Chapter 577: His Successor?
Kalistos Demonic Goddess Pov:
I was surprised that the plan proposed by Selene's son was so simple and naive, but incredibly feasible.
But this plan relies heavily on those who are at a very distant level of strength from it to work, that's why it's so naive.
He also knows that, so he didn't try to hide anything from me by showing everything he had that could be part of the negotiation, but the truth is that none of that matters to me.
I had known about that God Fragment for a long time, but it was still at a level that people would be able to handle without Divine intervention.
The souls in that place was something I really wanted to free, but it wasn't urgent and I knew that at some point someone would destroy that Cursed Dungeon, I even used that place as a test to find those worthy of my Blessing and they wouldn't misuse it power they get from my Blessing.
I thought a Hero, Champion, or maybe even one of those monstrous talents that are born from time to time would do that, I didn't expect someone like the Son of Selene to do it by accident or should tell the Priestess of Selene.
But it gave me a great opportunity to see him more closely, since he received my Blessing I noticed something strange, dealing with him allowed me to get a closer look at his Soul.
But while I was doing that I was surprised once again with what I found, besides its origins, I also noticed that someone altered his Soul little by little, I'm sure other Gods wouldn't be able to notice that, but I realized as soon as I looked at his Alma, it appears these changes were to change your spiritual and physical appearance.
"(Must have been Selene to hide him.)" (I)
I also noticed some injuries on his Soul, all completely recovered, I realized that he doesn't even have 1 year to live, it made me confused by the experiences he went through that even many people at the top of this world might not have this kind of injuries in their Souls, it looks like someone healed his Soul since he's still alive.
I became interested in him, but unfortunately, the Chaos within him is not compatible with the things I seek, therefore he is not suited to be a Hero, Priest, let alone a Champion for me.
I looked into his mind to see about this plan he had, in the midst of this I came across a very interesting idea in his head, it made me think that with some help I could get what I'd been looking for for so long.
After he was sent away from my God Realm, my sister appeared sitting on the armrest of my throne.
"The two are very different." (Mavis)
"Yes, this Zenos is more chaotic and unpredictable than the old one." (I)
"Not about their personalities, I'm talking about their ways of doing things." (Mavis)
"I suppose you're right, but I'm surprised you remember him, you've died twice since then." (I)
"You know I keep the memories of my previous consciousnesses, at least most of it, but the rest wasn't hard to understand after talking to the other Gods." (Mavis)
"Have you been talking to Selene again?" (I)
"It was 65077 years ago, I was trying to convince her to get her daughter away from the Demon Lord before her fight destroyed one of the great continents." (Mavis)
"Her daughters are so much like him when he was young before she became a Goddess..." (I)
"Are you sure it's him? Maybe it just has the same name." (Mavis)
"I know it's not him, his Soul was extinguished due to his own choices, Selene and I just helped a Soul to be born from the remaining essence, it was the only thing we could do to contain the chaotic will that spread." (I)
"After such a long time I didn't expect him to come back, his Soul is very strange due to the way it came to exist, but it has completely absorbed Chaos, something I didn't expect to be possible." (I)
"He doesn't sacrifice anything." (Mavis)
"He is a Successor of the will, not of the methods, he might even be considered a decent one." (I)
"Why did Selene bring him here?" (Mavis)
"I don't know if it was she who did it or if she would have done it a long time ago, at the time we didn't even expect this soul to resist two reincarnations, we just wanted the Will of Chaos to be able to disperse using the main reincarnation circle." (I)
He's here must have come as a surprise to Selene, but scratching the name Tabu on him was a mistake if you wanted to hide him, his appearance may be different but others may discover his origins one day.
"Is she preparing for the future?" (I)
"Perhaps you too have been making your preparations like the others." (Mavis)
"I see, a bit of chaos might be needed so this just makes my offer even better, I hope he manages to complete what I asked for." (I)
I think about the job I'll have in the future, and all I can do is hope it's not as bad as it was then.
"Have you already sent one of your servants?" (I)
"Yes, it will be there in a few hours, a Divine Beast that was born a few decades ago, I like this Zenos, what he did helping a whole place to regain its vitality is something I appreciate." (Mavis)
"I think I can send one of my Reapers, he'll take care of it with the help of some High Priest." (I)
"Forgot to send a Priest..." (Mavis)
"I'll take care of it for you, I was expecting that to happen." (I)
My sister is more cheerful than I am, she has fun with new races coming into being and old races resurfacing, I'm sure that's why she likes this Zenos.
"(I hope you make different choices, Zenos.)" (I)

Pov Zenos:
I wake up suddenly in the middle of the night, I get up and go outside, then I go to the top of the tower where I have a view of a good part of the city and the fog that covers almost everything, I can see some sparkles inside of fog coming from several different points.
"Looks like the city isn't clean of the undead yet." (I)
I look up, but unfortunately all there are dark clouds, I can't see the sky of this damn ruined city.
"The deal was easier than I expected, the Goddess agreed more easily than I expected, I thought she would refuse and was already planning on how to convince the Elves." (I)
"Your only requirement is already underway, I'm glad my curiosity made me think of this other plan, I didn't expect this Demon Goddess to be interested, this must have been one of the few lucky times I've been lucky in this world." (I)
