Chapter 52 - Connection.
Inside the 8th layer of Asgard, the chaos around the angels was rotating faster. The nuclear energy ball was also spinning faster as the heat was spreading into the layer.
The nuclear energy was growing stronger which every spin, but the angel didn't seem to be satisfied as it was increasing the speed.
Thor, Vidar, and the other creatures in the layer felt the intense heat, but they aren't normal beings so they weren't affected as the angel didn't target them.
However, they also noticed Palkia space power was lowering the power and the runes on the coat also stopped some of the heat.
"This thing is becoming more dangerous with every moment passing by" Vidar said as he looked at the angel holding what seemed to be the sun.
"Yeah, I think it was already this dangerous" Thor shook his head before he said " It pains me to say this, but I don't think it had a reason to use its power in the first place"
Vidar noticed his brother's tone was lower than usual as he felt the helplessness contained, but he can't blame or motivate him.
How far has it been since they felt this kind of despair? Vidar can't remember to be in this kind of situation since they were gods, but today they were hit with the cruel reality.
Now, the only thing keeping Asgard or the world together is Palkia and the runes on the coat. Vidar wasn't able to imagine if this chaos was sent to the outside. Asgard is a realm of gods with divine power protection, but it's almost collapsing.
"Do you think we got a chance, brother?" Vidar said as he clenched his fist while Thor shook his head and said " No, we don't have a single chance"
Thor's words were bland and quiet, but it shook Vidar further than any time as this is the first time the god of thunder spoke like this.
"However, I won't stop trying, even if it meant my end" Thor said as he raised his hammer again.
"Vidar, there's one slim possibility to attack while that thing is busy" Thor flashed with thunder before Vidar said " I don't think it showed any other interest except from that spinning ball, but how do we plan to attack?"
"I'll attract it attention and you strike after it focus on me" Thor closed his eyes before he said " Don't hesitate, Vidar"
Vidar looked at Thor as he remained silent for a while before he said "I know..."
When the two brothers were planning for their last attempt, Leo was walking in the world of chaos as he was going from one door to another.
Each door was showing a different place, a different result, and sometimes the same door showed nothing or multiple possibilities as Leo was walking through them without thinking.
He can't sense his Longinus now or anyone of his beasts which limits him so much, even if there's a way to find a flaw because this world is flawed, but it is not worth it.
[Advocate of Gender Equality: Do you have a plan or you're just walking around]
"That's exactly what I'm doing" Leo said calmly as he opened another door which led to a building with a lot of mirrors around.
[NEET Princess: You seem to know what you're doing]
"No, I don't... I can't see anything about this place" Leo was looking around before he said " This place is just chaos... A pure chaos which I'm trapped in"
[Big Sister Lion: The outside seems crazier than this world you're in]
"..." Leo stopped his footsteps as he stared at the screen while the Chat Room members had a bad feeling.
Leo calmly raised his hand as he caught the screen and fixed it in a single position. The Chat screen in front of every member went crazy at that moment.
The picture was rotation, advancing, retreating, moving sideways, and every other irregular move from spinning or freaking out. The islands in the chaos weren't even following the screen movement as they were acting in their own way, which made the group have motion sickness.
[Advocate of Gender Equality: Okay! Okay! I understand, stop it!]
Leo let go of the screen as the picture returned to normal for the chat group members, but they still took a while to recover.
[Bri-Bri: Don't do that again!]
[NEET Princess: My brain hurt!]
"Do you understand now? This place can't be calculated because there's nothing to be calculated and it's a part of me, so I can't see it" Leo said as he walked to the previous door and opened it up.
"Do you see this?" The door was showing a way to another island different from where Leo came in. However, he closed the door again before opening it as thousands of places were swapping.
"This is the theme of this place, the infinity possibilities that start from the beginning, but all of them existing in one place is chaotic" Leo looked to the sky as the dark void was showing some colors before he said " Even if each one of them leads to the same end... At least for now"
"So I need to stop this cycle... Those notes might contain some answers" Leo said as he closed the door and walked towards the building.
Leo's ability to look into the timelines isn't invincible as it is limited with some conditions. He can't see himself in the past or the future as he only sees himself now. Any attempt to see the future or the past about himself ends up with a blank, nothing, a missing piece from history.
When looking at the future of the others, Leo only sees the future when he doesn't interfere, but when he says or does something, then the whole timeline gets refreshed and he needs to calculate again. His eyes can't see beings that have a strong power or concepts as they will only appear in the present or never at all.
He doesn't know why that happened, maybe it's because he became an angel or something, but these limitations aren't just on himself. The Book of The Law, and especially the extra notes he found, fall into this category.
16 minutes and 21 seconds ago, Leo saw Cao Cao looking at the true Longinus while checking on his subordinates. From their conversation and actions, he found out that the True Longinus was out of control, but there was something wrong.
Leo couldn't see anything in the time when the True Longinus was supposed to go crazy, he was able to see before and after that period, but nothing about that specific point in time.
