Chapter 92 - Magic

while grey spent the entire night fighting a swarm of giant wasps to actually find who he wanted to be, lily spent the night being comforted by teddy and watching some memories of her mother.

above both of them was a dark red eyeball flaying with bat like wings observing their every move as if he could see their very souls. "My queen I think the time to intervene is coming closer as lord zilch has also taken an interest in them.''

the figure watching through a mirror made out of pure blood hummed to herself pondering about the words spoken aloud.

''I will speak with my brother myself as he already sensed your presence he will come to me himself out of pure curiosity.''

at that moment a dark green mist came through the floor shining a bright golden light.

An echoing almost sandy voice rings out "SISTER! why have hidden two anomalies of such great power? have you forgotten we need to keep all anomalies under close watch and destroy them if they step out of line.'' 

The lady now slightly squinting used the black wings on her back to cover her eyes as the figure that intruded brought forth a bright golden light in her once dark domain reveling her home realm made entirely out of blood with dark red crystal furniture.

Her form was that of an extremely pale elf with skin whiter than snow itself with a dress made of blood and bright red crystals decorating it. 

her deep scarlet eyes stared down stared down the mass of green mist with a bright golden core at its center like an eye.

"Brother zilch if you must barge in a ladies room yelling at least have the decency to fully form.''

the green mist stopped moving completely as if thinker about her words before it all started coming together in a very odd form.

A plain green figure appeared with no features on its face at all besides the two halos spinning around the head.

the lady looked down at where the nipples should have been only to see two golden eyes and a giant maw full of razor-sharp teeth where his stomach should have been.

Soon enough a cloak made entirely out of a dark green mist as he stared her down angrily.

"To answer your question brother, I only sensed that something started using my power of chaos without connecting to me and I found that interesting and my search soon led to that rabbit who's very life force somehow mutated into my very element without any divine help.''

The odd golden eyes on zilch just blinked in pure confusion. "Huh? Wait sister Azazel you're telling me that the rabbit spirits life force muted to match your attribute without connecting to us divine beings?''

Azael shook her head mockingly as her abyssal black hair fluttered almost magnetically in sync with her wings.

"No brother, he is still connected to us as he awakened the runes of sound and poison. As spirit beast connected to us, he should have eventually evolved into a Rune beast. However, he somehow touched chaos itself when close to death at a young age but the moment he became a chimera the power inside him seemed to synchronize.''

Zilch was in awe at this "So this anomaly is still within the system we created while being connected to the primal?"

"But sister what about that weird elf became a fate stealer elf which is unheard of how is that possible? did you help her out?"

Azazel chuckled cutely as she explained "No that elf connected to the rabbit's chaos energy that mixed with fate energy in a book and as an anomaly those two mixed in her body outside of the set timeline which let her meet our father's sister.''

As the god of dreams and time pondered if that was possible but the more, he thought about it the more it seemed possible if all if chaos and fate mixed inside a body with the powers of space that existed outside the set timeline it could create this unnatural evolution and if a being as powerful as their father Apo the creator watched over it, the possibility just seemed even more possible however the problem was having all these coincidences line up perfectly shouldn't be possible.

Azazel interrupted zilch's thoughts ''I know what you're thinking brother but think about this, nature itself is all about balance the opposite of us divine are these mortals who can once in a while remind us they too can be powerful. So, since the abyssal claw has repeatedly changed the set timeline and we can't stop him no matter how hard we try what should nature do to counter someone who draws power from both dark and light while constantly cloning.

zilch though about everything truly had an opposite while he was the god of dreams and time his older brother was the god of Day and space and while Azazel was the goddess of blood and chaos their older sister was the goddess of night and fate.

So, with that logic in mind what would the opposite of someone with a connection to time, light, darkness and cloning be?

he slowly turned his gaze to the blood mirror displaying the sleeping elf and the fighting rabbit "The of a time traveler with his powers would be a creature outside to new timeline he created with powers over space and the ability to take fate into their own hands despite his influences...''

The more he spoke the more he realized she might be the counter to the abyssal claw that he himself made by killing all anomies that didn't join he in advertently created this girl who would soon face him in the near future.

But why not tell the others they deserve to know about them and the new that the titian will soon break out and what it truly is.''

Azazel turned to zilch with a face full of utter disgust "Why you ask! because your all cowards ever since sister Adalia and father died no one's been the same as if their scared of another war. But as the goddess of chaos i can feel it all were doing is postponing the inevitable.''

''You refuse to look into the past out of fear of seeing everything again but can't see forward in time due to all the constant changes being made Glory is sulking in another realm under pretext of keeping that monster locked away Peonies has turned her attention to that school she built as a distraction. Hydra is just killing anything he deems suspicious while Selena and lux are constantly arguing about to bring them back!''

Zilch took a few steps back in surprise at Azazel's outburst as killing intent filled the entire area the only one trying to prepare for this is our niece parity and Me! I've been the one amassing warriors and fighters for the day they break loose while you fools grieve and live in the past. You want to tell them what we found out about the titan and those trying to free it go ahead but so much as mention that rabbit and elf to them and i will pluck your eyes and force feed it to your rear DO WE HAVE AN UNDERSANDING!''

she was now towering over the quivering zilch he knew if he told the other gods they would try to kill these potential threats like they tried with the true demigods. And as the goddess of blood and chaos she might actually try fighting everyone to protect those two alongside her army.

