Niryna's POV:
During most of the battle I was being protected and I had little combat experience, always 1 on 1.
I had few opportunities to face a real challenge, I was also not a target for many of them, but I could not understand why most seed to avoid confronting .
Even though the battle lasted for hours and there were many deaths, I did not feel like I had truly fought, it seed more like I had gone through a practical test after my training.
When everyone was exhausted with everyone treating their injuries as well as helping those who were most injured, it was at that mont that Samira and Hades opened a portal that they stabilized using so fingers that they tore off, I had never seen a portal that needed a body part like that, with the exception of Hell.
In the end, many advanced to see the master as well as the other Gods, those who stayed behind were responsible for treating the most injured and those volunteered to help.
I don't have any healing skills, none of my Demons know anything about healing, so I didn't hesitate to enter that place.
As soon as I entered I felt a colossal pressure on , it was scary and seeing how everything around was absurdly large.
I didn't know where to go, but suddenly I felt a hand on my shoulder and before I knew it I was already facing a massive mountain that took a few seconds to realize was Zenos' body.
I tried to fly, but it seed like this place was trying to suppress and it only stopped when, encouraged by Callidora, I put on a sacred item carrying a blessing from Zenos.
When I tried to fly again I saw Énos writhing in clear agony, the shock waves traveling out of his body and that red vapor are really bad, I know that just by looking.
"He really is an idiot..." (Callidora)
"What is he doing?" ()
"You don't need to know." (Callidora)
After a while we found the others having a discussion, even with the Gods, but it didn't seem like Callidora was telling everything.
In the end everyone could only continue watching him, but even though he was clearly in agony, he didn't scream once.
"What should we do now, Baldr escaped." ()
"This problem is simple, we just need to wait for this idiot to wake up or be forced to wake up." (Callidora)
-----------------
Zenos' Pov:
Right after the enemies retreated I could already feel the consequences of having used the 4th sword technique, I didn't want to use it exactly because I understood these consequences.
My blood was heating up inside my veins and this was a serious problem especially since there shouldn't be any blood inside my body.
The blood I was feeling was just blood energy, acting on those I deactivated this sword technique all the blood had already evaporated from the sword, there was no such thing as recovering the blood I had spent.
In fact I was already feeling a reaction from the universe, my Divine Weapon returned to my body, but it was not alone, I could feel traces of the power of Life and Death, this ti it was even clearer than during training, but the truth was even more than I expected.
It was at this mont that I could no longer control my mind and body, I tried to instill my mind into my Will with mixed results as the suffering only increased.
Universal Blood was not a na I gave lightly, it was sothing that represented the technique in its most fundantal concept, but it ca with 2 problems that I discovered during training.
I was invading the realms of other Gods such as Life and Death, I was breaking Taboos in ways that would be impossible without the help of the Power of Chaos, but I am still committing Taboos.
Touching the power of Life
Touching the power of Death
Wounding the Universe itself
These traces of the Power of Life and Death are punishnts, they were not produced by , they were sent by the Universe itself to punish using the sa power that I dared to touch.
The level of agony and tornt could not be described, my body was being ravaged to the point where I could not heal myself and I would not die, even my Soul was being tornted to the point where it would not collapse.
Even so I decided to continue with what I had decided during training, I would use the power of the Law to refine these two energies into my Divine Weapon.
But I couldn't concentrate, ti seed slow while only the pain was uninterrupted, my definition of ti seed more than just confused while all I felt was this tornt.
But it was at that mont that I began to draw the power of the Law within Tarzor, tree branches coming out of him as it penetrated my body being the dium through which this power of the Law flows to .
As I was preparing to begin, I suddenly found myself standing between the Purple Sun and the Shattered Moon in the sky, in front of two won with frightening looks, one wearing white and the other wearing black, both covering their faces.
"Goddess Mavis... Goddess Kalistos..." ()
When I looked at the two Goddesses I felt an instinctive fear, I couldn't feel any Aura or presence.
They had been looking at all this ti, but it seed like ti was not well defined here, I felt as if that brief mont when I saw the two of them had lasted hundreds of years, the pressure of their gaze was an endless tornt trapped within .
"You are not here with your Soul or body, only your will exists, what you see or hear are just representations that we create." (Mavis)
"Your boldness is admirable, I have never t soone who searches for with such fervor." (Kalistos)
As they spoke, I was getting closer not because I wanted to, it seed like I was being pulled continuously until I was facing them.
I could not see any of their expressions, but I felt their eyes judging my every action, all this ti I had not looked at myself yet, when I did I realized that I was a disembodied Dragon silhouette.
"I will not go around the subject too much, you know what you are doing, so tell , why shouldn't we kill you now?" (Mavis)
"My mother also has access to the power of Life and Death." ()
"Your mother has this ability and achieved it through rit, she didn't take detours like you." (Kalistos)
"..." ()
"Because you are young, your lack of knowledge can be overlooked, but the warning and punishnt were delivered several tis without us sending a Taboo Hunter." (Mavis)
"But you didn't try to grasp the power of the Essence, but instead tried to restrict it in Laws." (Kalistos)
"I needed sothing to use against the Ascendants and the Anomalous Dragons." ()
"Your audacity to still try to argue is worthless to us." (Kalistos)
"As I said before, you don't have the ability to understand our power, much less use it." (Mavis)
"You possess the power of chaos, child... your power is incompatible with ours, you exist among us and will always be so." (Mavis)
"You cannot create or destroy anything, you are only a transforr, you change, evolve, alter and distort all creation." (Kalistos)
"Do not try to act beyond your capabilities, do not invent reasons for it again or try to argue against us." (Mavis)
"We may be Goddesses here, but this is nothing more than one of several facets of our core aspect." (Kalistos)
"There is no creature in existence that can understand or use our power to its fullest, which forces us to embody these facets with different consciousnesses." (Mavis)
"If I do not have the power to create a nature circle, I cannot use my full power." ()
"Your 4th sword strike can still be used, but you will pay a corresponding price." (Kalistos)
"I do not mind a little pain, I have been through worse in the past, but I still need a power comparable to the Nature Circle." ()
Suddenly I felt a force passing through and soon another joined in, devastating hands that were more than just my Soul, even so I didn't scream, my Will is incapable of that.
"It seems you don't understand, we are being kind in showing your inability to use our power and nothing you do or say will change that." (Mavis)
"To use Tarzor's power I need that kind of power, I know I'm being stupid and insistent, I also know that I may not be able to, but without that power how can I fight what is to co!?" ()
"If you are part of a greater whole as you say, if you are such intrinsic aspects of creation as you claim, then you know the System and know what it did." ()
"..." (Mavis)
"..." (Kalistos)
"I was manipulated regarding the changes that happened in Tarzor and I was also being prepared for sothing, this was sothing I suspected since before I beca a God and that now I am certain." ()
"If you're going to do things like this, then it should be possible to help a little, getting stronger is in your best interest at the very least." ()
"That doesn't matter, your incapacity is related to the power that makes up your core, not sothing we did." (Kalistos)
"But it's not impossible to co up with a rough solution..." (Mavis)
