    Marble [Toxic substances are not always useless. If used well, they can be a cure for illness, but if used incorrectly, they can be a blade that eats away at your body and kills you. Any of the universe, including thoughts and emotions, may be such a thing by any means. I made up my mind to reach out my hand to the poisonous flower.]

     After Numeron Code was activated, Astral World faced a new threat as it continued its integration with Barian World. Tsukumo Yuma and other brave duelists from Human World rushed in as reinforcements, but the situation was not good and they were struggling. At this time, Eliphas realized limitations of his power, which was rooted in the innocent rank-up that excluded Chaos. Believing that embracing Chaos was the key to overcoming the situation, he headed to the old Barian World. Led by a conspicuously powerful hint of Chaos, he found an old castle.
     There was a decrepit castle rising in a corner of the Red World. Inside the castle, besides the distorted spherical object wearing an evil aura and the stairs leading to the throne, various sizes of Bariarites protruded irregularly from the floor. This place looked too simple to call a castle. The light was lost from a sphere with numerous dark gray tentacles and multiple vacuum tubes on the surface, and the staircase between the huge, sharp red rocks shaped like animal fangs was cracked in places. The colorful stained-glass windows surrounding this room are cracked wide open and looked like they could shatter at any moment. The king of Order couldn’t believe his eyes as he saw someone looking down at him with a delighted expression from the gray throne in a space where no one would ever enter again. There was the evil one who had a black body embodying darkness, long pale golden hair that reflected moonlight, crimson bangs reminiscent of unfulfilled souls, and two different-colored eyes having the same colors as skies over the Clean World and the Defiled World: the master of Chaos, Don Thousand. When he caught sight of the unusual visitor, he grinned and gave a small throaty laugh. "I didn't expect to see you here. What an interesting thing to see." The Red World ruler rested his cheek on his hand and sways his crossed legs, casting a glance at the Blue World ruler. He just waited for his opponent to say something, with a thin smile on his face. [Is it really that comical to see his polar opposite getting confused?] Feeling somewhat uncomfortable, Eliphas wrinkled his brow and asked, ''wasn't Don Thousand defeated by Yuma and the others to vanish?''
     [It makes sense given the existence of such powerful Chaos. But I am surprised to see him again in Astral World rewritten by Numeron Code. Certainly, Astral World has taken a turn toward accepting Chaos. Having said that, it is very dangerous for us to allow Don Thousand, the avatar of Chaos, to exist any longer; his ideas are so evil that his very existence will bring disaster to Astral World and Human World. And yet have Astral and Yuma allowed the evil one to survive as a source providing Chaos? What a long shot!]
     Knowing or not knowing the anxiety I had in my heart, he relaxed his expression and he replied in a voice sounding like he was quieting down a lost child. "You needn't worry. As you know, my body was lost in that battle. The me in front of you is a false soul, or so to speak, a ‘restligeist’, which consists of a regret of mine and the Chaos that pervades this land."
     Don Thousand squinted at Eliphas. The king of Order asked, unable to see the true intentions of the evil spirit. "A regret?" "Don't be so alarmed. I will never harm you anymore." Don Thousand leisurely raised his arm and lightly stroked his hand in the air. From his fingers’ tracks, a blurred light formed a thin film, which soon became a horizontal rectangle. When he touched it, it descended swiftly into the hands of the will of Astral World. What was projected there was the very threat who was currently attacking the Astral World. The Red World ruler's eyes became stern and he lowered his voice. "Someone other than me is plotting to destroy the Astral World. This is the only thing that I can't stand." The avatar of Chaos blinked slowly and sighed. He snapped the fingers of his right hand and the screen quickly disappeared from the king of Order's hand.
     ''It's a pretty silly reason." The will of the Astral World chuckled at the twisted possessiveness held by the one who had once tried to harm the blue World. The master of Chaos puffed up his cheeks like a young child whose selfishness was dismissed, probably because what the incarnation of light said offended him. ''I don't care what you say. Anyway, it's not good for me if you're going to fight a hard battle with him. Therefore, I was thinking of entrusting my power to you. In that sense, don't you and I have the same interests in mind?"
     Eliphas rolled his eyes as his opponent saw through his thoughts.
     [It seems like Don Thousand certainly has foresight. His smile making fun of others is annoying, though. No wonder he has driven the Astral World and the Human World to the brink of ruin with his clever trickery before.]
     While I was impressed at his intelligence, he looked coldly at me. "A noble spirit like you would not come to my palace without a purpose. It is easy to imagine that you’ve come here to seek the power of Chaos. But, as you know, once you become addicted to Chaos, you can become just like an unreasoning beast, willing to harm those around you for your own desires. Moreover, you’ve never had Chaos in your body at all. Aren't you afraid to let Chaos consume you?" In a complete change from earlier, the evil one's face lose its scornful smile. I almost turned away from his serious look, but I stared back at him. "Honestly, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't terrified. If I am consumed by Chaos and run amok, I will cause inhabitants of my World to suffer as much as I did when I was expelling Chaos. Even with my strength, it is unknown whether I will be able to tame such a powerful Chaos. However, I will not be able to truly achieve rank-up if I keep rejecting Chaos, because the ideal form of rank-up comes from a fusion of Chaos and Order."
     He raised the corners of his mouth slightly as I clenched my fist and told him my determination. ''Good grief. You've come a long way before you understood the self-evident truth."
     Don Thousand mocked the folly of the noble spirit, still resenting the fact that he had been banished from paradise by the incarnation of light in front of him several thousand years before. Whereas, he seemed smiling, feeling that he was finally allowed to be himself. He continued with a satisfied look. “Well, good. Cosmo and Chaos are two sides of the same coin. I believe you can rule over this Chaos now.” The Red World ruler got off his throne and walked over to the Blue World ruler. He asked the Blue World ruler to extend the right hand so that the palm pointed upward. Then held his right hand over it. Then grains of red light gathered between their hands and materialized as a few cards. "Be sure not to become a ‘beast’." "Don't worry about it. I will definitely control this Chaos and bring peace to this world." The king of Order left the castle, taking the card he had been entrusted with.
     Inside the castle, where a stillness hung over again, the avatar of Chaos sat down on the bottom step of the stairs leading to the throne and slumbered in the comfortable silence.
     [How irony it is to leave my future to the one who I hated so much! It's not as bad as I thought, though. Now I can understand why Mizar gave the Numeron Dragon to Tsukumo Yuma back then. This is what, I think, humans call "hope": to trust someone and leave your destiny in his hands. ......, I wonder how well Eliphas will live up to my expectations.]
