Will of chaos-Chapter 1585: Cap 1583: Price of Power
Pov Ibuki:
I was lying down breathing hard, I didn’t expect to have a fight like this so soon, I couldn’t even move my body when Érica approached me putting my arm around her neck.
"You were reckless." (Érica)
"..." (me)
I didn’t have the strength to answer, I was too tired, I could feel the Power inside me empty and even my Divinity was vibrating as if it could break at any moment.
I only moved my eyes, I was on an asteroid in the middle of what was once a planet, but from now on it’s just a collection of asteroids.
"How is she?" (Kira)
"Alive." (Érica)
"..." (me)
"That’s all I need to know, take it." (Kira)
"Will it work now that we’re Goddesses?" (Érica)
"Yes, it actually amplified the effects, give it to her to drink." (Kira)
While I was listening to their conversation, Kira threw a vial to Érica who opened the vial, the smell was something I recognized very well, after exchanging a few words with Kira, she pushed the vial between my lips to drink it one way or another.
A thick liquid full of power filled my mouth and went down my throat deliciously, it was Zenos’ blood, in a few seconds I was able to recover at least a little.
I replayed everything in my mind about the hours-long fight against that thing, then I looked around until I found Diana, the wounds on her back were serious, but what caught my attention the most was what was in front of her among the rubble of this planet.
It was an Anomalous Dragon, there was only one of them and even so it was almost impossible to fight this bastard 4 against 1.
The power of this bastard was so strong that we were unable to defend ourselves completely and at most we could delay the blows by giving him time to dodge, our own attacks had little effect on him and we could only accumulate the damage while preparing large attacks to launch at the same time at the end.
"Is he dead...?" (me)
"No, but we managed to seal his consciousness using Érica’s curse." (Diana)
"It won’t last forever, but we have enough time to finish sealing him." (Érica)
"Look at his wounds... they’re healing..." (Diana)
We all looked at his body, he was clearly recovering quickly, it seems that all the damage we caused was useless, if he wakes up now we could end up dead.
"How did Zenos fight against these things?" (Kira)
"Our own Divinities had limited effect, the branched power we got from him was what caused these injuries." (Diana)
"Yes, that’s why we came here, if I’m right, this is just a scout, he was watching Zenos, that’s why when we arrived he didn’t notice us, his focus was elsewhere." (Érica)
"What are we going to... do now...?" (me)
"I’m going to build a Divine Seal using our 4 Divinities as the base and the Power of Chaos contained in Zenos’ blood as the core, this Seal will have to be a curse to work even on his Soul." (Érica)
"Then we should do it now and then take him to Zenos, we were lucky to find his tracks by coincidence." (Diana)
"It wasn’t a coincidence, someone showed us the way, am I right?" (Kira)
"Is there anyone else here!?" (me)
"In position!" (Diana)
"..." (Érica)
Even though my body felt weak, I struggled to stand up. The power of Zenos’ blood was still helping me recover, but I was in no condition to fight. It was at that moment that an Elf appeared. He had blue skin and a single chest on his head. He was short, only about 1.50 meters tall.
"You are sharp at noticing. I’m sure you didn’t notice me specifically. Maybe you were too obvious with the clues."

"Who are you!?" (Diana)
"I’m nobody, just an envoy. Unfortunately, I can’t stay any longer."
"< Open >"
Suddenly, chains appeared around his neck. The chains stretched through space, seeming to bring something. Then, cracks appeared before skeletal hands pulled the fragments of space inward, opening space for a bone gate, releasing a horrifying presence.
"Thank my lady by handing over this enemy of yours to her to add to her collection."
The gate opens and that person smiles in our direction before disappearing inside the portal that closes behind him with the space recovering as the gate disappears.
We all exchanged glances, the same thought going through our heads, that gate and horrifying energy only mean one thing.
