Will of chaos-Chapter 1809: Cap 1807: Escaping the Star Path
Pov Davoth:
I now look at the large thing slowly decreasing in size, all the chains and bonds have been cut, they were made to contain it and not to resist an external attack, there were also no traps inside here to attack us and yet I was worried since I felt the energies that were used in these restrictions being redirected elsewhere.
I was wondering what we would face as my Universal Golem remodeled itself into a gelatinous sphere surrounding the colossal body of Experiment 89.
As its body was covered, my Anomalous power was being spent to a great extent, no matter how much we tried to put it inside the Universal Golem it was not possible, it in itself is a source of power of the Law and my Universal Golem rejects it by default, the most I am capable of doing is using the Universal Golem in a dimensional seal.
"Your Universal Golem is fascinating, if I am not mistaken you preserved the universal consciousness as well as used parts of the Universe itself for its construction, am I correct?"
(Hajak)
"Yes, Universal Golems could always have been used as a way to preserve or save collapsing universes, unfortunately the Ascendants decided to use this innovation as a weapon of war like everything they touch." (me)
"I will not deny that research has always been very biased towards military use, exploring other options was something I suggested in the past, even if it was purely for academic study and scientific research." (Hajak)
"The applications of Universal Golems have always been too limited, having a consciousness in them was something I did not consider due to the lack of control of the one who would have it." (Hajak)
"I do not control my Universal Golem, it is in itself a Basic Level Anomalous Entity, a semi-living universe, what I made was a contract with it as one does with Spirits, Fairies and Sacred Beasts." (me)
"An interesting proposal, I would love to know about the construction specifications, control and forms of contract."
(Hajak)
"As I said before, I do not trust you to divulge any kind of information, show that you are trustworthy and not just pretending, only then will I see you as a reliable ally and not a convenient ally." (me)
"You are constantly presenting things that would be considered in my interest only to deny me with this statement in an attempt to manipulate my intentions that you do not understand, thus encouraging me to a line of thought that aligns with becoming a reliable ally." (Hajak)
"Your attempt at manipulation is a waste of your time, as previously informed by me, I am more than willing to become your ally, your tests and suspicions against me, however understandable they may be, are a waste of your time." (Hajak)
"A waste of time yes, but something necessary, you have no way to prove that you are trustworthy other than demonstrating it with actions and I have no guarantees that I will not be betrayed at a critical moment."
(me)
"You two can stop this! I'm tired of this conversation that's been going on for hours!" (Hades)
Just like Hades said, I've been working on No. 89 for hours, with nothing else to do, I'm letting Hajak see the many advantages in forging a true alliance and thus reducing the chances of a possible future betrayal.
There wasn't much to do and this game of ideas against him started like this, I knew he would realize what I'm doing, but that doesn't change the interest he clearly shows in everything I presented before him.
I turn to Hades who was sitting cross-legged, hands on his knees and eyes closed while his Aura acts in a strange way, circulating in an unpredictable way around him as if it were coming and going through paths invisible to me.
"How is he?" (me)
"Well, his metal form should already be defined, his Personality is still consolidating and his mind has begun to structure itself."
(Hades)
"How long until he completes everything?" (me)
"By normal standards, a few days if it continues at this impressive intensity, but I must point out that this is a never-ending process for all creatures, our personalities and minds are constantly changing, there is no definitive end." (Hades)
"I may not have knowledge about what you hide, Herald, but your philosophical statement is completely correct according to my studies to date." (Hajak)
"Part of the disease that infects the Ascended population comes from stagnation of thought." (Hajak)
"A big problem, bigger than you know." (Hades)
"It seems that something happened in my absence, would you mind informing me or is it something else that I will discover once I become trustworthy in your eyes?" (Hajak)
"That can wait for later, we are leaving soon."
(me)
I turn to the large thing that is already the size of a small mountain, its body already completely enveloped by the Universal Golem, at least by that part of it.
"< Anomalous Magic: Dimensional Demon Sealing >" (me)
The Golem that had taken the form of a sphere surrounding the entire creature, changes to a hexagonal shape while Demonic patterns spread on its surface similar to the design of a Demonic face.
Soon the entire structure shrinks at once to the size of my head, then floats near me, I tried to touch it, but I was unable to, the most I can do is let it float nearby, even with my senses it looks more like an empty hole from where nothing can be felt and only the eyes can contemplate its current form.
