The Forbidden One, who was it?

Chaos wondered this as he swallowed the artifact carelessly.

He expected something big to happen, as he was swallowed in darkness and part of his consciousness, but not all, went somewhere else, a strange space of darkness.

What Chaos found was a large eyeball staring at him.

"Kill…"

"Hm?"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

"What?"

"Kill everyone! Slaughter everyone! Kill! Give me fresh blood!"

"…"

"I WANT TO SLAUGHTER THEM!"

"Why?"

"KILL!"

"You're being irrational."

"They tore me apart! How dare they! HOW DARE THEY!"

"…"

"Kill them! I will kill them! You too, kill them!"

"Who?"

"The ones that did this to me!"

"Who did this to you?"

"THEM!"

"Them?"

"…"

"…"

The eyeball realized something wrong was going on. Usually, a fragment of the Forbidden One wouldn't even be able to talk like this with someone else.

This was because it had such encroaching powers that they easily took over their hosts consciousness and devoured their minds, taking over them and converting them into dangerous creatures of darkness.

An ancient being, the Forbidden One that was tore apart long ago and spread across the Nyx Galaxy and its neighbor Galaxies… This being was now being spoken casually at?!

"Explain me a bit of what you are. I am genuinely curious. Do you feel bad for being eaten? I don't know if I can spit you out now." Said Chaos.

"Eaten? You ate me?"

"Yes."

"That's impossible! I cannot be eaten."

"I ate you."

"…"

"…"

"Well, I am leaving."

"Your mind! Let me eat it!"

"Why would I let you do that?"

Chaos disappeared from the darkness and left the entity to its own whim within this darkness.

He felt he gained a lot of capabilities, as a lot of info from this entity's soul fragment came into his soul and mind.

He suddenly got a bit of info of what it was really…

Long ago, a being of utter Abyssal Void Darkness emerged from a completely separate plane named Outer Void through a crack that once opened in the Universe.

He had landed near the Galaxy of Nyx. He was a being made of darkness in a form Chaos couldn't comprehend, other than just tentacles and red eyes.

He had caused chaos by merely existing, reaching through planets and devouring them whole to nourish itself, it slowly spread across the galaxy and began to draw souls as if it were filter-feeding in space itself.

The entities that governed this place noticed its presence when it began devouring too many worlds and souls, Gods, Great Gods, Supreme Gods, and many other beings banded together to defeat it in a battle that marked an era back then, many catastrophes happened, and even things called "Spatial Walls" were torn, destroying countless hidden worlds within them, but leaving a large "open space" within the Galaxies around the Nyx Galaxy.

This monstrous being possessed unprecedented power, so much that even after being defeated, it was still somewhat alive. They had to fragment him into large pieces and seal each piece in powerful artifacts, each artifact was given to the strongest entities that defeated it, which passed these artifacts to their descendants.

Through many years, this artifact was once lost and ended in many hands, landing in this man's hands, which subsequently ended in Chaos hand.

And he ate it.

His power began to overflow from his body like a stream of darkness… the fragment he ate was one of its eyes, a crimson-red eye!

The entity's leftover consciousness was left alone, as Chaos slowly absorbed all of its knowledge and understanding it held, while assimilating the body part into his own body.

"I-Impossible…! Y-You can't… Uuggaaaggh…!"

"You're annoying, die."

Chaos decided that having an annoying monster inside of him would be terrible, so he just decided to devour the last consciousness it had and assimilated everything.

FLASH!

Another stream of power showered him, now, he had full control, at long last.

His entire body overflowed with power. He had found a great loot in this artifact!

His essence began to refill several times, he went through stages at a fast speed!

His Existence Realm went from Rank 6 of the Pseudo Demi Deity up to Rank 7… and then… Rank 8!

"This…"

His Blood Core and Dragon Heart raised their Levels as well at Level X.

Ding!

[You acquired [Eye of The Forbidden One]

[All of your stats have increased]

[Your Existence Rank has reached Rank 8 Initial Stage!]

[You can now evolve]

Although Chaos didn't acquired any Ability or Skills, he acquired something simply named Eye of The Forbidden One.

Chaos who was inside of his room, which had been expanded to have a medium-sized kitchen at its side, where Abyss was cooking something for him.

When he unleashed all of that dark power, she slowly realized something odd was going on and came rushing here, finding him overflowing with power.

"L-Lord Chaos, what is going on?" she asked worriedly.

"Nothing, I just ate a thing." Said Chaos.

"O-Oh… Alright… Erm, are you okay?" she wondered.

"Yeah, nothing too much." Said Chaos.

"A-Alright! The food will be ready in a bit dear." Abyss went back to cook as Chaos sighed in relief. He looked at his own hands.

"Let's see… What is this power all about?"

He "activated" the eye as a sudden eyeball emerged in the middle of the palm of his hand.

"That's it? I can already duplicate my eyes through a similar mean…" thought Chaos.

However, the eye seemed way sturdier and stronger than just an eyeball he could make.

He fired the eyeball like a bullet, and it went through the wall with ease instead of being splattered, and when he concentrated mana into it, a powerful laser beam came out that vaporized the wall and left a large hole.

He was able to produce as many as he wanted too and make them fly around. He was able to produce as many as his Mana could sustain, and each one cost around 100 million mana, though it increases based in the size.

He could now attack someone with a group of ten floating eyes and pulverizing them with laser beams!
