Pov Alice:
In front of is a person who has not yet been completely converted into one of those things, if it is possible to save this person I would be happy to help, but that is not our current focus, what we really want to know is to understand how this transformation happens.
This person was a woman, more than 70% of her body is covered by an armor that grows directly from her body, the little that is on her forehead is part of her hair, one of her eyes and an arm along with a little of the side of her body, even so the energy that emanates from her seems to try to continue the transformation.
"Any idea how this works?" ()
"Yes, it seems that my previous thought process was close to the truth, before I assud that the transformation consisted of 2 processes acting in sequence, that is because we were only able to study those who finished their transformations." (Nicole)
"Those would be the process of Soul transformation and the process of body transformation." (Nicole)
"Yes, I rember talking about this and how I didn't know the order in which they happened, so be objective." ()
"Now we know that the Soul Transformation process is the first while the body transformation process would be the last." (Nicole)
"Among them, there is a third process that can only be observed during the transformation, this would be the process of destruction of the mind." (Nicole)
"Not only is the physical mind destroyed, the consciousness itself is destroyed before being replaced by another consciousness, new mories and even instigates aggressive emotions through these consciousnesses." (Nicole)
"I don't care about that, I just need to know if there is a way to undo the transformations or at least prevent them." ()
Sigh
"Just be direct and answer." ()
"No, there is no way to undo these transformations or prevent them." (Nicole)
"Then all this research was useless!" ()
"No, I actually found out a few things..." (Nicole)
"..." ()
"< Blood Magic: Blood Blade >" ()
I didn't even continue thinking, I just walked up to the woman trapped by a Divine Curse and raised my hand where the blood leaves my body taking the form of a curved sword blade that descends along with my hand towards her head, but before it could hit it collides with red wings.
"What are you doing, Vanessa?" ()
"I'm stopping you from doing sothing you'll regret later." (Vanessa)
"I understand that you're upset about what happened to the statue." (Vanessa)
"Killing them would be rcy, so why not do it?" ()
"I feel sorry for her as well as the others, but they're still useful to Nicole, so hold on." (Vanessa)
"Tch..." ()
I turn to leave, I know I'm irritated, I understand that I may be taking out this anger and agony on those closest to , but I can't deny the concern inside .
It was at that mont that soone ca flying in at high speed, crashing into a wall and destroying several of Nicole's equipnt along the way, it was none other than Ragnar, on his shoulder there was a spear of light stuck while burn marks were everywhere, he was breathing with difficulty and his Aura was excessively weak, injuries all over his body and he clearly couldn't stand up.
"Baldr... Baldr is back..." (Ragnar)
"..." (Ragnar)
"< Divine Magic: Moon Nourishnt >" ()
"< Divine Magic: Liquid of Life >" (Vanessa)
I create a magic circle on the ceiling using Divine Power, this magic circle activates causing the space to distort into an image of a night sky with a large Fragnted Moon emanating Vitality.
Vanessa in turn opens her hand letting the blood flow out turning golden before entering Ragnar's body.
"Nicole call everyone now!" ()
"I'm already doing that and I'm also tracking where Ragnar ca from." (Nicole)
I was slightly terrified not by the ntion of Baldr being back, but by Ragnar's state, I've never seen him so injured before.
"(Master Zenos, please... co back soon...)" ()
------------------
Pov Zenos:
We were all now sitting around a sphere of fire while sitting on sofas made of branches and leaves.
Freya was sitting next to while the twins were sharing the sa sofa on the other side of the sphere of fire, Hinata in turn was lying on top of my head in the form of a White Serpent.
"A na doesn't an that much." (Kalistos)
"They don't an that for Entities as colossal as Life and Death, but for individual Entities like us who even have a physical body, nas represent us as individuals." (Mavis)
"Yes, but can't we just follow the course of events?" (Kalistos)
"I rember that in the past the nas Kalistos and Mavis were given to us before the first civilization where we... I an, where the Fragnts of Life and Death descended as Goddesses." (Kalistos)
"Yes, I rember that, but back then and even now, the Goddesses of Life and Death are just parts or fragnts, not separate individuals like us." (Mavis)
"We are unique, we have freedom of thought, freedom of action, freedom to feel emotions, freedom to do whatever we want... we also have our own individual consciousness and Soul as well as the Spark of Existence." (Mavis)
"I see... as individuals, we are using the na given to collective beings that are in essence parts of sothing else, this gives another perspective, thank you." (Kalistos)
"Aren't you two taking this na thing too seriously?" ()
"In the end, the na only serves to introduce yourself to others, the sa na will have different weights depending on who uses it, this is because the important thing is not the na itself, but the one who possesses it." ()
"Your actions, identities and everything that makes up the two of you will give importance to these nas, not the other way around." ()
"I must agree, but not only that, you shouldn't choose a na." (Freya)
"Should we do it like in the past?" (Kalistos)
"Be given our nas naturally by others? That's a valid option, but you're not talking about that... right, Freya?" (Mavis)
"No, what I'm saying is that unlike the Goddesses of Life and Death or their higher counterparts, you both have a family that gave birth to you." (Freya)
"I don't know how it is in other universes, but in ours, it's usually the parents who na their children." (Freya)
"..." ()
"(Did you really need to put that burden on ...?)" ()
"..." (Kalistos/Mavis)
Freya's eyes turn to and the twins' eyes follow her until they stop on , Mavis's eyes are heavy while Kalistos's eyes are cold, for so reason just having their mutual attention focused on in this way seems to reach my Soul making the pain I was enduring increase a little more.
