Chapter 516: Chaos- History of Ryder
"Are you saying that because the God of this elent is dead, their elent is unstable?" Ryder asked Janus, surprised.
"That’s right. Because of your body being a mortal body, you aren’t really allowed to use the Bracelet of Immortality. It was made for a God after all," Janus answered.
"It was made keeping an immoral godly body in mind. You don’t have that. It’s only because of your soul that you can even use a little bit of it. But that also isn’t enough. Each elent cos with a limited ability. Because of your body, you can’t use their full potential," he continued.
"You can only use each elent’s ability to a higher extent for a few weeks after you get that fragnt. After that, it adjusts to your body and becos limited," he added.
"Yeah. You told last ti. That was also why I was able to heal from death with the use of your Nature of Healing without having to be forced back in ti at the start. But now, death forces back in ti. The Nature of Healing only works now to heal from a near-death situation if the damage is sothing which won’t cause my death right away," Ryder answered, realizing what he ant.
"That’s why you need to get all your fragnts. That will make the bracelet completely unrestrained by the mortal bounds," Janus said.
"But you just said that the death of the God of Ti made his elent unstable? How can I use that elent to its previous capacity that I was able to do at the start. Doesn’t that an if other gods are dead, the outco will be the sa?" Ryder asked, curious.
"That’s right. If you kill the God who presides over Nature, Nature of Healing will also return to normal," Janus answered.
"Sigh, but is that even possible? I still don’t understand how the God of Ti died. He is a literal god from what I understand that rule over ti. He can’t die of old age, at least according to the lores I read," Ryder wondered, curious.
"That’s right. He can’t die of old age. But that doesn’t an he can’t be killed," Janus answered, finding it a bit funny. The one who had killed the Lord of Ti was asking such questions.
But he couldn’t bla Ryder either. He didn’t rember anything at all. It wasn’t his fault. That was how it was supposed to be.
His mories needed to return slowly. Otherwise, his body was going to be overburdened by all that power and destroyed within days.
"Soone killed the Lord of Ti? Who could have such Strength? Another god?" Ryder asked. "Wait a minute. You’re a god too. Did you kill him?"
"I didn’t. Soone even stronger than killed him," Janus answered, laughing.
"Who? Which elent was he a god of? There should be many gods," Ryder assud.
"His elent?" Janus asked, amused. "That’s an interesting question. His elent is sothing that no one knows. Actually, not even I know what his elent is," Janus answered.
"Huh? Do all gods have a Heavenly City or sothing? Do you gossip about other gods like oldies here? It’s tough to believe that you don’t know about a god," Ryder replied.
"I know about the elent of all gods except one. He is the one who killed the Lord of Ti. He is the anomaly of the God Realm. Do you want to hear about him? It’s actually a pretty well-known and amazing story in Heaven," Janus asked Ryder.
"Sure. It’s not like I have to do anything in a hurry. I’m free for a good story. Let know more about the Heaven. I also want to know if all those books were right or not," Ryder nodded his head as he laid on the bed comfortably, waiting for the story.
"He is the one who was nad... Chaos."
Janus said the na which no one had spoken in a long ti. It was the na of his brother—the true na of Ryder at his Origin.
"Chaos? What an intimidating na," Ryder muttered. Just hearing the na itself gave him a strange feeling.
"He was born in a ti of peace. There were no wars. Everywhere was peace. All gods had an Elent that they inherited from their parents. They were the ones who were going to inherit the elent and the position of their parents after growing up."
"In that ti of peace was born a boy who was nad Chaos..." Janus said.
"You want to know why he was nad that?" he asked.
"Why?" Ryder asked.
"It was because the peace was destroyed with his arrival. On the day he was born, before he could even be nad, his mother died of sickness. It was the first ti a goddess had died of sickness. That sa day, another prominent god declared war on the boy’s father."
"The whole Heaven was thrown into the pit of war after an eternity of peace. All before the boy could even be nad..."
"Don’t tell his father placed the bla of everything on the bad luck of his son and called him Chaos?" Ryder asked, feeling sowhat bad for the boy. He didn’t know why but his heart ached as he heard that story more than it should have.
"That’s right. His father blad him. After two months of being born, he finally got his na— Chaos, the God of Nothing."
"The God of Nothing?" Ryder asked, surprised.
"Yeah. It was a ti when all kids inherited the abilities of their parents, including their Divinity. But Chaos was different. He was born without any abilities. He was the first child that was born without Divinity..." Janus answered.
"That was why others made fun of him by calling him the God of Nothing."
"What happened after? How did a boy without any abilities beco strong enough to be able to kill the Lord of Ti who should have been the strongest, I assu?" Ryder asked.
...
Far away from earth, Janus was still sitting near the pond where two fishes swam.
He was gazing towards the light sky that was shining in Mystical lights.
"So beautiful..." he muttered softly.
....
"Beautiful?" Ryder asked, hearing Janus’s words.
"Yeah. The boy didn’t have any Divinity, but he was a really great painter. His paintings were so beautiful. I wish I could see them once again. Unfortunately, he destroyed them all with his own hands," Janus answered.
"Tell what happened to him. Not about his paintings," Ryder said, smiling wryly.
"Fine. What happened was that he wasn’t actually as useless as everyone assud. It was when the boy was ten years old when everyone realized that," Janus said.
"Why? What happened then?" Ryder asked, curious.
"When the boy was eight years old was when his father married again. His father married another goddess. He also had a son who was one year old when Chaos was ten years old."
" As you may guess, Chaos received no importance. Everyone detested him for being weak, including his own father. But he never hated his father. He only had love, not only for his father but for his new step brother as well."
"His brother was only one year old. Chaos was sitting near him. Their parents were outside; it was a eting of the gods. Only the two kids were ho," Janus explained.
"Don’t tell sothing bad happened?" Ryder asked, having a bad feeling.
Janus softly answered, "That’s right. Sothing bad did happen. The one year old boy accidentally used his ability that he had received from his father to open a portal, unaware of anything. And from the portal, ca they..."
"They who?" Ryder asked, frowning.
"The Dark Crawlers..." Janus said after a deep pause.
"Dark Crawlers? What are they?" Ryder asked, confused.
"They are the frightening creatures that aren’t born. They just ca into existence in random corners of the space because of the increasing darkness in the world. Normally they can’t enter the Heaven, but because of that portal, they were able to," Janus answered.
"This is getting bad. Don’t tell soone died," Ryder told Janus.
"That’s right. Soone died..." Janus answered.
"But it wasn’t who you’re thinking," Janus answered. "It was the Dark Crawlers that died. All of them. Not a single scratch or harm ca to the one year old boy."
"And Chaos?" Ryder asked.
"Sigh, Chaos was punished by their parents," Janus answered.
"Wait a minute! You skipped the most important part. Who killed the Crawlers? Chaos was useless. Was it the one year old boy? Did the parents co ho and kill the crawlers?"
"And even then, why did the parents punish Chaos? You said the boy wasn’t hard. Did they bla the portal incident in Chaos?" he asked.
There were already tens of questions in his mind and not enough answers. Just what actually happened? Why was the boy published when he wasn’t at fault? Who saved them?
