Will of chaos-Chapter 1748: Cap 1746: Hellish Arrival Part 6

I didn’t expect the Entities of War and Hunger to join the Ascendants, I don’t know what the Ascendants have done to hire them, but it makes things more difficult for me.

"(Master!)" (Orion)

Thought acceleration is not something natural, maintaining such a state for long periods of time can only be harmful, but as soon as I heard the voice of the only Familiar who was not present, I knew there was something I needed to hear, which becomes impossible in the midst of this battle.

But the mind is freer than the body and the perception of time varies with the circumstances, accelerating my mind to the limit was as if everything was in slow motion, the same is true even for my body.

I concentrate on the link I have with Orion reaching him with my mind, then his mind accelerates along with mine.

"Where are you and what do you have to report?" (me)

"Master, you need to know..." (Orion)

-----------------

Pov Davoth:

Before Zenos arrived.

I walk through the forest after feeling that energy seal the space and the altered nature of this place itself intensifying the isolation of this place.

Soon in a garden where 7 to 8 people were already waiting, one among these people was seriously injured, his body was recovering quickly.

All of these people are Ascendants or perhaps it would be better to say that almost everyone here is Ascendant, so my eyes turn to the hooded person.

I then turn my eyes to the only one with a hostile Aura in place, one of Zenos’ Divine Beasts, if I’m not mistaken his name was Orion, the creature created through Zenos’ Blood and Selena’s Divinity when purifying a devastated city.

"Orion, they are not your enemies, I don’t know how you got here, but listen before you attack, none of them are pointing their weapons at you." (me)

"That doesn’t make them any less of an enemy, just as you can’t be considered an ally now." (Orion)

"They are with me... at least most of them." (me)

My eyes turn to the hooded person I didn’t expect to find here, it was a real surprise, so I turn my attention to Orion.

"Since you’re here, then stay and listen before you make a decision, it’s not like anyone here can destroy or seal you." (me)

"..." (Orion)

Hearing my words, he calms his Aura and lies on the ground with his head raised. I didn’t lie in anything I said. If he is killed, his Soul will simply return to Zenos where he will be Reborn. Even if we tried to seal him, it would be useless. Zenos’ Divine Beasts are so linked to him that they can be summoned to his side at any time, regardless of the Seals placed between them. Only if I sent him to another universe could I prevent this, which would also be difficult since he could kill himself to avoid it.

Seeing that he at least won’t attack for now, I let my attention return to the biggest question mark in this place, the woman wearing the hood. I didn’t expect to see her here.

"(It’s been a long time, Nala...)" (me)

"Nala, it’s been a long time. I didn’t expect to see you again." (me)

"So you were involved with them, I should have known, their Auras are slightly different from other Ascendants, I don’t sense that stupid pride in them." (Nala)

Nada stands up looking at me as she takes off her hood, her appearance was not breathtaking like other women around us now, her appearance was average, her black hair shaved on the side and tied in a ponytail give an adventurous air together with the tattoo on her neck that resembles a Thunderbolt.

Her golden eyes are the most striking thing about her, her wings also make her look like an Ascendant even though she is not.

"Why did you come here?" (me)

"She saved me when she was about to be killed, she was in the middle of the Chaos Bringer’s fight against the Ascendants." (Ephiliel)

"..." (me)

I look at Nala who just stares at me without saying anything, I know what she wants and also who she serves, the only creature created by the power of the Ascendant Law and yet she is not an Ascendant, a servant of that entity.

"She sent you." (me)

"She always supported you, but she didn’t interfere. If it were up to me, she would have killed you and looked for another way." (Nala)

"There is no other way." (me)

"There is always another way when what we seek are different things." (Nala)

"She doesn’t think so, or she wouldn’t have sent you to the Chaos Bringer." (me)

"Did she also ask you to protect them?" (me)

"Yes..." (Nala)

"Especially Ephiliel, her self-destructive tendencies are quite worrying, but her power is essential. I can’t let her die." (Nala)

"..." (Ephiliel)

I turn to Ephiliel, even without knowing anything, I can imagine what happened, if they were fighting Zenos, then she must have found one of Zenos’ Wives, the one called Freya and the Universal Tree, for Ephiliel who is so full of guilt and regret, meeting Freya must have been almost unbearable.

