Will of chaos

Chapter 2022: Cap 2012 (Revised): Welcome… daughter…

Pov Xerxes:

I was walking through the corridors of the Temple of Urd, but I had nowhere to go. I just couldn’t stay still, I couldn’t do nothing, so I spent my time wandering aimlessly while trying to organize my memories.

The most important memories were at the beginning and the end, so those were the first ones I managed to assemble on the first day, but the others needed to be consciously worked on to complete the whole picture.

“So you finally came?” (me)

I suddenly stopped walking when I turned to a specific door, then walked to it and opened the door, entering what looked like a dome where constellations lit up on the ceiling while on the floor there was a bar where only a young woman was serving two glasses of a thick, sweet drink.

I walked over to her and sat beside her. Her aura was cold, and she didn’t speak to me either. The one who wanted to talk to me was the one who emerged from behind the young woman with a translucent miniature body.

“Paradox, how is your memory?” (Callidora)

“Perfect.” (me)

“Why lie when I can see the truth?” (Callidora)

“Because it’s funny.” (me)

“Lies.” (Callidora)

“You still distrust me? After everything I did to bring you back?” (Callidora)

“Don’t play the victim with me, I’m older than you and I know you better than anyone else.” (me)

“Then why are you still doing nothing!” (Callidora)

“They’ve tried to invade my domain 8 times in the last century!” (Callidora)

“I’m not strong enough to help you, besides, Zenos will soon awaken as the new Entity of Chaos, the decision rests with him.” (Me)

“You didn’t do anything for me either, you did it for yourself as always, I saw everything, Callidora…” (Me)

“Make him hurry up, it’s getting hard to control my instincts, take care of them before I decide to become active again!” (Callidora)

“He’s already hurrying, just wait…” (Me)

“(Come on…!)” (Zenos)

“It seems he’s finally made a definitive decision.” (Me)

“One piece of advice, don’t interfere this time…” (Me)

Saying this, I leave, this time walking deeper into the Temple of Urd where Zenos was calling.

——————–

4 hours later.

“Can’t you reconsider?” (Ronan)

“No, even if my wives are in favor… I can’t…” (me)

“I met Barerosa when she was still an Ascendant, and as much as I appreciate her desire for me and am willing to get to know her better, the matter at hand is a degree of intimacy that doesn’t correspond between us for now.” (me)

“You’re not thinking about the benefits… even your wives have accepted it, and Barerosa’s love for you is very real.” (Ronan)

“There will be other opportunities, not to mention that my wives can weigh heavily in my decisions, but they don’t make the decision alone on this matter; it must be a consensus among all of us, including me.” (me)

“Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have a birth to attend to.” (I)

I turn around and space folds around me, Tarzor takes me to the galactic Ritual Circle that Freya has been modifying along with the Twins, a Ritual of absurd scale that will use a massive amount of divine power and the power of the Concept, even Tarzor needed to prepare a high concentration of all types of energy he has access to, just to be safe.

In the star system located right in the middle of the Ritual was that incubator that Hatred had prepared, but this time it no longer looked like a Black Sun, it looked more like a flaming symbol of Yin and Yang.

I was facing this thing when Freya approached, she was tired, but with a smile on her face.

“We are all ready, each of them has finished nourishing their Anomalous eggs or fetuses, I have also finished nourishing my seed.” (Freya)

“Where are they all?” (me)

“In their positions in various star systems at different points of the Ritual, the Twins are on that and that planet, they are positioned below and above the incubator.” (Freya)

“You just need to start everything by placing the Soul inside and inserting your power to initiate, the Twins will do the operation and I will control all the energy flow.” (Freya)

“…” (me)

My hand was trembling, not from fear or anything like that, it was doubt about whether I was doing the right thing. I could do this with any other Soul; it didn’t have to be that woman’s Soul, it didn’t need to be a Soul prepared by Callidora, and it could even be a Soul cleansed of its previous lives.

“You talked to her for 3 hours… do you still want to go through with this?” (me)

“I know Kira especially…” (me)

“Shhh!” (Freya)

Kiss

Freya interrupts my speech, placing a finger on my lips before bringing her face close to mine, to a passionate chest. I hold her by the waist and she wraps her arms around my neck. We surrender to that brief moment of intimacy that helped calm my worries.

“It’s okay, everyone liked her, Kira especially saw herself in her, in how she was before she met you.” (Freya)

“She’s not perfect, she also did something terrible in the past, but her love for you is true, in fact it may be the only thing that still makes her resist, a normal mortal soul could never hold on in the presence of so many deities.” (Freya)

“…” (me)

“You know that too, or you wouldn’t be giving her a chance, so stop doubting.” (Freya)

“Right…” (me)

“Call her, I’ll go back to my place.” (Freya)

Freya floats, being swallowed by space and carried to another place while I approached the incubator until all in my vision were those white and black flames.

“< Come >” (me)

Extending a hand that crosses space, then pulling back, bringing the coffin where Hana was sitting, looking at me with surprise before her eyes wandered through the strange universe around her.

“Are you ready?” (me)

“Yes!” (Hana)

She speaks cheerfully, but in my mind it was as if there was still a whisper telling me not to trust her, not to get close to her and things like that, but I know very well that these are mere prejudices I have of her because of everything I’ve been through because of her, I have to let that go somehow.

“< Authority of Chaos: Awakening of the Eclipse >” (me)

I take a Dragon Seal made from my own Blood and using my Concept to initiate the process of her Soul absorbing the Dragon Seal.

With a wave of my hand, the Soul, which was emitting ever-increasing pressure, is launched into the two-colored flames, her Soul pulled to the center where it disappears. The two flames then begin to move, spinning around each other, the absurd presence of the flames suddenly emerging with a horrible pressure.

I immediately felt a connection to the entire ritual and sensed what I must do, so I began to unleash vast amounts of power and use my Concept of Chaos.

It was at this moment that suddenly rays of light, carrying the concentrated power of my wives along with their blood, came from all directions, penetrating the incubator, which swelled six times in size, its light becoming 60 times more intense.

I felt the presence of my wives diminishing, then suddenly the entire ritual vibrated, shrinking to half its size all at once, compressing all the accumulated power to the center.

In a few minutes, everything was as planned for the first time in a long time; all that remained of the ritual was the flaming sphere of two colors that seemed to be continuously refining the soul of that woman, who finally began to release those foul energies of Hell.

“Now… I just need to wait…” (me)

I saw the sphere being enveloped by the two Concepts of Death’s legacy, nourishing the Soul as well as the new body and the evolution of a perfect rebirth achieved through a massive Will.

I can feel their Concepts working in conjunction with my own Concept of Chaos, which perfects their work, thus increasing the efficiency of the Ritual.

I could feel her body forming, I could feel Lena interfering with the aesthetic form of the body. I didn’t understand the reason for all this, but it didn’t matter as long as it could be born well.

Soon my wives approached me in silence, their eyes and perception all fixed on the incubator in front of us.

It was clear that they were in the final stages and, as I predicted, the incubator began to darken, all its light being sucked inside where the beautiful silhouette of a young woman was formed.

It didn’t take long for all the light to be sucked into the incubator, which then revealed the Twins making dozens of hand symbols.

Even that didn’t last more than a few moments; soon all that remained between the Twins was a new young woman. Her body was covered in a dark aura, and only her eyes were visible—eyes with pure white irises amidst the darkness of the rest of her eyes. It was an interesting combination to see.

My wives quickly surrounded her, wanting to see or interact with her. Now I can feel the blood ties with all of them, that concludes me, but there’s still something left for me to say, even if through clenched teeth.

“Welcome… daughter…” (me)
