Will of chaos

Pov Hades:

I was with Davoth when we left through the portal, the one guarding it was one of the traitors on Davoth's side and thanks to that we were able to cross this entire universe to a strange area where almost no stars were seen.

On the other side there were also no planets nearby and not even an Ascendant guarding the Space Portal, the guardian was a planetary Golem like the ones that attacked our universe last time under Mavor's command.

"What is this place?" (me)

"A forbidden area, an entire galaxy that serves as a prison, getting here is impossible in any way other than by portal like we did and even that requires very specific coordinates to open the only correct passage among 200 traps." (Davoth)

"That's a very high level of security..." (me)

"How did you find this place?" (me)

"I helped design it, but I doubt any of them remember it. At the time, I was still a Level 2 Ascendant, one of hundreds who participated in the project. It was only much later that I let myself be discovered as a traitor and was killed. They probably don't even remember everything I did before." (Davoth)

"I created this Golem. I used the same standard specifications they use and replaced the previous one with mine. That's why it didn't attack us or warn us about our intrusion." (Davoth)

"The one you're looking for is here... but where are we going?" (me)

"Over there, in that dark area. The powers of the Ascendant Law are distorted in this Galaxy and don't reach that point, leaving everything there isolated." (Davoth)

"The Flow of Laws follows a complex path here. Each of these stars are Ritual Cores using this Flow of Laws as a magic circle. They are all attack or sealing rituals." (Davoth)

I look at the hundreds that shine in the darkness of space, they are so few and far between that this place does not look like a galaxy where thousands or millions of stars exist, it just looks like an area of ​​pure darkness with distant points of light.

"How are we going to get there, traveling without a vehicle will take a long time, maybe weeks." (me)

"It would be impossible to travel like that, I already told you, the Laws are distorted around that point and the Spatial Law is no exception." (Davoth)

"So how are we going to get there?" (me)

"We will use the Flow of Laws itself, travel directly to the inside, I prepared this passage thinking about that day, follow me to that blue Sun." (Davoth)

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

Pov Adella:

Before the attack began.

I had my eyes closed, those memories coming to my mind again, appearing one after the other as if stabbing knives into a wound that never closed.

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

"(Selene, look...)" (Kaan)

"(I swear to myself, if you've created a new type of Divine Flower again, I'll throw you into the nearest Sun!)" (me)

"(Come on... the flower was very beautiful, even you have to admit that.)" (Kaan)

"(That's when you're not trying to consume a planet!)" (me)

"(This time it's different, see... I made some of my worshippers discover ruins about you with your original teachings before they were distorted.)" (Kaan)

"(The ruins are an ancient temple of yours, part of your power is still present without being stained by the malice of others, I can finally prove to the rest of the universe that you're not an Evil Goddess! Hahahahaha...!)" (Kaan)

"(Kaan... proofs are useless, people believe what they want to believe, even if some will change their thoughts or even doubt what they knew until now, with the passing of a few generations, this will be lost again, there are many more examples of people misusing the power of blood, even if they are not my worshippers, they are seen as such by those outside.)" (me)

"(See what you're being called now... Archenemy of Selene or Blood Purifier God... there are many who know you as such because of the way you've hunted down all those who use the powers of blood negatively.)" (me)

"(No! They're wrong, I just want to prevent any more misunderstandings about you from continuing... I... I...)" (Kaan)

"(I appreciate your intentions, but just wanting something doesn't make it real, I appreciate everything you do, but it still hurts me to see your expression when things go wrong, that's why I'm telling you.)" (me)

"(...)" (Kaan)

"(I just want everyone to know what a wonderful Goddess you are... is that so wrong...?)" (Kaan)

"(No, that's wonderful of you, but don't fool yourself with results that may not happen, you, like other Gods, know about me, there are also some among mortals who still follow the old teachings, that's enough to me.)" (me)

"(So stop being so sad so often.)" (me)

Those days were full of happiness, he was such a kind person, every time he approached me I couldn't help but smile, but now just the memory of those days hurts so much that it's unbearable, all that happiness turned into anger, all that love turned into hate, those memories hurt more than anything that happened, the betrayal of the one closest to me tore me apart, making me turn into the monstrosity that everyone always believed I was.

