"Cough! Cough!" Bexia coughed violently, spitting out a mouthful of blood. If Basu's recent kick had been stronger, he might have been dead by now.

"You have so many secrets, but once I turn you into my servant, all will belong to me!" Basu held Bexia's head and lifted him up, abyssal energy burst from his hand and flowed into Bexia's orifices like poisonous snakes.

The invasion of alien power felt like being stabbed by a sharp blade to Bexia. But now, he was unable to resist and could only passively be corroded by the abyssal energy.

Gradually, Bexia's consciousness began to blur as the abyssal energy eroded his body and inner power forcefully. Once this process was complete, even if he remained conscious, he would become an abyssal creature, just like those goblins.

Basu sensed that Bexia had almost no resistance left. As more abyssal energy entered his body, a hideous smile appeared on Basu's face. Although not the ugliest among demons, in the eyes of human aesthetics, describing him as "ugly" would be an insult to the word itself!

"Let me see what secrets you've been hiding!" Basu opened his mouth wide, like a black hole, exerting a strange suction force directly on Bexia's soul.

Abyssal demons almost always had a habit of devouring souls, as it was a talent that strengthened their own souls and allowed them to access the memories of the consumed souls.

The power of devouring souls tore at Bexia's soul, but to Basu's surprise, his usually effective power had no effect this time. Bexia's soul remained steadfast under his strength.

"If that's the case, then let yourself fall into the abyss completely!" Unable to consume Bexia's soul, Basu intensified the output of abyssal energy, intending to transform Bexia into an abyssal servant entirely, so that all the secrets would be his.

Bexia had lost interest long ago. He felt like he was trapped in a dark space, surrounded by chaos. He was like a weightless balloon drifting aimlessly.

"I must wake up!" It was not Bexia's consciousness, but another consciousness transmitting to him.

"Hmm!?" Bexia opened his eyes and vaguely saw a figure. He shook his head but still couldn't see clearly.

It was not because his vision was blurry, but the figure in front of him was blurry. From the outline, Bexia could tell that this figure was actually the "himself" he saw in Chaos Divinity earlier.

"You might be surprised, but in fact, we are the same person, so you don't have to worry about me harming you!" The blurry figure spoke, with a voice identical to Bexia's.

"The same person?!" Bexia didn't know how to express his current emotions. One day, suddenly a person identical to you stands before you and claims to be you—it's a situation that catches anyone off guard.

"My time is running out, so I'll make it brief: remember what I'm about to say, don't tell anyone, don't even think about it normally, bury it deep in your heart and keep it to yourself!" The figure's tone was solemn and serious, making Bexia nervous.

"Sometimes enemies are not really enemies; the hidden dagger at your back will end everything…"

"The enemy is not always the enemy; the hidden blade behind will end everything…" Bexia repeated this sentence, frowning deeply as he pondered the cryptic message within.

"I don't expect you to understand now, just remember this sentence!" A figure sighed, then continued, "If you have the chance, go and take a look into the Abyss, perhaps…"

At this point, the figure suddenly trembled violently, its form becoming ethereal as if on the brink of disappearance.

"What's happening to you?" Bexia asked involuntarily.

"In the end, I will entrust my remaining power to you…" With these words, the figure's voice became more elusive.

Meanwhile,

"!?" Baso suddenly furrowed his brows as an aura slowly emanated from Bexia's body.

"Snap!" Baso's hand that was hanging down suddenly gripped Baso's hand, the fair palm gradually morphing into sharp claws from fingertips to upper arm, from the top of the head to the tip of the toes.

"Crack!" With a vast difference in size between the two hands, the smaller one casually twisted, and Baso's arm was directly broken from the wrist, causing Bexia's body to fall to the ground. At the moment of landing, Bexia's feet also transformed into dragon-like feet, with sharp claws shimmering ominously.

"Hehe hahaha!" Bexia burst into manic laughter, casually tossing away Baso's broken hand as if disposing of trash, completely assuming the same state as when facing Arahtys earlier.

"You... you are..." Baso looked in horror at the current Bexia, his body trembling uncontrollably not from the pressure of a superior powerhouse, but from a different kind of suppression.

Though Bexia's power had not changed, the aura exuded throughout his body was terrifying to Baso, akin to an ordinary person encountering a ghost, a suppression from the level of life itself.

Just as a flying dragon, no matter how powerful, would bow down and submit in the presence of a pure-blooded dragon's might, the situation between Bexia and Baso was the same.

The abyssal aura emanating from Bexia was stronger than Baso's, leaving Baso with only fear and more fear; under the oppression of the superior demon's aura, he lacked even the courage to resist.

In the Abyss world, the higher the demon, the more terrifying it is. Even if newly born, they are not entities that ordinary demons can look upon. A single glance is sometimes enough to kill a demon.

This is not something that can be changed by strength or equipment but a suppression that stems from the level of life.

"I didn’t expect that in my final moments before disappearing, I would have to deal with garbage like you!"

"Bexia" seemed disdainful, making a grasping motion towards Baso's chest. An invisible force extracted a thumb-sized crystalline core from Baso's body, the core of Baso as an elemental demon.

"No!!!" Baso watched his core being pulled from his body, eventually landing in Bexia's hand, which he then lightly crushed.

As the core shattered, Baso's attempt to reach for it abruptly stopped, his body gradually turning into ashes and disappearing.

Upon crushing Baso's core, the power within exploded naturally, but it barely caused a ripple. Even when "Bexia" gently absorbed it, all the power within the core entered into his body effortlessly.

"Mmm!?" His body swayed slightly, and Bexia's consciousness regained control of his body. He stared blankly at his current appearance, his mind retaining the information about this state.

"Chaos: The End!"
