Will of chaos



Alliance talks just weren't going forward, our side being led by my sister Elizabeth and Orsel delivered what according to them could be guaranteed to deliver, but nothing seemed to hold more value to Astrid than the Blessings of the Gods for your people. 

Astrid's information about an enemy my sister clearly hates and an enemy she refused to talk about is something everyone here wants to know, I'm just not sure how they are judging the value of this information and whether or not they have alternatives to find out. 

I could just see that my sister was the most patient to keep the negotiations going without showing anything, at some point Orsel just stopped trying to argue leaving everything in my sister's hands, Zadiris and Uraha just watched in silence, meanwhile the others closed down eyes doing nothing for the rest of the time. 

I noticed that the woman named Miriam grew more impatient with each passing hour, but Astrid didn't give up on trying to find something to help her people in place of a God's Blessing as it seemed like it wasn't possible. 

Several things were discussed, more esoteric solutions that was the moment when those next to me started to enter the conversation with my sister asking for her opinions. 

"What do you think of transforming their bodies using the help of Vampires, Werewolves, and Demons?" (Elizabeth) 

"Those possibilities came to be…" (Astrid) 

"I'm sorry to be rude, but this time the question wasn't directed at you, Mrs. Astrid." (Elizabeth) 

"I want to know the opinion of the Death Goddess Champion, Ivan." (Elizabeth) 

I look at Ivan who hasn't even moved since the moment he sat down in his chair, only the blue flames flickering in the void of his eye sockets. 

"Impossible, any physical transformation necessary to change the Race or even evolution is drastic to the body, but it needs a certain preparation for the Soul, something that everyone in this universe has since birth in preparation for the changes of evolution, their souls already come prepared for it." (Ivan) 

"But people from Miss Astrid's universe don't have this characteristic, their souls are not so easily adapted, it would be possible to transform their bodies into another race, but their Souls will negate their bodies leading them to death." (Ivan) 

I look at Ivan wondering when he learned about these things, maybe it was even the Goddess Kalistos who told him that, which I soon confirmed. 

"The Goddess Kalistos says you have already been informed of this." (Ivan) 

"..." (Astrid) 

"Yes, your Santa has come to us before and was kind enough to explain something similar to us." (Miriam) 

"As I've been saying from the beginning, we've tried many things, many ideas have been thought about and discarded, the race change that is so easy in this world was also one of those discarded ideas." (Astrid) 

"What does my mother say, Vanessa?" (Elizabeth) 

"Their transformation process into Vampires would be drastic, she could do something with the Soul, but it would be too high a risk and if you take these two as an example, then they are not compatible to receive her blessing." (Vanessa) 

"Diana, would the Beast Men transformation at the Full Moon Ceremony be possible?" (Elizabeth) 

"No, they would just turn into monsters, their minds would be consumed by their instincts, ordinary people would be even worse for not having enough willpower to survive this Ceremony." (Diana) 

"As you can see there are almost no options for your people's situation, you could make everyone enter Temples and Churches with devout faith to try their luck to get a Blessing, but would your people be so devout?" (Elizabeth) 

"No, my people don't have much faith in Gods, even now they find it hard to believe, nor can I choose something so uncertain with thousands of lives under my responsibility at risk." (Astrid) 

"..." (Elizabeth) 

"..." (I) 

Her speech now was something that I enjoyed hearing, she has been showing only education, wisdom, boldness, and concern throughout this Meeting, this was the first time that she said something that showed her level of resolution to risk something that guarantees the safety of her people even without knowing if there is anything to help her in this situation. 

I looked at my sister and saw her raise an eyebrow, she didn't say anything, but I saw a glint in her eyes as she turned to me, then closed her eyes taking her thumb to her forehead for a massage while weighing for a few seconds, then looked for Zadiris. 

"Lady Zadiris, what do you think of the Awakening Ceremony? Would it be useful to them?" (Elizabeth) 

"No, just listening to her I can tell that all of her people are struggling with despair, it shows a deficiency in their willpower, there is also the case that they don't have elemental Affinities as they don't have the ability to conduct energy naturally in their bodies." (Zadiris) 

"No Dragon that I know of including other Elder Dragons and the Dragon Emperor himself would be capable of this, a certain level of individual compatibility is required." (Zadiris) 

"..." (Astrid) 

Lady Astrid seems to think about everything she heard, but she seems to have given up, but her emotions are transparent in her Aura and eyes, there is a growing hopelessness in her, and listening to her few opportunities closing one at a time like this must be difficult. 

