Chapter 1531 - 1531: Cap 1529: God of Law
Pov Adella’s:
I was walking through the camp, there were still some High Priests alive as well as leaders among the Templars and Archbishops of Light, ironically there was also a Judge of the Law.
I looked in a direction where the dismembered bodies were being refined into only 12 corpses, Hela wanted to create handmade Death Knights and Zenos never had reservations with his enemies.
This place once full of the element of Light was now corrupted with all the other elements and a constant presence of curse replacing Baldr’s Holy Power.
That creature from Hell really corrupted a Sanctified Land, something I didn’t expect to be possible in this way.
I look to the other side and Lilith was conducting her tortures next to Samara who moves away as she starts walking towards me.
“Aren’t you attending the meeting?” (Samara)
“I’m not under his command, I have my own reasons for being here.” (I)
“Did you get anything from them?” (I)
“They won’t talk, their Faith is ironically high, but at least I can test some of my powers on them while I teach the Master’s daughter.” (Samara)
“…” (I)
I look at Lilith as she rips out the eye of one of the Templars with her tongue before forcing a kiss on him with the eye still in her mouth, the amusement in her expression is bizarre, these two really match and the worst is having to call her sister.
I look back at Samara, she had a little blood splattered on her face as well as painting her hands red, but I don’t care about that, what I focus my attention on is her Aura and also her expression, I need to know what she’s thinking about this matter.
“You didn’t tell him.” (I)
“Tell him about what?” (Samara)
“The Saint.” (I)
“Don’t worry about nonsense, the Master knows everything I do, there are no secrets from me, he knows…” (Samara)
“Then why doesn’t he leave?” (I)
“That’s because, he…” (Samara)
“…” (I)
“…” (Samara)
Suddenly the entire space distorts as an overwhelming Divine Pressure descends upon everyone, the ground shakes and crumbles, all the structures that remained standing until now fall into rubble while the entire base is dragged into the Mirrored Space, being isolated by the universe.
Looking up, there was only a sky full of stars and floating asteroids, there was no Sun or Moon in the sky.
But none of that mattered when a network of currents appeared, seeming to cover the skies, the energies become more rigid and my body much heavier.
Along with this Divine Power and chains came a presence as rigid as a block of metal, an authoritative presence like that of a tyrant.
These chains were not a Divine Weapon nor magic, this surprised me, it was the energy flows of this place that became ordered in this way because of this Divine Power as if they were flowing along a pre-prepared path.
Then I looked at the others, each of my Heralds had a serious look, only Samara and Alice who were my Saints had a calm look.
Samara had an Anomalous presence as if her existence became strange just by being here and Alice seemed like an open wound ending any sense of order around her.
My Divine Power was acting within them, protecting them from that Divine Power, while my Heralds were serious for the same reason as mine, because they recognized who this presence belonged to.
God of Law, Phatos.
The God of Law had arrived. I looked up, at a specific point in the sky where the currents originated and the point where all that presence was originating. It didn’t take more than a few seconds for a metal gate to break the space and enter.
When those metal doors opened, a refined and cultured man appeared. He appeared to be human. His short brown hair was combed to the side. For some reason, he had a monocle that I had never seen since I was reborn.
He looked like a Human. Besides his brown hair, his tanned skin, and his gray eyes, what caught my attention the most was his strange presence and behavior.
His expression is emotionless, his movements are rigid and at the same time natural like those of a veteran soldier, his entire presence exudes self-control and his gaze towards all things also seems to demand the same type of restraint from others.
His attire is formal, a suit that looks more like a coat reaching down to his knees, a formal outfit with a tie without any unnecessary adornment, simple in its execution and yet impressive in its entirety.
When he appeared, his eyes scanned every corner of this place, but I noticed that he spent the most time looking at me, Hinata who was next to me, Samara who appeared behind me, Ynes who was a little further away, Aurora who was next to him and finally Adella who ran to be one step ahead of me.
The whole time his expression and Aura did not change, as if he had no emotions, I could not even imagine his thoughts, but he still turned his gaze to Samara, the one who seemed the most relaxed in this entire place.
