NOVPUBI knew something was wrong, Blood Sin was talking much more easily now and seemed very excited to the point of being scary.
I did my best to continue healing while thinking about everything I’ve been through, I’m still not sure what the Blood Silhouettes mean, but it’s undeniable that I only started hearing her faint, short voice after arriving in the city.
If I think that blood creatures had the ability to make my blood run wild out of control, then they must be a representation of Blood Sin’s wild out of control.
I don’t know if I’m right, but it’s the only thing that makes sense, the same goes for dark creatures, I know that their attacks affect emotions just like blood creatures’ attacks affect blood.
There is also a second thing I noticed from the shadow creatures, after finishing off a large group of them, at some point, they started to show expressions of different negative emotions, their presence also showed these emotions, which makes me assume they represent the negative emotions within of Blood Sin.
I don’t know how right I am or if I’m completely wrong, but it makes sense to me, I also understand why she needed the power of chaos to improve, the power of chaos transforms things, it can convert negative emotions into power and transmute everything the body into something different, would solve the two problems that these two types of creatures represent.
Sigh
"That’s not enough, that was damage to my Soul, wasn’t it?" (I)
"Yes, but don’t complain about a few scratches on your Soul, it’s not a big deal." (Blood Sin)
"This is my Soul, so I’ll complain all I want." (I)
I was emotionally tired and didn’t even know this was possible, my body was healing at a snail’s speed even using my Blood Transmutation Essence.
I looked to the side where Blood Sin was standing, she was just a completely transparent and colorless image, all I could see was the outline of her body and hear her voice.
"When are you going to get me out of this damn place?" (I)
"I’m not taking you out of here, I don’t even know how you got here." (Blood Sin)
"Wait, weren’t you the one who brought me here?" (I)
"No, do you think I would be able to create something as pathetic as that, these blood and shadow creatures are humiliating to me, I can feel what they represent and if you are not a complete idiot you must have realized after fighting for so long." (Blood Sin)
"The shadow creatures represent negative emotions, that was pretty obvious, but the blood creatures I can only assume is the out of control of your blood." (I)
"You were wrong, you idiot, the answer was obvious, they represent those I killed due to my lack of control, why do you think they had different forms than me?" (Blood Sin)
"I want to beat you up for creating all of this, you basically printed the most ridiculous thing on me to rub it in front of my eyes." (Blood Sin)
"I didn’t create..." (I)
"Shut up, your power created this place, everything here came into existence the moment your power touched my Soul, you yourself were pulled by the power itself." (Blood Sin)
"..." (I)
I wasn’t using an Awakening Ceremony with her, so I shouldn’t have such a strong connection with her.
"(Wait, was that because of this lack of connection, what should have been automatic became manual?)" (I)
In an Awakening Ceremony, all this would be done automatically, as I didn’t do this my power detected the problems and dragged me to fix it manually, this was ridiculous to the point that I passed my hand over my face without believing that this was the answer, I hoped it wasn’t something so ridiculous.
Sigh
"Just get me out of here." (I)
"I already told you that I don’t know how you arrived alone and you will leave on your own or I will crush you until you leave, of course after you finish." (Blood Sin)
"What are you talking about, I’m done, I’m done with all the blood creatures and dark creatures." (I)
"You idiot, you’re not done yet." (Blood Sin)
As she spoke, a shiver ran down my spine, I didn’t want to stay in this damn place, but then I saw her pointing in a direction and I noticed a building at the end of a street falling apart, so I started looking around and found some buildings falling apart, there were few of them and with time more of them were falling apart, I could feel the danger.
"What will I face now?" (I)
"I don’t know, but I can feel like I have to deal with this." (Blood Sin)
"Then can I leave? Aahh!!" (I)
"Even you must have understood that you will only leave when you finish what you came to do, don’t try to act like a child just because of your laughable size." (Blood Sin)
"Then how can I leave?" (I)
"You said yourself that you feel like you have to fight for yourself, do you want me to sit there and watch you beat up a part of you?" (I)
"It’s going to be a lot more fun than that." (Blood Sin)
Suddenly I looked away from the crumbling city and looked at Blood Sin, even with his transparent appearance I could see the smile in his eyes as well as on his lips, it made every hair on my body raise shivers.
