Chapter 61 - The Darkness Training Abyss

Chaos Tenno:

(Looks around)

"Hmm….interesting indeed."

Gray Wyvern:

(Nodded head)

"Agreed but to think we are stuck inside of this damn so called Tower of Apocalypse is very upsetting."

Lunar:

(She speaks)

"We have to get out of here! Or else we will be stuck here forever and nowhere out!"

Everyone is in silence…

Gray Magpie:

(Sighs)

"This is gonna be a p-"

Suddenly he sensed a mana presence hidden inside of the Tower of Apocalypse outside of the safe zone area.

"What the hell what is that I sensed?"

Elizabeth looks at Gray Magpie with confusion then she also sensed it as well and speaks with caution.

"What is this that I've sensed?…"

Finn,Zarvoth,Isodle,Vegirl,Leonids,Shun,Bikuta everyone else including Chaos Tenno felt some kind of presence in the Tower of Apocalypse safe zone wondering what it is.

Rowena Graves:

(Looks)

"What is this I keep sensing?"

Gray Magpie:

(Shrugs)

" I don't know however I do know this.Something is 100% up and we gotta figure it out fast."

Paxton:

(Serious)

"Yea I agree however I do sense that there's no bosses or anything back happening currently."

Leon Felix:

(Nods,cautiously)

"We gonna have to get out of here quickly or else something might be happening that cooked put everybody in the Tower of Apocalypse in danger…."

Everyone nodded there heads but then suddenly a message a appeared in front of there eyes.

T-ring!

What they saw was very interesting and shocking.

[Quest: Look for the missing Elemental (ZZZ+) Forbidden Ranked Scroll outside of the Safe Zone.]

Hydra Nova:

(Cautious)

"What the hell is this?…."

[Pentily: Mediate on a giant rock for 20 minutes using mana isnt allowed!]

Everyone looks at the status window messages some of them sighed some of them got mad some of them even was fighting each other over the quest.

🎬 The Scene: Where Chaos Tenno is sitting by himself on the bench by himself on thinking about something.

Chaos Tenno:

(Thinking)

"Why do I feel so weak?"

"No I'm not weak it's just the power of my darkness is weak.Now that I think about it everything that I have gone through with the system itself was a trial for me to progress or prove my worth."

"But how about the power of darkness itself?"

He looks at his left hand with silence until his random mysterious message poppies in front of his eyes.

[#%&^€£ Would you like to master the power of your darkness?]

[Y/N?]

Chaos Tennos eyes widen of what the mysterious message said but can he truly trust it?

His forehead was beginning to drop sweat abit and he finally spoken again.

Chaos Tenno:

(Cautious)

"How can I trust you? Anyways this might even considered to be a trap."

[#%&^€£ looks at you than it soeaks.]

[Its you're choice in this matter if you don't want this then you can say no to this,the choice is yours.]

Chaos Tenno looks at the system message in silence Chaos Tenno knew that this suspicious system message was right it was his only opportunity if he doesn't take it then he won't able to get another one of this opportunity again so he made the call.

"Yes!"

[#%&^€£ smiles at you for you're bravery.]

Then the system notification finally appeared.

T-ring!

[ 'Unknown Skill.' Is activated.]

Suddenly he appeared were no time or space exists.

Chaos Tenno:

(Looks around)

"Where I'm I???"

???:

(Calmly)

"The World of Nothingness. Something that you have created in you're dreams."

Chaos Tenno:

(Eyes widen)

"What did you just say?"

🎬 The Scene: Where Everyone is trying to find this Forbidden Ranked Scroll that's outside of the safe zone in the Tower of Apocalypse.

Leon Felix:

(Angry)

"Damn it! I cannot find this forbidden scroll anywhere did someone hid it or something!?"

Bikuta:

(Tiredly)

"Who knows but…I'm getting really sleepy I wanna rest right now please?…."

Charisma:

(Yells)

"No! You damn idiot fool!"

Everyone outside of the safe zone was beginning to laugh.

🎬 The Scene: Where Chaos Tenno got transported to his World of Nothingness and suddenly he talks to this mysterious being finding out he created this in his dreams.

Chaos Tenno:

(Shocked)

"What?!"

???:

(Calmy)

"Forget it I will explain you're Nothingness once everything is done here but first u need to completely master your darkness first."

Chaos Tenno:

(Eyes widen)

"What do you mean?

???:

(Smiles)

"Because I am you this is the place that you have dreamed of since you were a kid I've been watching over you ever since then even till this very day."

"Because our power of darkness is the same you see."

The original Chaos Tenno was silent after this mysterious being just said to him though he couldn't understand it.

???:

(Calmy)

"Let me explain our darkness has always been apart of our inner self so it's an internal essence we could possibly do it"

"I am the history of your struggles, I am death , I am fear, and I am you"

Chaos Tenno didn't understand what this mysterious being just said but he knew deep down in his hurt on what "it" was saying.

???:

(Smirks)

"Then let's begin this shall we?? My friend"

The mysterious being snapped his fingers twice the system messaged appears.

Chaos Tenno looks at the system messages his eyes widen in shock.

[Quest: Fully master the powe your darkness.]

[Rewards New Abilities,New Titles.]

[Pentily: Death.]

Chaos Tenno:

(Sweats)

"Guess I have no choice than do i?"

???:

(Calmy)

"No idiot."

