Will of chaos-Chapter 1747: Cap 1745: Hellish Arrival Part 5
I grab Irina and call my mother with my eyes while summoning my Saints, Heralds and Divine Beasts to meet me at the Ritual site inside the Communal Temple.
It took me seconds to get there and I was in a hurry because I noticed something, I noticed what the Ascendants are truly doing and I was even more scared by the possibility of being right that seems more and more correct the more I think about it.
"What is it, what did you notice?" (Mother)
"I noticed that there were no Ascendants in this mass of Transformed and Ascendant Golems, then Lena made me realize that even this large number are too weak to face so many Gods on our side." (Me)

As I spoke, I had already reached the main hall of the Communal Temple where the statues of the Gods were enshrined, my statue among them as well as those of my wives, my sisters, my Divine Beasts, my Heralds, some of my daughters and my mother.
In the center of the hall was a magic circle drawn with my blood, surrounded by dozens of crystal cubes surrounded by Runes on all sides and containing Divine powers of different Gods, in the center a crystal basin that looks like a blooming flower, what it contained inside was not water but a space full of stars that form constellations similar to the statues in this hall, in the center an Eclipse emanating the power of chaos.
This was the Ritual that Irina, Erica and a few others worked together to create, a way to save those converted, a way to go against the plans of the Ascendants, but all of this almost seems meaningless now if I hadn’t realized their plans.
"Samara, of everyone here you’ve known the Ascendants the longest, have they ever fought head-on like this!?" (me)
"A few times that I know of, but all of them were guaranteed victories at the end of their respective conquests..." (Samara)
As soon as my Saints, Heralds and Divine Beasts gathered, I looked directly at Samara who was in front, she was the first to arrive with the others right behind her as she was always watching me.
As if confirming my suspicions once again, she speaks realizing what I mean and those of us with two brain cells finally realize the strangeness of the situation.
"What are you talking about?" (Layla)
"I don’t understand either?" (Kiara)
"You two idiots..." (Sakura)
"Lena, how many Creatures and Anomalous Entities are on the Ascendants’ side?" (me)
The Twins moved along with me, even Cortana noticed my movement and followed right behind, half of the forces that were previously outside were now here, there’s no way the enemies wouldn’t notice that.
"They created a few hundred Anomalous Creatures, but they’re hard to control and I think it’s hard for them to use them all here." (Lena)
"As for the Anomalous Entities, they have a lot of business with them, as conquerors of universes they are able to trade slaves of all races in the billions, entire planets, fragments of space, Essences and very rarely even Souls." (Lena)
"Of course what they trade in these situations is not money, but rather an exchange between items or services." (Cortana)
"So the Entity that stopped you two during the invasion must have been one of them, the same for that woman using the power of life and that Knight using the power of death, they are hired..." (me)
"Dad, what do you intend to do?" (Irina)
Suddenly all the pieces come together in my mind, I touch Irina’s forehead and then the Twins’ since I need a quick job, explaining everything in a normal way would take dozens of minutes that we don’t have.
Irina gets to work.
"System, I have never asked you for anything, so please answer, how many Anomalous Entities are cooperating with the Ascendants in this attack against us?" (me)
"I also want to know how many Anomalous Creatures are being prepared." (me)
Ding!
<[ The System verifies your Authority and confirms your right to access such information ]>
.
.
<[ The System is being asked by several entities not to interfere and their combined Authority surpasses yours ]>
.
.
<[ The System informs you that Vida has intervened and releases this information to you due to the current Taboo-breaking being performed ]>
.
.
<[ The System informs you that there are 2 Anomalous Entities in agreement with the Ascendants ]>
.
.
<[ The System informs you that Summoning Rituals are being prepared for 25 Anomalous Creatures ]>
.
. <[ The System wishes you to obtain victory over those who break the balance of creation ]>
"..." (me)
"This is worse than I thought?" (Lena)
"Can you see it too?" (me)
"Our Authority in the System comes from yours, we are branched from You." (Cortana)
"But that doesn’t matter now, they will move, we need to be quick." (Cortana)
The twins exchanged a look and began to move, they acted together with Irina in modifying the Ritual, they added another ritual above this one, it was a magic circle created from the energy of death and life.
