Chapter 7: Chaos and Blank
As I go up to the Eleventh floor, the surroundings start to change. From the gloomy color from the last floor, it then starts turning into something more chaotic. The colors become mismatched, and the texture also becomes messy. When I finally reach the Eleventh floor, everything then changes abruptly, as everything turns into the purple theme with a hint of jet black. Then suddenly, I can hear the sound of something flying really fast coming toward me. That thing then lands in front of me, I then close my eyes due to the gust that it releases when landing, and when I open my eyes, I see it is a black dragon with a hint of purple and orange on its wings and body.
The dragon then looks down at me before leaning its head toward me. I then smile and caress its head gently as I realize who this dragon is.
This black dragon is Chaos, the Primordial Dragon of Chaos. The being was born when this Monocosm was first created alongside another being.
Chaos was created by combining almost all of the Unstable fragments that were created when this Monocosm was created with a tiny bit of Voice's power.
Chaos can absorb the Unstable fragment freely to strengthen himself without any problem.
When Voice saw this, he then got curious and started researching it, and when he knew how Chaos could absorb the Unstable fragment without any problem. He then creates a technique that allows anyone to absorb the Unstable fragment with low risk. He then starts modifying this technique so that only the ones that he deems fit can use this technique, which are now the members of the council.
Chaos is incredibly powerful, he can utilize the power of Unstable and Chaos to attack anyone that he sees as a threat. Its attack is strong enough to erase any beings in existence easily.
While I was scratching its chin and caressing its horns. Chaos then opened his mouth, and a big, deep purple crystal with large orange cracks and small black cracks flew out and floated in front of me.
I then look at the crystal before looking back at him. "You want me to have it?"
If I remember correctly, the crystal in front of me is the thing that Chaos condensed after absorbing countless of Unstable fragment while infusing his draconic energy into it. This crystal is the Chaos Crystal that holds immense energy that runs almost indefinitely, it can turn into any type of energy no matter how complex or weird they are. And the larger the crystal is, the stronger they are and the more difficult they are to condense. And the one in front of me has the size of a normal human skull.
He then nods his head. I then gladly take it and put it in the inventory. A notification then pops up "Detect soul-bondable item, Chaos Crystal. Would you like to bind it to your soul?" I then accept and feel there is a connection between me and the crystal.
He then turns around, lowers his whole body, and turns to look at me. I then look at him and his back. "You want me to hop on?"
He then nods. I then climb onto his back before he straightens his posture, he then spreads his wings and takes off.
I then start looking around the floor and see that the space inside is way vaster than I expected. While we were flying, he then dove down to a lake that is pure white. I don't know what he is trying to do, but I trust him. I then close my eyes and hold onto his back as we then dive straight into the lake.
But the cold and wetness of water didn't come to me, instead I feel like we are still flying. I then open my eyes and see that my surroundings have changed once again.
Instead of the chaotic theme of the previous place, this place is empty with nothing in it.
We then keep flying until he starts slowing down before landing on an island. I then get off his back before looking around.
The island that we land on is very different, the surroundings don't have any color, everything on this island is like a rough sketch of an artist that is beginning to draw something. Everything is simple, no color, no depth, no shade, just simple drawing.
I then immediately realize where we are. We are in Blank Void, a place that has nothing in it and could contain any type of energy, but inside this space holds a concept that any being in the whole Beyond Realm wants. The concept of Nothingness. Any being that had mastery over the tiniest fraction of Nothingness knows how overpowering it is. It can create anything from nothing, from creatures, items, powers, and abilities to even concepts; as long as you can imagine it, you can create it without paying any price. But there is a twist, there are only two ways to obtain this power. The first and also the easiest way is that you have to be noclipped into the Blank Void.
The chance of you getting noclipped is already extremely low, and getting noclipped into Blank Void is even lower, as you can only do it in your first noclip. If you can't do it in your first attempt, then you won't have another chance, as you are already dead due to your body not being strong enough to handle the immense energy of Nothingness constantly invading your body, until all the energy inside your body is completely replaced with Nothingness.
