Pov Valius:
I was sleeping when soone got stuck in my Runic Trap, when I opened my eyes I saw a Man with a lizard head and a body covered in tattooed Runes emanating a Curse power.
"I knew that Evil Gods were not trustworthy..." ()
Sigh
"Arlan, why did you let that idiot get close?" ()
"I wanted to attract the other one who was hiding, I thought he would try to help his companion and that's why I kept pretending to be asleep." (Arlan)
Arlan who was sleeping not far from got up, on each side of him was a mortal woman he conquered yesterday in the nearest city.
"Let's end this..." ()
"< Spiritual Law: Divinity Extraction >" ()
I approach the giant and touch his body, the place I touched begins to glow as a Red Rune forms as it takes root in his body, red veins spread from the Rune pulsing towards the Rune as it seems to extract sothing from the body, soon the red veins spread throughout the body of this lizard head and his body was skeletal as he trembled from weakness.
It took a few minutes for the red Rune to begin to detach from his body while the red veins destroyed his body by freeing themselves as if they were tentacles that soon retracted back into the Rune that decreased in size before attaching itself to my book.
The lizard falls to the ground already dead, his body turning to dust was no longer immobile by my trap due to his death, so I turn to Arlan who was getting dressed.
"It seems that so Evil Gods know about us." ()
"He wanted to use us to get in the good graces of the Gods of this Universe." ()
"Wow, what a simplistic thought." (Arlan)
"Goodbye my dears, it was a wonderful night..." (Arlan)
Kiss Kiss
Arlan kisses each of the won before walking away beside , they seem to be reasonably strong for mortals, so they should have no problem returning to the nearest city.
Arlan and I move to another planet in this Star System while we wait for Baldr's call to continue our plans.
"I heard that Baldr was attacked, this entire universe hates him more than us." (Arlan)
"Nobody likes Traitors, so this is no surprise." ()
"How are the preparations?" ()
"In progress, it seems that more are arriving, the leaders will also interfere." (Arlan)
"..." ()
I was in the middle of entering a planet's orbit when I stopped flying, my eyes turned to Arlan, even without saying anything, we know what we an by that look.
"Which one?" ()
"I don't know, but it's going to change the plans." (Arlan)
"It seems like the waiting ti is going to co to an end." ()
"It was very sudden, but I already warned my wives." (Arlan)
"We have to be more active then... just don't let them notice." ()
"I know." (Arlan)
"< Spiritual Law: Runic Gate >" ()
After speaking up to here, we both nodded in confirmation, I activated the Runes that are on one of the pages of my book, soon a rectangular Gate full of Runes ford where we entered.

Pov Irina:
I was sitting in front of my Father's statue, in my hand a candy made from the blood of dozens of monsters mixed with a dough in the shape of dozens of colored balls.
"What should I do... nothing seems to work... the closest solution I found was to use a Ritual Sacrifice, which you will definitely deny." ()
"I can't think of anything viable..." ()
I was lost in what I should do, I had to contain one of the strongest Gods in this universe who had beco an Ascendant and could not resort to Divine power, this was absurd in many ways.
From the beginning it was a ridiculous request and I know I'm not the only one doing this research, but I am the most specialized in the area of barriers, I even tried to contact others to see if combining our research would yield any results, but so are following completely wrong paths and others are so far behind that their information is not useful.
In the end, I was in despair because I didn't know where to go, my research is several levels ahead of the others to the point where I don't have a reference to open a new door for , I'm completely stagnant now.
"Stop asking a statue for help... Zenos is a failure in the field of theoretical studies, even if he were here, the best I could get would be so ridiculous idea." (Erica)
"Co with , I'll make you see a possibility that your innocent mind can't see on its own..." (Erica)
"Wait... you don't have to pull like that..." ()
Erica appeared out of nowhere from her Divine statue not far from where my Father's statue was, she grabbed by the head and pulled out of the Communal Temple, dragging straight into the forest.

Pov Zenos:
I was more than aware of calling the Creatures of the Abyss, but I didn't like this plan, my luck has always been shit to say the least, deep down I knew sothing would go wrong with this plan, but honestly, I didn't have a better idea than this.
With the 10 creatures chasing us, there was nowhere we could run and one of them was considered strong enough to finish off almost everyone here, I was afraid of that ghost creature and that's why I couldn't just stand by and do nothing.
Desperate situations call for desperate asures, unfortunately this motto is very true, the worst of all is that I suspect that a summoner may be hidden among these 10 creatures or the Ascendants we left behind may be closer than we imagined, because there would be no sense in these creatures appearing out of nowhere, they must have co from sowhere.
With my head in place, I waited exactly 1 hour, everyone was creating Rituals to be used if necessary, this ti they were not attack or trap Rituals, they were mainly support and defense at extrely high levels.
Since Tarzor could control his size to a certain extent, I made him decrease his size until he was a little smaller than a Star System, if he were bigger than that it would not be possible to create barriers or any kind of ritual for him.
My entire plan consists of escaping, with the Creatures of the Abyss hindering both us and our pursuers, we will be able to gain ti until we reach our universe, at least I hope we can do that, everything is just a wish on my part since I wouldn't know until the year is in practice.
"How is everyone?" ()
"Exhausted, the Gods used all their Divine power, the sa goes for the Heralds and their Saint, I also used all the power I could muster to help, but I don't know how useful it will be." (Freya)
"Honestly, every second will be important, the ti will co when the creatures of the Abyss will invade, I saw how they fight, so sooner or later, they will enter Tarzor." ()
"I just hope nothing unexpected happens too quickly..." ()
"I'll start, help from the outside." ()
"Tarzor, open a passage." ()
Soon a passage ford in front of us, it was as if a curtain opened in front of us revealing an oval portal that was just large enough for two people to pass side by side.
As soon as I passed, I realized that I was on top of Tarzor's head, my feet were simply stuck to his head while Freya's feet seed to take root with each step she took beside .
The view around was a kaleidoscope of colors and shapes as if I were drugged, it was unnerving and strange to see, it was as if the laws of physics were a joke and reality was an illusion, nothing made sense, logic was sothing that did not exist in this place and the more I tried to see logic in the things around , the greater my discomfort beca, this only improved when I stopped thinking about complicated things and just accepted that I would not understand anything.
As if what was around us was not enough, stepping on top of Tarzor's body was also strange, his body had no firm mass, his body was ethereal and looked like a universe surrounded by crystal scales, his wooden horns shone as if they were made of pure energy and were in fact parts of Freya's tree.
I looked to the side and Freya seed unperturbed in this place, very different from , she was holding my arm as we walked a few more steps, the sense of direction, gravity or even my senses didn't work as I would like, it was all too bizarre for .
I suddenly realized that there was sothing nearby and that was when I saw the Universal Golem in the form of an angel statue, this was the new body that Hinata was possessing and the statue of the statue had her face.
For so reason its size was small, it seed to be only a few hundred kiloters in size, I didn't know that these Universal Golems had this ability to change size.
"(Are you okay?)" (Freya)
"(No, but it doesn't matter, I'll start now, we don't have ti to waste.)" ()
Deep down I knew that this was a shitty year, I knew that from the beginning and that's why I didn't want to use this plan, but when it was the only year that seed viable I had no choice.
