I was in the Star Palace, in the main hall where a throne had been built, and I was looking at it with a headache before looking at the other person nearby.
"Don't look at like that, it was Ibuki's idea." (Freya)
"Seriously? A throne?" ()
"She wants you to have more imposing presence as a ruler." (Freya)
"Thrones are for Kings and Emperors who need a visual representation to show their people." ()
"I'm a God, my presence alone does more than a throne could do." ()
"This just makes look tacky, I also feel uncomfortable sitting on a throne." ()
"That doesn't change the fact that you are a ruler of this entire universe." (Freya)
"No, I've passed that responsibility on to you and Tarzor, I already have too much on my hands." ()
I wave my hand and the throne was destroyed, the Crystal Palace, while rebuilding itself, transforms the entire room into a room with a large screen TV like a movie screen, an armchair then rises from the floor looking very comfortable, where I sit.
I sigh.
"Now this is good..." ()
Snap
I snap my fingers and the television turns on, the images show 8 images of everything that my 6 Divine Beasts, Samara who is my Saint, and also my Herald, Hades, see.
"Why didn't they tell about this?" ()
"Your state wasn't the best." (Freya)
What was shown on the big screen were 8 scenarios, in most of them there were many of those armored creatures fighting alongside the Avatar of Hate.
The surrounding landscapes were also not pleasant to look at, everything was destroyed, flesh and blood painting an apocalyptic scene. Only one of the images was different; it was Samara flying among the stars. My connection with her was much stronger due to the various restrictions I had directly imposed on her soul, which is why her thoughts flowed naturally to when I looked at her vision.
"She's looking for that bird..." ()
"Not just them, my Avatar, as well as the Avatars of the Twins, are also searching alongside their wives." (Freya)
"How did you find their position?" ()
"A ritual while you were sleeping, we managed to track them." (Freya)
"I see..." ()
"(They don't know that I can forcibly summon that bird because of the Nightmare that is still marking it.)" ()
A plan ford in my mind. I rembered that there was an army of Anomalous Creatures alongside that bird; dealing with them all at once would be troubleso. It would be best to deal with the Phoenix alone. It also seems that Paradox needs it. ⱤΆℕ𝖔ꞖΕ𝐬
That's when I had an idea. I still needed energy, and it wasn't normal energy; Anomalous power would be ideal.
"Freya, I want you to do sothing for , tell Luci to..." ()
------------------------
7 hours later.
It's been almost 10 hours since I woke up. My body and energy were completely recovered, my mind was more rested from relaxing during those hours, and even though my soul is still sowhat wounded, it wasn't anything serious that would prevent from fighting.
"Do you want to fight him alone?" (Urd)
"Yes." ()
In front of , a ritual was being created with the statuette that Paradox created as the core. I was preparing a ritual to drag that flaming chicken to without any ans of resistance.
The only one by my side was Urd, but I could feel Igor and Ronan watching from a distance; they weren't the only ones either, I knew War must have eyes on , we are the only ones left in this conflict, he will keep a close watch on .
"If I attack alongside you and we call the others..." (Urd)
"I'm not doing this out of pride or anything like that." ()
"I need that damn bird, besides, I need to train against a strong opponent." ()
"We have many strong people around us, even I can fight against you." (Urd)
"But none of you want my death, none of you will fight seeking my life, and I won't be able to go all out against any of you either." ()
"..." (Urd)
I had already thought about how to end everything against War; of all the Entities, he would be the worst to deal with in almost any type of confrontation, whether a frontal battle or a war with troops, any of these scenarios would drag on for a long ti, his strategies will be better than mine and his troops will have exceptional coordination without a doubt.
The only way to end this universal ga quickly is a duel; as soon as I face Ayden again in a duel I can end this, but this ti my opponent won't just be him, War will undoubtedly take over his body and I'm sure he will be very strong.
"I need sothing that is suitable for my current state, I still don't have control over my Concept and I use it very passively, this can't continue like this." ()
"This ti I won't use the power of Nix and the others, nor will I use the power of Tarzor." ()
"Only your power is enough to fight against an Avatar, however strong the Phoenix may be, it didn't seem to be at that level." (Urd)
"One shouldn't judge soone's strength solely based on their power; the Phoenix possesses unknown ans. Furthermore, that bird is doing sothing..." ()
Looking at the statuette surrounded by continuously changing flas, it was clear that the Phoenix was doing sothing with the nightmare it had taken with it.
Moreover, sothing I noticed was how that Anomalous Creature managed to have the courage to invade a universe full of Avatars and contested by many Entities, also brazenly participated in the Infernal Event, and even dared to invade my mind in a mont of weakness, even though Paradox, whom it fears, was inside .
I won't underestimate such an enemy; its intelligence and audacity were on par with its power. I'm also not sure how many ans this enemy possesses, and I'm counting on being a big enough challenge to awaken more of my potential.
"(Only at the threshold of life and death can one advance beyond limits...)" ()
While thinking about the Phoenix, the forced summoning ritual was ready. I was no longer on the planet where Urd's Temple is located; I was on another planet so as not to affect that place.
"Co back, now only I will be enough..." ()
"Be careful." (Urd)
Leaving those words, Urd disappears, flying away. Now only I and the summoning ritual remained in this desert.
"Now only you remain..." ()
A summoning ritual works by having a connection with what will be summoned or by using its power to create a specific form like the lower Familiars without Souls; it's not difficult to perform.
A Forced Summoning Ritual, however, is different. You are trying to summon sothing that is not connected to you, so you need a ans connected to this target. It can be anything from a piece of fingernail, a drop of blood, or a fragnt of its mind.
"< Eclipse Ritual: Forced Invocation >" ()
"< Activate >" ()
The ritual, which was only a few hundred ters wide, begins to tremble and release energy. It rises from the ground, rapidly growing to over a thousand kiloters, filling the sky. Space lts as the statuette is sucked into the ritual.
The planet begins to vibrate, the surrounding energies are absorbed by the ritual, and to compensate for the energy loss, I throw so bottles containing the Sacred Blood from my temples.
The sky turns red and the lted space spins, flas erupting from the vortex in space, resembling a storm in the ocean.
Everything was in chaos when a column of flas descends from the ritual along with chains that drag sothing down. The claws of that bird are the first thing to appear, releasing torrents of flas in all directions. When the wings erge, the sky burns with black flas, and when its head appears, the ritual breaks, causing space to implode as it is restored.
"Damn Chaos Bearer!!!" (Phoenix)
"Hello again, roasted chicken!" ()
The Phoenix was very different from before; its body was covered in dark blue flas, it had three red eyes, and its beak was full of sharp teeth. It also had a new pair of wings, completing two pairs of flaming wings and three tails that looked like three very long feathers.
Its flas hadn't just changed color; it was sothing different. It carried a colder and more horrifying presence, a presence I knew, the presence of the Nightmare.
"I should thank you for this gift!" (Phoenix)
"I didn't know that by being reborn absorbing this thing you would beco so strong!" (Phoenix)
"Hahahahahahaha..." (Phoenix)
"You didn't disappoint ..." ()
It was clear that the Phoenix had absorbed the nightmare, I don't know how, but it doesn't matter, I was just happy to feel the danger of the enemy in front of , my blood was already flowing faster just because of the enemy in front of .
"Today will be our last encounter, you piece of shit bird!!" ()
"I will tear your body apart and force that bitch to appear!!!" (Phoenix)
"I won't be anyone's tool!!!" (Phoenix)
