Within the Tower of Sin

Erebos watches from his place atop his tower as the millions of people down beneath the tower move around while locked into their sin. Whether it's people going around slaughtering everyone in a rampage of Wrath, people satiating their endless Gluttony, or any of the other Sins. He just watches them with a sick smile on his face while only occasionally glancing at the System screen next to him.

One showing Ashley as she finishes off the last opponent in the semi-final round of the tournament.

But despite what many people would expect, the man doesn't show any dislike towards her. Instead he smiles at the screen.

Certainly coming along.

He nods his head with more than a little satisfaction.

Then the Chaos he sees on the screen vanishes and a bolt of crimson lightning strikes within his tower, following which the scarlet mist at the edge of his tower's domain splits and a massive raven flies through it. One that quickly lands on his tower right in front of him.

Erebos doesn't move from his spot on his throne as the Primordial of Chaos shapeshifts into his human form.

His beautiful human form. One sculpted into perfection.

Although Erebos personally would prefer to see him in his female form again.

Erebos ignores the symbols of lust flashing in his own eyes as he leans his head on his shoulder with his elbow resting on his armrest. And he doesn't hide how he looks at Chaos. He even bluntly asks, "If you're going to visit, couldn't you do it in your female form? It would be a lot more pleasant."

Rage fills Chaos's eyes at Erebos's question, but Erebos isn't bothered by it. In fact, he feels excited at the sight of the rage in her eyes.

Although the reason is unknown to the rest of Erebos, his lust side has only ever had eyes for one person before. Chaos. And only Chaos's female form, even if he believes his male form is perfect too.

Until his precious little daughter came along. Because despite what many people say, she is the spitting image of Chaos's female form.

To Erebos's surprise, Chaos suddenly teleports in front of him with a flash of crimson lightning before slamming his fist into Erebos's face. Immediately snapping him out of his lustful haze and replacing the Lust symbols in his eyes with those of Wrath.

And just like that, Erebos's personality swaps and he roars out in anger while jumping up from his throne and attacking Chaos in return. Without a shred of that lustful affection his Lust personality had for him or his daughter.

Instead his thoughts turn to nothing but wanting to tear Chaos limb from limb and steal his Successor right out from under him.

But as usual, his greatest strengths turn into nothing but party tricks before Chaos's innate skills as the symbols floating around Erebos are ignored by Chaos.

"Keep your filthy mitts off of Ashley," Chaos says, his cold voice echoing through the tower without even a hint of his usual playfulness. "Don't even look in her direction."

His words and actions of suppressing Erebos send Erebos even further over the edge as one of the Wrath symbols in his eyes begin to burn with a fiery blaze as the other is replaced by a symbol of Pride. One glowing with a bright purple light. And thanks to these, Erebos's own physical strength soars, and he slaps Chaos's hand away, in turn sending Chaos flying as well. Only for the Primordial to catch himself mid-flight and glare at Erebos in turn.

Both Primordials glare at each other before they begin attacking each other back to back, sending shockwaves out that slaughter everything outside of the Tower of Sin's territory. Everything except for the people lost to Sin down beneath the tower who are in a different direction from where the shockwaves are heading.

But with each clash, the Primordial of Sin shows far worse injuries than the Primordial of Chaos. Showing a clear winner for who is stronger.

Until all of his injuries quickly begin to close up as the energy created by the Sins of all creatures within the universe flood into Erebos's body. Empowering and healing him in the process.

And he's not the only one as Chaos's own wounds heal as well, albeit at a slower pace as chaos energy around them turns into a tempest and enters his body.

Then the two Primordials are once again left staring at each other with the mist around the Tower of Sin slowly reforming, and the faint sight of destroyed planets visible on the other side of the mist. Only until the mist completely reforms, blocking the sight of the outside universe once more.

Seconds pass before the two Primordials go at it again, except with Erebos beginning to gain a lead on Chaos in terms of power. Simply because they are within his Tower, and the longer he is exposed to Sin energy, the stronger he becomes.

And there is no place in the universe as filled with Sin energy as the Tower of Sin itself.

"Enough!" Justicar's voice suddenly echoes through the Tower of Sin, following which a bolt of golden lightning strikes down in the middle of them and a massive lion appears with anger clear in his eyes. "Leave the fighting to your Successors and act like proper Primordials!!!"

Silence fills the tower again with the only sounds being those made from the Sinners beneath the Tower of Sin.

Then Chaos breaks it as he turns into his raven form again and declares, "Our dispute will not end until Erebos is dead. There will be no way around it, Justicar. Not this time."

And without letting Justicar say a single word, Chaos vanishes. But not before creating millions of monsters that immediately begin to attack the Sinners down beneath the Tower of Sin, slaughtering them all in the process.

Which only serves to rile up Erebos even more as his Pride symbol once again turns to Wrath, leaving him with two Wrath symbols in his eyes.

Justicar lets out a sigh and leaves, not even bothering with speaking to the least rational Primordial of them all.

Then, after Erebos vents his rage on a few nearby planets to his Tower, he sits down on his throne again with his personality doing a complete flip once more.

As symbols of Sloth appear in his eyes.

So bothersome…

He yawns while lying down across his throne with his head on one armrest and his legs over the other. All while several screens appear once more.

Then he starts humming a calming tune before his eyes droop closed and he falls asleep.
