Ron enters a protective energy bubble created by his mother, Nari, who shields him from a chaotic storm. Outside, five powerful Abyssal scouts, Flesh Demons and Dream Spiders, investigate the anomaly. The Nightmare Queen orders them to observe and collect samples. The storm's chaotic energy surges, engulfing the scouts and rewriting reality around them. Nari, revealing her terrifying Apostle form, confronts the scouts, promising to teach their master a lesson in courtesy, and unleashes a new level of chaos that begins disintegrating them. The storm's range expands to target two hidden Apostles.

A monstrous form, towering over one hundred meters, became visible.

Its entire being was sheathed in heavy bone armor, each segment bearing countless scars from prior conflicts.

Most striking was its head, bearing the likeness of a ferocious wolf, yet with a muzzle disproportionately larger than any natural wolf's.

Within this maw lay three rows of jagged, sharp teeth, each a dagger-like weapon constantly dripping with a venomous, greenish saliva.

Muscles like tempered steel comprised its immensely powerful arms, also crisscrossed with the marks of fierce battles.

These ancient wounds were a testament to its pride, each battle scar a commemoration of glorious victories against formidable adversaries.

"Intriguing..." Mogron observed with detached interest as his own subordinates were annihilated in mere moments.

Far from displaying anger, a grin of excitement spread across his face, revealing glistening teeth in the gloom.

"It seems that lunatic Nari has acquired some new plaything."

He rotated his neck, the grating sound of bone against bone echoing like rolling thunder.

Each subtle movement caused the very fabric of the surrounding space to ripple, a clear indication of his awe-inspiring might.

Meanwhile, within a different, concealed dimension, the 'Nightmare Queen' Selena experienced a markedly contrasting reaction.

As one of the most enigmatic Apostles, she perpetually remained shrouded in an obscuring, ethereal mist, concealing her true appearance from all observers.

They could only perceive a vague, tall feminine silhouette, and perhaps, as moments passed, a glimpse of a beautiful face within the swirling haze.

However, any attempt to gaze upon her intently would result in their memories becoming distorted and indistinct.

It felt as if they had emerged from a deeply profound dream, retaining only fragmented images upon their eventual return to wakefulness.

"The sheer purity of this Aura of Chaos..."

Selena's voice, usually dreamy and captivating with an otherworldly charm, was now tinged with bewilderment.

"What has befallen Nari? Her spiritual state is more stable than ever before... this level of lucidity..."

As an Apostle whose domain encompassed consciousness and the Dream Realm, she possessed the unique ability to detect the profound transformation occurring within Nari’s very spiritual structure.

Nari’s formerly chaotic and disordered thought processes had been replaced by a state of perfect clarity and organization.

It was as though she had finally awoken from an immense, enduring period of derangement.

"This metamorphosis was not a natural occurrence..."

A dangerous glint flickered in Selena's eyes, her misty form solidifying somewhat.

"An external power has interfered within Nari’s Spiritual World, successfully restoring her sanity... But what manner of force could achieve such a feat?"

While both Apostles remained absorbed in their respective contemplations, the expansion rate of the Chaos Storm abruptly intensified.

The previously established safe distance of several kilometers was rapidly consumed by the encroaching edge of the Chaos.

The very borders of reality seemed to surge outward like a relentless tide, distorting the space itself as it advanced.

"Blast it!" Mogron bellowed, erupting from the spatial anomaly in his colossal form, a torrent of berserk blood energy exploding outwards.

"Is that lunatic attempting to instigate a full-scale war?"

His furious roar reverberated through the atmosphere akin to thunder, causing the immediate vicinity to tremble faintly.

His bone armor began to emit a harsh, metallic scraping, reminiscent of an ancient instrument of war stirring back to life.

Selena, too, was compelled to materialize, her silhouette within the mist becoming noticeably more defined.

She possessed an astonishing beauty, though it carried an ethereal, unreal quality, like a dream rendered with impossible perfection suddenly manifesting in the physical world.

"Nari!" Mogron roared, his voice laced with irritation, directed towards the storm's epicenter.

"What is the meaning of this? I am merely here to observe the spectacle!"

However, the response emanating from the Chaos Storm delivered a surprise to both observing Apostles.

Nari’s voice was no longer the fragmented, deranged babbling of the past, but a clear, logically structured threat.

"Merely passing by?" Her voice echoed, laced with undeniable irony.

"Then explain the presence of your subordinates, conducting such an in-depth reconnaissance?"

The potent force of Chaos began to coalesce, manifesting as visible distortions shimmering in the air.

The surrounding ocean waters were drawn to churn unnaturally, forming a colossal vortex with Nari's immense form at its core.

"I am attending to certain... personal matters. Your intrusive presence is exceedingly unwelcome."

Nari had initially considered stating it was a vital family gathering.

However, her fully restored rational mind cautioned her against revealing any details about Ron to anyone.

After all, he was merely a fledgling wizard at the Morning Star Level, requiring careful protection.

With this realization firmly in mind, Nari's tone shifted abruptly, becoming lethally dangerous, countless tentacles thrashing wildly within the turbulent seawater.

"This prying is an insult to my person. In that case, allow me to instruct you on the proper codes of conduct."

Upon hearing this declaration, Mogron and Selena exchanged a look, their eyes reflecting mutual confusion and apprehension.

Nari's regained lucidity far surpassed their initial estimations.

This state of awakened, natural Chaos was demonstrably several times more formidable than when she was in her maddened periods.

"Nari, I believe there may have been a slight misunderstanding..."Selena sought a peaceful resolution, her ethereal body starting to fracture into numerous duplicates: "We genuinely had no knowledge of your research. If our actions were perceived as offensive..." "A misunderstanding?" Nari's fury intensified, the Chaos Storm manifesting in an exceptionally terrifying manner: "I believe there’s no room for misunderstanding. As we are both Apostles of the Abyss, let us settle this through our respective strengths!" Her impassioned declaration caused the entirety of the Abyss Fourth Layer to tremble under the might of this power.
