Chaos flew through the endless space in a quest to get the fragment that he had sensed only recently. 

The fragment was so far that he couldn't sense it in the past, but after getting the fragment of search, his range had increased by a lot. He was able to sense the other fragment. 

Even though he flew at the highest speed, it still took him an hour to get to the next fragment. 

As he saw the following fragment, he slowed down.

A smirk formed on his lips. "So you're the one. Perfect."

He moved closer to the fragment and caught it. 

"The Fragment of Speed," he muttered as he placed the Fragment on his bracelet. 

"You seem happy to get that Fragment?" The goddess of reincarnation asked Chaos. 

"I certainly am. This fragment is one of the most important ones after the Origin Fragment for me," Chaos answered. 

"Why is that?" The Goddess of Reincarnation asked. 

"Because the enemy of ours isn't someone ordinary. Even if all the Gods work together, they can't even put a scratch on him. I want to be completely prepared to face him. And the most important part of the battle will be speed. If I can't match his speed, I can't expect to win," Chaos answered. 

"The battle is not only fought with strength and defense but it's also fought with speed. On the contrary, I would say that speed is more important than anything against a being whose single step is faster than teleportation," he added.

"I understand that. He is certainly fast. But can this fragment help you match his speed? At the end of the day, what if it's not enough?" Goddess of Reincarnation asked. 

"You don't have to worry about it. I am sure it will work. Now, if I can avoid him until I collect all the Fragments, the synergy will make them even stronger," Chaos answered. 

"The fragments which were in the outside world were already collected by me. So if I'm not wrong, the rest should be here! It doesn't matter how long it takes. I want to find them all," he continued, sighing. "It won't be long now. As soon as I finish the bracelet and get my sword, we shall leave this place and finish it once and for all."

"I hope so," the Goddess of Reincarnation said, sighing. "Wait! Look there! Isn't that a Dark Beast? We finally saw one!"

"Hmm?" Frowning, Chaos turned around. 

As he looked back, he was pleasantly surprised. It was indeed one he was looking for. It was one of the Dark Beasts who occupied this empty space. Moreover, they were also the ones who were told to be able to sense his sword!

He was sure that the sword was found by the Dark Beasts a long time ago. And if he could get the help of one of them, he could get there faster.

The Dark Beast didn't have a physical body. Instead, it appeared to be a creature who was entirely made of dark shadows. It did look a bit similar to a beast. 

Chaos started flying towards the Dark Beast, which looked back at him. 

The beast opened his mouth to review his shadowy teeth. 

Awooo~ 

The wolf raised his head, howling like crazy before it started running towards Chaos. 

Chaos took a deep breath as he raised his right hand. His eyes suddenly turned pitch black as a shadowy aura appeared behind him as well. 

The wolf felt a strange yet serene aura that was too soothing for him as if he was with a family member. There was also an urge inside him to listen to this man.

"Stop." Chaos softly said. 

Hearing the commands, the beast stopped. 

After commanding a Dark Beast, Chaos looked up, smiling. 

"As expected. I wasn't hurt. The Heavenly Oath isn't valid anymore since I went through reincarnation. I can use the abilities I promised never to use," Chaos muttered, pleased that it worked. 

It was also one of the reasons he decided to die and go through the reincarnation. Firstly, it allowed the Fragments to have enough time to gather energy. 

Secondly, it allowed him to be free of his Heavenly Oath without being free. And lastly, it allowed him to make his spirit even stronger. 

It was a known fact that Reincarnation had the potential of strengthening the Divine Soul of a god. That's why gods often tried to go through reincarnation, only to die in the end. 

Other than him and the Goddess of Reincarnation, no one had ever succeeded before. 

"Have you seen this sword?" Chaos asked as he created an illusion of the sword before the beast. 

The Dark Beast nodded his head. 

"Good. As expected. Lead me to that sword!" Chaos commanded. 

The Dark Beast selected a direction and started running. Chaos followed him. 

...

The Palace of the Goddess of Life and Death was established on the top of a beautiful mountain. The snow mountain matched the crystal palace of the Goddess of Life and Death. 

Despite being such a beautiful mountain, not many people came here. The Goddess of a Life and Death was the only person who lived here. As she didn't have many friends, the Palace was often empty on any ordinary day. 

Today wasn't any ordinary day though. Let alone one or two gods; the Palace was surrounded from all sides by more than thirty gods. 

Moreover, they had also sealed the space of this mountain to make sure that no one could teleport away or use any trick to escape. 

All the gods came for one person only, tracing the arrow on the compass that was given to them by a High God. The Arrow was still pointing towards the Palace, signaling the presence of Janus inside. 

"Heh, he is inside! As I expected, one of us was helping him! There are too many traitors in our midst! First that Janus and now the Goddess of Life and Death!" the God is War declared. 

"So she claimed that she wasn't taking part in the battle to kill Chaos because she didn't like gods killing other gods? And here she is, helping the people who killed our kids? She is certainly a traitor!" The God of Flames nodded. 

"It doesn't matter! Today we shall kill the Goddess of Life and Death and serve justice while capturing Janus to control Chaos!" The Goddess of Destiny said, smiling. 

They started walking towards the entrance of the palace, but when they were just a few meters away from it, the gates of the Crystal Palace opened, and a person stepped out.
