BXBX NOVEL Chapter 540 Enraged Gods And Fallens
Somewhere in the Midlands...
Many kingdoms of the Midlands had started to move and surround the entrance that led to the Uninvolved Lands. The greatest obstacle that appeared before them was the Branching Barrier.
It comprised five different kingdoms that lived over the mountainous regions of the Planesworld\'s twigs and leaves. It was a natural fortress and many massive plots of land because the Yggdrasil\'s blades of leaves would branch out. Cities would stack up on each other on every part of the leaves.
The Uninvolved Lands resisted pressure from the kingdoms because of this great barrier. Even with an army that could take flight, the arrangement of the cities that hid and overlapped over other blades of leaves prevented it from bombardment from above. And using magic or force to fly up would exhaust the armies.
The kings of Central Midlands had ordered their best generals to move and claim the lands. Many more who wished to impress and claim the hearts of Mechiel and Scarlet joined in the escapade.
But amid the movement, the four disappeared. The forces searched for Mechiel, but their king told them that the four had to leave because they knew that their presence would cause conflicts.
The two princes of Ever Day agreed as they both feared that many men would try to woo Mechiel and Scarlet.
As the angered men shouted and demanded to know where Mechiel and Scarlet were, the team of Branze was already nearing the Miasma Mountain Region.
This was the same place where Kyros would meet Daradiel.
At that moment, Scarlet felt great unease, and she felt threatened. She turned to Mechiel.
Mechiel could feel it.
"...The Charmed Fallen. She\'s free!" Scarlet realized that Martha and Aron had succeeded.
But surprisingly, Mechiel was not happy.
"...? You\'re scared?"
"...Kyros had made preparations so the Charmed Fallen would not devour me. In the Unrecorded Pages, he used the Dryad\'s power to trick the Blood Calamity. The Blood Calamity is a daughter of the Charmed Fallen. She has faint traces of her power. I devoured her to develop my resistance. I gained the Charmed Fallen\'s power, allowing me to resist the remnant soul. But even then, it started affecting me. Now, it\'s a live soul, and I can\'t even fight the remnant urges... I can feel it. It\'s calling me. Her soul... is terrifying. It\'s weak... it won\'t be able to devour me, but... I probably will lose myself!"
"What will happen if you lose yourself?" Diana asked.
"I..."
"It will be mostly the same. She will still pursue Kyros or Nightwing. Currently, my son is the most eligible bachelor the universe has seen. Who else could fight Histerion, Oblivion, Destiny, and so many more and live to tell the tale? And your soul can never disappear. Because if the Charmed Fallen does that, Kyros will her and torture her soul. As much as possible, she will keep your soul alive and only influence it." Branze explained.
"How do I get stronger to resist this?" Mechiel asked Branze.
"You will need more Blessings or Corruption. The easiest will be if we have the Corruption of Pride. Like Gluttony and Lust, this Foul Fallen could help you in resisting as you would see yourself above Kyros. But for now, I think meeting a Greater God is our best bet."
"Daradiel..." Mechiel uttered the name of the god they were setting out to meet.
It wasn\'t only Mechiel that reacted.
Many gods and fallen trembled as they sensed the call of the Charmed.
"The Rose is alive...? What happened? What magic made me forget her?" Daradiel wondered. He could only sigh. He sensed great danger at her awakening.
"If she\'s alive... then this spells trouble for our side. As I recall, Xermolipi is aligned with Destiny. Oh, Fate... Do you have counter-plans for this?" Daradiel wondered.
"Xemolipi...?!" Impyernos was alarmed at what he sensed.
"She really is... in the Planesworld!"
On another planet beyond the galaxies where the Planseworld lived, in the depths of a massive planet that was made of mostly water...
"How?! How did she escape?!" A Heretic Water God awoke in anger. She was a dragon who had defeated and acquired the Code of the Ocean, the Heretic God who fell in love with the Fallen Hydron.
The entire planet rumbled as the Water God soared toward the Planesworld.
"... Sheolrah?" The Water God sensed.
"Is she behind this?!" The Water God flew with great rage.
Sheolrah sensed the awakening of the Charmed Fallen and frowned.
"The Charmed Fallen?! She\'s in the Planesworld?!" Sheolrah cursed. But then, she felt numerous powers approaching.
