Will of chaos

Chapter 1068 Cap 1066: Dragon *****

"(What do you need boy?)" (God Akatosh)

As soon as I heard his voice, I noticed a fluctuation in the space around me, then I realized that the Communal Temple was empty, even the other statues of the various Gods were gone, leaving only the Dragon God statue behind.

I've experienced something like this before, it feels like the Dragon God pulled me into a Space he created, I look at my hand trying to figure out if I was brought here physically or just my Soul like the time before.

"(Don't waste your time or my boy, both your body and Soul are in the same places, I just brought your consciousness into this mind space to talk to you.)" (God Akatosh)

"(Say what is so important for you to use your Authority on my reflection, this is something very offensive to any God, but I will forgive just this once considering a youthful mistake.)" (God Akatosh)

He speaks to me as if I were a child, but for a God whose age may be older than this world as far as I know, everyone on this continent must offer mere children.

I tried to find him somewhere, but his voice was only in my mind, so I kept looking at the statue as I didn't know where to look as I spoke.

"I want to know what happens to Karina, my Dragon Priestess, if possible." (I)

"(I just responded to my Priestess's willing call, she wished to go further in her Devotion and told her how to do it.)" (God Akatosh)

"Your body is acting weird, it..." (I)

"(I know how her body is, but it was her choice, I warned her of the risks and even so she moved forward without hesitation, her strength is admirable.)" (God Akatosh)

The Dragon God speaks as if he is proud of Karina's act, I also cannot blame him for the state he is in since he did this of his own free will.

"Is there anything I can do to help her?" (I)

"(No, she must surpass her limits by herself, hence I sealed even my Blessing that is in her body, just temporarily.)" (God Akatosh)

"(If she goes through this ordeal she will achieve what she desired, she will become a Holy Dragon.)" (God Akatosh)

I could already imagine that Karina wanted to become a Saint, but I don't know if she wants to be my Saint like Alice or follow in Vanessa's footsteps by becoming a Saint of a True God.

But I have never heard the term "Saint Dragon" before today, I also feel that the meaning might be different from what I think from the teasing tone in the Dragon God's voice.

"What is this Holy Dragon?" (I)

"(Ask the eldest of your sisters, I have an idiot to fight... hahahahahahaha...)" (God Akatosh)

--------------

Before I knew it a hand touched my shoulder and when I turned around I saw Alice behind me smiling, then I noticed that there were many other people walking through the main hall and stopping at certain statues to pray, I myself was still standing in front of the statue of God Dragon.

"How long did I stay..." (I)

"Only a few seconds, no one noticed but me." (Alice)

"..." (I)

"(A few seconds? For me it was minutes...)" (I)

"Can you call my Sister Elizabeth for me, please?" (I)

"As you wish..." (Alice)

Space opens up next to Alice as my sister steps out of what appears to have been a teleportation portal, Elizabeth was drenched in water and naked but that didn't last long as blood covered her body before solidifying into a leather suit red and steam come out of your body dispensing with the use of towels.

"I think you better have a good reason to disturb my shower." (Elizabeth)

She didn't look too happy when her eyes locked on me with the aim of a cannon ready to fire.

-------------

Elizabeth and I were back at the mansion, we were in the room where Karina was still in the same state as when I left.

On the way here I explained things to Elizabeth who seemed to understand everything, in fact, she even anticipated some of my answers showing that she knows what's going on, but her reaction to the term "Holy Dragon" was a little strange.

Elizabeth appeared to be unsurprised when she saw Karina's state, but her expression didn't give away much of what she was thinking.

"What do you think?" (I)

"I have no idea, getting out of this is entirely up to her, I knew she had done something, I just didn't expect it to be so extreme." (Elizabeth)

"What do you mean by extreme?" (I)

"You two can come over." (Elizabeth)

"I knew you would notice, I told you so." (Natasha)

"Shut up, it was your idea, I didn't even want to come here, that's not my problem." (Caitlyn)

"Caitlyn show them what I'm going to pass on to you." (Elizabeth)

Elizabeth closes her eyes for a second before opening them again, then Caitlyn just shakes her head and snaps her fingers making everything around us change, everything around us is darkness until a female silhouette appears.

