Will of chaos

“Do you really have no idea what you’ve done?” (Elizabeth)

“Yes, I know he did something horrible, but you went a little too far…” (Vanessa)

“I don’t care about the torture itself.” (Elizabeth)

“Any great ruler or person of great authority knows that piety is a blessing not everyone deserves, I don’t care about that Judge or whoever he is.” (Elizabeth)

“The important thing is this Curse.” (Elizabeth)

I see Elizabeth speak and like Vanessa, I thought she was angry that I went too far with my punishment against that Judge.

I’m perfectly aware that the Curse I placed on him and how I made it last as long as possible was inhumane, but I’ve stopped trying to continue thinking as a Human from my old world, what Elizabeth said at the end is not wrong, not everyone deserves mercy or pity and some don’t even deserve a quick death.

“What do you mean? What did I do wrong?” (I)

“What do you always do wrong?” (Elizabeth)

Sigh

“You always do that, do something absurd without even realizing what you were doing…” (Elizabeth)

“How you manage to be more troublesome than Caitlyn was in her youth is a mystery to me.” (Elizabeth)

“Stop the drama and suspense, just say what you know.” (Caitlyn)

“You act like I’m doing something absurd, that means you know something I don’t.” (I)

“I know a lot of things you don’t, I’m older than some of the worlds in this universe.” (Elizabeth)

“But it’s still the first time I’ve seen something like what should be impossible with your strength.” (Elizabeth)

“You may appear to be a messenger of death, a little context might be helpful.” (Elizabeth)

“How did you feel me?”

“With its original strength lost and degraded to such a state, it shouldn’t be possible to sense my presence.”

“So it’s you, Thalia, I find it hard to just be you, where’s the other one?” (Elizabeth)

“You know not to interfere too much, so why make things difficult?” (Thalia)

“For what I have to say it would be better not to be you, I guess you know what I’m talking about.” (Elizabeth)

“That’s not something to tell mortals about.” (Thalia)

“Yet you know you’re still mortal or something close to it at least.” (Elizabeth)

“Show up.” (Thalia)

“How did you know I was here?”

“Thalia is very weakened from sending a part of herself here, the Goddess Kalistos wouldn’t send her in this state and it would take a long time for her real body to get here, so someone like you would definitely be around.” (Elizabeth)

“I see, so from the beginning you didn’t feel our presence, you just knew we would be here due to the anomaly, correct?”

“Yes.” (Elizabeth)

“(It’s been a while since I’ve been following the conversation.)” (I)

Out of nowhere Elizabeth closes her eyes and speaks as if not directed at anyone in particular, but then a woman in a pink dress appears who is clearly some sort of Ghost or Specter with her body being kind of translucent.

This woman’s body was extremely pale light gray, she also has her long curly hair being completely white and her eyes being completely jewel blue, her appearance was very striking even more with the various jewels on her dress.

From Elizabeth’s conversation, it seems that this person’s name is Thalia, I also understood that she is not truly here, this is just an image or a part of her, it must be something like the High Priestess Yara who is a divided body whose body must be in another world it seems.

I didn’t follow the conversation, but soon another person appeared, this one was some kind of Specter whose presence was a dead point in my senses to the point that if it weren’t for seeing and hearing it, it wouldn’t know it was there since neither would my Aura or detection skills can sense her, actually, it works for both, but for some reason, the second scares me more with her Blue Flaming eyes.

The second was a woman wearing a black and gray hooded dress, she doesn’t have many features like the previous one who must like to draw attention, but I feel a greater danger from her almost instinctively.

“Good to see you again Taboo Slayer…” (Caitlyn)

“Don’t harass her or speak disparagingly to someone you’ve just met.” (Elizabeth)

“She already knows me, she was the one who killed me.”