"Damn it!" She cursed and flew towards another energy.
"Heretic Water God Thalassa! Why do you bare your murderous intent to me?" Sheolrah shouted as she flew. She didn\'t fear a Heretic God and was enraged at her being marked for no reason.
"How many gods and fallen are hiding around this region?!" She cursed and flew to meet the angry Heretic God.
As the world reacted to her return, the Charmed Fallen was actually very, very weak. She was close to dying.
She saw the three before her and charged for possessing the strongest one.
But as she moved, she sensed the world grow angry.
Lea Olethros had awakened her true power and was integral to the Planesworld. All who were plants and flowers hated the Charmed Fallen for killing their Orchid Goddess.
The Charmed Fallen saw a massive God standing and watching over Lea.
"Oh? You\'re pitiful soul desires to take over her? Why don\'t you try? I couldn\'t kill you before because of your beauty, but such a weak form won\'t affect me."
"Dentro!" Xermolipi exclaimed.
"The Planesworld is an important Yggdrasil, little flower. Don\'t you dare... corrupt it!" The anger of the Planesworld resounded, and Xermolipi retreated.
Lea awakened from her trance.
"That power...! Do it again! Possess me! Quick!" Lea begged.
Xermolipi cursed and had no choice but to target the weaker woman.
Her soul shot towards Martha, and Martha didn\'t resist. As Xermolipi was about to enter her soul, she heard Martha mutter \'what an idiot\'.
Xermolipi\'s soul shot deep into the heart of Martha and found endless darkness.
Xermolipi was confused.
"What?! Was I sealed again?! I swear I entered the soul of the woman! Why am I back here in the darkness?!" She cursed.
"Hey." A terrifying and angry voice called out.
Xermolipi felt great fear, fear that she had never felt before.
"... Lord Kyriachos?!" Xermolipi exclaimed.
"Did you just... try to possess my descendant?" Kyriachos frowned.
"D-Descendant?!"
"A mere chick like you!? Did you think my power is so easy to allow itself to be tainted? Martha!" Kyriachos called out.
Martha\'s soul was suddenly brought to this place.
"Hmm? Oh. I\'m here again! Great Fallen guy, Lord Kyriachos! How\'s it going? I knew this would happen when she tried to possess me. My Foresight in Fate was telling me that it would all be alright. Thanks for gifting me your power. I really improved."
"Yeah. I could sense your power! Anyway, I am only able to call you since you are in such a dark place. I sense power coming from those Beings that Were. You guys have been busy."
"Yeah. Kyros fought against Histerion inside the Unrecorded Pages but eventually worked together to fight the Fallen, who is the aspect of forgetting. We call him Oblivion."
"Wow! Do you realize how many amazing things that sentence carries?! The Unrecorded Pages! And he actually fought and lived against Histerion and that Lan- Lan... whatever his name is. I keep forgetting if I say it. Anyway, that\'s amazing! Even I can\'t do that!"
Xermolipi trembled. Among the Greater Gods and Fallen, she did not fear any. But Beings that Are was at a different level! None of the Beings that HaveCome could fight any among the Beings that Are.
And what was even more terrifying was that Kyriachos was addressed in such a friendly and borderline disrespectful manner! And Kyriachos didn\'t get angry!
"Anyway, this flower is a bit troublesome to eat. But I think I can kill her and give you a very tiny amount of her power." Kyriachos offered.
Xermolipi trembled.
"Thanks, Greater Fallen guy. But... I think we should not do that. You see, this Fallen is very important. When Kyros was in the Unrecorded Pages, we already met the weakened soul of the Charmed Fallen. It\'s very complicated, but you see, while she is an ally of End, she apparently will be our ally."
"...I get it. In the Unrecorded Pages, a very tiny portion of the soul of Xermolipi remained and wasn\'t transferred. Her vanity to be remembered kept her there. But it made her angry."
"Yes. Before she possessed us, we actually broke open the seal to free her from Oblivion."
"And that\'s how you treat your savior? Possessing them?" Kyriachos glared at Xermolipi.
Xermolipi was crying. What kind of freaks did she meet?! The first one she tried to possess angered Dentro, but the second one was even more terrifying!