[NEET Princess: You mean the phrases? I already have an idea about them...]
Leo was walking slowly around the building, his reflection showing his angel power in the outside as it reminded him of how ridiculous this situation is, but Kaguya's message picked his interest.
[Advocate of Gender Equality: You just googled them, didn't you?]
"If you're going to say, God. Then you should stop now" Leo said as he noticed something wrong on the other side.
[NEET Princess: *Ahem* First, the Secret Emperor, which means God]
[NEET Princess: You're no fun at all. But this is the best guess for now]
"Just because it came before Kabbalah doesn't mean it is correct if it isn't proven" Leo squinted his eyes while looking at his power, he couldn't see correctly as his power was distorting everything around it.
[NEET Princess: Is it just because you don't want to admit that your brain is so corrupt that it made a book about Christianity a Jojo reference?]
"Ah-... I mean... Well" Leo raised his hand before lowering it then raising it again, only to stop as he put his hand on his chin and started thinking.
[Advocate of Gender Equality: * Nigh-omniscience.exe has stopped working*]
Leo shook his head to clear his head from the corruption called Kaguya before he noticed something in the mirror.
"Can anyone of you tell me what's going on outside?" Leo put his hand on the glass as he couldn't see what's going on there as the chaos was spinning faster around the angel.
[Bri-Bri: Thor and his brother seem to have a plan and they're rushing towards the angel]
"Oh, then it's not a pobl-... Dammit!!" Leo's eyes widened as he screamed which shocked the group.
"Are they digging everyone's graves?!" Leo's calm expression was gone as the group was more confused, except for Thor doing something terrible.
[Bri-Bri: This sounds bad]
[Advocate of Gender Equality: It's not like they will defeat you or something... Right?]
"This isn't about me now... Tch" In the glass reflection, Leo stared at the angel and the spinning chaos before he clenched his fist and clicked his tongue.
"There's no helping it, huh..." Leo said with a small voice as his halo was glowing brightly, which brought some different colors to this world.
Leo took a deep breath before he raised his hand as the Book of the Law started to float in front of him and 24 runes appeared while circling around it.
With every rune appearing, Leo started to change as his body glowing, but it also transformed faster into a void.
"Do you think only you can get high wired?..." Leo said as he put his hand on the book while his halo glowed more, as it blinded some members in the group.
The 24 runes did a full circle before they touched the mirror at the angel location. Leo saw this as he put his hand on the book and hit the mirror with it.
*CREAK!!* *CRACK!!*
Leo clenched his teeth as he was pushing the book of the Law against the mirror. Glass shattering sound and creaking were heard from the mirror as the world around Leo was getting more distorted than before.
The spell can't be stopped, but that doesn't mean it can't be pushed forward. However, that comes with consequences as Leo was getting more corrupted by this world.
Six phrases from the book started glowing which are Secret Emperor, Kabbalah, Rhinoceros beetle, Alpha, Spiral staircase, Calathea as the 6 sharps tips grew longer on the halo, but the 7th phrase Papilio glaucus butterfly was also glowing dimly.
*CRACK!!!!*
With the last cracking sound, the mirror broke as the whole area was covered in light and all the group members were blinded by it.
Meanwhile, in Asgard 8th layer. Thor was raging like thunder as he was launching 100 meters wide lightning strikes against the angel, but all those attacks were useless as the lightning lost its power immediately.
However, Thor already knew this would happen, so he rushed with those lightning strikes and attacked the angel which didn't care at all as its full attention was on the nuclear ball in its hands.
"VIDAR!!" Thor screamed as he powered himself with thunder again and discharged an enormous amount of lightning around which blocked all the vision around.
Vidar, who was hiding in one of the lightning bolts, jumped as he used his brother's assistance to launch himself from the sky at a ridiculous speed.
The space was getting distorted by Vidar's kick as he arrived behind the angel instantly and kicked with all his might. However, the kick was also blocked by the invisible barrier, but it caused a reaction, even if that reaction wasn't good.
Using its powers to block two different types of attacks is very simple for the angel, but that made the angel distracted as it slightly lost control over the nuclear energy rotation.
Something had changed at that moment, Thor and Vidar couldn't tell exactly what it was, but the chaos which slowed down its rotation made them sweat as the angel looked at them.
Fear and despair. These are the feelings Thor and Vidar got, even if they tried to push them away, but the angel eyes made them awaken those feelings once again.
The angel dropped the nuclear ball from its hands as the core was collapsing and the heat was rising, but the angel didn't care as it did something completely new. The black wings on its back finally started moving as the right-wing moved back a little.
No feeling, no sense, no sound. Nothing was emitting from the wing as the world stood in silence before the wing moved and waved towards Thor and Vidar.
However, before the swing was completed, the angel body moved suddenly as it used its own hand to catch the wing before screaming " PALKIA!! OPEN IT!!"
Palkia felt a familiar connection as he used his power to open a space hole above the layer which lead to the sky
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*
The whole Asgard... No, the planet was shaking at this one strike from Leo's wings.
