I grab Irina and call my mother with my eyes while summoning my Saints, Heralds and Divine Beasts to et at the Ritual site inside the Communal Temple.
It took seconds to get there and I was in a hurry because I noticed sothing, I noticed what the Ascendants are truly doing and I was even more scared by the possibility of being right that seems more and more correct the more I think about it.
"What is it, what did you notice?" (Mother)
"I noticed that there were no Ascendants in this mass of Transford and Ascendant Golems, then Lena made realize that even this large number are too weak to face so many Gods on our side." ()
As I spoke, I had already reached the main hall of the Communal Temple where the statues of the Gods were enshrined, my statue among them as well as those of my wives, my sisters, my Divine Beasts, my Heralds, so of my daughters and my mother.
In the center of the hall was a magic circle drawn with my blood, surrounded by dozens of crystal cubes surrounded by Runes on all sides and containing Divine powers of different Gods, in the center a crystal basin that looks like a blooming flower, what it contained inside was not water but a space full of stars that form constellations similar to the statues in this hall, in the center an Eclipse emanating the power of chaos.
This was the Ritual that Irina, Erica and a few others worked together to create, a way to save those converted, a way to go against the plans of the Ascendants, but all of this almost seems aningless now if I hadn't realized their plans.
"Samara, of everyone here you've known the Ascendants the longest, have they ever fought head-on like this!?" ()
"A few tis that I know of, but all of them were guaranteed victories at the end of their respective conquests..." (Samara)
As soon as my Saints, Heralds and Divine Beasts gathered, I looked directly at Samara who was in front, she was the first to arrive with the others right behind her as she was always watching .
As if confirming my suspicions once again, she speaks realizing what I an and those of us with two brain cells finally realize the strangeness of the situation.
"What are you talking about?" (Layla)
"I don't understand either?" (Kiara)
"You two idiots..." (Sakura)
"Lena, how many Creatures and Anomalous Entities are on the Ascendants' side?" ()
The Twins moved along with , even Cortana noticed my movent and followed right behind, half of the forces that were previously outside were now here, there's no way the enemies wouldn't notice that.
"They created a few hundred Anomalous Creatures, but they're hard to control and I think it's hard for them to use them all here." (Lena)
"As for the Anomalous Entities, they have a lot of business with them, as conquerors of universes they are able to trade slaves of all races in the billions, entire planets, fragnts of space, Essences and very rarely even Souls." (Lena)
"Of course what they trade in these situations is not money, but rather an exchange between items or services." (Cortana)
"So the Entity that stopped you two during the invasion must have been one of them, the sa for that woman using the power of life and that Knight using the power of death, they are hired..." ()
"Dad, what do you intend to do?" (Irina)
Suddenly all the pieces co together in my mind, I touch Irina's forehead and then the Twins' since I need a quick job, explaining everything in a normal way would take dozens of minutes that we don't have.
Irina gets to work.
"System, I have never asked you for anything, so please answer, how many Anomalous Entities are cooperating with the Ascendants in this attack against us?" ()
"I also want to know how many Anomalous Creatures are being prepared." ()
Ding!

"..." ()
"This is worse than I thought?" (Lena)
"Can you see it too?" ()
"Our Authority in the System cos from yours, we are branched from You." (Cortana)
"But that doesn't matter now, they will move, we need to be quick." (Cortana)
The twins exchanged a look and began to move, they acted together with Irina in modifying the Ritual, they added another ritual above this one, it was a magic circle created from the energy of death and life.
The two Rituals seed to complent each other when a column of light ford, my mother and I felt the change in the environnt, I knew what I had to do when I cut my hand and used my blood to directly connect the two Rituals, while my mother waited while the power of this ritual expanded more and more.
"< Ritual of Unholy Rebirth: Activate >" (Lena/Cortana/Irina)
"< Expand and Integrate >" (Lena/Cortana/Irina)
A cylindrical barrier forms around the ritual, while another barrier forms and expands on the outside, distorting space as it integrates with it. The mirrored space begins to form in response outside of Okan as the barrier integrates with him, spreading far beyond what it should in seconds.
