Chaos realized the new and amazing potential of his Skills but felt like he needed some more. He knew that he could still fuse, but he wanted more results than just three skills fusing, several if not dozen of skills fusing over each other was the best way to get these insane type of skills that gave him a crazy amount of power and could completely change his way of fighting.

His armor skill alone had completely given him an amazing advantage over Loid back then, and now, with this new array of skills, his power had skyrocketed to new and insane levels.

After a week of preparations, however, the barrier was done, and the walls had been reinforced dozens of times over and over, while also being molded and made pretty, they didn't looked like ugly gray stone anymore, but they were shaped and refined with a lot of help from several of Chaos servants, many aided into making the city pretty after Chaos did the "skeleton" of all things, so now it looked like a complete paradise in the middle of a lugubrious wasteland.

"It is ready, my lord!" Belphegor alerted Chaos of the last preparations being ready, the last Mana Core Battery, which Chaos built up in hundreds which he spread across the underground of the city had been finally set.

These Mana Core Batteries were made by Chaos through the use of Synthesis by dozens of Alchemist who merged enormous Magic Crystal quantities which Chaos continuously created, fusing them with the materials of his armor which were also very mana-conductive, what was made was but something completely insane. They were enormous red jewels that could contain literal millions of mana within.

After Chaos were to fill all these dozens of batteries, they could last for years without stopping, and even then, they refilled themselves by absorbing the natural mana from the environment and also from the citizens in very small quantities to not negatively affect them. And even more, if the citizens had their mana drained slowly so it wasn't painful or annoying, they would all be passively training their mana, making it grow very fast, so it was killing two birds with one stone.

After the last battery was set, Chaos nodded with Abyss and Erebus at his side, as he touched the enormous red crystal floating right behind his throne, this was the Grand Demonic Mana Core, the biggest battery of mana Chaos has created, capable of containing 100 million Mana within. It took a while, but he created it in just a week alongside all others with the aid of the alchemist that Edward has been actively training and mass producing from talentless and ignorant beings such as Goblins or Orcs, or even skeletons and more, who had no talent for Alchemy yet still learned it anyways thanks to the elf's teachings.

When all things were ready, the enormous barrier of chaos emerged in the sky, as if night had come…

However, the barrier suddenly and slowly began to turn transparent, as many runes activated all around its existence, these were Illusion Veil, Stealth, and Camouflage Runes, which Chaos had added into the crystals which would activate after the Chaos Barrier were to be erected.

As the barrier disappeared, the sky above was revealed once more.

The Chaos Barrier was still there, and it covered the sky from any threat. And even more, the barrier was circular, meaning that it was a bubble that also protected the Kingdom from below or from all sides… Unless there was someone capable of ignoring the corrosive properties of chaos altogether, they would never be able to get through unscathed, and by merely getting through the barrier several more barriers would be triggered as an emergency measure, making the trip of crossing them even more painful.

Chaos would be easily alerted by this and come rushing here through the Teleportation Jewels as well, so even if he were to be at the other side of the continent or something, he would be able to come here and quickly deal with whatever could be here

There were also hundreds of small and developing clones of Chaos flesh and soul, which he had been slowly producing every day by devouring souls and making more mass to divide it. His flesh clones were also developing fast, mostly resembling formless masses of flesh, they slowly began to take varied forms by devouring other creatures and increasing their power and cultivation.

Although they still required more development, after some time, such clones could evolve into competent guardians aside from the already terrifying entities and warriors that lived in here.

The most interesting thing was that just as Chaos and the rest of his allies and citizens were inspecting this whole barrier and seeing its amazing performance, an enormous ray of pink-colored psionic energy fell from the sky and clashed over the barrier.

BOOOOOOOOMMMM!

SPARK! SPARK! SPARK!

CLAAAAAASH!

TRUUUUMMM!

Poof!

The entire ray of cataclysmic proportions came from the outer space, from an enormous nautilus-shaped mothership where a large amount of Mindflayers were about to raid Chaos Kingdom.

The ray, however, was easily blocked.

Chaos looked over the skies as his senses couldn't cover such an enormous distance yet… Abyss and the rest of his people quickly realized that an invader was approaching!

"My lord, invaders this soon?!" asked Belphegor.

"I believe so. They seem bold enough to fire such an attack from outer space… Not even I would had been able to detect it. Good thing we made this barrier just in time… It was very close…" said Chaos, his eyes flashing with enormous wrath as his abyssal dark aura emerged from his body, blazing like an infernal flame. His body quickly exploded into chaotic tornado as an enormous and monstrous dragon appeared, covered from head to toe into thick crimson-red armor, several arms emerged from it as he fused the armor over with a golden one, enhancing his power even further. An enormous, sawed blade was summoned in one of his claws, flashing with bright yellow-gold light.

"How generous of them to bring themselves to my plate willingly…"
