Chapter 3 Deceiving Gaia, Devouring the Source of Chaos
Chapter 3 Deceiving Gaia, Devouring the Source of Chaos
As Tartarus spoke, the deep abyss trembled slightly, causing the vast earth to tremble slightly as well.
A holy light flashed, and Gaia, the Earth Goddess, appeared between the earth and the abyss.
She opened her beautiful eyes and spoke gently, "My dear Tartarus, what brings you here?"
Tartarus said, "My beautiful sister, you just said that the beautiful earth contains many chaotic elements, and you need to suppress them constantly."
"These chaotic elements are continuously harming you, making me feel very sad. I want to help you."
"How can you help?" Gaia suddenly opened her eyes and said quickly, "Various chaotic elements are distributed throughout the earth, constantly devouring it and destroying my body."
"I am the earth, controlling everything on it, yet I cannot eliminate the chaotic elements, I can only suppress them. Tartarus, do you really have a way to eliminate the chaotic elements within me?"
As she said this, a hopeful look appeared in her beautiful eyes.
"I'm not sure, but to help my sister, I'm willing to give everything and do my best," Tartarus said.
"As the Abyss, I also contain various chaotic origins within me. I cannot discern whether the Abyss or the Earth contains more chaotic origins."
"However, unlike the Earth, the chaotic origins haven't destroyed the Abyss; they've only occasionally caused my memories to become confused. I suspect the chaotic origins have caused you far more harm than I have."
Tartaros wasn't telling the truth.
The Abyss was born from the fusion of countless chaotic origins; he was the embodiment of chaos. The chaotic origins had no effect on him.
As for the memory distortions? That was entirely fabricated.
He paused, his tone filled with seriousness: "Therefore, my sister, for the sake of the Earth's beauty, and to help you alleviate this pain, I wish to receive the endless chaotic origins within you."
"If possible, please guide the chaotic origins you cannot eliminate into the Abyss through the Earth."
"You will receive the chaotic origins that destroy the Earth! Is that alright?" The Earth Goddess Gaia was somewhat tempted, yet also reluctant.
In Greek mythology, the Earth Mother is not a symbol of beauty, but rather of madness and recklessness.
She was key to both of the divine wars in the Chaos world.
But now, she is not a later arrival, but her very first birth.
Tartaros said, "The Abyss is chaotic, the earth is beautiful. To end your suffering, I am willing to accept the source of chaos."
"My brother, although the Abyss is chaotic, your heart is beautiful. You are so good to me, it makes me very happy and blessed. But..." Gaia, the Earth Goddess, still hesitated.
Tartaros interjected, "Sister Gaia, don't worry, the source of chaos will only cause me occasional memory confusion, not pain."
"You can try introducing a portion of the source of chaos into the Abyss first. If I feel I can't bear it, I will tell you. In the Chaos world, it's just you and me. I want my sister to be free from pain. Believe me, I can do it."
"Then... alright! Thank you, my brother. I will definitely repay your sacrifice in the future." Gaia, the Earth Goddess, became solemn.
"The destructive power of the Chaotic Source is too great; I need to control it at my strongest."
With that, the holy light dissipated, and Gaia vanished.
Tartaros, being the Abyss, felt a very slight tremor in the earth.
After a while, ten thin, black threads of Chaotic Source slowly squeezed through the boundary between the earth and the Abyss, flowing from the earth into the Abyss.
Tartaros controlled the Abyss, absorbing the ten black threads of Chaotic Source, rapidly devouring them, completely merging them into the Abyss, making them an integral part of it.
These Chaotic Sources gave him a sense of familiarity, along with a feeling of comfort.
It was like his own children returning home.
It was like a part of his own body returning, filling him, bringing him peace of mind.
Just then, Tartarus's mind flashed with familiar information again—
"The world's first absorption has resulted in the acquisition of a fragment of the Devouring God's divine spark."
"The world's first absorption of the Chaos Source has achieved complete integration, giving birth to a derived divine spark of the God of the Abyss, acquiring a fragment of the Chaos God's divine spark."
Within the invisible sphere of light, two fragments of divine spark, different from the fragments of the Deceitful God's divine spark, appeared out of thin air, also in irregular shapes.
The Book of Creation automatically turned to the third page—
[God of Chaos]
[God of Chaos Divine Spark (Incomplete, 1%)]
[Complete Method: Successfully absorbed the Chaos Source multiple times.]
The Book of Creation automatically turned to the fourth page—
[God of Devouring]
[God of Devouring Divine Spark (Incomplete, 1%)]
[Complete Method: Successfully devoured multiple times.] "The fragment of the God of Chaos's divine spark has appeared! Excellent! As long as I continue to absorb the essence of chaos and possess the complete divine spark of the God of Chaos, I can achieve godhood!" Tartarus was slightly excited.
Most of the five primordial gods born from Chaos, and the future gods, successfully achieved godhood at birth, possessing divine bodies.
As one of the primordial gods, he hadn't achieved godhood. Even though he possessed overwhelming power in the Abyss, he didn't want to remain in his Abyss form forever.
"Tartarus, is it alright?" Gaia, the Earth Goddess, asked uncertainly.
"It doesn't affect me, Sister Gaia. You can inject a hundred times more essence of chaos into my body," Tartarus said.
Gaia paused, then said hesitantly, "Currently, I cannot increase my power a hundredfold. I can control everything on Earth, but these chaotic sources don't belong to the Earth. I need to suppress these chaotic sources with ninety percent of my divine power to prevent them from harming me."
"Only a small amount of divine power can be used to expel the chaotic sources into the Abyss. For now, I can only increase my power to three times what it was before."
"Once a large amount of chaotic sources are expelled from my body, I can use more divine power, and the amount I can expel will increase even more."
"Three times is fine too. I can handle it. Rest assured, expel those chaotic sources that are harming you. For the sake of the Earth's well-being!" Tartarus said generously.
Although he couldn't be certain, he predicted that the trace of chaotic source he had just encountered was probably less than one hundred millionth of the chaotic source within the Earth.
The gods of the Chaos world possess eternal life and do not die.
Currently, three primordial gods have not yet been born, and other gods have not been born either. With only the Abyss and the Earth, Tartarus was not in a hurry.
The Earth expels the chaotic sources…
The Abyss devours the chaotic sources…