"..." (I)
"You may not know, but while you were fighting the last waves of dark creatures, I tried attacking some before and also after they lost the first layer of darkness, but I didn’t cause any kind of damage." (Blood Sin)
"You know what I mean, don’t you?" (Blood Sin)
"No, I don’t understand and I guarantee I won’t understand." (I)
"Funny you think you have a choice...what are you doing?" (Blood Sin)
I raised my hand and tried to interfere with the power of the Dragon Seal, I was trying very hard and still, I was not able to even feel it, but then channel my Authority and the power of my Dragon Totem, only then did I feel the Dragon Seal resonate slightly.
"I am not a tool and as much as I am fulfilling our agreement, my patience with your insults has a limit." (I)
"I have agreed to something with you and I plan to fulfill it, but I have no reason to become a tool in your hands." (I)
Whatever is brewing after this dark city disappears, be it one great enemy or billions of them, none of it will matter I will fight the best I can, I saved my Divine Incarnation for a moment like this.
But I will not become a tool in the hands of Blood Sin who only stepped on me all this time, honor and such things have no value to me, but I still have the self-respect to not work with those who do not respect me in the slightest.
"..." (Blood Sin)
"Smart kid, it’s okay...what do you want, I can feel like I need to do this myself and I don’t know if you doing it in my place will have the same effect, I can’t miss this opportunity, what do you want." (Blood Sin)
"I want two things, the first is your respect, I don’t care about the way you talk and act, but don’t try to humiliate or put me down all the time, respect what I am, respect who I am, and respect those around me as people who didn’t do anything to you." (I)
"Second, I want your help when fighting the Church of Light, with Yntra focusing on the past they are the only enemy still openly targeting us, but sooner or later I will have to face them and I’m sure that even becoming a God I won’t stand a chance against Baldr." (I)
"Deal, the second part is almost a gift, but I’ll try not to treat you so badly... happy now?" (Blood Sin)
"..." (I)
"I’ll know in time." (I)
She very happily accepted my terms, she seems to be a combat freak like Natasha, so I can understand the excitement of joining the fight against the Church of Light, but the part about her changing the way she treats me was accepted too easily for me to believe.
"Don’t look at me like that and don’t think too much, I have nothing against you child, in fact, your feats are impressive for someone your age and an Outsider who came from a peaceful world." (Blood Sin)
"How do you know..." (I)
"The Goddess Selene hides almost nothing from me since I’m always around, I was there the day you were born, the day you first evolved and the day you brought the Saint of Baldr to the Goddess Selene." (Blood Sin)
"What you ask is easy to do, why wouldn’t I agree?" (Blood Sin)
She seems to be telling the truth and she really has nothing against me, no matter how rude and disrespectful she treats me, she has also never crossed the line to the point of having something against her, perhaps the stress of all these battles could have led me to be a little prejudiced against her.
"What are you thinking of doing next." (I)
"What’s more, you’ll be a weapon in my hands against that." (Blood Sin)
Blood Sin points in a downward direction, I can’t see anything, but soon the ground seems to become transparent revealing a lake of darkness where something was pulsing inside, all the darkness of the city was falling like a waterfall there crossing the ground.
I could see a silhouette form within the darkness with each heartbeat, there seemed to be a different heart than the others there, and each of these heartbeats was heavy.
Most likely it is a giant creature, besides, I can understand the logic of Blood Sin ending your inner darkness by itself, it may seem obvious, and yet the truth has its complexities.
"My real body in this place is up there, when it starts there will be little time and I hope I can count on you." (Blood Sin)
"I’ll be ready." (I)
When I looked up I saw something move and a new sun formed next to the previous one, the two Suns have a crack in the middle, it wasn’t difficult to realize that they were eyes, her body must be bigger than this whole place.
"I hope that after this it will all be over." (I)
