Chapter 62: Past Prototype (Skip)

THE CHAOS

In a world devastated by the wars of the Old Gods, humans can only lament their fate. The once blue sky is now always covered in black clouds, and the once fertile land has turned into a never-ending battlefield. However, amidst the devastation, there rose a man who refused to bow to fate. He is The Chaos, a man who believes in no gods, no fate, and desires only one thing-peace.

THE ERA

OF CHAOS

The Old Gods have ruled the world since unrecorded times in human history. They did not rule with wisdom, but with war and bloodshed. Each Old God had their own armies, artificial races that lived only to fight and destroy.

Among the ruins of civilization, humans were merely pawns. Most were enslaved, some chose to serve one of the Old Gods in order to survive. However, The Chaos was different.

"Why must we continue to live in fear?" he said to a group of survivors hiding in the ruins of an ancient city. "I will not submit. If there is no god to give us peace, then we must achieve it ourselves!"

He was no hero, no king. However, his words ignited the spirit of the remaining humans. Little by little, people began to follow him. Those who had been merely surviving now had a purpose: to fight the gods.

Chapter 2 - MEETING THE NEW GOD

On his long journey, The Chaos heard whispers of a being newly born from nothing-a New God.

Unlike the Old God who had existed since the beginning of time, the New God was born of the will that arose in the world. They were young, not yet at full power, and still searching for themselves. One of them was The Evil One.

The Chaos found him in an old temple ruin.

"You look different from other gods," said The Chaos.

The Evil One chuckled. "Of course. I was just born. I have no army, no kingdom. I don’t even know what my purpose is yet."

The Chaos looked at him deeply. There was something in The Evil One’s eyes that made him different from the Old Gods-ambition.

"If you want a purpose, come with me," The Chaos said. "I will defeat the gods. I will destroy this era of chaos and create a new world."

The Evil One raised his eyebrows. "And after all the gods are gone, who will lead the world?"

The Chaos smiled slightly. "Humans will decide their own fate."

An unspoken agreement was made between them.

Chapter 3 - THE FIGHT AGAINST THE OLD GOD

Together with The Evil One, The Chaos began to challenge the Old Gods one by one. With his intelligence, he devised a guerrilla war against the army of gods. Meanwhile, The Evil One, while not yet at full power, slowly began to absorb the essence of the gods they overthrew.

Battle after battle was fought, and humans began to believe that perhaps, for the first time in history, they could be free from the tyranny of the gods.

However, their victory caught the attention of the most powerful Old Gods.

One of them, Zephiron, Lord of Storms, took to the battlefield with an army of thousands of lightning demons. With a single strike, he destroyed the entire city that was the headquarters of The Chaos and his followers.

The Chaos was blown away, his body nearly crushed by Zephiron’s divine power. However, in that moment, The Evil One showed his true colors.

With eyes glowing red, he absorbed the energy of the dead soldiers. His hands split the sky, and from nothingness, came an unprecedented power-absolute darkness.

Zephiron frowned. "What is this...? This is not the power of the Old God!"

The Evil One laughed. "Of course it isn’t. I’m not a god like you."

In one strike, The Evil One engulfed Zephiron in infinite darkness. The storm god roared, but his voice soon faded from existence.

For the first time, an Old God had truly died.

And with his death, something greater was born.

Chapter 4 - THE BEGINNING OF A NEW DISASTER

After Zephiron vanished, The Chaos stood up with a gasp. He looked at The Evil One, who now looked different. An aura of darkness enveloped his body, and the look in his eyes was full of unprecedented power.

"You just killed an Old God..." muttered The Chaos.

The Evil One smiled. "I didn’t kill him. I swallowed it."

At that moment, The Chaos realized something-they were no longer on the same path.

The Chaos was fighting for human freedom.

The Evil One was fighting for something greater-absolute power.

"Did you betray me?" asked The Chaos, his voice cold.

The Evil One chuckled. "No, I didn’t. I just found my own purpose."

And with that, he disappeared into the shadows, leaving The Chaos with an indescribable feeling of bitterness.

Chapter 5 - TWO ROADS TO THE END

The Chaos finally succeeded in overthrowing the Old Gods, bringing humanity into a new era without tyranny. However, in the distance, he always felt the presence of The Evil One-a creature that was once his ally, but has now become the world’s greatest threat.

