Chapter 342 - The Planet's Voice
Chapter 342 – The Planet’s Voice
—–
Chaos heard a voice whispering to him as he delved into his own thought within his dreams.
The voice sounded like that of an old lady, a very old and weakened lady that spoke very slowly.
She seemed very tired, and had a hard time expressing much words.
Chaos felt confused, was this also part of the memory fragments?
But no, it wasn't, this voice… of the old lady… it was external.
Could it be that "Khaos" entity that calls herself his mother?
No, it wasn't that entity either… this was completely different altogether.
This voice… of the old lady… it was completely different indeed, it wasn't a voice Chaos could recognize at all.
Who was she?
"Who… are you?" asked Chaos curiously.
The voice stopped talking for a while after his question, as if it had gone missing or disappeared.
For a moment, Chaos thought that it might had been his imagination that he heard anything.
But then…
"I am… I… am… Amphibi…"
"Amphibi?"
Chaos felt confused, wasn't that the name of the planet? Maybe she meant amphibian? Well yes, there were a lot of amphibian beings in this planet, so that was quite the stretch.
Was she trying to use some sort of code for Chaos to talk to her? Or was she messing around with him? Chaos felt like he had way too many thoughts and questions inside of his head, and while he thought about them, the voice spoke once more.
"The planet…"
She said another two words… "the planet".
What did she meant by that? Chaos wasn't the brightest person, but there was a faint thought within his mind, thinking what she meant by "the planet", he quickly realized that such a thought was too fantastical.
There was no way his own thoughts were real… maybe she meant something different.
There was no way…
"What do you mean?" asked Chaos.
"…"
The voice fell silent again.
Was it having a hard time speaking? Chaos couldn't help but feel a bit concerned about it.
"Yes…"
It replied after a bit.
"You're… the planet? Is that what you're trying to tell me?"
"…"
A small amount of time passed with no response.
And then…
"I… I… am…"
Chaos knew that the voice seemed too weakened, it couldn't speak properly. He couldn't force it to speak too much either as it would be even harder.
If possible, he had to ask questions and then ask the voice if "yes" or "no".
"So you're telling me you're a planet? You're this planet?"
…
"Yes…"
Chaos couldn't help but ask how was this even possible, but he didn't seem to want to force the voice to speak too much.
However, he recalled that the voice asked for his help.
Was this really the planet's voice? And why did it want his help from all people?
What was happening?!
"So you're the planet's voice? I didn't knew planets were… alive in this sense." Said Chaos.
"We are… Some… of us are… Those… that exist very… long…" she replied.
Apparently, those planets that exist for very long periods and might harbor life on their own surface… could become alive themselves! These news were utterly crazy for Chaos.
But deep down, he couldn't help but find that it made some sort of sense, seeing how there was a living Galaxy Core, then it couldn't be weird for a planet's core to be alive as well…
As crazy as it sounded.
"You want my help? Why me?" asked Chaos.
"I need your help… Please… You were… the one that fought against… him. My body… it is growing weaker… My people… is dying… My lifeblood… is being extracted… There is no much time left for me…" cried the voice.
Chaos learned the sad truth from the planet's voice itself.
The entire planet of Amphibi was dying.
And apparently, it was provoked by the one Chaos fought.
Him.
The Vampire Lord, Valen.
She said that her people were being killed.
Did she meant the living beings and also the Saphibians?
And then… she said that her lifeblood was being extracted…
Did she meant some sort of energy inside the planet?
Chaos recalled that there was such a thing, factories around the planet that dug deep underground and extracted World's Source Energy, which was made into large batteries and sold for expensive prices.
Form what Chaos knew about these types of energies, the World Source Energy was one of the richest energies in the Universe, aside from Cosmic Energy and the higher ones, World Source Energy was so rich it could be used as an all-purpose energy.
It was often brought by large companies that required a lot of energy to fuel their magic machinery, or also as a popular cultivation resource for those with a lot of money, as World Source Energy could help people grow stronger faster, but its power was so rich and high quality that it became addictive.
But this energy wasn't endless, and Valen didn't knew that he was ruining the planet's lifespan foolishly out of pure greed.
He didn't realized the grave mistake he was committing!
By draining the energy of the planet, the planet's lifeblood was being drained and it was slowly growing weaker and weaker.
If the planet died, everything that produced money for him would also be destroyed.
The planet knew that Valen was vile and the cause of all of this, so she couldn't ask him to reconsider, she kind of hated him.
And when she sensed someone going against him but dying miserably, yet somehow reviving from his very ashes like a phoenix… she couldn't help but want to ask for the help of this being.
Even as weakened as he was…
"So you, as the planet, is asking me for my help to defeat Valen, the one behind it all? I also want to kill him but… I am far too weak." Said Chaos.
"That… can be resolved…" said the voice of the planet.
Suddenly, the voice told Chaos something that might change his future.
