Will of chaos-Chapter 1782: Cap 1780: New Orders!
Pov Selene:
"Let me get this straight..." (me)
"You want me to become an Ascendant?" (me)
"I need someone I can trust by my side to talk to, more than one if possible, you're the only one available here." (Zenos)
"I won't abandon my Divinity, you should know that, so what are you planning?" (me)
"You can create a clone and seal your body as blood inside it." (Zenos)
"If I can do it using the power of blood, then you can do it a thousand times better." (Zenos)
"Just make this clone an Ascendant, plant a Law inside as if you were using Essence to create a Divine Weapon." (Zenos)
"That's... possible."
(me)
Using the power of the Law along with a soulless body to forge an Ascendant Weapon following the means of creating a Divine Weapon, that's crazy, but it seems possible and even easy to accomplish.
"I'll need a blood-related Ascendant Law, I'll also need the fresh body of an Ascendant." (me)
"I already have everything ready, one of the dead Ascendants had the Law of Slaughter as its main one and had two other Laws that he was refining to advance to Level 2 or at least take the first step." (Zenos)
"Among them is the Law of Blood and the Law of the Sword."
(Zenos)
"That seems possible, I won't even need your power to accelerate, I can just create a shell and turn my true body into blood, it would be like a mirror of my body, of course that leads to other problems..." (me)
I'm not sure if I understand the Ascendant Laws, but it should be correct to assume that I need a Soul, this could still be a bad situation, unless I do it differently.
"I could also create a purely Ascendant Bloodline, it would be easier to control and I could connect the Law with the bloodline, that way I could maintain my Divinity without problems and use my body." (me)
"Is that possible? What will I need?" (Zenos)
"Only what I already asked for, and also something to help me wield the power of the Law." (me)
As a Goddess, I have no illusions of being able to wield a power so opposite to Divinity, I need something to control my Law for fighting or other situations, it will even serve for my safety.
"I can make something similar to this ring, it won't be the same, but it should work." (Zenos)
"I apologize for interrupting, but we have a problem!" (Wendel)
"See this message." (Wendel)
[ You have received a new mission.
An Anomalous Creature has invaded our territory and must be found, the creature is recognized as Humanoid and has features of beastmen from the Bear tribe, there is a strong chance that it is a creature receiving orders from an Entity due to the fluctuations of the Law during its sighting. ]
"A new mission, but how did they already send a new mission!?" (me)
"That's not the only problem, is it?" (Zenos)
"No, the creature they portray is possibly an Avatar and being so direct in their approach, then there is only one possible Entity among the enemies of the Ascendants."
(Wendel)
"The Entity of Nature... that would explain its way of acting, it seems to be a trap, it is attracting the Ascendants and they know it." (Wendel)
"What does that mean?" (me)
"They must want something, there must be more people participating in this mission or it could be one thing... it could be something else..." (Wendel)
"A hoax..." (Wendel)
Wendel suddenly seemed to have thought of something and his eyes became frightened, as if by reflex he ran his fingers over a silver ring with golden wings engraved on it, a beautiful and simple ring, but I felt the sacred power of that ring, it was extremely tenuous, even so there was no way to escape my Goddess senses.

