"He might be better inside the Abyss, but for how long? In that darkness... In that loneliness... No one should even have a life of isolation like that. Being related to the Abyss isn't a crime. He doesn't deserve to die or be killed, all because of his association."
Chaos had already gone through it all, from never receiving his father's love, to living a life of isolation. At least he had his brother to keep him sane, but this child... He had no one inside the Abyss. He couldn't abandon the kid.
"But can he even survive outside? His life essence is running out. It's as if he isn't supposed to be outside the Abyss..." Janus stated.
"If he isn't suitable to live outside, then I'll make him suitable! If his parents abandoned him, then I'll accept him! If his life essence is running out, I'll give him mine!"
Chaos never expected himself to be married, let alone ever having a child. But as soon as he held the boy in his arms, he made up his mind that he wasn't going to let the boy die, or live a life of suffering in isolation.
Chaos reached out his finger, to place it on the little boy's forehead. He was coming to give a fraction of his own life essence and blood to the boy, all to make him live.
However, as soon as his finger came closer to the boy's face, the little boy grabbed his finger with his tiny hands, like a cute little child.
Seeing his reaction, a smile appeared on Chaos's face.
Watching his brother smile, Janus was taken aback. Even since his father made him take the Heavenly Oath, revealing clear disgust, he had never seen his elder brother smile.
He didn't even remember when was the last time his brother smiled. But seeing his brother smile, Janus felt so happy. In his heart, he thanked the little boy.
"Don't worry. I won't let you get hurt," Chaos spoke, as he carefully freed his finger. He placed his finger on the forehead of the little boy, transferring his own life essence and blood to the boy.
A god's life essence was their everything. They never shared it with others, even if it was a fraction. Only the children of the Gods inherited their Life Essences. However, Chaos didn't care.
He didn't hesitate even a little, even if it meant that he was accepting the unfamiliar child as his son, granting him everything.
The boy's breathing became a bit more stable as soon as Chaos transferred some of his life essence. He stopped only when he felt that the child wasn't able to take in any more of his Divine Life Essence.
Unfortunately, the child still hadn't healed completely. He needed more life essence, but Chaos couldn't do it without harming the child. He needed a different type of life essence which was strong but had a different core.
He couldn't take it from Janus, since he had already transferred enough Divinity. Any more Divinity in the child was harmful for him, but he still needed something strong enough.
As he was lost in thoughts, he suddenly thought of something. He pulled out his Sword, which was tainted with Ezekiel's Blood. Ezekiel didn't have Divinity, but his life essence was almost as strong as the Divine Gods.
Chaos used the blood on his Sword, and transferred the life essence and the blood from the sword inside the little child. Moreover, he was also born and lived outside the Abyss, so his life essence also did the job.
His body stabilized even more as more life essence was transferred. Usually, even the tiniest fraction of such a strong life essence could kill an ordinary godchild, but the little Boy was able to take a lot more.
With each infusion of the powerful life essence, the boy's body grew stronger and more resilient, adapting to accommodate the divine power flowing through his veins.
The boy's breathing finally stabilized. His fragile body healed, making him appear at least as good as a healthy mortal child.
"He looks better now. But how will we solve the problem at home? The others would still not be fine with a child of unknown source, brought from the Abyss. We would need to take some precautions to hide him," Janus suggested, while sighing in relief that the child was better.
"I won't take him home," Chaos replied, even though he didn't like this decision either. "If I take him to the realm of gods, how will his life be? If we simply hide him always, how would it be different from the life of loneliness that I want to prevent for him?" Chaos asked in return.
ραndαsΝοvεl ƈοm "I want him to live a life that I couldn't get... A normal life where he won't have to hide. A normal life where he won't be hated by everyone. And that's why, I've decided... I won't take him to the Realm of Gods."
"You won't? Then where will you take him?" Janus asked, but Chaos didn't answer. He simply opened a portal and disappeared with the child.
However, Karyk already knew the answer. From here, Chaos went to the lower realm where he found the person that Karyk always knew as his father.
Chaos not only helped his father take care of all the enemies that could threaten Karyk's life in the future in the lower world, but he also brought him to a position of the King, so that Karyk could have a life of luxury and happiness.
*****
Back in the Realm of Gods, the old Rebel God was still in disbelief.
"A child with the life essence of the strongest god to walk this world Chaos, and the life of a demon who wiped half the gods in his anger, Ezekiel! This child... And that's not all. His unknown origin can't be ordinary either... Just what is this child?"
The old man couldn't believe that the past of Gabriel was this complicated. If he hadn't read it in the books of the Divine Author, he never would've believed it either! He finally understood why Caen tried to kill Gabriel!
It was because Caen somehow found out that Gabriel had the life essence of Chaos, which made him a candidate for the Throne in the Realm of Gods! Moreover, Gabriel's origin was even older than Caen, which meant he was the rightful King of the Realm of Gods!