"This will not happen again..." (Ephiliel)

"Ephiliel, your safety is important to us, there is no other Ascendant in our ranks who can replace you." (me)

As I spoke to Ephiliel, the other Ascendants showed a change in their expressions, Valius who had a weaker expression stepped forward to speak.

"We don’t have time for this, Zenos should arrive today, they are using the crushing strategy, 2 Entities were hired in addition." (Valius)

"That’s a lot of firepower, it’s not like the Ascendants to act so aggressively and hastily." (me)

"Zenos has something the 3 leaders want, something essential for their next Ascension." (Nala)

"They tried hard to get it on the way here and failed, Zenos attracted Creatures of the Abyss and even Generals of the Abyss as a third force impeding their plans." (Nala)

"After that, their resistance was greater than expected in the subsequent waves of invasion, they expected to succeed this time, I imagine." (Nala)

"..." (me)

New novel 𝓬hapters are published on freёwebnoѵel.com.

"(That changes my plans...)" (me)

"Should we attack the Ascendants from behind?" (Arlan)

"That would put everything at risk, they would notice the traitors in their ranks, something that was never a concern before." (Valius)

"Valius is right, let’s not interfere too much in this attack, we need to make them retreat..." (me)

The crushing plan is to use Anomalous Creatures along with an army to crush the enemies, but hiring the forces of 2 Anomalous Entities seems like they are going all out to secure victory.

"What are the hired Entities?" (me)

"How many Anomalous Creatures will be used?" (me)

"How many and what is the average strength of the Ascendants in this fight?" (me)

"There will be 100 Level 3 Ascendants, we will have a few thousand more Level 2 preparing the Rituals." (Ellyos)

"We will also have over 4 billion Golems in our army, with the addition of 39 billion Transformed used as sacrifices in the ritual or as payment for hired forces." (Ellyos)

"..." (me)

Even I was at a loss for words, the number of lives was too high and they would all be killed in seconds, a strategy like this had never been used before, they really were desperate.

I turn my eyes to Orion, his murderous intent was clear for all to see, but I can’t blame him after hearing that.

I turn to Ellyos, to get this detailed information, I imagine he is the one responsible for the ritual, his power consists mainly of Summoning and Magic.

"Which Anomalous Creature has Zenos fought while he was here?" (me)

"The Eye of Darkness... he defeated it alone..." (Ephiliel)

"Ellyos, then continue with the ritual, but use only the World Golems and Eyes of Darkness..." (me)

"You’re letting this continue!!???" (Orion)

Just as I expected, he reacted to my mention of continuing with the sacrifices, but there is nothing I can do about it.

"We can’t expose ourselves, not now, after this battle the invasion plan against them will be put into practice, only then will we be able to..." (me)

"Do you think this explanation would convince my master!?" (Orion)

"..." (me)

Sigh

"Just stay quiet, creature of blood, do you think you have any choice? They’ll do it one way or another. Lives may be lost, but Souls won’t." (Nala)

"I’ll recover the Souls and give them to you. Do whatever you want, whether it’s bringing these people back or giving them Reincarnation to follow the natural cycle." (Nala)

"I appreciate it." (me)

I don’t like doing things this way, but us showing them now won’t decrease the number of victims. It will increase that number exponentially.

"Orion, we can’t get everything we want, but I’ll help as much as I can." (me)

"Choosing the Anomalous Creatures is already a great advantage for you." (me)

"What are the two Anomalous Entities, Ellyos?" (me)

"The War and Famine Entities..." (Ellyos)

"I understand War, they’ve been in business with the Ascended for thousands of years, but why is the Hunger Entity that has always been so savage together?" (me)

"Alright, at least this can be resolved more easily." (me)

"Orion, relay this message to Zenos and the Ascended allied forces will retreat, forcing them to do the same after the Anomalous Creatures are defeated." (me)

"He just needs to..." (me)
