Will of chaos

Author: I posted the wrong chapter, it’s now been corrected.

I’ll leave a warning in the next chapter as well.

*****************

I couldn’t understand everything that was happening; everything was happening so fast, but I didn’t have time to think about it right now.

Things like hesitation, doubt, or even confusion are useless in an emergency just as they are fatal in a battle. If you don’t know what’s happening, then act first and think later.

The entire universe was creaking, endless cracks were forming, rifts were beginning to open, and the power of reality was decaying as if it were being degraded slightly.

Standing still was asking for disaster, so my first thought was to return to the others. I turned around, and the challenge from before loomed once more, a wall of miasma that seemed to have no end.

There was no way to bypass this miasma in a short time; it essentially divides the entire galaxy. Doing so would mean wasting hours of travel time, time I couldn’t afford to waste, and so I dared to cross the miasma first, which I had to do again.

“I have to deal with this miasma to get through…” (me)

“Wait… Nix is ​​on the other side…” (me)

“Good thing I remembered that.” (me)

“< Open >” (me)

I wave my hand, and my shadow rises in front of me, forming a black crystal-shaped portal filled with points of light of various colors and sizes, like stars.

I entered, falling into my Divine Realm, the Star Path.

Since I was on my own Star Path, I didn’t need to walk, run, or search for anything; I knew where everything was at all times.

I was now standing in the void of space, because this entire place was my path. Surrounding us were various types of paths, and in the center of it all was an Eclipse that could be seen from all directions.

Taking a step forward, I was already somewhere else. I was on a crystal path with dragon sculptures and ornaments, right in front of me a door that looked like Nix’s dragon head.

I didn’t waste time, I touched the door and pushed it open, revealing the darkness within, which was soon illuminated by many stars. I entered without a care, and it was like walking through a curtain of water.

I stepped out next to Nix, and the first thing I saw was the tip of a spear millimeters from my face, a spear tip longer than my entire body. I didn’t even have time to blink and did my best, opening my jaws to bite the tip of the spear while being pushed back, where I ended up colliding with Nix’s body, stepping on his rib.

“< Eclipse Titan Art: Limiting Sword >” (Sakura)

As soon as I stepped on Nix’s body, I used my power to counter the blow, pushing her back a few kilometers. At that moment, a wooden sword adorned with red leaves descended toward the spear-wielder who was pulled back.

My teeth were aching a little, and that was it. A blow like that wouldn’t kill me, at most it would cause a minor wound, but I reacted more out of shock than anything else.

“Idiot Master…” (Layla)

“< Blood Magic: Divine Flames >” (me)

Suddenly, I noticed a presence behind me and saw Layla with two holes in her body, one in her stomach and the other in place of her right eye. I could see the other side, and her body was very weak. Yet, above her was a half-armored head, bleeding profusely. It was Orion.

I wasted no time, with a wave of my hands a part of my blood leaks out as it ignites in red flames, flames that emanate both an absurd amount of vitality, as well as emanating concentrated Divine power, as a son of the Goddess of Blood I did not leave this area of ​​my study without reviewing even though it is not my strong point.

The red flames envelop my two Divine Beasts, and all the blood that girds Orion begins to bubble as it expands, reforming his body in seconds.

The same happens with Layla; the holes in her body fill with colored energy, materializing once again as the missing parts of her body.

Their injuries have healed, but it’s still far from over. I can feel the various actors being sent toward us, as well as my other Divine Beasts providing cover as best they can while I treat them.

Unaware of the others’ states, I clap my palms, spreading the red flames to the surrounding area. This way, the others, who must also be injured, can recover, as only they will be affected by these red flames.

With this resolved, I feel my Familiars transferring fragments of their memories about what happened after I disappeared into the miasma.

I saw the thing emerge from the miasma, I saw the Avatar of Hatred transform as its Entity took over its body, I saw the Twins also assume their Avatars, I saw Niryna appear and fight Hatred, retrieving the book at her waist, I saw the woman who emerged from the statuette transform into a kind of rotting zombie before Hatred dissolved her Avatar into energy that was quickly absorbed by that rotting creature.

I saw all of this, as well as the cracks and fissures that appeared. All of this flashed through my mind in a matter of seconds. All of this was still happening, and when I looked around, I saw the two battles ravaging the universe that was already shattering around us.

The Twins and Urd were struggling to contain that thing with its hands. For some reason, I felt a horrible sensation just looking at that aberration.

Looking at the second battle, it was easy to see that it wasn’t Niryna; her body had been taken over once more. It was Callidora’s presence leaving Niryna’s body; it was that disgusting Entity that was there.

I now had two major problems: two battlefields where I couldn’t guarantee my safety, but I also couldn’t avoid going.

It was clear that Callidora was being suppressed in the battle. Like the other Entities, she couldn’t use her power and could only rely on Niryna’s power in this universe. The same goes for Hatred, who could only use the power of his Avatar. But it seems Hatred found a way to push the limits of this rule by integrating with what should have been his enemy, which must have meant a price to pay.

I didn’t care about Callidora. If that abomination were destroyed, I’d throw a party to celebrate. Unfortunately, this level of battle is just a risk-free game for the Entities. The only one who’ll be injured and at risk is Niryna, which I can’t allow.

But I can’t help but watch the fight against that creature with its many hands. It was clear it was escaping its restraints. It was clear the Twins and Urd weren’t a match for that thing, given their very serious expressions.

I didn’t know which fight to engage in, I didn’t know what to do. This time, I was torn. I couldn’t be in two places at once, and I was far from full health. Paradox took half my health to steal that thing.

“Master, they’re coming!” (Nix)

“There are many!” (Ragnar)

Ragnar and Nix, with their large bodies, stand beside me as I return to my Dragon form. Many things were going on in my mind, but I couldn’t stay idle for long. The armored creatures emanating the power of Hatred were also converging here.

“(Paradox, could you help me?)” (me)

“(No.)” (Paradox)

“(Paradox!!!)” (me)

“…” (me)

I was furious. She responded decisively and cut the connection. I can’t feel her. It seems I can’t count on her and I’ll have to do things myself.

“Freya, help Callidora with Tarzor!” (me)

“I’ll help the Twins and Urd deal with that thing!” (me)

If I couldn’t do it alone, then I just needed to bring more people. Tarzor will be limited in his actions, he won’t be able to use his real body, but Freya still has her Avatar, Luci.

“< Chaotic Eclipse Technique: Universal Avatar >” (me)

I raise my hand, spreading my blood like a cloud spreading in a storm, soon surrounding all these armored knight-like creatures. My blood settled on their bodies while charging the power of the Concept, already speaking magic circles and runes.

The technique I was using was a sacrificial one; I was using an extra 10% of my power for it, and soon they were all emitted by Starfire, their bodies melting as the power of Hatred within them condensed outward, forming spheres that were quickly sealed by the fire.

My shadow extended, devouring them all, and soon a shadow similar to me appeared, but on its head were branch-like horns, ethereal hair, and serpentine eyes.

This was Tarzor; in truth, it was just a puppet for him, something similar to a very improvised vessel I hastily constructed. It probably won’t last more than a few hours, which I hope will be enough.

Beside Tarzor, who was using my appearance, a woman appeared, already emitting the profound presence of nature. It was Luci, who was already embodying Freya.

They both possessed a universal presence, and their Auras were surprisingly stabilizing the Universal collapse. I could sense it, and they must have sensed it too.

“Forget it, go to Callidora!” (me)

“(I never have time for anything!!)” (me)
