Chapter 143

"Avatar of Chthon? What do you mean by that?" Mayday asked furiously, confused by the term. Even I had not heard the name of Chthon before.

"Who cares?" I said as I created a red lightning spear in my hand. The most important objective right now was to subdue Magnus and reobtain the ritual box which was his objective.

With this thought in my mind, I swung the spear at the red barrier. However, to my surprise, my red lightning spear which had not found its match till now only managed to create a few ripples on the barrier.

"Ha! It's useless. You can't be pierce through this barrier as it contains the power of my lord Chthon. In fact, you should be proud that you could create even a few ripples on it, Albion." Magnus said, sneering at my attempt. His personality seemed completely different from the shy boy earlier.

"In the most secret books available only to the Sorcerer Supreme, Chthon has been said to be an extremely powerful interdimensional being of incalculable power. Moreover, it is said to be a malevolent entity. How did a Spider-Man like you fall into its grasp and became its Avatar?" Dr. Strange asked seriously, finding it odd that a Spider-Man would ever serve such a malevolent entity.

"What you don't know is that my lord Chthon is the source of Chaos Magic in the entire multiverse. As such, he can be called the God of Chaos. My mother and I as well as every other Chaos Magic user in the entire multiverse obtains this power from him. As such, we are his indirect vassals." Magnus explained his connection to Chthon.

"Why am I even explaining it to you? It's time for me to begin my work for which I came to this world." Magnus said as he channelled his Chaos Magic into the ritual box.

The magic circles contained inside the ritual box turned red due to the influence of Chaos Magic and suddenly released a huge red beam of light towards the sky.

The evening sky turned red due to the red beam of light and intense spatial fluctuations could be felt soon enough.

"Just what have you done, Magnus?" Dr. Strange said in a horrified tone as he looked at this phenomenon.

"I just enhanced the function of the Runes of Kof-Kol and what they had been used for." Magnus replied with a chuckle.

"The Runes of Kof-Kol were calling those people from all over the multiverse who knew that Peter Parker was Spider-Man.... Have you gone mad?" Dr. Strange's eyes widened in shock as he seemed to realise just what Magnus was trying to do.

"So, you have finally realised but I am going to do." Magnus said with a laugh as if he was enjoying the look of horror on Dr. Strange's face.

"Do you want to destroy our world? Is that why you are calling such an existence here?" Dr. Strange asked with a grave expression.

"What is he trying to do?" I asked, not able to understand what he was doing.

"Let me explain what's having to you ignorant fools who know nothing. This ritual called people who knew that Peter Parker was Spider-Man to this world. I just enhanced the ritual using my Chaos Magic to call someone who also knows Spider-Man's true identity, my Lord Chthon!" Magnus gleefully proclaimed that he was calling Chthon, the God of Chaos to this world.

"And what would Chthon do after arriving in this world?" I asked Magnus, confused what could such a great entity obtain from this world.

"It is a really simple question with just as simple answer. He would rule over this world as is his right and duty to rule over these ignorant ants." Magnus answered, honestly believing that Chthon was the only one who had the right to rule this world.

"Was everything you told us a lie? A false story only for luring us into your trap?" Mayday asked with tears in her eyes.

"It was not a lie, Mayday. Only a half-truth." Magnus explained in a surprisingly soft tone.

"I told you that my mother Wanda had died in an accident she had caused with her Chaos Magic when I was just a child. But what I didn't tell you was that the incident turned the entire world against me.

The so called superheroes didn't want repeat of the incident and they were ready to kill me for it, the last Chaos Magic user in that world even though I was just a child. But my father would never have let it happen.

He betrayed everything, even his own ideals and escaped with me. We continued to run for several years, going from one place to another, never staying at a place for more than a month. But in the end, the managed to find us.

However, even then, my father fought for me to the very end and thus lost his life protecting me. The rage I felt back then made me realise my true potential.

As an offspring of a Spider-Man and a Chaos Magic user, I had such potential that I forged a connection to Lord Chthon in an instant and obtained enough power from him that I could slaughter all of my father's murderers.

Then, I offered my world to Lord Chthon after I had slaughtered every single superhuman on my world. Ever since then, I am the Avatar of Chthon, his sword and the very extension of his will."

Magnus revealed his entire life story to us, perhaps because he felt that it didn't matter if we learnt about his story since this world would soon be under Chthon.

"You don't need to fear though. Lord Chthon would treat all of you quite well. He has always respected the Spiders. Perhaps you would even join his cause once you get to know his true power." Magnus said to us, already giving us an offer as if this world being conquered by Chthon was already a done deal and we could do nothing but accept it.

"Like you actually care for us. You just want to use us to conquer our worlds." I said, realising that his motive was similar to that of the symbiotes.

"So, you realised the truth, huh! Well, it doesn't matter. You will do my lord's bidding whether you want it or not." Magnus said in a sinister tone, not regarding us as his equal at all.

"Don't think that you have won just yet, Magnus." I said in a furious tone as I transformed into my draconic form. I still had difficulty believing that this was the true personality of the shy Magnus I was talking happily with just a few minutes ago.

"Oh! You actually hid this much power in your body, Albion! But you would never be able to pierce this barrier no matter how powerful you are." Magnus said, not regarding even my draconic form as a danger.

"Shut up!" I said furiously as I squeezed every single bit of power I could drain from my Saint Graph.

I usually hesitated to use my full power but at this moment, I desperately wished that my Saint Graph was much more complete.

Huge amounts of red lightning concentrated on my claws as I flew towards the Chaos Barrier at my full speed, concentrating every single bit of strength and energy I had in my body on my claws.

The barrier resisted as it was hit by my red lightning but to my surprise, my body passed through the barrier like it didn't even exist.

Not having any time to think about the reason why it happened, I rushed towards Magnus whose face was filled with shock because I had actually passed his nigh impenetrable barrier.

As I closed the distance between Magnus and I, Magnus immediately threw the ritual box away without any hesitation and tried to fly away from me.

"How did you cross the barrier?" Magnus asked as I caught the ritual box in my hand.

"Just hope that you never meet me again. The day you meet me again would be your end." I said these words as I pushed the button on the ritual box.

However, nothing happened! The ritual box was still releasing the red beam of light in the sky.

"Ha ha ha ha!! Like I said before, Albion. There is nothing you can do!"

As Magnus said these words, several spatial rifts started appearing in the sky!
