NOVEL NEXT Chapter 222: Order
Silva transformed back to human after taking the fall. His dragon size and the force of the fall left a huge crater in the ground.
Silva stood at the center of the crater. He looked up and saw the queen figures flying above him. They fired their light beams at him without a second thought.
Silva used flash step to get away, running at top speed, while his mind began thinking about what to do.
Only one solution came to mind, and that was Ophelia. He had to find a way to contact her. Then he realized, she was a goddess.
Goddesses should be able to hear the prayers of their people, so Silva just had to pray, and it should get to her.
But there had to be thousands of prayers lined up for her. How would she know it was him and check it first?
The time he needed her to be watching him, she wasn't watching. Silva was getting filled with rage as he ran. He felt like turning around and fighting.
But that was a stupid idea, a very stupid one. This was the first time that Silva didn't know what to do. But as he thought about it more, he decided there was something he could try.
He took out a blade and cut himself to draw blood, and as the blood poured, he activated the spell, Hell's Gate.
The gate opened and began pulling all the white figures into it, and to Silva's shock, they didn't resist and allowed themselves to be pulled in.
Silva wanted to feel like he had won, but then the gate broke open, and they came right out. After coming out, they doubled in number, making it ten that were facing him.
"Shit, this is not good," Silva said and tried to run away, but the white figures seemed to be faster now. They circled him and were about to finish him off.
But suddenly, a bright light shone from the sky in their center and encompassed them all. At the center of this light was Ophelia herself.
"I am calling for an overrule of this verdict on account of wrong order enforcement," she said, and immediately, the figures stopped moving.
"What? How did you do that?" Silva asked in shock.
"That is not important now. What I have just done now is the same as challenging the law of Order, and now we must defend ourselves before Order or be erased from existence," Ophelia said.
The ten figures flew in front of Silva and Ophelia in a straight line, side by side, and all at once they started talking.
"YOU HAVE CLAIMED THAT WRONG ORDER HAS BEEN CARRIED OUT. PRESENT YOUR PROOF BEFORE ORDER." Their voices boomed together and created a creepy feel.
Silva felt a heavy pressure from the voice alone; it was like a mountain on his shoulder.
Ophelia turned and looked at Silva. "What we are about to do now is very risky, Silva. I have taken this risk to ensure that you didn't die.
Everything you say or do will be used by Order. If there is one thing that is known, it is that Order hates to lose, because every time it loses, it just makes some changes to the rules," Ophelia said.
"So how will we know if we have won? Can't it just choose to lie?" Silva asked.
"No, Order can't lie, nor can it cheat. If it does that, it risks the entire universe wiping away," Ophelia said.
"YOU CAN NOW PROVE YOURSELVES," Order said.
Ophelia stepped up and started talking. "Order, it's an unfair enforcement because Silva was caught in it, and he wasn't part of what disrupted the Order. Find your adventure at M-V-L
It was the weeping angels that did it, the followers of Ragna. He has been chasing Silva, trying to kill Silva all this while," Ophelia said.
She had finally said the name of the being that was chasing Silva, Ragna. Silva's ears tuned in very much because it seemed he would learn a lot of things from this case.
And if he survived, then he would be able to do certain things to avoid his terrible future.
"RAGNA IS A PRIMAL, A BEING ABOVE EVEN YOU GODS. HE POSSESSES THE RIGHT TO KILL A PUNY BEING AS HE PLEASES," Order said.
"Indeed, Ragna has that right, but what about his weeping angels? They aren't allowed to break Order. And the sins of the servant shall be reflected on the master.
Weeping angels are not allowed to move under the eyes of a living being. The only exception is inside special areas.
But right here, they moved to save themselves, and Silva was watching them. So that means they went against Order.
Which I believe is the reason you came here. So why is Silva being punished and attacked?" Ophelia asked.
"SILVA IS THE CAUSE, EVEN IF HE IS NOT DIRECTLY LINKED TO WHAT HAPPENED. IF HE HAD NOT DRAWN THE IRE OF A PRIMAL, HE WOULD NOT BE IN THIS SITUATION.
AND THE ANGELS WOULD NOT HAVE BROKEN ORDER. SILVA HAS PROVEN TO BE MORE TROUBLE THAN HE IS WORTH, ANGERING BEINGS ABOVE HIM.
AND YOU PROTECT HIM. DO YOU NOT REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED EONS AGO? THE BEING YOU SO PROTECTED, AND HOW HE ALMOST KILLED ORDER AND UNRAVELED THE UNIVERSE?
YET THIS SILVA SEEMS WORSE THAN EVEN THE FIRST. HIS EVERY ACTION GOES SO CLOSE TO BREAKING ORDER."
Silva heard everything that was going on, and he finally summoned some courage to speak.
"Yo, hello, uhm, Order. You see, I don't know what your beef with me is, but you are a hypocrite," Silva said, shocking Ophelia.
"HYPOCRITE? PLEASE EXPLAIN."
"Well, when I was thrown into my homeworld without my permission, you came after me, saying I was the one that broke Order.
You wanted to kill me, but it wasn't my fault. Someone threw me there, and you, being Order, I'm sure that you know about it.
Yet you will say that it was within Order, but you wanted to kill me for a crime that I was thrown into."
