“Zenos…” (Urd)
She looks at me and her body blinks, the shadowy silhouette changed position as if there was a cut in her movement, one moment she was sitting leaning against the tree trunk and the next she was sitting on the branch with both legs hanging down looking at me, I didn’t see her movement which made me realize that she still doesn’t have a Soul per se or that Soul is still in the process of synchronizing with the body.
“Do you remember anything?” (me)
“Yes, I’m still myself.” (Urd)
“So your consciousness remains the same as your ego.” (me)
“How do you feel now?” (me)
“I… I don’t know how to explain it, there are so many new sensations, so many things that I’m experiencing for the first time…” (Urd)
“My physical senses are so different from those I felt when I had an Ascendant…” (Urd)
“I can feel something beyond my energy, I can feel a true Soul, having a true Soul like that is… strange, my Soul seems to be a way of containing and connecting the source of my powers as well as a materialization of myself.” (Urd)
“My mind is also empty, I only hear my own thoughts, I only have my own emotions and memories… I feel so light…” (Urd)
“So you’re no longer connected to them, to the Ascendants?” (me)
“I feel like you are… but I can’t fully understand…” (Urd)
“I have what you call instinct now, my emotions are stronger, my mind is faster, I feel… I feel… how can I describe this…?” (Urd)
“You feel complete…” (me)
“Yes, I feel complete… that’s exactly how it feels.” (Urd)
“It seems like you don’t understand your power, does it?” (me)
“My power seems to have changed, I feel like my mastery over the power of the Law has increased, it was as if before I could only understand the theory… but I didn’t have the ability to put it into practice, which is what I’m doing now.” (Urd)
“I feel strange, there are so many things happening at the same time, I’ve never felt curious before and now this is the most predominant emotion.” (Urd)
“(It must be my heart, curiosity has always been what moved my actions.)” (me)
I approach the tree step by step, then I touch its trunk, I could feel the two flows of energies being sucked from the throne and the platform, I could also feel a core pulsing inside, it wasn’t my heart, but it was synchronized with it. “(Something is wrong… everything is too fast…)” (me)
It hasn’t even been an hour since I used my power on her, her transformation is too great and took too much from me, it shouldn’t be so fast, even now it’s accelerating as it consumes the throne and the platform, it shouldn’t be like this, the process is already 80% finished and yet she’s unstable.
That’s why she doesn’t understand her own power, that’s why she can’t control her emotions as well as before and her mind is confused, everything is happening too fast putting a heavy burden on her newly formed body and Soul, the same must be true for her mind.
I look at her, her body blinked once more, then her shadowy body seemed to be falling from the tree and that’s when the scene seemed to be cut, she reappeared sitting at the foot of the tree next to me holding her head, I tried to touch her head and my hand went through, it wasn’t an illusion but rather my hand entering her Divine Realm.
She, as a Goddess, was in the middle of building her Divine Kingdom by connecting it to this path under construction, even the Divine Kingdom is being formed at an accelerated pace.
“Why are you doing this? Why are you in such a hurry?” (me)
“What are you talking about?” (Urd)
“You don’t know…? Then just…” (me)
“(She’s doing this subconsciously, maybe it’s her Will responding to her desire.)” (me)
I suddenly realized how dangerous this situation was, she was fragile now, she’s overexerting herself and doesn’t even realize it, she doesn’t understand that she can’t just die but can also cause the destruction of part of my Divine Kingdom when this path of hers follows its destruction.
“(If she herself doesn’t know what she’s doing, talking won’t help, she doesn’t even realize what she’s doing and that’s why I need…)” (me)
“Now is the last part, don’t resist.” (me)
“I’m in your hands…” (Urd)
“(I hope this works.)” (me)
Sigh
“HHHAAAARRRR!!!!!” (Urd)
I take a deep breath before extending my hand through her reaching her Divine Realm, my Chaos power explodes outwards in a storm of Starfire, I burn what energy I have left until my power reaches beyond her Divine Realm reaching her heart, I also stick my other arm into the tree where I grab the pulsating core of the tree in my fingers.
