Will of chaos-Chapter 1655: Cap 1653: Second chance and determination

Pov Luci:

I was just outside watching, stopping that thing was as easy as I expected, Hell doesn’t have much freedom within the Universes and its interest is always fickle, just like I heard.

"Now I just hope everything goes as it seemed, I’m not sure if the real key was with Arsan, it was just an optimistic assumption." (me)

As soon as I arrived at this meeting it was easy to see their plan, few things can hide from my eyes, but I was tempted to interfere.

Leaving Arsan so vulnerable bothers me, even though I know he needs to be stopped, I don’t like having his Soul at the mercy of someone unknown.

"You broke your agreement, Luci." (Mavis)

"Life..." (me)

Suddenly a Dragon appears next to me, its body radiating comforting light and heat, its majestic presence was full of infinite Vitality while its body was of magnificent beauty.

"I did nothing but observe..." (me)

"Don’t try to argue, do you think we didn’t notice what you did?" (Kalistos)

"Death..." (me)

Just like the previous Dragon, another one of them appears, this one was as beautiful as the previous one, but its scales were shiny in the darkness between the stars, its presence promising an end that embraces the street and as always the presence of the two blends when interacting as if they were complementary.

"..." (me)

"You interfered in the meeting, strengthened the Chaos Bringer Ritual and also interfered with Arsan’s Seal." (Mavis)

"(So the real Seal really was with him just as I thought... so the real key...)" (me)

"What you did will not pass this time, you made a promise and broke the rules." (Kalistos)

"You have 3 choices, pay with your eye, pay with Arsan’s head or hand over what was granted to you." (Mavis)

"Wait! I can’t give that back, I already used it in my transformation!" (me)

"Then I guess that leaves two options for you." (Kalistos)

"I need the eye, I can’t give it up when I’m so close..." (me)

"What you want is none of our business, you broke our agreement, you shouldn’t support the Anomalous Dragons in their incursions into new universes." (Mavis)

"But here you are interfering with the defenders of this universe and helping to free someone even worse than Arsan." (Kalistos)

"What I’m doing is to stop the Anomalous Dragons!" (me)

"If he is freed, can you guarantee that you’ll be able to stop him?" (Mavis)

"Can you guarantee the safety of this universe and its defenders who would be fine without your interference?" (Kalistos)

"Can you promise that you’ll be able to stop all the Anomalous Dragons with your plan?" (Mavis)

"I can promise..." (me)

"Don’t make promises you can’t keep again or next time I may put the price for failing to fulfill your agreements in the Souls of the Anomalous Dragons." (Kalistos)

"Your promises have lost their value with your attempt to circumvent the rules you promised yourself, there will be no more agreements." (Mavis)

"(They came too quickly and the price is even higher than I expected... I can’t pay any of this now or the whole plan will no longer have meaning.)" (me)

Things were bad, it wasn’t the Dragon Goddesses I feared, I knew better about them to know that they are just Avatars of their own creation, they are beings that I can’t even fully understand, much less go against if they are using their Authority above this universe as they are doing now.

"Wait, wait, wait... I can do whatever you want, anything, just don’t look at me or do anything against Arsan!" (me)

"As I said, your wishes don’t matter and you gave us the premise to act." (Mavis)

"If you don’t choose, I will choose in your place, you have 20 seconds to decide." (Kalistos)

"(No, this can’t end like this, I need the eye and I can’t lose Arsan when I’m so close to saving him!!)" (me)

"(Think Luci! Think!!!)" (me)

It’s been a long time since I felt this scared, the last time was the day I became an Anomalous Dragon, the fear and despair that took me to that moment are unforgettable, I never thought I would feel such a horrible moment again.

My mind was working at its maximum, I knew that trying to argue or beg would be impossible, my destruction would already be guaranteed if it weren’t for the mercy of the Incarnation of Life and there was nothing that could stop the Incarnation of Death from achieving what they were willing to reach out their hands to.

The only thing I could do was offer something more valuable, but what is considered valuable has always been subjective to each individual and those in front of me saw few things as valuable to the point that I couldn’t think of any in such a long time.

