RUMBLE!

The commotion caused by Drake could be heard several hundreds of kilometers from where he was, Pandemonium glanced into the distance, squinting his eyes with a slight amount of annoyance.
"He sure loves making a huge fuss about everything, that bastardā¦"
His crimson claws grew as his arms were suddenly covered by black and dark red dragon scales, his hands suddenly grew incredibly big, tearing down the ground below him and digging out something, a huge golden treasure chest.
"Heh, but you're not the only one that can find them easily either, fucker~" he smiled while giggling.
Pandemonium opened a crimson demon gate by his side as several demon hands grabbed the treasure and dragged it away, storing it in hell itself, this was his "Inventory" in a way.
"Panā¦ don't be likeā¦ thatā¦ you should be a bitā¦ gratefulā¦ Hm?"
Suddenly, a voice reverberated inside of his head.
"After allā¦ I found themā¦ for youā¦"
Pandemonium's delinquent-like attitude immediately changed, suddenly becoming slightly nervous as he smiled tenderly.
"Right. My bad, thank you," he said, touching his chest, especially in the area where his heart was. "And can you just call me Pandemonium? Pan isā¦"
"Why? I thoughtā¦ you liked to be called like thatā¦ by me?"
"Hahhhā¦" Pandemonium sighed. "It's embarrassing, that's allā¦ For now, try not to speak too much, your Essence is very weak, Chaos. It is a miracle that you're still yourself right now."
"Iā¦ left a piece of meā¦ in one of your fragmentsā¦ when you wereā¦ remadeā¦ I slowlyā¦ regained consciousnessā¦ I am nothing butā¦ a little flameā¦ the origin of theā¦ Flames of Demiseā¦ is me, after allā¦ the Flame Emperorā¦ did wellā¦ in remaking us as oneā¦"
"I would rather have you have your own body, let's work towards that too."
"I like it hereā¦ with youā¦ as oneā¦ I no longerā¦ feel lonelyā¦"
"Butā¦"
Pandemonium hesitated to say a few words, their situation if anything, was dire. His body parts were torn apart and scattered all over the world, and so did Chaos.
What's worse, while his Personal Realm, Hell, mostly remained stable and he still has access to all his demons and its powers, it is not the same for Chaos.
Her Realm, the Chaotic Plane, is slowly dying away as its only pillar is another of Chaos Fragments, too small to sustain it.
One of the reasons why the Chaotic Spirits and other beasts that inhabited it have been trying to conquer and terraform Yggdrasil into a world of miasma and chaos was because their own world is dying after all.
Aside from this "dying" fragment, the rest of her pieces remain within the Dragon of the Apocalypse, Ragnar?k, who was also divided apart, this dragon wasn't born by her own will, but because her fragments, devoid of her memories, became Chaotic Beasts that parasitized one of the Divine Dragons, turning them into the Chaos Dragon.
Unlike Pandemonium's resiliency, Chaos is much weaker, her powers are even more unstable, and the more separated she is from each one of her fragmentsā¦ the more her consciousness, memories, and sense of self dissolve away.
Eventually, if she is not reconstructed to at least 30% of her original form, she might die completely as everything that makes her who she is disappears, only leaving a monstrous, living mass of pure chaos.
Technically, she would dieā¦
He knows that the Primordial Flame of Demise that is a fragment of Chaos herself within his heart, is already growing weaker.
If he doesn't help her regain at least a small part of her powers, she might fall into another slumber, perhaps one she won't ever wake up from.
"It's wrong, you need your own bodyā¦" Pandemonium said. "After all, who will I have to hug and love if you're not there physically? Being inside meā¦ is fine for now, but I need you. You'reā¦"
"Fufu, getting allā¦ emotionalā¦ already? I wasā¦ jokingā¦ Panā¦ I thinkā¦ I can regainā¦ a bodyā¦ quicklyā¦ the people with the dragon you foughtā¦ two of them possess my powersā¦ will you help me take it back?"
"It is part of the plans, of course," Pandemonium's face twisted with a wicked smile. "You will get back the power they stole from you, my love. And I will remake youā¦ And then together, we willā¦"
"End this world."
"Yeahā¦" Pandemonium smiled tenderly. "Let's end it all."
He stepped forward inside of a gigantic and ancient temple, a labyrinth in ruins filled to the brim with traps and divine monsters.
His demon gate opened above him, as hundreds of demons emerged, tearing through it with their giant claws, as their big eyes glanced outside.
This was Pandemonium's powerā¦
And his curse.
"Come outā¦ beasts born from my suffering."
Every demon was a day he was tortured.
Every demon possesses the powers he stole from them.
Every demon is tough because they were made from his traumas.
And every demon, despite how different they are from him, are part of him.
And share his will.
"Destroy everything and find me all those treasure chests."
Pandemonium pointed in front of him, as the demons started moving.
"Yes, my lord."
"It will be done as you wish!"
"Everything for the god of all demons!"
"Let us feast on these monster's blood and souls, brothers!"
"Today we feast!"

After collecting the first treasure, we continued our charge, until we finally saw the labyrinth we were going to raid in front of us.
However, in the way there, Kate found another treasure chest she found inside a huge mountain, which she blew up into pieces to get.
"Papa, I got another!"
"Well done dear!"
[Congratulations! You have collected another Treasure!]
[Necessary Treasures to Pass the Second Trial: 2/20]
"18 more to go, let's go inside, we shouldn't waste any more time, we only have twelve hours for this!"
I led my entire party as we stepped into the gigantic labyrinth and ruins. I quickly returned to my smaller humanoid form, with everyone else as well, we entered the old ruins.
I only brought a small group of my summoned creatures, the smallest of them, while keeping everything else outside.
The castle dragon guarded the door so nobody would enter easily and surprise us from behind.
"Huh, this is quite somethingā¦"
And the first thing we saw as we entered wasā¦
