Affinity:Chaos

Grey had a bad feeling that what happened was not as simple as it looked. From how serious his parents and grandfather were talking about it, it looked very serious. 

He walked up to his father, “Is something wrong?” 

Lucas looked at his son, and seeing the innocent look on his face, he nodded, there was no need to hide it from him, the only thing he wasn’t going to tell him was that he was the cause of it. 

Having such knowledge will only put more pressure on Grey, and he was still too young to have such pressure on him. It was best no one knows of what happened today. 

Luckily, only Grey’s grandfather and his parents knew of it, even Grey’s friends didn’t have a clue about Grey trying to merge the chaos and origin energy together. At least, no one would put the blame on him. 

“Don’t worry, focus on your training, there’s not much you can do now.” Martha caressed Grey’s face.

Grey looked at his mother and nodded. Now, he didn’t plan to stop himself from breaking through. He would advance as fast as he could. He suddenly had a sense of urgency, and for some reason, he felt like if he didn’t grow stronger faster, his family and friends would be in danger. 

Grey walked back to his friends, Void and the bunny leader walked over to them. 

“What do you think caused it?” Alice asked. 

It was a huge phenomenon, and every single individual in the Continent naturally wanted to know what caused it. 

“I don’t know.” 

Grey and the other two shook their heads, they truly didn’t know. Grey had some thoughts, but he wasn’t certain, so he naturally didn’t want to say. The last time he shared something with his friends, the entire Azure Continent went after them, all four empires in the Continent, he didn’t want that to happen again. 

Grey’s grandfather and his parents left, leaving only the four youths there, Cori was inside training, and seeing that Grey was not leaving, she came out to speak with him. 

It hadn’t been too long since Grey went out to train, yet he was back again. 

Grey looked at the little girl, she was still at the Peak of the Sage Plane, According to his mother, she still needed at least a year before she could enter the Elemental Venerable Plane. 

Cori would be at most eleven or close to twelve at that time, yet she was already entering the Elemental Venerable Plane. If not for having multiple elements, Grey would’ve believed that she was more of a talent than he is. 

He threw everything to the back of his head, since his mother told him to focus on his training, that is what he was going to do, before that. He wanted to check what elemental grades each of his elements had gotten to. Previously, his fire element was the highest, he was quite curious to know if the others had advanced or caught up. 

After they got into the building, he didn’t spend too long with his friends before leaving them and heading for his private room. He shut his door, set up a few arrays, and entered a cultivation state. 

Sitting cross-legged, he closed his eyes and entered the Chaos Space. He appeared in the all too familiar temple and went straight to the pillar that was in the middle. 

When Lucas came, he didn’t see this pillar, other than the grand temple, he saw nothing else. 

Grey placed his hand on the pillar and for the first time, he didn’t get any reaction. 

Previously, he would sense an energy enter his body. Well, this time, he did sense it, but it was only for a split second, he almost missed it, but luckily for him, he was well focused on his body. What he sensed for that split second was the energy being decimated the second it entered his body. 

At the moment, he could sense the miasma in his body being fully suppressed, it was so docile that even Grey was beyond shocked. It seemed afraid to show itself. 

“Just how powerful is this thing?” He muttered to himself.

After a while, he gave up on trying to sense his present elemental grade. Since it wasn’t possible to check it, why waste time? 

ραndαsnοvεl.cοm He walked into each element’s region, and to his surprise, the previous pressure he would sense from them was gone. He strolled through the region like he was taking a walk in his backyard and didn’t feel anything. 

When he sensed this, he couldn’t help but feel a little worried, he tried to manipulate his elements and realized how easier it was for him to do so now. In the Chaos Space, it was at least three times harder to manipulate the elements, but now, it was like he was in the normal world. In fact, it was easier than when he was in the normal world. 

The merged form of the chaos and origin energy was even more powerful than he expected. But there was something else, after consuming part of the origin source, the chaos orb was more active, it was more domineering and powerful. 

Grey explored the Chaos Space a little longer, but with his objective being a total failure, he left the Chaos Space after a while. Before leaving, he didn’t forget to visit the sun, and just as he speculated, the small part of the origin source he consumed was there. 

He didn’t know what to feel about this situation, the origin source was originally something that everyone in the Aurora Continent connects to, even he connected to it when he was breaking through to the Elemental Venerable Plane. But now, he has absorbed a portion of it. 

Grey left the Chaos Space and went in search of Void, he recalled that he had a few devices that could be used to check elemental grades. 

Void gave him one in exchange for getting the answer to what happened. He has been traveling with Grey since he was born, so amongst everyone, he was the one who could say he knew him the most, he was certain that whatever happened had to do with Grey.
