Chapter 55 - Dominion of the Chaotic.
Noctis's gaze remained locked onto Azvoid, his voice a command echoing through the mental space. "You have gained the Authority of Chaos, but power means nothing without mastery. I will forge you into a being worthy of wielding it."

Azvoid's blood was already boiling with anticipation. "Then let's get started. What's the first test?"
"Simple." Noctis's eyes gleamed with dark brilliance. "Dominate."
The mental space quaked, and from the shadows, monstrous figures emerged. Their presence was thick, an oppressive aura seething with malicious hunger. Tenebrous Hounds, larger and fiercer than the ones before, their black flames crackling with greater intensity.
But that wasn't all. New horrors joined them—Shadewyrms, serpentine creatures with eyes that glowed like crimson moons. Their forms were sinuous and twisted, their bodies composed of pure shadow interwoven with spectral energy. They glided through the darkness, their movement unnatural and graceful.
Azvoid's eyes narrowed, a smirk curving his lips. "You really are out to kill me, aren't you?"
Noctis grunted. "If you die here, it only proves your unworthiness. Now, assert your dominance. Show me your Authority."
The creatures advanced, their eyes gleaming with ravenous intent. But Azvoid didn't panic. The power coursing through his veins felt different, wild yet responsive to his will. The Authority of Chaos.
He spread his arms wide, his voice booming like thunder. "Kneel."
The command wasn't just words. It was pure intent forged from his will, enhanced by the Authority of Chaos. A shockwave rippled outward, slamming into the beasts like an invisible tidal wave.
The Tenebrous Hounds stumbled, their flames flickering as if caught in a storm. The Shadewyrms recoiled, their ethereal forms trembling under the weight of Azvoid's command.
A notification flickered before his eyes.
[Authority of Chaos Activated! Your presence overwhelms the chaotic entities before you!]
[Creatures with weak will shall be forced into submission!]
Azvoid's smirk deepened. "So, this is what it feels like..."
But his victory was short-lived.
One of the Shadewyrms let out a screeching hiss, its body convulsing before it snapped free from his influence. Its crimson eyes blazed with defiance.
The other creatures began to follow suit, their resistance building against the force of his command.
Noctis's voice cut through the chaos. "Authority is not a blunt force. It is control. Precision. Overwhelm them not by strength, but by sheer presence. Let your will seep into their very essence."
"Alright, old man. I got it." Azvoid closed his eyes, his senses sharpening. He could feel the chaotic energy swirling around him, the primal hunger of the beasts, the madness of their existence.
He let his will expand, not like a hammer, but like a shadow creeping into every crevice. His command was not a shout this time, but a whisper laced with undeniable power.
"Submit."
The Tenebrous Hounds collapsed, their flames flickering into subdued embers. Their heads lowered, bodies trembling as if weighed down by an unseen force. The Shadewyrms writhed, their bodies coiling around themselves, their crimson eyes dulled with reluctant obedience.
[Authority of Chaos Successful!]
[You have subjugated: Tenebrous Hounds (x6), Shadewyrms (x3)!]
[New Passive Effect Discovered: Chaotic Supremacy – Creatures you dominate are temporarily granted a portion of your power, enhancing their combat abilities under your control.]
Azvoid's eyes snapped open, his gaze fierce and victorious. "Looks like I passed the first test."
Noctis's rumbling laughter filled the void. "Impressive. But do not grow complacent. This is merely the beginning."
Azvoid shrugged. "Wouldn't have it any other way. So, what's next?"
Noctis's form seemed to swell, his presence a looming storm. "Now you must prove your authority under true combat. I will unleash hordes upon hordes of chaotic creatures. Not merely to test your control, but to force your abilities to evolve under pressure."
Azvoid's grin was wild, excitement thrumming through his veins. "Bring it on. The more, the better."
Noctis's gaze gleamed with approval. "Very well. But remember, Azvoid. Chaos only acknowledges those who dare to conquer it. Do not disappoint me."
The world around Azvoid trembled, a vortex of darkness opening before him. And from that abyss, countless creatures poured forth. Not just Tenebrous Hounds and Shadewyrms, but twisted monstrosities born from nightmare itself. Their howls and shrieks filled the void, a cacophony of madness.
Azvoid's eyes burned with a fierce determination. His Authority of Chaos surged, his will expanding like a tidal wave. And then, he plunged into the chaos with the ferocity of a storm...
