Will of chaos

Pov Lena:

For hours and hours, I focused only on this Golem, it really is a shame what happened to these planets, but I can't do much more than that for now, maybe I can turn this Golem into a subordinate Anomalous Creature.

"I'm already halfway here, I'm glad to see you're done." (me)

"I finished a long time ago, Famine's troops were never a problem, your difficulty would be in employing the tide of infinite beasts, but with fixed numbers like that, your forces were smaller than what War sent." (Cortana)

"Then why don't you go help them?" (me)

"That Skull is one of the ones created by Uratos, Death hated him and I'm sure you do too." (me)

"I do hate him, but you must see beyond this universe, if you reveal too much of our power, the later fight will be harder." (Cortana)

"Are you betting on the boy Davoth's plan?" (me)

"Life and Death helped him with his plan, but they couldn't help personally, all they did was explain the best way to transform those Universes using the constants of Life and Death as a basis to reestablish the natural cycle." (Cortana)

"Now we can act personally and our powers are more suited to these universal transformations." (Cortana)

In front of me, my sister looked at me explaining her point of view, but I could see that she herself is unsure about the end of this, her concern is probably me.

"I understand you and Davoth trying to see the big picture of the situation, but not everyone shares that point of view, what will Zenos and the Gods of this universe see when they discover your lack of impetus during this fight?" (me)

"..." (Cortana)

"Cortana, we are not Life and Death, we may have your memories, but we do not need to have your limitations, as much as seeing the whole is good, we are in a position where we can extend our hands more easily." (me)

"I am trapped here because of this Golem, but you can still act, you do not need to interfere with the course of events, but you can make yourself feared by those who play with the limits of life and death." (me)

"You are right, I am letting myself fall into old patterns that are not mine... thank you." (Cortana)

Sigh

We both did not need to see with our eyes, everything that was happening in this star system was falling on our senses perfectly, this includes the forced negotiation by the Ascendants.

They always walk too close to the limit line without fearing anything and thus cause endless damage wherever they go like a disease, honestly they are disgusting to me.

If I hadn't been trapped by that Golem, I would probably have acted before Callidora even showed herself.

"Even if I want to do something, I must wait for everything to end, Callidora is already acting as an intermediary." (Cortana)

"I agree, but be prepared since they tried to escape as soon as they get what they're looking for." (me)

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

Pov Zenos:

My blood was boiling with rage, my body trembling with the urge to act, my mind full of everything the Ascendants had done to get here and yet the worst was at the end, those countless people forced to transform just to be sacrificed without risk to the Ascendants.

Such a large genocide is already devastating to those who see it, but Gods can see much more than just the surface, I could see their lives being sucked out, I could hear the lament of their Souls like whispers in their Auras trapped in their own bodies, not to mention all that death energy, I hadn't seen that amount re-minisced since my visit to Hell.

Even after all this, these bastards still arrive with so many confined Souls talking about negotiation and Callidora dares to accept this!

"(Zenos, you need to calm down, I can feel that those Souls are still attached to living bodies, I can feel the inherent Vitality in them better than any of you, don't let your anger cause another Massacre.)" (Lena)

"..." (me)

"Are you calmer?" (Selene)

"No!" (me)

"Good, then keep that anger, we'll need it when I get my hands on that Ascendant!" (Selene)

I turned my eyes to my Mother, sisters, wives and other Gods, everyone was enraged, it wasn't just me, but only those connected to me seemed almost out of control and I understood that my emotions were leaking through my connection with them negatively influencing their behaviors.

Breathe! Exhale!

Sigh

I wasn't calm at all, but at least I was more consciously controlling my emotions, as Lena said, I don't want to cause so many deaths because of a fit of rage.

"< Invocation >" (me)

I extend my hand again, then a magic circle forms from where a metallic cube containing the power of the Ascendant Law appears, as soon as it appears the universe presses on it just like it does with all the other Ascendants, but this doesn't affect anything other than the Aura emitted by the cube compressing.

