Will of chaos-Chapter 1630: Cap 1628: Fafinir

The Temple we went to was a horrible place, the whole place was dry, it was a dry spot in the middle of a forest with ruins all around.

There are clearly dry ditches where a river should have flowed, plus several places that seem to have been lakes that are now dry as well as many pools that have also dried up, dry water sources and much more everything in this place seems to have gone through a hard blow from the climate that never recovered.

"(The Elemental energy of Water is out of control, the sacred power in the surroundings is also almost non-existent.)" (me)

"(I don’t feel any traces of Divine Power, for a temple to be this barren is disconcerting, possibly the God of this place died...)" (me)

"(Don’t think too much about this universe, it’s already on its last legs.)" (Tarzor)

"(Is it that bad?)" (me)

"(Yes, I honestly don’t know how it hasn’t broken yet, the universal membrane on the outside seems strong apart from the cracked parts, but on the inside it looks like glass, the Anomalous Dragons must be doing something.)" (Tarzor)

"(What happens to the living creatures, planets and everything else when the universe breaks?)" (me)

"(Everything that falls into the void will be decimated leaving only energy, the bodies of those who enter the void will be directly erased, their Vitality will be swept away by the energy blasts until only the Soul remains, which will have to rely on luck to avoid being destroyed by Creatures from the Abyss.)" (Tarzor)

"..." (me)

"The main Temple is up ahead." (Gael)

------------------

5 hours later.

Gael was looking at me calmly, but I must admit that I expected a more violent reaction.

I only told him the essentials, I talked about the Anomalous Dragons, I explained what Gods are and their differences with their God Kings, I talked about the state of his universe and also about the concept of the multiverse.

He accepted everything very well, but he came up with many questions, half of which I refused to answer, so after many questions he stopped, I didn’t say anything and left him with his thoughts.

I leave him behind and go find Niryna since the Infernal back that dries her keeps casting eyes at me.

I cross the hall where a large statue of a thin man with rounded horns on his head stands, this is not like the Divine statues in my world, there are no such things here, there are no physical idols for divine worship.

I pass the statue to a place that was clearly supposed to have been a garden in the middle of a lake, but crossing a broken bridge I reach Niryna who is sleeping on a broken bench.

"What did you do to him? I’ve never seen anyone become so instantly interested in you." (me)

"When they look at me, they all know what I am, there is nothing like me in existence, I am unique." (Callidora)

"But when Hell or any other similar name touches their minds, it is disregarded due to the impossibility of the fact in their minds, but with the name I am using now..." (Callidora)

"I didn’t think your influence would extend to people’s subconscious." (me)

"But that’s not why you called me here, what do you want?" (me)

"I want you to do something for me." (Callidora)

"Something you want to keep hidden from Niryna?" (me)

"Yes, she doesn’t need to think about that for now, she was tired, the strangeness of this universe bothered her mind a lot, she really needs some adaptability training." (Callidora)

"So what is it about?" (me)

"I want..." (Callidora)

----------------

It was already night when I finished talking to Callidora, what she asked was something that had crossed my mind before and I dismissed, but she presented very valid points for such plans.

I spent more time talking to Callidora than the time I spent with Gael, that was the level of things being discussed.

As soon as I entered the Temple once again, I went straight to where he was waiting, next to him there were several pieces of roast meat still warm, I sat down and started eating while I took out some bottles of wine.

I didn’t need words, the wine was enough for him to understand, he took a bottle for himself, downing it all at once while I took some pieces of meat.

"What can you tell me about the Anomalous Dragons?" (me)

"I don’t know much, no one does... they just showed up one day and started attacking and it’s been like that ever since, getting worse every year." (Gael)

"Many God Kings have fallen, including the former owner of this place." (Gael)

"You know more than you think, for example, do you know anything about their numbers? Maybe something about their base or the area they gather?" (me)

"There are dozens of them, but there is one among them who seems to be the leader, he always has many around him as if they were being born from him." (Gael)

"A place?" (me)

"I don’t know about his base, but I know someone who does." (Gael)

"A God King like you?" (me)

"No, actually I don’t know what he is, only that the Dragon Eaters don’t attack him." (Gael)

"What’s his name?" (me)

"Fafinir, I haven’t seen him personally, but one of my Knights did, he walked through the battlefield as if it were nothing and didn’t attack either side." (Gael)

"Where can we find him?" (me)