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

"They're here, wake up!" (Nix)

"..." (me)

I open my eyes, I was in a now empty restaurant, Nix was by my side, his hand was on my shoulder and with his call I push those memories and emotions back to the bottom of my heart, we both had to pass as servants of Zenos who had not yet gone through Ascension, brought from whatever universe he invented to have come from.

Soon the restaurant doors open and 5 people enter, 4 of them are human and only one of them is a Beast Man, as soon as I look at them I realize that only one of them has the rigid behavior and empty look of the people of this shitty universe, all the others are clearly immigrants who betrayed their original universes or surrendered during the Ascendants' invasions.

"(I would like to kill them all, damn traitors and fucking cowards!)" (me)

"You're late." (Nix)

"Sorry, the Pride Troopers seem to be doing a very good job looking for suspicious people like us." (Bear Man)

"I'm Olivia and this is Samantha, what's her name?" (Nix)

"My name is Rodríguez, I'm Collins' servant." (Rodríguez)

"And we're Bond's servants." (Nix)

With that, everyone started introducing themselves, those damn bastards started introducing themselves as if we were all little friends, I would like to tear each one of them apart and bathe in their blood, that would be really nice.

"Stop emitting that murderous intent, we have to move." (Nix)

"Don't worry, I understand how she feels, I don't like holding back like that either." (Rodríguez)

"But we have a mission and it's not combat, unfortunately..." (Rodríguez)

"On this mission I will be giving the orders, I am in contact with the Ascendant Morgana, she will locate both the Rescue Targets and the enemies for us, I expect full cooperation." (Nix)

"I will do it, don't worry." (Rodríguez)

"The chances of the Ascendants all being in the same place are low, the level 2 and level 3 ones must be in different areas, we won't be able to get out with all of them without being noticed." (me)

"The Pride Troopers we saw around the city are too weak to face Level 2 Ascendants." (me)

"Most likely the really strong enemies are inside the enemy base, there's also a chance an Avatar is present, but if that turns out to be true the Ascendants took care of that." (me)

Everyone feels a wave of energy passing by and soon after a storm starts outside with sounds of lightning coming from one direction as well as a fog covering the city.

That was the signal that the battle had begun, it also reveals that the Avatar was indeed present and is already under attack by the Ascendants, this was the time to move.

"We're going now!" (Nix)

Everyone nods, I wave my fist downwards creating a deep pit that reaches the sewer networks, all the earth that was in the way was swallowed up in blood that spills down the sides of the pit and inside without making any noise of explosion or anything else.

"Let's go!" (me)

I jump without even looking at anyone, Nix right behind and the others coming after her, the plan was to use the sewer system to invade the fortress from underground, the enemy troops have no structural knowledge of the city and didn't have time to check everything.

Thanks to the Golems facing the Pride Troopers on the surface and the Ascendants together with Zenos facing the Avatar, the internal defenses will be weaker and everyone will be more focused on the outside than the inside.

We all studied the sewer tunnel system separately, it was something easy to memorize, I did it in minutes, then we followed the path in a few tens of seconds while suppressing our Auras.

Nix gives hand signals as she stands next to me, I nod to her and jump up, my hand touches the ceiling that turns to blood leaving a well upwards, I jump up all at once with the others following, we arrive at the kitchen.

"Where to...?" (me)

"Rodríguez, you use the Crystal with you to teleport with the level 2 Ascendants, we will release the level 3 ones and start another fight from the inside out." (Nix)

"You guys go to the first floor point 32, we will go to the third floor, don't wait for us, we will use the disturbance caused by your teleportation to act." (Nix)

"I understand." (Rodríguez)
