Will of chaos-Chapter 1693: Cap 1691: The Threshold of Paths
My eyes seemed to flicker between the real and the unreal, I felt great pain ravaging my mind and Soul as if I were trying to carry something infinitely past without having such capacity.
Every time I blinked my eyes my vision changed between two realities, one was the space full of stars where I saw Akatosh and Karina looking at me while other Dragons approached from afar.
The other vision was a sea of stars that seemed to float in space as if they were inside an ocean, the stars moved in the east and paths snaked between the stars, I myself was standing on fragments of a path that floated between the stars, I instantly took this vision as false.
As I blinked more and more every few seconds, the two realities became confused and I was no longer sure which one was false. They both felt too real and suddenly the pain around me increased while in the reality of the sea of stars something seemed to appear in front of me, a Dragon whose only the outline of its head was formed of stars that invaded this space while its claws closed around me, squeezing my body, making the whole space tremble in the process.
Then suddenly I realized that I wasn’t blinking and only the sea of stars where the Dragon was squeezing me was where I remained.
"..."
"I know who you are... I helped you before, you’re really going to continue... gggrrrr!" (me)
"(I’ll take care of this.)" (Freya)
Soon hundreds of branches appeared taking the entire shape of the Dragon, making it disperse completely. From the beginning to the end it didn’t stop trying to crush me.
This was the will of this universe, it has no conscience and all that exists is the purpose of protecting the universe, ending strange organisms invading and stopping abnormalities like me, its reaction becomes more and more serious as the abnormalities accumulate.
"Thank you." (me)
"(We’re not done yet, I need to reach them.)" (Freya)
"I’ll keep channeling." (me)
Because of the interference of the will of the universe, I interrupted the flow of power that I was channeling to Freya, soon she returned to using this power to expand her branches throughout the universe, but going in very specific directions that react against the normal energy flow of this universe, other anomalies being rejected.
I could feel Freya’s branches and roots running through the energy flows of this universe, some of them breaking along the way, but little by little they reached their destination, touching all the targets, some of them defended, some of them were pierced, some of them tried to hold the attacks and the one who tried to dodge still couldn’t avoid being touched even if it was just a graze.
In the end, everyone was affected by the Curse, all of them dragged by what defines them, their own uncontrolled arrogance.
"< Divine Summon >" (me)
Each of them was sucked into this space, a threshold between my Divine Realm and this universe that tries to reject my Divinity.
In this place those affected by the Curse are forced to fall into a path, but the Curse is not perfect, those who fall into the path can choose not to walk the path and if they retreat they are thrown out, but this is a concern that does not exist for the Ascendants, their Arrogance permeates their Wills, they would rather die than give up, they commit any act in order to achieve their goals and because of this their arrogant Wills are not able to leave.
While they were within their paths, they are all separated from their Laws trying to do something with this space, but I only smile at their attempts as I call upon those who fought.

Pov Akatosh:
"Did you really give him a part of your Divinity?" (Adella)
"No, a part of my power, my Divinity comes from the Dragons, but even before I was a God, my power was not limited to that." (me)
"Dominance is unfortunately not an Essence that I could develop in our universe, not without causing acts that I find repugnant." (me)
"I missed the presence of the Ascendants who were coming this way." (Arash)
"He must have succeeded, that’s a relief..." (me)

My plans were to finish them off when I got out of here, it would be easy for Zenos to trap them in his Divine Realm inside Tarzor, unfortunately they forced our hands, but we don’t have that much time.
I look at Zenos, his eyes are filled with a starry sky with paths scattered, his hands are torn with flesh as blood flows, his body is also with all its muscles contracted, his clothes are in tatters as the space around him trembles.
Freya is not in a much better condition, even if this is not her real body, it is still part of her and any sanity will have an impact on her, the trunk of that tree trembles as if it were in the middle of an earthquake, its branches are cracking and some even breaking, her ethereal body embracing Zenos is literally being burned by the Power of Reality coursing through it.
"This is rubbish, we could have simply left, it wouldn’t have been difficult and they would have followed us." (Adella)
"No, we have many injured Dragons and we have no idea if there are still more enemies out there." (me)
"..." (me)
I look at my hand, the symbol representing Zenos’ Totem shines, I can also feel his Divine power extending to me, this must be the effect of his indication technique, I’m glad it worked.
"Protect them, be on the lookout for new enemies." (me)
"I’ll take care of them." (Arash)
"Don’t worry, I’ll take care of my Father." (Adella)
"(I hope there aren’t any more of them...)" (me)
With that thought in mind, I feel my body being sucked into the sphere in Zenos’ hands, that’s when I realized that it wasn’t his body anymore, it was just an image of the two of them who were the first to be sucked into that space.
----------------
When I opened my eyes I was in the middle of a path with a Human Ascendant in front of me, he has 4 pairs of wings, but he looks injured.
"I didn’t expect to find you here." (me)
"God Akatosh, you are far from home, your power is reduced in this place, so step aside and I promise not to do anything to you, Zenos and your Dragons."
"In other words, we are not your targets this time and you expect me to believe that?" (me)
"We have our own matters."
"Last warning, do not interfere!"
"As arrogant as ever, but I would love to see what someone so injured can do to me." (me)
"You will regret it..."
The Ascendant in front of me was clearly one of the 3 leaders of the Ascendants, but he was injured, I don’t know how it happened, but there don’t seem to be any others of them around here.
For him to even promise not to attack and especially choose to speak in this manner means that there is something more important in his eyes, something in this universe or that has arrived in this universe.
"(As I thought, he couldn’t force a complete Divine Realm... it became a threshold space, it won’t even last 1 day.)" (me)
-------------------
Pov Tarzor:
I was tired, in the last few days this universe has been a great inconvenience for me and having to put up with the twins doing whatever they want has altered the entire flow of power within me, now I also have to feel part of the power of this technique flowing into me.
After seeing that Zenos and Freya’s condition was not as bad as expected, I turn my attention inward, I could feel the changes in those who woke up with the energy cocoons disappearing.
Sarazar woke up a little smaller than before, but his presence and Aura were new as if this was not the same Sarazar as before, as if his departure was a prelude of what was to come, the other Anomalous Dragons also began to break their energy cocoons one by one, just like Tarzor none of them were still Anomalous Dragons.
"(Your inner universe has changed a lot, I can feel it’s still changing even now...)" (me)
After checking Sarazar, my attention turned to Lolth, then I saw her new appearance, but none of it compares to her Scepter, the blood that once became a blade disappeared, the shape of the Scepter also changed and its head became branches full of crystal leaves forming a circle while in the middle remains what looked like a portal leading to a starry sky where a large star stood in the middle emanating an intense light of life.
"(Your Scepter carries a space of its own, but it feels strange as if it were an overlap of the same thing.)" (me)
The two seem to be trying to get used to their new bodies, so I turn my attention to the twins who seem to be doing something with Luci who was floating between the Twins while her body was surrounded by their powers.
"(If I’m not mistaken, then she’s the reason the Ascendants are here... mainly because of that...)" (me)
My attention turned to the metal cube emanating a strong Aura of power from the Ascendant Law, it was clear that she stole it and I could feel the great amount of power contained within as well as something else that I couldn’t identify.
It was clear that many things were happening at the same time, but there was nothing to be done, this time we were taken by surprise by the boldness of the Ascendants in this attack.
I can only hope that Zenos can withstand this.
