When everyone woke up I noticed that Xagar and Fiona were a little confused, Kiara was perfectly fine and didn’t ask any questions, as soon as she opened her eyes she got on her knees in front of me and I could swear her eyes were shining in a scary way.
The only one who acted a little normal was Zaya, she opened her eyes and checked where she was as she got up knowing that we had returned to the same place as earlier, she wasn’t confused by what happened and didn’t act strangely like Kiara.
With everything resolved, I left the two Saints explaining everything to them while I went to the center of the sacred ritual that they have been creating.
"Why are you going to do it like this? Wouldn’t it be better to do it in the Communal Temple?" (Nix)
"I can’t do that, it could be dangerous for several reasons." (I)
Doing the Herald Ascension ceremony with Xagar, Fiona and Kiara may be different from how I did it before, Hades and the others who were already my Divine Servants, had also been created by me making the whole process very easy.
I’m not sure how things will happen now, I hope it will be as easy as before, but if that’s not the case, I want to avoid being around Divine Statues of various Gods so there won’t be any kind of unforeseen circumstances.
"Zaya, stay with the others, it looks like everyone is here and I’ll get started." (I)
"Karina, get together with Alice and stay away with everyone." (I)
"Nix, stay by Xagar’s side." (I)
"Layla, stay by Kiara’s side." (I)
"Sakura, stay by Fiona’s side." (I)
"Yes!" (all)
Everyone acted as I pointed out, in the end my other Familiars and my 3 Heralds who arrived to see the show gathered in a more distant place, I concentrated releasing my Aura and Authority to take over the space around me.
"< Territory: Ruler >" (I)
"< Garden of Stellar Eclipse >" (I)
This time I use my Essences in the process of creating a Territory and as there is a lot of Sacred Power in the area that belongs to me, the Territory becomes even stronger, integrating everything perfectly.
Suddenly what is revealed is the emptiness of space with countless stars everywhere, all around it was possible to see many Crystal Flowers shining like stars floating in the void, streams of power connect the stars like rivers of pure energy forming constellations in the process, but following all the energy flows it was possible to draw the contours of a tree with a large Eclipse present right in the part that would be the trunk.
"(The shadow of this tree is everywhere, I have to find out more about it later.)" (I)
With everything finished I assume my Dragon form which feels more comfortable in this Territory, when I do this and start to fly I notice a crystal path that forms between the stars and crystal flowers, on this path I found several shadowy shapes and 6 people that I make float to me.
I divide the 6 into pairs and with a movement of my head 3 crystal flowers grow, absorbing the Sacred power and a specific Essence each.
For the duo of Nix and Xagar the crystal flower absorbed the Spiritual Essence of Chaos, the flower became a reflection of the stars around it with its large crystal petals containing their own stars inside, the middle part became liquid with a perfectly round lake reflecting the stars like a mirror as well as the images of those walking on its surface without sinking.
For the duo of Sakura and Fiona, the crystal flower absorbed the Essence of the Tree of Stellar Corruption, the crystal flower grows larger than the other, gaining more vivid colors such as red, purple and black, contrasting with the other two colors, the petals they stretch out, creating small gardens each while a tree with a black trunk and ethereal red leaves grows in the middle of the flower, radiating a natural feeling.
For the duo of Layla and Kiara, the crystal flower absorbed the Magical Essence of the Penumbra Fairies, the crystal flower grew larger than all the others and each petal became an island of a different environment like an island of flowers, an island with a miniature mountain range, an island with an erupting volcano, an island with a small forest of fruit trees, an island that looked like a glacier with so much snow and ice, an island that looked like a desert, one of the petals of flower was just a stretch filled with water that looks like a big lake and there was even a petal that was showing a normal island full of spatial fractures slowly destroying the island.
The flower where Layla was was by far the most complex, even without counting the petals that had all these different environments, the middle part had the exact same mansion taken over by nature as her Magical Kingdom with the garden surrounding where the two were, the Most surprising was seeing a sun and moon circling above the mansion.
The size of each of the 3 flowers did not symbolize anything and I knew that, but at the same time I was not sure how all of this was created, I could only assume that the Essences created all of this by being inserted into crystal flowers and perhaps reacting to the My family.
"I am starting." (I)
Unlike the past, I no longer need to create that stupid diagram for fear of doing something wrong, I learned how to do it and that’s why I moved to a Territory like that, I should have done the same with Hades and the others.
"< Divine Incarnation: 83% >" (I)
My Dragon body changes as the illusory Essence Core within me pulses with my Authority and a spark of Divinity rises like a true Sun within me.
My Dragon body gains more of my human characteristics as my power increases, I use my Aura to share this Divine Power with the entire Territory created by me, before moving on to the next part.
I cut my wrists using my Dragon teeth, my blood flows towards the 3 flowers taking different shapes in each one.
On the flower where Sakura was, the blood became the dew on the tree’s leaves.
The flower where Nix stood became a Dragon swimming below the surface of the lake.
The flower where Layla was standing became a red mist that covered the entire mansion, giving it an even more mystical air than it already had.
This time I separated directly into the 3 Essences, highlighting a part of these Essences before letting it flow to their respective flowers.
Magic Essence of the Penumbra Fairies
Chaos Spiritual Essence
Essence of the Star Corruption Tree
I exactly used my Divinity to extract a part of these 3 Essences and let it flow into their respective flowers, this also made the Holy Power within the Territory move as if a storm was about to start.
The Essences guided by my power are inserted into my blood in each of the flowers, then my Divine power comes together and I see the reactions.
In Nix’s flower the Blood Dragon that previously appeared to be made of energy now had an Eclipse in each eye as it came out of the lake flying around Xagar before colliding with him entering his body, Nix uses her own Essence to help Xagar as their flower finds itself standing within a column of pure power.
In the Sakura flower, their Essence was inserted into the dew drops on the leaves of that tree, my power guides these drops of blood to fall like rain on Fiona and form a cyclone around her, Sakura uses the tree to surround Fiona with the leaves of the tree in an attempt to help her, a column of energy forms with her flower in the middle.
In Layla’s flower the mist moved like a storm cloud with the eye of the hurricane being Kiara, lightning of multicolored energies hit her body continuously and Layla steals the energy from the surroundings of each petal of her flower to help Kiara, with this another column of energy rises up taking the entire flower where they are inside.
Nothing was heavy or difficult to do, it was just as easy as it was with Hades and the others before, that was a great relief for me.

With the three columns of energy in front of me, I was happy with what I had accomplished, I was also suffering nothing other than a certain feeling of lightness as if a weight I didn’t even know I was carrying was suddenly lifted.
But this brief happiness was short-lived when I saw the notifications and only got worse when I saw the next ones to the point where I almost went into shock.
