Will of chaos-Chapter 1646: Cap 1644: Selfishness

Pov Davoth:

I was on the ground, as God should not need to breathe, yet I can’t stop panting as if my lungs were not able to get enough air to sustain my life, weakness took over my entire body while keeping my eyes open became an effort of pure determination.

My arms on the other hand, I will have to get new ones, they were vaporized by the sealing ritual, I was in this state for hours, yet I improved very little, the Universal Golem I carry does not nourish me as perfectly as a natural universe would do to its Primordial God.

"(That should be enough power by now...)" (me)

"< Death Magic: Signaling >" (me)

During all this time, I accumulated energy as I was recovering, all to traffic this simple magic, using my tongue to draw in the air and blood like ink floating inches from my face, a magic circle appears, the most basic of death magics used by their Priests to signal places where death normally does not reach.

As soon as I used this magic a black flame lit up and beneath it an illusory candle slowly became real as a figure rose from the small candle flame as if it were smoke.

Black cloak fluttering in non-existent winds, a crystal skull whose eyes shine in infinite depths, a scythe stained with the last tears of each Soul taken.

One of the many representations of her, but to me it seems more like a ridiculous costume that she uses when she wants to make a strong impression since it represents her concept well in such exaggeration.

"You’ve done your part, now I’m going to take you back." (Kalistos)

"..." (me)

"Let’s go..." (Kalistos)

She retrieved the 10-sided crystal containing what I was able to Seal, Prague wouldn’t thank me for it, but it didn’t help either, it just allowed my presence inside it as well as leaving it up to me whether I’m able to escape or not.

Damn bastard, if it weren’t for a deal with Kalistos, I could have let this thing end Prague, it would be a good thing for countless universes for sure.

Kalistos uses his scythe to cut through space leaving a trail of black flames that burn the space until it forms a whirlwind of pure darkness.

My body rises floating next to her as we pass through the portal, but I can feel the forces of several realities passing through me before I come out on the other side alone with my body floating to the ground in front of a Temple of Blood.

"You look horrible." (Elizabeth)

"..." (me)

"I’m not as good at healing as Natasha, but I can take care of you, come on." (Elizabeth)

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

When I woke up again I was in a bed, my arms had grown back, but they weren’t right, one of the arms was still a few inches shorter than the other and both arms were very thin.

My energy had partially returned, I was still weak, but it wasn’t something that would get in the way of my daily life, I could talk, walk and even run if necessary, but fighting was a big no in my current state.

Looking around I could feel that I was in a Sacred Land, the power of this place was pushing away the influence of the universe from pressing against me, which is wonderful since I’m in no condition to resist it at the moment.

"I thought you didn’t want to see me." (me)

"I’m not a child, I don’t hold a grudge against you." (Elizabeth)

"But I wouldn’t blame you if you did." (me)

"The past is just that, the past... I’m not the same as I was back then, just like you’re not the same." (Elizabeth)

"Thank you for healing me." (me)

"I did my best, but the two types of Anomalous Power inside you didn’t make it easy, Natasha could do a better job, unfortunately she’s busy." (Elizabeth)

"Without Akatosh and most of the Divine-level Dragons, she’s become the most powerful Dragon, so she’s dealing with these problems that are brought to her by the Dragons." (Elizabeth)

"You don’t want to talk about me being here or what I talked about with Zenos?" (me)

"No, I don’t want to know and I’d rather you didn’t tell me anything." (Elizabeth)

"Zenos can take care of his own things, we have too much to deal with for me to think about the past right now, the same goes for you." (Elizabeth)

"..." (me)

"What happened while I was away?" (me)

"Same as always, enemies hiding in the dark." (Elizabeth)

"Gods who once fought alongside Baldr, the traitor who joined the Ascendants, are now converting people into other things." (Elizabeth)

"Baldr did something similar in the past, but he used the interaction of his Divinity with a God who shared the same origins, they were two different conversion processes, but this is different." (Elizabeth)

