Will of chaos

I woke up the next day still feeling a little weak, but largely well enough not to be a problem in the middle of the day.

“So am I still dreaming or has my Soul been pulled towards you?” (I)

“You are awake in your room, I am using my blessing to manifest this illusion that only you can see.” (Kalistos)

“…” (I)

I turn and see Kalistos sitting on the edge of the bed I just lifted, érica still sleeping on the other side of the bed.

Kalistos had a different appearance, something very close to Hinata’s appearance, with the difference that her body seems completely solid and her face has a calm expression with strong eyes.

“Why did the Goddess of Death come to me if I may ask?” (I)

“Why are you entering a path whose intervention will benefit me, but will also bring endless trouble.” (Kalistos)

“Does it have something to do with Astrid and her people?” (I)

“Yes.” (Kalistos)

“Your enemies to be precise.” (Kalistos)

I remember the images that Astrid showed yesterday during the meeting, they were flesh abominations, something between a flesh Golem and an artificial Kimera.

“You thought correctly, these people are using something close to what one of your enemies has done in the past, but even worse, they are doing something unacceptable.” (Kalistos)

“Can you tell me what exactly they are doing to make a Goddess like you so enraged? I would also like to know which enemy you are talking about, if possible?” (I)

“Me and Mavis have more restrictions than other Gods, I can’t say more than I already have, I can only point out directions but never guide you through it.” (Kalistos)

“(Acting so roundabout with these riddles doesn’t make my life any easier.)” (I)

“I don’t understand, do you want me to stay with the Alliance or leave them to their own devices?” (I)

“What you will do will be your problem alone, I’m just here to find out if you still intend to follow what you’ve already decided even listening to what I’ve already said?” (Kalistos)

“But you didn’t say anything.” (I)

“…” (Kalistos)

“…” (I)

Sigh

What she told me doesn’t change much, Elizabeth still goes after these people and Natasha isn’t going to let go of a big battle, Caitlyn is also someone who likes to do justice in the most gruesome way possible in her own way, I haven’t seen her lately but I can imagine Elizabeth will go to both of them to help him.

“I will continue, with my luck the chance of me encountering this enemy sooner or later is high, my sister also seems interested so I have no reason to avoid this path.” (I)

“Can you at least tell me why you came here?” (I)

“I know that of all Gods, you especially don’t like to act personally, nor do I think you came here just to hear my answers.” (I)

“When the moment comes I need you to catalyze my power.” (Kalistos)

“Why can’t Ivan do this?” (I)

“My Champion can embody my power beyond what you are capable of, but he cannot share that power as you do.” (Kalistos)

“I need power to flow from you to all those connected to you, that’s what it takes to accomplish…” (Kalistos)

—————

1 hour later.

I was near my bedroom window deep in thought when I hear movement behind me, so érica hugs me from behind.

“What happened, her face looks pale.” (érica)

“Nothing, I’m just a little weak from the things I did yesterday, let’s go downstairs to eat something, it seems that day I also have a lot of things to do.” (I)

————–

In the middle of the afternoon, I was leaving the last meeting with Astrid and Elizabeth, and to my surprise, she accepted all my conditions very well, I didn’t give much room for refusals or concessions on my side, but I didn’t expect her to accept directly, the rest of the time was just about explanations from both sides about the proposals presented initially.

It was agreed that only one of them would perform the Awakening Ceremony right now not to mention I know this is to ensure my ability to help your people while also proving what other side effects there will be after the body transformation process.

The one going through the Awakening Ceremony will be Miriam, it seems they discussed this before our meeting, I don’t care too much about it as everyone will go through it sooner or later.

After the end of the meeting Miriam and Astrid returned with me to the city under the watchful eye of Zadiris, I took everyone to the Dungeon where I let my Elizabeth take care of the explanations about the city, our culture, and its population.

While my sister took care of our guests I went to see my sons and Hades who I heard had volunteered for battle, it seems that Ragnar went with them and I was left floating outside the city with my eyes closed sharing Ragnar’s vision to see how they were doing.

“(Why didn’t they tell me?)” (I)

“(They are together with Orsel, this is a quest that requires certain skills and not combat power.)” (Ragnar)

“(They need a barrier expert to fix the ritual, they need someone to control the wild energy fluctuations, and they also need Authority to activate the magic item in question.)” (Ragnar)

It seems that they went to a World facing a Wave of Monsters from space, the world in question has a planetary defense system that uses more than 9000 magic items as Towers creating hexagonal barriers around the entire world, but one of these Towers is damaged as they face monsters that managed to invade the world, they are facing battles both at ground level and in the planet’s orbit, their specialists in barriers overloaded in keeping the other Towers working without knowing why one of them was damaged.

“(Don’t fight, I want you to be on standby in case you need to help one of them.)” (I)

“(Alright, master.)” (Ragnar)

As I looked at everyone fighting, only one of them stopped turning towards Ragnar, it was Hades, he noticed my presence somehow, and I waved him back to fight.

Irina wasn’t fighting, she was behind a wall of Golems that look more like giant robots messing with a large metal tower, Orsel was right there working beside her.

Seeing that she is the safest, I turned my sights to Irius, he was 3 times bigger with red skin, in one hand he had a 4 meter double-edged sword, and in his other arm, he had a round metal shield almost as big as he was and with sharp teeth on the edges.

Irius was brutal in his combat against eyeless octopus-like creatures with mouths at the end of each tentacle, his shield crushing while his sword cuts a path of death.

Vanessa on the other hand was flying with hundreds of red crystal swords around her, wherever she went a rain of blood and flesh followed.

Silvia was in her Dragon form standing in the midst of countless enemies, a storm of various elements of nature around her as if it were the end of the world as she alone stood motionless in that apocalypse.

Samira and Elsaris were running around killing those enemies furthest from the large groups helping the army of that world.

Ivy was next to her Familiar, I couldn’t see her since the area where she was fighting was covered by black mist, but using my Aura through Ragnar I realized that she had created a Territory where she was fighting, I didn’t know she could do that.

Magnus was also present in his Dragon form, the way he fought was even more brutal and savage than Irius, he didn’t even look like a rational creature with his body covered in purple blood, he threw himself at the creatures making a path of shattered bodies and using light magic in large groups for complete annihilation.

Lilith was fighting very differently from the others, that’s because the places she passed through were not stained with blood and body parts, the monsters around her screamed in endless pain with their bodies writhing, a red light emitting from her body and a flow of cursed energy writhing like serpents around the monsters while simply falling dry to the ground.

Hades on the other hand was fighting drawing blood from every monster, his every blow was followed by a flow of blood that gathered in a vortex behind him, no matter if the monster was squashed, slashed, or torn apart, the blood seemed to be grabbed by its Aura and drawn into that vortex even if the monster was still alive.

“(Looks like they have it under control, but keep watching, let me know if anything unexpected happens.)” (I)

“(Yes, I’ll take care of everything here, don’t worry…)” (Ragnar) 𝑏𝑒𝑑𝘯𝑜𝘷𝑒𝑙．𝑐𝘰𝘮

When I opened my eyes, I turned to Navar who was in front of me.

“What can I do for you?” (I)

“I want to trade part of your power in exchange for part of my power.” (Navar)

“Like this?” (I)

“I want to create a Dragon Seal using part of your Eclipse Authority, its compatibility with my Star Authority seems intriguing to me.” (Navar)

“I can use this in the future when I find a candidate to take my place when I’m at the end of my life or join the Dragon God.” (Navar)

“So in return will you do the same for me? I think we can talk more about this, sounds interesting…” (I)
