"That's why he gave us ti... he wants to be stopped before he completely loses control." (Luci)
"..." ()
At that mont, I stopped listening to everything, sothing was on my mind after hearing everything about the origin of the Anomalous Dragons, especially this Sarazar.
"(How did this Sarazar get the Anomalous Cores?)" ()
"(He also managed to get the strongest Dragon robot.)" ()
"(He was the first to start his transformation into an Anomalous Dragon.)" ()
"(But he was the last to lose his mind? Sothing doesn't make sense.)" ()
Sarazar was a bigger mystery than imagined, he accomplished things that can't be achieved by sheer willpower.
I've been inside Arsan's Soul and that's why I know more than everyone else here, I can even understand the change in personality that Luci spoke of.
Their Anomalous power doesn't just decompose the Dragons, it decomposes their bodies, their energy and their Souls, which leads to grafting parts of the body, power and Soul of those they devour to heal the continuous damage their powers cause.
There are many things that willpower can accomplish, it helps to overco limits, it helps to achieve the impossible, but it also has its limitations.
Willpower is like a stone withstanding the force of a river, it can help to resist, but it can't transform anything, the Souls of the Anomalous Dragons can't stop decomposing due to their powers that are also the cause of continuing to heal this damage, there is no way to stop this as long as they are Anomalous Dragons.
This Sarazar guy shouldn't have been able to keep his mind so clear, at this point his Soul should have been as replaced as the other Anomalous Dragons, so how can he maintain his consciousness even now?
"(But other than that...)" ()
Even if I ignore those issues, his Soul and body fighting like Luci told is also strange, there are many inconsistencies in all of this.
"One thing is for sure, we need to stop him, but where is he?" ()
"In a nest, the sa one Arsan was in, I know where he is." (Luci)
"What is his condition? We need to know before we fight." (Lolth)
"From what I saw, his body and Soul are separated, most likely his body is still coming out of the seal while his Soul is already free, his power is divided at this mont, but if the two join together again just his presence will be enough to destroy the universe." (Luci)
"That should be easy, if he wants to be stopped, then he won't fight us, if we destroy his Soul..." (Adella)
"That won't work." (Akatosh)
"It's going to be a three-front fight..." ()
"..." (Arash)
"We can't miss this chance, I won't let that thing loose in my house!" (Lolth)
Adella is naive when it cos to this kind of situation, she doesn't understand Souls very well, maybe it's because she was a Blood Goddess in her universe or maybe it's because she never studied about Souls, but her thoughts are very superficial.
Souls are made to protect an Existence, to contain it inside, a container for emotions, consciousness, powers and Will.
A Soul was made to resist, the more powerful the Soul, the more its instinct to preserve itself, that's why techniques to control Souls are so difficult.
As much as he wants to be stopped, he won't give himself up on a silver platter, he will fight and resist, his body if it is not being controlled by his conscience will be even worse, it will be similar to a bloodthirsty monster.
"The two of you fighting together may be able to hold his body, but his Soul cannot be hurt." (Luci)
"At least not with your powers, even the boy's Chaos power may not be effective as Sarazar's Soul is special." (Luci)

Pov Niryna:
After everyone returned from the battle, I was taken inside Tarzor, it was Callidora's decision and I followed since it was nothing major, but as soon as I got inside, she took towards Freya for so reason.
"Why did you co to see Callidora?" (Freya)
"I want one of your branches and in exchange, I will release a Fragnt of the universe that is still alive, containing 5 Galaxies with a large number of living creatures ranging from plants, monsters and people." (Callidora)
"..." ()
"..." (Freya)
I was surprised by what I heard, I imagined it was sothing important, but I didn't imagine it was sothing like that, I didn't imagine that she would talk about such a large part of a universe like that with a smile on her face.
"Niryna, what does she want?" (Freya)
"I don't know..." ()
"Hahaha... what I want is one of your branches." (Callidora)
"Don't worry, it's not for anything you consider bad." (Callidora)
"I need to consult my..." (Freya)
"..." (Freya)
Before Freya could finish speaking, her expression changed from confused and cautious to one of astonishnt before turning to Callidora once again who was already laughing.
