Will of chaos

Chapter 1849 - 1849: Cap 1847: The new Urd part 5

Pov Barerosa:

I couldn’t believe it, there were too many things to absorb, too many things to know at once, so many memories in my head about the Ascended, about the 3 thrones, about the Entities, about the Universes of the outer rim, about the void in the Ascended, about the maximum category Experiments, about the traitorous Ascended, about Experiment No. 89 and about an Ascended Goddess that I never imagined would exist.

Every aspect of what I thought was possible was wrong, everything was a lie or so superficial that it was stupid to never have seen through.

How did I not notice the void of the Ascended when I was one of them before becoming a true Ascended?

How did I not notice that Zenos was very different from the other Ascended?

How did I never question my orders when we were all heading towards destruction where not even Souls remained?

How did I never notice the traitors when their feelings were so detachable?

How come I never considered Divinity as something to be studied deeply?

There were so many things that I missed because of how I always grew up in the doctrine of the Ascendants as the apex of all creation.

“(I couldn’t be so wrong… it couldn’t all be false…)” (me)

Not even the Ascendants could lie so much, truth and knowledge are the core of our beliefs, fighting and conquering is not wrong, I’ve been to other universes and participated in campaigns of conquest.

I saw nations fighting and warring over things like territory, differences between their religions and even prejudices against their different races, completely meaningless fights, I remember it clearly because it was the first time I saw it.

What we Ascendants do is no different, we are one people conquering another, the only difference is in scale, we are not wrong, I have seen some nations using conquered territories to exploit resources, I have seen a nation torture prisoners for information and I have seen prisoners being used for poison, magic and curse tests.

The Ascendants do the same, we use the losers of the confrontation for our experiments and learn more, we are developing from the conquest, we are not wrong, we are not evil beings because of this, we even adopted the population of the conquered universes into our universe.

“I am not wrong… am I…?” (me)

I look around, I was on the balcony of the Palace of Zenos with a view of an infinity of stars, a beautiful view, the way the stars spread out, there was no symmetry or pattern and yet it was beautiful.

“Why were there traitors if we were not wrong…?” (me)

I stood up and stood on the edge of the balcony looking at the stars, but what was going on in my mind was not the scene that my eyes reflected, I was trying to understand the memories that Zenos implanted in my head with the beliefs that I always had.

But no matter how much I think, some of the memories stand out like the one of the Traitors among the Ascendants, Zenos’ memories about Kaan especially move me, his story was a tragedy and the pain in his eyes, I have no words to describe.

Apart from the traitors, the occurrences that the Ascendants consider common, the invaders, always making indiscriminate attacks and almost always suicidal, are all always of different races and different universes, but their murderous intent always scares me, in their moment of death none of them ever cries, laments or begs for lives, all that exists in their eyes at the moment of their deaths is endless resentment.

If it were just one universe or another it would be one thing, but so many different universes, now the Traitors, not to mention that even this Goddess who should be on our side is also against us, all of this, so many enemies and no allies.

“If everyone is against us, are we the ones in the wrong…?” (me)

I was lost about what to think and the more I thought, the less than pleasant image formed in my mind, that’s when a memory of mine came to my mind, a recent memory when my heart beats faster, the day I saw Mr. Bond.

“(Mr. Bond never existed… he was always the wanted Bringer of Chaos, Zenos…)” (me)

“Zenos used me to hide?” (me)

“He saved me, why?” (me)

“I mean nothing to him, so what does he gain from it?” (me)

“What did I like about him in the first place?” (me)

“His Law… was different…” (me)

Suddenly a realization came to mind, the reason I was always attracted to him and the reason Ernani was so afraid of him is the same, his Law was different and we knew it.

His Law was not as dominant and rigid as the others, even his secondary Laws are strong and not just a complement to his main Law, there was also no rigidity in his way of manipulating his energy, it was not a way of containing a pattern but rather something more natural as if he accepted it as part of him.

“Why was his Law so different?” (me)

Suddenly I remember a phrase that I heard an Ascendant say to a companion in the past, I was close by and heard it well.

“(You know, we just stole the Essences and Divinities before forging them into Laws, but that’s so… so… how can I put it…)” (Ascendant A)

“(Rigid, they use their power as a mere tool, the magic they learned in the past had so many possibilities and theories, yet I must admit that the Ascendant Laws are strong.)” (Ascendant B)

“(Yes, the Laws are almost Divine Weapons, tools to be used, not energies to be manipulated, so why don’t they try using Laws of their own, creating Laws from scratch instead of transforming Divinity and Essences into Laws?)” (Ascendant A)

“(At that point the Law would truly be a natural energy that could be used better…)” (Ascendant A)

“(Don’t talk nonsense you idiot, that’s fundamentally impossible, Laws are not natural…)” (Ascendant B)

“…” (me)

“A natural… Law…” (me)

Suddenly I remember Zenos’ wings, there were 5 pairs of wings, he was a Level 5 Ascendant, it was something that even the 3 Thrones had not achieved yet and yet he achieved it, his Law was something born from him and not artificially forged.

This realization blew my mind once again, everything fits into a single mistake that triggers a disaster, a mistake caused by arrogance, inferiority and bitterness.

“The Ascendant Law… if it weren’t for the Ascendant Law…” (me)

My Aura goes haywire and my power of the Law makes my wings vibrate with the feathers swaying on their own.

The Ascendant Law is fundamentally flawed, the resources we extract from other universes causing their ruin is only to sustain a sick universe longer, the Ascended share this disease due to the super controlled environment in which they live, the Ascended continue to steal Gods to achieve a greater order only because they cannot give up the power they already have.

“A cycle of misfortune where we will never reach the perfection we claim to be, a continuity of limitless destruction, our own existence will always cause greater destruction.” (me)

“We are not the conquerors… we are a disease…” (me)

Tears

Before I realized it I felt myself squeezing something in my hands, something Zenos left behind before he left, my tears fall on the medallion that glows faintly with an imposing energy.

“Are you proud of what you are?” (???)

“…” (me)

Pov Zenos:

The power being emitted by Urd, even if weak, was still the power of the Concept.

“What did I do…?” (me)

She wore what I could only consider a Kimono, it was beautifully decorated with golden Runes while its color was black, inside there was another one of silver color and the belt was of another dark shade with purple lines, the sleeves were long with wide mouth completely hiding the arms, her shoulders and neck were exposed, she was beautiful in many ways, her bearing was graceful, her presence was dignified, her gaze no matter how intense it was seemed to contain endless care, her appearance did not match her gentle Aura.

“What have you done? What power is this?” (Urd)

“I… I, how can I explain…?” (me)

“My power of Law and my Divine power are nowhere to be found, but I can still feel the power of the Essences as well as the aspect of the Law itself that I possessed, this doesn’t make sense…” (Urd)

“…” (me)

She herself was checking the changes in her, if before she was confused by pushing herself beyond the limit, now I can see the understanding of what she has become, but I also see the disbelief in admitting what she has become, perhaps she knows what she is and just doesn’t understand her new identity, which would be understandable.

“You have become an Entity, the power you feel now is the power of the Concept that is above the powers of Law and Essence.” (me)

“An Entity? Then how can I have a Body if…” (Urd)
