《Ascension of the Nephilim 》Chapter 228: War to Love
Advertisement
Mechiel's appearance was startling to Kyros. He was stunned that she had appeared and even so, as a part of Martha's team.
The moment he saw her, a lot of thoughts began to race in his head. He knew that Fate would lead her to him and even expected to see Mechiel in a way that he wouldn't expect. But seeing her still made him so frozen and shocked that he forgot all about his father's love song and his parts and special gestures.
"Ground Control to Nephilim Kyros." Calaminus called out again.
Kyros was finally called out of his trance.
"Boy, you really like her, huh." Calaminus teased.
"Hrm. This is problematic. I can't believe I zoned out. The Blood Calamity must be in her somehow. My greatest worries have proven true."
"What are you talking about?" Calaminus asked in confusion.
"Was my reaction logical?" Kyros asked.
"Logical? You mean, how you blanked out? She IS the one you love! She's the one who became your obsession when she died and risked it all to save you. Aren't you happy to have met her now? You won't go into the process of looking for her now."
"I never was. I knew that Fate would lead her to me one way or the other. But when I saw her, I felt being drawn out of my body. The power of Charm was maximized in her. When the Blood Calamity used it, despite her great beauty the many Divinities in me, like the power of Darkness allowed me to resist her. But now that she is in Mechiel's body, its drawing out my emotions!" Kyros shook his head..
"So that's why you got lost even when the song began."
"Right. I have to be careful. That power is too strong. She could kill me."
"Then what are you going to do?"
"Fight fire with fire, I guess."
"What do you mean? You plan to Charm her?"
"A portion of the Blood Calamity's soul is in the body of a weak dhampir. Fate knows that I like her and may be prodding for her to like me. I mean, think about it. Mechiel was one of the reason how I never lost myself into madness as a child. And even though we fought several times when we got older, she was always one of the things I hoped to meet in life. Especially after that time where we were forced to help each other through the Lowland Bog. Looking back, that's probably when she realized that I was the boy she served. She became rather kind to me."

"Yeah. That was very romantic... Two sworn enemies, forced to help each other for survival in a strange land full of poisonous monstrous sons of heretics. You even saw her naked at that time. All that was missing was a blistering cold weather which you guys were forced to hug and share body heat."
"She's a vampire. She doesn't get cold. And what do you mean sons of heretics? You mean those monsters there are descendants of heretic gods and fallen?! Ugh. Never mind. We'll talk about that later. The point is, Fate will work to make Mechiel fall in love with me or like me one way or the other. And there is something strange about that Charm ability that the Blood Calamity used. It's as if the Blood Calamity's soul is attached to Mechiel. If the Blood Calamity used her charm powers, it would never be this strong. But right now, it was as if Mechiel used it."
"Right. Now that you mentioned it, there is a difference in the aura from when she used it on you back in that Temple. This one is more innocent."
Mechiel gave an unconscious glance at Kyros.
Kyros had already removed his stunned glance and gave a casual glance at Mechiel.
But the power of Charm affected Kyros once more.
"Kyros? Wow. It's really strong." Calaminus realized it.
[Calaminus used Tackle!]
SMACK!
It was as if a light slap was performed on Kyros and jolted Kyros back to control.
"Damn it! It's really affecting me!" Kyros cursed.
"That's it! Two can play that game!" Kyros slowly walked forward and turned to Diana and Branze.
Diana was still trembling but she was being embraced by Branze. She kept hammering Branze with her clenched fist.
"Why didn't you tell me?!" She cried.
"I... I'm a coward." Branze apologized.
"You sure are! I can't believe I hated you! And... what's with the song?!" Diana asked.
"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today, to witness the marriage of these two souls. Torn apart by Destiny, as their standings were heaven and earth. But Fate brought them together here. And while the irony of being married to someone you have loved long ago remains, the truth has finally freed them. Diana. You once took this vow, but your heart wasn't in it. And that is why, though you were legally married to my son, I refused to make you state a vow to love him but only give honor to your family. I ask you now. Will you take this man, as your husband?" Mezal began.