The two Rituals seemed to complement each other when a column of light formed, my mother and I felt the change in the environment, I knew what I had to do when I cut my hand and used my blood to directly connect the two Rituals, while my mother waited while the power of this ritual expanded more and more.
"< Ritual of Unholy Rebirth: Activate >" (Lena/Cortana/Irina)
"< Expand and Integrate >" (Lena/Cortana/Irina)
A cylindrical barrier forms around the ritual, while another barrier forms and expands on the outside, distorting space as it integrates with it. The mirrored space begins to form in response outside of Okan as the barrier integrates with him, spreading far beyond what it should in seconds.
I, as well as the other Gods, were able to perceive this. It was a very large mundane in the very structure of the universe. It was as if a predator was lurking within this barrier.
As if responding to this thought, something very far away turned its eyes to me. It was very familiar and at the same time alien. Soon after, I felt the presence of Vida and Norte for a millisecond before they disappeared along with the gaze I felt. That alone was enough to make my heart race.
"(What was that!?)" (me)
"Master, we have a problem, they started it!" (Nix)
Nix suddenly finds himself raising his voice in warning, I knew the Ascendants would move, they realized they were discovered and are accelerating their plans.
Everyone starts to pass by the dark Dragon head that comes out of the shadows of the Communal Temple, but before I can pass, Cortana and Lena stop me.
"I received a message from the system when activating the Ritual, it seems that our ’mothers’ decided to intervene, strengthening the ritual even more." (Cortana)
"Will it work?" (me)
"Their interference only increased the range, but I believe it will work, but they still need to die to activate its effects." (Lena)
"That won’t be a problem..." (me)
Leaving through the portal, I found myself once again outside Tarzor looking at the sea of waiting enemies, but this time multiple magic circles appeared, none of them were simple, there were 25 among them that emitted as much power as the creature of mist that I faced in my loss of control.
These 25 magic circles were made of multiple Dunes, all of them began to absorb the Transformed as if they were holes through which the water flowed without stopping, everything was so fast that it was a horrible scene since everyone here could feel the thick energy of death growing in that area showing the great volume of lives lost at the same time.
Half of the billions of lives were lost like that, the magic circles shone incandescently as they broke into holes through which the presence of those creatures emanated.
The other half of the Transformed, meanwhile, were suddenly disintegrating as streams of power, life, Soul power and mental power were sucked into a stream that crossed space as if it were being claimed by someone. A large gate appeared, breaking space as a strong thirst for blood took over this entire area of the universe as it opened.
"This is worse than you said, Selene..." (Akatosh)
"That power, it is one of the catastrophes, the Entity of War..." (Hatlas)
It seems that my mother had passed on what we had discovered to the other Gods. We were all prepared for combat. Some of them seemed especially savage, eager to destroy our enemies, such as my mother, my sister Natasha, Akatosh, Adella, the Goddess of the Fairies, the God of War and the God of Justice.
Suddenly the God of War became enraged, his killing intent was burning brighter than everyone else’s, it was as if his Divine Aura was making the war drums resound by his mere presence, even my heart was beating with a desire to see him fight more intensely, yet no one stepped forward to fight.
Everyone here was strong and intelligent, no matter how angry the Gods present here were feeling at seeing billions of their own people not only transformed by force into enemies, but also being consumed as fuel in such acts of genocide, no one would go into battle blindly just to die.
Everyone waited to see the Anomalous Creatures that were emerging as well as what would actually come out of that large gate that suddenly appeared.
Not to mention that the Ascendants had not yet appeared, they would not just stand by and watch, they must be nearby and would most likely appear from that gate.
The first thing that appeared were the Anomalous Creatures, each one of them was an equal aberration, they were Golems made from planets and I can say this with certainty since I can still feel the presence of living Worlds seeing them, there were 20 of these Golems and right behind it there were 5 Creatures the same as the one I faced, that damned black mist in humanoid form with a red orb like a big eye where its head should be.
The Ascendants were with those things, there were more than 100 Level 3 Ascendants, their numbers were much smaller than I expected, they didn’t come through the gate as I imagined, but it doesn’t matter, at least now I know what I would face.
As for whoever appeared from the great gate, my eyes fell on the army of worn-out armor filled with bloodstains and marks of countless battles, all emanating endless killing intent, there were also monstrous creatures that emanated a savage Aura of pure hunger, it was easy to confirm that the two entities helping the Ascendants are War and Famine.
