Will of chaos-Chapter 1622: Cap 1620: Not just Eliminate...
"What does this have to do with me?" (me)
The sourc𝗲 of this content is freēwēbηovel.c૦m.
As much as my words may be very direct, I’m not lying, there’s no way I’m going to engage in a full-force battle against the Ascendants, I’m not suicidal.
I already have enough problems with level 3 Ascendants in a head-on fight and I’m not even sure I can beat them, I also know that there are Level 4 Ascendants who are no weaker than my mother or other Gods like Akatosh, Cratos and Aine.
That’s why your words now were more than absurd, talking as if the world would end without me, but I can’t understand how Davoth can tell me to go against them.
"If you keep up with all this nonsense I’m going to throw you out again." (me)
"Seriously, another joke?" (Davoth)
"Do you have any idea what you’re asking for? This is insanity." (me)
"I’m fully aware of what I’m saying." (Davoth)
"Master, if you’ll allow me..." (Samara)
"You may speak." (me)
"Perhaps you don’t know, but the estimated number of Ascendants is in the tens of millions, all of them at Divine level." (Samara)
"..." (me)
"That’s impossible, a universe wouldn’t have enough Essences..." (Hades)
"Exactly, a universe wouldn’t be enough, but as we well know, they are conquerors, right?" (me)
"Yes, they’re not like the Gods, their Ascendant Laws are not lost with the destruction of the universe of origin or being removed from there." (Davoth)
"That’s worse than I thought." (Nix)
"Removing an Essence from a universe is like removing its entrails..." (Alice)
"They are clearly selfish, something that was to be expected, but these numbers..." (me)
The Ascendants I have met so far have always been arrogant and selfish, I am not surprised that they go to extremes, what surprises me is their number, with an army of millions of beings at the level of Gods, it would be impossible to win.
I look once more at Davoth, what he is asking goes far beyond insanity, but he seems to have said it on purpose to shock everyone, even so he does not seem to be lying.
"(There’s something wrong with him, I can feel that he hides a great depth within himself.)" (Freya)
"(I felt it too, he seems to be similar to me.)" (Tarzor)
"(Are you saying that he has a living universe like you with him?)" (me)
"(Since I’m not sure, that’s why I said similar.)" (Tarzor)
"(Take care of him, we don’t know who he really is, that’s why I told you to go find your mother during these days.)" (Freya)
During all these days off, I was approached more than once to go find my mother, the Goddess Selene, about the relevant matters of this Davoth guy, but I didn’t want to think about any of that and kept pushing it forward thinking that I already knew enough about him, now it seems that I know nothing.
I thought he was just another Evil God, a little more special because he had two types of Anomalous Power, but it seems I underestimated him too much and now I don’t know anything about him.
On second thought, he could be a Primordial God, if he did the same as me, then it wouldn’t be impossible, it would also explain how he kept his Divinity intact.
"Master, are you okay?" (Sakura)
But none of this says anything about his goals, he’s clearly not as strong as my mother and Gods like Akatosh, nor is he an Anomalous Entity that lives outside the universes.
"Master, are you listening?" (Nix)
Even without knowing anything about him, it doesn’t seem like he’s lying about eliminating the Ascendants, I can see the resolve in his eyes when he said it, but the scale of something so ambitious is ridiculous to the point of total insanity.
"(What kind of grudge does it take to generate such a lunatic...?)" (me)
"Dad, what happened to you?" (Vanessa)
"Huh" (me)
Suddenly someone shakes one of my shoulders and I look at Vanessa who has a worried expression, then I look at the others who also look worried.
"I’m fine... I just got lost in my thoughts." (me)
I look at Davoth, he was calm, his expression, Aura and even his gaze were calm as if waiting for me to absorb his request, he knows it’s absurd.
"How about we get back to the topic at hand, this time I’ll let you speak before I give my answer." (me)
"You must be thinking about refusing, you probably just want to get more information from me before giving a negative answer." (Davoth)
"That would be the right thing to do, what you ask is more than insanity regardless of the plan or motivation." (me)
"I am aware of how crazy I may sound saying this, like this Fallen Saint..." (Davoth)
"Hooo... how do you know about Samara?" (me)
"I know a lot about you, do you think I came to you by chance? I know about you, about those close to you and about your enemies which include the Ascendants." (Davoth)
"Be direct Davoth, I feel like you want to pull me by the nose in certain directions, if this continues I may end this meeting in a similar way to the last time we met." (me)
"I am not doing such a thing, in fact I am being as direct as possible, but in the end I need you to understand a few things." (Davoth)
"I know a lot about the Ascendants, almost everything there is to know." (Davoth)
"I also know a lot about you." (Davoth)
"I’m not in a crazy reverie or talking about attacking them head on." (Davoth)
"I’ve been thinking about this plan for a long time, longer than you can imagine." (Davoth)
Davoth’s eyes flashed with hatred and anger for milliseconds, it was so quick that most didn’t notice, but I know Samara noticed, he must really hold a grudge against the Ascendants.
