Chapter 1334 Cap 1332: Tournament in Chaos
?Pov Athena's:
We all came to this tournament, but no one will participate for fear of causing any inconvenience to Zenos.
I really wanted this opportunity to face such powerful individuals, wherever I looked these days everyone I saw was strong to the point where I felt apprehensive.
The only ones having more fun here are Zenos and Loki's Familiars, that idiot has been doing Business for the last day with Deities I don't recognize, but from what I heard from Veronica, he wants to set up a betting table.
It was at that moment that someone came to me, it was Magnus, he seemed apprehensive saying that he saw someone who should be dead, it seems that he is a Human who trained among the Dragons of Light before the conflict that led to their separation from the other True Dragons.
I went to the others and together we investigated, but no one wanted to warn Zenos about it, so we had to do it ourselves or that's what I wish I could say, luckily there are less self-centered people among us and thanks to that we joined the certain religions to investigate, thanks to this we discovered some people who should no longer be alive.
When we try to capture some of them, it always goes wrong, it doesn't make sense for them to just disappear like that, nor did those with affinities with the space element manage to stop them from leaving.
During the Tournament, everyone was paying attention, with each progression of the tournament and some things got strange, the first was the presenter, on some occasions, his eyes were strange, whenever he said something in Fábio dos Deuses his eyes shone strangely for a while mere moment, no one would notice it without looking at it in detail.
I said this to everyone, but during the last fight where Zenos won, we were going to catch him, but we were prevented by 2 of the religions that we considered trustworthy and stopped us from being able to act.
It was at that moment that something happened, just as it had happened in the past, at the end of the tournament or more precisely on the day of the awards ceremony the sky turned dark as a large crack in the shape of a spider web formed, thousands of claws were pulling the fragments of the sky until they started to invade, they were creatures that everyone here had already seen.
"Creatures of the Abyss, lots and lots of them."?(I)
"Gather everyone with Zenos!"?(I)
----------------
Pov Zenos:
I was frustrated, the night before I received a visit from a God instead of sleeping, I woke up more tired than yesterday.
To make matters worse, I had a stupid awards ceremony to go to and as if all that wasn't enough, the first person I saw when I opened my door was Elizabeth.
"Can I talk to you before the Awards Ceremony?"?(Elizabeth)
"Yes, just wait..." (I)
When I blinked my eyes from sleep, I was already in a deserted place, I looked up at the sky and recognized the floating islands in all directions, I was somewhere in the World Arena.
"Why did you bring me here?"?(I)
"There's something I want to say to you, but you never know who's listening, so give me your hand."?(Elizabeth)
I shake Elizabeth's hand and it was at that moment that she made very deep cuts, but before closing the wounds or healing, I tried to keep them open by letting them bleed, it seems that Elizabeth has something she wants to do with my blood and in a short time I feel a presence in my thoughts.
"(Something will happen during the Awards Ceremony, I want you to use your Divine Weapon at this time.)" (Elizabeth)
"(What's going to happen?)" (I)
"(An attack, a crack will open in space, a very large and difficult one to close, because there are many Deities in that place the space is not normal, and thanks to this this crack will be too big to close normally.)" (Elizabeth)
"(What are the enemies and why should I do something? There are dozens of Minor Gods around here and hundreds of Demigods, I also know that at least 4 Gods are present with the possibility of the Demon Goddess Kalistos still being present after whatever what happened yesterday.)" (I)
"(What will happen will be something that cannot be solved with just raw power, it needs the right power used correctly.)" (Elizabeth)
"(What do I have to do?)" (I)
"(Our mother will channel her power through you along with the Goddesses of Life and Death, you need to let these powers flow through you to your Divine Weapons.)" (Elizabeth)
"(Will the others be okay?)" (I)
"(Yes, I asked Magnus for help to direct them on the correct path, they will realize what is about to happen and prepare accordingly.)" (Elizabeth)
"(Those close to you usually prepare for the worst at any sign of trouble quite naturally, which is great considering what's about to happen.)" (Elizabeth)
"(How many know about what's going to happen?)" (I)
"(Few, just enough to keep things under control to some extent.)" (Elizabeth)
"..." (I)
This time I didn't say anything, I just looked at her, I didn't need any words for her to understand what my look meant.
From the beginning this tournament was strange, the first stage seemed like a way to discard excess, but from the second stage onwards things changed a lot, Creatures from the Abyss are not the same as monsters, they are not even real living Creatures, they are Illusory empty shells with the sole function of destruction, using these things here in a Divine Tournament is madness.
The last battle was also strange, they prevented me and Zharif from using our Territories, after the battle I also felt something happening in a place I couldn't see, the way everything was silent at the beginning and how it became silent again after the Goddess of Death speak before finally being sent work out of that place, the Gods were arguing and maybe it had something to do with what Elizabeth is talking about.
While I was lost in thought Elizabeth lets go of my hand, our blood that was connected separates as her presence in my mind disappears.
"You don't need to know anymore now and please don't make anything up like you usually do."(Elizabeth)
In the blink of an eye, we were back in my room, Elizabeth left leaving just me with a lot of new thoughts to deal with until the Awards Ceremony.
The ceremony itself was simple, it was a speech about the worst and best moments of this tournament, and there were recordings from the worst events to the most incredible.
All this with some very specific comments in each recording, suddenly everything was perfectly clear, the awards ceremony was being used as a way of correcting something's mistakes by seeing other people's mistakes as a basis, this at the same time as showing the right way of doing things from others.
All the pieces fell into place in my mind, this wasn't a Tournament, it was never a real tournament this is a training ground and this Awards Ceremony is being used as a lesson in right and wrong ways to do things, from the At first there were no fatalities apart from the Demigod in my hands.
"(If I'm right, then I already know who these enemies Elizabeth spoke of are.)" (I)
KRAC!!!
It didn't take long for me to confirm my suspicions, suddenly a crashing sound reverberated in all directions as spider web-
shaped cracks took over the sky as far as we could see.
Soon countless strange hands were pulling at these pieces of space to try and get out, anyone here could recognize these Abyss Creatures.
They broke the space and the more I was seeing the worse it got, bigger and bigger eyes and arms were appearing one after the other.
Looking around it seemed like most people didn't expect this, some were in shock still standing there watching in disbelief, while others were trying to react only to be asked by other people.
I also noticed that the one next to me was lying dead on the ground, it was Malakoi whose body was cut into pieces, someone killed him and I didn't have to look far to find a hand holding a branch.
I tried to measure the size of this hole, but I couldn't even see the edges, this was by far the largest space passage I had ever seen.
The creatures continued breaking the rest of the passage trying to get to that side.
It also didn't take long for me to see the Creatures of the Abyss slowly managing to pass through these gaps, there were simply millions and millions suddenly descending like a waterfall.
Even I wouldn't survive something like that, there were simply too many Creatures from the Abyss, it was at that moment that I felt a hand holding my shoulder and a voice very familiar to me speaking in my mind.
"(Be ready, when spatial restrictions completely fall, it will be time to act.)" (Goddess Selene)
"(Yes, I will do as you say.)" (I)
I said I would wait, but it doesn't mean that others will sit still, the people in the stands and surroundings started to shine, Holy Power was overflowing in the air with so many Deities in the surroundings and everyone is attacking.
"(Just do as asked this time Zenos, don't get into the fight...)" (I)
