Will of Сhaos

Chapter 1336: Cap 1334: A lesson learned through pain

?Suddenly I was opening my eyes and memories of what happened filled my mind, I didn't even notice the exact moment I lost consciousness, but I feel from the condition of my body that I have been unconscious for at least a few hours.

"Get up boy."?(God Hatlas)

When I heard this neighbor I immediately stood up looking around me, I still remembered the God of War's neighbor and now I was listening as if she were next to me instead of inside my head.

A bad thought took over me and when I looked around I saw many Gods, many of them I didn't recognize, which only confirmed my bad feeling.

I was surrounded by Gods, which tells me that I am still unconscious, each of them emanates a unique presence and I know they are Gods just looking, some were talking to each other while some were looking at me.

"What is happening?"?(I)

"Preparation, see."?(God Hatlas)

Hatlas placed his finger on my forehead and images invaded my mind, devastating battles happening in the sky, the destruction of the floating continent with the incredible battles happening on land, and a rain of black dust and body parts coming from the sky.

"This was nothing more than a lesson prepared step by step."?(God Hatlas)

"Stop saying it like it's obvious, the others are leaving and we need you."?(God Cratos)

"We need him..." (God Hatlas)

"I also have things to talk to him about, but we don't have time, they are pressuring."?(God Cratos)

"Let me take care of my son, prepare everything."?(Goddess Selene)

"I should have stayed as a Demigod, what's the point in just watching others fight?"?(God Hatlas)

"Shut up and let's go, then we can do some training, I know a dead planet that won't matter when it's destroyed."?(God Cratos)

Suddenly my mother and the God of Beasts approach while all the other Gods disappear as if it were some kind of illusion, the God of War also disappears together with the God of Beasts after a little conversation leaving only my mother with me in that place.

She approaches me and snaps her fingers transforming this room into a garden full of red flowers with a tea table set up.

"Why am I here?"?(I)

"Kalistos wanted to inform you, she doesn't like manipulating people, her direct style of doing things is unfortunately not always possible."?(Goddess Selene)

"(Manipulated, I was being manipulated... but when did it start? Was it the tournament that wasn't a tournament? Was it the use of my Divine Weapon? Maybe it was something else that I myself don't know about?)" (I)

I didn't feel offended to know I was manipulated, those in power or above other people constantly manipulate others.

The words command, order, lead, and govern are just different terms for the same meaning, no matter how much some idiots always tend to argue about why they are different, the fact that they are forms of manipulation doesn't change.

Manipulation may seem like a bad word, but it is not absolutely bad or good, people tend to see many meanings in simple things.

The movements of 1 person only concern themselves and the people around them, but when there is someone responsible for multiple people, the actions and movements of these people are their responsibility. This chapter's initial release occurred on the N0v3l-B1n site.

A Ruler manipulates people with laws and money, a Father manipulates his children with what he will teach and what he will not teach, and a general will manipulate his army during war tactics to move as he wants, there are multiple forms of manipulation.

The Gods have helped me a lot since my birth and I have always done my best to help when needed, I don't always receive all the details, but even I acted it was always for a good reason.

"The conversation I will have with you has been repeated many times, each Religion is teaching those who came to this tournament whether to participate or just to watch."?(Goddess Selene)

"The Gods also communicated with the Lesser Gods and Demigods about this."?(Goddess Selene)

"So the whole tournament was a lie?"?(I)

"No, it was a fair tournament from start to finish, you will also receive your prize as is due, Cratos wanted to have more time for that, so he should come to you later."?(Goddess Selene)

"I thought this tournament was some kind of training..." (I)

"You're right, it was training, many must have noticed it at the end of the second stage of the tournament."?(Goddess Selene)

"So it was a tournament and a training camp?"?(I)

"Yes, don't be surprised by this, when we Gods need to act, we usually do it for more than 1 single reason."?(Goddess Selene)

"The tournament was the perfect stage for intense training but was this kind of training just the beginning, a preparation for what you saw?"?(Goddess Selene)

