Will of chaos

Pov Lena:

The Meeting is going largely as I imagined, there is no way to hide the identity of those involved, with this at least we discovered Hatred who had not shown himself until now.

Callidora participating in the Rules Meeting was a surprise, Hell never participated when it was not invited, there are few who request to participate in these meetings, from the memories of Life that I have, only The Merchant is actively interested in these meetings.

“(Sister, do you think Callidora might be acting for the same reason as Pride?)” (me)

“(I don’t know, Hell has always been fickle and willful, it’s impossible to guess what she’s after, but I think it’s unlikely that she’s our enemy, she likes to provoke Zenos and her favoritism towards those around her Daughter is the only constant I’ve seen from her in the memories we carry.)” (Cortana)

“(I’m worried that Samara is right, Zenos heard what she said, but doesn’t understand the repercussions, the item in Samara’s hands almost confirms the suspicions that Life and Death have always had.)” (me)

“(Yes, but I can’t say if this will be good or bad, in the end the only certainty we have is Pride’s goal, even now he provokes Greed and always makes points in what War says, he’s almost educating Zenos.)” (Cortana)

“(I noticed, Callidora is doing the same, but in a different way.)” (Cortana)

“(I noticed, Callidora is doing the same, but in a different way.)” (Cortana)

“(I noticed, Callidora is doing the same, but in a different way.)” (Cortana)

“(I noticed, Callidora is doing the same, but in a different way.)” (Cortana)

“(I noticed, Callidora is doing the same thing … (in a different way, she’s exaggerating the forms of communication to signal what he should pay attention to, she’s also messing up the situation now that we’ve become the center of this meeting.)” (Lena)

“(Curse has already targeted us, its focus is most likely the Herald of Zenos, a Living Curse like Hades is almost unheard of.)” (Cortana)

“(When this Rules Meeting is over we’ll be targets of Greed, Hatred, War and Curse.)” (Cortana)

“(Davoth’s plans will also have to change, we don’t have much time, a complete implementation won’t be possible, we’ll need a partial one and keep expanding.)” (me)

Unfortunately, following Davoth’s year becomes increasingly unfeasible, as soon as they realize our plans, all the Entities will act, even those who are just observing will attack the other universes while the Ascendants will be focused here.

It would be nice if the Ascendant Goddess and this Experiment 89 could change this scenario, we will only have one opportunity and I want to avoid something worse.

The telepathic link I share with Cortana cannot be invaded by others, no one can interfere, in the meantime we continue participating in the Rules Meeting, voting for or against the proposals until we hear Zenos’ voice.

“Since that has been decided, I would like to have a private meeting with Commerce.” (Zenos)

“I accept.” (Merchant)

“…” (Zenos)

With the private meeting beginning, the system’s container raises his hand and the two disappear.

“(What does he want to do with Commerce?)” (me)

“(I don’t know, but he probably wants to buy information, unlike us, the Merchant has more recent information and has always been fair with his business.)” (Cortana)

“(The question will be the price to be charged.)” (me)

With Zenos gone, the Meeting suddenly changed, everyone changed their gaze not to us, but to Freya, everyone could see what she had become, they also understood how much a creature like her could be useful to reform universes, create universes or even take control of entire universes.

“I wish a Private Meeting with Callidora.” (Pride)

“A meeting with me? How interesting… I accept~~.” (Callidora)

Pride and Callidora also disappear, it was at that moment that Greed turned to me, his anger was palpable and I know well that he still carries resentment for having been dragged into this meeting as well as having his Avatar prevented from coming here and being forced to rely only on his newest Avatar.

