Cthulhu Gonfalon

Chapter 818: Vol V Chapter 178

Sui Xiong had once met with “Chaos.” In this era, he might be the one who truly witnessed the scene of “the awakening of Chaos,” even if it was not accidental.

At that time, he saw with his own eyes, that “Chaos” was gradually awakening. Looking like solidified black mud, it wriggled in a strange and indescribable manner. Personally experiencing that wriggling movement caused something to click within Sui Xiong. He could hardly stop himself from learning how to wriggle in that manner.

But ultimately, he was able to curb his impulse to imitate the movement of the other party and maintain a clear individuality. Then he broke away from the other party via the means of self-detonation.

Judging from the situation all these years, it was unquestionable that he had made the right choice back then. Not only did he escape the crisis, but he also was not subjected to any adverse side effects, so it was considered a good choice.

Especially after learning the truth about that thing, Sui Xiong could not feel any more fortunate over the choice he made—unquestionably, at that time, he was definitely not a match for “Chaos.” If there was a real conflict, he would definitely be the one who died.

But Sui Xiong also came to understand one thing.

He could resist the erosion of “Chaos,” or at least, he could resist the erosion of this fellow to a certain degree.

He did not know how much this “certain degree” was, but he was certain that if Chaos were to really become powerful enough and restore a substantial amount of rationality, then it would definitely come seeking trouble with Sui Xiong.

Because it would absolutely not allow anything that could resist its erosion to exist in this world.

Sui Xiong was thoroughly convinced of this. It was not through rational thinking or careful reasoning that allowed Sui Xiong to arrive at such a conclusion. It was purely intuitive.

There was no need for any reason. It was completely intuitive.

Of course, after thinking and reasoning, he felt that his intuition was reliable enough. There was no reason for Chaos to let him go.

Whether it avoided danger for the sake of survival, or simply for the sake of achieving complete “domination,” Chaos had to destroy all that stood in its way.

Of all these targets, the first in line was probably the Dragon of Chaos. Then the next was most probably the Master of Chaos, and then... maybe the next would be his turn.

Though it was said that there was no difficulty too great to be solved by someone capable enough, anyhow, there was always the Master of Order at the front of the line. There was nothing to be afraid of. But there had to be reasons as to why the Master of Order had not killed “Chaos” over the years. If “Chaos” was unable to kill the Master of Order, maybe it would change its mind. It might adjust the order between the third and second targets and seek trouble with Sui Xiong instead.

Sui Xiong did not feel that he would be easily found and killed. But he did not wish to be like a homeless dog that had to run for dear life, living his life in a constant state of anxiety. And he certainly did not wish to hide inside the Wheel of Order and live under the shield of protection of the Master of Order.

So his choice was to make the first move in giving “Chaos” a vicious beating before it devoured the Dragon of Chaos and before it changed into its most powerful form. Even if he could not kill it, he could at least injure it or make it feel some pain. It would be best if he could take the chance to save the Dragon of Chaos through this battle. This way, “Chaos” would never be able to fully grow up.

This was not easy, but it was the only way out.

It was impossible for the Dragon of Chaos to hide in the territory of the Master of Order due to the clash of power attributes. Even if the Master of Order wanted to help the Dragon of Chaos, the aftermath of his power could easily injure it—the clash between order and chaos was one of the most fundamental clashes in attributes in this world. It was irreconcilable.

This was why the Dragon of Chaos was so worried and insecure.

But with Sui Xiong’s help, things would be different.

The most terrifying ability of “Chaos” was not how powerful it was—of course, it was indeed very, very, very strong... here, it was necessary to make several repetitions of “very” before the “strong”—but rather, its ability to cause erosion that was impossible to resist. It had something that was based on the extremes of chaos and evil, which could almost be said to be an expression of “destruction.” This was the one true ability it had that all the other gods simply could not resist.

If it did not have this ability, there was a possibility that the gods of the Pantheon temple could defeat it if they were to act in groups.

Of course, Sui Xiong alone would not be as powerful as a group of gods of the Pantheon temple. But he was still somewhat confident if he were just to save at least one person from the hands of the Dragon of Chaos.

This was the reason he wanted to make this deal with the Dragon of Chaos. With the condition that he would help the Dragon of Chaos fight against “Chaos,” he would borrow that treasure left by the God of Virtue for a period of time to conduct a thorough and detailed study of the essence of “greater Divine Power and Goodness.”

Explaining these things was not easy. It took Sui Xiong about an hour or two to explain everything clearly to the Dragon of Chaos. The main cause was that the Dragon of Chaos was perpetually asking questions about certain details. More than once, it had felt so confused, turned things topsy-turvy and asked Sui Xiong to repeat what he had said earlier.

If it were someone else, Sui Xiong might think this was probably a lie detection technique. But with the Dragon of Chaos... Sui Xiong felt that this old dragon was most likely just a little muddled and simply could not get what he was saying.

Perhaps he was not muddled, just overly shocked... Well, this was a pretty likely possibility.

When it had confirmed that what Sui Xiong said was true, the three faces of the Dragon of Chaos laughed in unison.

From smiles to hearty laughter, and then to wild laughter.

Very happily, it said, “Great! Very good! I’m satisfied! I’m very happy with this deal!”

With that, brilliant white light emerged from its body and appeared before Sui Xiong.

“This treasure, I can lend it to you. But you can’t take it away elsewhere. You can only study it here,” it said. “Because... it will become meaningless if that guy comes attacking me and you’re not around.”

“I can teleport it here,” Sui Xiong said.

“Don’t ever think you’re able to do such a thing before this guy. It’s impossible,” said the Dragon of Chaos. Its three heads swung at the same time, looking as though they were in convulsion. “To us, time and space are not very concrete things. In terms of time, because of the existence of the ‘law of karma,’ what we can do is very limited. But in terms of space, what we can do is far beyond what you can imagine.”

“So... when we are going against it, will we be expecting the situation where it’s unable to escape?” Sui Xiong asked.

“No. After all, not all my old friends are dead,” the Dragon of Chaos said. “So long as we can hold out for a period of time, my old friends will help us escape. And, so long as we can escape once, it’ll be much easier to deal with this matter.”

Sui Xiong nodded and asked no further detailed questions. Instead, he extended the tentacle that was wrapped around a brilliant light ball and carefully studied it.

This light ball looked like a transparent bead at first glance. All kinds of scenes of landscapes between heaven and earth were constantly changing. It exuded an all-embracing vibe. But taking a closer look, there were many cracks, big and small, on the surface of this bead. One of the most serious cracks was even very near to the core of the bead. It was worrying to think of whether the bead would shatter.

“All this time, I’ve been trying to fix it. But I don’t seem to produce any good result,” the Dragon of Chaos said. “But it’s just as well. After it has taken to this broken state, the power and laws it contained are easier to understand and master. Perhaps to you, the broken bead is more useful than when it is a perfect whole.”

Sui Xiong did not answer. At the moment, all his energy was focused on this treasure alone.

It was like an extremely profound book that was so compelling that Sui Xiong could not spare any more energy to think of anything else.
