As Tartarus spoke, the deep abyss trembled slightly, causing the vast earth to shake as well.
Sacred light blazed brightly as Gaia, the goddess of the earth, appeared between the earth and the abyss.
She opened her beautiful eyes and spoke softly: “Dear Tartarus, what brings you here?” Tartarus said, “My beautiful sister, you just mentioned that this splendid land contains many chaotic elements that you need to suppress.” “These chaotic sources continue to harm you, which greatly distresses me, and I wish to help you.” “How can you help?” Gaia’s eyes suddenly widened, and she spoke quickly: “Various chaotic sources are scattered throughout the earth, constantly devouring it and destroying my body.” “I am the earth, governing everything upon it, but I cannot eliminate the chaotic source—I can only suppress it.
Tartarus, do you truly have a way to remove the chaotic source within me?” As she spoke, hope gleamed in her beautiful eyes.
“I am not certain, but I am willing to give my all and do everything I can to help my sister,” said Tartarus.
“Like the abyss, my body also contains all kinds of chaotic sources.
I cannot say which has more—the abyss or the earth.” “But unlike the earth, the chaotic source has not destroyed the abyss; it merely plunges my memories into chaos from time to time.
I suspect that the chaotic source has caused you far more harm than it has caused me.” Tartarus lied.
The abyss was born from the fusion of countless chaotic sources; it was the embodiment of chaos itself.
Chaotic sources posed no threat to it.
As for memory distortion?
That was entirely his own invention.
He paused, his tone serious: “And so, my sister, for the beauty of the earth and to help you be free of this pain, I wish to receive the infinite chaotic essence within you.” “If possible, please direct the chaotic sources you cannot eliminate into the abyss through the earth.” “You would take the chaotic source that is destroying the earth?
Are you certain?” Gaia, the goddess of the earth, felt both tempted and reluctant.
In Greek mythology, Mother Earth was not a symbol of beauty, but of madness and recklessness.
She had played a key role in both divine wars in the Chaos realm.
But now she had not yet become that later figure—she was merely a newborn.
Tartarus said, “The abyss is full of chaos, the earth is beautiful, and I am willing to accept the chaotic source so that you may suffer no longer.” “My brother, although the abyss is full of chaos, your heart is beautiful.
You have been so kind to me, which makes me very happy and blessed.
But…” Gaia, the goddess of the earth, was still somewhat uneasy.
Tartarus spoke first: “Sister Gaia, do not worry.
The chaotic source only causes periodic confusion in memory—it causes no pain.” “You can try first to introduce a portion of the chaotic source into the abyss.
If I feel I cannot bear it, I will tell you.
In the Chaos realm, there are only you and me.
I want my sister to be free of pain.
Trust me—I can do this.” “Well…
alright!
Thank you, my brother.
I will surely repay your efforts in the future.” The expression on Gaia’s face grew serious.
“The destructive power of the chaotic source is too great; I need to control it at its peak capacity.” After she finished speaking, the sacred light dispersed, and Gaia vanished.
Tartarus, being the abyss itself, felt a very slight trembling from the earth.
After some time, ten black, thread-like chaotic primordial forces slowly pushed through the boundary between the earth and the abyss, surging from the earth into the abyss.
Tartarus commanded the abyss to absorb the chaotic source of the ten black threads, swiftly devouring it and fully integrating it into the abyss, making it a part of the abyss, indistinguishable from it.
This chaotic source gave him a sense of familiarity, as well as a measure of comfort.
Like a child who had always belonged to him, returning home.
It was as if a part of his own body was returning, filling him and giving him a sense of comfort.
At that moment, Tartarus’s mind was once again filled with a familiar message…
“The world’s first devourer has been born, and a fragment of the Divine Spark of the God of Devouring has been obtained.” “For the first time in the world, a chaotic source has been absorbed and fully integrated, and a divine origin has been born from the god of the abyss, obtaining a fragment of the divinity of the god of chaos.” Within the invisible sphere of light, two additional fragments of divine essence appeared from nowhere, different from the fragments of deceptive divine essence—they were also irregular in shape.
The Book of Creation automatically turned to the third page.
God of Chaos God of Chaos – Divinity (Incomplete – 1%) [Complete Method: Successfully suppress the chaotic source several times.] The Book of Creation automatically turned to the fourth page.
God of Devouring God of Devouring – Divinity (Incomplete – 1%) [Complete Method: Successful absorption several times.] “A fragment of the God of Chaos has appeared!
Excellent!
As long as I continue absorbing the chaotic source and fully attain the God of Chaos, I will be able to achieve deification.” Tartarus felt a surge of excitement.
The five primordial gods born from Chaos, as well as most of the gods that would come later, were deified at birth and possessed divine bodies.
As one of the primordial gods, he had not yet achieved deification.
Despite possessing immense power within the abyss, he did not wish to remain forever in his original form.
“Tartarus, are you alright?” Gaia, the goddess of the earth, asked uncertainly.
“It has no effect on me at all, sister Gaia.
You can channel a hundred times more of the chaotic source into my body,” said Tartarus.
After a pause, Gaia said with difficulty: “At this moment, I cannot increase it a hundredfold.
I can govern everything on the earth, but these chaotic sources do not belong to the earth.
I need to use ninety percent of my divine power to suppress the chaotic sources so they do not harm me.” “To expel the chaotic source into the abyss requires only a small amount of divine power.
At present, I can only increase it to three times what it was before.” “Once a significant portion of the chaotic source is expelled from my body, I will be able to use more divine power, and the amount will grow further.” “Three times is also good—I can handle it.
Do not hesitate; expel those chaotic sources that harm you.
For the good of the earth!” Tartarus said magnanimously.
Though he could not be certain, he estimated that the traces of chaotic source he had just observed likely accounted for less than one hundred-millionth of the chaotic source on the earth.
The gods of the Chaos realm possess eternal life and do not die.
The three other primordial gods had not yet been born, and no other gods had been born either.
There was only the abyss and the earth—but Tartarus was in no hurry.
The earth expelled the chaotic source…
The abyss devoured the chaotic source…