"Is this what you want!?" (me)

"Exactly, a fair exchange, isn't it?" (Mavor)

"Fair!!!??" (me)

"Zenos..." (Ibuki)

"Act calmly... for now..." (Diana)

I see my wives standing by my side, their murderous intentions being quite big, not compared to mine or the other Gods, but still big.

Sigh

"Callidora, I won't forget this!" (me)

"I'm sorry dear for making you think I care... I'm already being too biased because of my sweet Niryna." (Callidora)

"(That damn Bitch...!)" (me)

Suddenly Lara and Dante appeared behind Niryna, their faces were impossibly straight, but their Auras were frustrated as they looked at their Master.

"You two can go get the items and bring them to me." (Callidora)

"..." (Dante/Lara)

"Go get..." (Niryna)

"As you wish, my lady." (Lara)

"..." (Dante)

Niryna's Servants didn't move under Callidora's orders, but she just looked at Niryna who took a few seconds to move her hands dispatching them to do what Callidora asked, her face was dejected.

"You can hand me the cube..." (Dante)

"Only after the Skull falls into Niryna's hands, other than that, no!" (me)

"..." (Dante)

"You heard, little Mavor..." (Callidora)

I didn't hear what Lara said, but her expression was cold and her killing intent quite evident as she stretched out her hands to Mavor, he looked stressed, but didn't say anything and just looked at Callidora as she handed the Skull floating above Lara's hands, she instantly turned pale as she floated back to Niryna, her Aura becoming weaker along the short way back.

When she reached Niryna and handed it to her, she only had a more serious expression while her hand emanated an Infernal energy that made everyone watching more serious. Infernal energy was the most evil thing I had ever felt, and the same must be true for everyone else.

"Zenos, if I may...?" (Dante)

"Take it..." (me)

I handed the cube to Dante, who carried it back to Niryna with great ease, who took it with her other hand. Soon an Infernal Aura also emanated from that hand, surrounding the cube.

"Now do as I taught you." (Callidora)

"..." (Niryna)

"We've already talked about this, child, so do it..." (Callidora)

Niryna was reluctant, visibly reluctant, and yet Callidora seemed certain that she would go ahead without losing her cool, so the infernal energy around the two objects turned into a symbol that collided with the two.

"< Infernal Magic: Splitter of Destinies >" (Niryna)

Crack

The symbol became a scythe held by a spectral arm that counted the objects, then a sound of something breaking was heard from both of them, I felt my technique that connected the cube with the Star Palace breaking, so the same must have happened to Mavor.

"Now neither of you can recover your respective items, I also erased the power of chaos from the Anomalous Armor as well as sealed the cursed functions of the Skull of Uratos." (Callidora)

"Hand it over." (Callidora)

"Do it." (Niryna)

"..." (Lara/Dante)

The two of them take the items bringing them to me and the Ascendants before returning to Niryna's side who flies away as Callidora's voice echoes in the area.

"The deal is done, do as you wish now." (Callidora)

"< Unholy Breath >" (me)

"< Divine Judgment of Blood >" (Selene)

"< Claws that Shatter the Moon >" (Diana)

"< ... >" (All)

With Callidora's words and removal, no one stood still, everyone moved in rapid fire attacks knowing that the Ascendants would try to escape, but to my surprise, they did not try to escape immediately.

The Golems both massive and smaller take the lead receiving these attacks while the power of the gathered Ascendants gathers in the book that is in the hands of the statue behind Mavor's throne, the book glows as its energy condenses around the statue that breaks revealing a presence that everyone knows, a General of the Abyss.

At the same time, all the Ascendants around the throne were disappearing, their bodies becoming more translucent while their presence seemed to become more distant, they were teleporting.

But before that General of the Abyss could free himself from the statue and the Ascendants could flee, Cortana appears next to the statue pushing it with her foot while a black mist swallows the statue that disappears, without losing rhythm Cortana appears in front of Mavor with his arm across his chest as if he were an illusion, he was smiling when he completely disappeared along with all the Ascendants leaving only those Golems still fighting against us behind.
