately saw the huge body of Chaos. Each time, he started the battle with a powerful forepaw swing or a super-powerful tail slap.
Is it because I lost my power now or is there another reason? There was no chaos in sight.
Because of this, Jin moved forward aimlessly.
We walked slowly for about an hour.
And for the first time since entering the realm of chaos, Jin was able to realize that there is an ‘end’ in this dark space.
An unusually dark curtain began to appear. At first, I thought it was a point leading to chaotic unconsciousness, just like it was in the abyss of Gleec, but that was just the end.
I couldn’t move forward as if I was blocked by a wall. Even if it was cut with the spirit sword, the rift did not open and it was not destroyed.
Let’s walk along the wall a little farther. I saw a crouching chaos.
Chaos stood up when Jin came into view, but he looked even smaller than he had last seen.
It maintains the form of a dragon, but overall it is round, almost looking like a baby rabbit. It was so big that it wouldn’t fill up even if I put it on the palm of my hand.
Moreover, Chaos no longer felt the same destructive power as before. After being hit by Jin’s spirit sword ultimate, Chaos lost almost all its power.
[Hey kid. Already drunk with a sense of victory and arrogant, I hate to look at you.]
Jin had an expressionless face.
“Brother Toshin said that outside. It’s not that you can’t kill me, it’s that you didn’t kill me because you feared making me more lonely. Is that true?”
[What do you know? You’re going to kill me now.]
Jin unsheathed his sword and set it aside. Then, as if he had no intention of harming me, he raised his hand and sat down ten steps away from the chaos.
“Maybe your answer will change my mind.”
[joy! Even if I don’t have a weapon, I can handle as much as I can now, so are you pampering yourself?]
“You look pretty twisted.”
[Doesn’t it look like that? My life is ruined because of you Originally, I should have hatched perfectly as one with you, but that turned out to be because your brothers took me out. Then we should be able to live our own lives, but you rushed to kill me.]
“Isn’t that natural since you took away my power?”
[Your monstrous brothers only took your side. Ignoring all my appeals.]
“It was a problem that would end if I returned my power.”
[If you return it, I’ll be killed by you and those monsters because I’m worthless! Did you ever think of talking like you do now? Besides, you keep saying you stole it, but that’s my power?]
Silence passed for a while.
“You just said that your life was ruined, but is that because you lost all your strength? Or is it because once you enter this place, you cannot go out on your own?”
[…Wait, how do you know I can’t go out by myself?]
“Brother Toshin told me. Every time I opened a rift, your insides were conveyed.”
The eyes of chaos widened. Chaos was completely unaware of that fact.
[under! okay? I mean, I knew everything. But did you continue to stand by as you threatened to kill me? That’s amazing.]
Chaos gritted its teeth as if it was unfair.
“She is my brother. It is natural to classify you as an enemy.”
Jin shrugs.
For a moment, he looked back at this dark space he had walked through. A land where there is literally nothing but pitch-black darkness, and even that can be reached by walking for about an hour.
When I thought that this place was all allowed to Chaos, I felt even more sorry.
‘The reason why the Tushin brothers kept looking at the door with such lonely eyes is probably because they desperately felt its loneliness.’
When Jindo Chaos was outside, he could read its inside. At that time, unlike now, it was a time when only anger toward chaos was full, but he felt sorry for him.
Somehow, it reminded me of Shuri. Abandoned for nearly a thousand years, his red jade tomb lived alone in a desolate forest of thorns in the corner of the Black Sea.
let’s save
Jin came to that conclusion.
“You don’t seem to be able to read my thoughts right now, do you?”
[You’re thinking about how to end me.]
“It’s the opposite. However, there are some concerns.”
[What?]
“First of all, I heard that the first chaos started from the witch Heluram. And the first chaos has particularly erratic properties.”
[What is Witch Heluram?]
“What?”
[I don’t know that. It just woke up inside of you.]
Chaos was in a state where there was no awareness that it was ‘the first chaos that started from witches’. It was also the reason why he always recognized Jin’s power as ‘his’.
Chaos is thinking that one is not a witch but born from Jin.
“Then why did you react so sensitively to the aura?”
