Satan and Chaos

This idea may seem silly to some due to the fact that it does not really play a huge role in the story of Paradise Lost as a whole, but it intrigues me either way. In Book II, after Satan has already left Hell and is on his way to Earth, he runs into Chaos, who is essentially the King of the Abyss. This is all well and good, but I do not understand why Chaos does not want to do more to assist Satan in his mission. As the ruler of all things, well chaotic, you would think that he would be willing to do whatever he was able to in order to make sure that Satan does indeed turn God's new creation in to a place full of sin and mass confusion. The only true assistance that Chaos offers Satan is that he is able to tell Satan that he does not have far to travel until he will reach Earth. Other than an estimation of distance, Chaos does little for Satan.

"If that way be your walk, you have not far;
So much the nearer danger; go and speed;
Havoc and spoil and ruin are my gain." (Book II. 1007-1009)

Obviously, Chaos will benefit from any havoc brought about by Satan, so why does he not follow Satan's lead? If you have an explanation for this little irksome bit of the story, I would truly love to hear it.
