NOVPUB"ZENOS!!!!" (Baldr)
"..." (I)
"..." (Samara)
This imposing and extremely authoritative presence was exactly the presence of the God of Light, Baldr.
Just as one would expect from those worshipers by the Church of Light as the Supreme God, someone who was worshiped by Athena and Xagar their entire lives before they were forced to open their eyes by outsiders, someone who had cursed for centuries Vanessa who was on the way to becoming his Saint only because she refused parts of his teachings, forcing her to flee with such fervor from changing her race.
From my first impressions of him to the moments I faced him in various situations, one thing was always present, his endless arrogance that turns into fury at the first sign of offense as if it were the greatest of sins.
This fury has been directed at me indirectly many times, even now he is still not present here but rather using Solary as an intermediary of his Will.
But as soon as his Will revealed itself, he screamed my name while his Aura tried to take over my Territory as if it had to belong to him simply because his Will was present.
I smiled at his inability to accomplish such a feat, this Place was a Dungeon created by me in the beginning and where two of my Familiars built Temples of their own, a place where the first Temple in my name was erected, the place where I faced the Divine Ascension by merging a Divine Realm with this place creating a Permanent Divine Realm, this place cannot be taken from me.
"..." (I)
"(He really is strong!)" (I)
I really was too proud, Baldr can’t really claim my space, but his presence can still destroy it.
The light emanating from the eye on Solary’s back is making the space around it ripple like the waters of a lake, even the barrier closing this space was shaking as if it would be destroyed at any moment, only the ’Seed’ was showing no reactions.
Even I was affected by his presence, making my heart beat stronger and a hint of anxiety arise, after all, this is one of the greatest Gods in the universe, even just a part of his Will was already a big problem for me.
Then I glance at Solary and this other God who was defeated by Samara, both of them were apparently healed from their injuries, of course I say apparently because Solary is still injured by the Anomalous energy while the other God has not recovered his true limbs.
"Samara, take care of your enemy and try not to use deception against me again." (I)
"You’re not funny, how did you notice?" (Samara)
As she spoke, she seemed to not care about Baldr or anything else, she swung her hand with the missing fingers and the bones simply popped out from within while the flesh, muscles and skin grew at a rapid pace, even the wounds on her faces disappeared and everything it happened in the blink of an eye.
"Can I have his Soul?" (Samara)
"Yes, but give me the entire Divinity." (I)
"With pleasure." (Samara)
Saying this she disappears once again and when I looked at the God who previously carried the book, he was dragged by chains that pulled him by the neck into a burning crevice, even the space-shaking presence of Baldr did not affect what it happened.
This all happened very quickly and when Solary and Baldr realized their companion was missing, Baldr didn’t say anything else.
"< Invocation of the Sun of the Beginning >" (Baldr/Solary)
"I dont allow!" (I)
I felt the Anomalous energy in the burning rift that Samara created thus realizing that the Anomalous Power can interfere with the Divine Power or at least Baldr’s Power, so even if I can’t handle the Anomalous Power correctly, I could still do something as simple as injecting it into the surrounding barrier.
The flow of energy connecting all the stars vibrated as a bright rift was trying to form, but at that moment the flow of energy connecting the stars literally shifted the position of the stars creating a single massive constellation that looked like the image of a planet and its geography, we were on the inside of the planet.
With this massive constellation formed as the new barrier I felt all of space strengthen as the glowing rift that Baldr was creating was destroyed, crushed by space closing in roughly.
"How do you dare!!!??" (Baldr)
"< Incarnation of Baldr >" (Solary)
The rift being forced to close wasn’t the only effect, I noticed that Baldr’s golden eye within the ring of light behind Solary’s back was also flickering, as if Solary’s connection with Baldr would be severed at any moment.
It was at that moment that Solary made his move without hesitation, I wouldn’t stand by and watch, just like I interfered with their Summon, I wouldn’t allow my enemies to take any kind of advantage, I’m not that stupid.
"< Divine Eclipse Magic: Demon Star Rain >" (I)
Using my Divine power as well as the power of Apocalypse originating from my Divinity, I shout a massive magic circle revealing a sky marked by countless stars that explode in black fire and purple light creating a devastating rain heading towards Solary.
He seemed to take no action, but I felt an incredible Divine Power radiating from Baldr’s eye and coiling around his body.
His own Aura and presence were changing and I could understand what they were doing.
The Light that radiated from the Sun that worked with his legs, shone in an increasingly intense gold and its light seemed like a natural barrier spreading the rain of destruction that fell on him.
Of course they did not defend themselves completely, the Sun was decreasing in size until it was only half of what it was at the beginning, even though its Golden Flames were intense, its quantity decreased a lot.
I looked at Baldr and Solary once again, my attack was largely ineffective in terms of damage, but it helped expend their power at an important moment.
When I looked at him I noticed a big change, Solary’s head opened into a circle where half of the circle made room for his chest while the other half became an arc connecting the two shoulders, his four eyes were on opposite ends of the circle while facing the center where a large golden eye was located, that was Baldr’s eye that was no longer blinking as if it would disappear.
Solary’s arms and stomach were now wearing shining golden armor, his wings were now much more lifelike with the light forming literal feathers, his presence on the other hand changed so completely that it revealed what he had done, he gave up control of his body to Baldr and only acted as support, making the connection between them firmer, thus resisting the effects of my barrier’s interference.
"You took over his body in such a domineering way, as expected of a tyrant." (I)
"Shut up damn son of Selene!" (Baldr)
"You’ve stood in my way many times and you’re lucky I’m not here in person or you would have turned this whole place into nothing!!" (Baldr)
"I’m not going to waste my time with you..." (I)
I couldn’t continue provoking him to buy time, his body emitted a large amount of light that condensed into spears on its own advancing towards me.
"..." (I)
I had to dodge the attacks that kept coming in quick succession like they were endless spears of light, clearly Baldr was playing with me to ease his anger, but I felt he was more testing my power before carrying out an attack, he was no fool at all attack without knowing the power of an enemy even though it is just a new God.
"(I can’t keep testing my power, I have to take it seriously.)" (I)
Even though he wasn’t the real Baldr here, just a part of his Will controlling Solary, he was still very powerful, putting great pressure on me, I had an instinctive feeling that if I didn’t take it seriously my life could really be at risk.
With that in mind I let my power free without trying to hold back anymore, my body distorting in moments as I grew into my Dragon form for the first time since becoming a God.
-----------------
Pov Samara:
I was in a space created by me, a zone similar to what they call Territory in this universe, but inside it was just a castle of bodies where endless laments were heard, I built this place using souls and vital force of those I devoured until now, it is part of my Soul and before it was just something illusory that I could give shape to with the power of Hell, but thanks to the Anomalous Power I received I can do it with my own power now.
"You know, I was really lucky to find such a kind master, so it really irritates me to have flies like you interrupting our time." (I)
"He really is a disgusting freak to have someone so disgusting by his side!"
"Don’t say that, he’s quite reasonable compared to that thing that forced me to serve for so long, I never thought that a little teasing that day would be so beneficial to me..." (I)
"< Purification of Evil... >"
"< Infernal Subjugation >" (I)
Before his power could even take shape, a chain coiled like a hammer hitting him, the gathered power dispersing as the light forming his arms caught fire.
"Let’s not be in a hurry, I have many things to entertain us during this time." (I)
