Chapter 1265 Cap 1263: My will is stronger! Part 6
As soon as the Gates open and I see some light, I expected to see the same forest where I was forcibly sent to Hell by my sister, but what I see is complete Chaos.
In front of me, there was some kind of strange tentacle monster or that's what I thought before I noticed the rest.
I thought it was night, but I soon realized that the stars weren't just above me, they were in front of me, and to the sides, we are among the stars and no longer on the planet where I fought Natasha.
When I realized this I noticed several strange glows moving and in the void of space I was able to notice many Auras exploding, that's when I noticed many Dragons as well as people from the Dungeon fighting hordes of shapeless flesh monstrosities.
While I was still trying to understand what was happening my Aura, Authority and Sacred Power were pulsing within me, suddenly my mind became confused as I felt the connections that were once normal for me returning.
I could feel the connections with my two strongest Saints returning and that's when I noticed the two kneeling on the ground in front of me, my Aura and Authority interacting with theirs with Star Flames rising around them.
Soon the connection with my Family members came, which brought me more comfort since each one of them was very important to me, this time only my Aura reacted by extending through these new connections to them.
Then came the connections I have with the Divine Servants, this time it was my Authority that flows to them through our newly reformed connection.
Then my blood seemed to pulse within me as I could notice the connection of my lineage as my Children, this was the type of connection that I didn't even feel, something primitive and fundamental in me, I felt my vitality extending to everyone varying between more or less vitality, this was something I was doing on purpose when I felt they were hurt.
All of this happens at the same time in a matter of seconds while my decisions for all these connections coming back were made more by instinct than anything else, some things were done automatically while others were completely instinctive decisions.
My mind was confused mainly by what happened at the exact moment these connections came back.
All the prayers of my Saints came to me as well as a diary of everything that happened while I was away, but the most uncomfortable thing was being connected to the Communal Temple through them and from there feeling the prayers of the people of the Dungeon, it seemed that each one of them was standing for me at the same time as I felt the Holy Power gushing from me to the two Saints and then to the pool of blood which was empty before returning to me marking a cycle that left me momentarily in a trance.
While in this trance things became clearer to me as I realized I was sharing the senses of my Familiars seeing a weightless battlefield, something I had to stop doing to get my mind right.
I also noticed with my power 7 new connections, 3 of them instinctively caught my attention, but I didn't know the reason for that and I just felt the power of chaos in those bonds.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOf the other new connections that I didn't know about, 2 were completely new and weaker, making me leave it temporarily aside, 1 connection was as deep as the 3 that I gave importance to first, it took me a few milliseconds to notice that this connection had been redone from scratch and belonged to Freya, for some reason my power of nature was flowing along with hers in an endless cycle of harmony.
The last connection was something strange for me, I had never felt anything like it, but I felt my Sacred Power and Authority flow naturally through this new connection without me realizing when it started.
So many things happened so quickly that it took me a while to calm down, when I realized my two Saints are holding me upright, I also noticed two of my sisters standing in front of me.
But through the space between them I once again saw the tentacled creature behind, this time I knew what it was, a planet, a damn planet made almost entirely of flesh with colossal tentacles.
"Can someone explain to me what's going on?" (I)
"We are facing the Apostles of Truth..." (Alice)
"It's going to take a lot of talking." (Elizabeth)
Elizabeth approaches, stretching out her finger that is covered in blood crystallizing into a claw that pierces my forehead, then I feel an orderly stream of information enter my mind at the same time that some of the things I received earlier began to fall into place.
