Ascension of Chaos

Within the Tower of Sin

Laughter echoes all throughout the Tower of Sin, sending chills down the spines of every Successor of Sin who can hear. And in-between the laughs, the Successors of Sin hear Erebos' voice echoing throughout the Tower of Sin exclaiming, "At last! She is finally in my Domain!"

And at least half of the Successors of Sin inside of the Tower of Sin quickly begin to make their quiet exit from the Tower. Trying as hard as they can to not attract the Primordial's attention.

But Erebos himself sees them as clear as day since they're in his Tower. And he completely ignores them without a care.

Meanwhile the symbols of greed and lust flash brightly within his eyes as he stares at the girl within his Domain of the System Tower. As she walks through the hellscape full of demons. Each of which have different Sin magics.

And it doesn't take long for his plan to begin working.

Erebos feels his grin growing wider and wider as he watches Ashley assimilate one Sin related skill after another. Both of the mana manipulation type and other miscellaneous skills.

Rapidly increasing the girl's affinity for Sin magic in the process.

And making it more and more possible for Erebos to steal her away from Chaos and turn her into a Successor of Sin.

Into his True Successor of Sin.

Erebos continues laughing as his voice echoes throughout the entire Tower of Sin and even beyond it.

Even if I have to sacrifice every last one of my Successors, I will make her into my True Successor!

On the screen in front of him, Ashley gradually makes her way through the Domain. Slaughtering all of the monsters in it from the regular monsters to the boss. And she even quickly claims the Jewel of Sin before finally leaving the Domain of Sin after clearing the large castle at the center of the crimson wasteland.

Even after she finishes clearing the Domain and moves onto the next Domain, the Life Domain, Erebos just continues laughing.

Chaos narrows his eyes at the visitor in front of him.

The Primordial of Time.

Chronos.

The Primordial whose physical appearance is the closest to a normal human out of all the Primordials. With his only non-human visual trait being the clocks in his eyes.

And the only Primordial whose true form has never been seen by anyone.

Not even the other Primordials.

"Why are you here?" Chaos asks with a frown on his face.

Chronos stares at him for a second before glancing at the screen in front of him showing Ashley as she goes through the incredibly peaceful Domain of Life that is the only Domain of the System Tower that doesn't have any actual combat in it. Then he turns to look at Chaos again.

"An alliance," Chronos eventually states without another word.

Chaos raises a brow in surprise before staring at Chronos. With Chronos staring back at him.

Then silence fills Chaos's Tower of Chaos for several seconds as the two stare at each other without another word.

Eventually Chaos breaks the silence by asking, "You want an alliance? With me?"

Chronos nods his head and answers, "Yes. And the child."

Chaos stares in shock at the Primordial of Time. Because Chronos never works together with others.

He is completely detached from everything. Both other people and the events of the System.

This is the first time Chaos has ever seen Chronos take an interest in something.

Should I be happy that the first thing he's taking an interest in is Ashley? Or should I be worried?

Chaos silently ponders this as Chronos stares between him and the screen showing the Life Domain. But eventually Chaos lets out a sigh and says, "Alright. An alliance works for me."

Chronos nods his head at that before vanishing without saying anything else to Chaos.

Huh… I guess that's more like the Chronos I know.

Then Chaos glances at the screen in front of him as Ashley finishes off the Life Domain – the only Domain in existence without a boss or any battles at all – by finding the Jewel of Life.

And just a few seconds after turning his attention to the screen, he hears an announcement sent out through the entire universe from Chronos with the aid of the System.
