Will of chaos-Chapter 1625: Cap 1623: Who Are You...? Part 1
Pov ??? (???):
I was wandering through the desert looking for something to drink when he appeared, once again these things fly towards me as soon as my presence is noticed.
I look at my sword, the edge of the blade is all chipped, the body of the sword covered in cracks that destroyed the magic circles inside it, even passing my Aura through the sword has become difficult since last month.
"I need a weapon soon..." (me)
While I was thinking about how to get a new weapon in the middle of nowhere, the creature reached me, its body was the size of a mountain, it has dozens of arms with blades instead of hands, each piece a different type of blade, if it weren’t for those arms it would only shave a giant.
"I have to finish this quickly." (me)
The blades came from all directions and measured kilometers each, even though they were so large they moved with delicacy and coordination closing almost all escape routes.
But I remain calm, with each step and jump I follow a random path to avoid being noticed, I do not try to stop any of the attacks so as not to destroy my sword, meanwhile my Aura channels into a single point on my fist.
I move my head to the side as I run over a blade, thus dodging a scythe-like blade, then I do a spinning jump in the air to dodge a wavy blade.
I continue dodging the blades until I reach the head, that’s when it opens like a flower whose flesh petals are full of teeth.
"< Fall of the Heavenly Sword >" (me)
I gather my Sacred Power in my hand letting it flow along with my Aura around the Sword some of the cracks expand as I wave the blade downwards, the space above trembles as a large sword falls through the bottomless hole that is this open-mouthed grass.
Immediately, silver veins appear, spreading throughout his body while explosions of sword blades emerge from within his body.
He was torn to pieces without leaving anything behind. Unfortunately, this wretch’s body cannot be consumed and has nothing close to blood. His bodies disperse shortly after his death.
"I have to go." (Me)
With one leap, I cross kilometers before starting to run. I ran and ran until the sun disappeared from the sky. When night finally fell, I had already crossed hundreds of kilometers. If nothing followed my trail, then I must be far enough away at least.
I look around. This time, I am in the middle of a city, or maybe I should say what is left of a city. The buildings are in ruins and bones are everywhere.
I spread my Aura and did not notice any presence. I also do not think I will find food around here, and there does not seem to be any water around here, but I found something that I have been looking for a long time.
My Aura reacted and the symbol in my hand heated up, so there was no mistake, I ran in that direction, arriving in seconds.
"A portal, finally a functional portal..." (me)
Sigh
"It’s been 36 years, I was thinking the only way would be to get out of here the old-fashioned way." (me)
I look up, every now and then I see the explosions happening in the distance shaking the very stars, I see the cracks and crevices in space as well as the creatures trying to crawl out of the crevices.
"They’re still watching, I’m sure of it, they come by very often to deal with these creatures, it seems they know when a strong one emerges or when a large number spill out." (me)
"Now, let me see how I activate this thing..." (me)
I go to the Temple, I feel the remaining Sacred power, a comfort that reminds me of the ancient God of Nature, he was the first to die back then, a God loved by all, but trying to talk to Dragons seeking peace was more than foolish.
Arriving at the portal I see the entire rectangular arch, the Runes seem in good condition, but there is no energy core, which fortunately is not a problem.
"I have to be quick, they might notice my presence this way." (me)
I place my hand on the arch of the portal, I first pour my Aura to familiarize myself with the energy paths, then I touch the Divinity within me for the first time in a long time, letting the power flow through the paths of the portal.
It didn’t take long for the Runes to light up, images of the destination points were appearing in my mind, I choose the only one that remained, fortunately there is still at least one other intact.
The portal lights up, blinking at first, before a vortex of golden, blue, and white energy appears. Without wasting time, I throw myself inside, already feeling a presence attach itself to me.
Passing through the portal, I feel the fluctuations of the battle and how fragile the universe is. My fist clenches in frustration as the Divine power is quickly being consumed.
When I pass to the other side, I find myself in ruins of what was once a temple, but now it is taken over by the forest. It is an incredible sight for someone who has spent years seeing only the desolation of a barren desert.
