Chapter 706: Chaos Girls

Translator: imperfectluck Editor: Kurisu

While Roland was being busy with searching for Karwenz with no clues, Karwenz was actually in a bad mood.

Currently, Karwenz was standing in a special location that didn’t have the power of Chaos. This was a secret location in the 33rd level of the Chaos Abyss, which was also secretly the deepest part of the Chaos Abyss.

Above Karwenz’s head was an endless staircase leading into the void. Yet, he could only angrily stare at the pitch-black void door before him.

At first, everything had gone quite successfully for him. He managed to obtain the information on where the Abyss of Chaos, the deepest location of the Chaos Abyss, was located from Cynthia’s soul shards. However, his progress was now blocked by this void door.

This void door had been created from Cynthia’s personal divine power. This was her final defense line. She was the only one who would be able to pass through it.

Originally, Karwenz had believed that he would be able to break past this defense after he obtained Cynthia’s soul. However, he had underestimated just how insane the Goddess of Chaos had become.

Neither he nor anyone else ever expected that the Cynthia in his mind had only been a small and incomplete portion of her. The real Cynthia had already begun a process of evolving herself in the way that she was accustomed to.

“Chaos Girls? Cutting her own soul into several hundred shards and then letting the strong cull the weak? She’s completely insane.”

Anyone who understood Cynthia’s current situation would likely think that this Creator Goddess of Chaos had gone completely insane.

Over 200 years ago, the Goddess of Chaos had separated her own soul into several hundred shards and tossed them all into the River Styx to be reborn. Several hundred Chaos Girls had been born over the past 200+ years.

Those souls were all now complete individuals. They had their own personal memories and personalities. In fact, some of them had even died and been reborn several times due to various accidents.

Their special traits were that they would all have astonishing natural talent as well as natural enmity for each other. Two Chaos Girls who met each other would always slaughter and devour each other. The victor would obtain everything from the loser.

And during the Holy War, due to the workings of karma, all of the Chaos Girls would eventually meet each other. They might be human princesses, ogre huntresses, or even prostitutes used by nobles. But, no matter what identities they had, they would always naturally be drawn to kill each other in the end. The final victor out of all the Chaos Girls would return to the Chaos Abyss and become the new will of the Chaos Abyss as well as a new “Cynthia”.

As for the original Cynthia? She had probably lost her sense of self long ago. The current “Cynthia” was far more like a system than an individual. Cynthia herself was the extreme personification of Chaos to begin with, an amalgamation of countless wills.

As for whether or not Cynthia herself would be the final victor? “Cynthia” probably never cared about such a thing to begin with.

Throughout all this constant slaughtering and devouring between the Chaos Girls, “Cynthia” would obtain countless memories and knowledge, along with all sorts of experience regarding the growth from weak to strong. Cynthia was the essence of Chaos, the combination of countless personalities.

In fact, this wasn’t even the first time. Every Holy War would be an “internal war” period for her. The new knowledge and powers she gained from the Holy War would all be nutrition for her.

Even though Cynthia’s physical body was still in a deep sleep, she could use this method to cheat as she held control over the Cycle of Reincarnation. She could still constantly evolve and grow even stronger. The so-called will of the Chaos Abyss was the most special soul shard amongst the several hundred soul shards. She would be in charge of controlling the Chaos Abyss, but even she wouldn’t realize that she was only a small part of the greater entity of the Goddess of Chaos.

The will of the Chaos Abyss’s true mission had started more than 200 years ago before this current Holy War started. It consisted of tossing Cynthia’s soul shards into the River Styx so that they could be born as new Chaos Girls of this generation.

Only the final Chaos Girl who survived would have the ability to break through Cynthia’s final defense and return to Cynthia’s physical body, combining with it to become one.

The fundamental law of how things worked in Eich was that all power stemmed from the soul.

Since Cynthia was no longer able to evolve her physical body, she chose this chaotic method to “evolve” her soul. Once her physical body revived for real, her far more powerful soul would make her truly undefeatable.

Every Holy War would be just like an abundant feast for Cynthia. Not only would all the souls that entered the River Styx provide nourishment for her physical body, all the brand-new knowledge and concepts of the latest generation would only strengthen her even further.

“How many Chaos Girls are still alive?”

“57. 13 are under our control.”

57 crystals were lit up with a faint light on a void wall. Next to these crystals were 200+ additional crystals that no longer shone with any light.

This proved that Cynthia had probably been insane enough to simultaneously tear her soul into more than 300 shards to create more than 300 Chaos Girls. Actually, it might even be that not all of the Chaos Girls were female.

Over the past eight years, Karwenz had used his own forces to begin killing the Chaos Girls who had yet to awaken to their true natures. More than 50 Chaos Girls had been killed either directly or indirectly by him over these past eight years.

His current goal was to kill all the Chaos Girls until only one Chaos Girl under his control became the new “Cynthia”. This way, he would be able to pass through this void wall and come into contact with the Goddess of Chaos’s physical body.

“Soon, even more Chaos Girls will be awakening. Tell Donatis and Sophocles the Deceiver to increase the progress of the Holy War so that the entire world is filled with war. We need to make all the Chaos Girls die and return here!”
