Will of chaos



After everyone calmed down and I was taken back to the Communal Temple, that's when my body seemed to return to normal and even then I still felt something strange that I only stopped feeling when I returned to the blood fountain near my statue. 

For the next few hours Érica, Diana, Ibuki, and Kira talked to me about everything that happened during my unconscious time and about something that no one else had told me about. 

I ran to the third floor of the Communal Temple entering one of the doors, there I found Karina, Alice, Veronica, Loki, and Athena lying unconscious, I tried to get close to them, but Barok appeared to stop me. 

"I'm sorry, my Lord, but can't I let you near them?" (Barok) 

"What's going on here? Did someone ask you to do this?" (I) 

"I'm the one who asked him that, good to see you awake Dad." (Vanessa) 

Vanessa appears as she bends down to give me a hug. 

"Your sisters can tell you better by explaining everything, but in short, if you go near them it will make the situation worse." (Vanessa) 

"..." (I) 

"So this is where you were." (Caitlyn) 

Suddenly my vision becomes blurred and the next thing I know I am on a large piece of rock floating in space along with many others, Caitlyn is sitting on one of the rare ones upside down looking at me. 

"I won't go to the trouble of berating you for what you've done, I've had my share of impulsive things I've done." (Caitlyn) 

"Are we in a dream?" (I) 

"No, we are in a nightmare created by me inside my head, your body must be on the floor now since you lost consciousness again." (Caitlyn) 

"What happened to Alice, Karina, and the others?" (I) 

"You happened, a Saint is linked to his Divinity, his own Soul cracked and changed because of what he did, it had a big effect on his Saints, and even his Heroes were forced into a different state because of you." (Caitlyn) 

I didn't know that technique could do something against people who weren't even present that day. 

"How can I wake them up?" (I) 

"When your Soul, body, and Authority are in order again, only then will your Saints awaken." (Caitlyn) 

"How do I do that?" (I) 

"Same as always, training." (Caitlyn) 

Before I could understand what she was trying to say, my body was pulled by tentacles into a portal that appeared behind me.

Pov Vanessa: 

Sigh 

My Father suddenly fell to the ground already unconscious, Barok picks him up in his arms and following my instructions takes him to the blood fountain near his Statue. 

"Does he really need to do this?" (I) 

"Yes, the first step is understanding himself, he won't be able to do this without Caitlyn in the state he is in right now." (Elizabeth) 

"Will there be any consequences when it comes to an end?" (I) 

"I don't know, I don't think anyone knows, I've never heard about what he did, I'm not even sure what the change will be at the end." (Elizabeth) 

"But while Caitlyn takes care of him, we have other things to attend to." (Elizabeth) 

"It's already been resolved, Elsaris has already left for his investigation, Hades is also on his way to the place you pointed out and I haven't spoken to the others yet." (I) 

"That's always a lot of work, but it'll be good for him." (Elizabeth) 

"He won't like it." (I) 

"It doesn't matter, he needs it, the way things are going to be bad for him, his influence is still very small." (Elizabeth) 

"I wanted to go too..." (I) 

"You going doesn't help your Father, your main duty is still with the Blood Goddess, so continue with the process of creating the Blood Paladins, Natasha already said that she waits for you." (Elizabeth) 

"I'll get back to that now." (I) 

During the months when my Father was unconscious many things happened, the Church of Light stopped acting in silence and they joined with the Temple of Law in their incursions to bring order to the worst places of the universes, but nobody knows what exactly they are doing. 

The Apostles of Truth are also on the move, we got word from someone of them in a certain world, the first lead we've had in months, so we couldn't pass this up. 

One thing we also discovered was the increase in first generation monsters being generated due to the instability of the raw energy flow of the universe, because of this the Waves of Monsters are more and more frequent both on the surface of the Worlds and in the immensity of the universe. 

One thing we've also recently discovered is Creatures of the Abyss sightings, so far it hasn't been done in large groups, but it sure seems to be seeing some activity from them. 

Sigh 

"There are so many things to be done." (I) 

--------------- 

Pov Oros (Light Guardian Divine Beast): 

I was looking at the wreckage of the Moon, to defend myself from that attack I had to hit head-on, I was caught off guard but I was still able to stop the waves of energy from spreading to the world. 

"That power, how did he do that or maybe it wasn't him, I'm sure for a moment I felt the power of more than a single God..." (I) 

"Was he just a means to get to us or was he just helping them get away?" (I) 

I looked at the moon in front of me, almost half of it was destroyed deforming its shape, its pieces becoming big islands floating around it, parts of its powers were still there, and one of the lunar islands had a real forest that grew in a matter of minutes weeks, another had the space deformed inside enlarging the inside area which was a silver desert where thousands of beast-type monsters spawned daily like a perpetual Monster Wave, there was also an island filled with black clouds of miasma and death energy, many spectral type monsters were appearing there. 

Those were just the biggest lunar islands, there were still smaller ones, even more of them to the point where he was considering destroying everything and creating a new Moon. 

Sigh 

"It would take a few years to create and tweak a new Moon, it would be a waste of time and energy to do that." (I) 

"(It would be easier if my lord was still paying attention in this world, but he is preparing for what is to come.)" (I) 

I look up at the moon one more time, somehow I feel something else is out of place, but I can't figure out what it could be. 

"(I must be thinking too much, there are many things wrong with this Moon, better avoid others coming here in the future.)" (I) 

-------------- 

Pov Elsaris: 

I was walking hand in hand with Samira, we were walking around in overly colorful dresses as she pulled me into every shop we passed, I don't know how she can have so much energy. 

"Sister, please..." (I) 

Sigh 

"Let's just go to one more store, please..." (Samira) 

"You said that 3 stores ago." (I) 

"(You know why we're here, I know I said try to act natural, but at least try to be more discreet.)" (I) 

"(I know, but I'm not doing this for nothing, the stores I entered are the busiest and I felt that we were being especially watched from below in one of the stores.)" (Samira) 

"(It was Lilian, I asked her to disguise herself in the crowd to observe our surroundings for anyone out of our reach.)" (I) 

"(That explains it, so what should we do, other than keep looking at the busiest stores, I have no other idea.)" (Samira) 

We were talking like friends or something as we walked around town and just really talking telepathically with a technique others couldn't figure out. 

"(I think we better go to plan B, we've been in this city for 4 days, but we haven't found anything.)" (I) 

"(They can sense us.)" (Samira) 

"(We don't have many options, if we delay too much we run more chances of being exposed, we can also be discovered in many ways.)" (I) 

"(I don't think it will be necessary, I smelled a strange blood, it must be our target.)" (Lilian) 

The place where we were was a world where only two races lived, the Runics and the Elves, those of other races tend to come from other worlds, which is very rare by my investigation, so we are using techniques to pass ourselves off as Runics, the worst is hiding my ears. 

When we enter the room Lilian steps out of one of the shadows so we all sit down to listen to what she has to say. 

"He looked like a Rune, but the energy around him was different, Runes absorb Mana through the Runes on their body whether they are visible or not, but that man was sucking the energy into his whole body instead of absorbing it naturally." (Lilian) 

"Haku told us that they can change their appearance easily, but it seems that they are not yet able to get down to the more detailed characteristics of the race." (I) 

"Did you follow him?" (I) 

"No, but I left a way to track him in his shadow, a small magic item." (Lilian) 

"Looks like we won't need plan B anymore." (Samira) 

"That if this is the target we want, we should investigate later, as soon as it gets dark we can start." (I)