“Which one of you is in charge of this meeting? Whose Avatar is that Elven Dragon!?” (Greed)

“Is it me?” (me)

“You’ve blocked my path, but how long do you think that will last?” (Greed)

“What do you want?” (me)

“I want your Avatar’s life as well as having the Chaos Bringer on a leash and I will have what I want.” (Greed)

“(Sister, your Avatar must be close to our position or he wants to force something.)” (Cortana)

“How about we end this here, when this meeting is over we will all have a lot to take care of, so how about a Duel?” (Greed)

“I accept if you follow 4 conditions.” (me)

“Then speak, what conditions.” (Greed)

“We can’t use an Avatar, as you said before, we’ll be busy and I can’t leave an injured Avatar.” (me)

“I accept for now…” (Greed)

“We won’t fight personally under any circumstances, I’m not strong enough to go against you yet.” (me)

“I expected such cowardice… I also didn’t intend to act personally.” (Greed)

“Third, let’s settle this here and now.” (me)

“I accept.” (Greed)

“Fourth, let’s make a bet, I have nothing to gain from this duel otherwise.” (me)

“I accept, so if you lose, I’ll keep your Avatar, I’ll use it to create an Origin Artifact.” (Greed)

“Denied, my Avatar wouldn’t be a betting chip.” (me)

“Then I want you to use your power on someone for me.” (Greed)

“I accept, but if I win I’ll want a copy of the Tower of Magic.” (me)

“Your appetite is voracious, isn’t it?” (Greed)

“Your request is also irrational, we both know what you’re going to do with this opportunity, we know who you want to use my power on.” (me)

“Very well, I accept.” (Greed)

“(Be careful with him.)” (Cortana)

“(I will.)” (me)

The Tower of Magic is a Magic archive with originals and copies of books, grimoires and magical research from billions of universes, an eternity of magical knowledge that I can use to seek Zenos’ forgiveness without him being able to deny it.

Since this is a duel that only involves the two of us, the only ones who need to vote are the two of us, our duel does not involve any of the others here, just as it does not involve the universe where everyone is acting now.

Pov Zenos:

I spent almost 30 minutes discussing the details of the bets with Comércio, this part of the discussion was actually more about listening to him talk, the few times I added something I felt like I was being tested by him.

His idea was to use the System to contact those outside, he will not only look for other Entities but also Anomalous Creatures and Anomalous Gods.

But on his list there will be no individuals dangerous to me, those who bet will also have to resort to their own means to see the events without interfering, so almost everyone will only know the final result.

He did not reveal his list to me, I would also have access to almost nothing, if I survive until the end of the bets, he will come to me to distribute my share and if I have died, he will divide my share with the people I listed.

The bets would be divided into several parts, 3 bets on who will stop the plans of the Envoy of Callidora, 1 bet on who will kill the Envoy of Callidora, 1 bet on who will win between Greed and Pride, 1 bet on who will control this universe and 1 bet on who will kill or control the Ascendants.

There are 7 bets in total, the losers lose everything they bet and the winners of the 7 bets will win 80% of the total value of the bets of that topic, but of course nothing prevents an individual from placing a bet on each of the seven topics, the bets will also have a fixed value to prevent people from making only low bets and taking a reasonable amount from their pockets.

The Merchant said that there was no need to worry about anyone ignoring the announcement, it seems that the Entities, like the Anomalous Creatures and many ancient Gods, are beings that feel very bored due to their long existence and therefore tend to look for ways to entertain themselves.

Thanks to him, I also discovered something. I thought that the Entities were plundering universes or individuals that got in their way. But it seems that’s not all. The Entities can create Essences just as they can create Divinities, as long as they are aligned with their Concepts. It’s not something that can be created instantly and in large quantities. However, over countless ages, it ends up accumulating.

When I returned to the meeting room, everyone looked at me, but I focused on the absence of Lena, Greed, Callidora, and Pride.

I didn’t need to think much to understand that, just like I did before, these four are also in a Private Meeting. I just don’t know if they’re all together or if they’re two separate meetings.

“It seems like there are a few missing, so I’ll wait for them to come back.” (Merchant)

I just nod, I don’t dare to say much in front of the Entities, I don’t know their capabilities or what else they hide, as far as I know I’m already going too far with the agreement I made with Commerce, I haven’t even discussed such a thing with the Twins, Davoth, my Heralds, my Saints, my Familiars or my Wives.

“(I can only hope I’m doing it right, otherwise I’ll just have to improvise even more…)” (me)

Davoth never said anything about using Essences or anything else, but I prefer to be prepared for any eventuality, plans never work out the first time with me and even if everything does work out, all of this will be a gain that I can use in Tarzor.
