At that moment a wave of pain ran through everything that constitutes my existence, it was like a tsunami destroying everything in its path, cracks were heard throughout my body and I almost fell just holding on to the pain with willpower.
"Guhh!!" (I)
"Master... well...?" (Hinata)
"I’m fine..." (I)
Sigh
I wasn’t well, but I didn’t have time for these things, I have a lot to do and I might not even be able to sleep.
"You should thank our mother, the Divine Seal they used must be difficult for her in her current state." (Elizabeth)
"Current status? What are you talking about?" (I)
"I don’t know the details, but she was seriously injured." (Elizabeth)
"..." (I)
"Don’t worry, she’ll be fine, but the same can’t be said for the poor guy who managed to hurt her, I imagine he died in ways that are difficult to imagine." (Elizabeth)
As Elizabeth spoke, I was recovering from the pain that comes every few dozen minutes.
"I want to know more about this, but first I need to take care of something." (I)
"I’ll wait with her." (Elizabeth)
Next to Elizabeth was the one I chose as my last Herald, Zaya.
I take a deep breath and go a little further into the middle of the Star Palace garden, I have so many things to be done and even so I still worry about Hinata, the Essence I got has strange connotations everywhere.
"(She and I already have this power, besides, she’s my Familiar, if something goes wrong I’ll still be able to do something about it.)" (I)
I go to a fountain in the middle of the Garden and with a movement of my hand I remove all the freezing water pressed into an ice cube, then I break the part of the fountain in the middle and transform it into just an empty pool that I fill with the blood I removed of the Communal Temple.
"Hinata, come closer, dive in." (I)
"..." (Hinata)
She enters the pool of blood the large amount of Holy Power in that blood was surrounding her, she didn’t seem to be too affected and she was certainly calm.
I didn’t need to tell her if she was ready, it was clear to see that she was waiting for me to start.
I place my hand on the surface of the pool of blood, I let my Aura travel completely through the pool before penetrating his Spectral body then I begin to add my Authority creating a harmony between the two of us before finally letting the Anomalous Serpent Essence flow. of the Universal Void.
This was the first time I touched this Essence and used its power, it was strange, each Essence seems to have its own characteristics, but this one seems almost alive, I felt like I literally had a Serpent flowing from my Soul and through my body into the pool of blood.
When I did this a shadowy white Serpent silhouette appeared in the pool of blood, I could feel the power of the Essence absorbing my Aura and Authority before entering the flow that merged with Hinata, she began to show reaction, countless eyes opened by her body before those eyes become mouths full of teeth where bizarre tentacles come out to drag all the power of the surroundings inside.
I could feel the Essence sinking into her and the blood in the pool being devoured voraciously.
Ding!
<[ The Divine Beast and Familiar Hinata (Lady of the Void) was detected possessing [ Universal Anomalous Void Serpent Essence (Partially Sealed) ] in an embryonic state needing to undergo [ Divine Awakening] for full development ] ]>
.
.
.
<[ Fulfillment of the requirements of being submerged in the Blood of Zenos and your presence as a master to carry out the [ Divine Awakening ] ]>
.
.
<[ Want to initiate Hinata’s (Void Lady) [ Divine Awakening ] ]>
.
<[ Yes / No ]>
There was nothing to think about, Hinata was more than ready and I was already feeling another wave of pain wanting to start, so before the pain starts I start the process, so it won’t be interrupted later.
"Yes!" (I)
"(Damn, that one came quickly... aahhh!!!)" (I)
Ding!
<[ Starting [ Divine Awakening ] Hinata’s (Void Lady) ]>
When the process began I was drowning in a new wave of pain coursing through everything that constitutes my existence, I realized that this level of pain cannot be endured, this is a level of pain that surpasses any kind of resistance and threatens my life existence itself.
That’s why I ended up missing what was happening to Hinata, I just felt my power leaving my body along with a constant flow of the Universal Void Anomalous Serpent Essence.
It was only after the pain subsided that I could see Hinata’s condition, the pool of blood had disappeared giving way to a Star pool, it literally looked like the starry sky had been melted into liquid and spilled here and within between the stars there was an Eclipse surrounded by shadows of Serpents where something seemed to sleep almost invisible.
When I looked at that point a pair of eyes opened to meet mine, then it was as if each Serpent shadow turned its eyes towards me, the stars opened revealing they were eyes also turned towards me while the Eclipse cracked and then shook like if it were an egg.
Ding!
