Affinity: Chaos

Chapter 1270 Ninth Stage

Grey placed his hand on his mouth to stop himself from coughing out blood. 

Lucas walked over, ”Grey and I have some unfinished discussions, he will come back later.” 

With that, Lucas and Grey disappeared from the presence of everyone. 

Martha heaved a sigh of relief internally, while Greyʼs grandfather chuckled. 

Klaus felt it was a bit suspicious that Greyʼs father would take him like that, but he didnʼt care about it. Since Grey didnʼt defeat them, they were good. 

”Come on, letʼs go back with Aunty, there is more of that delicious meal waiting for us.” He urged the others. 

Martha was quite fond of Klaus, he was very talkative, and also a likable person, as long as he likes you too, if not, youʼd want him dead. 

Take for instance, while they were waiting for Reynolds and Alice to come, they encountered Eirik, the son of the Dawson Family Head. And from what she heard, Eirik wanted to fight with Klaus for some reason. 

Eirik was a proud person, but as he grew older, he had stopped being rash. The fact that he was prepared to fight with Klaus proved that Klaus truly was living up to his name of being able to annoy anyone. 

….

In the cave Grey was first taken to by Lucas when they first reunited. 

The second they appeared, Grey spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground weakly. 

”Thanks, Dad.” He said weakly. 

Klausʼ soft punch on the shoulder almost made him show them that he lost against them. With Klausʼ personality, Klaus would never let him hear the end of it. 

”Is he that bad?” Lucas asked. 

”Not really, but my pride wonʼt let me show him that he won. Heʼll get ahead of himself.” Grey replied after wiping the blood off his mouth. 

”I see.” Lucas gave an understanding nod, he looked at Grey and asked, ”The attack you used last, what was it?” 

”Oh, this?” Grey opened his palm and a weaker version of the chaos orb appeared. 

Making the complete one was still a little longer than usual, especially when he wanted it to be as powerful as the one he used some minutes ago. 

Lucas nodded as he inspected the chaos orb from closer inspection. 

He gasped and said, ”Itʼs a combination of eight elements.” 

He was marveled at the chaos orb. Seeing something like this was exciting, he never expected it would be possible to see something like this. 

”Did you learn this on your own?” 

”Howʼs it even possible?”

Grey saw his fatherʼs excited expression and couldnʼt help but laugh, now he understood where he got his intuitive personality from. His father was just like him whenever he saw something new he wanted to understand. 

”Youʼre the one who placed the thing in me. The orb was from a God, the Chaos God. There were a few things I could learn as I grow stronger.” Grey explained. 

When he told Lucas of the Fusion State, Lucas was left dumbstruck. He couldnʼt believe what he was hearing. Being able to increase your cultivation stage by eight stages was something that shouldnʼt be possible. 

If an Elementalists in the Second stage of any Plane fights against someone in the same stage as themselves, being able to increase your cultivation stage by eight means that the Elementalist can go from the second stage to the Peak of said Plane, completely overwhelming their opponents. 

This was something that shouldnʼt be allowed to happen. 

Luckily, Grey said he isnʼt able to use the State anymore, if not, wouldnʼt Grey be as strong as he once he gets to the Third stage of the Elemental Sovereign Plane? 

Well, since Grey was in danger from multiple people who wanted him dead, it wouldnʼt be a bad thing to have such a trump card. 

Lucas looked at Grey, ”You said thereʼs a world in your consciousness?”

Grey nodded. 

”Is it possible to take me in?” Lucas asked. 

”Iʼve never tried to take anyone else inside. Maybe it is possible.” Grey said thoughtfully. 

To be honest, he never even considered the possibility of trying to take someone elseʼs consciousness into the Chaos Space, but now that his father brought the idea up, he felt like trying it. Maybe others might also be able to benefit from this. 

”Alright, letʼs try it.” Lucas said with anticipation. 

Grey looked at his condition and replied, ”Iʼll need to rest first, Father.”

”Oh, yes, yes.” Lucas forgot about Greyʼs condition, he brought out an item and passed it to Grey, ”This will help with your healing process. You should be good as new within a few hours.”

Grey grabbed the pill and he could sense a massive essence stored within it. 

ʼHe wouldʼve never given me this is not for the fact that he wants to see if I can take him into the Chaos Space.ʼ Grey pouted internally. 

It couldnʼt be blamed, Lucas wouldʼve let him heal on his own, after all, he has the light element, but this was something he was anxious about, so he naturally wanted him to get back to his best state as soon as possible. 

Grey didnʼt say anything to his father and took the pill, he entered the cave and sat down cross-legged. 

Lucas set up some array formations around to keep Grey safe and make sure he doesnʼt get disturbed. Just to be extra sure, he sat down cross-legged outside the cave as he started to think of multiple possibilities. 

Only those close to Lucas have seen him in such a state. The same could be said for Grey, whenever there was something new, he was always like this. 

….

A few hours went by shortly. 

Grey finally opened his eyes, he sensed that he was about to break through to the Ninth stage of the Elemental Venerable Plane. He had been holding himself back for a while now, but he knew he finally wonʼt be able to stop himself anymore. 

A soft crackling sound resonated inside his body. 

He took in a deep breath, ”The Ninth stage.”
