BXBX NOVEL Chapter 182: We Couldn't Be More Wrong
A small smile appeared on Chaos\' face and then the entire area was filled with windows.
The Titans and Nyx and Erebus looked at the windows and seemed to be trying to understand what was happening after what they had seen.
"These are our memories, our past. Great creator, why are you showing us these things?" Gaia suddenly asked, and Chaos, who heard these words, started his speech by saying, "I have told you many times to call me your father."
"So much of what you have done, so much of what you have created, and probably so many dangers that would have cost you your lives."
As Chaos spoke these words, all the windows shifted and the same memories, ending in death, appeared.
The Titans and Nyx and Erebus began to tremble at what they saw.
"This is mostly what was meant to be. I removed your destinies and the times when your last breath would be lost. In short, I changed their destinies slightly so that you would not die," Chaos said, and just as Nyx was about to speak, he gestured for her to stop talking and continued:
"Only two people, only two people in the history of the tower that I cared about and wanted to protect as much as you did, one is Desmond, who was your best friend, and the other is James, whom you now love as your son or nephew."
When Chaos fell silent, he lowered his hand and allowed Nyx and the others to speak.
"But James has had help from you many times. Ummm, like the Book of Magic Status? What are you going to tell him?" said Hyperion.
"Helping is not changing fate, my dear Hyperion. I helped James, yes that\'s true, but I did not directly change your destiny, in one or two cases I used you as a puppeteer as you think, and I did it so that you would not die.
But James only received help, he was the one who managed to survive all the dangers he faced, although creating and giving him an ability like Gacha can be seen as playing with his destiny, but since I did not directly change it, it is what you say it is."
At Chaos\'s words, everyone fell silent, it was enough for them that James\' fate was not controlled.
"What about putting the spirit of your ancestors into certain items? Or the fact that Desmond got his Sword Scabbard from the gacha?" Gaia asked, and Chaos, hearing this, twisted his lips and said, "Of course it was luck, what were you thinking? I mean, yes, I put the souls because James will need an army sooner or later, I just put the dots, whether he can draw a path to those dots is up to James.
Still, the gacha was pure luck, normally he should have found that item on the 60th floor, that is, if he had looked for it."
At Chaos\'s words, those around him were surprised, it was clear that no one expected such an answer.
"Luck, huh?" Oceanus said, as surprised as everyone else.
"Exactly. I may be creative, but I don\'t have the energy to organise everyone\'s destinies, so I\'ll choose to rest instead." Chaos chuckled a little at these words and then opened his hands and asked, "Do you have any other questions?"
Those around him shook their heads as they heard those words, and then Hyperion looked at Chaos as if something had occurred to him and spoke:
"With so much going on, with the possibility of everyone dying, including your children, why don\'t you stop everything at once? You\'re not watching what\'s going on inside the tower, Dad, so why don\'t you destroy all the bad guys?"
At Hyperion\'s words, everyone\'s gaze turned to him, and Chaos\' gaze turned to the surrounding windows one by one:
"If I wanted something to constantly control, I would control every move of every one of you, as has already been said and known, my son Hyperion."
Chaos took a deep breath after saying those words and spoke again:
"Push or pull, bright or dark, life or death, yin or yang, good or evil. My son, one can not exist without the other."
At Chaos\' words, each of them stopped in their tracks, they had heard these words before, but they could not remember where they had heard them.
"Evil or goodness can only be seen as a concept. Evil becomes evil because you see it as evil, and vice versa for good. But who gives you this power?" Chaos said, and Hyperion stood where he was.
"I...I don\'t know, I just choose to believe what I believe." Hyperion said, and Chaos, hearing this, smiled and said, "See, you have the answer, so evil and good remain relative concepts, and I should not control them, if I try to control them, I will become a puppeteer and each of you will turn into a puppet."
These were the words that ended the conversation. There was no need to say any more, it had been learnt that James was not a puppet, or rather that his destiny did not pass through the arrangement, yes Chaos had made small touches, but each of those ways was something James could refuse.
The only thing to do now was to inform James, though the Titans and Nyx and Erebus knew the boy needed to rest. That was why they would wait a short time and then go back to their own business with the news.
After all, the Titans were still searching for those who had tried to revive the Fallen Gods.
Even if they didn\'t come to much of a conclusion, the fact that they were still looking didn\'t change, of course.