"Certainly in the vast majority of large civilizations throughout creation, the custom of the Father or Mother being responsible for granting the na of the children exists, a truly ancient custom." (Mavis)
"But being nad by him..." (Kalistos)
"I didn't like how that was said, as far as I know I didn't do anything wrong." ()
"I can't even asure what our existences might an, our existence itself is an unknown to the future of all creation." (Mavis)
"Our existence in itself is neither good nor bad, but the ripples caused by our actions must have already begun to cause so errors throughout creation." (Kalistos)
"You committed a reckless and irresponsible act, it doesn't matter if it was an accident or on purpose, the act itself was committed by you in an undeniable fact." (Mavis)
"Is this so kind of judgnt... are they blaming for sothing...?" ()
"I'm blaming..." (Kalistos)
"I'm just highlighting a fact." (Mavis)
"..." ()
For so reason I don't feel very comfortable continuing here, but I can't run away like this either, whether their na is chosen by or not is of little importance, what I really need is to be present in the choice of the na precisely because it is my responsibility.
"There's no point in going around the sa topic, everyone must have reached an agreent, right?" (Freya)
"Yes!" (Mavis/Kalistos)
"Did we reach an agreent? I didn't see that." ()
"..." (everyone)
"What?" ()
"..." (everyone)
"Wait, do you want to give the na now?" ()
Everyone just stares at in silence as if the answers were obvious, but for it was sothing that could not be decided in a hurry like that, they were the nas of two Entities that represent Life and Death, it cannot be chosen so abruptly.
"..." (everyone)
"Stop looking at like that, okay, okay... I'll choose a na..." ()
"Na...?" (Hinata)
"You already have a na, so don't co with that." ()
"I want cake..." (Hinata)
"..." ()
She says what she wants and then goes to sleep, while I have to rack my brains thinking of nas and end up getting into that old habit of choosing sothing familiar.
"(I already know for Mavis... but Kalistos...)" ()

Pov Luci:
"Madam! MADMA!!!" (Nóros)
"..." ()
"Madam, I'm glad you woke up, what happened to..." (Nóros)
"Take away from here..." ()
I was being carried in the arms of Nóros in his Human form, as he was only half Anomalous Dragon thanks to my intervention in the past, he is the only one with this transformation ability, it also seems that he was not affected like the other Anomalous Dragons by what was done to Sarazar.
"(Were they ready, did they know I was coming or were they just waiting for soone...?)" ()
I look at my state, my body is collapsing and my Soul has been Cursed with Death, the pain is almost as overwhelming as that ti I got that eye.
I touch Nóros' forehead with the stump of my arm since I lost my hands, then I transfer coordinates along with a location mark.
"How did you... find ...?" ()
"Our contact between the Ascendants, I was with her exchanging information as requested when she told what had happened." (Nóros)
"For so reason she had a big smile on her face and made sure to help, it seems she wasn't alone either." (Nóros)
"(So there was more than one traitor among the Ascendants... is this part of Zenos's plans...?)" ()
"(No... he's too young to have done sothing on that scale... it would take much longer than he has left to live...)" ()
"(So he must be following soone else's plan or... there are 2 different plans in action against the Ascendants...)" ()
I look around, the environnt around us had a weak natural energy and didn't seem to have much Reality Power, this must be a separate space.
"You have to... hurry..." ()
Cough Cough!!!
I touch the necklace on my neck, I can feel that it can barely contain the Anomalous Armor, it's consuming almost all the energy I have just to maintain it, not to ntion that they won't stop chasing.
My mind was in turmoil and it was getting darker and darker, keeping my eyes open was difficult, but even so I took out an eye-shaped jewel from my storage that floats in front of Nóros.
"Use this... look for Zenos and... and you will find the Twins... be quick..." ()
"Lady! Don't sleep, don't close your eyes please! What have you done!?" (Nóros)
"I did my duty...!" ()
Even losing consciousness I couldn't help but smile for fulfilling my promise, with this they won't reach the fifth level of the Ascendants, now Sarazar and Arsan are safe, what happens to doesn't matter anymore.
"Lady Luci!!!" (Nóros)
