Nial was not yet sure what exactly was going on but he felt extremely strong chaos from the fissure that connected the plane of the Decayed Chaos beings with the outer parts of the Universe.
Not many enemies had emerged from the fissure that was now pulsating while replenishing the Chaos it had consumed to allow the Decayed Chaos beings to traverse through time and space. Nial licked his lips in uncertainty before he teleported in front of the fissure.
There was no need to use the Grasp of Eclipse technique because that would be overkill. After having bound Shadow for more than thirty years to his body and being close to him for a long time. Nial realize that he was able to use a fraction of Shadow's powers. In fact, that was probably something he could do with each of his Devils.
However, until now, Nial had only been together with Shadow for such a long time. Nial learned how to teleport short distances through space at will. It required a considerable amount of dark energy but that was normal as his entire body was pulled through space in an instant.
In front of the fissure, Nial felt the pulsating Chaos even intenser. He focused his range of perception on the fissure while ignoring the other Decayed Chaos beings. After all, they were being taken care of by some other existences whom Nial had long since discovered.
However, two of them were humans, another one was from an Ancient race, and a few more were from races whose names he had forgotten.
Their races were not exactly important but what could be considered extremely helpful to know was that each of them was in possession of a Divinity.
They were all Gods!
Nial was not sure what this chaos fissure truly was but he could tell that it was dangerous enough if five Gods guarded it. The five Gods had already taken note of him as well but they were obviously of the opinion that it was not necessary for them to intervene in whatever Nial was trying to do in front of the chaos fissure.
'So only the beings emerging out of the fissure are dangerous, while the fissure itself seems to be a living organism that even Gods cannot remove, otherwise, they would have done it already…probably,' Nial mumbled to himself while materializing a few more currents of chaos around both of his arms.
They were reinforced through the crimson moonlight and the Essence of Darkness which he hoped to be enough to achieve what he had in mind.
"What the hell are you doing there, kid?!" A thunderous voice rang out through the proximity. The person shouted in the universal language, a language Nial hadn't heard for quite a while.
"You want less trouble from this…chaos fissure, right?" Nial asked, not faltering just because he was being shouted at.
There was no need for him to worry. The voice didn't hold any hostility. That man was merely worried that something bad could happen!
"Of course, we want to have less trouble with the Veils, but that's not an easy kid. Just come back and don't make more problems with your experiments!"
This time it was Nial who was a little baffled. Veils? The chaos fissure was actually a Veil?
He had just connected his currents of chaos with the chaos fissure, only to find out that it was actually a Veil, something he and Dilan had been warned about by the Oracle!
"That's a Veil? Then….the beings emerging from the Veils. Are those the Veilures?" Nial asked, feeling as if someone hit him hard on the head.
"Where the hell are you living not knowing what a Veil looks like?" The man asked rhetorically, just to add, "The beings emerging from the Veil are obviously Veilures, the beings who are trying to devour our Universe to restore theirs!"
Nial frowned deeply and his head tilted to the left and right as he was trying to digest the things that must have happened in the past few decades.
"How long has it been since the first Veil manifested?" He thus asked, trying to gather more information. However, before he heard and answer, a large hand grasped his shoulder tightly.
"I don't know if you're just oblivious, or if you are trying to stall for time…but let go of the Veil first!" The same voice rang through Nial's ears.
But instead of listening to the voice, Nial began to devour the pure Chaos of the chaos fissure, which was the Veil he had been warned about a long time ago.
"What are…nevermind…just continue with what you're doing," The voice said, baffled after he saw that the Veil was shrinking in size as it as deprived of its Chaos.
Without Chaos, it wouldn't be possible for many Veilures to pass through the Veil. It would require much longer for the Veils to replenish their Chaos as well.
That was something the Gods realized upon seeing Nial draining the storaged Chaos of the Veil. The hand that had tightly grasped his shoulder let go and the God pulled back, leaving Nial to do whatever he wanted to.
**
When Nial was done draining some Chaos from the Veil, his arms were aching. He tried to store the additional chaos in the Darkness Temple that belonged to the Vengeance of Chaos ability, but that was a little bit harder than expected.
Thus, Nial chose to keep it in his body for the time being. He could research Chaos later to find out more about it. After all, he had yet to comprehend the Essence of Chaos, a necessity to use Chaos as an ingredient for his Divinity.
The Veil was a chaos fissure that connected the Universe to a different dimension.
That was something Nial already knew. He and Dilan had been warned about quite a few things when they had been in the City of Trials.
Of course, Nial didn't expect the first Veils to open already.
Turning around to the few Gods that had been safeguarding the Veil, Nial couldn't help but feel a little lost.
"What the hell happened in the last six decades?"
