Affinity:Chaos



Grey flew into the sky, heading for the sun. He soon came to a realization that no matter how much he flew, he could not get close to the sun. He could sense the presence of the sun, but he found out that it was like the sky was endless and the sun was at the end of the endless sky. 

After a few more minutes, he gave up and went back down. He appeared on the ground the moment he thought about going down. 

An idea struck him when this happened. If he could appear on the ground with a thought, maybe he could appear in the sun with a thought as well. 

He quickly put his theory to test and was elated when he appeared inside the sun filled with golden energy. The energy there was enough to destroy his spiritual body, however, since he was the one who had the Chaos Space, it did nothing to him. 

His eyes were wide as he didn't know when this happened.

'Could it be that it was when I was hit with the chaos wave?'

This was the only time he knew that he absorbed a large amount of chaos energy. The golden energy he could use was the pure form of the chaos energy, and that was what filled the entire sun. 

He couldn't even see the end of the sun, and the thought of that frightened him. It was unknown just how much energy was stored there, but he knew it would be enough to overwhelm someone. 

He stayed there for a while, after moving around, he left the sun and headed back to the temple. 

When he got there, his father was looking around. He had been able to get into a standing position, but he didn't seem to be comfortable. 

Lucas sighed and said, "It's a wondrous place. It's a shame if I force myself to stay for too long, then I'll cause irreparable damage to my spiritual body." 

Grey looked at the flickering body of his father and was slightly taken aback. 

"Will the light element be able to help?" He asked. 

Lucas thought about it and replied, "It's worth trying. There's nothing to lose." 

"Let's go there, the light essence there is better." He pointed at a certain region. 

In this place, all he could see were mountains and trees, but the essence he sensed around the place was beyond belief. There were eight different places where he could sense eight different elemental essences in abundance. If anyone were to cultivate in such a place, the person would grow in weeks. 

"Have you tried bringing in your physical body?" 

"No. I don't think that is possible. The senior told me I can only come with my spiritual body." 

"I see… Either way, there's no harm in trying. Who knows, you might be able to benefit more from this place." 

Grey followed the flickering body of his father as they headed towards the light element region. 

He could clearly see the light elemental essences around, but from how his father was staring at the trees, he knew he wasn't seeing it. 

His father sat down cross-legged and told him to begin. 

Grey controlled some of the light essence around, and used it to cover the flickering body of his father's spiritual body. 

Lucas felt invigorated the moment his spiritual body was covered with light elemental essence. He felt a sudden calmness that made him relax his mind. Unfortunately, his body was still flickering even with the light essence that was used to wrap it. 

Lucas sighed when he saw the situation, "It's no use. I can't stay here more than a few minutes." 

"Those weaker than I am won't even be able to get in." He added. 

"Oh, I see." 

Grey knew nothing about this, but from how his father was struggling, he knew it was impossible for people below his father's strength to last more than a minute here. 

"It's time for me to go out. I wanted to explore this place, but it seems like I won't be able to." Lucas shook his head, although he was thrilled by this new discovery, he was still sad he isn't able to explore the place in its entirety. 

Grey didn't delay any further and sent his father's spiritual body out of the Chaos Space. He left as well. 

When they both regained control over their bodies, Grey stared at his father in shock. His father had always looked like someone in his early thirties, the same goes for his mother even though they were both well over fifty. But now, his father looked at least five to six years younger and his skin was glistering. If not for the fact that he had a small beard, it would be easy to take him for Grey's older brother. 

The resemblance between them made it even more believable. 

Lucas already sensed the changes that happened in his body. There were a few complications he had, but now, he couldn't sense them any longer.

Seeing Grey's shocked look, he looked at him questioningly. 

Grey created an ice mirror for him, and when he saw his face, he was speechless. 

"The light element surely is the most intriguing element of them all." Lucas spoke out loud, amazed by the wonders of the light element. 

He knew what happened was due to Grey enveloping him with the light element while they were in the Chaos Space. 

"I don't think mom would be too happy with your sudden youth." Grey remarked. 

When Lucas thought about it, he realized Grey was correct. Every woman cared about how they look, especially when next to their husband. If Lucas were to look far younger than her, she would most definitely be irritated by it. 

She could make herself look younger with her strength, but there's a difference with the method Grey used and the one she would use. 

"Come on, let's go show her my new look." Lucas chuckled. 

"Remember, you have nothing to do with this."
