Chapter 1292 Cap 1290: You are not a Goddess part 3
Pov Xagar:
I turned my back to the limp body on the floor of what was once my closest friend, thus completely cutting off what I once was, keeping only my name as a reminder of my sins.
I disabled all techniques and skills at the same time as the blood jewel on my forehead surged with large amounts of Holy Power.
I hold my sword in my hands becoming the medium through which all this Holy Power flows into the sword.
Cracks form on the blade as my Holy Power awakens the power that comes from other Gods, the surface of the sword cracks revealing only a red blade underneath made from the crystallized blood of Lord Zenos.
"< May this artifact reveal the truth hidden before the power of him who bears the Blood of the true Gods. >" (I)
"< Holy Curse: Eclipse Seal >" (I)
With the power of this Sword, I feel the Blessing within me pulsate, my blood is boiling as your Aura suddenly takes over the surroundings being partially sucked by the sword, the Holy power within me that was almost exhausted just by throwing this Artifact fills more once.
With my words, the various lines of Holy power on the crystal blade float out from the blade of this sword forming a magic circle diagram, with this being the Holy power being rapidly consumed once again as columns of red light appear throughout the Colosseum.
It was at that moment when I paid attention to the surroundings that I noticed the Infant Spirits that were everywhere, the dome that surrounded this arena had already collapsed and thanks to that I noticed the flow of power between the Souls being drained to the Infant Spirits.
--------------------
Pov Zenos:
I was just seeing Xagar and Fiona performing the same ritual to activate the Ceremonies artifacts created in the Dungeon, they were made using my crystallized blood before being coated with metal creating this Sword and Spear for them.
I quickly noticed that the Holy Power consumption was at least 6 times what we were guessing, it seems that outside the Dungeon the amount of Holy Power is greater.
With the two activating the artifacts the area between them becomes a makeshift Altar, I use my Aura to grant more Holy Power to the two while imprinting my Authority on the Altar, I could feel the Evil God try to do this just as I imagined he would, but the marks left by the symbols of other Gods become a wall that cannot be crossed.
"She is nurturing these Infant Spirits with the power of the Soul, is she trying to create Spirits of her own without a complete Godhead?" (Elizabeth)
I had already learned a lot about Spirits and Fairies because of my Familiars, so I knew that the Fairies and Spirits born in their Fairy Temples or Spiritual Temples are not being created by them, the Gods granted the gift of birth in these areas with them being guardians or mothers of the children born there.
But this Evil God is doing it differently, this difference is like a baby being born from its mother's womb and a Baby being born from a medical tank artificially, it seems like one of the science fiction thriller stories from my old world.
"Nix, how long!?" (I)
"I'm ready." (Nix)
"Orion, are you ready?" (I)
"Your orders, master." (Orion)
Nix had thousands of Spiritual Runes containing my Authority and Sacred Power while Orion leaves my body completely, taking on its smallest form, almost my height.
"Good luck." (Elizabeth)
"< Activate >" (I)
With me now completely connected to the ritual started, I feel through my connection with Orion all those marked by him with a part of him in their bodies, my power snatches their bodies sealing them from the inside out dragging them to me.
It also happened that chains came out of the two Artifacts binding those they marked during their fights, those marked by the Ceremonial Artifacts were burned in red flames that were enveloped by the chains of power pulling towards the middle of the Altar.
"< May this Sacrifice be the spark of truth, may this spark become a Spiritual Fire capable of encompassing everything and be refined in my name into currents that seek the origin of those who avoid the truth. >" (Nix/me)
"< Sacrificed Spirit Sacred Chain >" (Nix/me)
The red flames light up and become ethereal, their heat is no longer something that can be felt with the body, but rather by the Souls of the fools who approach them.
The power of these chains rises as it takes the form of an almost living Dragon before advancing into the spatial rift for just a few seconds after entering the space above the entire arena begins to crack with pieces of chains emerging half destroyed.
Cough Cough
"Do it now!!!" (I)
"< Territory: Ruler >" (Hinata)
"< Chaos Spectral Dimension >" (Hinata)
I was coughing up blood, the chains created by my power were strongly linked to my Authority, and being damaged felt like they were hitting me directly.
That's why I had a plan B, I don't underestimate my enemies especially when they are creatures that were once a God, even in their current state it wasn't something I could escape.
I used the artifact markings on some targets to cast a Holy Curse that takes away the source of their power, in this case, the Evil God, then I used all those associated with this Evil God that Orion marked with a part of him as fuel for this ritual.
These chains were made not only from my power but also from the power of this Ritual and those sacrificed in the ritual, I knew it would not last and I was prepared.
Plan A was to pull this Evil God out into the middle of the Colosseum so he would have nowhere to go, but that clearly isn't working, so I moved on to Plan B.
Hinata now queen has an increasingly bizarre appearance, only her mouth remains on her face while countless eyes of different shapes and sizes open, and her black hair grows becoming a cascade of darkness falling to the ground.
With Hinata creating this Territory she can drag whoever is in contact with her directly there, using me as a means, the chains seemed to still be in contact with something, and this made me, my Family members, and whoever is touching the chains be taken to the territory from Hinata.
When I opened my eyes it was like being outside the Planet, there were stars of different colors everywhere, planets that were actually big eyes, and spectral creatures that seemed to swim between the stars as if they were in water.
It was a bizarre place to the point of feeling like you were inside an abstract painting about Outer Space.
But my vision was taken by two individuals a little away from me, the first individual looked like a woman, but her body was like a broken statue with parts missing, it was possible to see an eye on her chest that clearly didn't fit in with the rest of the body giving off a sweeter presence than Sacred power.
"(That must be the Divinity Fragment... so this woman must be the Evil God.)" (I)
I could feel her Aura, it was enough to make me sweat as it was immensely greater than mine, but her presence didn't seem to match in strength with her Aura.
There was a woman next to the Goddess, her size was much smaller, but her body was twisted in many places with chains still crushing most of her body.
"You did good pulling me here, kid." (Evil Goddess)

Pov Elizabeth's:
"Why did you let them do all this in the middle of your competition?" (I)
"Because it seemed like fun and her presence forced others to participate." (Hatlas)
In the reflection of the glass I saw the God of War, I never liked this idiot, his decisions most of the time cause more problems than they solve and his worshipers are irrational, always resorting to violence.
"Did you know about the Spirit Infants?" (I)
"No and it is of little importance, this plan will fail, she is not linked to the nature of this universe, she does not carry the ability to transform or create, these Spirits are below normal at best." (Hatlas)
This time I was surprised, just like everyone else, I thought this Evil God's plan was to claim power in an attempt to repair the Fragment of Divinity in his possession.
I never thought that she would try to create Spirits on her own, in this case, that doesn't help at all unless her objective is not to replace the Spirit God but to take for herself half of what already exists.
A childish thought to the point that I consider it a joke, but the only possible explanation, it would fail and certainly taking many Spirits down, an elemental catastrophe on a universal level would also be a possibility at the end of this horrible plan.
"You know what your brother is going to do, don't you?" (Hatlas)
"Yes, but it's his decision as are the risks involved." (I)
"We don't have time, Elizabeth." (Hatlas)
"This time I was lucky to be him, but he needs to get back to the top together with his sisters, Selene can't take care of everything." (Hatlas)
"World wars have been happening in many worlds in recent centuries as more rifts to the Abyss open randomly, the number of Evil Gods in this time is more than 20 times than any other time period." (Hatlas) n/(OvElB1n
"I know what I'm doing..." (I)
