NOVPUBPov Elizabeth’s:
I could see the clarity in Bloodsin’s gaze, something I only saw when my Mother was beside her, she dragged Greed’s body to where we were, her body was formed purely of blood with Symbols shining all over her body.
She throws the now sealed Demon God at our feet, then looks up at the tree where Zenos was smiling, I couldn’t help but be surprised at the rare display of emotions.
"< Claim >" (Blood Sin)
Her power spreads painting the surroundings in blood, it was a terrible sight to see so much blood rising from the ground like tsunamis spreading in all directions.
Wherever the blood passed the landscape changed, no longer a city full of treasures, but instead becoming an entirely different world, I could feel the changes happening before we were sent out.
From start to finish she didn’t utter a single word, and when they reappeared outside the Divine Realm, Greed’s blood form glowed as if it was crushed into a small sphere of crystallized blood, it was at that moment that I felt another type of natural energy creating a energy cube around him.
"Master is coming." (Hades)
When I looked where Hades pointed, I only saw the space bleeding when Blood Sin appeared carrying a small tree in her hands, floating.
"What are you doing?" (I)
"An exchange of favors..." (Blood Sin)
Suddenly the cube in my hands where the Demonic God of Greed was sealed flew into her hands just as one of Zenos’ Familiars appeared beside her.
"You know what to do, my seal will help." (Blood Sin)
"Thank you, the master also said that he will keep the agreement." (Sakura)
"I know he will, he has no other option." (Blood Sin)
"..." (I)
I wanted to talk, to know what was going on, it seems that Bloodsin makes some kind of deal with Zenos, but I don’t understand what she has to gain from it or how she is able to talk, this must be the first time I’ve heard your voice in thousands of years.
Soon Sakura holds the tree where Zenos is in one hand and the cube in the other before walking away, it was at that moment that I got everyone else spread across the Star System to act together, none of them seemed able to speak, and leave their places as well as I.
"After the boy finishes I will release you, I don’t like interruptions, questions, and unexpected things, so stay put where you are." (Blood Sin)
"..." (I)
"..." (all)
The whole time she didn’t look at us, she doesn’t seem to care about anything either, she must have pulled everyone here just to not disturb her in what she’s doing now, but I don’t like being in the dark like now.
"(Not even telepathy works.)" (I)
"(What’s going on here? How did Zenos manage to make a deal with her? When did he manage to talk to her? How can she maintain rationality to such a level?)" (I)
I had many questions running through my mind and a growing irritation at being treated this way, there are few times in my life that I have been so ignored and left aside.
"..." (I)
It was at this moment that the tree grew and grew a lot, they were in a very distant place, its tentacles were moving while the natural energy in the surroundings vibrated to the point that it felt like my suppressed Aura.
Soon Sakura also appears in her Eclipse Titan form touching the Zenos tree with one hand before I notice her curved fingers connecting to something glowing red on her other hand.
"(What did you do this time, Zenos?)" (I)
-----------------
Pov Zenos:
When Sakura finally arrived I shared my plans with her, I can move my body, or at least most of my body, but I’m not able to leave the independent place I’m in.
These bonds of Divine power are not only keeping me firmly locked in place, but they are also completely suppressing me to the point of not being able to use any type of energy, Aura, Authority, Holy Power, and even my Essences.
I’m limited to my body, only the power of chaos gets less restricted and even then I still can’t use it normally, so I need a way to do the rest, Sakura is the best option for countless reasons, the main one being her affinity with the Divinity Fragment I am trying to complete.
My plan was simple in a way, although risky, I would rob a burning house or more correctly, I would rob someone incapable of defending themselves, referring to the act of robbing a God like that is more than strange, and yet it was the best possible description.
I had no idea if I would be noticed or not, that’s because my plan was to steal something from the Divine Realm, some Fragment of Divinity or Essence that could have been stored here, but if I didn’t find anything I was prepared to use the connection of this place as a the Demonic God of Greed to get to him did not attempt to get something directly from him.
I would use my power as a way to detect what I needed while I would use Sakura as a sort of magnet or hook to fish out what I needed.
Sharing Sakura’s senses I noticed the God fighting in a more than destructive way to the point of causing damage to the Divine Kingdom full of his power as God, I can’t even imagine the level of combat and I prefer not to know to be honest.
As expected, using the power of the Essences together, mainly the power of the Essence of Chaos and the Essence of the Apocalypse Beast, I managed to superficially harmonize with this Divine Realm while suffering rejection and with that I used Sakura’s natural Affinity to looking for what we needed by finding just a reaction, a Fragment of Divinity that I managed to suck from Sakura, but unfortunately that didn’t seem to be enough, at least it gave me a parameter that I need 2 more Fragments of Divinity or 1 complete Essence.
Unfortunately, I didn’t find anything suitable for me and I didn’t try to steal other Essences and Fragments of Awakening that I won’t need, the reason being my inability to contain this type of power, so I only looked for what was suitable for me and that can be controlled for me.
With no further way to search here in the Divine Realm, I needed to resort to going against the Demon God more actively, I would need to steal directly from him, which could draw his advance to me.
As soon as I tried to do this I was noticed, I found the connection of the Divine Realm and the Demon God of Greed, but as soon as I tried to tap that connection to get to him I was discovered, half of Sakura’s body simply disappeared as if it had never existed while I received this damage directly to my Soul along with some crumbling branches.
"(This power... yes, that is the answer... this is the power she spoke of... what she promised me.)"
But it seems that I did something right too, seconds after that I heard a voice not in my mind, but directly in my Soul that began to recover, Sakura who was passed out with the only half of her body being held by me, also began to recover how.
"(This bloodline, this Authority, this Aura, and this Essence derived from blood... you are her son, I remember her saying something about it, so she fulfilled her promise, finally, finally!)"
The voice seemed very excited, I wanted to talk to it, find out who it was, I had my suspicions that it was the Divine Beast that my sisters spoke of, the creature that makes them worry.
"(I know what you’re thinking and you guessed who I am, your power seems to be what I need and so I’m going to make a trade with you.)"
"(I realized that you were trying to invade the body of this Demonic God, it was at that moment that my consciousness became clear enough to take advantage of the gap that his surprise caused, that’s why I defeated him so quickly, I’ll finish sealing him before give it to you to continue with whatever you’re doing, but in return I want you to grant me this power.)"
As she spoke I felt the power of Chaos being sucked out of me, she didn’t seem to care much about my opinion, and the exchange she’s talking about doesn’t seem like a suggestion, she speaks as if it were a right thing to do.
"(I’ll even prepare a special gift, so don’t forget our agreement.)"
She didn’t ask my opinion at any point, but she had other things she needed to do now besides think about her.
With everything going so well I just played along, thanks to that I now have Sakura completely recovered and everyone out of that Divine Realm with the Demonic God of Greed now sealed in one of Sakura’s hands while I’m touching the other hand.
