NOVPUBThe turbulence in the Star Path finally ends, but the intensity of Tarzor’s Aura is changing, it is no longer growing, his Aura and presence are actually computing, shrinking as it deepens.
The Purple Sun and the Shattered Moon begin to radiate power, the power of Chaos, one of them transforms and the other reshapes, the egg breaks, but the pulsation that comes from within feels heavy like the collision between Worlds.
I feel the restrictions in Tarzor, his interior contains the power of Life and Death, but it does not feel like something is missing, it is what was taken from him, the ability to create, he was awake and seeking what is missing.
"(He is awake, he is delaying his own birth and using my Divine Weapons to reshape his body...)" (me)
"TARZOR!!! YOU HAVE TO STOP!!!" (me)
"< I must be complete!! >" (Tarzor)
"Damn he doesn’t listen..." (me)
"You were so naive, you fell into a big trap..." (Callidora)
"Callidora!?" (me)
Suddenly I find myself in another space, but it was just my mind, using my Aura and my own Soul, I could see my body still stuck in the connection with Tarzor who began to search for garlic in me.
I could feel the world outside while my mind was still in this place, looking around it was just a ruined temple in the middle of a desolate desert, Callidora was in my sick and between us there was a small artificial lake.
Callidora snaps her fingers making the waters of this lake ripple, then the reflection in the lake changed to what was happening outside, it was a strange feeling to see yourself in real time like that.
"What did you do now?" (me)
"I’m not doing anything, this is just a simple mental realm." (Callidora)
"My daughter is sustaining the magic and I just wanted to see it all from the front row." (Callidora)
"What’s going on? What did you mean by ’falling into a trap’ now?" (me)
"Tarzor was born an incomplete creature and has remained that way for a period of existence longer than some universes, he has tried many different things from seeing the birth of a universe to kidnapping Anomalous Creatures like he did with the Anomalous Dragons." (Callidora)
Callidora seemed to walk around the small lake, but each step she took was followed by her appearing in a different place trying to force me to look at the different places where she appears, even now she is trying to play with me.
"I know he has done many things, he has never hidden it." (me)
"Even so, you underestimated him. His obsession with becoming a Universe is due to the instinct of becoming complete. That’s his core, everything he ever wanted and was denied in all his attempts." (Callidora)
"Now I ask, what is a universe without life?" (Callidora)
"Being able to maintain life within it is one thing, but the inability to create life means that nothing can be born within it, which in turn ends one of the main aspects of creation, making it a flawed universe, still incomplete... hahahaha..." (Callidora)
"It’s funny to see him so close to everything he ever wanted only to be denied once again, isn’t it funny?" (Callidora)
I didn’t look directly at him. My focus was still on my body. Tarzor’s egg was pulsing very intensely. The power within it was being condensed too much. It couldn’t be maintained for long.
"Just say it straight out." (me)
"You’re so impatient..." (Callidora)
She appears on my shoulder, this time her eyes inches from my face, her beauty doing nothing to ease the terror of having her eyes so focused on me, it was like being faced with the teeth of a peerless Predator.
"This was the best chance he’s ever had, maybe he’ll never get so close to what he seeks, do you really think he’d accept being rejected again?" (Callidora)
"At that moment he was taken over by his obsession, his instincts took over and he tried to seek from the universe what he lacks, but we both know there was interference to make that impossible, right?" (Callidora)
"You know about the system, so why don’t you just tell me what he’s doing?" (me)
"I thought it was obvious, he can’t take what he needs from the universe and the only thing connected to him is you... so tell me, what is he looking for so desperately in you...?" (Callidora)
"..." (me)
She was dragging the conversation on purpose, as soon as she said that it was at the exact moment that Tarzor’s presence invaded my body, extending to several parts even reaching my Soul.
He was touching my Essences, my Divinity, my Nature power, my Anomalous power and even the Nature Power inside me, that’s when I felt something, a gentle and delicate touch touching something inside me that I couldn’t identify exactly where.
