"What kind of power is that?"
Chthon cautiously looked at the cards in Aron's hand.
That cautious expression greatly relieved the heart of Wanda, the Lord of Chaos.
It seemed that she wasn't the only one who couldn't do anything against this… thing.
Neither the Vishanti nor Chthon could do anything either.
After all, the only one unafraid, Set had already been sent by Aron into the world of Cthulhu to meet Azathoth.
Wanda didn't know what Cthulhu was.
Nor did she know who Azathoth was.
But those journeys, into which she had been forcibly dragged, had still given her a certain understanding of Aron.
And that knowledge told her clearly…
Cthulhu was definitely not a good place!
After several forced expulsions.
The two-in-one Lord of Chaos was completely confused about her situation.
Both Wandas within her realized one thing.
And that was, they couldn't do anything against Aron.
Fight, they could, in theory; after all, Aron's individual strength wasn't infinite, but the gap in magnitude between them was simply too large.
But the problem was that Aron never gave the Lord of Chaos a chance to strike at all.
And the Lord of Chaos gradually began to understand…
That, if Aron wanted to, he could completely banish her to the world of Cthulhu, just like he did with Set.
Even though Wanda claimed to be the Lord of Chaos, possessing various forms of power…
She didn't think she was any stronger than the Serpent God Set.
If even Set couldn't survive in that Cthulhu world, then she certainly wouldn't fare any better.
"Man, I've never seen such a contradictory being as you."
Meanwhile.
Chthon watched the cards in Aron's hand cautiously.
While quietly observing Aron.
He didn't need to look for long, just one glance almost fried his CPU.
Who could possibly possess, at the same time: the Serpent Crown, the power of the Vishanti, the power of demons across multiple dimensions, including the Devil's own power and finally, a power even Chthon himself couldn't see?
"Aren't you afraid that these energies will clash inside your body?"
Chthon didn't say it out loud.
But his question was conveyed to Aron through his gaze.
"Less talk, stop probing, you should know why I came here."
Aron didn't show even a trace of respect to this god of dark magic.
Just as he hadn't shown any to Set.
And Set's fate…
At that moment, Chthon already roughly knew it.
As the source of dark magic, Chthon possessed countless kinds of spells that allowed him to forcibly read information from others' minds.
But he didn't dare use them on Aron…
In fact, even if he tried, Aron's holy soul would block him.
But from the body of the Lord of Chaos… from the mind of the comic version of Wanda…
Chthon had already read everything he needed.
Including information about how Aron had threatened the Vishanti and exiled the Serpent God.
"Man, do you even know who I am? Do you know who you're talking to?"
"I am Chthon!"
"The Great Demon Shadow!"
"The space beyond space! Time beyond time! The Great Shadow! The Invisible and Nameless One!"
"I am the embodiment of evil!"
"But even the word 'evil' is too small to describe me…"
Even though Chthon had already learned about Aron's special abilities through one half of the Lord of Chaos,
he still felt he needed to maintain his pride.
After all, he was an ancient, multidimensional being, one of the true great entities.
If he submitted so easily, he would lose face among the other old forces.
"I advise you to stop pretending to be important, it's better for you to cooperate."
"If you don't calm down, you'll die and if you survive, you'll suffer."
The Lord of Chaos sighed.
It wasn't clear whether it was the comic Wanda or the movie M-Wanda speaking.
In any case, the meaning was the same… Be smart, don't resist, it's for your own good~
"She's right."
Aron nodded and gave the Lord of Chaos a thumbs-up.
"Once upon a time, the child didn't understand life, thought he had to humble himself and hide, using fake names and deception."
"But now it's different, now I understand. When you have power, you don't need to lie."
Because…
"The management reform is over, now it's robbery!"
Aron grasped the exorcism card, like a true king of games.
His index finger rested on the drawing of the spirit on the card, no, on the exorcism seal.
White light flickered, aimed at Chthon.
"To briefly explain, this card can send you to a beautiful 5A tourist destination, called Honghuang."
"There, they have a profession called guides, they're called sages. They can guide you, like the Sanqing, Nuwa, and others. If you're lucky, maybe Hongjun himself will welcome you personally."
Aron spoke in a friendly tone.
"By the way, you can try saying the word 'Hongjun' now."
"Come on, try it."
What's there to fear? Chthon thought.
He had never heard of any Honghuang, nor of those sages, nor of this Hongjun.
Although deep in his soul he felt a vague threat warning him not to say that name,
Chthon thought: "I'm a great demon! What do I have to fear…"
"Hong…"
Boom——!
He had only said "Hong," but before he could finish with "jun,"
that interdimensional reality, called the Shimmering Dimension, almost collapsed!
Even though Chthon stopped in time and didn't say the final syllable,
countless cracks had already appeared all around him.
The entire Shimmering Dimension instantly fell into instability.
"!!!"
Chthon was stunned.
Even though destroying a dimension wasn't difficult for him.
But the problem was… he hadn't even seen what kind of force nearly destroyed his world!
He had only uttered a name, and not even fully —
and the entire dimension fell apart!
"Repair dimension!"
Shuddering, Chthon used part of his power.
He repaired the dimension that was about to vanish at any moment.
As already mentioned…
Chthon could easily destroy or repair a dimension.
That was no problem for him.
What truly terrified him was the unknown.
He couldn't even sense how the dimension began collapsing, let alone understand that power.
He wasn't even sure if the other had used any power at all!
Thinking of that…
Chthon suddenly turned toward Aron.
"Aron, was it?"
"If you don't mind, I'll call you buddy."
"In the future, you can freely use my power, without restriction."
"I'm not like the Vishanti, acting like masters and putting on airs."
Chthon's attitude changed.
For Aron, that was no surprise.
Ever since the first little display of the exorcism card earlier, Chthon's first behavioral reversal was inevitable.
Aron knew… this famous god of dark magic
had a very predictable personality pattern.
"Buddy, wait a second, I'll help you solve this problem first!"
Finally!
After Lucifer Morningstar, the Vishanti, and the Serpent God Set,
after all those encounters,
someone was finally willing to help Aron solve the Lord of Chaos!
"Why do I feel like this won't end well?"
Aron touched his nose.
Then turned and looked at Wanda, the Lord of Chaos.
