| As a force opposed to divine order, Chaos has the unique ability to appoint a Dark Lord by granting its chosen individual the '''Power of Dominance'''. This power allows the Dark Lord to control monsters and influence those humans susceptible to negative emotions, often aligning them with darker intentions. In the year 1476, Dracula gained this dark power through a pact with an Evil God, allowing him to unleash vengeance upon humanity and pursue a campaign to eradicate mankind. | | As a force opposed to divine order, Chaos has the unique ability to appoint a Dark Lord by granting its chosen individual the '''Power of Dominance'''.
