Chapter 617: Is it too late to change your name now?
At the beginning of chaos, there is no distinction between hazy and indistinguishable.
This is the world as it first looked.
There are no concepts, no rules, no world.
Again, nothing exists.
As many similar myths recount, Kaos' was born in this formless and insubstantial space.
From the moment it was born, the name 'Kaos' was deeply ingrained in its consciousness.
It is unclear why it is called 'Kaos', though it is not clear of itself.
But it is precisely because of the assumption of such a 'name'.
In the consciousness of its first birth, the mission of 'Kaos' naturally emerged.
It will awaken and guide the flow of time.
It wants to open up chaos and expand the boundaries of space
It wants to divide the self and give birth to the world.
Because that's exactly what 'Kaos' is supposed to do.
And the 'offspring' that spun off from its body must also have their own names.
'Nyx', 'Erebos', 'Tartarus'.
The three of them separated from 'Kaos' and each received their own unique 'name'.
thereupon
The being called 'Nix' is transformed into the night of the world.
The being known as 'Erebos' has turned into the end of the abyss.
The being called 'Tartarus' has become Hell itself.
In the same way, these beings do not know why they have such a name and mission.
They don't even know the origin of their 'names'.
It's just that they have to do their job.
Because—
[Having a corresponding 'name' means that you must bear the responsibility that the 'name' represents]
The special chat box flashed in front of Victor again.
In front of him, the being who should have been called 'Kaos'.
After these words fell, its sleek, sculptural body began to disintegrate.
The bare darkness in the center of the chest quickly spread, gradually engulfing all other parts of the body into the deep chaos.
After the black hole's tug, only Kaos's bare red pupils remained at the skull.
Its neck was shattered like a withered rock.
Then, the darkness quickly shrank back, forming a tiny sphere.
At the same time, a heavy cloud of colloidal slime was spit out of the darkness and enveloped around the periphery.
The skull slammed into the gelatin, and as the mucus quivered, the skull and its red pupils were crushed mercilessly.
Between the dust fragments, it turned into a hazy mist that filled the interior of the gelatinous body.
Then, just as it had been at the beginning, the whole mass of gelatinous matter began to boil and stir.
Quickly swelled up and turned into the chaotic and bloated appearance of the beginning.
[Because my name is 'Kaos', I became Kaos]
[Ridiculously, I don't even know who Kaos really is]
It was just a silent text, but Victor could clearly feel a majestic emotion from the chaos.
It is full of helplessness, anger, compassion and even more complex emotional entanglements.
At this moment, he, as a 'player', may be able to understand everything that 'Kaos' has said.
The reason is, it's a game.
Whether it's a game or a film or TV show, 'mythology' elements are often incorporated to create a rich background.
And how should these mythological backgrounds be set?
It's simple, just learn from real-life myths and stories.
Therefore, for Victor, it doesn't matter whether it is Hades or the 'Kaos' in front of him.
Their names and abilities are borrowed from ancient mythology to match the game's character setting.
In the game, they will continue to perform their duties in the game, as they are described in mythology.
Just like Hades, he rules the underworld in the myth of reality.
In the game, there is also the underworld, and a god king is also needed as the boss character that the player fights against.
Thus, 'Hades' was born.
Therefore, the confusion of 'Kaos' can be answered by such a simple explanation for Victor.
But Kaos doesn't know he's a part of the game.
Eventually, when it began to question its own existence and name, it fell into a deep confusion.
[When I first recognized you, I realized that our existence may have been set up as a role]
[Could it be that in another higher world, there is also a god named 'Kaos'.] 】
[And I just borrowed its name]
[And you, the human who came here from that world]
[So you know everything about our world, including the abilities of every being]
Hearing this, Victor stood still.
But his gaze became more serious, staring deeply at the endless chaos beneath the sky.
Sensing Victor's reaction, 'Kaos' may have thought that his conjecture was close to the truth.
The chaos then twisted its large, mysterious body, creating an extremely unique chat box in front of Victor.
[Otherwise, how do you explain it]
[A human being who is limited by his lifespan, but knows everything about the whole world? 】
Victor never worried that his origins would be speculated.
The point is that no one will look at him through the lens of another world.
However, as the initial god of this world, 'Kaos' does possess sufficient wisdom.
Based on only the sporadic clues revealed by Victor, it roughly deduced Victor's origin.
But because of this, it will also be even more helpless to Victor.
Because it further confirms its conjecture.
Victor, indeed, comes from a higher dimensional world.
[The rules of this world can't bind you, maybe for you, our world is just a game]
The chaos in the sky saw that Victor was still silent, and his huge body began to tremble violently.
It seemed to merge with the two-color fusion of the obsidian plateau plain beneath his feet, and there was a sound that seemed to be a laugh but not a laugh.
[No wonder, you can carry those names that no one else can carry]
How can there be a person in the world who never fails? The only explanation is that there has never been a real opponent.
Even Hades, who prides himself on being invincible, never thought that he would be defeated until he met Victor.
However, Victor seems destined not to fail.
Why?
Because the name of Hades stands for 'Lord of the Underworld'.
But Victor's name is-
【Victor - Victor】
[The name you carry means that you have no possibility of failure]
[Even if you face many difficulties, you will break the waves and become the ultimate winner]
As the rule of the world, 'Kaos' has exhausted all means.
He even took the initiative to erase Victor's body and throw his soul into hell.
However, even in such a dead end, Victor still created a miracle in this impossibility.
Managed to get out of hell alive.
Seeing this, Viktor couldn't help but laugh softly:
"So you mean that I'm able to keep winning because my name is Victor?"
[Nope]
Strange and hazy handwriting resurfaced in front of Victor's vision.
The chaotic body in the sky lowered its neck slightly, staring at Victor with the mass of chaotic "heads".
[It is because you are confident that you will never fail, so you bear the name of 'Victor']
[The 'name' itself does not give you power, but it can guide you to become the predestined being]
[Never the wrong name]
"Yes."
Victor put his hands in his pockets and calmly looked at the chaotic body hanging from high in the sky.
Now, the only question in his mind gradually surfaced:
"I'm curious how you managed to go beyond the name 'Kaos' and derive so much information from it."
The chaotic body in the sky began to twist and deform again, and its massive body began to collapse and retract.
A dark rift seemed to tear open the space, and it changed back into the human form of 'Kaos'.
Perhaps because of the mention of the name 'Kaos', it will be forced to revert back to its 'Kaos' form.
But it didn't care, just stared at Victor with its scarlet forehead vertical pupils, and said:
[When I realized that I was named 'Kaos' and needed to take on the mission of 'Kaos']
[I know that I have to divide myself into five separate beings]
You know three of them, and you have overcome them.
[There is another one, your strength comes from her]
At this point, Victor felt Kaos' gaze locked on him.
But this time, its eyes were mainly focused on Victor's trench coat.
At the moment when the seemingly invisible gaze touched the trench coat.
The six paths were like small mountains, with different colors and different elements, and illusory shadows of different elements emerged from the trench coat.
Intense elemental fluctuations carried the power of nature and quickly spread out in this strange space.
Immediately after, the chat box in front of Victor lit up again:
[Naturally, she is also an existence that is separated from my name of 'Kaos']
[But at that time, she was not called by her current name]
As the Chinese characters in the chat box appeared, Victor was surprised for the first time.
[Her real name, it was supposed to be-]