If she wants to accelerate, then that is what I will do, but I will take the weight for myself, this weight means nothing to me, the cycle of power within me grants a unique ability to resist this kind of pressure.
My power invades her body and Soul through the Divine Realm, thus reaching her heart making it resonate with me, my power leaves her Divine Realm to enter her body where the heart spreads to every corner.
Meanwhile my blood flows into the tree nourishing its power and helping to harmonize its power creating a natural cycle within it.
She screamed as my power ran through her Soul just from the outside like a blanket of star flames.
“(This is worse than I thought.)” (me)
Her Soul seemed normal at first glance, but there were several places of fragility where her Soul was close to starting to crack, when it did her entire Soul would be compromised by deep wounds.
Her newly formed body was a flawed vessel, it wouldn’t have the stamina to support a Divine Level Soul for more than a few weeks.
Her consciousness was the only thing that was reasonable, the only problem was that her mind was too tired, she didn’t even realize how much she was pushing herself, how much she was pushing herself to the limit, her anxiety will lead her to ruin like this.
“Try to endure the pain and focus only on my voice, feel my voice passing through you.” (me)
“!!!!” (me)
Helping her wouldn’t be easy and I wasn’t in the best condition at the moment, I needed to use my Aura as a guide for her energy, creating an energy cycle for her wasn’t simple and I didn’t know if it was even possible, so I did something different, I was trying to create two cycles inside her, one for the Divine power and the other for the power of the Law.
If you connect both to nature and also use my heart as the core, this becomes possible, so I went ahead and did it with her following everything my Aura did.
“Aaahhhhh!!” (Urd)
Even screaming in agony from the pain she must have never felt before, she demonstrated incredible concentration, creating a Cycle within herself isn’t that difficult when you have the right tools, like my heart, the power of the Law and the Divine power.
“Haa… haa… haa… haaa….” (Urd)
“I’m sorry…” (me)
“Ghhhaaahhhhhh!!” (Urd)
Within minutes her screams diminish until they become just heavy breathing, then I make my power explode in stellar flames that cover both this shadowy silhouette and the tree behind her, her screams of pain give me a bit of agony because I know what is happening, her newly formed body is being destroyed and reformed once again, her Soul is being melted and remodeled as her energy pathways intertwine with each other through the stellar flames.
I went through something similar when I devoured the True Dragon Bloodline in the past, in her case the changes are much greater.
The throne and the platform had disappeared before I knew it until there was nothing left, the screams continued for a few more seconds while the tree rose from within the flames even more beautiful than before, the tree this time looked like a natural work of art, its branches are like outstretched arms and the leaves now look like clumps of energy, the trunk of the tree vaguely resembles the contours of a woman, the two crystal scales tied by chains full of Runes are held by the two branches that seem to be delicately gripping the chains.
The tree was beautiful, a presence beyond the Divine surrounds the tree giving a bad feeling, the same feeling I had before, now it is much stronger as I move my hands away taking 2 steps back with Urd stopping making any sound.
Soon the stellar flames around Urd stopped, the Divine and Law powers had only become traces of energy that seemed to belong to the same source, something that only confirmed what I had done.
The flames went out revealing not a shadowy silhouette as before, but rather a spectacular mature woman, her body was perfection in itself, her skin was white as marble, her golden hair had black tips and was clearly made of energy, her golden eyes had two black rings inside and her pupil was a vertical red slit, her smile gave way to two teeth longer than the others and her clothes looked like a traditional Japanese outfit full of Law Runes, the 7 pairs of wings behind her were not attached to her back, they were ethereal wings that transcended space and energy being almost conceptual in their existence.
The power being emitted by Urd, even if weak, was still the power of Concept.
“What did I do…?” (me)
