Chapter 457 – A Plan In Motion

—–

The Elder Brain was left speechless. Before he could even react, the powerful Soul Weapon of Jakob was already piercing through his several layered barriers with ease, the almighty power of a Soul Weapon, a characteristic of strong Vampires that have reached the Great God Realm and beyond was incredible!

But that was not all of it, as Jakob had showed a sudden immunity to his mental powers! …That was virtually impossible! Jakob might be powerful as a Vampire, and he might even be able to deflect the mind attacks from Mind Gods or lesser Mindflayers, but against the Elder God, it shouldn’t be the case! After all, both are in the same Realm, of Great Gods. It was completely insane for the Elder Brain to think that a Vampire of his same Realm could somehow be able to defend against his mind powers.

The Elder Brain quickly realized there was something odd with this Jakob, he was certainly not the same as before! And he also felt several presences lurking around, somewhere!

“You useless bags of trash, move and do something!” Said the Elder Brain, as he quickly forced the shocked Mind Gods to all fight against Jakob.

“Deal with them.” Jakob expressionlessly, as from out of thin air, several black holes emerged, several figures appeared from within them, as all of them attacked the Mind Gods, pushing them down into the ground.

Aside from their mind powers, their physical abilities were quite bad, these new foes that emerged out of nowhere were easily able to overpower them, destroying their heads and breaking apart their souls with their powerful blows and weapons.

“W-What?!” The Elder Brain looked into the scene, as he desperately defended against Jakob’s onslaught, his mind attacks were somehow being blocked by him, and although he knew he was dealing some sort of mind damage, it was being severely weakened to the point Jakob was able to bear with it quite easily!

“Telekinetic Storm!!!” The Elder Brain unleashed a storm of invisible kinetic force, enough to blast away all the debris around as he attempted to escape from the scene!

“No way I can defeat a Vampire in such close quarters, especially one seemingly immune to my mind powers!” Thought the Elder Brain, flying away as fast as possible, only to be greeted by the figure of a Shoggoth wearing a maid outfit out of nowhere! She had a spear of her own as well, and she unleashed a barrage of piercing blows using it, breaking apart his barriers one by one.

CRASH!

The barriers all shattered into pieces, as the cosmic energy emanating from her spear was of a shocking degree, the Elder Brain tried to defend himself with a mind attack, only to suddenly be pierced by a spear behind him.

SLASH!

The spear pierced through his body cleanly, all the way into his soul, slowly cracking it and then shattering it into pieces… It all happened so fast that he couldn’t believe it! However, through the powers of a Great God, he attempted to reconstruct his shattered soul and somehow recover his wounded body, but then, he saw it.

The body of Jakob suddenly shapeshifted into something monstrous, even more horrendous, and terrifyingly eldritch than the Elder Brain himself. It resembled a gigantic mass of flesh with countless eyes, a large and wide mouth filled with sharp teeth inside, and several fleshy, red-colored tentacles wrapping around him!

“Y-You’re not Jakob… Just what are you?!” Asked the Elder Brain in utter shock, as he saw the truest and most grotesque form of Chaos. A horrifying form that looked like it came from the depths of the abyss!

“I am the one you’ve been chasing down all this time… Elder Brain!” Said Chaos.

“C-Chasing?! Y-You’re… the… chimera?! UUAAAGGGH…!” The Elder Brain groaned, as he pitifully was devoured in a single bite by Chaos enormous and abyssal maw, his entire brain body was crushed and shredded into pieces, as his soul was swallowed and everything that made him up into a person disappeared alongside it!

“Indeed.” Said Chaos, as he quickly went back to his original form. He looked down into the ruins of the city and the temple, as he saw his subordinates promptly slaying every Mindflayer they found. They were all vicious monsters that ate the brains of innocent slaves, he didn’t had any mercy against them. Chaos might be a merciless and gluttonous aberration himself, but he had empathy and only ate and devoured wild monsters or those that really deserved it.

And all these malicious entities governing this vast Galaxy were all within his plate. He cleansed his mouth and swallowed the last chunk of brain he ate, it had quite a terrible flavor compared to the delicious food his soon-to-be-wife prepared for him, but it was a fine food nonetheless, nutritious and with an increase in power level to boot.

He immediately felt his Realm Rank increasing, jumping from Rank 3 all the way to Rank 5 instantly, four more Ranks to reach Rank 9 and then he would somehow have to bypass the wall that was reaching Supreme God Realm, something that not even he knew how he would be able to accomplish it… Other than by devouring more Great Gods, of course.

His Psionic Techniques improved and he even acquired a new Ability named [Psionic Elder Brain Arts] which allowed him to use every technique the Elder Brain knew, and also it enhanced his powers over the mind, giving him a Divinity of Psionic Energies which the Elder Brain had.

He didn’t felt that physically stronger, but his mind had certainly expanded, especially with the rush of information he suddenly attained by devouring the Elder Brain, it was so much information that he was about to faint out of the shock it caused to him, it was indeed a lot of info.

But well, everything went once more according to his plans, the way he used Jakob’s appearance to throw off the Elder Brain and then make him alert the other Mindflayers Colonies about a possible treason from the Vampires was all part of his plans.

Chaos had not only grown stronger through his journey, but he had learned how to be a scheming bastard.
