Chapter 1035: Finding Mother Again
Pov Yara (High Priestess of Life):
I was sitting in the town square, this is the place that has received the most renovations in this city, there was once a statue, a fountain, a tree, a garden and a lot of other things, but now it's a mixture of all of these.
It has a beautiful big tree in the center with benches around it and lake gardens behind the benches along with waterways a little in front of the benches that run through the gardens into small pools in the middle of the gardens.
"This place is very nice, don't you think?" (I)
"Yes, but how can you act so carefree when this is happening!?" (Lorraine)
I look in the direction Lorraine pointed, that's where the Communal Temple Zenos is using to evolve is.
Since a few hours ago it was emanating waves of Aura and Authority in all directions, as if that wasn't shocking enough, it also started sending waves of Holy Power in all directions.
Since all this energy comes from Zenos, it's all being absorbed by the Dungeon with ease as it spreads throughout the Dungeon.
I noticed that most of those energies are being sucked into two spots where two of Zenos's Familiars should be, but that wasn't surprising.
What was absurd was the image in the sky now, it wasn't the sky of this Dungeon, it was an image created mainly above the Communal Temple of a starry sky with a big Creature in the middle of the stars, it wasn't very visible, but its presence was monumental.
"Zenos is going far..." (I)
"His Territory has already surpassed the level of an Area Territory, it's already at the beginning levels of a Border Territory, not to mention that in the middle of the stars." (Lorraine)
"What did you expect from the Evolution of a Child of the Blood Goddess?" (I)
pd-| "I still remember that Natasha girl evolving from her Territory while in the middle of a War, it was really hard to keep her alive when her body was being ripped to pieces every few seconds." (I)
"Be glad he isn't making a massacre like Caitlyn did, poor girl, I was called to try to help those unlucky enough to survive the terrifying Territory she created in the midst of Evolution itself..." (I)
As one gets older, memories come back to mind at the strangest of times, Zenos is doing something outrageous, but at least he conforms to his ever outrageous family.
"You know he's too young, how is he creating... wait, the Dungeon!?" (Lorraine)
"Exactly, that's a huge Advantage that only a Dungeon Master has, the Dungeon itself is a shortcut to mastering the use of Authority and Territory." (I)
This whole place belongs to him, technically speaking we are out of the world, this whole place belongs to Zenos, he can mix his Aura with the surroundings without resistance and he doesn't need to take control of an area to set up a Territory, this whole place is his to begin with, so he can move faster than others with it.
"The only thing I'm surprised about is the Ascension he's going through, I didn't expect him to wake up so quickly." (I)
"He's not the only one, I can feel his sisters outside the city, their power levels are rising more and more, I also feel many entering Evolution right now as we speak." (Lorraine)
"Zenos does a lot of Awakening Ceremonies, he has his advantages when it comes to increasing potential, but the disadvantages are being limited by their master." (I)
"Look..." (Lorraine)
"..." (I)
I look up at the sky again, an eclipse has formed between the stars and the Star Covered Area has increased.
It looks like Zenos is steadily entering the Border Territory level.

Pov Zenos:
I don't know what was happening, I felt my whole body burning for an indeterminate amount of time, everything around me was darkness and endless stars.
But at some point my eyes open and I stand up stretching my hand, it took me a few seconds to notice that I was still in the Communal Temple, I looked around and there was no one else around.
I looked around realizing something else, the statues were gone, the statues of the various Gods had disappeared and only the statue of Goddess Selene was still in its place.
"Something is wrong..." (I)
I try to look at my hand and it's the same as before, even my scales are the same and I can still feel something burning inside me, but that feeling seems far away.
"The pool of blood... isn't there either..." (I)
I looked to a place a little further away, it was where the pool of my blood was with the 5 girls still waiting to wake up there.
I get up and walk over to the Goddess statue, I could feel that many things weren't right.
"Thank you for having me once again, Goddess..." (I)
"You should listen to your sisters and call me Mom." (Goddess Selene)
"What gave me away? Was it the other statues? Was it the pool? Maybe it was the lack of your companions around you?" (Goddess Selene)
"All those things, but mostly the fact that in all my evolutions I've run into you and it hasn't happened yet." (I)
The Goddess statue gains color and moves as she returns to normal to sit on the altar where the statue was enshrined.
"Why try to trick me like that?" (I)
"Your mother likes to mess people up."
When I looked back there was a boy eating a meat skewer, he was dressed in simple leather clothes and looked to be around 15 years old by appearance.
His glossy black hair shows a level of care an ordinary person wouldn't, and his golden eyes are piercing as if he's facing the teeth of a colossal beast.
"I just wanted to put him in a comfortable place, I thought a picture of the Temple he built for us would be a good place." (Goddess Selene)
"Now just say what you have to say, don't try to keep your other appointment waiting, Akatosh." (Goddess Selene)
"That wretched kid can call me as many times as he wants, it won't help, what he did that day pisses me off to this day!" (Akatosh)
"That's why you sent her? You want to make him die?" (Goddess Selene)
"Don't make me dream, we both know she won't interfere." (Akatosh)
"..." (I)
I didn't understand what was going on, but it felt like I was in the presence of two Gods who are talking about something I don't understand, but I still don't know why I'm here or why they're here with me.