The other way is related to the moment when you fail to enter the Blank Void. If your body is strong enough, or due to having dog shit luck, then you can acquire some amount of Nothingness along with a little piece of knowledge related to it, including a warning that warns you to not disclose any information about the Blank Void, or else the Nothingness inside you will consume and erase your existence. So yeah, don't think that having the Nothingness in you, you can do whatever you want.
I then start looking around until something lands in front of me silently, and when I see it, a smile appears on my face. The one that landed in front of me is another dragon, but in contrast with Chaos, this one looks like a dragon that was drawn using a pencil. This dragon is the owner and also the guardian of Blank Void, its name is Blank. The Primordial Dragon of Nothingness.
Blank was created alongside Chaos when Voice created this Monocosm. By combining the excessive amount of Nothingness with a tiny fraction of his power, he shaped it into the dragon as it is now. Due to having Nothingness as her source of existence, she can freely use and manipulate Nothingness however she likes without receiving any backlash.
Blank can also absorb Unstable Fragment easily, just like Chaos, but unlike how Chaos did. Blank turns all the energy inside the Unstable Fragment into Blank-type energy and absorbs it. Voice saw this, so he then created a technique to allow all the members of the council to turn the energy inside their bodies into Blank-type energy and then that energy back to the type of energy that is suitable for them.
I remember that when I first created these two before I died, I didn't think much that time. I just created Chaos based on the Chaos Guardian from a Minecraft mod called Draconic Evolution. With Blank on the other hand, I created her due to some inspiration that I got from watching Highschool DXD, with her being the Ancestor Dragon of all dragons in that anime. But over time, I start to change and tweak the background of the two from time to time until they are now today.
I then snap out of my trance when I feel something coming my way slowly, it is a dragon scale, but not just any dragon scale, it is a reverse dragon scale. But Blank's Reverse Scale is completely different from a normal reverse dragon scale. It's not her weakness, it's in fact the strongest thing that she possesses to this day. Due to being the first thing that she ever has, the scale has been absorbing all the Nothingness and being tempered to the point that it can turn into any food type item that I can imagine, and I mean any food type item, no matter how ridiculous that food can be. From a simple thing like a normal apple to even a forbidden apple of the Eden Garden, but there is a catch, it can only turn into something that the user can handle and use properly, which means depending on how strong its user is, it can either be incredibly useful or very useless.
I then look at the scale and look back at her. "Are you sure that you want me to have this? You do realize that giving me something like this could go very bad, right?"
She then nods her head and pushes the scale closer to me. I then sigh heavily before reluctantly taking the scale and putting it in Tree's inventory. Another notification then appears in front of me. "Detect soul-bondable item, Blank's Reverse Scale. Would you like to bind it to your soul?" I then accept, feeling the connection between me and the scale.
I then caress her head gently. "I don't know what you were thinking when you gave me this, but thank you. I will put it to good use."
She then closes her eyes, enjoying my caress. While Chaos looks at us, before coming closer to me and nudging my hand a little, I then look at him, smile, and also start caressing his horn and head. After I play with the two of them for a long time, we then return back to the pond that led us here. I then climb onto Chaos's back and wave goodbye at Blank. "Take care, ok?"
She then came closer to me and rubbed her head against my face before dropping something onto my lap; it was her soul card. I then pick it up and smile at her before putting it away. "Thank you, Blank."
Chaos then goes near the white pond before diving down with me on his back as we then return back to his floor. He then uses his power to open a space crack, and a card drops down in front of me, it was his soul card. I then pick it up before putting it away and get off his back.
"Thank you, Chaos." I then wave goodbye to him before turning to the staircase that leads to the upper floor.
A window then appears in front of me, showing me the progress of unlocking the mod. "Due to interacting with the Primordial Dragon of Chaos and the Primordial Dragon of Nothingness, master has progressed some mods; these mods are Thorium (80%), Calamity (85%), Calamity Infernum (85%), Wrath of The Gods (80%), Calamity Overhaul (85%), Fargo's Mutant with Fargo's Soul (90%), Fargo's Soul DLC (85%), Fargo Equipable Inventory (70%), and The Star Above (88%)."
I then close the window before going up the stairs. "Time to meet the king of Neverware."
