"I’m you, and you are me. We’re both Ryder, and at the same time, we’re both Chaos," Chaos told Ryder, who seemed confused as to why he was talking to himself.

"What do you mean? Chaos? Do you mean that Chaos? The one that Janus talked about? The one that killed the Lord do Time? The God of Nothing?" Ryder asks, standing in shock.

"Yeah. That would be us," Chaos explained. ’We killed the Lord of Time. We are one. You’re just my personality that came because of living life on earth."

"You’re lying. I can’t be you. I’m not a god? I am a human. There’s no question about it," Ryder said, refusing to believe. "I’m certainly dreaming. It’s confirmed."

"You’re wrong. As I said, it’s the truth. We are the same person, and yes. You’re a god. Or should I see, you’re a fallen god that was sleeping, waiting for his awakening," Chaos explained, sighing.

"I think you won’t understand like this. I’ll need to tell you what actually happened and how I ended up on the earth," he continued as he snapped his finger.

With a single snap, an illusory screen appeared before the two of them, which showed the last great war of gods in which Chaos fought against the other gods.

Seeing the battle, Ryder was stunned. It looked like him. The man who stood before him was fighting against so many gods, and he wasn’t being defeated. He was certainly taking hits, but he wasn’t falling. Instead, he kept killing gods one after another.

No gods could stand before him. A multitude of attacks were coming towards him.

Ryder found it similar to his dream where he was attacked by so many gods at once for killing their sons. Still, the scene on the screen was even more massive.

Unlike his dream when he was being attacked by seven gods, Chaos was being attacked by hundreds of gods, all of whom seemed to have power to destroy anything in their paths.

Chaos started getting tired as the battle stretched for hours. And even though he was only taking a small bit of damage from all the attacks, they were also becoming a problem. He was looking really beat up by now. He was also bleeding from all over the place.

It didn’t seem like he could last longer. He was going to be defeated. Moreover, only half of the attackers were dead. A lot of them were still alive. It seems like he was certainly going to be killed unless he escaped.

"He?!" Ryder suddenly exclaimed as he saw another familiar face in the picture. It was none other than Janus.

" What’s Janus doing there?" he asked, but he soon got his answer as he saw Janus stab the heart of Chaos

And that’s when the war seemed to have stopped. Chaos dropped to the ground, unable to move. Blood came out from his lips as he stared at Janus.

Janus’ lips moved as he seemingly said something, but Ryder couldn’t hear anything. There was no voice coming from the screen.

Soon, Chaos’s body turned to dust as he forever disappeared.

"Why did he kill you!" Ryder asked, staring at Chaos. "Wait! If what you’re saying is true, then I’m your?! So Janus actually killed me in my last life? Why would he?"

Chaos snapped his fingers again, changing the scene. In this new scene, he was sitting on a throne, looking at a bracelet in his hand.

"Bracelet of Immortality?" Ryder asked, recognizing the bracelet.

"That’s right. The Bracelet of Immortality that you were wearing all this while was created by me," Chaos explained, smirking.

" You made that cursed thing? Why?" Ryder asked.

"I made it for the future. Unfortunately, I made a slight miscalculation," Chaos answered, sighing. "Anyway, that’s a question for later. Didn’t you want to know why Janus stabbed me? There’s your answer."

Ryder could hear the sound of footsteps that seemed to be coming from near him. But there was no one here.

"It’s coming from that?" He asked Ryder, realizing that the sound of footsteps was coming from Janus that was walking towards the throne on the screen. Unlike before, Ryder could hear the sound now, but the sounds seemed too realistic.

" Janus, what brought you here?" Chaos asked Janus.

"Brother, I’m here to ask you to run away. I got the information that the gods want to attack you. And it’s not just one or two gods but almost all of them," Janus told Chaos.

"Why do they want to kill me? I don’t think I did anything like that, did I?" Chaos asked, frowning.

"It’s because of that bracelet. They found out about it. And they know you want to make everyone immortal. They don’t want that," Janus explained.

"Ah, that thing. They did send a messenger to me to tell me to surrender the bracelet. I refused. But to think they actually want to wage war for it? Don’t they know how bad the consequences can be for them?" Chaos asked, wondering if all the Gods were suddenly idiots.

" Yeah. They didn’t take it all too well. They want to kill you and forcefully take it," Chaos said, sighing. "All gods agree with them. None of them want you to do it. Can’t you just drop the plan and give it to them?"

Chaos glanced at the bracelet in his hand. "Give this to them? They can’t handle its power. They’ll end up destroying themselves along with heaven. They’re all idiots. I can’t give it to anyone. I made it for a purpose, and until that purpose is achieved, I’ll keep it."

"Did you say all gods supported killing me? Lord of Space couldn’t have been one of them, right? What about Lord of Time? And Goddess of Destiny? I’m sure they didn’t support this, did they?" Chaos asked Janus.

Janus started looking down as he heard the question.

"Answer me!" Chaos firmly said.

"Goddess of Destiny said she would stay out of this war. She won’t support them, but she won’t support you either," Janus explained.

"What about the other two?" Chaos inquired.

"Lord of Space and Lord of Time agreed. They will support the other gods in the war against you," Janus said, knowing how bad it was.

"Hahahaha!"

Hearing Janus, instead of being sad, Chaos started laughing madly.

A scary aura spread everywhere. Feeling the intimidating aura, Janus understood that Chaos was seriously angry.

"My friends also sided with my enemies, huh. Good for them. But if they think they can take me down, they’re wrong," Chaos said.

"Brother, I know you can kill most of them, but their numbers are just too much. Please escape! Don’t fight them!" Janus insisted.

" Run away like a coward? I can do anything but run from a battle! It doesn’t matter if I’m fighting one god or thousands. It also doesn’t matter if I’m fighting an enemy or a friend. They can come. They’ll find me here. It doesn’t matter if I have support or not. I’ll face them alone!" Chaos said firmly.

"You’re not alone! Even if everyone left your side, just know. I’ll always be standing by your side! It doesn’t matter who our enemy is. If you decide to fight, I’ll fight with you!" Janus said firmly.

"How about I open a portal and let Dark Beasts through? You can control them. It’ll be easy that way. No one would dare to attack you then," he further suggested.

"Did you forget the oath I gave to father? I can’t ever use that power in this eternal life," Chaos replied, shaking his head.

As Chaos said it, he suddenly stopped as he realized something. "Wait a minute... In this life....?"

Janus wondered what Chaos was talking about. He suddenly fell into deep thought.

" Janus, I have decided. I don’t want you to fight with me. Instead, I want to die," Chaos said, sighing.

"What? What are you saying? I can never let you die!" Janus refused right away. "We’ll fight, and we’ll win, no matter who our opponent is."

"No. We won’t win. I want to die, and I want to die by your hands," Chaos said, shaking his head. "I want you to join them as well. I want you to attack me and kill me!"

"What nonsense are you spouting! I would rather die first than kill you!" Janus stated, refusing to budge.

"You don’t understand, little brother. Try to think objectively," Chaos said, sighing. "I’m not going to run away. So this battle is certainly happening. And there’s a good chance that I’ll die in that."

"And if you side with me, you’ll die as well. But if you side with them, you’ll survive. Moreover, if you will win their trust as well. As for me, I have this," he added as he showed the fragment.

"This Bracelet is just finished. So it doesn’t have its full power. All the fragments of this bracelet will take hundreds of years to gain their full potential. Until then, it’s not of much use."

"There is only this one fragment which can be used for now. And it’s what I’ll use," he further said as he touched a white fragment attached to the bracelet.
