NOVPUBPov Karina:
It was difficult for me to watch this fight and have to stay still, I am connected both with Master Zenos and also with the Dragon Totem, I am the Only Holy Dragon in the entire universe and perhaps that is why I have a perception that I am not sure if others can see beyond the God Akatosh.
The Totem’s Aura was an amalgamation of all those Dragons linked to Zenos, a strong and complex Aura, the same can be felt in his Authority since everything in it is a physical representation of Zenos’ Authority linked to his Blood Eclipse Dragon tribe.
Zenos hurting his copy in that way hurts him more than anyone else, the blood that looks like the liquid form of Starfire coming out of the Totem is the accumulation of the power of his Lineage, losing that will weaken all Dragons under Zenos’ health requiring considerable effort from me.
But what made me most distressed was seeing Zenos in such a pitiful state, his body covered in wounds, he is not an object like his enemy, he is getting tired and accumulating wounds that are not healing for some reason.
I can feel the pain in your Aura being forcibly pushed to the side as increasingly severe injuries are exchanged from one side to the other.
"What will happen to him after this fight?" (I)
"Don’t let the injuries fool you, they may hurt and even leave your body half destroyed, but he will still be alive." (Adella)
"Adella is right, Zenos is already almost a God, even though he can’t create an entirely new physical body if his is completely destroyed, he can recover from any level of injuries." (God Akatosh)
"..." (Magnus)
"I think she means her state of Divine Ascension, will this violent combat impact the Ascension process?" (Silvia)
"Don’t worry, the Totem can only cause physical damage, with his sealed power Zenos will also only be able to cause physical damage and even if he is capable of causing another type of damage, my power within his Dragon Totem will do the trick any unforeseen circumstances." (God Akatosh) 𝘯𝑜𝘷𝘱𝘶𝑏.𝘤𝘰𝑚
As we talked I could feel Magnus’ eyes of shame looking at the Dragon God, he doesn’t seem worried about Zenos and the same thing happens with Silvia, I know everyone trusts Zenos a lot, I also trust that she will do well, but I can’t dismiss my concern seeing him in this destroyed state in the midst of a situation as ’Divine’ as this.
"(The cracks on his body are growing wider, this can’t be good.)" (I)
I was about to move forward in the middle of the fight, but then a hand as heavy as an iron mountain that immobilized my body was on my shoulder, disturbing my balance when I turned to the side, it was exactly Magnus nodding his head for me not to intervene.
"..." (I)
"Do you think he lost control?" (Magnus)
I look at Zenos, he is fighting wildly differently than he normally does, but this doesn’t seem to be the way he normally does things, I doubt he is under some influence he cannot resist.
"Zenos is letting his instincts overflow, I’m doing nothing more than providing some encouragement." (God Akatosh)
----------------
I could feel the Totem absorbing Zenos’ blood and also some kind of energy, this must be what the Dragon God was talking about, with each attack from Zenos and each drop of blood, I can feel something forming inside the Totem.
When the fight ended in his victory, Zenos’ condition was as bad as I feared, the cracks are not only covering his body completely, his power is leaking and his Aura is burning with that power.
I could only see Adella taking him when the Dragon God made me stay, then I noticed the changes in the Dragon Totem, from a real Dragon it was returning to its Totem form or that’s what I thought before I realized the truth.
"That can’t be possible..." (I)
"This is exactly what I expected, the Anomalous power is not something that can be contained in even Divine level objects, its container and function are very specific." (God Akatosh)
"Now I need you who represents Zenos to complete the process together with me, the others from your tribe are here to observe the changes before implementation on my part." (God Akatosh)
"But that’s..." (I)
"While you guys take care of this, I need to go." (Nix)
"Don’t be nervous, the process will be smooth for you, your master will encounter obstacles." (God Akatosh)
"I don’t worry about him, I learned a long time ago that he always finds a way to come out on top." (Nix)
With that I realized that Nix’s Aura was also out of the ordinary, he wasn’t in the same state as Zenos, but it was easy for me to feel the connection, all his Familiars also went through this.