“To be fair, you were shit and wanted to lock me up in a cave in the mountains.” (Caitlyn)

“I still think it would have been the best option for a kid like you back then…”

“…”

“Did she tell you to stop arguing?” (Caitlyn)

“You should behave yourself too, we have more important things to do.” (Elizabeth)

I definitely don’t know what’s going on anymore, apparently, this new person is a Huntress Taboo I guess say from the Goddess of Death, it also seems like she knows my sister Caitlyn from the past, how much in the past I can’t say for sure and they don’t seem to get along good.

“I know why you came and would like your cooperation in explaining to my Little Brother what he has done.” (Elizabeth)

“I will help by the fact that Zenos has been very cooperative with the Goddess Kalistos.”

“Thank you, I’m also sure we’ll avoid meaningless fights from now on, right Caitlyn?” (Elizabeth)

“Do what you want…” (Caitlyn)

It seems that they reached an agreement, but how complicated a conversation can be to take so long, it was supposed to be just an explanation, why bother so much about something that could be simpler.

I also don’t like the proportions this is taking, I don’t know if Caitlyn is right and this second still unnamed person is a Taboo Slayer or not, but it’s certainly not someone common, neither of them is common.

All this weighs me down in the cocoon, they seem to be here because of the cocoon, which will eventually come down to me that I created this thing, Elizabeth doesn’t seem to like the cocoon either, but so far I don’t know what’s going on, so better to keep quiet and pray it all sorts itself out.

“(I hope I haven’t done anything weird again and it’s just my imagination this is all my fault.)” (I)

“(This is all your fault, but my Goddess doesn’t care and so you shouldn’t worry, Zenos.)”

“(I don’t like having strangers on my mind.)” (I)

“(Don’t be offended, I’m checking everyone’s minds here for safety since they’ve been exposed for too long to the Evil God’s presence.)”

“(There are others like me looking at the other people near the World Tree as we speak here.)”

“…” (I)

My sisters seem to be aware of this, Natasha is looking at this Taboo Slayer and Caitlyn is smiling teasingly at her, Elizabeth doesn’t show any reactions and just looks at me nodding as if speaking only to accept.

I say no more as she dared to do this even to my sisters, even though I don’t think she could do it to Caitlyn or she wouldn’t have that smile on her face.

“Well, what I want to explain is something mortals don’t know, but half of us are Demigods, Saints or ancient World Trees and so I can talk about it.” (Elizabeth)

Those present here are me, my 3 sisters, as well as Vanessa, Alice, and Silvia who brought me here, and also the two people who look like Ghosts I don’t know. .

“First I must explain something, this cocoon is containing the Souls of the idiots who tried to take advantage of the situation, these two are waiting for these Souls.” (Elizabeth)

“Yes, it looks like the Corrupted Souls are being completely absorbed, but the undamaged Souls are just having their power and consciousness devoured without harming the Souls, just so we’re allowing all of this to continue.” (Thalia)

“Yes and thank you for not interfering, I’m sure when this cocoon is done with these Souls then they will be loose for you to take.” (Elizabeth)

“Now with that explained, let me tell you this, this cocoon is already half a step away from becoming a Divine Servant.” (Elizabeth)

Pov Arash (Dragon Emperor):

When I opened my eyes I was looking at a sky full of clouds at night, I lift my body feeling the exhaustion and pain as I force myself to stand up having already noticed Juliano’s presence.

I stand beside you standing on the city walls looking down on the battlefield below, it was no surprise that we won, in my mind I never accepted any other outcome than this one.

“He finished?” (I)

“He finished.” (Julian)

No words needed to be exchanged, those few words were enough, but even though I’m done with Rhaegal, the hatred inside me hasn’t gone away or diminished, maybe it will never go away because she won’t be by my side anymore, at least I can be content in knowing that garbage no longer exists either in body or soul.

I look out over the battlefield and wonder how the other Dragons I sent took care of the army of Light Dragons they intercepted.

“(They must have taken care of everyone, I hope they follow my final orders, I’m going to need to hibernate for a few weeks.)” (I)