Pov Samara:
I was next to Hinata as we entered a bar, my form was that of a White Elf woman with some scars on her body with the arms of a man twice my size around my body, this man was Hinata who might seem to be not paying attention to the surroundings, when in fact he was opening his eyes all over his body in blind spots from everyone's view.
"Please hide your teeth." (me)
"Sorry..." (Hinata)
"Speak in a deeper voice." (me)
As we passed everyone, I warned Hinata of the things she should pay attention to, and as we did so we entered a hidden room where a bunch of tentacles squeezed into humanoid clothes, its head looked just like a large octopus.
"What do I owe the great Fallen Saint being in my presence to?"
(Traveling Merchant)
"Stop with the excuses, you shouldn't be here, the Eternal Merchant holds the trade partnership with the Ascendants." (me)
"Ohh... I didn't know that the envoy of Hell would know so much about us." (Traveling Merchant)
"I sensed you from the moment I arrived, a customer will always know where to find you, won't they?" (me)
"Tell me, how can you be here!?" (me)
"Since you asked, I can answer for a price, would you be interested?" (Traveling Merchant)
"He looks... tasty...." (Hinata)
Hinata at some point got close to him, escaping even my senses, a duplicate of her body appeared behind the Traveling Merchant, her large body opens like the Infernal Roses, her flesh opens into petals full of teeth that try to wrap around a possible victim, but she chose the wrong target.
The merchant doesn't even move from his spot, he takes out something that looks like a sphere and throws it into Hinata's jaws, who closes her jaws as the copy next to me disappears.
"Yummy..." (Hinata)
"Meeting such a distinguished individual is my happiness, but I will ask you not to cause any confusion during negotiations." (Traveling Merchant)
"This little 'sweet' was something forged by Necromancers, consider it a gift for meeting each other." (Traveling Merchant)
"You already knew I was coming, you've been here for me from the beginning and not for the Ascendants" (me)
"A merchant like me should know how to promote his business, especially to old customers like you." (Traveling Merchant)

He didn't come here empty-handed, if he did so much to get my attention, then he has something I'll want to buy.
Merchants always have something irresistible for those who meet them, leaving without buying anything is an insult to them as well as something that hurts their pride.
"First tell me how much you're paying for the item you're selling." (me)
"I want a Dragon Seal from you." (Traveling Merchant)
"A reasonable price, what's the item you're selling?" (me)
"Information." (Traveling Merchant)
"Will it be useful?" (me)
He smiles at me without answering directly, but I know it will be useful, they are manipulators by default, yet they never lie.
"Very well, I agree." (me)
"It's not your deal I need, but the one who controls you." (Traveling Merchant)
"He was your target, you just used me to get to him, the information was something you used just to bridge the gap, wasn't it?"
(me)
He smiles once more, he doesn't answer, but his actions are a tacit response to my question.

Pov Zenos:
I enter the room with Selene behind me, her wings were a pair of red wings as well as her hair and eyes, her Aura filled with the power of the Law.
I found Wendel, Ernani and Barerosa waiting for me as soon as I entered, but Barerosa's eyes were not on me but on my mother behind me, fortunately her face and body are different, she is in a childish form even younger than my own appearance, as if she were a child around 7 or 8 years old.
Her behavior and bearing are still mature as well as her eyes full of life experience speaking volumes of her age, all of this causes a certain incongruity with her current appearance.
"My lord, who would that be behind you?" (Barerosa)
"This is Morgana, she is a recent Ascendant, I was interested in the process and did it with her who was my assistant in my time away."
(me)
"I'm not very familiar with the Ascendant customs, but regardless of all that, I serve only Lord Bond." (Morgana)
"(At least stop laughing like you're telling a joke, can't you at least act?)" (me)
My mother is trying, but she's clearly terrible at acting, something I didn't expect. I trusted her too much because she's someone so old, but I forgot that age doesn't translate into being good or not at something.
"Morgana will serve as my assistant, in the hierarchy she's below the 3 of you, but she will serve only me, being by my side at all times." (me)
"As you wish!" (Wendel/Ernani)
"..." (Barerosa)
"We have new orders, this time Wendel will go on the mission and it will be just us in this room, we will also take Boris with us for his unique support talents for this mission."
(me)
"I already informed him before coming here, he doesn't know everything, but I needed him to make the preparations while we're in the meeting." (me)
"Sir, will we be leaving today?" (Ernani)
"We'll be leaving as soon as the meeting is over." (Wendel)
"Wendel was the first one who received the mission and passed it on directly to me." (me)
"(She's reacting more than I thought.)" (me)
Barerosa was more silent than usual, her gaze becoming cold as she focused on my mother, she clearly has some issues, but that's good, I can use this to make her fall more into those feelings and cling to me more.
