Chapter 1065 Cap 1063: Temple Of Spirits Part 2

I didn't like the idea of pretending to be Nix's mother to get her to cooperate, but not being able to see any other option in this situation, the idea of leaving Nix lost in this illusion is terrifying to me.

"Let our power become one and circulate among us following my lead, my dear." (Stella's voice)

I started to use my energy again to circulate from my body to Nix's body, this time she controlled the energy along with me to circulate in her body while adding her own energy, as much as I dislike doing that with Nix, at least less is making a difference in how she reacts.

I felt the energy circulating from her body to mine before returning to her, this cycle was becoming faster and faster, and I was also adding my Holy Power, my Aura and my Authority little by little with her doing the same.

Nix was making this circular energy between us flow faster and faster, I felt my Spiritual Energy depleting below half, and it was then that I noticed the reflection of the moon below us both spinning in the same direction as the energy in our bodies.

I only notice this change because the light of this reflection of the moon was also increasing until I couldn't ignore it anymore.

At this moment I feel something move inside my shadow, a few seconds later I noticed something rising from my shadow behind me again, even without being able to look back I could imagine what it could be since I went through something similar not long ago.

Just out of the corner of my eye I managed to catch a glimpse of the Gate of Spirits, it was a gate made of solid black metal by the looks of it, I seemed to be able to see very faintly out of the corner of my eye any movement at the gate.

I stopped using Stella's voice now that Nix was doing what was needed, but I still must apologize to her later for doing such a horrible thing to her.

I wasn't able to let the matter of Stella's voice go, but the energy was still circulating between us, unlike how it was with Layla, the energy wasn't building up between us, but I realized that at some point the darkness around us was filled with stars that were spinning in the sky above us.

With each passing second I could also feel Spiritual Energy passing through the gate behind me, this time I was able to notice it earlier due to having gone through something similar with Layla.

This energy was spreading around us and avoiding getting too close, but with the flow of energy between me and Nix being so fast as well as maintaining stability, I started using this energy to circulate from us to the Cradle of Spirits next to us around.

Doing this caused two changes, the first was that just like with Layla, the energy flow out of our bodies becoming a ring of energy between us in a perpetual spinning motion.

The second change was that as this ring becoming dark also formed a ring of stars above us as cracks formed from this ring of stars little by little through the darkness.

I felt the gate opening faster and faster behind me by the volume of Spirit Energy on my back, when all darkness was filled with silver cracks the Gate of Spirits was fully open and a new type of energy emerged from the gate, it was Divine energy with a presence he didn't recognize this time.

This Divine power spreads through the surroundings, but at the same time I feel that something has changed, it took less than a second to notice drop after drop of pure silver energy coming out of the reflection of the Moon below us and rising to stand in the middle of the spinning ring.

I also noticed that it wasn't just the Moon below us, I could feel moisture around me as I noticed a flow of blue energy coming from the surroundings to also gather in the middle of the ring.

These two energies were condensing together with mine when a thin ray of paradarkness fell from the middle of the ring of stars above directly into the two energies in the middle of the ring between me and Nix, these three elements were condensing together into a sphere of energy initially in three colors.

"You've come a long way daughter of Stella..."

When I heard a voice that seemed to come from everywhere, the divine power that had already taken everything in the surroundings gathers in the energy sphere and at this moment I feel Nix regain consciousness as the sparkle returns to his eyes.

She smiles at me, but before she can say anything the cracked darkness around us finally breaks apart revealing just the two of us sitting in the middle of the lake.

The shadow at the bottom of the lake disappeared as well as the waterfall also returned to normal while Nix's reflection also disappeared from there, the sky had only one Moon high above us as well as countless stars around it.

"Let your coronation begin... Nix, Spirit of the Night."

Along with the voice, I felt the ring between me and Nix shrink until it entered the sphere of energy that seemed to solidify into a black crystalline sphere with a moon and also full of stars.

Then I feel this sphere cracking until it breaks like an egg giving birth to a small Dragon that flies to the top of Nix's head forming a circle and biting its own tail.

It was at this moment that the little Dragon's body changed to form a black crystal crown with cousins like stars inside, the crown had the carvings of a Dragon's head with three eyes, one on each body with a jewel inside the eyes, with the colors blue, silver and black representing the three main elements that make up Nix's power.

As soon as this crown completely formed on top of Nix's head, I felt a push away from Nix, so her body sank to the bottom of the lake, knowing that she should be fine I decided not to go after her since she must be passing through her final change just like Layla.

Without having to watch only Nix, I looked around to see the now awake Spirits feasting while behind me the Gate of Spirits had changed, it was now a circular Gate of star crystal just like Nix's crown, and it was ornamented with a 3 eyes, unfortunately just like in Layla's case I didn't have time to admire this gate as it sank into my shadow.

I also noticed that night was giving way to day, with the Sun at the top of the sky, it seems that night was just part of the process Nix was going through.

I'm exhausted, my Mana may have recovered a bit, but now my Spiritual Energy was at zero and my body was much weaker.

"Thank you for being there for her and helping her when I'm not able to." (Stella)

"Are you still her mother?" (I)

"One day I was her mother, I still have her memories, but I'm not the same as I was then, I'm more of her daughter who inherited everything that was the previous Stella as well as her name." (Stella)

"I don't know if Nix will see it that way." (I)

"Maybe it's hard for her, just as it's hard for me to see her, just like my predecessor, I inherited her deep love for her daughter and now my sister." (Stella)

"I didn't show up until now because I knew it wouldn't help at all, my presence would just be a reminder of her mother when I'm not her anymore." (Stella)

"..." (I)

I try to get up, but my body feels heavy, the Spirits around have to hold me down so I don't fall.

"I'll help you since you seem to be busy." (Stella)

Stella appears in front of me and places a finger on my forehead, at the same moment I feel 70% of my Spiritual Energy filled in one go.

"Thanks." (I)

"It was just a little help, nothing he couldn't recover with enough time." (Stella)

Time is something that has been difficult since dawn, I have to pay attention to Hela's Summon and help Nix and Layla with their Cradles, these are all things I did in a few hours.

I still have Karina's problems to deal with and I should be gone, but there's no point in me leaving with so many things to do, I'll wait until tomorrow to leave that should be enough time to solve Karina's problem, I hope.

"What are you going to do now?" (I)

"I have tasks to do, but soon you will know more…" (Stella)

When she finishes speaking her body disperses into mist, I'm not even sure if she was here or from the beginning she was just some kind of duplicate of her, but even though she was speaking looking at me, I noticed that her attention held the entire time where Nix had sunk.

"Three tasks done, time to tackle the last one..." (I)

"We have something urgent to report, someone..." (Orion)

"Nice to see you, Holy Son." (Arthur)

"(Can this day get any worse?)" (I)

"Zenos, I need to talk to you..." (Klaus)

"It can only be a joke..." (I)
