This situation couldn't be worse, we have what I suppose is the leader of the enemies in front of us without knowing if there are more enemies around hiding or if they are still on their way, the only one that can face the enemy in question seems to be more interested in to fight than to do the right thing in this situation which would be to run, to close this whole shitty situation like the icing on the cake the two involved are a couple who hate each other.
"(I would really love to know if there is a God of luck, why would I go to any lengths to punch his face until all his teeth fall out before I crack his goddamn skull!)" (I)
In this situation I could very well die of a heart attack or burst a vein in my brain from nervousness, my whole body is being pressed between the Aura of the two bastards who just keep teasing each other.
"I allow you to go with that abomination you call your son, you may as well take the Hero with you, but the others stay behind." (Oros)
"You talk too much, when are you going to stop talking and attack?" (Zoe)
"(It's no use, I can't move my energy anymore after this summoning, I've also spent all my Holy Power.)" (I)
"(I have to do something now, but what can I do?)" (I)
"(Am I really going to have to do this!?)" (I)
Ragnar's mother's hand is still on my shoulder, I try to turn my head to look at her but all she does is stare at the man in the sky glowing like an Archangel wreathed in light, his eyes lost in mad murderous intent, I don't even know if she pays attention to all of us.
I control some of my blood to run a path through the skin of my shoulder just below her palm so I touch my blood directly to her skin, she doesn't look away from me but I feel her Aura turned more towards me and her eyes seem to become lighter.
"(Thanks for dropping by, but why is he picking fights?)" (I)
"(He killed my newborn son in front of me and tried to destroy even his Soul, do you know how long I waited to have him in front of me!?)" (Zoe)
"(We are in enemy territory, not knowing if there are more of them coming and you are at the very least going to have to fight protecting your son, how are you going to do that!?)" (I)
"(We have no other option anyway, the others are already here, we've been surrounded from the start and I only got here using my magic that I put into his Soul a long time ago.)" (Zoe)
Now this is something I didn't know, but it makes sense, as a mother she would want to keep her child safe, even though he was always with a God when he was just a Soul, she wouldn't depend on others when it comes to her own child's safety, then put a protective measure.
To think that she did something like that and I didn't realize it until now, I don't think even Ragnar knew since he was as surprised as I was when she appeared here, probably his projective measure must have reacted to the presence of his old love, that's why it was activated even before him attack Ragnar.
"(Can't you get us out of here?)" (I)
"(The space around that moon is locked, no type of teleportation will work and if we try to run Oros has the advantage in speed.)" (Zoe)
"(If the situation is so bad, why didn't they attack?)" (I)
"(They are more than willing to kill you even by angering the Blood Goddess, but it would be foolish to attack me, your fairy, and the Hero since that would be buying hostility from the other 3 Gods, this is something that would have repercussions that they cannot bear, they can't let us all go either.)" (Zoe)
"(But I managed to summon Nix close to me now.)" (I)
"(That was different, she and we were within the same restrictions, doing this is the only thing you can do.)" (Zoe)
I don't like this situation, he seems to be wasting time trying to make conversation by reaching an agreement with Zoe, but to me, it seems more like he is buying time, the problem is why do that when Zoe claims that there are already others around without me to perceive.
"(If I open this restriction, can you get us out of here?)" (I)
"(I can, but what are you going to do?)" (Zoe)
"(Something really stupid, so I appreciate it if it manages to keep me alive afterwards.)" (I)
"(I don't know what you're going to do, but do it quickly, I promise you won't die.)" (Zoe)
She seems to have accepted this very quickly, she seems calm talking to me this way, but I don't think her murderous intent and aggression towards Oros is a lie.
"(Hades and Nix, you two are in charge, follow this woman's orders with your hand on my shoulder and don't do anything stupid no matter what I'm about to do.)" (I)
I stop connecting with Zoe and temporarily close my connections with my Familiars after leaving a message for them straight into their minds, this was a necessity as I didn't want to cause harm to them by accident.
Sigh
I can't breathe here, but I can still absorb the raw energies in space into my lungs, in a way it still counts as breathing.
I use my Aura and Authority to create a sphere of pure condensed power within myself, then use that power for a very specific technique while forcibly awakening the power of all my blessings at the same time.
Maybe she noticed what she wanted to do or just wanted to avoid that whatever she did wouldn't be noticed by Oros, but the Divine Life Beast used its own to cover my body, it put even more pressure on my body while also providing that not a trace of what I was doing leaked out of my body.
The Blessings of the various Gods were not harmonious or in conflict with each other, as the Blessings of the Gods were individual with each other acting separately from each other unable to gather their power into one.
In the past, I combined these Blessings with a Territory, but that was an indirect way of using their power, at that time the Blessings were still acting separately from each other with their powers only adding to each other, the safest way to do this is to join forces with all those connected to me.
But when I learned to do that it was just a consequence of trying to do something else, something that I couldn't use the help of others having to rely only on my own power.
I use the Aura and Authority that have already shaped the technique as a base as all the blood within my body begins to boil from the power of the Blessings coursing through my body, then I use the essence of my own blood allowing it to become just energy as I open a space in the Inside my body, this essence of my blood crystallizes along with the basis of the fair technique of my Aura and Authority, this creates a core of blood in my abdomen.
I then used this Blood Core to pass all the Blessings down one at a time in a continuous cycle, each time this happened the power of that Blood Core wove together with the blessing making them all connect creating a joint flow of their power, this time it would not be the sum of their individual powers, what they wanted was the multiplication of their powers by becoming one.
What he was doing was something he knew was very reckless and unstable, because it was a one-shot and he didn't know what would happen after that, but in a situation like this, he was running out of time to think.
Each cycle of the Blood Core was like adding a new thread weaving in the blessings, but in this I was also destroying my body, all the healing that Ragnar's mother had given me when she arrived had been reverted to an even worse state than Oros had given me left before.
When I felt that I couldn't take it any further, I realized that the same pressure I felt from the pressure of these two God Beasts before was the only thing keeping me in now.
I open my eyes as I use the threads of power to pull all the Blessings of the various Gods into the Blood Core, and then with a lot of effort, I activate the technique.
"< Eclipse Blessings: Between Harmony and Chaos >" (I)
I felt a power stronger than anything I had ever felt before rush through not only my body but even my Soul like an explosion passing through me, then I lost consciousness falling into the deepest darkness.
Crack
The last thing I saw was the cracking starry sky and an Eclipse, it was a blurred vision as my eyes closed, but that brief moment showed that I had achieved my goal.
For me there was no pain, exhaustion, torment, or anything else that could have been expected, all I felt was a state of existence where no thoughts or emotions were present to me, I was surrounded only by the deepest darkness.
