51 - Order cores and Chaos Fragments.

Syrin opened her eyes to the voices around her. A lot of crumbling and arguments from various voices sounded close to her ear as she stirred.

At first there was confusion, then slowly awareness as memories returned to her. With a gasp she shot up.landomg on her feet and turning in.a won't circle seeking the fragments that had proven dangerous to her.

Yet she only.foimd seven Azkolves looking at her with worry and a bit of amusement.

"It's okay. It's over for now. All father crested a safe zone of sorts for the areas we already conquered."Ausal was the one to speak rising from the floor to join the other already standing Azkolves.

Syrian could only stare for a while before nodding at the information and then looking around. For the first time she noted her environment and couldn't help but gasp out.

The we're all standing on a wide slab of rock, the very one that Dumdriel had formed when battling the first Major fragment. The slab though was still present floating in space and supporting all the resting Azkolves.

But it wasn't the slab that had elicited a gasp from her. No. It was the wall of gold and white that shimmered right in from of them. It was like a swirling wall of lights. A wall that when she looked up and to the sides could not spot its edges.

" What it this?" she mumbled.

"Anti-life 4th wall. Or in other words what saved us" Beleza murmured. The annoyance on his once calm face was obvious. Though it held nothing to that of Tepes and Tarin. All had one thought, without the wall activating they would have been dead.

Everyone there felt rather disgruntled as to how they'd been thrashed once their divinity had been used up.

"We need to get better." Dumdriel was tbe first to speak.

"Facts." Juju shrugged while Tepes scoffed.but said nothing.

"Well how then?" Beleza asked.

Everyone was silent. The same thought was obviously in their heads getting their father Erizo to aid them but get the felt like he was too busy for something so trivial.

"Rather than making assumptions in our heads. We can always ask directly. I know we are all thinking the same thing after all". Dumdriel looked around slowly. Syrian nodded turning as she brought up her system interface. The familiar data popped up in her vision.

[DIVINITY POINTS - 90/90]

" At least we have enough divinity now to handle those Major fragments if the return."she mumbled.

"About that " Ausal spoke then once she was sure she had Syrins gaze she pointed straight to the distance. Though the anti-life 4th wall glowed and shone she realized that in a way she could still see beyond it.

Narrowing her eyes she looked harder only to gaso as she noted what lay beyond. The fragments had never completely left. In fact they were actively attacking the wall. At first Syrin felt her heart beat wondering how long the wall would last. But even before she could react she notes something strange.

The fragments that slammed into the wall never got bounced off intact they were let in? No. They wall took them but never let them in the wall constantly flared up with each fragment or took in which was why it looked like it was glowing and shining. There were thousands of fragments slamming into it trying to get past and tbe wall was....

"What is it doing exactly?".

" Processing".

The new voice didn't just make Syrin alone jump. The entire group of Azkolves leaped up then went down onto a knee heads bowed as the faced the voice owner.

"All father".

" Aissh. Act normal around me folks." Erizos admonished before he looked to the wall. Not sparing a second glance at the Azkolves after accessing their conditions he floated to the wall.

'Works well it seems. Thought there would be defects since it's a first time trial thing. ' he thought.

'Wonder how the other thing is going though.' he reasoned before turning to the Azkolves about to talk when his eye caught something.

"What is that?" he murmured while looking at an orb, or orbs. The second was hard to note as it was as black as night. Both, one white the other dark revolved around the other like yin and yang.

[ORDER CORE]

A core processed from the being of a major fragment.

[CHAOS FRAGMENT]

A fragment processed from an anti-life being.

[BALANCED STATE]

Like yin and yang order and chaos are always constricting the other. There can't be one without the other.

"Well that's insightful. But what do I use this for?". He asked boredly looking at the orbs.

[IF THE GODS HEARD YOUR TONES YOU'D BE ZAPPED FOR YOUR NONCHALANCE]

[AS FOR WHAT THEY ARE USED FOR.THEY CAN BE EXPOSED TO JUST THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF DIVINITY TO FORM HELPERS]

Erizo was honestly growing bored and was already beginning to think of the next phase of creations to make especially since he had the draft for various works and just needed to set things up.

Yet his boredom faded once he heard the term helpers.

" You mean like creation helpers or maintenance bots or.."

.[I MEAN ANGELS. YOU CAN MAKE ANGELS WITH THE ORDER CORES.]

Erizo froze again for just what could have been a minute, he really needed to get a watch or something.

'Angels.'

A lot of things crossed my mind at tbe moment. Increasing my region of influence within my own multiverse. Creating all this angels to aid the Azkolves in battle. Even more importantly was other ideas.

"What else can be done with the order cores?"

[If you are asking if the order cores are useful for upgrades?. Then yes. But not to you but your Azkolves. ]

"So I can either use it to increase their divinity or use it to make angels."

"I feel like it's not enough. ".

[Thafs because you are forgetting something obvious ]

Erizo scrunched his face in confusion. What was he supposed to remember now? Wasn't tbe voice telling him everything. He felt like manifesting it to strangle.

[Really. I can't believe we were this dumb. ]

"Uh uh. Not were, are. We're in this together."

[In battles and death maybe. In stupidity. I'll kindly pass]

A grumble left him as he narrowed his eyes then soothing he asked."So what is it I'm too know?".

[Order creates good. What creates bad?]

Erizo tilted his head wondering what about the question mattered to him exactly. Then it clicked.

"Chaos fragments."

[True. If you need help with this war you can always make the angels and demons fight for you.]

"Wait aremt the demons evil."

[They are. Chaos makes them seek destruction. But even they will fight to survive after all they are life. An anti-life stands against all things with life. Plus they'll have an ingrained loyalty to you so yeah...]

[Geez your mind is a mess. Sometimes I wonder if you act stupid or are truly stupid.]

Erizo wasn't when bothered to listen to his inner voice's yaps as he was already making ideas in his head. Finally he looked up and scanning his surroundings spoke low.

"Move all cores and fragments within my space to me. "

Another thing about the Anti-life 4th wall was just it's protection but also how basically everything within it was rendered Erizo's. He'd literally turned all things into his property by just creating the 4th wall.

This was why it wasn't a surprise to him or even the Azkolves who thought he could do anything when various thin and faint strands of divinity floated through the darkness of space and gathered to him at a speed that while he could observe was astonishing to the Azkolves.

[62 ORDER CORES]

[62 CHAOS FRAGMENTS]

"Store fifty of each for now". he ordered.

His inventory popped open the glittering balls dropping into them till only twelve of each were left. Raising his head to the Azkolves he floated down to them the orbs following. Floating around him like tiny specks of light and darkness.
