Pov Valius:
I was having more and more difficulty keeping calm, Mavor may not be a sadist, but he acts like one and sotis even worse than that.
Seeing him collect Souls up close was bad enough, but seeing him show himself in front of the Gods of this world in such an arrogant way while provoking them more and more, it made rember so unhappy mories of when the Ascendants revealed themselves in my universe.
I knew that I just had to wait now, the Teleportation device had already been activated for a few minutes before we showed ourselves, the other side must have already picked up the signal and must be activating it on their side too, as soon as we get what we need we can leave here giving enough space for Davoth to start his plan and I can pass on his instructions to the others.
While I was lost in my mind, I saw the attempts to steal the Skull of Uratos, I knew it would be impossible since it was connected to its owner, but seeing that thing manage to deceive Mavor's senses with a false her, and then manage to touch the Skull of Uratos without being affected, that was absurd and impossible in so many ways that I didn't know how to process that information.
After that, seeing Callidora show herself was no surprise, I also didn't dare question her self-imposed na, no one would like to go against the decisions of this incarnation of eternal tornt.
But her having a Goddess in her na was a surprise, no wonder Mavor's eyes are serious when looking at that Goddess, her Divinity easily felt by us must be hateful to him, even so she is off limits for him to even dare to act against.
As if that wasn't enough, the two Entities that inford that they were on Zenos' side decided to act, at least one of them almost threw all my plans into chaos by attacking.
Fortunately, she focused on the Abyss General first. If she had sensed the counterasures we had placed on him, perhaps she would have changed her target. That Abyss General would be sealed again the mont he was completely freed. By then, we would be far away and Mavor would not know about such sabotage of his plans.
As soon as the teleportation was over, we were all inside a Universal Golem that was touching the dinsional mbrane of this universe. We were on a crystal platform made of pure condensed spatial elents and surrounded by Runes of Law that were losing their shine.
"Valius, follow my orders and inform the others. We are leaving directly for the capital." (Mavor)
"I will fulfill my duty, sir." ()
I see Mavor leave, but halfway there, his Aura goes out of control for a brief mont as a Death energy leaves him unconscious, black marks spreading across his entire body before disappearing along with the Death energy without a trace.
"(Was it her...?)" ()
I could barely contain my happiness at seeing Mavor in this state, yet I acted along with the other Ascendants as if I was worried about him while ntally transmitting to the others.
"(Start with the preparations, delay our return as much as possible without being too obvious, Davoth needs ti for his preparations!)" ()
"(Yes, sir!!!)" (everyone)
Hearing so many voices inside your head is never pleasant, especially with so of those voices being filled with murderous intent.

Pov Zenos:
I stood up and realized that my body was as it had been since I left the pool of blood.
I was feeling lazy due to the ntal exhaustion still affecting , so I didn't look for any clothes and instead controlled so of the blood filled with holy power in the pool to cover my body as it turned into fabric changing its color to different shades of red or black.
My clothes were simple and elegant, my hair was still ssy, but it would stay that way as I walked closer to Karina before stopping and looking at Kira walking in another direction.
"Aren't you coming?" ()
"No, I have to tell the others and I have so things to take care of on my own." (Kira)
"I'll et you later, I missed you all..." ()
"We missed you too, now go quickly, Gods don't rest." (Kira)
Seeing her turn around and leave, I also turn to Karina, she was more focused on my chest, the clothes may be hiding my injuries, but she took a good look before that, concern written all over her face.
"I'm fine, Karina." ()
"No, you're not fine, while you talk to Davoth, I'll go find Natasha to take care of that injury." (Karina)
"Okay, thank you." ()
I follow Karina to a higher floor of the Communal Temple where I enter a room while Karina cos out with her fangs, inside the room were Davoth, a woman with a snake head and my mother together with my older sister, as soon as I entered all eyes were directed at .
"Sorry I'm late." ()
I look at everyone and realize that this Serpent woman was the sa one who accompanied us during the trip that Hades told about, I can feel the strong power of Curse in her as well as the Anomalous power.
Davoth was still the sa, but looking at him irritated deeply, so I turned my eyes to the two beautiful won of my family, I feel next to my mother who was also looking at my chest as if she could see through the clothes where the wound was.
I tried not to show or externalize the anger bubbling up inside again, I hide the murderous intent that has no place here, my Aura completely under control as I respond to Elizabeth and my mother's looks with a slight smile.
"I'm fine." ()
"Now, why are you here?" ()
"I already know everything about your trip, I had ti to talk to your Heralds and Akatosh." (Davoth)
"He also ca to talk to us both." (Cortana)
"..." (Everyone)
Cortana and Lena appear sitting on a couch that wasn't there before, I didn't see them when I arrived, but the others don't seem surprised by their presence.
"What do you want to talk to about, I just woke up and I'm not in the mood to see a coward who hid while billions died." ()
"I understand your..." (Davoth)
"No, you don't understand or you wouldn't dare to sit in front of now." ()
"I told you things would end like this." (Selene)
"Zenos, don't lose control, this matter is serious, Davoth is not the right target for your anger." (Elizabeth)
"..." ()
I realized that I was letting my Aura escape to the point of distorting the space around , so I regained control, my emotions were not very stable, the scenes of that genocide still weighing on my mind.
"I understand your fury, but my presence on the battlefield would have made little difference, my combat strength is inferior to Lady Selene's." (Davoth)
"My presence would cause more harm than good, if Mavor saw all my plans of thousands of years would be lost, they would beco extrely cautious." (Davoth)
"They believe I'm dead, as Ascendants are normally prevented from Reincarnating, they think I'm lost and don't suspect that there would be other traitors, they consider a re anomaly in their race, a point outside their control curve that was duly dealt with." (Davoth)
"All I hear are excuses, do you think I don't know about what you didn't do? Tell , could you have stopped their act of transforming people? Could you have interrupted the indications that sacrificed so many lives!? COULD YOU HAVE STOPPED THEM FROM COLLECTING SO MANY SOULS!!!???" ()
Baaaammm!!!!!
"He's calr than I imagined." (Lena)
"Yes, he must be worried about destroying the Temple if he uses too much power." (Cortana)
"His Aura is incredible, I feel the power of curses very pure intertwining with other things and constantly changing... incredible..." (Serpent Woman)
"Zenos, calm down, let's listen to him first." (Selene)
Everyone was very calm as the table my fist hit disintegrated into splinters of wood and my murderous intent covered the entire room, even so everyone kept a calm conversation and with my mother's hand pulling my body back to sit on the couch next to her, I suppress my anger and murderous intent once again.
"Okay, let's hear what he has to say..." ()
Davoth was unfazed by my angry words, murderous intent or anything else, his face a mask of annoying calm as if everything I said had nothing to do with him.
"I could have stopped the summonings, but that would have revealed the traitors on the Ascended side. We could have saved those who were sacrificed and wasted the opportunity to save a thousand tis more lives." (Davoth)
"As for the transford, I know nothing about them and I only realized what Mavor was doing at the end. It was too late to do anything about it. There was no way of knowing he had such an item in his hands." (Davoth)