"Fresh air, it’s been a long time since I’ve breathed such clean air..." (me)

Where am I?
Th𝗲 most uptodate novels are published on ƒгeewёbnovel.com.
It was all dark, I can’t see anything.
Who am I?
Where am I?
Why am I here?
That’s when I realized I was walking suddenly and the darkness disappeared, what was revealed was a palace with a beautiful woman kneeling in front of me adjusting my tie, she was at my height with eyes full of love and beautiful brown hair falling like a waterfall.
"Today will be a very special day, your Father is very proud of you becoming the heir to the throne dear." (Mom)
"I’m nervous... I don’t know what to say in the speech... what if no one likes me... what if my speech is bad... Dad always says that first impressions matter..." (me)
His hand caressing my face, a soft and warm touch, his sincere and calming smile, his captivating voice and sincere intentions, always knowing what to say.
"Don’t prepare speeches, it won’t be sincere, speak with conviction what you want and hope for the empire, speak from your heart and no matter how it sounds to others, the true emotion and your determination will be transmitted." (Mom)
"Thank you Mom." (me)
I hugged her, I remember that, it was such an important day, I was so nervous that my hands were shaking, I don’t even remember what I said in that speech, but I remember that moment with my mother.
-------------------
Suddenly everything goes dark again, I hear and feel my own footsteps walking forward as the world lights up once more.
"How does the throne feel?" (Father)
"Uncomfortable, sitting here all day is horrible." (me)
"Hahaha... now you can’t laugh at my back pain anymore... hahahaha..." (Father)
"But don’t dodge the question, I want to know how it feels to receive the crown, the ceremony may have been yesterday, but I know very well that it takes time to accept reality and understand what you have in your hands." (Father)
"..." (me)
"I don’t know what to do... I had so many plans, so many ideas, so many things I thought about doing..." (me)
"From the outside it all seemed so possible, I talked to you so many times about these things... but now..." (me)
"Now I find myself thinking about the consequences of such things, the cost of each project, the time to implement it, the people’s reaction to each project, the allocation of people, the interference of the nobles... everything I thought before seems so superficial now..." (me)
"A King carries on his head not a crown but responsibility, now you understand the difference between an unrealistic ideal and a planned action." (Father)
"It took me a while to understand this back then, but you don’t have to abandon your ideals, just think about how to implement them in a way that will be beneficial to the greatest number of people, not just to you." (Father)
"Now it’s your turn, not everyone will support you, not everyone will understand you, there will be those plotting against you, there will be those going directly against you and unforeseen events will inevitably happen." (Father)
"The most important thing is that at some point people will die, life is too fragile and things like diseases, natural disasters, accidents, murders, crimes, wars and countless other things can lead to people’s deaths." (Father)
"As King, you carry all the power of the Kingdom as well as the blame when something happens, the responsibility for where the Empire will go in the future and the lives of every person who agreed to live in the lands you rule." (Father)
"..." (me)
The weight of that crown was really too much for someone so young, I was proud and full of plans until the end of the coronation ceremony, but when I was left alone in my room that night, it was as if reality hit me like a mountain, everyone’s expectations becoming chains around me, the responsibility of the entire Empire weighing like a mountain on my back, I wasn’t able to sleep all night with everything that could go wrong going through my head.
"Son, you became the commander of an army while hiding your identity as a Prince. You have led people through moments of life and death. You have experienced losing those under you." (Father)
"You are my pride and joy. Your mother and I know that you will be a great God King one day." (Father)
God Kings, those blessed by the Gods as leaders, warriors, and wise enough to guide the people to a prosperous future.
The Founder of the Empire was one of these, but he has long since passed away. God Kings are supposed to be immortal, but they all disappear one day, leaving the throne vacant. My father was one of many Kings who came after him. Yet no other God King has emerged in our Empire.
"(I was so naive... I didn’t know what was coming when the Dragons arrived...)" (me)

Once again the darkness swallows everything, but this time I saw where I was stepping, it was a crystal path where the stars shone like in the night sky.