I, as well as the other Gods, were able to perceive this. It was a very large mundane in the very structure of the universe. It was as if a predator was lurking within this barrier.
As if responding to this thought, sothing very far away turned its eyes to . It was very familiar and at the sa ti alien. Soon after, I felt the presence of Vida and Norte for a millisecond before they disappeared along with the gaze I felt. That alone was enough to make my heart race.
"(What was that!?)" ()
"Master, we have a problem, they started it!" (Nix)
Nix suddenly finds himself raising his voice in warning, I knew the Ascendants would move, they realized they were discovered and are accelerating their plans.
Everyone starts to pass by the dark Dragon head that cos out of the shadows of the Communal Temple, but before I can pass, Cortana and Lena stop .
"I received a ssage from the system when activating the Ritual, it seems that our 'mothers' decided to intervene, strengthening the ritual even more." (Cortana)
"Will it work?" ()
"Their interference only increased the range, but I believe it will work, but they still need to die to activate its effects." (Lena)
"That won't be a problem..." ()
Leaving through the portal, I found myself once again outside Tarzor looking at the sea of waiting enemies, but this ti multiple magic circles appeared, none of them were simple, there were 25 among them that emitted as much power as the creature of mist that I faced in my loss of control.
These 25 magic circles were made of multiple Dunes, all of them began to absorb the Transford as if they were holes through which the water flowed without stopping, everything was so fast that it was a horrible scene since everyone here could feel the thick energy of death growing in that area showing the great volu of lives lost at the sa ti.
Half of the billions of lives were lost like that, the magic circles shone incandescently as they broke into holes through which the presence of those creatures emanated.
The other half of the Transford, anwhile, were suddenly disintegrating as streams of power, life, Soul power and ntal power were sucked into a stream that crossed space as if it were being claid by soone. A large gate appeared, breaking space as a strong thirst for blood took over this entire area of the universe as it opened.
"This is worse than you said, Selene..." (Akatosh)
"That power, it is one of the catastrophes, the Entity of War..." (Hatlas)
It seems that my mother had passed on what we had discovered to the other Gods. We were all prepared for combat. So of them seed especially savage, eager to destroy our enemies, such as my mother, my sister Natasha, Akatosh, Adella, the Goddess of the Fairies, the God of War and the God of Justice.
Suddenly the God of War beca enraged, his killing intent was burning brighter than everyone else's, it was as if his Divine Aura was making the war drums resound by his re presence, even my heart was beating with a desire to see him fight more intensely, yet no one stepped forward to fight.
Everyone here was strong and intelligent, no matter how angry the Gods present here were feeling at seeing billions of their own people not only transford by force into enemies, but also being consud as fuel in such acts of genocide, no one would go into battle blindly just to die.
Everyone waited to see the Anomalous Creatures that were erging as well as what would actually co out of that large gate that suddenly appeared.
Not to ntion that the Ascendants had not yet appeared, they would not just stand by and watch, they must be nearby and would most likely appear from that gate.
The first thing that appeared were the Anomalous Creatures, each one of them was an equal aberration, they were Golems made from planets and I can say this with certainty since I can still feel the presence of living Worlds seeing them, there were 20 of these Golems and right behind it there were 5 Creatures the sa as the one I faced, that damned black mist in humanoid form with a red orb like a big eye where its head should be.
The Ascendants were with those things, there were more than 100 Level 3 Ascendants, their numbers were much smaller than I expected, they didn't co through the gate as I imagined, but it doesn't matter, at least now I know what I would face.
As for whoever appeared from the great gate, my eyes fell on the army of worn-out armor filled with bloodstains and marks of countless battles, all emanating endless killing intent, there were also monstrous creatures that emanated a savage Aura of pure hunger, it was easy to confirm that the two entities helping the Ascendants are War and Famine.
