Will of chaos-Chapter 1781: Cap 1779: Unfortunately he didn’t resist
In my hands was the pyramid with the sealed heart. I tried to analyze it, but it was extremely simple. It was an amalgamation of curses and poisons. It comes from the sacrifices of millions of lives, and that's it. There's nothing complex about it.

"(This doesn't come from Yaffe.)" (me)
Yaffe is a scholar in the field of curses. Her poison is something latent to her, not important enough for her to actively use. At least that's the feeling I get from her.
If she had any involvement with it, then she wouldn't have felt the activation of it until the moment it did. It was something they created using the power she granted them.
After realizing all of this and seeing that there was nothing to gain from it, I began to let my mind wander over various subjects until my concentration was interrupted by an Ascendant.
"Commander, we've finished clearing out the enemies. Would you like to set aside something for your research?"
(Barerosa)
"No, hand everything over to Wendel to be stored in the Temple upon our arrival, send the wounded to be treated." (me)
"Commander, would you like to claim for yourself the Laws of those who fell in combat?" (Barerosa)
"No, let your original Commander lay it down when he recovers." (me)
"(Of course they won't recover, I'll kill him as soon as I arrive, after that these troops will be the perfect smokescreen for me to hide.)" (me)
"Level 1 Laws are useless to me, and I have no intention of building up my own forces at the moment." (me)
"As you order, I'll be cataloging everything as instructed and begin our return journey." (Barerosa)
"Do so."
(me)
The customs of the Ascendants are very strict from what I have learned. As the person in charge of this mission, I have the right to all resources found or conquered, even though I have the almost obligatory duty of delivering a reward to the troops. The Laws or Essences are off the list. Only Level 3 Ascendants or higher can decide on these things unless they are on individual missions.
I take one last look at the planet being remade. It was horrible to see, but it was still my obligation to see it. Only then can I fully understand it.
"Ernani, you must..." (me)
So I spent the rest of the trip back going over the mission report. Since it was a report meant to be delivered in detail, I, as Commander and the only one who faced that great Serpent, was obliged to report all of this.
Since I had no identity here, I assumed the identity of someone who was already dead, a Level 2 Ascendant who had been on a mission for centuries in another Universe, a Universe that has been being destroyed by Callidora for the past 2 years.
Wendel has already taken care of the name change, no one will notice my differences from his since there will be reports of when I supposedly just reached level 3 by refining the Divinities of some Gods into Ascendant Laws, for a completely false story this is quite surprising and easily plausible.
Writing the report along with mine about my arrival was not difficult, in fact the report of this mission will help me to be less visible and my identity to be more civil, it seems that these Ascendants fell from the sky like a big and beautiful smokescreen, thank goodness I didn't kill them all.
The trip continued and the report was very boring to write, it was too detailed and formatted in a very specific way.
--------------------
When I finally arrived, I found Wendel waiting for me, he bowed to me, then led everyone to the mansions where they slept while I went to the basement where my mother was surrounded by blood spheres.
Seeing that she was busy, I waved to Wendel who led me to another room where that Level 3 Ascendant was still chained up.
"Is there a problem if I finish him off?" (me)
"I don't think so, so feel free." (Wendel)
"I won't waste my power, so come here." (me)
I pull him by the chains before stopping in front of me then I bite his neck drinking his blood while sealing his Laws using my blood still inside his living body that in a few seconds becomes immobile like a mummy.
"His blood tastes horrible." (me)
"That's because of the Laws, our flesh and blood becomes contaminated by the Laws, even our Souls and minds are affected, those with weak will even experience behavioral and personality changes."
(Wendel)
"< Anomalous Curse: Flesh Corrosion >" (me)
I draw in the air using my Anomalous power, I don't need to worry about anything since this will always be a rejected power and would never be associated with an Ascendant, then from the magic circle a purple energy condenses into particles that under my control sink into his body that begins to dry up while he still struggles in his chains.
"Are you going to say you didn't know about the Curse?" (Wendel)
"Exactly, not even they knew about it, everyone only noticed the poison and with that I will have the perfect excuse to get rid of him." (me)
"While we wait, I must tell you something that Selene discovered."
