Chapter 357 – Summons

"For now, all of you should rest after you get your bellies filled, if you want to you can return to my divine realm for the moment, if there is anything you left there." Said Chaos.
Because the interior of Chaos Divine Realm was where everything that was in Ginnungagap was moved into, mostly everyone had a home there where they often felt more comfortable, even if everyone already had their own divine realms where they could rest.
And indeed, just as Chaos thought, the majority went inside of his Divine Realm for the moment, although he had to quickly explain them what had happened, as there were some unexplained changes on it.
First of all, the entire land on it had become spherical, and had the size of a small moon, becoming something like a planetoid. And in this planetoid is where most of the things were.
Additionally, there was an "outer space" which was like a small cosmos, probably being the representation of Chaos' soul now being primarily composed of not jus Chaos but Cosmic Energy as well.
In there, Chaos had to explain everyone how things changed and also some explanations in how he acquired his powers back, all thanks to this mystical new energy and power, Cosmic Energy.
He also explained them about the Cosmic Energy he slowly regains over time through the power of the Universal Seed which had barely taken root on his soul for now, and it would need some more power for it to even grow a tiny bit bigger.
In fact, after some inspection of his new divine realm, Chaos realized there was a section of it that seemed strange, like an ocean of darkness, this was the section of his soul that held the last bits of Chaos left from his original soul, which was almost completely destroyed, the chaos ocean was slowly growing bigger over time, so he would regain his chaos energy as time went on.
But within this chaotic ocean, there was a small little, blue-colored sprout. It looked almost cosmic, as if it were made of bright blue nebulas or galaxies, but it was so small he was barely able to discern it.
When Chaos got closer to it, he found out it had small roots, and this tiny thing was giving him cosmic energy… This was the Universal Seed; he could even see it inside of his own Divine Realm.
He found it quite interesting, but it would be pointless to attempt to eat it or something, anything like that would be impossible, so he let the sprout alone. The seed seemed to feed on his chaotic energy and produce cosmic energy in return, an interesting cycle similar to plants but with carbon dioxide and oxygen.
Chaos flew back to the manor inside of his Divine Realm for the moment, he had told everyone to take the day off, eat as much as they wanted and rest, as tomorrow he would hold a special meeting with everyone to assess everything that had happened and plan what to do next as well.
For now, however, he wasn't going to rest himself, perhaps in a few hours, but for now he had a few things to do, first of all, he immediately decided to summon once more the Demigod and Living Deity, alongside the Aberrant Psionic Cthulhu, as he had promised them.
FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!
It had been truly a while since these three had died, and they all felt weaker than before dying, this was because although their power could slowly grow and accumulate over time to even reach higher levels of existence, if they die, they would naturally lose around 30% of their total power, so dying too much would completely reset them to their original strength.
The Aberrant Psionic Cthulhu looked at Chaos with surprise with her enormous eyes spread around her body, her pink and purple tentacles hugged him happily that she was finally revived.
"Thank you for reviving me, my lord!" she said.
"Don't worry about it. Anyways, what do you see when you're not revived?" wondered Chaos.
"Darkness… Endless Void… I don't know where I am or what I am, and it seems as if time is endless… But when I am finally summoned and revived, that darkness only becomes a memory, and not the eternity it felt back then." Said the Aberrant Psionic Cthulhu.
"I-I see… Perhaps your soul is caged somewhere inside of my soul." Said Chaos.
"I honestly don't really know, but it was certainly not your soul. If that were the case, I would had felt better than that… And I might had been able to talk with you, right? But I cannot do anything of that in there… I just… I wish to not go back there if possible." She sighed.
Chaos rubbed his chin as he nodded. It appeared that there was way more mysteries to Skills than he ever thought, especially the Summoning skills were always a mystery, especially because no matter how much these skills belonged to him and were part of him, he wasn't able to discern their true capabilities and very so often he didn't knew how they worked.
How was it possible for the Aberrant Psionic Cthulhu's soul to get there? How was it possible for it to come back? What if her soul is destroyed or eaten? Will she come back as her soul anyways or will she be another soul completely different but with the same memories?
He was pretty sure that he didn't ate the soul of the original Aberrant Psionic Cthulhu that he killed in space when he fought against the Mindflayers, so it could quite possibly be something else entirely, not the same soul, not the same original Aberrant Psionic Cthulhu, but somebody else's soul.
But where did this soul even came from? Was he connected to some sort of soul bank? Well, this was just the mystery of "Skills" that emerged within the System. While the "Abilities" were innate of a person and belonged to them completely, even if the System wasn't there, "Skills" were part of the System, and something that the system gifted to its users…
