NOVPUBWhen I came back to my senses, I realized that the space around me was still horrible, everything was half torn apart, the remaining power from the battle is everywhere, my power wasn’t a problem, since this place was a Dungeon it was always able to absorb my power even during the Evolutions and clearly the same happened during my divine ascension.
But Baldr’s power is another story, I can feel traces of his Holy Power and also his Divine Power everywhere, even traces of his presence and Will can still be found.
"(It’s still too early to think about these things.)" (I)
I was only distracted momentarily before turning my eyes back to Solary, he was in the same place I saw before, but it seems that without Baldr’s power his size was slowly returning to normal, now he was already less than half my size.
When I got close to him I realized that he was still alive, but there was no Divine Power left inside him, even the Holy Power was at the bottom, his Aura was also in tatters.
His size might be decreasing, but his body was not returning to normal, but without a doubt he was still alive, I approached him, my Divine Weapon had crumbled before, I was also weakened, of course I was not close to the pitiful state of Solary and so I only used the Fragmented Moon to form a silver dagger while I transformed the Cursed Sun into ropes of fire coiling around Solary.
"Why do you keep attacking me? Just because of Baldr’s anger?" (I)
"You are bad... your very existence..." (Solary)
"You really can’t talk to idiots." (I)
"..." (I)
With the dagger in hand, I first pierced each of Solary’s 4 eyes before cutting the unlit Sun in half in place of his legs while I finally began to pierce several places on his body, of course I wasn’t just torturing him.
Each place I attacked were power conversion points on his body, his 4 eyes and the Sun were the most obvious points, so I attacked those places first before searching the rest of his body before finally finding his resume in a region on his back. close to the waist.
His light body was as important as a Fairy’s, it was just condensed power, even though he can feel things like pain and such from this body, it wouldn’t be difficult for him to build a new one.
But unlike Fairies and Spirits, he is a true God, as his body has always been a cluster of elemental energy, he must have a Core that linked his soul to that body as well as a focal point of power that would certainly continue after becoming a God.
Once I found it, I ripped it out of his dying body using Starfire to seal it and kept it while extracting his Soul which I burned instantly, after which his body just fell apart like particles of light.
"Samara, how was it?" (I)
"He’s dead, I got his Divinity which was fragmented and I didn’t get any information from him." (Samara)
"Help the Heralds by following Hades’ orders and then join my children, I want this battle to end as quickly as possible." (I)
"How to order." (Samara)
I snap my fingers and the great planetary constellation around us falls apart, the stars begin to rearrange themselves to what they were before and the shadowy spheres distort vibrating into their Dark Dragon forms.
Samara, who appeared beside me as I returned to my small form, gave her summary report before following my commands.
"After battle comes cleansing... but at least this thing wasn’t affected." (I)
I look at the Universal Seed still intact, perhaps the only thing intact in this entire place, but everything else needed to be repaired and strengthened.
------------------
A few hours later I was back in my mansion, I discovered that many people from the city had fainted from the shock of my confrontation against Baldr, it seems they could see the flashes of our battle from the city as well as felt some repercussions, luckily no one was hurt and they just faint from the Divine pressure that spread.
Inside the mansion I was still tired and one of my arms was still numb, but I could move it a little.
In front of me was a pool of my blood where my children and Heralds were immersed up to their necks, in the case of Hades and Magnus, they were immersed up to their chests.
All of them were injured to some degree, some were more dead than alive like Kiara who had most of her body torn to pieces.
Xagar and Fiona were also in poor condition, those in better condition were Samara, Silvia and Zaya.
I won’t count Nicole since she didn’t personally participate in any combat and only controlled some Golems, the same goes for Alice who served more as a support to the others.
Alice was next to me, Hinata was hugging me like a tick having returned in the middle of the battle and Nicole was floating with several holographic screens around her, Zaya in turn seemed to have fun floating in the pool of my blood and Samara was holding a glass in the hand he used to drink my blood as if it were a delicacy while bathing as if it were a bathtub.
"How are the spoils?" (I)
"I just checked, we have 2 Divine Weapons, several Deity Fragments and some complete Essences that emerged from the complete Deities." (Alice)
"Did anyone speak?" (I)
"Not among the Divine level, everyone died, but we captured some high-ranking ones from the Church of Light, we hope Lilith can make them more cooperative." (Alice)
"I can go now..." (Lilith)
"Be still and keep healing!" (Irina)
"If you leave I will take the prisoners to Hela and Nicole." (Vanessa)
"Alright, alright..." (Lilith)
"Actually, I’ve already taken a few." (Nicole)
Everyone was in a very light mood, only me, Vanessa and Alice were taking it seriously, I don’t know if we are the strange ones taking an attack of this level seriously.
"Does anyone have anything else to report?" (I)
"Sir, I have captured a Sword Deity, Tear of Light." (Xagar)
"Is that a Divinity? I thought it was a Divine Weapon..." (Alice)
"A God will not necessarily arise among people, they may be born from objects or strong beliefs being worshipped." (Samara)
"Tear of Light is the God that symbolizes the Templars of Light." (Vanessa)
"He is still alive?" (I)
"Yes, I thought you could refine him into a Demon God." (Xagar)
Xagar spoke about why he took this sword with a clearly cruel smile on his face, I can see what he wants, his revenge or maybe just his anger at having once been a Templar.
"We can see all this later, for now throw all these Divine things into the pool of blood inside the Communal Temple, that power will keep everything sealed." (I)
"Now let’s talk about the reason for all this, Nicole..." (I)
"..." (I)
I wanted to get into the main part of this meeting as it was clear that I was just a target of opportunity, the main target of this attack was not me, in fact they wanted to recover something that was in our possession and just took the opportunity to cause damage while they were here.
I suspect Baldr also wanted to measure my strength, but for now these are just guesses, but they were looking for a book and the only one I can think of is the one Nicole brought, the one surrounded by chains that looked alive, the problem was that it was clearly emitting evil intentions and didn’t look like something that could come from the Church of Light.
But just as I was about to get into the subject, I felt being pulled once again by a limitless intention and Will, I could have tried to resist, but I recognized this Will.
When I opened my eyes I was once again in that red and black castle facing a now empty throne.
"It seems Baldr can no longer wait." (Selene)
"Hello mother." (I)
Next to me the Blood Goddess was sitting next to me on the floor, she was holding my arm and checking before passing her hand on my chest, I could feel her power infiltrating my chest until it reached the Blood Core that has been pulsing increasingly heavily, which is why I still feel married.
"Her arm will be fine, but this child... looks like I did it right." (Selene) 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝒑𝙪𝒃.𝒄𝒐𝙢
She moved her hand and I felt boundless vital energy gather in the form of a ribbon of blood, several Auras that belong to the Church of Light could be felt as well as traces of Divine presence.
"I had my Saint collect the Vitality of your attackers, I could feel some of your Vitality being sucked away by the child within you, but with this it should be enough." (Selene)
"After that she should be able to hatch, try doing that here where I can hide it." (Selene)
Saying this, she uses a finger to guide that drop of blood full of Vitality to my chest where it enters without problems, touching my Blood Core, a pair of chains appear tying this drop and pulling it in.
Then the core stopped pulsing, that’s when I felt it heat up, the Starfire started to burn intensely and I felt Niryna move inside.
