NOVPUBTo transform Zaya into a Herald, I didn’t need much preparation, with my Will being much more accessible now and having more control over the entire process, I just had to stretch my arm and let my power flow while using Authority to activate my Will.
My arm transforms once again with my fingers becoming claws and star scales spreading across my arm, the energy was even stronger than before.
"(The control is a little worse due to the disproportionate amount of power, but it’s still better than normal.)" (I)
My Will once again let the power flow in my body naturally making the stars on my scales shine, then one of the Essences detached from the Essence Core.
Essence of the Universal Void Anomalous Serpent.
This was the Essence that I acquired and that would be used, looking at my scales was like seeing a silhouette gliding between the stars like a Serpent through the grass until it reached my claws.
"..." (I)
I felt that another wave of pain was coming, but at that moment I felt as if my Will was suppressing the pain and the transformation process temporarily.
I was grateful for this small mercy, in my current state it would be difficult to maintain myself any other way and concentration is everything in these moments.
I don’t need to activate any power like I used to, the Will literally is a form of power manipulation, at least that’s what I see for now.
Unlike the past, I don’t dare to use a complete Divine Incarnation, I also shouldn’t need to, the Divine Dragon with its eyes closed within the Essence Core is much more powerful than the Divine Spark that created with the Divine Incarnation.
My will seems to move inside me invading my Soul as if it were walking through your home, I simply felt it enter the Divine Dragon that opens its eyes revealing 2 different starry skies, then my Divine Weapon was sucked in with each part entering one of the eyes, soon the starry sky of one eye was around a Purple Sun while in the starry sky of the other eye was a Fragmented Moon.
When this happened I felt the Divine Dragon as if it had become my own Will, then a great weight fell on it and I felt as if I was being crushed, it was the Goddess Seals, I also felt the bizarre energy of the Anomalous Core trying to come together and being kept away by seals.
It took a few seconds to stabilize my situation before I returned to pay attention to Zaya still standing in front of me, I use the Divine Power that my Will controls to travel through the already altered parts of my Soul and travel through my already transformed arm.
"(The suppression of the Goddess seal is getting in the way, but I can’t get rid of it now.)" (I)
I keep all this power in just one arm, I felt like I was going to lose my arm at any moment, but I kept it that way and I realized that the Territory was already starting to form naturally once again because of my Will.
My Aura and Authority spread from my arm carrying the Divine presence, the demarcated area was the star pool where Hinata was and the space transformed as if the stars were corrupting the space.
I felt a synchronization between the Territory and the star pool before countless Star Crystal Flowers formed on the surface of the pool, among them a large flower rose from the pool rising beneath Zaya, I could feel that the roots of this flower were surrounding Hinata who was awake.
The flower where Zaya was standing had petals that resembled Snake eyes, while in the middle there was a crystal statue of a faceless woman surrounded by a Snake and a Dragon, her arms were outstretched grabbing what appeared to be a crevice with a rim filled with teeth and an eye in the middle.
Zaya had her eyes glued to the statue in front of her, but I didn’t have that luxury, the weight of the seals, the influence of the Anomalous Core and the excess of Divine Power were far exceeding my current limits.
Without delay I slit my wrists and let my blood flow, it became countless drops that fell onto the previously colorless statue, the scales of the Serpent and Snake became red with different textures while the woman’s dress became a vivid almost liquid red, my presence around that flower grew immensely.
Essence of the Universal Void Anomalous Serpent.
This time I don’t believe in a sphere of blood to contain my Essence, it was not necessary with my current control by my Will.
The Essence flowed out from countless scales becoming a Star Serpent that seemed to swim through space before entering the crack between the statue’s bones, it seemed as if the Essence had been devoured until the moment the statue came to life.
The Serpent and the Dragon wrap themselves around the woman’s arms, becoming ornaments in her arms, the slit that she used to hold floated to her head, taking the place where her face should have been.
Zaya suddenly floated towards her being hugged like a child would be by her hand, the two arms with the ornaments were around her as the strange head started to leak with bizarre energy Anomalous, a hill of stellar energy also surrounded the entire flower making everything different.
Now each petal of the flower looked like a different and real eye, however in the middle an eye-shaped slit with the edges full of teeth seemed to be watching me with affection, this was Hinata’s eye and I couldn’t say how I was so sure of that.
Ding!
<[ You have successfully ascended the individual Zaya into a Divine Herald ]>
.

<[ You must give your Herald a title to form its central aspect ]>
When the notification appeared in my mind I already knew that the process was almost finished, the only thing missing was this so-called title that would be its representation of this Essence, I had already thought about it before it even started and my Will transmitted it to her.
Then the entire Territory shrank and closed in around him, before I knew it I was back in the garden of the Star Palace while standing on the surface of the pool where Hinata was, but this time there was an addition to the landscape, a crystal flower was floating in above the pool facing towards me, each crystal petal containing a very real eye and in the middle seemed to contain a real eye-like slit full of teeth at the edges where a small cocoon seemed to be trapped inside.
My arm returned to normal as I felt my Divine Power being pushed back into my Essence Core with my Will being struck by the seals to the outside, my arm returning to normal was now covered by the cracks of my existence.
Ding!

Just when I thought I was screwed after seeing these notifications and understanding their meanings, other notifications appear, sinking my mood even further.
Ding!

<[ Callidora (■□□□■○●●■○□●) looks at you with amusement as she interferes with the Ascended (Anomaly) and Anomaly Dragons (Anomaly) attempt to find her whereabouts ]>
There are many, many problems with what I’m reading and some things I didn’t even know existed, I was freaking out about it all.
It seems that I attract a lot of prying eyes in my direction, looks full of malice and murderous intentions.
The system must be protecting me from the Abyss, this is not new, but it seems that the stronger I get, the difficulty of doing so increases.
Now the reason Callidora helps me is obviously because of the unborn Niryna, she doesn’t want her precious daughter to die before she’s even born or be snatched away by others when she’s so close to realizing her ambition.
"AAAHHHHHH!!! AAAHHHHAAAAHHHHHHH!!!" (I)
It was at that moment that the pain came back destroying any kind of train of thought I might have been having while drowning in pure pain.
Ding!
