Will of chaos-Chapter 1603: Cap 1601: Thousands of years old scheme
Everyone was calm and well, all the thorn creatures had been defeated, the flower from before had been destroyed, and the head that Aurora wanted was in our possession.
As strange as that column of light was, no one cared because they didn’t see any apparent reaction in the surroundings, so everyone dismissed it all, so only I was terrified.
"(That column of light... went to the egg...?)" (me)
This thought consumed my mind, this whole situation was very strange from the start, the Tree of the End was clearly in this hole before, we saw it coming out to attack from here.
The plant monsters full of thorns must have been its doing too, that last flower also emanated its power for a few seconds, clearly all of this was planned to be carried out in stages where the thorn monsters accumulated power before entering that flower that contained the Divine head, all of this just to transmit this power.
Transmit it to what?
Hand over so much power at the level of a God to who?
For some reason the image of the egg cracking won’t leave my mind, the Tree of End was clearly heading towards the egg earlier before I intercepted its path and it seemed like I forced it to advance some kind of pre-established plan.
"Aurora, take the head and let’s get out of here." (me)
"I’m trying, but the two Deities are weakened and almost collapsing." (Aurora)
"Samara, help her retrieve the head safely." (me)
"Understood." (Samara)
"< Chaos Bonds >" (Samara)
Starfire emerges from her hands transforming into chains, there is no Divine power behind them and not even destructive power, they are pure flow of energy in constant change without keeping anything fixed.
These chains surround the head with two faces that begin to float, the waves of disordered Aura and the rest of uncontrolled Divine Power emanate from the head, but are absorbed by the current flowing through it and joining the eternal transformations, becoming a part of the current while calming the turbulence of the head that is finally under our control.
"Now we can get out of here..." (me)
"< Curse of the Eclipse: Hellish Punishment >" (Samara)
Cough Cough Cough
Suddenly a wave of murderous intent emerges along with Samara’s voice, two waves of power collide and when I turn my attention to what was happening.
That’s when I saw Samara with more than 80% of her chest pierced by a large hole, but not just blood inside her, her organs seem to be made of constellations while she contains a starry sky in flames inside her with everything chained like an eternal purgatory and it was these broken chains leaking her blood.
Even so, she moved towards me while from that hole a column of flames emerged, taking the form of a Demonic being falling into an arm that came out of space. This arm had a wooden gauntlet covered in strange symbols.
"SAKURA!" (me)
"< Eclipse Ki: Truth of All Life >" (me/Sakura)
Two waves of power emerge from the two of us that collide, creating a wave of vital energy carrying the Authority of Chaos. All Vitality that comes into contact with this wave of power will react by exploding into a unique Aura, causing a reaction in the individual’s power flow.
It is not an offensive or defensive technology, but there is nowhere to hide from this technique or how to deceive this technique. All truth is revealed, all life expands and prospers in its transformations.
As the energy wave surges, the plants, the remains of the thorn creatures, and even our people release varying degrees of Aura filled with a unique type of Vitality, assuming our true forms.
For me, it was a Dragon form containing a starry sky with countless crystal paths that appeared above me, for Ragnar, it was a Centaur with horns possessing many swords on its body, for Nix, it was a Dragon made of a night sky, for Samara, it was a beautiful woman with eyes made of blood covered in chains and shackles while smiling defiantly.
Each one’s Aura covered in Vitality assumed different forms and only 2 were not effective, Hinata had no Vitality to begin with, she is a Specter while the second was Callidora who is merely an illusion, an illusory ghost that only exists near Niryna and as such has no Vitality.
But I wasn’t even looking at them much, my eyes were focused on the place where Samara was attacked, the hand was still in that place, blue blood dripping through the cracks in the gauntlet that emanates an air of death.
The Aura full of Vitality explodes from that arm along with the rest of the body making the space where he was hiding appear, it was a man wearing glasses, he was dressed in a long suit and his skin was green as well as his eyes, his hair was short brown combed back.
On his other arm there was another gauntlet, there was also a wooden crown on his head where a jewel that looked like amber shone surrounded by green crystals, on his back there were 3 pairs of wings with leaves in place of feathers with their structure appearing to be made of wood.
He looked very angry, but he was not alone, the space around him continued to crack revealing more individuals, there were dozens of them with some wearing wooden armor and others wearing cloaks of leaves, most had 2 pairs of wings while only two others had 3 pairs of wings and dressed the same way as the man with glasses, they were a younger man and woman.
The Vitality of all of them surged and it was as if the man with glasses became more than just an individual, an entire planet was formed by his Vitality Aura while those with two pairs of wings had their Vitality Auras taking the form of trees, only the other man and the woman with 3 pairs of wings had their Vitality Auras taking the form of different forms, with the man having his Vitality Aura taking the form of a Wooden Giant and the woman having her Vitality Aura taking the form of a forest.
But that wasn’t the point, the power that everyone was emanating was something I knew very well, the power of the Ascendant Law, they are all Ascendants with three of them being Level 3 Ascendants while all the others being Level 2 Ascendants.
Their power was strong and they were aware of this power that affected all of them, but after everything that happened it was clear that it wasn’t an attack, so everyone turned their eyes to me.
"You really are a thorn in our side, Zenos." (Glasses Man)
"I’ll take that as a compliment." (Me)
"You came for the head, but I still need it, give it back and I can let you go this time." (Glasses Man)
"It seems like I missed something, when did your opinion start to matter to me?" (Me)
"Don’t try to act tough in front of me, you’ve used up too much of your power and we outnumber you." (Glasses Man)
"Only 3 of you are real threats, so don’t waste our time!" (Glasses Man)
He was right, they are a strong group, the power of all of them together surpasses ours, this idiot’s strength is clearly equal or perhaps even superior to that Sun Rising I faced during the Battle against Baldr.
If we fight we could fall into a disadvantage very quickly, but I can’t let them do whatever they want, it’s more than clear that they care more about their heads than our presence here, this means that whatever they are doing is more important and they have limited time or they wouldn’t be wasting time talking.
"(Don’t let them take the head!)" (me)

"(Yes!!!)" (everyone)
With a telepathic command I let everyone know that we will not surrender, I cannot let the Ascendants get what they want, any goal of theirs is always taking into account an entire universe.
"Sir, we should finish them off..." (Ascendant Woman)
"I didn’t ask for your opinion, shut up!" (Glasses Man)
"Excuse my boldness..." (Ascendant Woman)
"I felt the power of the Ascendant Law in the Tree of the End, you were conspiring together." (me)
"What we do or don’t do is none of your business, just answer the question." (Glasses Man)
"Are you going to hand over the head and leave or did you force my hand!?" (Glasses Man)
As he spoke, he raised his hand that was affected by Samara’s curse, then clenching his hand into a fist, the entire curse broke while a crystal-clear green flame appeared on his gauntlet.
The blood that dripped from him stopped flowing as his wounds healed, but the blood that fell to the ground created trees and plants that spread more and more, in a few minutes a forest had already formed at the bottom of this large well.
"You know, I’ve never been afraid of a little difficulty, but you on the other hand, even if you win, you’ll still lose whatever it was you were trying to achieve here... hahahaha..." (me)
As I laughed, Samara’s injured body was already healed, her expression didn’t change at all, to begin with, she can’t even be killed as long as I exist, that’s the level of restrictions her existence has.
"Thousands of years of preparation, so much time spent, so much invested... you have truly infuriated me... daring to stand in my way now of all times!!!" (Glasses Man)
