Pov Vecna:
"Aaahhhhhh!!!!!" ()
Sigh
Sigh
The pain was too great, I was inside an underground hall, all the Runes and Rituals I created here filled this place with the power of the Law to the point of saturation, the power of the Law was almost solid here, a lake of my blood was below as I sat on its surface, all this power of the Law was converging towards the object at the bottom of the lake of blood, the bones of a Dragon God.
"I need to start... the tals..." ()
"Hhhgggggg!!!" ()
"!!!!!!" ()
Sigh
The pain I felt was not due to the loss of blood but rather from being the conductor of so much power of the Ascending Law, this while the remaining power of the Dragon's bones fought against , the pressure on my body and Soul was uneven.
My body was working at its limits and no matter how much effort I was going through it was acceptable, but my Soul was being squeezed by the will of the Dragon's residual in attack, for the vast majority of Ascendants, our Souls have always been weak, a difficult problem to overco to this day.
I take out bars of rare concentrated tals and throw them into the lake of my blood that begins to boil, the tals lt and are marked by my blood, vein patterns that create runes inside them before fusing into the bones.
This whole process was ti-consuming and I had to do it alone, I didn't have Mavor and Urak to switch places with sporadically, this ti it wouldn't work, doing the recombination process from scratch like this is only possible for an individual.
"(I have to endure... we don't have ti for tests anymore!!)" ()
"You look exhausted, Vecna." (???)
"Who...!?" ()
"You don't need to worry about , I'm just an Avatar of the Curse." (???)
"Ggghhhaaaa!!!" ()
The pain was intense, my vision was swimming as if I were at the bottom of a dark ocean, I couldn't see the individual at the edge of the lake of blood, but his figure was certainly not humanoid.
"What do you... want...!!?" ()
"That's a very interesting question with more extensive answers than you can imagine, but I'll stick to what I want from you for now." (???)
"!!!" ()
Snap! Snap!
Crack!
I clench my teeth as I feel the bones inside my body cracking under the pressure of the energies being refined below the lake of blood, then ca the noise of the Divine Dragon Bones breaking before a part of the blood from the lake was sucked into bones that healed with more tallic appearances, the final refining process had begun and would take a while.
"The Curse Entity has always been neutral and does not interfere in the affairs of others, but it seems that my lady has given the wrong impression so far." (???)
"Those who are using your universe for their gas of power and authority dare to use one of our newest Avatars in their endeavors." (???)
His body was blurred and his outline seed to move as if he were not an individual, but rather a colony of things maintaining a singular form.
"I would like to form a proposition with you, I will assist your Ascendants as an allied force against your invaders and in exchange I will use your life flow stolen from the universes to help the newbie awaken his sapience." (???)
"You are asking... too much!!" ()
"I know, so I will also help you with sothing else..." (???)
"< Cursed Origin: Inversion of the Divine >" (???)
"AAAHHHHHH!!!" ()
Suddenly the pain beca unbearable, a cold sensation took over as the entire lake of blood boiled to the boiling point, my entire body and Soul were plunged into suffering, but I still maintained my concentration as if sothing was supporting my consciousness, the refining process that would last months accelerated by more than half and the residual divine will of the Dragon burned as its power flowed nourishing my Soul.
Even in tornt I could still hear his voice speaking as if my pain ant nothing to him.
"With this I am helping to speed up whatever this is, it will also prevent you from failing halfway, I know you cannot answer now and so I will take your screams as confirmation of my proposal." (???)
"Don't worry, I will not act on my own, I will let this child do things her own way after she reaches sapience, it will be a challenge for her." (???)
"Now I take my leave, I hope you won't have to act like this again and I wish you success, leader of the Ascendants..." (???)
Just as he appeared out of nowhere, he disappeared as my mind was swallowed by pain, his proposal was not to my liking, but it was not without benefits to , his help now may increase my suffering, which doesn't matter as long as I succeed, the loss of the vitality explored from the Universes in our borders won't affect much either, we can always conquer more universes after I reach the fifth pair of wings.

