Will of chaos

Chapter 1273 Cap 1271: Freya's decision

Pov Freya's: 

During Zenos Training. 

I was thinking as I saw the others leaving, Ibuki spoke of her plan to which Érica and Kira decided to join immediately, Diana was the only one to refuse saying with weight in her voice that her path was different, and then her eyes shone when her Aura pulsed before a smile appeared on her face, her God got in touch promising to make her stronger. 

I saw the 4 leaving, all of them having plans to get stronger, and none of them needed to say the reason since it's obvious to all of us, I myself felt tempted to follow Ibuki's plan, but I said I wanted to think a little before taking my decision. 

"Ibuki's plan is to play with luck, Zenos does not have his power under control, and there are also no guarantees of the outcome of this plan." (I) 

"If it were just up to me, then I would go, but if something goes wrong, I'm afraid he'll blame himself for our decision." (I) 

"What do you think, Silvia?" (I) 

"Ibuki and Érica are firmly on my Father's path, Kira could seek power through Byakko, but is not able to wait for him to regain his peak power, this plan will not affect that much either, about Diana the result is as she said." (Silvia) 

"I wasn't talking about them, but about myself." (I) 

"I know... but you already know the answer, you can feel it, your connection with nature is great enough to realize it." (Silvia) 

"I'm sorry for disappointing you." (Silvia) 

"It's okay... I know you're not lying..." (I) 

Zenos's power has brought me everything I am today, but I feel that is not where I should go, his power seems complementary with nature as part of the natural cycle, but is opposite to the Harmony from which Elves originate, as an Ancient Elf always I knew this, I can feel how our Auras complement each other exactly because we are opposites. 

"(Even if the plan works, I would be gaining something now while cutting off a future path at best... but what should I do?)" (I) 

"Aren't you going to ask why I'm here?" (Silvia) 

"You are not here, this is a spiritual image while using the tree in the main square." (I) 

"Yes, you are one of the only ones who can notice this since Nix and Layla are unconscious." (Silvia) 

"Just like my brothers, I'm in the middle of my trip, I don't have much, but before I left I heard Ibuki speaking out loud, I knew it would end like this." (Silvia) 

"I have a solution for you, but it won't be easy, just like Diana, your path will be different and there will be responsibilities." (Silvia) 

"Will it take me away from others? Will it take me away from my daughter? Will it take me away from Zenos?" (I) 

"No, but that doesn't mean it will be a lighter burden than Diana has to carry." (Silvia) 

"Will my wish come true?" (I) 

"Yes, I have no doubt about that." (Silvia) 

"Then there is nothing more to say, tell me what I should do." (I) 

"You must find a World Tree to..." (Silvia) 

---------------- 

In the bone base near the planet taken by the Apostles of Truth. 

Silvia and I were sitting opposite each other, we had just communicated with the planet's World Tree and I exchanged a look with Silvia. 

"This is the moment." (I) 

"You shouldn't have done it like that, it's going beyond the plan I suggested." (Silvia) 

"But it will work, I can't let the World Tree Die because of the Apostles of Truth." (I) 

"Freya, don't be impulsive like my Father, you saw how much your act of despair and impulsiveness put him close to death or worse if you do that..." (Silvia) 

"That's my decision, she won't do me any harm and you know that the risk to her is no less than the one I'm running." (I) 

Silvia had serious eyes, but I didn't divert my line of vision, for the first time in a long time I had a clear path to follow, a path I chose alone and I couldn't help but laugh when I realized the influence of that man on me, it seems like spending so much Time with him brought out some of his bad habits in me. 

"We need help, you will need to be protected in the first stage, I will talk to Natasha." (Silvia) 

---------------- 

Newly created Sacred Land of Zenos at the foot of the World Tree. 

I left Natasha behind as she walked to the World Tree alongside Silvia. 

The World Tree was in a terrible state, I could see the natural energy flows, they were destroyed, and all the energies were in total chaos while the World Tree itself was visibly weak looking like a dead tree. 

When we arrived at the foot of the World Tree there were bodies on the ground, all of them were Elves from the three sister races, they were wrapped in vines and seemed to be sleeping, but I couldn't feel any vital firmness coming from them. 

"They are dead?" (I) 

"No, the vitality has been stripped from their bodies, I can feel it coming from the ground since we left the teleportation gate, but with the Sacred Land that feeling has almost disappeared." (Silvia) 

"(They suck the vitality from the entire planet, I tried to delay their progress and weaken their plans, but I failed by falling into this state.)" 

