500th Time Reborn, A World Only Known By Women: The Karma System-Chapter 514 The Three That Were Once One
"It can be done, but it will take time. You need to find a way to get all of them to cooperate, and not just the ones in your area. Try speaking to those who you think might have more insight into what is going on with the witches. Visit other places, talk to different people." Kadeon said.
"What you are suggesting is to get someone else to clean up my mess? That really does sound like something that you would suggest. Thanks for the info," I said and opened a portal to go see Listenia and Elfina.
[Kadeon]
Watching Galio go, Kadeon fumed inside, but he held his composure until the portal closed and the three Guides appeared.
"He is a menace, and even with my twisting of the damned woman, he still prefers Nemoria more than me! I need to figure a way to make her look bad or for me to look better!" Kadeon snapped and then gave a sideways look at the Guides. "What is your view on all of this? We do share common interests, do we not? What is the point of hiding it all?"
"My view is that you are not actually genuine with your words or actions, and the man sees through this. The chances of your success are limited, and at this rate, the boy will figure out how to free Nemoria. Even if we hide the knowledge from him, it will surface from his own subconscious, and soon I think. If this happens, you will have to face him head-on. If you lose, you know what the cost is?" Helios asked, and Kadeon clicked his tongue.
"Tch! You know very well I know the cost of failure because I was the one that summoned you three!" Kadeon growled, but Apocolios shook its head.
"No, you formed a pact with us after sacrificing your followers for your foolish jealousy and ambitions. Remember your place; The Cat God holds back the Tides of Chaos, but if you cannot defeat him, we will consume you, and a new God of Light and Darkness will be born in the second veil to provide us with more Chaos," Apocolios said, and both Helios and Angelios nodded.
"You had no idea of what you were doing when you created this pact. You asked to become the king, but you offered no reason, just bodies of people that trusted you. For this, we thank you. If you had known what you were doing, this would have been an easy path. Instead, because of your choices, just like what you have done to Nemoria in forcing her to become evil, we have also made you good. This strongly will impede you because you are too proud to change! Of all the dimensions to be summoned, we all agree that this will become our new home after we win," Angelios said, but Kadeon laughed, surprising all three Guides. f𝓇𝘦e𝑤𝘦𝚋𝒏૦ѵℯ𝒍.c𝐨𝒎
"Lovely talk and I am more than aware of the conscience you sewed into me, but that only does the climb that much more worthy of me! I may have only wanted to see that man burn for stealing both my daughter and wife from me, but now I want to control everyone so I can decide their fates and destinies! Laugh at me all you want, but I will win him over to my side!" Kadeon declared and then grinned viciously. "If I can't, then I, Kadeon, will kill him myself when the time comes!"
"Your confidence is admirable, but we will see how Galio fairs. I have more faith in him than I do you, and I am glad we were not summoned by him, or we would never hand the chance to fight back so much," Helios said, but then Kadeon gave the three a hard look.
"What are all of you? I know you are the Guides, and that gives you an offering during the summoning for a wish that can change anything. There is nothing in the spell to suggest what you are or where you came from," Kadeon questioned but then flinched back as the three beings removed their hoods.
This was the first time that they had ever done this, but everything was now set in stone, so they no longer needed to hide. Each of them had a grossly disfigured head with mouths with razor-sharp teeth all over. They also had extra eyes with a strange symbol on them and wings that were feathered like an angel.
"We are three. We were once one but now have become these disfigured creatures, forced to sign pacts with others," Apocolios explained and then pointed at Kadeon. "Like you."
"Each time we do, we recreate everything and start the testing. You are the self-appointed champion because you summoned us, but you also took the liberty of asking for rules to be placed on Nemoria and for us to separate your daughter from Galio," Helios explained, and Kadeon threw his hands up in frustration.
"A lot of good that did," Kadeon sighed, and Angelios nodded.
"This thing we tried, but the strings are too strong between them, and why Galio is the Contender. This is his world you are trying to steal from him, and he has every right to defend it, but that gives us an angle, thanks to your greediness. Because you requested to control Nemoria and separate your daughter from him, restrictions were placed upon you. This way, if you fail, which is most likely to happen, we will have a chance to stop him ourselves for once!" It said, and then the other two nodded.
"And you think that I am just going to sit here and let you discard me like that?!" Kadeon snapped, and the three nodded.
"You can not reveal anything," Apocolios said.
"You can not harm him while Nemoria is in play," Helios said.
"You cannot win unless you take the final offering," Angelios said and pulled out a glass tube with a severed finger in it, handing it to the God of Light.