"The conversion process this time is simpler, faster, and the increase in power is very apparent." (Elizabeth)

"I need to see to be sure, but it could be the..." (me)

"Ascendants, yes... traces of Ascendant Law Power have been found in them." (Elizabeth)

"As soon as I get better I will help..." (me)

"No, you cannot reveal yourself to the eyes of the Ascendants, not until Zenos returns." (Elizabeth)

"I heard your plan from my Mother, don’t ruin everything now, help while you hide and let us take care of our universe." (Elizabeth)

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

Pov Zenos:

I was on the balcony of the original Star Palace, I was inside Tarzor where I could see the changes inside and I felt the changes in myself.

"Why did you come to talk to me?" (me)

"This plan is horrible." (Samara)

"Since when does your opinion matter?" (me)

"You’re going to die like this..." (Samara)

"Do you think I don’t know the risks?" (me)

"I’m already prepared, all the risks calculated, including my possible death." (me)

"You can’t die!!" (Samara)

"Ohh... is that despair I hear? Coming from someone who has committed atrocities for who knows how long?" (me)

"You’re right, I did atrocities, worse things than you can imagine, as a Saint of Life I not only betrayed her, I led an entire universe to death and many other things after falling into the clutches of Hell!" (Samara)

"I don’t regret anything I did, I’m selfish, cruel and I’m probably as twisted in my mind as the Anomalous Dragons or the Ascendants, maybe even more so!" (Samara)

"It’s exactly because of this selfishness that I don’t want you to die!" (Samara)

"If you die, I’ll die too because of your restrictions and even if because of someone’s intervention, I managed to survive, my fate would be worse than death!" (Samara)

"Even if Callidora doesn’t take me under her wings again, which would already be an eternal torment... again, the one called the Goddess of Life or even the Life Entity will get me and at that moment my fate may be even more horrible than anything Callidora does to me!" (Samara)

"By your side, I am the only one who can keep me safe and experience some happiness. I can eat well, I can drink well, I can talk to different types of people without fear of being stabbed in the back, I can sleep, I can lie with someone for pure pleasure, I can fight as much as I want, I can smell the flowers, I can see the stars, I can even be eternal since this body, even if destroyed, will only make my Soul return to you!" (Samara)

"Your hatred and contempt for me may be whatever, but I am literally in heaven here, being your slave is a thousand times better than any other alternative and I will not lose that!!!" (Samara)

"You finally spoke, I already knew you were happy, I can see inside your mind, inside your heart and inside your Soul, even so certain things escape me, you know how to distort your thoughts and manipulate your emotions well, always being as useful as possible, making yourself necessary, trying to appear loyal... all a facade so as not to fall again, isn’t it?" (me)

"Yes, yes and yes!!!" (Samara)

"I am selfish and that is why I beg you, please..." (Samara)

"You are the one who told her, aren’t you Mavis?" (me)

"Yes, I can be separated from the main consciousness, but I still remember everything up until the moment of this birth, which includes remembering this traitor." (Mavis)

Mavis emerges through space as if she were passing through the waters of a calm lake, she appears in front of me in her humanoid form, her face still covered by a veil and without a shadow of Kalisto being nearby.

"Are you satisfied now?" (me)

"No, but it’s a start." (Mavis)

"If you and Kalistos aren’t going to help at all, then avoid getting in the way, save tormenting her for when this is all over." (me)

"You don’t command us Zenos, we stay here because we want to and we will do the right thing when necessary." (Mavis)

"Just don’t interfere anymore, the plan is bad enough without people having doubts." (me)

"The plan will go on as it is and you will accept that, not losing out on killing me and if I am willing to follow this plan, then I have confidence in succeeding." (me)

"(I don’t really have any confidence, but desperate cases call for extreme measures.)" (me)

"(I just need one part of the plan to work, the rest doesn’t matter so much.)" (me)