The peace he dreamed of has finally been achieved, but behind it, a new threat has been born.

The Chaos knows that one day, he will have to fight again.

Not against the gods.

But against something darker-his own old friend.

THE SHADOW BEHIND THE PEACE

Ten years have passed since the era of the Old Gods ended. Humans were finally free to determine their own destiny. Cities began to rebuild, civilization slowly rose from the ashes of destruction.

However, The Chaos knew that this peace was only temporary.

In every nightmare, he saw the figure of The Evil One, growing stronger, further away from the creature he once knew. Shadows that split the sky, whispering voices that echoed in the darkness.

And that day came.

In the middle of a starless night, a mysterious army appeared at the border of the human city. They were not the creatures created by the Old Gods-they were something new. Shadows that moved like mist, without faces, without voices. The only sign of their existence was the red light shining in the darkness.

Before them, stood a man with black robes and eyes glowing like blood.

The Chaos stared at him from the top of the city wall. "So you’re finally back."

The Evil One smiled faintly. "I never left. I was just waiting for this world to be ready to accept its new destiny."

The Chaos clenched his fist. "I spent my life destroying the gods, so that humans could live freely. And now you come to replace them?"

The Evil One stepped forward, and the shadows around him moved wildly. "You’re still caught up in that idea of freedom, Chaos. I see something bigger."

He raised his hand, and the sky changed. Black clouds gathered, and from out of the darkness, shapes that could not be explained by human reason appeared.

"It’s not just this world that must be changed," The Evil One continued. "The entire reality must be reshaped. I have seen the truth behind our existence. And you, my friend, are still trapped in the narrow thinking of man and god."

The Chaos took a deep breath. "I will not let you turn this world into something unrecognizable."

The Evil One smiled. "Then fight me."

And with that, a war bigger than ever began.

THE RISE OF THE NEW LORD

The Chaos leads the remaining human forces, against the increasingly powerful forces of shadow. Battles are fought in every corner of the world, from the ruins of old empires to the new lands created by the chaos of The Evil One.

However, there’s one big difference compared to previous wars-this time, they’re not fighting a god that can die.

The Evil One is not just a New God anymore. He has transformed into something more. Every time he was destroyed, he returned, stronger than before.

"He no longer has a fixed form," said a scientist from the last city of man. "He is a concept. As long as there is fear, as long as there is destruction, she will always exist."

The Chaos realized something terrible.

In the past, The Evil One was born from the will of the world to fight against the Old Gods. Now, he had become something more than a god. He was darkness itself.

And darkness cannot be killed.

Chapter 8 - THE LAST

SACRIFICE The Chaos stood at the top of the black mountain formed from the bodies absorbed by The Evil One. At the peak, the dark god was waiting for him.

"You know this is futile, don’t you?" said The Evil One, his voice echoing in the freezing air.

The Chaos drew his sword-the last weapon forged from the essence of the Old Gods he had slain. "I don’t need victory. I just need to make sure you can’t destroy this world."

The Evil One smiled. "You’ve always been stubborn."

The final battle began.

The Sword of Chaos cut through the darkness, but The Evil One always came back. Every wound he suffered only made him stronger. The world around them began to change, slowly being swallowed by the void.

Then, The Chaos realized one thing.

He couldn’t kill The Evil One. But he could sacrifice himself.

Without hesitation, he removed his sword and grabbed The Evil One’s chest. With the last of his strength, he fused the consciousness of both of them.

"What are you doing?!" exclaimed The Evil One.

"I will become part of you," The Chaos replied in a weak voice. "But you will also be a part of me. I will make sure you can never fully win."

The Evil One roared. The world around them shook.

And then-silence.

THE NEW ERA

When the sky cleared, the world had changed.

There was no more Old God. There was no more New God. And there was no more The Chaos.

Where they stood, only ruins remained.

However, humans forged ahead. They built new cities, created new civilizations. No one knows whether The Chaos has won or lost.

But in the heart of every human, there is a small voice whispering.

The Chaos is not dead.

He exists in every human who fights for freedom.

And in the distance, among the remaining shadows, there is another whisper.

The Evil One is not dead either.

As long as there is darkness, as long as there is ambition, he will always be waiting.

And someday-they will meet again.
