Will of chaos

After I went through the Teleportation gate that Lorraine created and arrived at the place where my other Familiars were already, the first thing I did was confirm if there were any more horrendous monsters like that, luckily there weren't any more of those things, so I took a soap potion liquid to clean all the blood from my body.

Meanwhile, I continued walking towards where I felt my Familiars were and in the distance, I saw Diana as well as Kira with them.

"Can any of you explain where those damn monsters came from!?" (I)

"I was running away from them when the teleportation gate opened between me and them all of a sudden." (Kira)

"..." (I)

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

As I approached I asked about the monsters, but I was saddened to realize that this was all just the wrong time and place.

Sigh

"Before anything else." (I)

"Master, I don't advise..." (Sakura)

"Huuh...gogh!!!" (I)

cough cough

I closed my eyes and tried to use my Aura to feel the broad, I needed to understand how much the ecosystem was out of balance as it was the most pressing danger in my vision.

While only using my Aura nothing much happened, but as soon as my Aura tried to blend in with the surroundings I felt as if my whole body was being stabbed and I also felt something try to corrupt my Soul before a gentle energy spread inside me pushing this away taint of my Soul as well as of my body.

I fell to my knees coughing and spitting up blood as someone was using some healing technique on me, when I lifted my head to look it was that person I realized it was Stella.

"You are even more reckless than I was told, this whole area was controlled by the World Tree whose body is now under the possession of an Evil God, that means everything in the surroundings is being bathed in its power, try to mix your Aura with the surroundings is the same as opening a passage straight to his Soul which he can corrupt." (Stella)

"It wouldn't work anyway as your Authority would have prevented it, but it would still have done significant damage." (Elizabeth)

"..." (I)

"< Renewal of the Spirit >"

Suddenly a male voice was heard behind me and when I turn around I see a Gray Elf who looks to be around middle age, one of his arms is hanging down and he has a tired look.

As soon as he uttered these words, a circle of silver and gold Runes forms around me as pure energy passes through my body going to my Soul, then I feel the pain I was feeling disappear little by little until there is nothing left.

"Thank you, King of the Gray Elves." (I)

"Just don't be so reckless again kid." (King Uryma)

My sister Natasha grabbed me by the collar and dragged me to a large wooden parade where we all went to talk, this included Diana's father who was laughing at me.

---------------

After 30 minutes of explaining the state of affairs and seeing what was going on outside the cabin, I had a solid understanding of what I was supposed to do.

"(Why can't I just walk away!?)" (I)

"(Why do we need to stop this Evil God now, if he breaks free from the trap it will be very difficult to finish him off.)" (Ragnar)

"(Why should this be my problem, look at the people around us, they can handle it.)" (I)

"(They'll take care of the worst part, you just have to take care of the World Tree in the end, master.)" (Sakura)

I still wanted to leave, but even my Familiars were against me this time, I could understand their logic, this Evil God seems to be especially troublesome in many ways and even as we speak his influence seems to spread as he absorbs the power of the World Tree.

I don't think I could run away from him forever, Evil Gods are too selfish and greedy to stop his conquest with just this area, I'm sure that sooner or later I would have to fight him or run away from this world, I don't know if the second option it's possible, so it only remains to end it now while he's still trapped.

I was mentally discussing these things with my Familiars while the others were discussing the plans, thanks to parallel thinking I was able to do both things at the same time and I paid attention to their plans, it was something simple but effective in both ways.

"We only have 3 goals." (King Uryma)

"The first is defeating the Evil God, something the Fairies and Spirits will take care of." (King Uryma)

"The second is to stabilize the environment, otherwise the third goal will be impossible." (King Uryma)

"The third step is to bring the Soul of the World Tree back to your body." (King Uryma)

As King Uryma spoke of the objectives, I could see the flow of energy coming out of his body, it seemed to hurt a lot as I could feel his Aura being torn apart with each blow.

"Stella and I will take care of the Evil God in the meantime…" (Lorraine)

"I'll come along too." (Ivan)

When Ivan interrupted Lorraine while saying that he was going to participate in a battle that is clearly not on his level, everyone looked at him in disbelief, including me.

"..." (Ivan)

But without saying anything, Ivan releases his Aura just inside this hut, that was enough to realize the power in his possession, his Aura is much stronger and he has the power of Authority.

Everyone could feel that something else extended to and through Ivan, so we were also able to know whose Champion Ivan was.

After that, no one said anything against Ivan participating, apart from me clearly.

"Are you sure?" (I)

"Yes, this is something the Goddess Kalistos wants to be made of, now I know why." (Ivan)

"So you realized... that's why we need to get rid of him." (King Uryma)

"Than you..." (I)

I was at a loss as to what was being said so indirectly without anyone explaining anything about me.

"I'm not surprised you didn't notice, there's too little knowledge about Undead and understanding about Souls for you to understand, Master Zenos." (Ivan)

"He focuses too much on power and gets lost in those moments where knowledge is needed." (Elizabeth)

"I must be the youngest person in this place, I haven't had time and maybe won't have time anytime soon to study these things, I must focus on using my power in combat efficiently as a priority." (I)

"His thinking is right, he can't learn everything, so let Caitlyn explain, that might calm her down." (Natasha)

I look at my sister floating on top of her favorite Pillow, but this time she wasn't lying down or sleeping, she was sitting with her eyes wide open, to Kim she seemed calm, but when our eyes met I felt a shiver run down my spine caused out of sheer fear.

"To keep it simple..." (Caitlyn)

Caitlyn waves her hand and something comes flying out into her hand, it was a grotesque lump of flesh that has the vague outline of a head, Caitlyn throws this to Natasha who uses her power making the swelling, sores, and bone deformities and tumors get smaller and smaller until they disappear.

That's when I realized something, this was a Dwarf head, that grotesque thing that was almost unrecognizable as a head actually belonged to someone from the Dwarf race.

"What you're seeing out there aren't monsters, they're Undead or to be more precise, they're almost Undead." (Caitlyn)

"These are Souls that invade bodies and devour the original Souls while keeping the body alive, but these Souls are not Ghosts or Spectres, they are corrupted Souls that upon finding a body begin to destroy the body because of the taint their Souls have become." (Caitlyn)

"Loathsome things that cling to life so much that they become these things without knowing that the longer they remain in this state, they are only wearing down their Souls until there is only an empty vessel left with no essence left inside." (Caitlyn)

"Was this caused by the Heretic God?" (I)

"Yes, your sister isn't the only one who abhors such a thing, the Goddess of Death finds it intolerable, dozens of Taboo Hunters have been here and attacked, but all of them were destroyed and had their Souls torn to pieces." (Lorraine)

"That's why I was chosen, to stop him once and for all." (Ivan)

After understanding what the creatures that attacked us earlier were, I didn't feel it as much as some people in the room, especially not having anyone I know among the victims, I still find the act itself abhorrent, but I don't get as mad as some of the people here.

"What we are going to do is going to be..." (King Uryma)

After that we started discussing once more, this time it only took 10 minutes where everyone listened to their roles in this plan, in my case, I'm going to need help, a lot of help.

--------------

After the punching meeting, I was with my Familiars, in front of me there was someone coming to help, the Hero of Justice, Allan.

"Why are you here?" (I)

"Unlike you, I care about people, Bianca received an Oracle about this situation and I agreed to come help." (Allan)

"(He looks different...)" (I)
