Chapter 941 Benladann's Honest Heart
-----
The Chaos Spirit looked at Benladann in disbelief.
"Well, I also didn't suffer any of the things you brought to this world… so I can't really resent you." Said Benladann. "Maybe if I were someone of the past… I might have a different mindset."
"I see…" The Chaos Spirit sighed, looking into the dark floor. "But how are you planning to help us?"
"Haven't you noticed?" The first chaos spirit asked.
"Noticed? What?" Wondered the other.
"This entire space is special; my soul seems to have similar qualities to your dimension. As long as you're here, you can live freely. Also, do you feel any pain?" I wondered.
"The pain of… living in this world is gone as well!" The spirit said.
"Woof!" his chaotic beast agreed, barking like a dog.
"As you can see, I can bring you to my soul to rest as much as you want, and if you make a contract with me, you can even come out and not be affected by this world's laws that damage your bodies." Benladann said. "I plan to do the same with every Chaos Spirit I find… ultimately, I would like to absorb your dying dimension and fuse it with my souls so it keeps itself stable."
"Y-You can even do that?!" The chaos spirit asked.
"I don't know, but as I've become a goddess, it might work." Benladann said with a smile. "We'll have to wait and see!"
"…You're strangely not serious about this." Sighed the spirit. "But it is not like there's any other option now… Alright, I… I guess I can't really do anything else now. I will trust you and lend you my strength and that of Blackie, my loyal hound."
The chaos spirit flew towards Benladann, as his body size was quickly reduced back to a small lump of darkness with a single red eye, and his wolf as well, turning into a small black pup. Both quickly forged a contract with Benladann, turning into her new Spirits. A rush of new power reached her as she continued growing stronger, her soul began growing several times larger, as the landscape within her soul began to change, being no longer just darkness, but a vast land began to emerge, a purple-colored sky, and a black moon shining atop the sky.
This wasn't a Divine Realm, as Benladann's True Divine Realm had yet to find a suitable area that "resonated" with her and which she deemed as her truest "home", but this area was a brand-new power she had developed, something named…
"Chaos Realm…" Miranda said. "How about we give it that name?"
"Ah… Chaos Realm seems okay I guess." Benladann said. "This isn't my divine realm, right? I don't like it looking this gloomy…"
"I don't think it is. But it seems that it might grow larger and stronger the more contracts you make with my kin." The former Scaled God said. "This feels just like home."
"That's right, it feels just so… comfortable…" Sighed the second chaos spirit. "I feel so exhausted… I might sleep for a while here… I'm leaving the rest up to you, Benladann. You may use my powers however you please."
"Woof!"
The chaos spirit and his hound quickly rested over the cold floor, which seemed so strangely comfortable for their kin, as Benladann sighed in relief that things went peacefully.
"I guess that's that." She said while sighing.
"I wonder how many other Chaos Spirits are out there?" Wondered Miranda. "I guess as long as you catch them, they might not be that much of a threat. I hope…"
"I hope so as well, but just like the Scaled God over here, they might be doing some very nasty things already… We can't lower our guards." Said Benladann.
"Yeah, we can't." Miranda said. "And… the whole thing about Ivan… Is he really in this world?"
"…I don't know." Benladann sighed. "I don't really want to talk about it but… if he really is in this world, my interaction with him will all depend on if he's our enemy or not in this world. I will try to not hold any grudges, he already died anyways, so its not like he wasn't punished for what he did to me…"
"Hmm… I guess. Sorry for bringing it up out of nowhere." Miranda apologized.
"Ah, don't worry about it. I am Benladann now anyways… Whatever life I had in the past; it doesn't matter. My beloved husband even revived my parents of this life, and I got them with me back home… I also have to adorable daughters, you, and him. Oh, and tons of friends. And even this cute little snake." Benladann happily petted Shiro. "I couldn't ask for anything else already… I am happy as I am."
"I'm glad." Miranda said with a smile.
The girls smiled at one another as they quickly emerged into the outside world. Drake was right there.
"Benladann! Are you okay!?" He asked nervously.
"I am alright! Don't worry." She said. "I can deal with stuff myself too! Be more confident of your wife, dear."
"Ah… Hahaha… I guess you're right. I am always a worrywart." Drake laughed a bit, as Benladann felt her heart soothed the moment she saw her beloved smile and laugh.
That smile was all she needed in her life, quite honestly.
"So how do you feel?" Wondered Drake.
The Frost Queen and the Fox Venerable were also there eyeing at Benladann's aura, which had grown incredibly big over this time.
"Good! I managed to talk things out with the spirit and he lend me his strength." She said leisurely.
"Wait a second… you didn't simply forcefully ate him?!" Asked the Frost Queen.
"Hehe, it seems you don't know my Benladann." The Fox Venerable said. "She talked it out with the other spirit too! She's just that awesome."
"Since when am I yours?!" Benladann asked while raising an eyebrow. "Drake can you tell the fox to not adress me like that? I am still not too fond of her." Benladann said, as the Fox Venerable felt completely heartbroken.
