Chaos Energy
The primeval entity that failed to become a star and was purified by Sailor Moon's Silver Moon Crystal Power.
Chaos is a primeval entity that has existed since the beginning of the universe and the overarching antagonist of the Sailor Moon series. It appears as an enormous mass of black fourth-dimensional space. Chaos was a being who failed to become a star, and in the manga canon, Sailor Moon purifies it with the Silver Moon Crystal Power, implying Chaos is destroyed or transformed, not merely sealed. Destroying Chaos would not necessarily destroy the Cauldron.

Lore & Background
During the course of the series, Chaos sends out agents in the form of Sailor Moon's major enemies: Queen Metaria (a servant of Chaos, not a direct incarnation), Wiseman (a separate entity serving Chaos), and Master Pharaoh 90 (a daimon from the Tau Nebula). Queen Nehelenia is a separate entity influenced by Chaos, not a direct incarnation. Chaos eventually uses Sailor Galaxia to steal Sailor Crystals to attract Sailor Moon to the Cauldron. In the end, with the help of all the Guardians, Sailor Moon purifies Chaos with the Silver Moon Crystal Power, and everyone who was killed is sent back, each to their planet and time of origin, reincarnated after the battle. The manga ending suggests Chaos was overcome and Sailor Cosmos's future of Sailor Chaos is averted or changed.
Reader's Guide
In the Eien Densetsu musical, Chaos appears as Kyaosu, another male servant of Galaxia. He functions as comic relief and is apparently very weak. He disguises himself as the director of a school play that the younger Guardians are starring in and also poses as the Three Lights' manager. Later on in the musical, he makes a deal to assist Sailor Moon, taking her and the Starlights to the Galaxy Cauldron and promising to save a Sailor Guardian from death (he saves Sailor Mercury). However, after Galaxia's defeat, Kyaosu reveals himself to be Chaos. With his power sealed inside Galaxia, he was forced to inhabit a weak physical shell but after Moon purged his energy from Galaxia, he regains his full strength and once more threatens to destroy the galaxy. He is defeated when all the Guardians, including a revived Galaxia, combine their powers.