"With this we can leave, but I won't be able to demonstrate even half of my combat power."
(me)
"I can take care of the traps until I get to the outside, but the World Cannons and the Guardian are beyond my ability to handle." (Hajak)
"We won't need it, I'll take care of the rest, let's go." (Hades)
I follow Hades and Hajak outside, my body feels weak, my mind also feels heavy, fortunately No. 89 seems to have been in a dormant state for the last 2 hours or it wouldn't be possible to keep him sealed so easily.
"(Now that he's sealed, I feel traces of chaos power in him, remnants that emanate from within him and come from the Anomalous power of the creation type.)" (me)
As I walked I found myself thinking about the possibilities, an unpleasant image formed in my mind, something I wasn't sure about, something the System didn't tell me, if it's true it's something that will be unpredictable.
"(It can't be... this level of planning and such a long time, it was impossible to predict all of this, not to mention that...)" (me)
"Davoth, I need to know something, do you think it's possible to travel through the Flow of Laws again?" (Hades)
"No, he'll be much more aggressive now, not to mention that it would be a risk since the Ascendants will realize what's happening here." (me)
"I see..." (Hades)
"I need to know something before we leave, just 3 things." (Hades)
"Can you stay 3 meters away from me at all times?" (Hades)
"It won't be difficult." (me)
"Affirmative." (Hajak)
"You must not release your Auras when we leave here, I also need to know if Hajak can stay separated from these lines of Law around him."
(Hades)
"I claim that I can be separated for a short period from the Ascendant laws, but I will be in a dormant mode during that time and will shut down completely if that period is extended too long causing deterioration of my basic functions to the point of my core collapsing with a prolonged delay." (Hajak)
"What if there were an Ascendant Law that is not of the 3 Thrones?" (Hades)
"Completely disconnecting from the Ascendant Laws is risky due to the defense mechanisms of the 3 Thrones, but connecting to a new Law is possible, but it would need to be at least Level 4 to resist the rejection of the Laws of the 3 Thrones." (Hajak)
"You're not thinking about..." (me)
"There's no risk to us, only to him. It will also allow us to escape more easily or we will have to abandon him." (Hades)
"You weren't preparing to face the guardian, were you?" (me)
"My master always said to know how to choose our battles and not limit ourselves to defined paths." (Hades)
"It doesn't matter if we run away or not, the guardian will pursue us. He must already have a way to identify the 3 of us and will certainly be able to track Experiment No. 89." (Hajak)
"I hope so, or my plan would fail."
(Hades)
"We'll use the Star Path to run while we lure him, the only ones capable of that are me as the main Herald and Nix who was the basis of his formation." (Hades)
"What are the risks?" (me)
"None if you don't move away, otherwise you'll be consumed by your Will for being physically there, in the case of a creature like Hajak, I don't even know what could happen to him, so you shouldn't separate from me." (Hades)
"[ Deactivating atomic implosion and black hole formation. ]" (Hajak)
"I've already taken care of the traps here, but this activated the charging of the World Cannons, we only have a few minutes to get out and the special storms are intensifying up there." (Hajak)
Just now we were in the elevator when Hajak's voice became robotic and yellow lights began to flash on the walls he was touching.
As soon as we emerged outside, I accepted Hades who ran ahead, as soon as we emerged on the surface our senses became confused and a pair of horrible eyes focused on us.
"< Divine Magic of Chaos: Gates of the Star Path >" (Hades)
I couldn't even see the gate appear or open, I only felt myself being pulled before I was walking in a completely different place, the temperature as well as the environment were different as if they were always changing, I was walking on a long crystal platform while a horrible energy was chasing me from behind.
Hades didn't say anything else as he stopped running and walked in front of us, his Aura surrounding us and I held Hajak who had a luminous Eclipse symbol on his faceless head.
I couldn't look back, my feet seemed to walk almost on their own, I couldn't even turn my head to look around, Hades' Aura blocked everything, my lack of resistance to him as well as my current weakness didn't help either.
But suddenly I felt a suction as we suddenly appeared somewhere else, Zenos was in front of us and his eyes were fixed on something behind us, in his hands was a plate full of grilled meat and a fork in his mouth.
"Is this... seriously...!?" (Zenos)
