Will of chaos

The next day after my sister’s return I didn’t even get out of bed, everyone knew that I wanted to rest at least for a day, I didn’t need a physical rest, but a rest for my mind that was under pressure for so long.

Without wanting to do anything during that day I took a book from the shelf in my room in the mansion inside the Dungeon, I wanted to read something to pass the time and without realizing it I picked up the same strange children’s book that I started to read in the past, but never finished.

“The 7 Sacrifices.” (I)

“Let’s just read it, I think I left it marked where I left off.” (I)

(Author’s Note: Part 1 of this story is in Chapter 794, I advise you to read it if you forgot or skipped it.)

———–

The brave King until that moment had made 2 sacrifices, first his pure heart by slaughtering those being controlled by the monsters to save at least their Souls, and the second sacrifice was his humanity by absorbing the power, blood, and will of millions of warriors who fell in the same battlefield where he was seriously injured, all this to be able to save his kingdom being attacked by the terrible enemy he has been facing for years.

With his power reaching heights he never dreamed of, the King was able to arrive before his enemies managed to invade his Capital, but otherwise, all the rest of his Kingdom had fallen.

The King crossed the enemy lines alone to reach the walls of his capital where he placed himself on top of the gates, he placed himself as the last line of defense of his Kingdom.

The defensive battle lasted for days and defeat was inevitable, the King’s mighty army was not able to keep up with his speed and would not arrive in time.

The King having lost almost all the forces defending the capital used his own life force to create a barrier around the entire capital.

In the King’s most desperate moment, the Moon Fairy from before appears once again with tears in her eyes.

The appearance of that Fairy filled the King with the deepest despair as he remembered the secret that the Fairy once told.

The Fairy knowing that no words could reach the King did something that would make the King suffer even more, the Moon Fairy showed the King that many other Races were fighting in far away places and showed what happened to people powerless to fight when the enemies arrived.

Their bodies deformed as their Souls were snuffed out like a candle flame, the people themselves having their bodies transformed into more enemies.

In his desperation, a roar of pain comes out of the King’s mouth for knowing what he had to do, the Moon Fairy cried by his side, knowing the pain he caused in his attempt to help.

The enemies would not wait and the King’s powerful barrier continued to take blows revealing that it would not last long, the King with his last strength ran through his Capital killing every person until the streets were covered in the blood of the innocent.

This was his third Sacrifice, the destruction of his ideals and dreams, the desire to bring prosperity and happiness to his citizens buried with his own hands.

The King didn’t know it, but the resolve to at least save the Souls of his citizens with this massacre made his unique ability [Will] activate once more making the King able to take the space around him as his Territory by overriding his will on that of the rest of the world.

But the King wasn’t happy because he was standing before the 3 most important people in his life while his body, still wounded from defending the city during those days, was covered in the blood of the innocent citizens he had just killed.

The King was in despair and grief beyond anything he had ever felt, even though he knew that he did this because he was the only salvation for those people, he was not able to maintain the same resolve for his family.

The King’s hands weren’t able to reach them even though his wife was smiling at him with their two young children in her arms.

The Queen knew about the Fairy because she was her friend, she knew the reason for the Massacre that her husband caused and she knew the reason for his sadness, but she herself was not able to do what was done by the King, she was also not able to to do nothing against his own children and implored the King that at least the children should have their Souls saved.

The King heard his wife’s pleas asking for an action that would go far beyond the King’s worst nightmare, he looked at the Fairy who approached the children and crossed their bodies like a Phantom, the Fairy herself was not able to take action in that world no matter how much I wanted to.

The King, seeing the barrier being broken and the enemies invading the capital, knew that he could not defend his family from such a number of enemies in such a deplorable state.

The King, knowing he would never forgive himself for such an act, used his blood as a weapon, creating 3 needles that lingered on his family’s forehead, leading everyone to a painless death. .𝙘𝒐𝒎

Endless pain and suffering took hold of the King, driving him to madness, his only wish was death, and an endless will to die took hold of him, he knew what would happen to him next, he knew that being killed by these creatures was a risk worse than death and he wanted such an end for the horrendous act he had just committed.

But at this moment a light flashed in front of him and a transparent image of his wife appeared before his eyes bringing his mind back from insanity only to see her become a sphere of light and enter his body while saying only one word in his mind.

“Alive!”

Such unacceptable words for the King were heard, and the King could feel his wife’s soul inside him and knew why he did this, the Queen knew that the King would not allow his Soul to be tainted by enemies, the Queen hoped that her act would allow for the King to fight to survive now that he didn’t need to protect anyone and if the King found the worst of ends for his enemies, the Queen would leave beside him, accompanying the King until the end.

The King did not know that the act of will to die activated his unique ability and the desire to protect his wife’s Soul gave function to the power he would acquire, the will of the citizens responded to the Queen’s act of love and just like on that battlefield the will of an entire Kingdom rushed to the King along with the blood healing his body.

For the next few days, the King gave himself over to madness, he fought alone with his body continually being torn to pieces and healing at the same speed without ever resting until the last of his enemies were dead.

When his army finally reached him only the King was kneeling in the middle of a ruined city kneeling weeping bloody tears in wail, the Soul of the Queen having gone to see her husband safe at last.

That day he committed his third and fourth Sacrifices while throwing himself into a pit of eternal suffering.

“What the fuck, how can this be a children’s book!!!???” (I)

“Dammit dammit dammit!!!!” (I)

For some reason, I felt my heart squeeze so hard as if it was being crushed and I couldn’t see anything else with tears that wouldn’t stop coming out of my eyes.