"Hahahaha... hahahahaahahaha..." (Callidora)
Her smile is widening once more as her mouth tears at the sides and her eyes darken until there is nothing left but 2 pits of pure darkness.
"I know she accepted, she has always been smart and must have guessed what I am going to do." (Callidora)
"Give a twig, since it is small it does not matter." (Callidora)
"..." (Freya)
"Will it harm Zenos or any of the others on our side?" (Freya)
"Are you an idiot? Zenos is too much fun as it is and there's no point in wasting my ti with these Dragons." (Callidora)
"(So she's trying to deal with the Anomalous Dragons?)" ()
"(That reminds of the trip we made before the battle, she wanted to get sothing from there, does this have anything to do with what she wanted before?)" ()
"Give the branch." (Callidora)
------------------
Pov Zenos:
2 hours later.
I was inside Tarzor with the Entities of Life and Death in front of , after the eting where the origins of the Anomalous Dragons were revealed, everyone went to prepare for battle while I ca to look for sothing else.
"Will this work?" ()
"Yes, but only if you're able to endure it." (Kalistos)
"It would be safer if it were you." ()
"We can't interfere yet, knowledge about us hasn't spread and that's good, we need ti to defend ourselves." (Kalistos)
"Don't forget what you promised." (Mavis)
"I always keep my promises." ()
"Don't forget that your Soul hasn't fully recovered." (Mavis)
"I'll be careful." ()
Saying that, I turn around, crossing the space and erging from a shadow near Karina, Samara, Silvia and Magnus who were waiting for .
"Is everyone ready?" ()
"No, Lolth disappeared and so did Niryna." (Samara)
"Lolth seems to have gone to get sothing, her daughter said she was furious while talking about a weapon she didn't want to use." (Magnus)
"Niryna had gone to et Freya while Luci was telling her about the Anomalous Dragons, it seems that Callidora is planning sothing." (Silvia)
"She's always planning sothing." (Samara)
"Leave her to her sches, I know Niryna wouldn't do anything bad to any of us, my concern is with Lolth." ()
"What do we do?" (Karina)
"Continue with the plan, where is Luci?" ()
"She's being watched by Myu and Arash, she's just standing there ditating while she waits for us." (Karina)
"Then let's go." ()
This battle is going to be a ss in a closed space, we have to fend off the Anomalous Dragons while those stronger on our side will focus on Sarazar, this is going to be a ss.
I look at my hand, the black marks still danced around my arm as the power of death writhed beneath my skin, the pain was bearable for now.
"(I need this to work...)" ()
"(I might have to use that power, but I haven't had ti to test it yet.)" ()
---------------------
Pov Luci:
I've done a lot for this day, I've made many sacrifices, but I can't lose them too, I can't lose you two.
That day I still rember how Arsan ca to talk to and Sarazar, his face was pale and his eyes sunken from the exhaustion of days without sleep.
When he started talking about the Dragon Hunter Project it was as if part of him was dying with each word.
"(I don't know... I don't know if I can...)" (Arsan)
"(You got the approval, didn't you...?)" (Luci)
"(Yes, they were watching while they were doing my research... I didn't even say anything... the approval just landed on my desk today...)" (Arsan)
"(While I was researching it was just theoretical... I was desperate, the ti for our deaths is already counting! Damn you!)" (Arsan)
"(We have no choice, if you refuse, they'll find soone else who knows less than you and this really seems like our best chance.)" (Sarazar)
"(Desecrating the bodies of those who died for us! I didn't even realize how much... how much I was humiliating those who died...)" (Arsan)
"(Arsan, we have no choice, every day the cracks grow bigger and the creatures seem to have no end, entire worlds are disappearing... we need any help we can get.)" ()
"(What's the point? do all this! If I'm right in my calculations, then we don't have any power source remotely close to making the project work!!)" (Arsan)
"(You've done enough, I'll find a way... Luci, keep an eye on him.)" (Sarazar)
A desperate situation leads to desperate asures, that was our excuse, but maybe death would have been better than the life we had.
I open my eyes seeing my watchers watching my every move, so of them with eyes full of murderous intent.
"...." ()
"(This is our last chance...)" ()
