Xue Tie is sitting down and recovering what energy he can as he doesnt believe that the chaos has been defeated yet. Though strangely enough, it's half an hour later that it finally begins to move.

It begins to take a humanoid form of a man.A box is made from itself so the 'man' can sit on it while it is rubbing it's head. The rubbing gets so intense and powerful that Xue Tie assumed that if the creature was mortal, it would have crushed its own head many times over. Or torn off its own flesh hundreds of times over.

Xue Tie gets on one knee to prepare for any fight when the figure stands up. With the full view now visible. Xue Tie can only say that this new figure has got THAT DRIP on him.

'God damn' Xue Tie internally comments as he partially recognizes the drip in question as the Yharnam hunter outfit in full black suit. In fact, on it's back the chaos figure has the signature blunt weapon, the saw cleaver. A wavy stick that holds a flat blunt blade comparable to a yugioh duel disk if it could be retrofitted onto someone's arm. It is all completely wrapped in dirty bandages that make it look rusted and brown.

The chaos figure is not grabbing its weapon though, Xue Tie senses no killing intent from it like the previous forms.

The figure suddenly grabs the top and bottom of it's head and begins to twist it abnormally until it completes a full 360 circle. He can only assume because it's chaos sludge that it didn't die. Unless the original figure could do it too but then it surely isn't human.

"Hmmm. thats much better. Piece of trash finally came back to me" The chaos figure suddenly says in a pleasant tone of voice before lifting it's head to look around its surroundings.

"Hey there bud" the person suddenly says to Xue Tie. He is frowning as he doesnt fully trust this person and his supposed friendly personality.

"Hmmm. im gonna go out on a limb and say your day has been fucked over by quite a bit thanks to this runaway child." the figure claims

"More like half my life"

"Damn, that sucks dude. I've been trying to re-establish my connection to this fragment of my powers. Lost track of it some 200 years ago[1] after one of my big fights. Like can you believe it, my chaos was corrupted by another force?" The figure admits it's faults and how the chaos got here. He 'lost track of it'.

"Your telling me the chaos was corrupted?" Xue Tie says baffled.

"I know huh. Fucking Cuthulu-shit didn't like me encroaching on his territory. Sought to teach me a lesson like it's some fucking wuxia novel" The figure gives a few more details while trying to make a joke.

"This is sort of a wuxia world" Xue Tie reluctantly states.

"Oh ...but how would you know that…unless. Naughty gods fucking shit up again. Who do i have to teach a lesson to? Was it Jack? God of gamblers? Or was it Harry, god of Styles? That fashionista loves to do crazy shit like this after it was outlawed some time ago." The figure question in hopes of learning the answer, it seems to know about transmigration and all that fuzz"

Xue Tie shakes his head and the figure scratches his head in confusion before realizing a few things. It first jams its hand into its chest and pulls out the reincarnation mug before tossing it away.

He then does it a second time and pulls out a pulsing wriggling little thing that looks like a sliced tentacle. He utterly crushes it in his hand before opening a rift and throwing it along with its hand that touches the tentacle into the rift. A new hand takes the original place.

"HMMMM, much better. Now before I bring this piece of shit back to my original body, I should make reparations. So what do you want" The figure says as it finishes stretching it's back, as if taking out the tentacle is the equivalent of a back crack.

"Oh, you all too since I see old traces of my power on you all. Some bits of it are a bit more recent which means yall have been tormented by this thing for quite a while. So you can make some requests of me as well.

"Is it a request to know who you are?" Xue Tie first asks

"Ill ignore it, my mortal name used to 'P&#?Y<'. But my Eldritch Title is Thorn." Thorn says but it's mortal name sounded like garbled nonsense except for a few letters.< p>

"What are the limits of what we can ask" Xue Tie continues asking, he is partially testing the limits of the requests whilst still being careful of the chaos even though it's energy appears to be at an all time low from what he can tell.

"Hmm, I can't forcibly elevate your strength to my level or whatever is beyond the limits of this plane.I choose to ignore any resurrection requests or anything related to unlimited power or knowledge. And don't write down all your requests and ask me to fulfill whatever is written on it. Ill FLAY you if you try. I should know, i've had plenty of practice in this. Mortal or otherwise. " Thorn sets the ground rules for the request they can make of him.

Hui Mie steps forward first and asks if Thorn could restore the divine realm back to it's peak. Before the fall of the Dragon God. Thorn takes a moment to seemingly scan the region and finds various influences of the lost chaos had on weakening the realm. Various images seem to flow through it's eyes before it states.

"Granted" He snaps his fingers and the cracks all around start to rapidly heal and then the quality of energy starts to rise. The god kings have excited expressions as they understand that their realm has returned to the peak of when the Dragon God was still around and preparing to elevate the realm higher. Happiness is ever more so present on both Kindness and Sheng Meng, the goddess of life's faces.

Xue Tie, Hui Mie, and Asura check the ground for any chaos contamination left behind by Thorn but find that the few minor traces that they could not remove are actually gone now. This makes them suspect Thorn less as a result but Xue Tie himself is still wary due to the hidden trauma he got.

Kindness is the one to make the next request. "Could you reform the bodies of the gods that died because of chaos? I wish to give them a proper burial or at least let their divine essence return to the realm?"

Thorn has images flying through his eyes again as he processes the exact depth of his task before saying "granted.". Suddenly, roughly 88 bodies suddenly appear lying down on the ground. Kindness has tears in her eyes as she momentarily relieves their deaths before using her energy to move them all further away and begin the burial procedure.

Asura is the next but he seems unsure of what to ask before finally saying. "Can you impart a divine level of swordsmanship for me to progress with?"

Once again Thorns eyes flash as he processes what is an acceptable level of swordsmanship before creating a book out of thin air and giving it to him.

"I can't teach you anything thanks to the very rules I enforce but I can give you the necessary study materials for it" Asura bows as he takes the book and departs.

Poseidon simply asks for some high level material so that he may create a new sea god trident in the future. "Granted", a silvery rainbow slab of metal is handed over to him.

Xue Tie the last one but he simply says "I don't really need anything, so just fix up the river of reincarnation for this world without forcing me to become the Samsara god or making me lose the power of death."

"Hmm. I planned to do this anyways but your request matches part of my plan." Thorn manifests a ball of darkness and then splits it into two. One half goes into the discarded mug that then links up with the godhead, fixing both of them at once as it returns to the sky. The second orb is given to Xue Tie.

"This is primal death, a slightly higher level format than this world. My own power is slightly based off this but closer to that sword fellow from before. Ill be heading off now. Enjoy your presents. Maybe we will meet again once your world can handle my true presence since I hate using avatars."

"Hey man, avatar is a good show, don't be dissing it"

With his words, the two look at each other with a sign of recognition at their respective home lands.

"CHEEKI BREEKI…" Thorn suddenly says with a bit of reverb in his voice.

"IV DAMKE" Xue Tie finishes the phrase and in an alternate universe of their own, the two start to dance while the music actually manifests around them. Thorn would ball himself up and then pop out while Xue Tie would cross his arms whilst kicking out both his legs. They do this dance in a circle around each other. But in this one universe they simply fist bump before Thorn opens a new rift before leaving.

I almost forgot to include this but I got access to my old aqw accounts so my furthest progress was just up to the troll. I'm mostly focused on leveling up and new classes since it was back in 2014 that I last played this. Back when the game was still in its infancy was when I joined and crowds of people fighting each boss that it was super easy.now I gotta grind because at most 4k people play now based on server numbers that I've seen