I saw her flying out and I couldn’t help but worry, I could feel his Authority inside me twisting.
"(Be well...)" (I)
-------------------
Pov Zenos:
My body was a mess, but none of that mattered since my Soul, which is more important, was also a mess, I felt life-threatening this time.
"Where do I take you?" (Adella)
"The Star Palace… warn others…" (I)
"You idiot, they already know, they can feel it because of you." (Adella)
I could feel the notifications piling up, but I couldn’t see it now, my Essence Core was fighting against my Anomalous Core, each of them formed a Dragon within it that had its eyes closed as they collided against each other.
Cough Cough
"I feel like I’m being... crushed from the inside out..." (I)
"You need to bear it, at least until I move away, I don’t want to be caught in the middle of this." (Adella)
"Thanks for... AAAHHHHHH!!!" (I)
The pain that came was too much for me to bear, a wave of Anomalous Power and another of Divine Power collided inside my Soul, it was like having a nuclear bomb explode in my stomach.
"Adella! I don’t know how much more... AAAAHHHAHH!!!" (I)
The pain was too great, my Soul was being twisted like dough in the hands of a child, I could feel the very essence of my existence burning between the two damn cores that think my Soul is similar to a wrestling ring!
Maybe because of the combat just now, but my instincts were blooming once again, a desire to destroy everything in the surroundings was taking over me, taking out all this pain and anger on the surroundings was becoming too attractive an idea in my mind.
"We’re here, good luck." (Adella)
"..." (I)
I didn’t even notice when we arrived, I was in an open-air hall in the central part of the Star Palace, the highest part, Adella left me on the ground and ran away as quickly as possible, at a glance I saw my sisters passing by me before of each one going in a different direction.
Every part of my body struggled on the ground, the physical pain was not even half of what my Soul was feeling, even in hell I did not go through such pain, everything that constitutes my existence was immersed in the deepest pain to the point of the sense of time is lost with all my senses.
In the midst of all this pain I was still able to differentiate everything inside me, but it was as if the world outside my body closed.
I could feel my Soul being torn apart and transforming before being remade piece by piece, a constant flow of transformation as the two cores within it were continually colliding and in the midst of them was my ’Will’ being the only reason my Soul still be able to withstand each collision.
I wanted to lose consciousness or go out of control, that could alleviate this suffering, but instead my Will was making my consciousness clear about every little detail happening.
I knew that if I completely surrendered to the pain this could end, my Will obeying my giving up, but I couldn’t do that, I couldn’t give up, that would go against everything I believe in and have done to this day, it goes against everything I am and for This, my Will acted, continues to act on its own trying to control the two Nuclei within my Soul.
Amidst the pain an idea occurred to me, my Essence Core is based on my Anomalous Chaos Essence, all the other Essences orbit around it, so some of the power of the Anomaly is already within me.
An idea that could be tried, using my will I made it extend and invade the two cores grabbing the Dragons inside, without the two inside I could move forward while ignoring the notifications ringing in my head.
The two Dragons were not completely formed and they coiled around my will that collides the two cores together, as I have greater control over my Essence Core it was almost too simple to make it swallow the Anomalous Core that was now inside my Anomalous Essence of Chaos.
When I did this something strange happened, the two Dragons open their eyes and separate themselves from my will and start fighting each other.
The Anomalous Core was struggling within the Chaos Essence that had become a Starfire Sun while the other Essences looked like planets in its orbit.
My Soul soon began to change, it was no longer pain that I felt, it was beyond that, everything about me was in flux and I felt as if I would lose myself forever if I lost concentration.
It was at that moment that it happened, several great Wills surrounded me, Wills full of Divinity and Wills full of Natural power.
In my senses it was as if I were floating in the middle of the universe surrounded by Gods watching me, a giant pressure bearing down on me just by being in the focus of them all.
But something even greater is vast, it seemed to be focused on me, something the scope of which I was unable to even comprehend before system screens appeared in front of me forcing my eyes to see its contents.
Ding!