Sigh
"Do you understand everything?" (Elizabeth)
"Yes, but where are the Demigods or Divine Beasts to deal with?" (I)
"The Saint of Life faced something in the category of a Deity, but we have no others." (Natasha)
"Gods do not directly interfere in the world if it is not necessary and the Demigods may seem many to you, but in fact, they are scarce compared to the entire universe." (Elizabeth)
"That's true, everyone has their own problems to deal with." (Natasha)
"Are you saying that a crisis that caused the destruction of an entire star system isn't enough to interfere?" (I)
"It's not enough for more of them to come here, entire worlds are destroyed every few centuries, there's no way to help everyone and you also have to be aware of your compatibility with the problem." (Elizabeth)
"If the Demigod of Fire appears here..." (Elizabeth)
"I don't think this is the time to discuss it so calmly." (Alice)
"But what is that thing?" (Karina)
"I knew it, they deceived us, their goals were..." (Natasha)
"..." (I)
The world was cracking, but it wasn't destroying itself, between the ever-widening cracks you could see flesh moving, and the entire planet was starting to look like modeling clay in someone's hands.
Strangely enough, the ocean of poison that was supposed to be swallowed by the cracks seemed alive as streams of purple energy were flowing over the tentacles.
"What's going on? Are you dying from the poison?" (I)
"The poison is killing him, but not fast enough, he is trying to become whole by discarding what he can't use." (Natasha)
As I was listening I saw parts of the planet being whipped by the tentacles, from the things that Elizabeth put in my head, these are the areas designated as Holy Land after my name.
"(Come to think of it, both those scattered areas and the poisonous ocean are made with all my accumulated Holy Power, can I use it somehow?)" (I)
"What should we do?" (Alice)
"The Vampires and Dragons are helping, yet we are only able to hit the tentacles head on without causing any real damage." (Alice)
"What did you discover when you went into that thing, Natasha?" (Elizabeth)
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"I understand what they are trying to do, a Divine Weapon." (Natasha)
"That's impossible, Greed has a broken divinity and knows what would happen if he tried to create one, while the Apostles of Truth are too far from Divinity to even try that." (Elizabeth)
"They absorbed all the power of the surrounding planets, but the minds of that planet's population were left alive being enslaved as part of that thing, their Souls screaming inside filled with fear, despair, and pain." (Natasha)
"Those things are being under the influence of another individual who I assumed to be the Mother of Truth, they have enough Faith and a lot of power, but the worst thing is that their plan was the same as that idiot's." (Natasha)
"Don't go around in circles, what are they doing and why did you call me an idiot?" (I)
"Wait, they don't...but it's different, Zenos is still a Demigod and even that was a surprise that he survived." (Elizabeth)
I'm no longer following the conversation as Elizabeth's eyes widen in shock, she looked at me while answering Natasha at the same time a half-broken sphere left Natasha's hands to fly around me, strangely it felt pleasant to be near this broken sphere orbiting around me.
"You're right, they will fail, but the spark of divinity from fusing all that energy and Souls will have already been created." (Natasha)
"Their stay was the spark, it will be at that moment when Greed and Yntra..." (Elizabeth)
"Please, at least say it in a way I can understand." (I)
"We came here thinking that their goal was to take the planet for themselves, then we realized the monstrosity they were turning the Planet into, but all of this was just the tip of a bigger sword." (Natasha)
"I saw the Saint of Life facing Greed who had a body capable of almost completely containing him, I knew he was only acting for himself here." (Elizabeth)
"At first I thought they were creating a Divine Weapon, just like you, they wanted to merge the different Authorities of nature itself together and explode it all, thus burning all the forms of energy they had accumulated so far creating a Divine Weapon." (Natasha)
"That would make sense, their information for such a thing must come from the Evil God, he probably planned to take the Divine Weapon at this time by deceiving his so far allies as well as us." (Elizabeth)
"I don't know about him, but Yntra is not stopping at this point, she who we know has somehow gained authority for herself, clearly doesn't want Divine Weapon, what she is doing now is pushing her already bad plan to the point of self-destruction by forcibly advancing for the final part." (Natasha)
"I don't know if she realized Greed's mistakes or if she had plans like this from the beginning, but she wants to steal the Spark of Divinity for herself, perhaps that could have been her plan from the beginning." (Elizabeth)
"I think I understand, but... what is a Divine Weapon?" (I)
"..." (all)
"..." (I)