Pov Zenos:
I was watching the five-year summoning gate close, Callidora's eyes smiling as she saw my expression, the armored giant had a pure Demonic Aura, his bright eyes through the helt were filled with endless malice as well as intelligence.
As soon as he stepped out of the summoning portal that now disappeared into the background, he looked at the Avatar of Pride who had summoned him. There was no pleasure in his presence, only anger could be felt in his Aura burning around him before he turned his eyes to us.
Suddenly his eyes focused on Collins as his great sword disappeared and before anyone could react, he was already in front of Collins who t the tip of the great sword with his wing that covered itself in ice.
The collision between the two sent a blue mist and rays of Demonic energy in waves to the surroundings, which did not affect anyone present, but destroyed the part of the city where we were.
"Be careful, he's fast!" (lissa)
"Leave him to , take care of the Avatar!!!" ()
"It's okay, I'm no good against infernal creatures." (Collins)
Collins had Demonic energy burning his wing, he clearly didn't co out unscathed from this attack and seed to be tornted by Demonic energy, but I'm not switching places with him because of that but rather to avoid having to fight too close to them, I don't want to be discovered and I also can't coordinate with them that well.
"< Law of Ice: Blade Hurricane >" (Collins)
"< Law of Assassination: Shadow Pursuit >" (lissa)
"< Pride of Combat >" (Ghanor)
I didn't care about their combat and charged towards the Infernal creature that was still aiming at Collins, I appeared next to him who was in the middle of his attack, then I raised both hands towards the Infernal creature while my wings and ring glowed.
"< Law of Eclipse: Threshold Space >" ()
Ruins erge from my wings circling as well as the Infernal creature, everything around us seems to disappear, but in truth it was the two of us who left that place, around us a strange world ford a crystal floor that reflected the starry sky above with a horizon that of a great Eclipse taking place.
It was a space that seed infinite, I looked tiny facing the Infernal creature that turned its eyes to stopping its attack, he held his shield tightly while the sword materialized in his other hand, he looked at with anger growing stronger and stronger when a voice full of malice ca out of his helt.
"You are the God that Hell has embraced!" (Infernal General)
"If you're talking about Callidora, I'm just soone who made a deal with her." ()
"I don't care... I sll her rotten sll on you!" (Infernal General)
"I can't help but submit to that thing that turned into this... but you, I'm going to have fun tearing you apart!!"
"< Demonic Butcher's Awakening >" (Infernal General)
"< Eclipse Law: Threshold Dagger >" ()
As the dagger that seed to be made from a shard of shattered space from another universe ford in my hand, the Demon in front of grew even larger, reaching 8 ters, his shield deford into the shape of a horned skull made of tal bones, his great sword shattered into pieces as blood ca out of his armor flowing down his arm until it reached his hand creating a large serrated cleaver stained with blood, his Armor beca even thicker with his helt taking on a Demonic face with large tal teeth, it seed as if the helt had fused with his skull.
The presence was bloodthirsty and as he ran towards , his power was less than that of an Avatar, but it was at the level of a God.
He ran at an even greater speed than before, I flapped my wings spinning to dodge and still found that shield in front of trying to crush against the ground.
I sorsault in the air and kick the shield hard to get away from him as I once again force myself to spin in the air using that centrifugal force to kick the large cleaver that was trying to split in half.
"(I'm going to need more than that... he's too fast...)" ()
"(I'm going to have to fight as an Ascendant, but I haven't had ti to test that yet.)" ()
One thing I've never tried before and really wouldn't like to try is using the power of the Ascendants, the Symbol of Dominion. I've seen many of them use it against and it doesn't seem like a complex thing to do. With the help of the Ring I should be able to do it. Still, it's not sothing I'd like to use. I don't know what might happen. I'm different from the Ascendants in certain basic ways that might influence this in unpredictable ways. Still, I can't use my normal powers in this fight without running a huge risk of revealing myself.
