Affinity: Chaos

Chapter 475: Tales Of Gods

‘This place is amazing!’ Grey exclaimed internally while going through a book in the library.

He read some things here that he never knew of in the Azure continent, there was also information of the war that happened thousands of years ago. According to the book, that was the golden age of Elementalists, and there were even stories of fallen gods.

After reading the part about gods, Grey couldn’t help but think of the mysterious man who appeared in his consciousness, telling him he was the Chaos God.

He read more about it and found out that there was a bridge between this world and the world of gods. Once an Elementalist reaches the peak of this world, they would ascend into a world where gods stay. There wasn’t any knowledge about this realm of gods, only that it existed. But according to the book, even before the great war, no one had ascended to the god realm in thousands of years.

‘Hey, do you know about this realm of gods?’ He asked Void who was resting by the side.

Void wasn’t a fan of doing boring things like reading, so he naturally couldn’t stay with him. The only reason he was still in the library was because Grey refused to let him leave the building, according to Grey, he would cause too much mayhem.

‘Realm of gods? What’s that?’ Void raised his head, staring at Grey curiously.

‘It’s written here in the book, according to it, Elementalists grow to a stage and become gods,’ Grey explained.

‘Hmm… I have no knowledge of this, do you think I’m a god?’ Void suddenly asked.

‘Stop dreaming, you aren’t even as strong as a Sage Plane Elementalist yet,’ Grey sneered.

‘That doesn’t mean I can’t be a god. Have you thought of the possibility of me being a god but losing my memory and strength?’ Void asked.

‘Hmm, you do have a point there, but I’m not sure you are,’ Grey replied after a moment of silence.

He couldn’t help but think about it, Void has so many skills and some knowledge of things even though he hatched from an egg. Void could even be said to be more knowledgeable than Grey when it comes to some aspects.

‘You may never know, since there are gods, I’ll start referring to myself as a god then. There’s no way I’m on the same level as you mortals,’ Void said smugly.

Grey rolled his eyes when he heard this, they haven’t even been able to confirm if he was a god yet, but he had already started classifying others as mortals.

‘There are also secret realms here, places filled with treasures and danger,’ He added.

‘Wow, let’s go there!’ Void urged.

Grey turned to look at Void with a blank look, he couldn’t help but wonder how his head works, it was almost like he didn’t hear the danger he said.

‘As much as I’d like to go, these places are always owned by a family even the entire Azure continent can not fight against,’ He said plainly.

‘It doesn’t matter, we’ll dominate them all,’ Void said confidently.

‘Yeah, someday, I’m sure of it,’ Grey replied with the same confidence.

If others heard a magical beast in the Early stages of the Overlord Plane and an Eighteen year old who was still at the Peak of the Origin Plane were plotting how they would dominate the world, they would laugh their hearts off.

Even the youths of Grey’s age were already ahead of him in cultivation stage, yet he was speaking this boldly.

Grey continued reading while Void decided to go to sleep since there was nothing for him to do. After staying in the library for almost the entire day, he finally got up and left.

The duo went to search for a tavern to sleep, Grey planned on coming back to the library the next day. He was intrigued by the new things he was learning, so he wanted to know more.

During the night, Grey tried to recreate a small version of the array he saw that group using. Unlike the one the group used, he was using the power of seven different elements to fuel the array.

He naturally wasn’t able to make it immediately, but he was confident in being able to make it before the next morning. He was planning to modify his inscription array, so that he could use all his elements with a single inscription.

This hexagram array was the perfect thing he wanted to use in modifying it. Once he gets the best way of creating the array, he would start working on his inscription.

After watching Grey try to make the array multiple times, Void begged to leave the room, and to his surprise, Grey allowed him. With a wide grin, he vanished from the room.

Grey shook his head before focusing on his array making.

….

The next day, Grey once again went to the library. His main focus right now was acquiring knowledge, and he wanted to focus on that.

Three days soon went by with Grey spending the entire day in the library while spending the night working on arrays.

After three days of reading, he got some knowledge of this place. The continent is generally known as the Aurora continent, and it’s divided into five parts, the Northern, Western, Southern, Eastern, and Middle Continent.

There are multiple big families and factions in each of the continents. Unlike the Azure continent which had Academies, the Aurora continent had factions which would recruit talented youngsters each year. There are low, mid, and high grade factions.

….

“Grey, you have to check out the arena, there are going to be different battles today,” Void said pumped.

“What’s this about an arena?” Grey asked curiously.

Since leaving the first day, Void has always left him alone when he heads to the library to read.

He only decided to walk around the city today and Void was already recommending the arena to him.

“I assure you, you’ll like the place,” Void said, clearly hyped about the battle that was taking place today.

“Alright fine, let’s see the arena,” Grey agreed since he didn’t really have a choice anyway.
