Odyssey of the Blind God

"This Chaos is different from the Chaos created by the Vengeance of Chaos ability," Nial mumbled to himself while perceiving the Chaos he had drained from the Veil.

The chaos fissure's Chaos was clearly different from the chaos his ability manifested. That was exactly surprising. However, what surprised him was that the chaos fissures' Chaos was superior to the Vengeance of Chaos.

'If I analyze the superior Chaos, I can enhance the Vengeance of Chaos, extract a stronger Chaos Essence, and create a stronger Divinity,' Nial concluded rather easily. There was only one problem.

To analyze the superior Chaos, he had to consume it as well. He had to comprehend it in its essence, quite literally. To do that, integrating it into his body would be the easiest. He had to integrate it into his body to use the superior Chaos Essence, either way.

Now that he figured out a way to comprehend Chaos a little easier by using the Veil's Chaos, he chose to change his approach a little.

It was not necessary for him to be in the Orion Shelter every single day of the year. Even the skyscraper project would advance pretty quickly without him. There were a bunch of other projects that required his funding, but that was already it. He could still pay for them even if he was not present.

Traveling all over the known Universe using Worldbridges, and Shadow sounded quite intriguing. The same could be said about fighting Veilures and devouring the Veils' Chaos.

'Maybe I can comprehend something useful from the decayed Chaos of the Veilures as well? Integrating it into the creation and extraction of the Chaos Essence would probably help quite a bit.'

Nial had spent a month or two in the mansion, or precisely in his research laboratory located deep in the ground beneath the mansion. His cultivation energy had already been comprehended and his understanding of the abilities bound to his body had also progressed considerably.

The biggest problem was Chaos. It was something that couldn't be considered an individual type of energy because nobody could really cultivate using Chaos.

Chaos was everywhere but nowhere at the same time. It was a weird type of matter, something that could exist in the form of life, but also in the form of currents. It had a specific form, but it was also non-corporeal.

All-in-all, Chaos caused lots of chaos in his head. Everything was a chaotic mess, and he felt like beating up a few Veilures in the hope to find some solutions to the questions that squirmed through his mind.

Nial had planned to ignore Dilan's group of people, the guardians of the Veils because he didn't really want to have anything to do with them. Many Ancients, Ancient Gods, and even Primordials had joined the group.

It was good to befriend them because their connections would be extremely helpful. However, he was pretty sure that the Advocate of the Pryards would be in this group as well. Nial wanted to search for the Advocate of the Pryards, but he wanted to make it seem as if he had no idea that something like an Advocate of the Pryards existed, in the first place.

Nobody really knew that he was in possession in Damian's memories, and the few people who knew were trustworthy. If Nial couldn't trust them, he might as well become a loner, and destroy the entire Universe. After all, if he couldn't trust the people he trusted the most, wasn't everyone shady and not worthy of his trust?

Nial wanted to search for the Advocate of the Pryard, but he had a plan in mind. Unfortunately, he had to make a few preparations before he could initiate the plan. He had to ascend godhood for his plan, and make sure that the Advocate of the Pryards would hear rumors about him.

The rumors would spread through Dilan's group of Veil Guardians, speaking about someone wielding dark energy closing Veils, and draining their chaos.

If possible, he wanted the rumors to be as mythical as possible. To achieve that, he would be using Shadow in its 100-kilometer-long original size as well!

Thinking about the plan he had come up with, Nial couldn't help but smile. He brushed his hair back and returned his focus onto the superior Chaos. The superior Chaos was slowly pulled inside his body where it mended with his cells. The destructive properties of the Chaos were disintegrated and fully ignored by Nial who breathed out cold air before he took a deep breath.

While filling his lungs with air, he infused bits of the superior chaos in the oxygen he had just inhaled. It was absorbed readily and pushed through his body, slowly nourishing his body.

Now that his body had already been tempered to the extreme, for close to a hundred years at that, Nial didn't sense big improvements compared to before. However, tiny improvements still existed, indicating that he was not yet in possession of a perfect foundation.

That had to be changed, which was even more reason to initiate the first steps of his 'pre'-plan; attract attention as a mysterious dark Original who controls a terrific Primordial beast.

Nial smiled at that thought. He finished absorbing the superior Chaos and teleported outside the underground laboratory.

Shadow emerged next to him and the two disappeared into space. They reached a Worldbridge not long after, which they entered. The duo emerged somewhere in a different corner of the Universe, where they traveled to one of the many Veils that had been marked on the universal map of the Universe.

Everyone had access to this map and it was regularly updated to make sure that everyone was informed about the dangers of the Universe. It was also important to pay attention to the map because many things could change and the universal's map was usually the first one to update the territories in certain regions.

That way one could even conclude which race had been annihilated, and which races waged war.

Overall, it was a pretty useful thing that could be used well to find Veils, which was exactly what Nial did.