Even if I had thought of something, as they said, I really tried to disguise our agreement, I knew it was a risky bet, but I didn’t expect such an immediate and aggressive reaction, I bet too high, I rushed because I was so close and I was cornered by my decisions.

"(Wait, there’s something I can...)" (me)

"Your time is up, keep your eye on me, I’ll take Arsan with me, I’ll make him a Death Guardian..." (Kalistos)

"Wait!! I can offer something better!!" (me)

"As said, your credibility has been lost and your very life is saved by not doing anything over the top, don’t abuse my compassion." (Mavis)

"I know how to stop the Ascendants from reaching level 5!" (me)

"..." (Mavis)

"..." (Kalistos)

"We give you the opportunity to speak!" (Mavis/Kalistos)

Suddenly their presences blend completely as their eyes deepen, they are not just a part of a whole now, their entire consciousness has been focused through these two Avatars.

Just as I thought, they ablaze those who break their concepts and the Anomalous Dragons are but minor problems in their eyes compared to the Ascendants who spread like a disease even in their lack of strength.

"(I didn’t want to resort to this... but I have no choice.)" (me)

The weight I feel now is as if I am being judged, my body and Soul tremble as if they will break before those eyes, I can’t even look directly at them and I close my eyes before I lose my vision.

"I know how Vecna ​​plans to advance and I know where he will do it, I also know how to stop him from completing it." (me)

"Your words mean little more than nothing to us." (Mavis)

"If that’s all, then not only will Arsan be taken, but his eye as well by..." (Kalistos)

"I can guarantee that he will fail, his advancement will be half-finished and he will be trapped in that universe, but to accomplish that I need the Power of Chaos, I swear that I will cooperate with Zenos in his fight against the Ascendants." (me)

"..." (Mavis)

"..." (Kalistos)

"..." (me)

"Your word has lost credibility, so we will impose a punishment along with your second chance." (Mavis)

"A punishment not to you, but to what you value most, all the Anomalous Dragons, their souls will be handed over to me if a level 5 Ascendant emerges." (Kalistos)

"Everyone will be treated equally if Zenos fails to deal with the Ascendants." (Mavis)

"You must ensure that the Anomalous Dragons also cease to exist after dealing with the Ascendants if you succeed." (Kalistos)

"Do you accept the terms!?" (Mavis/Kalistos)

"(I... I did it...)" (me)

"I accept!" (me)

"Don’t fail our agreement again!" (Mavis/Kalistos)

I feel the two legends clashing once more as the weight on my body and Soul disappears, when I open my eyes I see the two Divine Dragons looking at me one last time before disappearing through space.

Sigh

"I... I did it... I really did it..." (me)

Tears

"I can’t fail, I won’t fail!!" (me)

Tears

I look back at the battle happening in the distance and my eyes see through it all until they fall on the one who is the cause of such a battle, his still body shows that he remains in Arsan’s Soul.

"I need him to succeed!!" (me)

My eyes drift away from him as my power gathers in one eye, my power sees through space and the nest where he was equally still, the power around his body fluctuates as I feel the traces of Power emerging from within him forming patterns that did not exist before, the seal was showing itself just as I imagined.

The memories of that time emerging in my mind, long before fear and despair, the day I met you, I still remember what you said.

"(Are you the one they call Luci?)" (Arsan)

"(Could you marry me...? Please...?)" (Arsan)

"(Are you an idiot!?)" (me)

"(No, I’m a researcher... almost a researcher...)" (Arsan)

"(Hahaha... you really are an idiot... hahahaha...)" (me)

Those days were incredible, no one could have expected what was to come, no one could have expected how far we were willing to go to survive.

But I never expected that we would lose ourselves so deeply to the point of not even being ourselves, of becoming such monstrosities.

Tears

"Arsan, I will save you, there is nothing in any universe that will stop me!" (me)

I wiped my tears, I never thought the day would come when I would cry again, but I will not fall into despair again, I will not regret my decisions either, this bet was all I had and I will not let go now, I no longer have that luxury.

The determination to move forward is all that is left, any despair, fear or apprehension are washed away by the certainty of success since any other outcome is unacceptable.

"I will do it!!!" (me)
