CHAPTER 29(SPLIT PERSONALITY?)

[DEMIGOD DAMIAN'S PERSPECTIVE]

"ENOUGH!" I shouted.

"Oh, congratulations, brother. You've finally..." his eyes shrunk as he saw a red aura emanating from my body.

"Hahahahaha," he began to laugh like a mentally ill person. "Look at that, brother. You're actually burning your life force for her, hahaha."

"..."

"I get it now. You chose her over me, your own blood brother," tears fell out of his eyes. "I-I see now, that's what you meant by destiny can only be delayed, not averted," he said, looking up to the sky.

My eyes shrunk as a thought came to my mind. "No, don't."

"I think it's time for us to fulfill the fate assigned to us," Daniel said.

"No, brother, don't."

A robotic voice resounded in the ears of every living creature present.

"What have you done, brother?" I asked.

"I did what had to be done," Chaos said, with a crazy smile on his face. "If I can't have you, no one can."

[CHAOS'S PERSPECTIVE]

I had always harbored a secret, hidden from everyone - even my brother himself. Ever since I gained my ability, there has always been a primal urge deep within me - an urge to cause chaos and wreak havoc wherever I go. I kept trying to suppress it, but it always seemed to come back stronger. Then I did something that I regret to this day: I tried to remove this urge from me. I succeeded, but while I enjoyed my freedom, the separated urges continued to grow stronger in the background, until they developed into a split personality.

I had full control over the split personality, and I could command it however I wished. I discovered that the split personality had more affinity with my abilities, so I always used it for battle. I never thought anything could go wrong, but then one fateful day - everything changed.

That day when I got trapped in the cave, I tried everything I could to escape, but some mysterious force wouldn't allow it. I knew my brother was trying his best to find me, but the split personality didn't agree. He believed my brother had abandoned us. He had always been a brother fanatic and believed my brother could do anything. Since my brother didn't save us, he believed my brother didn't try at all.

I don't know how or why, but I think it was due to my mental fortitude diminishing significantly after spending a hundred years in the cave, or something else. The split personality eventually took over my body and became the dominant one. I tried my best to fight back, but it was all to no avail. It became even more difficult after we got a divinity.

As time went by, I kept trying to regain control of my body, but it was hopeless. The split personality was stronger and had become the dominant personality. I couldn't do anything to fight back, even as we gained more and more powers and abilities. I watched helplessly as the split personality used my body to wreak havoc, destroying civilizations, kingdoms and commiting all kinds of evil acts. I felt so powerless and guilty for the things that my body was doing, but I couldn't do anything to stop it.

Until today, when the gods descended. Many gods were unable to do anything against the split personality, as he could nullify their abilities. But one goddess, the goddess of time, fought valiantly against him, and managed to put him down at the cost of her own life. The gods captured us and confined us to a separate dimension, where we slowly got stronger. Until today…

"You fool, what have you done?" I shouted. "That's Damian - the brother you idolize so much!"

"If I kill him, he'll become part of us and be with us forever," the split personality replied.

"You fool!" I said.

The split personality flew towards Damian and pierced his chest with my hand.

"That makes the fight a little less unfair" he said

[NINE LIVES ACTIVATED: YOU HAVE LOST ONE LIFE]

"Are you sure you want to do this, brother?" I asked, as I reappeared.

He gave his reply by channeling his energy for another attack. I sighed, and multiple figures appeared behind me. They were my avatars.

"Let's see - there are fifty of them now," he said, unfazed by the number.

He used a skill called "Chaos Clone," which created a clone of himself.

The clone also used the skill, and the clone's clone used the skill, and they continued in that fashion until there were fifty-one versions of him standing in front of me.

The chaos clone skill was a powerful one, and each clone was as strong as the original.

"Destroy everything in front of you" he commanded, and the battle began
