Will of chaos-Chapter 1676: Cap 1674: Death is... part 4

Pov Kalistos:

As soon as Zenos fell into unconsciousness, I reached out my arm towards him, covering his large body with a barrier.

"Why protect him like this when I’m not even able to move?" (Sarazar)

"The issue isn’t you." (Kalistos)

I look around, even though we’re inside Tarzor, we haven’t been able to hide everything that happens here, there are many eyes turned in our direction and not all of them are trustworthy.

Among them, the eyes of Kalistos, Mavis and Reincarnation are the only ones I can truly trust, my original one especially must understand what I’m going to do and that’s why her gaze seems so much like a warning.

"(You don’t understand, I know the risks and yet change must start somewhere.)" (me)

I turn to Sarazar, Zenos has gone much further than I thought, the Curse he cast last is accumulating Tarzor’s power while he waits for the completion of what he used on Sarazar to spread the effects.

"You are different, your presence seems to be more... mundane...?" (Sarazar)

"That wouldn’t be a word I would use in my description, but the change between my current state is great enough to use such an analogy." (me)

I contemplate the arrangements of the Runes carved into his Soul as well as the order in which they are connecting, the power of Chaos is serving as a perfect conduit for my concept.

"You gave this technique to him? What does it do? Use my Existence as a core before forcing a Rebirth of a new Soul inheriting everything I am?" (Sarazar)

"Mostly yes, a technique of death and rebirth, but strengthened by my concept... interesting, isn’t it?" (me)

"Zenos has always liked to turn enemies into allies, this is a technique based on many experiences throughout his life, he has used something similar in the past." (me)

"(You understand that it is beyond what I can intervene.)" (Kalistos)

"(Yes, but I can’t stay as I am, my concept seems different, it is death... but it still seems different...)" (me)

"You know Sarazar, I am not the Kalistos you know, but I am also exactly the one who gave this Seal to you." (me)

"..." (Sarazar)

"An Incarnation? No... an Avatar would make more sense..." (Sarazar)

"Neither, I am like a descendant of her, inheriting her memory, personality and concept while still not being her." (me)

"Impossible..." (Sarazar)

I wasn’t saying that to him, there are many eyes here and we can’t hide forever, it shows weakness that would only be an incentive for some, also announcing our existence like this shows that we are prepared for them if they decide to come after us.

I’m sure Mavis will do something similar, everyone fears the unknown, this becomes more true the higher the Authority or power becomes, for Entities that embody the aspects of existence, something unknown is a reason for caution and with that we gain what we need most, time.

"The Impossible is how mortals and secular beings define what is beyond their capacity, there is nothing truly impossible in all existence." (me)

"You who made a deal with the original Bringer of Chaos must know this." (me)

"I would like to say that I was deceived, but she said from the beginning that she didn’t know what would happen..." (Sarazar)

"Despair takes us to extremes from which we have no way of returning." (Sarazar)

"(Stop what you’re doing, if you do that you’ll become a target.)" (Kalistos)

"(I’m already a target, this is my chance to show that I’m more than just a target, it’s also an opportunity to better understand myself and my differences from you.)" (me)

I understand Kalistos, she doesn’t like changes like this, changes lead to unexpected mistakes, which in turn will interfere with many Souls that fall under her responsibility, a chain effect that will splash back on her.

I understand and respect all of this, but some things must be done, I need to prove myself so that I’m not just a target, demonstrating that I have capabilities is one way to do that, revealing myself without fear is another way to do it.

While I spoke to Sarazar and mentally discussed with Kalistos, I was also checking Sarazar’s Soul, the changes were great, he was becoming more and more an Avatar of Hunger, perhaps in another 2300 years there wouldn’t even be his conscience left.

But that wasn’t even the worst, as the Runes connected I could feel the emptiness below more clearly, a Soul being an empty shell only means one thing and that made me understand that my initial suspicions were right.

"You seem disappointed, do you think that just because you lost your Existence you are immune to the power that spreads through your Soul?" (me)

"He can’t affect something that doesn’t exist." (Sarazar)

"If it doesn’t exist, create it." (me)

"< Death >" (me)

"What are you...!!!!" (Sarazar)

"Interesting..." (me)

I waited until all the Runes in his Soul were connected before I began, I focused my concept on the tips of my desires creating claws that I used to penetrate Sarazar’s head.

My concept spread throughout his Soul bringing an end to everything, his Will, his Consciousness, his emotions, his experiences, his whole.

There was really nothing inside his Soul, no trace of his Existence was left, only an Anomalous Core was inside him, he also had his end by my concept.

But I directly noticed the differences in my concept of death compared to what it was before.

Death has always been the end of everything, it cleanses a Soul or existence in preparation for a new journey where I deliver all the Souls for Reincarnation to place on its path.

But now it was different, the concept of death that I have was gathering everything that had been destroyed and nurturing something, it was also changing more and more as if a new form of death was being created, that’s when I felt it emerge, Existence.

Everything that my concept had for an end was used to nurture something that didn’t exist and shouldn’t exist anymore or maybe it was to nurture something that was about to emerge.

"(I see, an existential Paradox... if something exists, then an existence will form.)" (me)

In the same way that a Soul forms around a Spark of Existence, the Spark of Existence forms within a Soul, the Soul itself proves and affirms the presence of an Existence.

"(Fascinating...)" (me)

"..." (me)

The Soul was entirely consumed to nourish a Spark of Existence, so my power builds a new Soul using the Anomalous Power of the Core that also had its end, a new Soul and Existence, a new being is born.

I was focused on what was happening inside, but the Soul on the outside destroyed itself as it was sucked into its center where a glow brighter than any star emerges and from it its light condenses into a new Soul without features.

The Runes of Zenos using my power float around and when the transformation is over, they activate, sending a blast of Chaos power that encapsulates Sarazar’s new existence heading towards her body on the other side of Tarzor.

"Death that nourishes life... continuity... legacy... a cycle... endless transformations..." (me)

"Death is a new transformation..." (me)

I couldn’t help but smile at the realization of my current power, ever since I separated from my whole self by becoming an individual and separate entity, I knew that concept was different as well as many other things, but there was no place to test these differences and there was no certainty if it should be tested, without testing there was no way to discover the differences and yet it was something that nagged at the back of my mind, now I understand why.

My concept hasn’t changed, it has just branched out into something new and even though I am an Anomalous Entity I am still part of the cycle, a new understanding of my power and concept has led to a new understanding of purpose.

"It seems to have entered its final phase, now the Curse..." (me)

Suddenly I feel the new Soul attach itself to something far from here, then Zenos’ Curse appears, fueled by the power that converted from hunger, a Dragon of Stellar flames possessing a large mouth full of teeth explodes in a wave of energy that soon becomes thousands of rays traveling in the same direction.

"(Now they know about your power, your existence and where to find you.)" (Kalistos)

"(They also know that they are vulnerable to me, there is no one who escapes the Authority of Death, our concept encompasses everything and everyone touched by me.)" (me)

"(Strengthen yourself, because unlike me, you can be found.)" (Kalistos)

"(I will be ready, with his help.)" (me)

My eyes turn to Zenos, he was still extinguished like a corpse, but his flame of life did not stop shining, even in such a destroyed state, the death of a God is not something easy to achieve.

"I will take care of you until you wake up, I hope Mavis was okay, I know she was more afraid than I was about the change in her concept." (me)

"Tarzor, take us back to the tree." (me)

"I can’t, something invaded that space and prevents my domain." (Tarzor)

"..." (me)
