Will of chaos-Chapter 1788: Cap 1786: 24 hour deadline
Pov Mavor:
I was resting while Urak took my place in refining the Anomalous Armor, my entire body was stiff from this more than exhausting work.
I had time since I was resting and recovering my power before it was my turn again, because of that, I took the opportunity to check if those Gods had followed us along with that Chaos Bringer, with so much chaos and destruction that I left behind they wouldn't be resolved easily, they should take longer to come and that only if they really come to attack, which would be unlikely.
"It seems that Greed attacked, the timing is horrible even though it was something we expected, I thought we would have another 1 or 2 centuries." (me)
"Also a lot of things happened, Pride also attacking makes everything better, they will focus more on competing than advancing in their conquests."
(me)
"But the Avatar of the Curse... I don't understand its participation, fortunately that thing acted on its own, it must be insecure with the war between the Entities, it must become more active now, this will make it difficult to block information related to it." (me)
"..." (me)
I had many things to think about, one of them was the preservation of this universe or abandoning it towards a new one, it would be laborious and would waste time as well as resources remodeling everything.
"I will do nothing but contain the damage and gain time, as soon as we manage to Ascend even more in a hurry towards perfection." (me)
In my mind I can see the 3 of us finishing them off, each of these entities using us as pieces of a game where the rules and everything else are unknown.
"(Let's fire some missions to delay them.)" (me)
Greed and Pride are very predictable when attacking, no matter how strong they may be, Greed only cares about getting everything he wants, while Pride only wants to show himself superior, the feud with Greed is older than our existence as Ascendants, they will hinder each other, my real concern is the Bringer of Chaos.
That day his Divine Beast was able to deceive me, he also has 2 new Entities that I know little about, only 1 of them was enough to hurt my Soul, if it weren't for this item I wouldn't be able to refine the Anomalous Armor.
Looking down, black veins spread across my chest pulsing as a white and golden energy surrounds my body, thus rendering the pain and reducing the suffering to a minimum.
"Mavor...!?" (Urak)
"What is it?" (me)
"Activate the Apocalypse Code!"
(Urak)
"It's still too early, it could make everyone turn against us, better wait, maybe Vecna can reach Ascension faster." (me)
"..." (Urak)
Urak was suffering, but he still managed a few more hours of refinement, if Vecna were here it would be faster, it's much harder than last time.

Pov Adella:
I was looking at the planet in chaos, explosions happened frequently, energy pulses were felt all the way to where we were, I wanted to go there right now, I had been waiting here for more than 1 day, maybe 2 days, I'm not sure, my mind was too full of thoughts about him to pay attention to the passage of time.
"Nix, do you know what's going on, what did you find out?" (me)
"..." (Nix)
Her expression irritates me deeply, she can't understand how I feel, but she still tries to stop me, she thinks I didn't notice her Familiars going to that planet more than a day ago.
"Don't try to fool me Dragon Child, I'm older than your Father, your actions are just making me doubt you!" (me)
"Tell me what you know or I'll find out for myself, UNDERSTAND!!" (me)
"Okay..." (Nix)
Sigh
"The ones attacking that place are the Pride Troopers, one of the Entities, I don't know how they got into this universe, but there seems to be at least 1 Avatar there." (Nix)
"I also managed to get in touch with my master, Zenos warned about a war going on, another Entity also invaded a Star System where he was, in his case it was the Entity of Greed." (Nix)
"I don't give a damn about any of this, I want to know where that bastard is!?"
(me)
"..." (Nix)
"You know where he is, I can see it in your eyes! You're a terrible liar, so tell me now!!" (me)
"He was captured along with other Ascendants, it seems they don't want to kill the Ascendants, none of them were killed as far as I know." (Nix)
"Where!?" (me)
"Adella, if you do this it'll be a risk...!" (Nix)
"TELL ME WHERE THAT BASTARD IS!!!" (me)
"..." (me)
"You're losing control again, do you really want to go back to being that creature of pure violence?" (Nix)
The blood in my body started, the Star Path started flashing in my mind, clearly my shared lineage with Zenos was making this vision appear in my mind.
