Chapter 396 – He’s Back?!
—–
The Forbidden One's Ego had reached the temple and had finally decided to devour these fragments dwelling within it! At long last, after eons of waiting, he would be able to absorb some more fragments! Although recently he had died against Chaos, he didn't had the time to think about this bastard and what he had done to him, he had to concentrate into growing stronger and surviving, his greatest goal was thriving. The Forbidden One's Ego looked up through his new little body, realizing there was an enormous temple in the middle of the wet jungles where he found himself in.
This gigantic temple was ready to be plundered, he quickly moved forward, breaking apart the gate and entering to reclaim what was his property from the very beginning of all times. After all, these fragments always belonged to his body, they were part of who he was, his identity as the Forbidden One, such a name was only given to him because he was Forbidden from entering this Universe. However, he had done as he pleased, as he was an ambitious and gluttonous aberration. Since the moment he entered this universe and decided to make it his meal to increase in power and breakthrough the progression wall he had reached as an Outer Deity.
All the time he spent here just to get sliced into pieces… He harbored this hate, this resentment, and made it his strength and will to continue moving forward. Perhaps he was just as admirable as any hero in how incredibly ambitious his willpower was.
He slipped through the stairs moving down, as he suddenly found a large two-meter-big altar with a large lump of something resembling slime, and other body parts mixed together, which was coiled around by several runes. The moment he saw the fragments, the Forbidden One's Ego celebrated!
"Here it is!"
He jumped from the ground, jumping over the seal, and slowly melting it away with his acidic venom produced from the glands he had within the core of this slime body.
FLAAASH!
And then, the fragments awakened, and welcomed him!
The Fragment of the Forbidden One's Ego rejoiced! He had acquired the amazing power of a new set of fragments, all the lumps of dark goo and other disjointed body pieces flew towards his little slime body and fused with him! Despite having just gotten killed by Chaos, a copy of his own mind remained, and he was technically once more alive, and about to gain a great quantity of fragments to boost himself even more!
FLAAAASH!
The fragments began to fuse with the small body, making up the rest of his new body as all fragments started to shapeshift their original appearance. They suddenly regained consciousness by being shared from the Forbidden One's Ego fragment, and then they began to shapeshift into the form of a creature made of these fragments, resembling a being reminiscent of a spider, with a big and fat abdomen behind its back, eight black legs covered in steel-like exoskeleton, and the upper half of a humanoid insectoid, with a head resembling that of a black-scaled alligator… a bizarre creature that seemed to have come of someone's deepest nightmares.
The monstrosity didn't waited any longer, destroying the entire temple with his enormous pincer-like claws and jumping outside!
BOOOM!!!
"Once more… I am back…!" He laughed. Much like Chaos himself, the Forbidden One's Ego was an incredibly vicious abomination, as long as a small piece of himself remained, he could reform back with some incentive, these incentives being the original fragments of his body, which were mere fragments of fragments! As he had been sliced thousands of times, even the original seven fragments of his body were sliced into more and more pieces. Over half of them ended being sealed by the Archangels in exchange for a great amount of their power and the help of The One.
However, the other half of these fragments ended falling like meteors across the Universe, and although the angels lamented this, they were too weakened to continue chasing these fragments, and ultimately let them on their own accord… this provoked the entire invasion of these fragments and their massive propagation across the entire Universe, making them incredibly dangerous and vicious enemies of all life, parasites that only were interested in fusing with one another to ultimately revive the original body they once had. But sadly, even if they were to find more of their own fragments, even if they were to find all the fragments… it would be impossible to go back to how they were, as the other half were all sealed by the Archangels in Heaven itself.
But that wasn't something the Forbidden One's Ego would even care for, he was an ambitious and egocentric monster, inheriting a fragment of the original Forbidden One's Ego, he was intelligent enough to be capable of planning, he was going to simply gather as many fragments as he could and at the same time find out other ways to grow stronger, one of them would be to… absorb other living beings!
TRUUUUMMM…!
The enormous monstrosity that he had become after reviving suddenly swings his gigantic claws, crushing the ground and any living being nearby, and then small tentacles emerged from all around his claws and arms, grasping the corpses of the monsters and also the bodies of those that were still somehow alive, and assimilate them all into his flesh, accumulating large quantities of biomass and energy, which made it change, growing stronger and even more monstrous than before.
"More… more…!"
The Forbidden One's Ego continued his massacre as he began to devour all the life inside the island, from the smallest critter to the most ferocious giants, and slowly made his way towards the coast, as his next goal was going into the sea and finding the other small clone that must be doing the same thing as him! It seems that he had tricked Chaos, and he thought that it would take him a while to realize what he was doing… However, he didn't considered that he would send allies to secure the fragments…
