Will of chaos-Chapter 1796: Cap 1794: Fight Like an Ascendant

Pov Vecna:

"Aaahhhhhh!!!!!" (me)

Sigh

Sigh

The pain was too great, I was inside an underground hall, all the Runes and Rituals I created here filled this place with the power of the Law to the point of saturation, the power of the Law was almost solid here, a lake of my blood was below me as I sat on its surface, all this power of the Law was converging towards the object at the bottom of the lake of blood, the bones of a Dragon God.

"I need to start... the metals..." (me)

"Hhhgggggg!!!" (me)

"!!!!!!" (me)

Sigh

The pain I felt was not due to the loss of blood but rather from being the conductor of so much power of the Ascending Law, this while the remaining power of the Dragon's bones fought against me, the pressure on my body and Soul was uneven.

My body was working at its limits and no matter how much effort I was going through it was acceptable, but my Soul was being squeezed by the will of the Dragon's residual in attack, for the vast majority of Ascendants, our Souls have always been weak, a difficult problem to overcome to this day.

I take out bars of rare concentrated metals and throw them into the lake of my blood that begins to boil, the metals melt and are marked by my blood, vein patterns that create runes inside them before fusing into the bones.

This whole process was time-consuming and I had to do it alone, I didn't have Mavor and Urak to switch places with me sporadically, this time it wouldn't work, doing the recombination process from scratch like this is only possible for an individual.

"(I have to endure... we don't have time for tests anymore!!)" (me)

"You look exhausted, Vecna." (???)

"Who...!?" (me)

"You don't need to worry about me, I'm just an Avatar of the Curse."

(???)

"Ggghhhaaaa!!!" (me)

The pain was intense, my vision was swimming as if I were at the bottom of a dark ocean, I couldn't see the individual at the edge of the lake of blood, but his figure was certainly not humanoid.

"What do you... want...!!?" (me)

"That's a very interesting question with more extensive answers than you can imagine, but I'll stick to what I want from you for now." (???)

"!!!" (me)

Snap! Snap!

Crack!

I clench my teeth as I feel the bones inside my body cracking under the pressure of the energies being refined below the lake of blood, then came the noise of the Divine Dragon Bones breaking before a part of the blood from the lake was sucked into bones that healed with more metallic appearances, the final refining process had begun and would take a while.

"The Curse Entity has always been neutral and does not interfere in the affairs of others, but it seems that my lady has given the wrong impression so far." (???)

"Those who are using your universe for their games of power and authority dare to use one of our newest Avatars in their endeavors." (???)

His body was blurred and his outline seemed to move as if he were not an individual, but rather a colony of things maintaining a singular form.

"I would like to form a proposition with you, I will assist your Ascendants as an allied force against your invaders and in exchange I will use your life flow stolen from the universes to help the newbie awaken his sapience." (???)

"You are asking... too much!!" (me)

"I know, so I will also help you with something else..." (???)

"< Cursed Origin: Inversion of the Divine >" (???)

"AAAHHHHHH!!!" (me)

Suddenly the pain became unbearable, a cold sensation took over me as the entire lake of blood boiled to the boiling point, my entire body and Soul were plunged into suffering, but I still maintained my concentration as if something was supporting my consciousness, the refining process that would last months accelerated by more than half and the residual divine will of the Dragon burned as its power flowed nourishing my Soul.

Even in torment I could still hear his voice speaking as if my pain meant nothing to him.

"With this I am helping to speed up whatever this is, it will also prevent you from failing halfway, I know you cannot answer now and so I will take your screams as confirmation of my proposal." (???)

"Don't worry, I will not act on my own, I will let this child do things her own way after she reaches sapience, it will be a challenge for her."

(???)

"Now I take my leave, I hope you won't have to act like this again and I wish you success, leader of the Ascendants..." (???)

Just as he appeared out of nowhere, he disappeared as my mind was swallowed by pain, his proposal was not to my liking, but it was not without benefits to me, his help now may increase my suffering, which doesn't matter as long as I succeed, the loss of the vitality explored from the Universes in our borders won't affect much either, we can always conquer more universes after I reach the fifth pair of wings.