Soon a sphere of light appears along with a neutral voice speaking in our minds, his voice was light almost like a whisper showing weakness. 

"Hello sister, I'm glad you're still alive." (Silvia) 

"(Not for long, when the planet is completely consumed I will follow the same path, even if they save the Planet my connection will be destroyed permanently.)" 

When we all looked in one direction, near the trunk of the World Tree a multicolored ethereal energy flowed around it, but as soon as I laid my eyes on that energy all my blood started flowing in the same rhythm as if it was natural to do so. 

"Did you hide the Will of the World here?" (Silvia) 

"(At the same moment you arrived, all I can do is buy time and try to protect this spark of hope.)" 

"I don't know if we can save this Planet, but we'll try." (I) 

"They are still alive, are you using your essence to keep them in a state of half death?" (Silvia) 

"(Yes, but the one who did this was my Elf King, he used his life to save his people, I'm just keeping what he started since they are the last survivors of this world.)" 

"I'll take care of them." (Silvia) 

"< Chaos Magic: Garden of Nature >" (Silvia) 

"(A Portable Separate Space?)" 

"Yes, a space created by me using all the elements, can be considered a permanent Territory without the practicality of using it in a fight." (Silvia) 

A ring of vines covered in flowers with a thin layer of water reflecting a garden appears above the Elves as Fairies and Spirits come out leading the Elves inside before closing. 

"Everyone should be safe now." (I) 

"(Thanks for saving them, but we don't have time to waste.)" 

"Open up, sister." (Silvia) 

"(Once the process starts it cannot be stopped, make sure you follow this path.)" 

"Yes." (I) 

"Start, Silvia." (I) 

I take off my clothes, my body is already covered in Runes and Magic Circles connected together looking like golden vines were painted on my body, I can still feel the presence of Zenos contained in this mixture of paint and his blood. 

"< In the name of nature and for the preservation of the circle of existence I call upon those who regulate the existence of all life for a Ceremony of a new Herald of Nature. >" (Silvia) 

"< May my body be the instrument of birth and my Spirit of Will be the eternal link of union. >" 

The roots emerged from the ground forming unique patterns and all the elements in the surroundings seemed to be forced into a specific flow forming a copy of that drawn on my body in the surroundings. 

The bark of the World Tree breaks, revealing an infinite space that seems to shrink, making the strange crystal Tree inside appear larger and larger in my vision. 

This multicolored crystal tree seemed to be the very flow of countless energies within it, its movement seemed like the movement of the entire world around it. 

Soon this tree seemed to fall apart while the crystal from which it was made seemed to melt into a multicolored pool that surrounded the sphere of light, forming the outline of a featureless body other than having a humanoid shape. 

The amount of liquid should be enough to fill a large lake miles deep, but the human figure was as tall as me as it floated towards me. 

The Will of the World seemed to try to get closer before the Silhouette extended a hand making it return to its own. 

Each of his movements were smooth and seemed to belong to the world itself, it was a strange sensation and yet he seemed weakened when he arrived in front of me. 

The diagrams made from the natural power flow of the surroundings come together on your body as a mirror of what is drawn on my body. 

"< From today onwards we are a single being in life. >" 

"< From today onwards we are a single being in life. >" (I) 

"< Binding of the Essence of Harmony >" (Silvia) 

I soon felt euphoria within my body, I felt the energy flows within the silhouette following my blood flow, and its movements became mirrors of my movements to the point that I didn't know if it was me imitating the silhouette. 

Our hands meet in the middle while the Runes and magic circles on our bodies shine, making energy flow between us, a soft and infinite power passes through my body, sinking more and more. 

Soon I was in a trance state where I knew everything that was happening and was still moving naturally without my control, the world itself seemed to pulse around us while its liquid body seemed to pass into my body with each pulse of nature, an indescribable connection forming between us where I found myself looking more and more at my own image. 

I was no longer aware of time or surroundings as our bodies merged into one creature, its power flowing into me and beyond me as I felt my body changing. 

Soon my own Soul seemed to be entangled in vines and branches while my body demonstrated this by becoming wood, each pulsation made more of me wood until my consciousness went out at the same moment that the liquid crystal silhouette was completely absorbed into my body. 

When I opened my eyes, not knowing how much time had passed, I was in a forest of floating trees around a tree so colossal that it seemed to contain all existing things, its fruits seemed to be entire plants, infinite numbers of them in the distance. 

I felt countless wills arise from each tree extending around my body, even the unprecedented tree in the center extended limitless will around me as I felt myself becoming one with nature. 

"< We accept you as Herald of Nature, may your presence represent us all! >" (all)