<[ The Familiar Spirit and Divine Beast Hinata (Universal Void Anomalous Avatar) Became an extension of the [ Universal Void Anomalous Serpent Essence (Partially Sealed) ] and creating the [ Universal Anomalous Void Serpent Core ] ]>
.
.
.
<[ Hinata (Anomalous Avatar of the Universal Void) awakened as a Specter of the Universal receiving the title [ Anomalous Serpent Lady of the void ] ]>
.
.
.
<[ Hinata’s Divine Awakening (Universal Void Anomalous Avatar) has been completed ]>
.
.
.
<[ Hinata (Universal Void Anomalous Avatar) does not meet the requirements for the awakening of the Anomalous Skill [ ■□□●■□●□■■ ] ]>
I had lots and lots of questions, but this wasn’t the time and I also have good guesses about the ability she failed to awaken, if I’m right it will only show itself when I become a God and possibly start my own Anomalous Core which is still In the process of refinement, this misfortune is one of the things that is causing the most pain within me.
Sigh
"(She’s fine...)" (I)
I could see a silhouette coming out of the broken Eclipse, she tried to come towards me and it was like seeing someone flying through water, her every movement caused ripples around her and when her hand tried to go through the inside of the stellar liquid to reach me, it was as if there is a membrane that she can’t break through creating a horror movie like scene of an arm trying to break through a membrane to reach me.
"Calm down, you still need to adapt to your power and stabilize everything." (I)
I wanted to see her, but I wouldn’t be able to, but it was a relief to realize that it shouldn’t take more than 1 day for her to leave, so I walked towards my sister and my future Herald while looking at her.
"What do you think?" (I)
"Her presence is different from Tarzor, it seems... I don’t know how to say... different... but pleasant, in a way... complementary, I don’t know how to explain it." (Zaya)
"That’s enough, it almost confirms my assumptions." (I)
"Do you want to rest?" (Elizabeth)
"I don’t have time, see." (I)
I lift my shirt showing the crack marks, they are not showing the inside of my body, they are not just cracks in my body, they are cracks in my very existence.
"I wanted to stay here and talk to you, but I don’t know how long, so bring Nicole here along with what I asked for." (I)
"You don’t need..." (Elizabeth) 𝙣𝒐𝙫𝙥𝙪𝙗.𝙘𝙤𝙢
"Yes, yes, I do, I can’t have her with me for what’s to come if I don’t know what to expect." (I)
With that I place my hand on the doll on my waist.
"(This time we’re going to fix you.)" (I)
-----------------
Pov Adella’s:
I wanted to rest peacefully, but I was dragged out of the ocean of blood by a hand I recognized, then taken to where Selene was.
"Selene, what did you do to her?" (Akatosh)
"I’m busy at the moment..." (Selene)
In front of Selene was a living body chopped up in a way that shouldn’t be possible while she was weaving the veins with her Divine power, I can also see her dissolving the Soul of Oros slowly into a sphere of blood, must want to force a Divine Rebirth while expelling Baldr’s power.
"She has become a Dragon, a pure Divine Dragon!" (Akatosh)
"She attracted the attention of the Anomalies!!" (Akatosh)
"I didn’t bring that bastard here and if you’re going to complain about anyone, Zenos did worse by killing a Dragon Eater." (I)
"He did what!!??" (Akatosh)
"Adella stop ratting out her father and you stop shouting in my Divine Kingdom, what Zenos did doesn’t matter, they’ve had their eyes on us for a long time." (Selene)
"I’m not ready yet... Arash is still a new God and the Primordial Dragons are still..." (Akatosh)
Sigh
"We are at a disadvantage and now they might not wait until we resolve the Abyss attack." (Akatosh)
"Don’t worry, your solution is obvious, Zenos has already begun the Divine Ascension process and he carries Anomalous power." (Selene)
"Yes, I can feel it too, it’s making my wounds itch more." (I)
"Hahahahaha... I knew I liked this boy, I’m going to contact your Saint now, Karina is a Saint of the entire Dragon Race, with her we can..." (Akatosh)
"Akatosh, I said I’m busy, I don’t have time for your race’s affairs right now, I have to break up with Oros and I haven’t fully recovered yet." (Selene)
"Alright, I’ll go now, looks like I have preparations to make." (Akatosh)
With that he was leaving as suddenly as he came and still dragging me with him.
"Wait, I still need to heal..." (I)
"You come with me." (Akatosh)