[It’s instinctive fear. It’s to the point where I don’t know how I could have existed from you guys who had something like that.]
Chaos, for example, was a kind of ‘seed’. Helluram’s power just settled inside Jin like a seed sprouting.
To Chaos, it didn’t matter who sowed the seeds, and he didn’t even care.
Originally, trying to eat Jin and become one was only an instinctive growth process from the point of view of Chaos.
When Chaos explained these things, Jin couldn’t help but laugh.
“These are unbelievable stories.”
[Whether this is a lie or not, you will know as soon as you go outside. Because your monster brother will be able to read my insides.]
“Aren’t you using tricks to get out?”
[You really can’t believe me until the end. I fled here because I was afraid of your monster brothers in the first place, and because you kept resonating with them and becoming stronger. Now I’m in a state where I’ve lost my strength, so what can I do if I go outside? I don’t have any cards left now, thanks to you!]
It didn’t seem like a lie.
‘Well, even when I had power in the first place, I was terribly afraid of my brothers.’
Jin nodded.
“Okay, let me take you outside. What should I do?”
[If you just open the rift… Really?]
“Actually, there’s no reason to kill you, since you’ve regained all your powers anyway. Personal resentment has also been resolved to some extent. There is one last remaining problem, but for the sake of the Tushin brothers, I can accept that much.”
[…for the sake of the monster brothers?]
Joo Woo-wook-!
Jin spread his spirit sword and opened a rift.
“Let’s go.”
Chaos followed Jin and stood in front of the rift, then hesitated for a while.
[If I go out, won’t your monster brothers hate me?]
“Well. If you want to stay here, do so.”
[no no. Let’s go.]
Eventually, as Jin and Chaos escaped to the training ground, the Myungwang family opened their eyes wide as if they were curious.
“Is that the first chaos?”
“Are you too small?”
“He said he wanted to give him a chance, but it seems Brother Jin decided to let him live.”
“Let’s be happy to welcome you like this. It also came out a little cute.”
“Oh Brother Jin. good job! I was actually worried about what would happen if my brother killed that guy. Nice to meet you, I’m Boras the King of O2! Since we have to conduct some research with your help in the future, shouldn’t we get closer especially quickly?”
Confused by the unexpected hospitality, he hid behind Jin. Jin also saw Ban’s eyebrows narrow.
As soon as they came back to Lapra Rosa, she was able to read the inside of chaos.
On the other hand, Jin couldn’t hear the heart of chaos.
“Come closer.”
Ban reached out to Chaos.
Chaos looked at her and cautiously climbed onto her hand.
‘He said he was scared and hated it all the time, but to his half-brother, he’s truly a gentle sheep.’
One last remaining problem.
When Jin said that just before coming out, he meant the black spots left on his body.
He had an intuition that if he killed Chaos, he would disappear, but Jin saved Chaos for Ban.
It was because he had seen Van so sad.
Ban felt the solitude of chaos as if it were his own, and he felt a kind of identification with compassion. The sense of kinship with being trapped in a dead world from which one cannot escape alone.
That’s why I looked at the door of chaos with such a lonely eye.
Chaos seemed to keep saying something in an inner voice above Ban’s hand. Ban often nodded his head in response.
“…So you mean that you can get rid of Brother Jin’s birthmark by doing that? i get it. Brother Jin.”
“Tell me, Brother Tushin.”
“Now I will take care of this child.”
Jin didn’t question Ban.
She chose that because it meant she was sure that chaos could never threaten her or her brothers.
Black energy flowed from the body of Chaos like an aura.
The energy hovered near Ban and was absorbed into her berserk heart.
As the energy of chaos seeped into Ban’s wide heart, the spots spread like tumors all over Jin’s body faded and disappeared.
It seemed like a kind of contract, but from Chaos’ point of view, it was ‘moving’.
‘But how could you be so heartless? I thought you were reading my insides.’
‘That’s because you tried to harm Brother Jin.’
‘After all, you decided to accept me because I might be of some help to that damn bastard.’
Ban patted Chaos’s head at those words and replied as follows.
‘It’s not necessarily because of that.’
And Chaos was reading Ban’s inside. The sincerity that he has felt so sorry for himself ever since his inner self was conveyed through the first crack.