"He’s being watched by our side, but it seems the enemy is unaware of his presence." (Gael)

"(Stay away from that bastard, he won’t help, in fact your presence here might even get in the way, you shouldn’t be seen by him.)" (Tarzor)

"..." (me)

"(He’s a Soul Collector, I don’t know what he does with the Souls he collects, but he mostly likes Gods.)" (Tarzor)

"(He must be taking advantage of the Anomalous Dragons to collect the Souls of this universe.)" (Tarzor)

"We can go as soon as we are..." (Gael)

"No, forget about him, I think I have a better way to find out his whereabouts." (me)

"Give me a few hours." (me)

"(I’m sure she has a way to find out what I need, the question is whether the price I thought of will be enough...)" (me)

----------------

2 hours later.

I was frustrated, but there was nothing to be done, negotiating with the Devil is always a loss.

"Are you ready?" (Gael)

"Yes, but why do you seem anxious?" (me)

"Fafinir disappeared a few minutes ago and the enemies retreated from a battle, all at the same time, but they didn’t leave." (Gael)

"(It must have been Callidora, they noticed her probing.)" (me)

"It doesn’t matter, in fact it even helps us, we’ll catch them all in the same place." (me)

"Come on, I have to introduce you to my companions." (me)

---------------------

I introduced my companions to Gael as we left the Planet’s orbit, but Gael was suspicious, it seems he doesn’t like any Dragon, especially those like Hades and Magnus who are clearly Dragons in appearance.

I explained to them what I had discovered from Callidora, the Anomalous Dragons usually create a nest when they invade a universe, a nest made with the power of the reality of 10 or more Anomalous Dragons, a fortress where they can rest, eat or refine all of their universal plunder.

The reason they need these nests is because of the Anomalous Creatures and Creatures of the Abyss, they know they can be targeted by external forces during their attacks against various universes, they are not the only predators that exist as much as they like to say such phrases.

Callidora just opened her eyes in that direction and knew exactly where their nest was, but that didn’t go unnoticed either, I felt it and so did they, fortunately that drove away an unknown nuisance.

While I was lost in thought and hiding in space, I saw the reason for the Anomalous Dragons patrolling this place, as soon as I left the planet I saw a crack bigger than any planet, there was a colossal one coming out of that crack, there were chains containing the power of reality binding that arm to 3 planets, one of which was the planet where we were, but precisely the other side of the planet.

That arm was shaking as it tried to free itself, it was also constantly changing, its claws became longer and more affiliated sometimes or changed to thick fingers, its arm became thin and sometimes became full of muscles, its skin was sometimes replaced by scales, feathers or bones, even tentacles and mouths full of teeth were emerging from that arm in several attempts to free itself.

"A Creature of the Abyss..." (me)

"(No, a General of the Abyss, much worse.)" (Tarzor)

It was clear that the Anomalous Dragons were taking precautions against this wretch, he was temporarily trapped, but he wouldn’t be trapped forever, the Creatures of the Abyss adapt, he’ll break free sooner or later.

"(We have to get out of here before he breaks free.)" (me)

"(No need to worry, he can’t cross my universal membrane, even if we can’t fight, we can run away from him.)" (Tarzor)

"(At least one good news.)" (me)

With that I follow the path that Callidora pointed out.

-------------------

Pov Fafinir (???):

I ran away as soon as I felt his presence, but I didn’t expect his interference, this is atypical.

"She felt my presence? She knows? But how?" (me)

"I have to finish, I can’t let them interfere, I still need a core capable of containing their power and a lot of reality power..." (me)

"The Ascendants won’t mind if I take a few dozen of their discarded Universes, I don’t need the other energies, just their base reality power will be enough." (me)

I feel the pulse inside me, stream of consciousness getting weaker and weaker.

"Just a little longer, my love... just wait a little longer..." (me)

"FAFINIR!!!!"

"Damn, I was careless to leave so quickly, he felt my power." (me)

"< Phantom Flow: Birth Movement >" (me)

My consciousness pulses feeling trillions of births, I feel the one too weak to survive birth and grab his Soul being pulled to his universe.

My body falls apart as I absorb the Souls of the child and the mother as I rebuild my body. I open my eyes in an alley in the middle of a big city. I can feel tens of billions of life forms on this continent.

Looking down, I see only the bones of the mother and the child who has not even been born. Using my Aura to collect their bones, I begin to walk.

"I hope the food here is good..." (me)
