Will of chaos

Pov Niryna:

I was finding this whole situation very strange, Callidora hadn't said anything since we arrived in this universe, but I can still feel her looking through my eyes, sometimes I feel like I feel her laughing at what she was seeing.

I never know what she wants, her mind simply works abnormally, I can't reason with her, I can't even seem to ask her what she wants, honestly the only ones who seem to understand Callidora on some level are Zenos and Samara.

"I can't understand, why don't they stop following me!!!" (me)

"Ma'am, I believe your Aura is the problem..." (Dante)

Dante, who was following me along with Lara, spoke as if he had noticed something.

"Doesn't their presence remind you of anyone?" (Dante)

"..." (me)

"Ma'am, we need to go further there!!" (Lara)

As I changed my direction to where several Gods were waiting, I tried to calmly feel these creatures. I heard that Zenos managed to defeat one of these things by himself. He's a monster.

As thoughts began to wander in my mind, I tried to increase my senses on the enemies. That's when I noticed the traces of presence, not of their large body of darkness, but rather the red orbs on their heads.

"(That energy... it can't be!?)" (me)

"Callidora! What did you do!?" (me)

"..." (me)

Callidora didn't react. She didn't even say anything, she didn't show anything. Even so, I could still feel her eyes on me.

"Miss, I think it's highly likely that they were created from materials or trade that comes from Mrs. Callidora." (Lara)

"Judging by their Aura of Death, I can imagine the amount of sacrifices being astronomical, so I agree with this blade maniac." (Dante)

"What did you call me!?" (Lara)

"Stop, both of you!!" (me)

"< Infernal Magic: Lamentation Explosion >" (me)

Aaahhhhh!!!! Oohhhh!!! AAAAAHHHH!!

Feeling the black mist around him condensing into the shapes of large arms that stretch towards us, I turn my back while continuing to fly and with one arm, I launch a pulse of cursed energy that contains the laments of those I killed, tortured or made suffer in the past.

This wave-shaped explosion of energy pushed those large hands of darkness back, giving us some space until we reached the Gods who were waiting a little longer for the sick.

"(What wretched creatures are these!!!??)" (me)

In my head I couldn't help but wonder how my Father managed to defeat one of these things, their bodies are made of darkness and their red cores move too much, not to mention that they seem to be immune to most damage.

I couldn't help but curse Callidora in my mind, Dantes and Lara were right, Callidora is probably responsible for these causes to exist, either directly or indirectly, most likely she negotiated with the Ascendants for this, she is older than them by a large margin and her knowledge is very deep in different things, I can imagine them looking for her for the commercial since many seem to dislike it.

"< Divine Demonic Magic: Claws of Wrath >" (Hernoth)

"< Divine Arts of War: Hammer of the Firmament >" (Hatlas)

"< Claws of the Beast God >" (Cratos)

As I passed through an area of ​​space that was turbulent, three Gods launched their attacks in my direction, but not aimed at me, their extremely powerful attacks passed through me, making cold sweat run down my back.

Pov Zenos:

"< 1st Art of the Star Sword: Consumer of Worlds >" (me)

GGGGRRRRRRR!!!

This time the power of chaos seemed different from the previous times, it wasn't exactly in the form of control, it was different, it was alive in a way, it wasn't anything like instinct or self-awareness, it was different, it was so bizarre that I didn't know how to express it, I just felt and understood, it was something that I didn't even know was sleeping inside me and now it was waking up.

It wasn't exactly the power of chaos, but as the power of chaos flowed through me, I began to understand it better. It was my ability, a Transcendental Ability that evolved from a unique ability, something I was born with in this life and at first I thought I had received from the Goddess Selene because I was her son. Now I know it wasn't because of her.

The Chaotic Devourer was never a support-type ability. I never used it as I truly should have. I never thought deeply about this ability beyond choosing what I would eat. The only form of attack I ever thought of for this ability was to fuse it into my Eclipse Sword like this.

Now I realize how much I was underestimating my most unique Ability, how much I made such superficial use of it. It wasn't just a feeding ability, it was a literal beast. The 'Devourer' in the name wasn't directed at me, it was an indication of the ability itself being a Devourer, a predator that can devour everything.

My sword changes, becomes a larger pit, on the blade sharp teeth appear facing inwards, where a space of darkness appears revealing many predatory eyes that move threateningly through the darkness.

A wild Aura covers the sword while Starfire covers it together forming a layer of stars around it while a murderous intent emerges not from me, but from the sword as the roar emanates from it.

But it wasn't just the murderous intent, there was something behind it, deeper, the hunger that was once the norm in the place that the murderous intent now takes, now it was hidden deep down, but it wasn't the same primitive hunger as before, it was more primordial and frightening, it was as if this hunger was directed at existence itself and encompassed everything.

"What is this? What did your sword do?" (Ayden)

"Why would I tell you?" (me)

"It's as if you're holding one of the Avatars of Hunger in your hands and not one I've ever seen." (Ayden)

"..." (me)

I can't deny that in my mind I also made this comparison, maybe that's why this new pair of eyes is turned in my direction, the pressure in my Soul increased a lot when I felt a new pair of eyes joining the War and most likely it is Famine.

Slightly looking away to the side, I saw almost all the wild creatures of the Famine Entity's army with their heads turned in my direction, their gazes needed deep as if it wasn't them looking at me, as if there was something beyond them daring them to look and I knew that something was the Famine Entity.

"(Having two entities like that focused on me is extremely uncomfortable!!)" (me)

"Let's see what changes are in this sword!" (Ayden)

Ayden charges towards me, his sword glowing red as it clashes with me, but as soon as my sword and his make contact, the starfire around him forms a jaw that bites into the enemy's blade, the red energy seeming to be sucked out of the sword as it vibrates from the bite.

Ayden swings his sword as he pushes me back with his strength, his Aura becoming more and more serious as he looks at his sword.

Chew Chew

Chew!

But he wasn't the only one surprised, I could feel something chewing inside me, it was the same creature from the skill, it seemed that even though it had started to wake up it hadn't yet awakened its commitment, it was moving as little as possible and my Will could barely reach it for that reason.

"(What was that voice...)" (me)

I was lost about many things, the sword hadn't changed its effect much, it was almost the same as I remembered, but the change was structural at a fundamental level, the weight of the technique was almost the same and the energy expenditure was lower making it easier to fight like this for long periods of time.

It was as if I wasn't fighting alone, the skill was alive and fighting by my side carrying part of the burden, but that wasn't all, I could still feel that there was more to be discovered, my only real concern wasn't the sword, the enemy in front of me, the two Entities paying attention to me or this war, all of these were things that were at the limits of my prediction and understanding.

What scared me was that voice, the spark that caused this change in me, that pushed my Chaos energy to revolt, causing my Ability to begin to awaken.

I didn't understand who that voice was, where the Whispers were coming from, and I couldn't guess, not knowing anything was the worst possible thing, but I didn't have time to reflect on these things in the middle of the battle.

"You amuse me, Bringer of Chaos... you amuse me a lot... hahahahaha...." (Ayden)

"..." (me)

Ayden didn't hide his joy, his body trembled as he laughed with his Aura becoming stronger and more brutal, the battlefield around us seemed to respond to his emotions with war groups sounding in all directions, the sounds of battle happening becoming louder as Ayden's eyes locked on me as he advanced.

This time there were no sword techniques, it was a battle of pure mastery with the swords at high speed, he surpassed me in this aspect and he knew it, he would not give me a chance to gain the upper hand again, our sword collisions were blending into the battlefield in harmony as if battle was the natural state of things here.
