IDOLIZING CHAOS

Mama?

Plaque suddenly narrowed his eyes and his instincts screamed out. He peered anxiously through the corner of his eyes and searched everywhere of the said danger. Aeries was still magnetized to the cannon husk and his Soul Energy was being rapidly absorbed by a budded piece of the Cannon. 

'What am I doing, chickening out just because of some curse, just with my carefully laid off-plan, am sure nothing could go wrong

   with that mindset, he closed his eyes and stood motionless like a hermit suddenly gaining enlightenment. Suddenly his closed eyes sprung open in full force and he couldn't help but scream.

 "How is this possible, No, Aahh!" The same spectacle that happened before was immediately repeated and Plaque shot out uncontrollably till he was glued to the Machine part of the cannon. Screaming wildly he watched as the previously magnetized Aeries easily disentangled himself from the same machine. 

   Old Plaque shouted angrily "What did you do? What did you do!?" How could someone he had already marked as dead suddenly turn the tables over him?

  "Oh, you had forgotten one important detail, I own this place. All of it is mine and I can freely control it the way I want."

 "of cause, I knew that, My plans had been so careful it left you with no other path than to become some Energy flowing in space. You! Could it be that you had been cautious of me right from the start?"

   Aeries did not answer but ordered the Artifact softly, [Increase Energy drain]

    "Ahhhhhh!? Stop! Please don't kill me!" Old Plaque continues crying out pitifully as he begs Aeries. Series directly shook his head, what happened here was a reminder that he was now in a dark world where schemes and tricks ruled in supremacy. He could not just feel safe with such a powerful adversary having constant malicious thoughts towards him. 

   'Best to cut off all weeds than to struggle on during harvest... Or die.'

     After some time, Plaque's figure evolved to become elusive and faint, while the Cannon lighted up and started making buzzing sounds. This made him increase his screams. Seeing Aeries with an unresponsive look, Plaque bit his lips and put out the last card he has.

  "Look br-. You can - You can make me your contracted Slave alright! Wouldn't it be great if you had someone powerful like me following you? Just a look and enemies at the Martial King Realm would be extinguished." 

  Aeries' ears perked up immediately. Though he knew what Plaque said was an obvious exaggeration, it wouldn't kill to have him as a slave though.

  "Don't bullshit me, You are only a soul, and a weakened one at that, what makes you think you would be of any help to me."

  Plaque got anxious and shouted out. "What do you mean weak? This old man still had the skills to bend anyone below the Martial King Realm into submission. And my skills and techniques are all out of this world. Moving mountains and calming seas. I can do all that and more." 

   Aeries privately ordered the Artifact to reduce its speed. Giving Plaque a chance to breathe, by now the Artifact was already charged with Plaques Soul energy which was more than enough to destroy the beast if conjoined with the already reserved energy. 

   "So, how do I make you my Slave, that's assuming I even want to "

 Who was Plaque, he had already noticed that Aeries was fully enraptured by his proposal as kept his chin up and his head turned to the other side, like a Woman trying to make it hard for her Pursuer?

   "Boy, don't be mistaken okay, it's a contract am willing to take with you. Do you think you can just bind me forever? This old man here would freely give up his life right here if you don't accept"

  Aeries nodded in acknowledgment, for a Powerhouse like this to be a slave to some backward kid, it was a shame to their pride. If Aeries adamantly pushed him to the edge, there's no doubt he would rather give up his life than Accept to be a Slave for him.

  "I understand, about the contract though -"

  "This Father here can only stay around you for 6 months, no A year. And after that, I must leave."

 Aeries openly snorted and ordered the Cannon to increase its speed.

  "Wait! I was joking. Hehe, you can have me for 2, or 3 years- Stop! Don't you know how to barter? Fine, 5 years. This old man would not increase it anymore."

  After that, it was easy as sipping hot tea, although Aeries had next to no Idea about contracting Souls since he had only used Soul Chains before, The weak Plaque carefully taught him a skill to utilize. Although both of them had other ideas, none of them acted upon them in the end.

  "Great, Now to Bash this Monster up. Ha Ha," with this burden lifted from him, Aeries grinned foolishly and pressed some controls on the Panel. Of course, he released Plaque first. 

 "Brat, although there is enough Energy to kill this thing five times, don't think it'll be as easy as that. You should know that the probability of hitting a viral Part of the beast should just be about 30% or less."

  CLANG! 

  Aeries carefully adjusted the last fraction and smiled. "I was wondering why so much ammo was wasted in the period you were so lost in time. Guess I have my answer now. Not to worry Old man, I guarantee more than 80% accuracy on the first shot.

   Intense Whirling sounds came out of the Cannon as it hissed and Lit up.

 Aeries then used his consciousness to direct the 20-meter long Neck in the direction he wanted. And waited...

 BOOOOOM.

   With a force enough to extinguish a complete mountain, A bright light shot forth from the Cannon nuzzle and proceeded to strike the Time Monster. This light was blinding, but even more swift, and it went obstructed through the waxy barrier and struck the Beast.

  Aeries was momentary blinded and deafened by the explosion and quickly blocked his ears while laughing maniacally, he felt as if he was a renowned General in the Mid era of Chinese culture as he kept shouting out commands.

 After the 3rd blow, the Monster could no longer hold on and fell freely downwards. [Open barrier] 

   Immediately, the thin boundary disappeared and the 90-tonne monster slammed on the artifact open space. With Aeries in control, he had barely opened up a space large enough to contain this beast.

   " Finally, I've done this much, my future breakthroughs would surely unimpeded till the Martial Flying Lord Realm." 

  "Master! We've caught a huge Fish! Gained big time. Look over here, these gold scales on its body indicate that this here is of High blood. HeHe." 

  Plaque shouts woke Aeries up from his self accomplish daze.

   "What does high blood mean."

 "Fool! This means that it is of a higher grade than other monsters. It's like King Beast in the Mortal realm. Although there are hard to find and even harder to kill, the stored in them Is almost 10 times that of a normal one of the same age. Sometimes even more!"

  "What kind of Slave abuses his own Master this way. Humph, weren't you the one who was adamantly against It, let me make it clear to you now, even when you gain a body, none of this would be yours. Ha ha a-"

  "ROOOOOOAAAAARRRR" 

    Both Plaque and Aeries suddenly froze as jolts of shocks washed through them, causing both of them to shudder continually, With fright, they swerved their heads from their catch and turned to face an 800meter Titan that blocks their view.

   "I forgot to add, one of the reasons why they are hard to kill is because they come in packs. And High bloods' are very Vengeful." The frightened voice from Plaque rang out.