(Wendel)
------------------
I was inside the Ascendant Temple when those two entered, they were both healed and wearing new clothes, it had only been 2 or 3 hours since we arrived, but their Auras still showed some weakness, Ernani's Aura in particular still showed signs of poison.
"Why haven't you treated the poison yet?" (me)
"I have already treated it and left some of the poison for my research, I use the Law of Fear, no research I do on others is as effective as the ones I do on myself." (Ernani)
"If that is your decision, I will not interfere." (me)
"My lord, to what do we owe your call."
(Barerosa)
As always, while Ernani remains cautious with me, Barerosa even bows slightly in respect before speaking, so I point to the corner of the room where a skeleton emitting clear Curse trails was lying on an altar, it was a skeleton with 3 pairs of wings.
"Your previous Commander did not resist, his poison was cured, but we did not know about the curse, it seems that it exploded before we returned and by the time it must have been the death of the great Serpent that was the trigger of the Curse, fortunately he was isolated to rest, so no one else was affected." (me)
"He unfortunately did not resist." (me)
"What happened to his flesh and blood?" (Ernani)
"It rotted before dissolving, but I fortunately arrived in time to seal your Law in his body." (me)
"What do we do now?"
(Ernani)
"I know what we should do..." (Barerosa)
"If it's not an inconvenience, my lord, could we continue under your care?" (Barerosa)
"..." (Ernani)
"Do you both want this?" (me)
"..." (Ernani)
"Really, Ernani...?" (Barerosa)
"Yes... we both do... sir..." (Ernani)
"Then I will permanently take over your troop, you both report directly to me, we will use this world as a base until that planet is ready." (me)
"Yes, sir!" (Ernani/Barerosa)
Ernani was clearly not happy about this, but I couldn't care less about it, I knew Barerosa would take the initiative at this point, she had been quite clear with her adoration for me so far, Ernani also had no valid reason to reject her other than her fear of me without logical basis.
"(Everything is going according to plan.)" (me)

Pov Davoth:
Entering the Temple, I went straight to the main hall, Nala joining me walking beside me, Hades coming right behind.
Entering the Temple, I went straight to the main room where I found a crystal column with a silhouette inside, Divine power takes up all that space while the silhouette shines brightly before a figure came out of the Crystal.
Her blond hair, 5 pairs of golden wings of pure energy and bright golden eyes emanate holiness.
"How good to see you in person, Fallen from Grace." (Urd)
"I don't know if good is the right term, Unknown Goddess." (me)
She likes to poke where it hurts, she can't help but tease even when we should be on the same side.
"Why did you call me here?" (me)
"I want to show you something."
(Urd)
"..." (me)
She touches my forehead with a finger, what she transmitted to me, were not images or even information that could be understood by a normal mind, they were senses of Ethereal Level that reveal 3 voids in a field of power of intrigued Laws.
Just feeling this made me sweat, everything I tried to avoid was happening, all my plans would have to be done faster.
"When did it start?" (me)
"A little over 1000 years." (Urd)
"That doesn't make sense, it was supposed to have more time, we should have another 25000 years at least!" (me)
"Vecna's experiments, they accelerated the process without realizing it and when one of them appears..." (Urd)
"The road is set." (me)
"Yes, I tried to track him, but I only discovered 2 of them, the firstborn was not found." (Urd)
"Did he die?"
(me)
"No." (Urd)
"The other two?" (me)
"One of them is trapped, her awakening has been in progress for 1 year." (Urd)
"The last one became an Ascendant, she is a few centuries old, but she is the youngest, her awakening should still be..." (Urd)
Suddenly Urd's expression changed, her gaze turned in one direction as if she was seeing something invisible, but I am sure her senses must be picking up something formless, soon her serious expression became confused as she turned to me.
"What happened?" (me)
"The last one has entered the first stage of awakening." (Urd)
"..." (me)
"If it is not too much, I would like to have the context of this conversation." (Hades)
"Follow me and I will inform you, it seems that another change in events has begun." (Nala)