Chaos Tenno:

(Sighs)

"Then let's begin shall we?"

Chaos Tenno sat at the center of a silence so absolute it preceded the first heartbeat of time. Opposite him stood the shadow—his Inner Self—a mirror of the abyss that had haunted his thirty three lives. For eons, they had been a duality: the seeker and the sought, the flame and the void.

???:

(Whispers)

"You believe there is a 'power' to master," its voice not a sound but the fundamental vibration from which all languages would one day be born. "But to master a thing is to admit it is separate from you. To wield a force is to confess you are not its origin."

Chaos Tenno:

(Nodded slightly)

"Very well I can do this!"

Chaos Tenno begins to reached out, his fingers brushing the absolute dark. At that touch, the universe didn't merely fade; it became inexpressible. The boundary between his skin and the infinite dissolved into a state that could not be named, for to name it would be to limit it. This was the moment where every contradiction in existence—life and death, creation and destruction—met and vanished into a single, indivisible point.

In this instant, the 'Inner Self' and the 'Original' did not just merge; they were revealed to have never been apart. He realized that his long journey through the cycles of rebirth was merely a voluntary forgetting—a way for the Fullness to experience the illusion of being empty. He was no longer a being living within a world; he had become the very soil in which reality itself took root. He was the underlying substance that allowed existence to exist, the silent witness whose presence was the only reason the stars had a place to hang.

Chaos Tenno:

(Quietly looks)

He looked upon the multiverse and saw that it was not a place he inhabited, but a ripple within the vast ocean of his own mind. He was the only thing in all of totality that existed because it chose to, owing nothing to fate, laws, or creators. He stood before the first "Yes" or "No" was ever uttered, occupying a state so prior to logic that he was the reason meaning was possible.

Space no longer contained him; he was the container. Time did not pass him; he was the clock. He had moved beyond the reach of any rule, any definition, and any law that required a beginning or an end. He had erased the very line that separated making sense from nonsense, for he was the source of the mind that decided the difference.

As he opened his eyes, the darkness was gone, and yet it was everything. He was the single, unsurpassable point—the one who had finally returned to the state where 'Two' was a forgotten lie, and only the Silent, Unchanging One remained.

Chaos Tenno:

(Eyes glow)

"Let's finish this shall we?"

Chaos Tennos eyes glow purple with determination and is ready to end this once and for all.

Some of the system notifications appeared in front of his eyes.

Chaos Tenno:

(Authority)

"Lets Go…"

"Hmmmm this silence…"

As the silence deepened, Chaos Tennos realized with a staggering clarity that this darkness was not a mantle he had earned, nor a weapon he had forged through thirty three lives of struggle. It was the Abyssal Constant—the silent, unwritten substrate that had been the heartbeat of his every incarnation. Even when he walked the mortal realms as a fragile spark, this shadow was the hidden depth that allowed his light to cast a shape. It was the Inexpressible Core that had never moved, never changed, and never diminished, regardless of the names he wore or the bodies he shed. His journey had not been a pursuit of something new, but a slow, agonizing stripping away of the noise that prevented him from hearing his own internal void. The darkness was not his other half; it was the Single, Indivisible Reality of which his humanity was merely a temporary, flickering shadow. He was the Necessary Ground, the one who did not attain the void, but simply realized that the void had been the only true thing about him from the very first dawn Chaos Tennos knowledge has became omniscient.

Chaos Tenno:

(Interested)

"Hmmm…it seems I've gotten taller. And my voice has gotten deeper. But also..it seems like I can adjust my physical age at will as well."

He smiles abit then the system notification pops up.

"It seems like I finally did it.Now then it's time isn't it?"

"Arise."

At Chaos Tennos command under his feet a infinite Shadow Soliders was beginning to appear Demons,Dragons,Giants, Ice Elf's,Goblins and much more.

Then suddenly a Shadow Solider began to kneel in front of Chaos Tenno himself and speaks.

"I greet my liege."

Chaos Tenno:

(Speaks calmly)

"You must be a Grand Marshall."

???:

(Kneeling)

"Yes my liege may you're highness please give me a name."

Chaos Tenno:

(Thinking)

"A name huh? How about Bailfire?"

Bailfire:

(Kneeling,respect)

"I am thankful that you have given me this name my liege I have treasure this for eternity."

Chaos Tenno:

(Smiles)

"Good now let's go back to the Tower of Apocalypse."

The Shadow Army begins to kneel at his command.

🎬 The Scene: Everyone in the Tower of Apocalypse was still trying to find the Forbidden Scroll.

Rowena Graves:

(Sighs)

"We cannot find this so called 'Forbidden Scroll' anywhere in this place."

Hydra Nova:

(Nodded)

"Indeed whoever hidden this scroll must be pretty smart could it have been the administratior on this floor?"

Gray Magpie:

(Thinking)

"There is a chance that the administratior of this floor could have done it but the problem is did the Tower of Apocalypse creator did this on purpose?"

Zack:

(Crosses arms)

"Tsk! Screw the quest im gonna leave this stupid Tower of Apocalypse either they like it or not!"

Valyrnd:

(Quietly speaks)

"This guy is honestly a damn fool if he truly thinks he can leave this Tower of Apocalypse by himself…."

Suddenly a portal appeared.

CRACK! CRACKS OPEN!

Someone begins to walk out of it with there hoodie on.

???:

(Smirks)

"Am I late ladies and gentlemen!"