I look at my sister and it looks like she is happy, she even formed a smile and eyes at me again, she looked like she wanted to say something. 

But instead of speaking she made the conversation go round in circles for another 2 hours when someone tried to speak more than once to interrupt the meeting or end it as it got nowhere, she interrupts the person to keep the meeting going, I don't know what she's up to, but at this point, everyone can tell she's waiting for something. 

It was then that it happened, one of the Dragonewts with star marks came close to Navar saying something in her ear that no one else heard due to the interference of her Aura to block the sound. 

"Looks like a Grade 5, Risk 1 Wave of Monsters is approaching, they all seem to be the same type, Death Locusts." (Navar) 

"How many approximately?" (Orsel) 

"From the report, it was estimated at around 1 million, but it is believed to be less than that." (Navar) 

"At that size, there's a good chance of being a Queen, probably more than one." (Orsel) 

"It doesn't change much, it just means someone with brains in charge rather than creatures with no intelligence, it makes it more predictable what they will do." (Zadiris) 

"I'll get in touch with squads 12 through 18, that should be enough." (Orsel) 

"Seriously, you want to train people now? Send squad 3 to finish them off, it will be faster." (Zadiris) 

"This is a good opportunity to train newbies, I don't need efficiency, I want them to learn in practice..." (Orsel) 

"I have a suggestion I'd like to be heard if possible." (Elizabeth) 

Suddenly my sister intrudes on the conversation of the people in charge of Frontier City, but reading what she said has also been part of this leadership since the foundation, so it must be fine. 

"What do you want, Mistress Elizabeth?" (Orsel) 

"Let only my brother handle them." (Elizabeth) 

"..." (all) 

"..." (I) 

"No." (I) 

"I'm sorry ma'am, but even though their individual strength is weak, their numbers are risky for small groups like…" (Orsel) 

"I didn't speak of groups, just let my brother and his Familiars take care of everything." (Elizabeth) 

"Interesting..." (Zadiris) 

"..." (Navar) 

"I'm not playing your games this time." (I) 

"I forgot to say that these monsters are insect type and have hundreds of variations that can be associated with jobs, they also have delicious blood, they are creatures that only walk in large groups like this among the stars." (Elizabeth) 

"(Blood... means they have bloodlines... I haven't gotten something new between bloodlines in a while... they also seem to be insect-type, I don't have many like that...)" (I) 

"(An insect-type monster... interesting...)" (I) 

"With that number, there must be more than one Queen, are you sure about that?" (Orsel) 

"Okay, I guess I can do that for you, but is there a good reason for this show?" (I) 

"Orsel, don't worry and Zenos, I have my reasons." (Elizabeth) 

"..." (I) 

"Alright... then I'm going..." (I) 

"Lord Zenos..." (Hades) 

"Stay here, this is a good opportunity to fight seriously with my Familiars, you still need more training." (I) 

"..." (Hades) 

"(Are you sure you want to fight without knowing the enemy?)" (Orion) 

"(His sister wouldn't put up an impossible fight for him.)" (Sakura) 

"(I don't know what she wants, but it's clearly some kind of show of strength, so expect an uphill fight.)" (I) 

As much as I was warning my Familiars about a tough fight, I was excited, I'm always getting attacked by monsters due to my luck, but there are few times where I have a really tough fight. 

I walk to the edge of the dome managing to see through the illusion, my Familiars stepping out of my shadow one at a time to stand beside me before spreading my wings and flying out. 

Unlike walking out of a place with a beautiful blue sky straight into a galactic landscape, I take a deep breath not air, as there is no such thing in space, but the raw energy I feel in every corner. 

Then I look in a direction where I see a cloud of colored dots coming in the direction I am, I look to the direction behind me and I see the city with several Golems positioning themselves to defend far behind me, it must be to catch any enemy that pass me or all of them if I fail. 

"Let's start?" (I)