"..." (me)
"I don't know what he did to you, but it was clearly something unforgivable to leave you in this state."
(Nix)
The images of that day were beginning to flash intermittently between the images of Zenos' Star Path.
The blood coursing through my body seemed to boil, but it was as if it was absorbing the heat of my Soul and releasing my message from those images, I didn't want to let go of this anger, I knew it was harmful to me, but even so I didn't want to forget, I didn't want to leave it behind, I couldn't let it end up as just some forgotten memory in the back of my mind.
"I... I..." (I)
"Adella... I know I can't make you come back, but at least wait for one of the Heralds to arrive, we don't know what we're going to face and my master can use his power better through them than through me who am a complement to his power."
(Nix)
"..." (me)
All I wanted to do was move forward without thinking until I reached him. I don't even know what I would think when I saw him now. I don't know what words I would say to him. I don't know what kind of emotions seeing him in person would bring. I don't even know what I would dare to do if he were in front of me. But I still couldn't let this chance pass me by.
Nix's hands rested on my shoulders. She was trying to comfort me. She wanted the best for me. Even so, her voice and actions were so irritating that I felt like punching her.
"I won't ask you to wait too long. Just wait a few days."
(Nix)
"Some days..." (me)
I slap away the hand on my shoulder, for some reason this slap hurts me more than getting punched, I know she's trying to help, but I can't shake the idea of her being an obstacle to what I want, I can't shake the thought of running over her, the invaders and maybe the planet itself until I reach it, leaving a trail of destruction behind.
--------------------
Pov Zenos:
We fled that planet before that Avatar could return, I had no illusions about fighting it, because I could see in its presence that it was just masking something much worse inside, which probably means that the Entity was using the Avatar as a means.
"Commander, two new orders have arrived, the first was that we must prevent the arrival of an Avatar of Greed happening here." (Barerosa)
"The second order is to join with 3 other groups of Ascendants to save the Ascendants being detained by the troops of another Entity." (Barerosa)
I look at Barerosa, since that Avatar was detained, her eyes seem to carry something deep, I also catch her looking at me more than before and getting physically closer to me to the point where she no longer seems to pay as much attention to my mother who is always by my side.
"Is there a deadline for the completion of these missions?" (me)
"The second mission has 7 days of time, we can reach the location in 2 days."
(Barerosa)
"The first 20-hour mission is already complete and the place is exactly the one we left behind, the place where we were going to investigate." (Barerosa)
"..." (me)
"That means there's someone there, the one responsible for the kidnapping of the Ascendants, the separate Spaces full of Anomalous Creatures waiting to be sacrificed, the space gates being created and the invasion of this Entity..." (me)
New n𝙤vel chapters are published on novelbuddy.cσ๓.
"The culprit must still be there, we just didn't have time to find him." (me)
"(Actually, I think we already found him, I'm almost sure it must have been that bastard we met before.)" (me)
"They brought the troops before the commander, maybe this Avatar is too powerful and can't get through these portals." (me)
I suddenly found myself thinking about that giant creature, what would be the reason for bringing that creature, that Avatar that clearly isn't Greed's?
Suddenly I realized, it was to weaken the Ascendant Laws in the area, to weaken the dimensional membrane, it was all a preparation for another ritual or maybe something else to bring this Avatar of Greed, maybe I'm just overthinking it and I'm completely wrong.
Very well, I'll try to do this seriously this time, I can let troops and other Anomalous creatures pass since it helps to distract the Ascendants, but Avatars would be too much to let through, they can and probably will get in our way, Greed especially, I don't need to be a Genius to know that his power focuses a lot on taking control or stealing, his Avatar will be very dangerous to leave around when we're taking this and the other universes from the Ascendants.
"We're starting the mission, everyone get ready!" (me)