Hell
"Callidora." (Kira)
"Yes... she manipulated us..." (me)
"But in a way that was good." (Diana)
"This might not be the only one, we have to hurry and get out of here." (Érica)
It was more than clear that we were used by Callidora, that is not pleasant to know, but at least we gained something from it, we discovered that there was still at least one Anomalous Dragon in the universe, we also got rid of it.
She certainly wanted something, but at least this time it favors us.
"Follow my command during the sealing." (Érica)
-----------------
Pov Alice:
Just now we were seeing Zenos’ suffering, the consequences of having used the power of his new technique.
"(This is worse than before during his training...)" (me)
Zenos was in his Dragon form, but his scales were all broken, red Holy Power was evaporating from his body along with the smell of blood forming a red mist around him.
His eyes were red and just getting closer to him, closer than 10 kilometers was enough to make anyone’s blood heat up to boiling point.
All the veins in his body move so wildly and powerfully that every time they collide with each other shockwaves emerge from his body, this happens all the time.
His body looks dry and full of wounds, mainly burns, but his regeneration seems to be ineffective as none of his wounds show signs of recovery.
"Why isn’t he healing!?" (me)
"Because his healing power comes from the blood aspect of his power, that was exactly what he pushed beyond the limit." (Adella)
The mist of red Holy power was around him, but it wasn’t dispersing or spreading, it was just accumulating; as time passed, traces of the power of Life and Death were increasingly noticeable within.
"This isn’t good..." (Adella)
"Trust the Master." (Hades)
"What’s going on?" (me)
"..." (Samara)
At that moment the Goddess of Blood appears next to us. She was walking closer to Zenos, but as soon as she reached where we were, she was stopped by Samara, who stretched her arm in front of her.
"What are you doing?" (Goddess Selene)
"Politely asking you not to interfere." (Samara)
"He is my son. Right now, his Soul is being corroded by the collision of the powers of Life and Death. His body is overloaded, healing itself at the same time that the damage is being done, making it impossible to recover from the oldest injuries. Yet you want me to just stand there and watch!?" (Goddess Selene)
"Yes, that’s why I’m telling you to stay away if you don’t want to see." (Samara)
"You’re too bold to stand in front of me." (Goddess Selene)
"You’re not the first Goddess who would go against it." (Samara)
"Do you think you’re going to make me go against you with such a weak performance?" (Goddess Selene)
"..." (me)
I looked around, all the Gods arrived and were just watching the Dragon God also arrived next to Goddess Selene and placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Wait, there must be a reason, right?" (God Akatosh)
"..." (Samara)
"She won’t tell, he asked her not to tell." (Niryna)
"Tell what?" (Goddess Selene)
Niryna also approached with her 3 Demons following behind, but the one all the Gods were looking at was not any of the 4 but that tiny translucent woman sitting on top of Niryna’s head.
"So much Divine attention... hahahaha..." (Callidora)
"..." (Samara)
"Don’t look at me like that, the boy’s wishes don’t matter to me, besides, they won’t interfere, they don’t have the ability." (Callidora)
"..." (God Akatosh/Goddess Selene)
"(What did you do this time, Zenos...?)" (me)
"The idiot is refining his Divine Weapons using the powers of Life and Death, he’s infusing them with the power of the Law, this will be his only chance to do so since he’s paying the price for using a technique that hurts even the Universe itself." (Callidora)
"Even if you get close, even if you’re Gods or stronger than him, you’ll still be hurt." (Callidora)
"..." (Samara)
"Why does he need to do this?" (God Akatosh)
"Because he almost had to use a technique he hadn’t mastered and he must have thought of a way..." (Callidora)
"Please stop... my master wouldn’t like to be disturbed at this moment and I hope all the Gods respect his wish." (Hades)
"..." (Samara)
"(They’re hiding something...)" (me)
I look away from them and look back at Zenos, that’s when I saw his Shadow, stars were shining weakly, almost imperceptibly, I also saw Tarzor’s eye opening revealing the outlines of a tree inside.
I couldn’t understand what was happening, but I was sure of one thing, he was being reckless again.