Pov Zenos:

I was watching the five-year summoning gate close, Callidora's eyes smiling as she saw my expression, the armored giant had a pure Demonic Aura, his bright eyes through the helmet were filled with endless malice as well as intelligence.

As soon as he stepped out of the summoning portal that now disappeared into the background, he looked at the Avatar of Pride who had summoned him. There was no pleasure in his presence, only anger could be felt in his Aura burning around him before he turned his eyes to us.

Suddenly his eyes focused on Collins as his great sword disappeared and before anyone could react, he was already in front of Collins who met the tip of the great sword with his wing that covered itself in ice.

The collision between the two sent a blue mist and rays of Demonic energy in waves to the surroundings, which did not affect anyone present, but destroyed the part of the city where we were.

"Be careful, he's fast!" (Melissa)

"Leave him to me, take care of the Avatar!!!" (me)

"It's okay, I'm no good against infernal creatures."

(Collins)

Collins had Demonic energy burning his wing, he clearly didn't come out unscathed from this attack and seemed to be tormented by Demonic energy, but I'm not switching places with him because of that but rather to avoid having to fight too close to them, I don't want to be discovered and I also can't coordinate with them that well.

"< Law of Ice: Blade Hurricane >" (Collins)

"< Law of Assassination: Shadow Pursuit >" (Melissa)

"< Pride of Combat >" (Ghanor)

I didn't care about their combat and charged towards the Infernal creature that was still aiming at Collins, I appeared next to him who was in the middle of his attack, then I raised both hands towards the Infernal creature while my wings and ring glowed.

"< Law of Eclipse: Threshold Space >" (me)

Ruins emerge from my wings circling me as well as the Infernal creature, everything around us seems to disappear, but in truth it was the two of us who left that place, around us a strange world formed a crystal floor that reflected the starry sky above with a horizon that of a great Eclipse taking place.

It was a space that seemed infinite, I looked tiny facing the Infernal creature that turned its eyes to me stopping its attack, he held his shield tightly while the sword materialized in his other hand, he looked at me with anger growing stronger and stronger when a voice full of malice came out of his helmet.

"You are the God that Hell has embraced!" (Infernal General)

"If you're talking about Callidora, I'm just someone who made a deal with her." (me)

"I don't care... I smell her rotten smell on you!" (Infernal General)

"I can't help but submit to that thing that turned me into this... but you, I'm going to have fun tearing you apart!!"

"< Demonic Butcher's Awakening >" (Infernal General)

"< Eclipse Law: Threshold Dagger >" (me)

As the dagger that seemed to be made from a shard of shattered space from another universe formed in my hand, the Demon in front of me grew even larger, reaching 8 meters, his shield deformed into the shape of a horned skull made of metal bones, his great sword shattered into pieces as blood came out of his armor flowing down his arm until it reached his hand creating a large serrated cleaver stained with blood, his Armor became even thicker with his helmet taking on a Demonic face with large metal teeth, it seemed as if the helmet had fused with his skull.

The presence was bloodthirsty and as he ran towards me, his power was less than that of an Avatar, but it was at the level of a God.

He ran at an even greater speed than before, I flapped my wings spinning to dodge and still found that shield in front of me trying to crush me against the ground.

I somersault in the air and kick the shield hard to get away from him as I once again force myself to spin in the air using that centrifugal force to kick the large cleaver that was trying to split me in half.

"(I'm going to need more than that... he's too fast...)" (me)

"(I'm going to have to fight as an Ascendant, but I haven't had time to test that yet.)" (me)

One thing I've never tried before and really wouldn't like to try is using the power of the Ascendants, the Symbol of Dominion. I've seen many of them use it against me and it doesn't seem like a complex thing to do. With the help of the Ring I should be able to do it. Still, it's not something I'd like to use. I don't know what might happen. I'm different from the Ascendants in certain basic ways that might influence this in unpredictable ways. Still, I can't use my normal powers in this fight without running a huge risk of revealing myself.
