Affinity: Chaos

The old lady stared at Void for a few seconds, trying to comprehend how it was possible.

She knew of powerful magical beasts with high bloodlines that could talk after getting to a certain stage but never had she heard of a small cat like this being able to speak.

”How… what are you?” She asked slowly.

”Iʼm lord cat, now, kneel before my magnificence. Also, hand over all your shiny things,” Void stuck out his chest as he said.

The old lady froze when she heard Voidʼs introduction, unsure of what to do. First, the cat referred to himself as a lord, and now heʼs seemingly trying to rob her.

ʼSuch a strange world,ʼ She said to herself.

”Come on lady, I donʼt have all the time in the world,” Voidʼs voice interrupted her train of thoughts.

”Huh? Oh, little cat, can you let me go so I can help the Prince?” The old lady asked with a meek smile, ”If you help me, the Emperor will give you all the shiny things you want,”

”Oh… shiny things, how big are they?” Void asked wide-eyed.

”Very big,” The old lady opened her hands wide.

”I heard the Emperor has a nice shiny crown, if he can give me that, then Iʼll think about letting you go,” Void said after a few seconds of silence.

”Yes, yes, the crown is very shiny. He has three, and all of them are very shiny. There are valuable gemstones engraved in all of them,” The old lady said.

She didnʼt know anything about Void, but from how he asked for shiny things during his introduction, she guessed he must be obsessed with them. And from his reaction, her guess was on point.

ʼHehe, stupid animal, once I get out of here, youʼre dead,ʼ She thought internally.

”Nice. Thanks for the information, now I know I donʼt have to steal only one crown,” Void said with gratitude.

”Sorry?” The old lady looked at Void, stunned by his words, ”Steal the Emperorʼs crown?”

”Yeah. I figured youʼd know a thing or two about him, so I tricked you into speaking of it,” Void explained with a small chuckle.

”Little cat, thatʼs not a wise thing to do. Youʼre a magical beast that managed to gain intelligence, why donʼt you let me out and Iʼll give you all the hidden techniques we have on magical beasts, what do you say?” The old lady acted like she didnʼt hear Voidʼs words and tried to coax Void again.

”Iʼm not that dumb lady. If you manage to get out of here alive, then you can thank your stars,” Void said coldly.

”What do you mean?” The old ladyʼs expression changed.

”In my domain, Iʼm god,” Void replied.

With the end of his statement, the space around them began to crack. The old lady could literally see cracks opening up in the sky, and the aura from within it terrified her.

”What… what are… wait, a domain?” She asked in shock.

”Oh, judging from your reaction, this is not the first time youʼre hearing of domains. Looks like youʼre wiser than I thought,” Void answered.

After he finished refining the Dragon blood essence, he awakened his domain. This first domain he awakened was the space domain, and he couldnʼt be happier.

When he brought the old lady here, he decided to try out the ability of the domain, and he had been impressed by it so far.

The distance of the domain was around four to five hundred meters, and with the increase in his strength, the domain will continue to expand.

The OʼBrien family was already regarding Ellis to be a genius amongst geniuses because of how quickly he was able to awaken his domain. However, if they were to hear of Voidʼs case, they might faint from the sheer shock.

One has to know that Ellis was already in the Sage Plane, so he wasnʼt too far from awakening his domain. Void however was still a Rank Five magical beast which was equivalent to the Overlord Plane. This was something unheard of.

”The last time a domain was used in this world was during the ancient times, the great war of gods. I never thought I would get to experience one in this lifetime,” The old lady muttered, still in shock.

”Lady, you must be crazy. This place is too small, so you havenʼt been able to see things. Unfortunately, this is the end for you,” Void said.

The cracks in the sky continued increasing, slowly sucking in anything around them.

The old lady looked around and attacked. According to what she read about, a domain could forcibly be destroyed if the creator was weaker than the person trapped inside.

Never in a million years does she think that Void was more powerful. Actually, she even felt pity for him because even with such a powerful ability, he was too weak.

Bang!

Her attack went into one of the cracks, and a powerful shockwave came out from the crack. After a few seconds, it started to flicker before fading.

Void wasnʼt downhearted when one of the cracks was destroyed by the old lady. He knew she wasnʼt someone weak.

A tornado rose up from the ground, trying to destroy all the cracks that were close to her. As time went on, the tornado started to send out wind blades, while the old lady moved out on her own, her speed was on another level.

She wasnʼt called Overlord Gale for no reason. When she rose to fame, she was regarded as one of the fastest Elementalists in the Azure Empire, even Lightning Elementalists paled in comparison to her speed.

A few seconds later, she was holding onto Void, with a wind blade in her hand, ready to slice it through the body of Void.

”Little cat, I like you, or else you would be dead. Let me go, and come with me freely, maybe then you can join us,” The old lady offered.

”Iʼm not interested in becoming allies with the Emperor,” Void replied, ”Also, over here,”

The old lady turned in the direction of the voice, and to her surprise, Void was standing in the sky, perfectly fine. She hurriedly looked at her hands, and there was nothing there.

”How did…”

”I already told you, in my domain, I am god,” Void replied before his size suddenly started to increase.
