Pov Urak:
I saw them leaving, we lost 2 of our Universal Golems, but I couldn't help but smile at their naivety.
"How was the preparation?" ()
"..." (???)
Suddenly I realize that the Ascendant who beca my new assistant wasn't responding, but as soon as I turned my face I saw that his body had beco ethereal, his hair had beco long as it swayed in winds that didn't exist, his eyes were completely golden and his presence had an Ascendant Law that I hate.
"Why are you here?" ()
"I ca to warn you that all of this won't work." (???)
"You have no say or choice in our affairs." ()
"If I want, I can finish you and the others right now." (???)
"I see, you went to et him, you were waiting for the Chaos Bringer all this ti." ()
"You have all beco blind in your arrogance, listen to my words and follow what I say, then perhaps the Ascended can still exist in the end." (???)
"You underestimate us, do not forget that your existence is because of us, our power ca from our efforts, failure was never an option for any of us." ()
"No matter how far you ascend, your vision is as limited as a mortal's, you do not understand what cos next or..." (???)
"..." ()
She seed to be about to say sothing as always, but I turned my face away knowing that she will not finish her words, she never finishes, only Vecna still listens to her on the rare occasions when she decides to show herself.
"You never say anything useful, if you are done, then go away, I have a God to pursue." ()
"You are abominable to us, unfortunately we have to accept your presence, but you have no right to interfere in our affairs." ()
As soon as my new assistant's body returns to normal, no longer ethereal and with his hair becoming short again, I wave for soone to pick him up after he falls to the ground unconscious, his mind was too weak to handle that.
"We've co this far on our own and we'll go even further on our own..." ()
--------------------
Pov Zenos:
It's been 3 days since we left the Ascendants behind, my body has beco more stable and my Soul has returned to normal, unfortunately my mind is still overloaded having to deal with several things at the sa ti.
"Why can't you assimilate this?" ()
"The one I was able to refine with the Starfire was of great help, the energy I absorbed before letting it explode helped grow my body by 10%." (Tarzor)
"But I can't absorb a universe, even a dead one without Freya's help, I haven't even finished assimilating the parts of the Guardian Kings' universe from before." (Tarzor)
"Can't you just refine it with Starfire one more ti?" ()
"No, I'm almost at my current limit, if I overdo it, the dinsional mbrane as well as my Reality Power will beco unstable." (Tarzor)
"Then what will I do with that thing? It can't stay attached to you forever." ()
"I'll think about what to do about it, focus on other matters." (Tarzor)
Tarzor's presence stops focusing on as I return to sitting on one of the branches in Freya's tree, soon she leaves the tree and sits next to .
"How do you feel?" ()
"I feel better, but stabilizing Tarzor is proving difficult, not to ntion part of my power and attention focused on Luci." (Freya)
She and I looked down, the cocoon of light and energy where they were transford yesterday, now it seems that this light and energy have taken the form of leaves around her, emanating even more the presence of nature.
"What's happening to her?" ()
"Honestly, I don't know... I answered her call, but her transformation is decided by her Will, she used her Star Path to co to and that's why she ended up like this... I have no control over what's happening." (Freya)
"Do you at least know how long it will take?" ()
"I don't know..." (Freya)
Without knowing what was happening to her, there was nothing left to do but wait, but when I was about to deal with other issues, Tarzor reached through our connection and showed what he was seeing with his eyes.
There were 10 creatures chasing him, each of them were Anomalous Creatures and theirs was due to the power they were emanating, five of them were birds made of pure Reality Power, their bodies were half the size of Tarzor, 2 of them looked like giants, their bodies were completely dark and only a large orb existed on their heads, I have no idea what these things are other than being the size of Tarzor, the great 3 were all different, one of them was a Celestine or perhaps an Ascendant that seed to be made entirely of tal and was the size of a planet being the smallest among them.
The other two were composed of a translucent 6-tailed Wolf, it was the size of a small Star System and its presence seed very similar to that of Tarzor in the past, while the last one was a cluster of Ghosts and Specters emanating a tense energy of death through its body, it had the shape of an orb with a screaming face and its size was the sa as the creature that looks like a wolf, all of them were very strong and were chasing us as a group. "(What should we do, their speed is not inferior to mine, in fact, that Spectral Orb and the tal Celestine are the fastest and will reach in less than 10 hours.)" (Tarzor)
"(They haven't started attacking yet, but I can't confirm that they don't have attacks to cover that distance.)" (Tarzor)
"(Where did they co from!?)" ()
"(I don't know, it was out of nowhere, but I suspect who caused it, look at their bodies.)" (Tarzor)
Tarzor focuses his vision on the foreheads of the creatures or more specific parts of these creatures where there was a Rune surrounded by hundreds of small Runes shining brightly, these were Ascendant Runes.
"(Now we've confird what they wanted to do in our universe, that egg must have been to create another one of those creatures.)" ()
This ti I was really worried, these things appeared out of nowhere, that doesn't make sense unless they were summoned near us, that leaves another possibility, the summoner was close.
"(Be careful, I'll think of sothing.)" ()
When my vision changes again, I see Freya in front of holding my shoulder as she pulls towards the Star Palace.
I appear in the eting hall, there was no table in this place, what there was was a water mirror like a circular pool in the middle.
Soon several portals open around the pool, each one of them in the shape of a tree leaf, in seconds several people pass through these portals being called here by Freya.
These people were the Twins, Akatosh, Arash, Adella, Magnus, Silvia, Samara, Karina, Niryna, Hades and Xagar.
"This is going to be a problem, so I called everyone, I hope you don't mind." (Freya)
"This is actually a great help." ()
Everyone seed confused at having been called so suddenly, so of them were still injured, among them Xagar and Magnus were the most injured by far.
Xagar had his entire body bandaged, a thick vital energy surrounding his entire body while the sll of dicinal herbs emanates from his body filling the entire room.
Magnus on the other hand, already had his wounds closed, but his right arm was immobilized, his tail cut off and covered in scars.
Apart from the two of them, most were injured to so degree with the exception of Akatosh, the Twins and Samara who didn't have a single wound on their bodies.
Everyone looked at the two holidays, especially Xagar before looking at and Freya without knowing the reason for this eting.
Niryna, who was silent, had her hands covered in blood. This blood belongs to the Ascendants and I know this from the traces of the Power of the Law that I feel in this blood. Callidora appears like a ghost, hugging Niryna from behind.
"I'm sure everyone wants to know what's going on, so I'll be direct." ()
"We're being chased again, but it's not Ascendants this ti... it's Anomalous Creatures." ()
"Freya, show them please..." ()
Freya just throws a leaf that falls into the pool in the middle, making a slight ripple that spreads across the pool. Soon, images of Tarzor appear on the water mirror, showing everyone the 10 creatures that are chasing us, as well as Tarzor.
After showing the ten creatures, I wave my hand, creating 10 images that float above the water mirror. They were the Runes that were on the 10 creatures.
"All of these are Anomalous Creatures and have these Runes sowhere on their bodies." ()
"Perhaps not all of you rember or know about what happened several months ago, the ti we faced the Tree of End and the Ascendants." ()
"At that ti we stopped a plan by the Ascendants that had been in motion for centuries to create an Anomalous Creature to destroy our Universe." ()
"Perhaps they wanted to create and control that Anomalous Creature like they did with these 10." ()
"..." (all)