“Zenos, your lack of control and constant rejection of established rules did not escape me, nor did the many times you went against my devotees for irrational reasons.” (Phatos)
“In my eyes, you are the irrational one. Some of your so-called ‘devotees’ are even capable of sacrificing their companions in search of power.” (I)
“A fool who does not understand the universe, right and wrong are inverted, changing eternally as the years, centuries and millennia pass.” (Phatos)
“Even when we are on different planets at the same time, right and wrong can be completely opposite.” (Phatos)
“Laws are disrespected everywhere using excuses such as injustice or anything else.” (Phatos)
“Shut up, no one cares about your laws, everyone knows you are Baldr’s dog… Ahhh!!” (Adella)
Before Adella could finish speaking, chains emerged from the ground, digging into her body as if swimming in her flesh. They wrapped around her bones before leaving her hands and returning to the ground with her four limbs attached.
“I have an agreement with Baldr. Even though I don’t completely agree with his actions, he still seeks a state where laws are respected throughout the universe, unified universal laws, a truly worthy system of laws.” (Phatos)
“< Corruption of the Anomalous Predator >” (I)
I touch the chains coming out of Adella’s hands, who is a little in front of me. Some of my blood turns into a stellar crystal Leech with a flaming Aura.
As soon as the Leech sinks into the chain, it begins to swim and multiply inside, making the gray chain turn black as it writhes.
Soon there was nothing silver left of this chain as it fell apart in less than 4 seconds, black and red particles coming out of the chain as they sank into Adella’s body whose presence strengthened a little.
“Phatos, you have no right to speak here, your laws are as laughable as your unrealistic dreams, laws serve to support the people and should change with the times showing the progress of a civilization, which will naturally be different according to the history of each civilization.” (I)
“If you don’t understand this, then you are a failure as a God of Law.” (I)
“(Where is he?)” (I)
“(I don’t know, try stalling a little more, he came too fast.)” (Alice)
“I’m not here to discuss my dogmas with someone who elevated himself to a God by stealing from others instead of ascending on his own merits.” (Phatos)
“I want my Saint’s Soul back, just as I want the head of that hideous creature that serves you.” (Phatos)
His gaze once again turned to Samara, he didn’t change his expression the whole time and his Aura didn’t fluctuate at all like my provocations, he is clearly aware of his surroundings without being influenced by anything, truly someone difficult to deal with.
“I don’t know what Soul you’re talking about, besides, that corrupt thing is beyond your jurisdiction…” (I)
Before I finish speaking I feel his Divinity surround me, it feels like metal trying to solidify around me.
Soon golden chains appear around me, they became visible as soon as my Divinity revealed itself in my Aura, the characteristic of Chaos in my Divinity is a central aspect and was facing the chain head-on, preventing it from touching me.
That’s when I realized that my Divine Power of Chaos was the exact opposite of the Law that Phatos possesses, but I wasn’t stupid, even if I emulate all my power I’m not comparable to him, his level of power as a great God of thousands of years with worshipers throughout the universe is not something that just having the power of Chaos can go against.
“Your boldness and rebellion should have limits, Zenos.” (Phatos)
“A shame you won’t have the chance!” (Hernoth)
With the voice of the Demonic God of Sin a colossal sword crosses the space piercing the body of the God of Law, but he didn’t seem to care when his body disintegrated into chains that broke with Demonic energy around him, then Phatos appears on the ground looking up from where Hernoth appears with his hand still attached to the hilt of the Sword.
A Demonic presence full of temptation spreads out, clashing head on against the rigid presence full of rules, the two presences seem to try to break the other without success.
“Do you really think I didn’t notice the weak attempt to drag the subject of Selene’s son? Maybe you think I’m blind and didn’t see his daughter beside him?” (Phatos)
“How many times have you tried to ambush me so far?” (Phatos)
“Not enough if you’re still alive.” (Hernoth)
“He’s finally here…” (I)
Sigh
As the two Gods stared at each other, I was filled with relief that I wouldn’t have to participate in this kind of confrontation, after so many fights I’m more than tired.