"Did you know that rift was going to open? Did you know about the Creatures of the Abyss?"(I)

"Yes, the presence of so many Deities made it obvious what was going to happen, but we still had to make the final push."(Goddess Selene)

"The tournament, the training, and the presence of so many Deities as well as people from so many religions together here was for a lesson, to know the enemy."(Goddess Selene)

"Here we took care of everything, a place where any level of destruction was acceptable, people capable of fighting and most importantly, several Gods present to control the situation."(Goddess Selene)

"This plan was thought up 1 year ago thanks to you, your power of chaos gives us room for maneuver, you don't have enough power, but in an emergency, my powers combined with the powers of Life and Death can enhance your as we did this time."(Goddess Selene)

"The power of chaos is versatile, it ignores defenses and immunities, can repair fractured space quickly, and can even mix with any type of power with ease."(Goddess Selene)

"So it didn't matter if I won the tournament or not?"(I)

"Yes, but you still came out the winner, really impressive."(Goddess Selene)

"But I don't understand one thing, why keep it a secret from others?"(I)

"From what you said, the Demigods and Minor Gods didn't even know about it."(I)

I really can't understand, was there any reason to hide something of this level putting so many of the Divine level people in danger?

If it weren't for the absurd level of people here, that amount of Abyss Creatures and with that level of power would be enough to annihilate any planet in a matter of days, just thinking about it is scary.

"You more than anyone else should understand, a lesson learned through pain and suffering from your own experience will always be superior to something learned from study or something you are prepared for."(Goddess Selene)

"Many of these Gods saw the Creatures of the Abyss from afar or didn't really understand their level of danger, there are also Deities who have become complacent and arrogant over time, not to mention some Deities who are not fit for combat."(Goddess Selene)

"Everyone needed to feel the danger and fight for themselves, now each of them will reflect on themselves and possibly the mentality of many of them will change from now on."(Goddess Selene)

So they didn't want to teach people, they just pushed them out of the nest hoping that the danger would make them fly on their own.

This is an extreme way of doing things, but I can understand the reasoning, these are not normal people, they are beings that rule the universe whose actions change the lives of countless creatures, an opportunity for mental and emotional growth like this is not It happens frequently among beings that live eternally.

"(Something is still not right, when I woke up there were many Gods gathered and they seem to be busy, is something still happening?)" (I)

"So it's all over after this battle?"(I)

"That wasn't a battle, it was a mere scare to wake up the battle spirits of those here, the real battle will begin now."(Goddess Selene)

The Goddess raises her hand and her blood circulates the air above her hand forming a mirror that reflects the floating continent, half of the islands around her no longer exist, the continent itself is covered in cracks, ditches and craters, the entire topography has changed since then of a few minutes of combat.

But what caught my attention the most was the sky, there was no Moon or Sun, just fragments that floated in the starry sky around the floating continent.

In that sky was a semi-transparent crack mark that almost confused me, it was also possible to see this crack mark pulsating, it looked like a healed wound.

"The space has not fully recovered, damage of this caliber will take a bit of effort to close."(Goddess Selene)

"The other Gods and I will take care of this while those among you will experience war against Creatures of the Abyss."(Goddess Selene)

"..." (I)

"Don't look at me like that, there are things that should be learned like this, you've fought against these things a few times, but you haven't found a smart one yet."(Goddess Selene)

"The Gods who left here will create a Divine Territory like a dome around this crack in space, you as well as everyone else will fight within this Territory against the Creatures of the Abyss that invade."(Goddess Selene)

"Do I have a choice?"(I)

"The others will have it, but not you, we will need you as an anchor for the Divine Territory, this way we will spread your power among others without needing to put pressure on you or use your Divine Weapons."(Goddess Selene)

"Why does it have to be me?"(I)

"As I said before, this plan began to be created because your chaos power was convenient for it to work."(Goddess Selene)

"..." (I)

Sigh

"(It seems even the Gods are under pressure to carry out such a plan.)" (I)