"I won’t deny that I intend to refuse your request, but at least I’m listening, so speak clearly." (me)
"Do you understand the difference between the Ascendant Laws and the Universal Essences?" (Davoth)
"Yes, one can branch out naturally and vary over time, while the other needs to refine compatible Laws to artificially branch out, thus creating different levels among the Ascendants." (me)
"Correct, that also answers my next question about the levels of the Ascendants." (Davoth)
"Now comes the question, how many levels do the Ascendants have?" (Davoth)
"They have 4 levels as far as I know, the strongest are the leaders and they are few in number." (me)
"Partially correct, in fact the strongest are the 3 leaders who are the only Level 4 Ascendants, but that was not the question." (Davoth)
"What I asked was how many levels do the Ascendants have? To which you answered with 4 levels." (Davoth)
"But you forgot something, the Ascendants are Anomalous creatures, from the beginning they are not something naturally created and their levels were not something that arose with them, it was something born from their experiments to become stronger, theoretically there is no limit to their strength." (Davoth)
"Are you saying there are Level 5 or Level 6 Ascendants?" (me)
"They are trying to reach Level 5, they already have a theoretical basis and have started experiments to advance further in strength, all of this motivated to fix the flaw in their Divine Law, stagnation." (Davoth)
"Conquering other universes only delays their inevitable end, it also draws too much attention to them, dividing their forces, the greater their dominance, the less effect Conquering a universe can have in countering stagnation, which makes them compensate in quantity." (Davoth)
"So they go from one conquest to another." (me)
"Yes, they also carry out several conquests at the same time, with their overwhelming military power and hierarchical culture, they can do this, but not forever and that is why they are desperate to reach new heights." (Davoth)
"So far there are more than 50 main Universes, 471,000 occupied conquered Universes and more than 1,000,000 ruined Universes on the brink of destruction." (Davoth)
"..." (me)
"..." (everyone)
"(...)" (Tarzor)
"(...)" (Freya)
It was simply crazy to hear these numbers spoken so calmly and understand what such numbers mean, each universe has millions of planets at least which in turn can have billions of living creatures on each planet, I can’t even begin to do the math to calculate an approximate number of living creatures in a single Universe and to think of hundreds of thousands of conquered Universes while more than double that absurd number was on the brink of destruction, it was simply unbelievable.
My mind could not conceive of such an image and even if I spent thousands of years thinking about it I would not be able to comprehend the full ramifications of such an atrocity, a genocide on a multiversal level of this scale is beyond comprehension.
I look at everyone seeing different expressions, Niryna shows hatred like I have never seen before, Hades and Alice have disgust in their eyes as if the mere thought of such an act was intolerable, Sakura and Nix only have raw murderous intent, Tarzor has already surpassed simple hatred, he was born from the fragments of broken universes and tirelessly sought to become a complete universe, seeing his purpose of existence being treated as something disposable in this way must be something he cannot even comprehend, Freya on the other hand was the only one showing sadness so deep that it is flowing to me in an overflowing way through our bond.
Only Callidora was still smiling as if it was something common that she was hearing, Samara was the one who showed nothing, her disinterest in the subject was unnerving.
Vanessa, on the other hand, was unconscious, her eyes unfocused from her inability to maintain consciousness while processing such brutality. Of all my daughters, she was always the kindest, and this was a hard blow for her.
Sigh
"I... I..." (me)
I try to speak, but I don’t know where to start. My mind is still trying to replay such a terrifying scenario even though I don’t want to, so my words don’t seem to come out.
"I still can’t help..." (me)
As much as I would like to be the last face that each Ascendant could see at their end, I can’t commit to an undertaking of such a scale. I don’t have that kind of power.
"Eliminating them wouldn’t solve all the problems either..." (me)
The absurd number of ruined universes must already be beyond recovery, and those hundreds of thousands of conquered universes must suffer side effects, even the 50 universes held by them must suffer a heavy blow if all the Ascendants die, that won’t make the Ascendant Laws disappear, in fact I can’t even imagine what would happen.
"Not just Eliminate... I want much more than that." (Davoth)
