"Can either of you explain to what happened here?" ()
The Twins glance at briefly before exchanging a look as if telling the other to speak, I was waiting until Lena took that step forward.
"Anomalous Entities like War cannot directly intervene in a universe, that's why they use Avatars, that's one of the implicit rules to maintain balance." (Lena)
"But even Avatars can't act as they please, War has been using his Avatar in the universes belonging to the Ascendants, as such, he can't interfere with other unrelated universes and must always stay within his Concept." (Lena)
"Tarzor still falls into the category of Universe, he can't invade here that way, that's why he tried to avoid a direct battle like he likes, he just wanted to force you to use your chaos power on the cube before taking it away as quickly as possible." (Lena)
"(That explains a few things.)" ()
With the strength he demonstrated, there was no need for him to do things like that, he could have simply done whatever he wanted, there was no need to sneak in and steal the tal cube like he did before, much less use a distraction with the Universal Golems to do so.
Even so, he was already one step away from breaking that rule and if it weren't for the twins, he might have broken that rule by now, so I can't trust those things, I must be careful and prepare for the next ti I et him, I can't let him do whatever he wants with the people important to .
"What happens if they break that rule?" ()
"They give others room to act against them to the sa extent, for example, Vida could send soone to fight their Avatars and even kill them." (Lena)
"If it's sothing with very big repercussions, then the entities themselves might even co into direct conflict." (Cortana)
"Yes, what everyone tries to avoid, in the sa way that a confrontation on a Divine level can destroy worlds and sotis even entire star systems, the direct confrontation of Entities can destroy entire universes." (Lena)
"Killing an entity is also almost impossible, you will only kill that personality and pray that the next one is not worse." (Lena)
"It would not end there, an injured or dead Entity would cause an imbalance in its Concept, this would affect all universes." (Cortana)
"That is why Avatars are used, if they are destroyed it will not affect the Concept and the Entities can directly control the Avatars." (Cortana)
"(So if he's willing to bear the cost, he can still break the rule, at most he would lose an Avatar.)" ()
This realization made understand a few things, they weren't iron rules or laws, they were more like verbal agreents between cosmic beings, that was too dangerous to take literally.
I was lost in thought before I felt a hand touching my shoulder, when I turned my eyes to see Freya who had a serious face.
"Instead of talking about random things, it would be better to take care of our current problems." (Freya)
Holding my shoulder, Freya shows several images in my mind, she wanted to pay attention to all the battles that were still happening inside and outside Tarzor.
Showing myself outside, I wasn't able to sense the Universal Golem that was hit by Freya's attack or the one I left on its own.
I also didn't see any of the Anomalous Creatures that have been chasing us so far, I don't like the direction these things are taking, I don't like losing sight of my enemies.
"You're right, there are more things to do..." ()
I contact Tarzor to explain to him what I could do, I also wanted to know if he was capable of carrying out my plan, if it's possible for him to open a path by himself instead of jumping from one to the other, then maybe this trip will be faster.
-----------------
3 days later.
It's been 3 days since I t the Avatar of War, during that ti I put my plan into practice, Tarzor was able to use my Chaos power to create a unique energy flow, this didn't increase his speed, what it did was decrease the travel ti, without having to take detours or jump from one energy flow to another, Tarzor was able to follow a single path.
This brought us so relief, most of the Creatures of the Abyss were left behind, they used the energy flows to travel, that's how they managed to chase us until now, but with Tarzor following a path he created on his own, they weren't able to follow us.
Only the large Creatures of the Abyss continued to follow us, in fact their number increased with each passing hour as if they were being commanded to do so, the one responsible for this was also chasing us closely, the General of the Abyss, the sa one I had expelled previously and this ti he wasn't alone.
Unfortunately, the Ascendants were now attacking in a more covert way, they were sending summoners, assassins and experts in strange powers like illusion, space or even mind control like they did now.
"How much... haa... haaa... ti until we get there... haaa...?" ()
Sigh
"One more day, maybe a little less..." (Tarzor)
Tarzor's voice was tired, it seems that creating his own energy flow put a lot of pressure on him.
"That was hard... I'll make you pay for this... Arash...!!" (Adella)
Sigh
"..." (Arash)
"He can't hear you, he wasn't to bla for this either." (Lolth)
"I know all of this..." (Adella)
"Then why are you saying all this?" (Lolth)
"Because I'm angry and your claws went through my chest!!!" (Adella)
"Stop arguing... please... I'm too tired to listen... you two arguing...!" ()
I was exhausted, everyone had been fighting with almost no rest, to make matters worse an Ascendant with tal powers was able to control Arash as well as being able to control many other Dragons on our side because of his powers, it was a ss to suppress this battle without causing serious injuries to our allies and friends.
Right now there were Dragons everywhere we looked, most of them were unconscious, sealed, paralyzed or trapped in so technique.
Below was Arash in his Dragon form, he was unconscious with injuries all over his body, multiple Runes were flowing through his body keeping his unconscious state a little longer.
Adella was in her Human form, she had several injuries, most of them lighter than mine, while her only serious injury was the hole in her chest where Arash's claws had gone through.
While we were talking, soone else was devouring a white wing, it was Akatosh who still had red eyes full of murderous intent, anger was etched in his Aura as he finished devouring what was left of the body of the Ascendant he killed.
"Calm down Akatosh, we have to defend ourselves one more day... just one more day..." ()
"How do you expect to calm down? That bastard tried to control my mind and managed to do it with Arash as well as with other Dragons that are under my command!!" (Akatosh)
"He's already dead and everyone is alive... so try to calm down..." ()
"(They're trying to get in again.)" (Tarzor)
"..." ()
I stop talking and close my eyes, sharing Tarzor's senses, I was able to easily see more than 70 large Abyss Creatures crossing 3 cracks, in which a claw tip was sticking out as they passed, those are the claws of that Abyss General.
"Get ready, we have another attack!" ()
"Karina and Hades, you take care of those Dragons, the others go..." ()
Drawing everyone's attention to , I start giving commands to everyone, we didn't have ti to rest or heal, we just spread out like many tis before, with Freya's help we could always move throughout Tarzor with ease saving ti that sotis could take weeks flying between the stars for us to move from one spot to another.
With the Creatures of the Abyss attacking us head-on and the Ascendants attacking us from the shadows, neither I nor anyone else could relax. The constant state of alert was taking its toll on everyone, especially , who was also lending my senses to debate frequently to keep the progress of all the battles in mind.
To be honest, the situation was very bad. Half of Tarzor's planets had already been destroyed. He was tired and badly injured. He was no longer able to close the rifts in his dinsional mbrane by himself.
The situation was only getting worse. I didn't know whether to be relieved that there was less than a day left until we finally reached our destination or frustrated that there was still almost a day left.
I was exhausted and deep down I knew that the Ascendants would make a strong move sooner or later before we returned to our universe. If not them, then the Generals of the Abyss might do sothing. That's why I knew that this last day could be the most dangerous, especially now that everyone was tired.
