Will of chaos

Pov Hades:

I was in the middle of the Forest doing what my meditation training had taught me, just as the master had taught me, when one of their daughters approached, her body still wounded from the last fight.

"Miss, to what do I owe your presence?" (me)

"Why didn't you try to calm my Father down during Mavor's blackmail?" (Hela)

"I don't think I understand your question, I didn't act any differently from the other Heralds or the Divine Beasts." (me)

"We both know that's not true, the Divine Beasts are deeply connected to my Father, so when he has such overwhelming emotions it ends up influencing them." (Hela)

"But that's not the same for the Heralds, most of them follow what my Father wants blindly, but only you act on your own thinking about what's best for my Father and we both know that attacking at that moment was not the right thing to do." (Hela)

"..." (me)

"I think you're generalizing too much, Zaya for example was acting not because of Zenos, but because of her own fury." (me)

I remember that moment, just remembering it makes my blood boil even more, as soon as Mavor revealed that Skull he was already out of control.

Sigh

"I on the other hand, was a little out of control for another reason... that Skull..." (me)

"I may look like that now, but at my core I'm still a curse, I could feel the curse in that skull, it was horrible how much it looked like me, it was a distortion of what I am, it infuriated my entire being... even now I remember the pulse of energy that flowed from my Soul." (me)

"I'm a little ashamed of the indifference I felt towards those Souls or the Ascendants, I could only see that Skull in front of me." (me)

"How interesting..." (Hela?)

"Huh...?" (me)

Suddenly Hela's voice sounds different than usual, when I look at her her body moves towards me faster than I could perceive appearing beside me without giving me a chance to react.

As soon as I felt her presence and Aura changing it was too late to move away, a Serpent's tail wrapped around me with monstrous force, I was immobilized while her appearance changed, her neck lengthened while the shape of her head changed and it became obvious who this was.

"You know, I didn't have time to introduce myself before, I'm Yaffe... nice to meet you~... my sweet~ sweet~ living curse~~..." (Yaffe)

She placed her hand on my face weaving her fingers up to my chin, her wide smile revealing a row of teeth with two much larger ones bent inwards, her eyes were maniacally locked on mine and her Aura began to infiltrate my body.

"Why are you here!?" (me)

"Surprised?" (Yaffe)

"Did you think I wouldn't find you?" (Yaffe)

"I would never let such a magnificent creature slip through my fingers~... wonderful~~..." (Yaffe)

She grabbed my head with her hands and rubbed her face full of smooth scales against mine, but I still didn't understand how it got here when I was informed that she was at the Communal Temple having come with Davoth.

"Let me go now!!" (me)

"Darling~~~... you're so cute to think I would do something like that~~..." (Yaffe)

"You know, the clone I left with your master can hinder his senses, so he won't realize what I'm doing, but don't worry, I won't do anything bad to you... maybe you'll even like it~~~..." (Yaffe)

--------------------

Pov Zenos:

I was listening to Davoth and his excuses once again, but I don't think he can even convince himself properly, he didn't act out of pure fear in the end, he was afraid of his plan being exposed, this fear changed all his vision and thoughts to his plan, I don't know if I feel pity or anger towards such a pathetic creature like him anymore.

As I listened to him stop talking and look at me as if waiting for my next reaction, I waited, I waited as the possibilities passed through my mind, I wasn't in such a bad state as in that battle, so even though I was furious, my mind was still calm as I analyzed everything that happened and listened until now.

"(So he put all his hopes in this shitty plan, he can't see anything else and is willing to make all the necessary sacrifices believing that he will save much more with his plan.)" (me)

Sigh

"You are pathetic! If your plan fails, then..." (me)

"Sir..." (Okan)

"..." (everyone)

Suddenly a voice echoes from all over the room at the same time before a shadow rises behind me like a small Dragon's head stretching to where I am next to my ears speaking in whispers using Aura for only me to hear.

"Sir, it seems that Hades is in trouble, the area where he is has been completely isolated from my senses." (Okan)

"Thank you for letting me know." (me)

Okan returns to the shadows, disappearing from the environment as I close my eyes using my connection with Hades to reach him, but what I saw for an instant left me a little shocked even though I hid it without showing anything.

What shocked me the most was feeling Hades' emotions, even though he was furious, I also felt other emotions that I didn't expect from him

"(Hades, do you want me to intervene...?)" (me)

"(Master Zenos!?)" (Hades)

"(It's not what you think... I... I...)" (Hades)

"(I'll just release you since you don't seem to be completely against it, so get even on your own.)" (me)

A great fluctuation of Divine power and chaos power flows from me to Hades before I cut my connection with him, I honestly couldn't help but look at the Serpent woman next to Davoth for an instant before letting everything go.

"(I think it's best not to think about it too much...)" (me)

"Did something happen?" (Elizabeth)

"It did, but it's already been resolved... where were we?" (me)

"You were about to punch Davoth and maybe rip his head off." (Lena)

"Please, this is no time for jokes." (Davoth)

"Who said this was a joke? Did you really think Zenos' anger is all he's showing now?" (Cortana)

"I'm not going to lie, what she said crossed my mind as well as many other things." (me)

Sigh

"I'm tired and irritated, seeing you making excuses when in the end, it all comes down to you carrying out your plan." (me)

"I don't know if you're overconfident or just pathetic." (me)

Even with my words, Davoth seems unaffected by my words, he just nods as if he was not the target of my contempt.

"What I seek is not just to destroy the Ascendants, if that were all there were many ways to do it, but each of those options would lead to the destruction of many universes as well as many lives being lost." (Davoth)

"The universes taken over by the Ascendants are full of people, both people taken by force and people who were already born there." (Davoth)

"People who were born in a universe that possesses the power of the Ascendant Law cannot survive outside of these universes, their bodies and even their Souls are incapable of accepting the power of the natural cycle, their energy pathways are too rigid and incapable of adapting, their minds perceive the world rationally and lack creativity, their instincts are mostly non-existent with a few exceptions." (Davoth)

"Killing the Ascendants would lead to the collapse of the Ascendant Law in all these universes and consequently to the death of such large numbers of people that most civilizations do not have names for these numbers." (Davoth)

"The deaths that the Ascendants carried out here would be like a grain of sand compared to what we would be doing by killing them all." (Davoth)

"..." (me)

"Is he telling the truth?" (Selene)

"Unfortunately, yes." (Lena)

"Does his plan have a chance of succeeding?" (me)

"Yes, but he only has one chance that will generate 3 possibilities." (Cortana)

"Integrate these universes into the universal network of the Tree of Creation." (Cortana)

"Merge all the Universes into a single large universe." (Lena)

"He could also destroy everything by creating a Universal Entity like Tarzor that would force all these people into Reincarnation, thus altering their Souls into bodies that would only then be able to live freely." (Cortana)

"That last one can't even be considered an option, most wouldn't support it and I'm not sure if the creature generated would be less worse than the Ascendants." (Davoth)

"Anyway, I need 2 things to put the plan into practice: the Anomalous Dragons, who possess the second type of Anomalous power and are the complete opposite of the Ascendants, being extremely adaptable as well as being creatures with a strong primitive instinct." (Davoth)

"The second thing would be the power of Chaos, only this power could transform the universes and shape them into something that could save them all, as well as transform the Ascendants into a different race integrated with natural power." (Davoth)

"I don't like this, there are so many problems with it that I don't even know where to start..." (me)

I didn't like this plan, but there was nothing I could do.
