"Hey Chaotic Will, are you crying?" I asked the now small blob of Chaotic Energy hovering around me. It's the previously gigantic Incarnation of the Chaotic Will, reduced to that after purifying him using a sea of Source Energy, courtesy of the faucet from the worlds connected to me.
Although most of those World's Will expressed discomfort, they couldn't reject me after the growth they received from me when I went from stuck at my Mortal Pathways to close to the 2nd Realm of my Transcendent Pathway.
They were actually hoping for another surge of growth, allowing not only them but also their denizens to feel the benefit of a world's progress.
At the moment, I along with the blob of Chaotic Will was hovering above the dark sky of the Chaosworld, watching the Space Oddities being slaughtered by my Companions and the dragon couple.
Since this place was about the size of a big city, each of them chose to separate themselves from each other, claiming an area for themselves to hunt down the Space Oddities. Well, except the dragon couple who's working together.
Being Space Oddities produced by a small Chaosworld like this, all of them were close to mindless puppets of the Chaotic Will. They didn't have the ability to think, all they had going for them was to attack those with Source Energy or follow the Chaotic Will's order.
Due to that, without any more commands from the Chaotic Will, they became like Space Zombies who would attack anyone they would see first.
As long as a hint of Source Energy fluctuated from my Companions, they would jump at them, all aiming to bite at the Source Energy and convert it to Chaotic Energy.
"Silence Source Energy Being! This one is not crying! This one didn't possess that concept! Destroy this world if you will but stop with the mockery!"
The Chaotic Will furiously rebutted. But being a small blob of chaotic energy, he's more like a puppy barking at me. His previously terrifying appearance was no more than a memory of the past.
Even his real self was already silent. He had already given up and accepted his loss against me or us.
"Huh? What's the fun in that? I will still go back in the future so you better work hard. I expect a lot from you. Compared to the other Chaotic Will I encountered, you're the cutest."
Now that I had the memory of my past life, I was thinking of a lot of possibilities. Chaotic Wills and Chaos World were just like another side of the same coin. It's also existing in this wide universe.
If I study this one, will I be able to understand some of the secrets of this universe that I didn't think of studying before?
With my theory that the path after fusing every Pathway and Source Energy type into is the understanding of this Chaotic Energy, then it might benefit me a lot.
No... Not just me... My Companions might also benefit from it.
But the first thing I had to do is to see if... my Adaptability will help me in understanding it.
It's currently at Level 3. Although the existing Chaotic Energy in space was still unadaptable, I didn't feel any discomfort with it anymore.
And that was evident here. No matter how abundant my Source Energy is, I should still be affected by it. However, that's not the case here. I can even calmly grab this incarnation of his without seeing my inherent Source Energy being corrupted.
In any case, not being affected and being able to wield it was a different story...
Should I raise my Adaptability to Level 4? But how? After reaching Level 3, it refused to budge from 0% even after I absorbed half a Chaosworld's worth of Chaotic Energy.
However, now that I think about this point... Considering the Level 3 Adaptability was just my former Divinity being turned to an Ability, leveling it up will be similar to how Divinities progress to the fifth stage.
"Cutest you say?! What a frivolous disrespect! This one will definitely ensure that the next time you set foot on my territory, you'll die a thousand deaths!"
"No worries. I can surely handle you even if you grow stronger than this. Anyway, isn't it nice to talk casually like this?" I patted the small blob of Chaotic Will and grinned.
Taking my mind off from the things I was thinking for a while, I scanned my gaze to my Companions working hard at decimating the Space Oddities that were born and created in this small Chaosworld.
Below, I just saw my Avelin smashing her greataxe to a score of Space Oddities. With her raw physical strength, even without Source Energy, she could decimate them easily.
There's also my Dannae, firing the guns she brought with her. She now adopted the style of a long-range attacker to fully utilize her Amplification ability. Her other assimilated pathways seemed to only supplement that.
The others were also shaping up their unique fighting style along with the equipment, skills and other enhancements they received these past months.
"Unbelievable! Source Energy being, will you stop being complacent?! You are in the presence of..."
"Heh... the presence of what? The Will born from Chaos? You're not unique, you know? Anyway, we'll leave after they finish all those Space Zombies..."
At this point, the tanks of Chaotic Energy inside the Space Vessels were slowly getting filled and apart from that, my Companions were also partly absorbing them in their bodies. Later on, I would have to help them expel those Chaotic Properties or it would be detrimental to their growth.
After silence ensued between me and the Chaotic Will, my mind went back to what I previously thought about.
Leveling up my Adaptability to 4. I didn't have any access to Level 4 Source Energy. That's only a Divine World would possess so it's possible to check on that part.
But what if... Chaotic Energy could really play that part? I had to try!
"By the way, Chaotic Will. On the off chance. Can you go with me?"
"The audacity to ask that question." Perhaps he was already tired of shouting, the small blob of Chaotic Will unenergetically replied.
Before his eyes, the Space Oddities had already dwindled to the point that my Companions, Ezyn and Yse was about to finish all of them in a few minutes.
"I mean. I am interested in Chaotic Energy. Source Energy and Chaotic Energy seemed to be the bane of each other. I can purify you but at the same time you can corrupt my Source Energy."
"... I'm the Chaotic Will of this Chaosworld. I am bound here."
With that kind of pause from the Chaotic Will... did he deliberate on how to answer? If that's the case... there's a possibility to prove my theory!
"So, no?"
"Of course!"
"What if I told you I have an ability that can connect you to me?"
World Assimilation.
That's right. If it's that ability then... there's a chance. But according to its description. I needed the consent of the World's Will itself but in this case, the consent of the Chaotic Will that was born from chaos and whose reason for existence was destruction.