"Before you need to understand something, Akatosh's Religion is a little different from other religions, that's why Dragons don't look at Akatosh as God, they look at him as Patriarch and perfect Symbol of what a Dragon should be." (Elizabeth)

"Dragons are selfish by nature, but they are the most united race that exists, but they are also obsessed with their pursuit of strength, the definition of that strength changes greatly for each of them." (Natasha)

"Normal Priests are faithful to the Dragon God, I'm sure Karina was once like that, at this point, they might be from different races." (Elizabeth)

Elizabeth points to the female silhouette in front of us that changes between different races then stops at the Dragonewt race.

"For a Priest to achieve ascension to High Priest he or she needs to bond with a compatible True Dragon." (Elizabeth)

"I know about that, Karina had a hard time finding a True Dragon like that, that's why she came to me in the first place." (I)

"But this compatibility is not limited to the Elemental affinities little brother, the second compatibility that she must not have counted is the definition of strength, which for both of them must be the Will as well as the Dragon God." (Elizabeth)

"When you become a High Priest you begin to change, your connection to a True Dragon causes you to inherit many of its physical traits." (Elizabeth)

"They are basically getting married to put it briefly." (Caitlyn)

I already knew all of this, I've been through these things myself and discovered some of these things from Karina's mouth.

"In other words, all High Priests become Dragonewt or True Dragons from the start." (Elizabeth)

"But a Holy Dragon is different, there are no Saints in the Akatosh Religion because his High Priests do not represent only him, but also his binding Dragon, which in Karina's case would be you." (Elizabeth)

"A Holy Dragon only arises when a True Dragon becomes a Deity, which for True Dragons means becoming an Elder Dragon or the Dragon Emperor himself." (Elizabeth)

Does that mean Arash is a Deity, does that make him a Demigod like my sisters were before they were reborn with my help?

"A Saint Dragon is one who utilizes the Authority and power of their binding Dragon to become a full-fledged True Dragon, this would be a process similar to death and rebirth where they can only rely on their own willpower." (Elizabeth)

Dragonewt's silhouette transforms into a Dragon.

"A Holy Dragon becomes the living Symbol of the Dragon it is bonded to by sharing the same race, Holy power, as well as its Authority and Aura characteristics." (Elizabeth)

"But that if you survive, a Dragon Saint will not only be your Dragon Symbol of bonding but also receive in your body the power of God Akatosh if you survive, that's like being the Saint of 2 Deities." (Natasha)

"..." (I)

The Dragon in the sky had two Crests behind it, those were my Crest and also the Crest of the Dragon God I saw on the statue earlier.

Just hearing the power that a Saint of two Gods would have seems inconceivable to me, I haven't seen a Saint in full power yet, but it must be inferior to a Hero I imagine.

The space around us starts to crack and shatter like shattered glass, so we're back in the room where Karina is still in the same predicament.

After listening to the explanation and remembering the Dragon God's words, its that I can't help Karina like I did Nix or Layla, I can't even touch her and any interference from me could do more harm than help, so I pledge to stay out of it.

"(You must survive...)" (I)

"How many Holy Dragons are there?" (I)

"None, from the beginning of time until today only 2 existed, today one of them became a Lesser God and the second was killed." (Elizabeth)

"Just being able to do something like that takes absolute zeal, something not everyone is able to have, not to mention having a strong will to resist two different powers in their body, the survival rate is very low in total." (Elizabeth)

"It doesn't mean anything, everyone is different, and chances change a lot from one person to another, so forget about it and do something useful while you wait, like a new bed for me..." (Caitlyn)

My sisters started talking, but I just kept looking at Karina trying to believe that she would make it, but I didn't know what could happen and I couldn't help but think of something to help her if necessary.
