Chapter 1337 Cap 1335: Lord of the Abyss
Pov Freya's:
I could just see in the water mirror, every fight he had in the tournament, combining his power with that of 3 Gods to spread his power among those fighting and now he was taking the lead with the others while I was still here.
"Why can't I be there? He needs me and I want to be there!"?(I)
"You can go if you want, but you know the outcome."
"That's not fair, I wish I could be by his side and not this..." (I)
"Forget this fleeting moment, you will have eternity with him, but you must complete the process just as he must complete his own path."
"Don't rush things out of childish feelings, I know you understand the repercussions of what you chose."
"I... I understand... but the frustration I feel..." (I)
I turn looking at the Tree behind me, its size knows no limit its branches cover infinity while each of its crystal leaves contain entire worlds, its trunk being made of the intertwining of all the elements and around us endless islands of beautiful buildings where countless women talk to each other.
"Destruction is easy to achieve, every thing that exists will one day be destroyed and I am no exception."
"The one you love has the power of change that opens countless paths, but only that, his power is not suited to destroy and he does not possess the ability to create."
"Even though his changes and transformations are the path that connects both creation and destruction, he needs to balance his power at some point, find a point of balance so as not to be consumed in his own change."
"I know, I know..." (I)
"(I know, but seeing him suffer and not being able to be there when he's always there for me... that's unbearable.)" (I)
"(But it's not now that I have to think about, I have to be ready for what's to come.)" (I)
I had to reaffirm my decision, the more time spent here, the worse it is to be separated from him, time here is different, it passes much more slowly, she did that for me, and I can't grow as quickly as he does, but I can grow at different times as I do your side.
"How much time left?"?(I)
"The Essence pool is almost full with the second Essence."
"Thank you, I'll spend this time studying while I wait."?(I)
"(I will wait, he will not be in danger while he is by his mother's side, in the meantime I must be prepared for anything.)" (I)

Pov Zenos:
The conversation with the Goddess Selene was longer than it should have been, she wanted to explain everything to me in detail as if she were explaining it to a child, but at least I understood most of the things.
"Are you sure you're going in?"?(Nix)
"Yeah, looks like I don't have much of a choice."?(I)
"..." (Nix)
"Don't look at me like that, if I refuse to enter I'll only cause more problems, I'm also sure I'll be rewarded for it."?(I)
So far the Gods have always been clear in their punishments and rewards, so I know I will get something in return after all this, there also seems to be something going on.
My mother said that the Gods always make garlic for more than one reason, I also know that the movements of the Gods cause disturbances throughout the universe.
They planned all of this for a reason, even this battlefield is just another trial of theirs for everyone here, they want to get all their allies prepared for something that is coming, and maybe that's why there are no people who don't belong to one of the religions here, even the People of the Church of Light are not here.
"Is everyone ready?"?(I)
"Yes, Ivan is particularly looking forward to it."?(Nix)
"I can imagine, he hates Creatures of the Abyss."?(I)
I still remember the weak skeleton who spent 20 years taking care of his daughter in a basement, it was a Creature from the Abyss that killed his wives, Servants, and everyone in his house, it was also this type of creature that killed him, his hatred for them did not will never weaken.
"Then as soon as you give the signal, follow orders from me or Nicole."(I)
"Everyone knows this, they're ready."(Nix)
------------------
For the next few minutes, all I and everyone on this floating continent did was wait while staring at the scar in the sky pulsing every few seconds.
When a whirlwind formed in the center of the spatial scar in the sky, everyone knew it was the signal, a brief meeting took place between the leaders of the various Religions present at the moment where my sisters and I participated.
It was nothing too extravagant and no complicated plans were put together, it was a basic action meeting where it was decided that those strongest would go in first to ensure a safe place for those who followed shortly after.
The strongest are the Minor Gods, then the Demigods will enter to reinforce the Minor Gods who entered first and finally, the others enter.
The only variable in the plan is me who must be the first to enter where my Territory must be formed and assimilated into the environment as planned.
So as soon as the portal opened, I entered first, doing exactly that, the Minor Gods following me inches away.
All of this was easy to do, as soon as I touched the Portal I felt the powers of Gods I already know interact with me as if waiting for my cooperation.
When I used my Territory I could feel it being dismantled by the power of the Gods while integrated into another place, it was a strange sensation for me as if my own body had been dismantled.
As soon as I could see the other side it was a strange battlefield, there were deserted forests, lakes, parts of cities, rocky mountains, and ice mountains, there was even a starry sky with the golden sun high above, stars of countless colors shining as they red clouds were scattered.
This whole place is as if several different environments had been jumbled together, it was strange to see and made little sense.
It was a strange scene, but I had little time to think about it when an attack was aimed at me, it was what looked like a Human with long arms and a scorpion tail that it used to attack.
But the same Minor God with a metal body and fiery eyes that I fought against in the tournament appeared in front of me, clashing head-on with that Abyss Creature.
The fight is intensifying as more and more Abyss Creatures were appearing rushing towards us, but soon reinforcements appeared from the portal, Demigods came as large reinforcements helping to keep a very large area as a safe point.
At that time, people from the various Religions came next with my companions coming first, they helped organize the safe point that will be used as a base during this battle.
The battle was becoming very intense at that moment, as if awakened by the number of people around, some Abyss Creatures seemed strange, they appeared as if crossing space and moved differently.
They didn't attack directly with just pure aggression like other Abyss Creatures normally do, I also noticed that they had some degree of control over the other Abyss Creatures.
It was Natasha who stopped next to me who told me what that Creature of the Abyss was, he was called the Lord of the Abyss, just as the Creatures of the Abyss do not have life, Soul, or emotions, but they have a consciousness functioning as a general or leader for the Creatures of the Abyss who lack any level of intelligence.
When I heard that, I just thought about how much work we still have ahead of us.
"How do we defeat that thing?"(I)
Natasha was in her Dragon form, but with my question, she returns to her human form standing next to me to explain.
"An Abyss Lord has minimal strength at the level of a Demigod, this coupled with their lack of weaknesses and a thinking mind makes them difficult enemies to deal with."(Natasha)
"Luckily there don't seem to be many, but be careful."(Natasha)
"..." (I)
"(They couldn't have...)" (I)
I suddenly realized that the number of so-called Lords of the Abyss that my sister counted are similar to the number of Demigods and Minor Gods on our side, my first release was that this was a part of the ordeal that the Gods wanted to let happen.
But what we did next was attack for the first time, this is because we noticed that the Abyss Creatures that stopped their attacks were changing as a whole taking on more specific forms as they split into specialized groups.
Any idiot could see traces of the movement of an army forming in the way they are behaving, waiting for them to finish their preparations will only bring losses and that's why we start an attack.
I wasn't part of the initial attack, what I was doing was preparing rituals with my blood to serve as ranged attacks using some of my chaos power.
When I finished doing the rituals, I participated more personally in the battle, each Religion was acting on its own and the same applies to my group who were receiving orders mostly from Nicole who had the best mind for logical strategies, she was also very good at multitasking, making her a competent leader.
"(Now, how long will these battles last?)" (I)