Her gaze drilled into him as if waiting for an answer "Of course sister i just need to know two things what plans do you have to keep them on the right path and what has little parity been doing?"

her overwhelming presence disappeared as if it never existed "I'll have my only apostle look after them and train them himself to the point they can actually make a change in the future. As for little parity despite being the goddess of rebirth and undeath she has been making big moves with her angels Gaia and Genisis despite her parents constant feuding i as a being of both life and death she can feel all the death coming...''

''Very well you may tell her as to bring her into our plans of preparing for the worst without accidently ruining each other's plans.''

zilch soon disappeared leaving Azazel all alone "Their all-so prey minded it's better to be the hunter waiting then a clueless prey. No one else known's that the only reason parity cares so much is because she fell in love with a mortal and i can use that as it's always the outcasts the make big changes around them.''

 somewhere else in another realm completely a man covered in a pitch-black smoke was breathing heavily as nine mini black holes surrounded him taking in the black ocean that kept attacking him.

"YOU Damm brute! must you eat everything in sight like a hungry animal why must you act like this when your master isn't here!''

countless eyes and mouths of various kind appeared on the now still black ocean and spoke in unison sounding like a crowd of people and animals "Your cursed immortality makes you a source of endless food and supplies and you lead master to a trap.''

The abyssal claw was visibly appalled as the sounds of teeth clenching and breaking rung out "All i asked your useless master to do was destroy this dammed forsaken world that has hurt me over and over again but the two of you got imprisoned while the gods here wanted to keep me alive to be tortured. None of you wish to kill me only to extend my suffering so i will destroy everything until someone finds a way to kill me.''

the gazes all over showed varied expressions from pity, glee, contempt and most of all frustration ''Why should any of us higher beings give you what you want? we all are primal forces of nature while your just a mere mortal who connected to a twilight he doesn't understand gained power near our own and complains about his own insufferable feeling like they matter!''

the abyssal claw out of pure anger threw all nine mini black holes at the creature below him "I will not be belittled by a glutton that ate an entire dimension and still yeans for more you are nothing more than a walking stomach.''

countless beams of light and darkness rained down upon the creature just let it happen for a few minutes "see suffering is temporary it doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things. now let's talk as your only options are be eaten for eternity or help me release us as i already have agents about to open a crack in space of me in about a year and then we can free master and once the planets ceases so will you.''

The abyssal claw visibly calmed down as he flew closer silent as if plotting something

The next day lily summoned her forth permanent summon and out of the gate appeared a black cat with purple eyes and two tails. "Aww it's so cute!'' lily quickly tried to pet the kitty, but crystal quickly picked her up as Adam stepped forward, I'm glad to see you back to your old self if only partly but you should know the dangers of summoning better than anyone.''

crystal nodded along as she continued to hold up lily like a bag of groceries while the black cat turned to the magic summoning circle behind it as if studying it "Fascinating implementation of primitive magic but such a thing shouldn't be possible.''

thank to lily sharing the translation ability of grey among everyone they understood the strange mews coming out of the cat.

"So according to this circle it calls forth beings throughout space so you can borrow their power and knowledge to enhance your own.''

the cat turned to everyone in his sight and his gaze seemed to see pass their bodies "I see your all natives of this land except that rock creature and the turtle while using a very primitive but effective use of magic that marks your very souls with powers connected to your divine beings here to keep you all in check while letting you grow but that seems so dangerous unless they had to?''

The next few minutes was the cat ignoring everting and studying everyone and their energy flow while muttering to himself. however, the moment he spoke to Adam as they were both researchers at off, they talked about theories for what seemed like forever until the gate that led him here started flickering in and out of reality.

"oh silly me I guess I have to make a deal to serve you to stay here... how about in return for all the knowledge you can get your hands on you let me study it and in turn i will protect you little missy.''

lily felt weird being called little by a cat but accepted, nonetheless. "That's great!' lily finally finished the contract that bonded them together before asking "So what can you do?''

"Oh silly me I'm a jinxed named Hex from the planet omen nice to you guys, As for what I can my black jinx tribe can manipulate negative probability while i use mirror and illusion magic.''

sky was the first to ask "what is this magic you speak of?"

jinx stopped for a moment before realizing "OH that's right as this is a different world you must call it something else, Magic is basically using your soul and body to command the energy around us to form different creation you have a very simplified version where you engrave an element of extreme compatibility into your very soul using one of your gods as a base, probably a gift from birth that only awakens later in life under some set condition.''

"Like this?'' lily created a summoning glyph to show hex who brightened with delight

"Yes while it its very simply there seems to be no problems with this circle is this also part of your world?"

lily quickly explained how glyphs and flow were created by her master who was trying to make it wide spread with littles success.

"I see with such a simple and easy to use power system already in place only those lacking or desperate would resort to something so different and difficult. I can't wait to see more, this world seems to be so interesting.''