Diana nodded as she was in tears. She had been slowly falling for Branze. But she was always keeping those emotions in check and withholding it. But now that the reason why she restrained her emotions disappeared and this was the man she waited, she could not help but fall helplessly in the drunken emotion of love.
All who were Fate Challengers could feel it in the air.
Fate was rejoicing.
"What's up with Fate?" Kyros frowned.
"I don't know. Theres something in this wedding that is causing a ripple." Calaminus noticed it too.
Even Martha was amazed as she felt her heart shaking.
"Puff. You should have felt it too."
"Yes, Master Martha. I'm curious as well. Something about this marriage feels majestic. As if... the whole universe was waiting for this moment."
In a strange realm, the mighty god Hyperion Steel opened his eyes and looked through the void.
"Daughter-in-law. Fate has fulfilled her promise. It took a while... But it finally happened. The forces that demands to rend you and my son asunder has been stopped. Live well with the Nephilim and Arise." Hyperion Steel smiled.
"I, Hyperion Steele, departed and done, calls on my final decree. I severed the world, and now I will bind these two. Courage and the Cursed can now be one. Kyriachos! Form of the Gap, I call on you!"
In the Seperated Realm where Kyriachos waited he finally heard the call.
"Hm? The Courage and the Cursed are getting married?!" Kyriachos was shocked.
But as Kyriachos felt more of Hyperion's call, he realized it.
"The Nephilim! Of course! The will of Curse will seek out the Nephilim! It's the perfect time for Curse's descendant to be born! She is using the shield of the Nephilim to take in all the curses and attacks of Destiny! Alright, Hyperion. I promised to help you after all. But your stupid son better take good care of my daughter!" Kyriachos couldn't help but start to cry.
"Daughter! I am sorry that you were born as the source of pain, as the source of despair. But thankfully, He Who Has Come in Bravery fought for you. He waged that war to love you! Katara Kyriachos. I separate your name from my own name! I bind you to Gannaios Steel!"
In the other world, Hyperion sensed it and smiled.
"Hmp! You're an insolent and hateful man... But you're a damn good father-in-law to my son!" Hyperion raised his hand and swiped down.
True Cut occurred.
Sheolrah watched in the great heavens above the Planes World and kept the barrier that covered all of the Planesworld.
She kept her eyes closed and waited and waited for any signs of the Celestial Code to appear.
Suddenly, she felt it.
"Ancient God Hyperion?! H-how! No! No! Why?!"
SLASH!
The massive slash sliced through the barrier and demolished the barrier that was all over the Planes World.
The Cut that Hyperion Steel sent out wasn't a physical cut, but a force that sliced through the strongest Codes that made up the entire universe. The power of Curse itself was the target. And naturally, the power of Sheolrah which interfered with the will of other gods and forced Greater God Daradiel into isolation was also attacked.
"ARGHHHH!" Shoelrah felt the attack rage through her soul.
The barrier that she created was cut off.
In the crater of a dead volcano, in a very dense jungle...
A handsome, young man sat down and sighed.
He glanced to the heavens and was worried of the various changes that was happening.
It was then that Greater God Daradiel sensed the power from the heavens.
"Hyperion Steel's Code!"
He felt the strange slashing power that broke all laws and made a powerful cut on the barrier of Sheolrah.
"Chance!" Daradiel knew that this was the chance of a lifetime.
He sent a message out and it echoed throughout the heavens.
"The message has been sent! I hope it reaches them on time. I can die, but the Celestial Code must not fall in their hands!"
Back in the Airom mountain, Kyros felt a power resound as Diana spoke her vow and how Branze followed. It was strange. There was an indescribable happiness surging all around them.
But then, Kyros saw a notification that horrified him.

Success and Fate Limit Breached!
Fate Intervening...

"FRAGMENT! THIS AGAIN?!" Kyros shouted.

Asturian Warbringer - A LitRPG on Earth
Currently releasing 5 chapters a week Luke Kells liked only one thing about himself: his green eyes. He hated getting bullied, hated being poor, hated being an orphan, hated his weakness, hated the government, hated his life. If someone had given him a button to push and kill everyone but him and his granddad, he would've done it without a second thought. Then, one day, after fainting during a beating, he woke up with memories that would change his life. Magic, martial arts, how to craft special artifacts; he knew it all. Anyone would’ve taken that path to glory at once. However, he had to deal with a lot on his plate first. To even begin walking that path, Luke first had to deal with his own psychological issues. Almost two years of brutal bullying that was akin to torture and no support from the school staff of the police had left him with a broken soul. Before even realizing he could be rich or powerful, he had to bring himself out of the mental hellhole he found himself in. Oh, and his memories also told him the Sentinel Tower would change reality in six months to protect the planet from the Demonic Horde. But that wasn’t as important as not making the local bully angry, right? A story about personal growth, overcoming obstacles, and reaching absolute glory at the end of the path. This is a slow-paced, character-centered story. If you want something faster paced, filled with almost immediate and nonstopping action, check out my other novel: Modern Awakening - A cultivation, LitRPG, apocalyptic novel.

Home of Laplace
I opened my eyes to an unfamiliar mountain peak standing tall above me like seeing a skyscraper from the street. Soon the chilling burn of the snow that covered me began to invade my senses and I flung my torso upward, sitting up straight. I grabbed my head in confusion as my eyes surveyed the area around me: The corner of a mountain wall stood menacingly in front of me accompanied by thin, dangerous looking paths on either side. The likes of which only adrenaline-seeking psychopaths would use. I turned my head backwards and felt my heart drop as what looked like an infinitely long freefall met my gaze. I was sitting on the ledge of a snow-covered mountain. "CRKKKK" A heart-shaking croaking sounded from above me further up the mountain and I jolted backwards at the impossibly loud sound. 'Shit, wasn't there nothing behind me?' The sound of cracking stone accompanied the heart dropping sensation of descension. As I plunged down backwards, the last thing I saw was the deep-set brown eyes of that blue-skinned monstrosity further up the mountain. ----------------------------------------------------- Levi Laplace is a former genius biochemistry student that died a simple and laughable death on earth.