"(Sorry...)" (Freya)
"Freya..." (me)
I didn’t have time to think, I could only accept that Freya pulled something from me through the connection between me and Tarzor, so there was some change.
"Don’t get lost in your thoughts, it would be bad to get carried away like that." (Callidora)
"Just tell me what you want!?" (me)
"I already told you, I’m just watching a good show." (Callidora)
"But where did I stop... oh, yes... what Tarzor seeks, you should know now." (Callidora) n𝚘𝚟𝚙u𝚋.co𝚖
"The power of Creation, something that fell into your hands in a strange form and even if you no longer have a Dungeon, the power is still there." (Callidora)
"The connection with the circle of Rebirth, the ability to create life." (Callidora)
The Anomalous and Chaos power were extending together with the power of nature, all mixing with this something being pulled from me to Tarzor, I could feel that I was swallowed by the egg, falling in the right place the first time, I felt the excitement in Tarzor’s Aura with boundless euphoria.
"Thanks to you, even if he can’t create life on his own, he still has you to accomplish that step within him." (Callidora)
"A roundabout way and yet you still manage to complete it, seems like the only option, doesn’t it?" (Callidora)
"Wait! When you said a trap, you meant...?" (me)
"That’s right, what is a restriction besides cutting off certain paths or possibilities?" (Callidora)
What she told me was like a bolt of lightning hitting my head, she basically rubbed the truth in my face, her eyes mocking me as if I were an idiot.
The restrictions were placed by the System, there were exactly 2 restrictions, the first was about the impossibility of Tarzor creating life, but if this option was already a way to cut off Tarzor’s possibilities, leaving only the one he is doing now, then I’ve been manipulated from the start.
The second restriction was about Tarzor’s inability to expand by devouring other Universes, if I go with the mindset that this restriction is also a form of manipulation, then it all makes sense when considering my enemies.
The Anomalous Dragons have Universe Fragments inside them, they are not true universes, so they should not be affected by the restriction, this basically is an incentive for Tarzor to devour the Anomalous Dragons.
The System clearly spoke about ’restriction’ and not ’blocking’, it also insinuated that I should hunt Anomalous creatures and these two restrictions strongly connect me with Tarzor to do exactly that together.
"(If this thought is right, then there must be a specific ability that I must achieve in the end, if that happens it will all be confirmed.)" (me)
I turn to Callidora, she was sitting in the middle of the small lake looking at me, she didn’t come to warn me anything, she dragged this conversation in the right time to just comment on what was already happening, she was just teasing me again.
"I’m not going to waste my time with this..." (me)
"Then bye..." (Callidora)
She snaps her fingers still laughing and a wave of mental power throws me out, my mind once again focusing only on what was happening.
Ding!
It was at that exact moment that I hear the sound of System Notifications, but I couldn’t see anything as I was quickly pulled towards Tarzor, this time it wasn’t him pulling me, it was actually my Divinity dragging my body towards him, every instinct in me telling me to touch the egg.
"..." (me)
It was at that moment that I stared at the illusory eyes as if responding to my presence, my Divine Weapon flies out, sinking into my body, then I touch the egg, it was as if a chain reaction was started.
The eggshell explodes, the illusory Dragon head disappears as well as the eyes, the clouds of power are sucked into the center while the Star Fire forms a tornado around it.
What was inside the egg was something so disproportionate that it could have been seen to have exploded outwards, it was like seeing the expansion of a cloud, but this time it was not formless energy, it was the outline of a starry sky, very similar to Nix in her Dragon form, the only difference is that there are no scales, this is because the entire body was fused and looked like an outline of space itself or a living portal in the shape of a Dragon.
His size seems to have decreased to just a few hundred kilometers, his appearance has also changed a bit, but what surprised me was feeling the connection I have with him, it was the same as the one I have with this universe, the connection of a God with his universe, which in this case was especially strong and that was when I finally looked at the notifications.
Sigh
"I knew it..." (me)
