That eye didn't stay in the sky for long, in fact, it seed for a mont that sothing was wrong, the eye moved from side to side as if it couldn't see us before disappearing and with it Urak's presence also disappeared.
"What was that?" ()
"The Ascendants, they realized sothing was wrong." (Davoth)
"That was the universal eye, Urak's favorite technique, she can see everything in this universe or any other connected to ours." (Urd)
"Yes, for her to act like that and only now only ans that she noticed Hajak's intervention or her commotion was too great to hide." (Davoth)
"It was probably both things, now we should get out of here." (Freya)
While everyone was talking, I was already acting, I honestly wanted to take everyone here and simply leave, but in the sky there was an open portal to Tarzor, I needed to close that before leaving.
But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't close it and Tarzor himself didn't even seem to be trying to close it, that wasn't his way of acting, so I let the others talk and went to try to clear up doubts at the source.
"(As I just said, there is no open rift at the mont.)" (Tarzor)
"(So how can I see you looking at this futuristic city?)" ()
"(A projection, you're seeing an image, there is no fracture in space, fortunately.)" (Tarzor)
"..." ()
I was confused about what he said, it wasn't that simple, this projection wouldn't be sothing created by Urd, it was sothing made to highlight and manipulate the power of another, perhaps complenting her power during evolution.
"Urd, how do I stop that?" ()
"No need, just..." (Urd)
Snap...
Urd snaps her finger and what I thought was a portal in the sky closes with a column of light receding into the Temple below, the sky clears again and before I can start acting, Urd puts a hand on my shoulder.
"No need to do anything, Urak didn't find us, to her it must have just seed like everything was empty, the Laws of Space no longer reach this planet and as such the Universe rejects this space, Urd's eyes are blinder than you imagine." (Urd)
As she explained I began to relax knowing that I could rest a little, the day had been very full of problems.
"Aren't you forgetting soone?" (Davoth)
We all looked in one direction, the place where a very handso man was sitting in a chair and table that seed to belong to royalty, in his hands was what I imagined to be a tea or juice.
He looks at us without caring about anything and so I leave everything aside, I didn't care anymore.
We walked to her Temple while we talked about other things, I didn't want the Avatar of Pride to follow us anymore or find out what we were doing.
"Now that you've beco an Entity you should be able to solve the rest of this idiot's plan, right?" ()
Davoth frowned looking at before exchanging glances with Urd, his eyes ran over her body as if analyzing her changes and I could feel his Aura acting strangely as it interacted with Urd's Aura.
"Your Concept is double, that's rare." (Davoth)
"But it's aligned only with the existences of individuals, it also has several restrictions I'm sure." (Davoth)
"What are you talking about?" ()
As always, it irritates that Davoth always seems to have an answer for everything and his capabilities are very comprehensive, this is so evident that I stop thinking of him as an Entity and I'm not sure if he wasn't one before.
"(If a God can decay to mortal like Lok and Veronica, losing their Divinities and abandoning what remains of their Essences, then can an Entity decay too?)" ()
The first ti I saw Davoth was when he pretended to be the System, to do that his Transcendental Authority must be enormous and the Entities Life, Death and Reincarnation seem to know him very well.
"I don't understand what you an by restrictions, but about the dual Concept, I think I understand what you an." (Urd)
"My Concepts are Evolution and Ascension." (Urd)
"Wait, wait... I can understand Ascension, it's probably not even the sa Ascension that the Ascended know, but where did you get Evolution from, it was nowhere near what you should understand." (Davoth)
"Unless...?" (Davoth)
"Zenos, did you use sothing of yourself as a catalyst?" (Davoth)
"Catalyst?" ()
"You granted her sothing during her transformation, what was it?" (Davoth)
"A book made of parts of like bones, teeth, blood, scales and lines... also my heart." ()
"So it was his fault, the heart that pumps the blood and through which infinite bloodlines that he devoured flowed... that was why." (Davoth)
"The part about the origin of her powers doesn't matter, what do you an by alignnt and restriction?" (Hades)
"Hades is right, I would like to know too." (Freya)
"If there is sothing wrong with her, I will mutilate her body!" (Nala)
"Nala, don't be rude, there is nothing wrong with , in fact, I have never been this good before." (Urd)
Nala had been silent for a long ti, but she was listening intently. It seed like she was worried about Urd and wanted to hear what Davoth had to say. Now she was starting to get impatient.
"Restriction is about the type of Concept you use and where it applies. For example, Urd's power, Evolution cannot affect a stone without a mind or a Soul. Even if it is a stone with a lot of power contained within, it will never evolve." (Davoth)
"Her power is restricted only to individuals. I'm not sure about the number of restrictions, but there will certainly be more restrictions. All Concepts work with restrictions that work to affirm their Concepts as well as define them." (Davoth)
"Alignnt is about where your Concept applies. Does it apply to Individuals? To the Ethereal? To objects? To energy? To the mind? To the Elents? To nature?" (Davoth)
"Her powers are clearly of the alignnt of individuals, whether they are people or monsters of any kind they will still be of their alignnt." (Davoth)
"In other words, the alignnt sets a direction and the restrictions define the paths to that direction." ()
"A gross simplification, but mostly correct." (Davoth)
It seems there are more nuances than I could understand, I will have to think more about it later.
"So there is nothing wrong with her?" (Nala)
"No, she is perfect and I imagine that her Concept will interact exceptionally with the Twins', I also see a pattern." (Davoth)
"Yes, I know." ()
"What are they talking about?" (Nala)
"Nothing that concerns you." ()
"Nala, try to calm down, I am fine, so stop looking into other people's secrets." (Urd)
"Alright..." (Nala)
Nala wasn't convinced, but I couldn't care less, I had other concerns, I also noticed the obvious pattern, the Twins' Concepts transform individuals either by nourishing them or by making them reborn, as for Urd this Concept was now also about transforming individuals, it was clear that my Chaos power was influencing them, that was the pattern, Davoth must have realized that they are branching off from my Chaos Concept and must understand this better than I do by the way he is looking at .

Pov Barerosa:
"Are you proud of who you are?" (???)
"..." ()
I was lost in confusion, denial, and sha.
Everything I believed to be right was questioned and denied by the information Zenos put in my head, things I already knew and others I didn't want to know.
My vision of everything around shattered before a truth I could not deny, the Ascended were nothing more than a disease, we were just spreading misery, our population was stagnant just like I was before Ascending, we destroyed entire universes as if they were disposable, despising the Gods due to an inferiority complex intrinsic to our condition.
It was in this mont of despair and truth that the dallion Zenos left behind emitted an Aura and a female voice.
"Who are you...?" ()
"Who I am doesn't matter now, I'm asking a simple question, don't you dare answer?" (???)
"Of course I have no pride, not anymore..." ()
"How could I feel pride...?" ()
"Does your despair lie in the truth you discovered, in the mories of everything you did or perhaps in sothing more selfish... sothing you didn't want to admit to yourself, like the loss of sothing important...?" (???)
"..." ()
"Yes... who am I kidding..." ()
"Purpose... I don't have a purpose anymore..." ()
My failures don't matter as much as the loss of my purpose...
When I beca an Ascendant, my mind transford, it beca clearer, those around were also different, they talked about random things, invented new things and demonstrated many things I had never seen before, that's when I realized how pale I was in comparison until then, how inferior and incomplete.
I gained a purpose and also the ability to develop myself further towards that purpose, but now I feel sha and anger not for what I did, this anger cos from a false purpose, everything is based on a lie.
"What are you truly proud of?" (???)
"..." ()
