Affinity: Chaos



Grey didn't feel too much emotion when he saw the young man running, the attack vanished and appeared behind him, hitting him in the back. 

The young man was unable to scream and his entire figure vanished before Grey's eyes. There wasn't any loud explosion like Grey's normal fusion orb, the orb just vanished, along with the figure of the young man. 

If a stranger walked there at the moment, they wouldn't see any signs of any powerful attacks. It was almost as if Grey had been there all alone all this while. 

Grey didn't brood over the matter and chased after the young man in the Fourth stage. He already marked him so he knew where the young man was located. 

When he caught up with the young man, the young man was staring at him, breathing heavily. He was scared out of his mind. 

"You don't have to pay evil with evil." He said in a low voice. 

Grey scoffed when he heard this. The young man knew he was not his match, so he wanted to get Grey to leave him alone. 

Unfortunately for him, Grey had never been a soft person, as long as he felt threatened by a person, he would take out that threat. Unless he was weaker, but so long as he was stronger, he would remove that threat.

He wasn't in the mood to talk to the young man as he attacked the next minute. The young man was someone in the Fourth stage of the Elemental Venerable Plane. Although he was afraid of Grey, it didn't mean he couldn't fight back. 

This was the reason Grey left him for last, this way he would get enough time to deal with him and the others wouldn't be able to escape. 

Boom! 

The young man blocked Grey's attack but was forced to take some steps back. 

'If I can deal with his powerful explosive attacks, then I should be able to deal with him.' He thought to himself. 

It was well known that Grey's attacks were very powerful. He felt as long as he could last for a few minutes, he would be able to get the better of Grey once he started to lose his cool. 

Grey had no idea what was going through the head of the young man, even if he did, he wouldn't care about it. Other than his explosive attack power, he still had his terrifyingly strong physique. No one knows of this due to the fact that it was greatly enhanced after he entered this place. Some people knew his body was strong, but only those who had experienced it knew how strong it was. Unfortunately, most of those people didn't make it out alive. 

He started to exchange blows with the young man, he gained the advantage from the start, but the young man was able to successfully defend himself against Grey. 

Fighting against a single opponent, the great advantage Grey had against multiple opponents is not as obvious as now. He can only overpower his opponents at this point, but he had lost the edge of that surprise attack the space element allowed him. 

This didn't take away his strength in any way. 

The young man didn't try to match Grey attack for attack, blocking the ones he could and dodging most of them. 

Grey couldn't help but shake his head. There were things he needed to do, fighting with this young man for a long time wasn't something he wanted. 

After thinking about it for a while, he decided to try out his new attack. 

While he was in the middle of creating the orb, the young man attacked, not giving him the chance. 

When the young man sensed the aura that was gathering in the orb, he knew he couldn't give Grey the chance to create it else it would be detrimental to him. 

Grey didn't feel down, with a flick of his hand, ice shards started to rain from the sky, accompanied by lightning. 

His surroundings started to show signs of going through a chance, lava appeared. This time, there was a difference between when he was just using his fire and earth element. The hotness from the lava scared the young man. 

This lava was made from the combination of his fire and earth domain. He only thought of trying it after successfully making a new form of his fusion orb. With these new experiments, he had more attack options. 

The young man wasn't prepared to be covered in a sea of seething lava. His darkness element spread around his body as he tried to fight against it. 

While he was doing this, Grey unleashed a lightning storm at him, using his lightning element. 

"Three domains?!" The young man exclaimed, dumbstruck. 

He had already pieced everything together and knew the lava was made from Grey's domains. He already felt Grey was a freakish entity for having two domains, with the appearance of the lighting domain, the number increased to three. 

"Actually, it's four." Grey said with a smile as a large blizzard started from his side before moving to engulf the young man. 

"Impossible! Impossible!" The young man was finding it hard to accept the reality of things. 

Accepting that Grey had three domains was already very difficult and heart wrenching, but now he had to accept Grey had four. This was already past what some top experts had, yet Grey had it. 

'Four elements, four domains. Still in the Second stage of the Elemental Venerable Plane. Doesn't this make him the greatest genius ever?' 

Even at this point, the young man still had to access Grey. It wasn't that he wanted to, but he just couldn't help it. 

Being forced to fight against the greatest genius of all time was more like a sin. Now he understood why Grey could easily fight well above his stage even when fighting against multiple opponents. 

'Does he also have one for his space element?' He asked himself, at that moment he was struck with something, 'He also has the space element? Doesn't that make it five elements?' 

Only now did he recall that Grey also had the space element, that made it five elements for a single person, and of the five elements, he had already awakened the domains for four. Just thinking about it made his heart beat rapidly. 

"Ah!" 

His painful shrieks soon followed. 

All of Grey's domain broke through his defense while he was still thinking about Grey's freakishness. It was unknown if he would've been able to escape if he wasn't distracted by Grey's awesomeness. 

Grey had no idea his talent was what shocked the young man to death, and he didn't care. 

After taking care of this young man, he noticed there were still ripples of battles from multiple places. 

'Guess I was the first.' 

He turned in the direction of the place where he could feel the strongest ripples. Void should be there since he was the one who took the young lady in the Fifth stage of the Elemental Venerable Plane. 

When Grey got to the place, he noticed Void was having a difficult time against the young lady and the other person he was fighting. 

'I'll take one of them, take out the other.' He communicated with Void telepathically. 

His aura was hidden, he wanted to take them by surprise. At least with his explosive power, he should be able to kill or at least seriously hurt whoever he targets. 

The young lady in the Fifth stage was his original target, but after some thought, he decided to go for the weaker young man who was there. First off, Grey didn't want to take the chance of him not being able to successfully hit the young lady.

With her strength, she might be able to sense him at the last minute. 

After concluding with Void, he targeted the young man. They planned on how Void would take him close to him so he would not have to teleport for a long distance and be discovered. 

Void, who was already tired of the battle, dragged them to the place. The young lady didn't notice anything strange. Only after Void risked injuries to force her back did she notice a strange pattern. 

"Becare…" 

She hadn't finished her statement when Grey appeared like a ghost behind the young man and grabbed his head, making it disappear from his body. 

The headless body of the young man fell on the ground. 

Even Void was forced to take a quick glance at Grey. He sensed the space element in Grey's casual grab.

'His control over the space element has increased.' He thought to himself. 

Grey wouldn't have been able to do this a few days ago, but now, he did it so seamlessly that it would be difficult for others to figure out how he did it. 

"You… what are you doing here?" The young lady asked, a bit shocked. 

"Oh, your guys told me I can leave, so I came over to help." Grey replied with a smile.
