...…..
Back to our protagonist.
Dave was now floating in space.
Since the space world and the spirit plane had merged, the spirit plane disappeared like a bubble, causing a commotion that would surely attract the attention of many individuals.
Dave didn't hesitate to leave the place.
"Wew, a huge gain this time," Dave smiled.
He had not only comprehended 999 soul flowers, but he also had the entire spirit clan join him.
He had learned new things and believed he was the man in the memories, though he still hadn't learned much about his past life.
"I also had a connection with Yggdrasil,"
Dave's eyes became complicated, but for now, he decided to let things be and wait for the day when he would recover his memories.
Dave waved his hands and entered the Hall of Chaos.
Swoosh!
Dave opened his eyes and saw the two statues in the Hall of Chaos move when they sensed his presence.
It was the first time he had seen them move; he had always thought they were just statues.
The statues had been there since he gained the Hall of Chaos, and they had never spoken or moved. He had thought they were mere decorations.
The two statues were covered in armor and stood 30 meters tall. One was blue, and the other was red.
"Welcome, Lord of Chaos," one of the statues spoke, its eyes glowing red before both statues knelt.
"Oh!" Dave was stunned.
"Who are you?"
Dave was curious. The two statues spoke in unison.
"Lord, we are the guardians of the Hall of Chaos. Our names are Red and Blue.
We have just awakened our memories after you absorbed one of the fragments of the Hall of Chaos. There are eight more guardians who have not yet awakened."
Red spoke, his voice loud but respectful as he looked at Dave.
"Oh," Dave smiled.
Suddenly, Aby appeared on his shoulder and said, "Dave, these guardians are strong. Each of them can match a god in their prime, but they are weak now because the Hall of Chaos is incomplete."
Dave was stunned. He looked at Red and scanned his information.
===============
[[Guardian Red]]
[Power: ???]
[Loyalty: 100 (Max)]
[Background: The first God of Flames born in the universe but was defeated by the Chaos Lord and turned into a loyal subordinate. Granted the power of Chaotic Flame Essence.]
===============
Dave was shocked.
He looked at Aby, who smiled and said, "That's right. He was the first-born Fire God but was defeated by the previous Chaos Lord and became a subordinate. His godly essence was retrieved by the heavens, which chose to create a new God of Fire.
Even so, Red was blessed by the Chaos Lord and acquired the power of chaos, upgrading his fire powers. In terms of power, he might even be more powerful than the current God of Fire if Red reaches his peak."
Dave nodded, absorbing the information. Then he looked at the silent Blue, having a hunch.
===============
[[Guardian Blue]]
[Power: ???]
[Loyalty: 100 (Max)]
[Background: The first God of Water born in the universe but was defeated by the Chaos Lord and turned into a loyal subordinate. Granted the power of Chaotic Water Essence.]
===============
"I knew it,"
Dave said, not shocked now. He realized the other remaining guardians were likely powerhouses before becoming guardians of the Hall of Chaos.
"Is there a way for them to leave this place and help me fight enemies?"
Dave asked Aby, who smiled and nodded.
"Yes, you can summon the two anytime. They cannot die because they will be resurrected here if they fall, but summoning each of them requires you to sacrifice some of your lifespans."
"But this shouldn't be a problem for you."
"If they die outside, there is a cooldown before you can summon them again. There are other functions too. If you have a new contractor like Muller, you can send the two to help if necessary."
Dave nodded, realizing he had gained a lot this time. He felt confident now to roam freely in the Celestial Plane without fear of being killed by others.
He commanded the statue to return to their posts and then inspected the Hall of Chaos.
The hall had become more majestic.
The table and chair were still there, but their appearance had changed to something more imposing.
Dave imagined himself sitting there, a new air of authority surrounding him that would make any new contractors feel fearful.
"As expected of me," Dave laughed. Aby noticed his reaction but didn't interrupt his mood.
He also discovered a hidden door with a name on it: "Lake of Fate."
Dave realized the Lake of Fate had merged with his Hall of Chaos, and now he could use it.
Everyone inside looked at Dave as he appeared.
The ladies approached him, having never been in this place before.
Dave explained to them what had happened. The ladies were shocked, and even the members of the spirit clan were amazed.
"Lord," the spirit clan guardian and kings bowed to Dave.
They remembered the words of their goddess and realized following Dave was the right choice.
Dave waved his hands and said, "Guardians, you can leave your posts. The Lake of Fate no longer needs guarding since no one can enter without my permission."
The guardians nodded. Despite their immense celestial powers, they felt bound to Dave's will in this mysterious place.
"Since you've all chosen to submit to me, and the Goddess of Life told me to take care of you, don't worry, I won't mistreat any of you,"
Dave smiled reassuringly.
Dave explained that the entire Spirit Plane had merged into his own space, with his Hall of Chaos now supporting the Spirit Plane instead of the Lake of Fate.
They were astonished.
Dave waved his hands and Eldrich appeared before him, visibly stronger, his chaotic eyes showing he had comprehended 500 soul flowers, a monumental achievement.
"Lord, I've gained so much strength compared to before at this level,"
Eldrich said excitedly.
"Cough!"
Eldrich realized many were looking at him and quickly regained his composure, glaring at the guardians who pretended not to notice.
The ladies laughed. Dave patted Eldrich on the shoulder and shared a lot of information with him, instructing him to assist the guardians and kings back to the Spirit Realm.
Eldrich nodded and guided the guardians and kings to the Spirit Realm, where they could witness the vast changes in their home.
Dave was certain his other subordinates had also made breakthroughs, but he didn't know how powerful they had become.
