Whatever the world, some things were in all dimensions. Such as love, hate, or friendship, in fact, many other feelings as well. However, friendship was the most unusual, for sometimes there seemed to be far more traitors than true friends.
Among the ordinary people who could not reach even the First Chronicle, there were probably more sincere people who were good friends and lovers, however, at the higher levels this did not happen.
Each Chronicle was not just a measure of energy and power, it was also the ultimate power.
In order to reach the next Chronicle, people could betray their faithful mates or even friends with whom they had gone all the way from the beginning.
Finding two true friends among Fifth Chronicle creatures who had known each other for a very long time was rather problematic. However, if they were members of the same race, it couldn't be called very rare, but what about different races?
Many became temporary allies for some mission or mates, but it couldn't be called friendship.
But, at the highest level, namely the Transcendence Stage, these rules changed slightly.
Polosa, as the Progenitor of the Plants, had no friends, for friends must be equal, at least in relation to each other. Polosa was the queen, she had to rule and the others had to obey her, that's how the system worked.
Polosa was not the only example. The heads of powerful organizations, clans, and guilds were all in a similar position. They stood above the others, this did not make them bad people as they could be excellent leaders, but they could hardly be friends with their subordinates.
However, what happened if the creature that reached the very top was not the head of something?
Most Progenitors were the rulers of their worlds because it was logical and it was their duty, but some were not going to follow the general rules. Obviously the most unusual of the Progenitors was Alucard, his powers were as unique as he himself.
He did what he wanted and no one could stop him, after all, he was immortal. What's more, he enjoyed his life even though he lived a very long time and to some extent, this was because he had a friend with whom he could share all his feelings.
"The Immortal and the Invincible...?" Marlis muttered as she gave Sven a puzzled look.
Sven nodded, "You don't know this, but Alucard and Gael contacted me some time ago. It was after we started our plan. Perhaps they spotted me when I was fighting Birit in the open. I didn't expect that, but you know... Their instincts are on some entirely different level."
"Alucard and Gael...?" Osvald's eyes went wide as he raised his eyebrows, "Those two decided to participate in the war?
Sven nodded, "Yeah, however, as always they have their own goals. The Nameless King is fighting for his race, our rulers want to take control of the whole world to achieve something that is very secret, because even we don't know about it yet."
Sven sighed, "Dragons like most other races and their representatives, will not participate in the war for many reasons... Dragons don't care, and those who are not strong enough are too afraid to die and don't believe in their abilities. They don't realize they can make a difference."
"In that case... What are Alucard and Gael's goals...?" Marlis asked with a worried expression. She was well aware that Alucard and Gael were strong enough to affect the course of the war significantly. Each of them was stronger than an entire army of the Fifth Chronicle warriors.
Sven smiled bitterly, "Don't worry, they are technically on our side. Since Nameless King has always impressed them as a person. I mean, in some ways these three are similar, even with us they have something in common. However, their goals are different from others."
Sven stopped, took a deep breath, and said, "It may be strange, to us for sure, but these two are looking for fun. If the world is under the control of the Arox, it will become too boring for them. My attitude is similar, but unlike them, I don't act like a child."
Marlis and Osvald smiled. In fact, the reason wasn't important, the most important thing was that some of the strongest, even among the Progenitors, were now their allies. It was a big step toward victory.
"However, they will not fight against Olax and Arox directly." Sven said seriously in a deep voice.
"What...?" Marlis was puzzled, "Didn't you just say they are our allies?"
Sven nodded, "That's right. I don't think they're tricking us, but Alucard told me that the Arkans should be dealt with by Nameless King. He said that should be the most important event in this war and he doesn't want to be the main star, but a spectator who will see the greatest fight either side can win."
Marlis said nothing, she didn't understand this logic, she and Alucard thought very differently.
"Anyway, they're doing something very important right now. Since even we couldn't take care of it." Sven said calmly as he continued pacing forward, gradually approaching the gate.
"Hmm?" Marlis looked at him.I think you should take a look at
"They are talking to the other Progenitors. They don't want the Progenitors involved in the war, obviously, not everyone agrees with that, so... I think they may have had conflicts with some, but this is fine. No one in this world can handle these two without disaster for themselves." Sven's face got more serious.
He was one of the strongest fighters in all worlds, even most Dragons feared and respected him. However, Alucard and Gael were the ones he would not want to fight in mortal combat. Because their titles alone said it shouldn't be done, not by anyone.
Wain, who listened to all of this, was truly surprised.
He knew that Alucard and Gael were not his enemies, they had known each other for a long time and had even been allies five hundred years before. After all, Alucard had killed several dozen Fifth Chronicle Arkans during the war, which saved the lives of many Humans.
"Damn... How much was going on on the other side... Even considering how much information I had, I didn't know about it. Sven was actually excellent at hiding his actions." Wain muttered with a dazed expression.
Sven, Marlis, and Osvald were heading for the gate; it would not be long before they would return to their world, then the final stage of memories would begin: The First Great War.
Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.
Suddenly, space trembled. However, Marlis, Sven, and Osvald did not react at all, unlike Wain, whose head began to split.
"What the hell...?" Wain growled, holding his head, the pain was tolerable but quite intense.
"Did something happen to the energy channels? It was fine before!"
Whooooooooooooooooooosh.
There was a bright white flash, as Wain's consciousness drifted off somewhere, as if an invisible force had pulled him from his memories.
Then, he opened his eyes and realized he was in Sven's bar, everything was as it should be. However, the memories ended too soon. Sven, Marlis, and Osvald, opened their eyes after him with frowning faces. They didn't understand what had happened either.
The white energy currents were still binding their heads, so the skill had not been cancelled. They could return to their memories at any time, but they weren't going to do it right now.
Sven turned sideways with a slight frown on his face, then so did Marlis, Osvald, and Wain.
"What the hell...?" Wain muttered in disbelief, "Are we sure we left the memories?"
"Well... I wish I could answer 'yes' to your question, but unfortunately, we're in reality and it looks like it's time to take a little break." Sven shook his head.
Osvald and Marlis said nothing as their eyes went wide with genuine surprise.
Next to them stood two tall silhouettes, one with long white hair and the other with short hair. The first silhouette wore an aristocratic red coat, while the second's body was covered with a spacious white mantle.
"Well, well, looks like we got here just in time. However, we always know how to find the moment!" Alucard smiled broadly, revealing his blade-sharp fangs.
"Yeah. Honestly, I'm a little embarrassed." Gael nodded with a slight smirk, "I offered to warn you about our visit, but you never listen to me."
"Hahaha! Because you knew I was right! If I'd done what you said, we definitely wouldn't have made it!" Alucard laughed, shaking the whole bar with his laughter.
Wain, Sven, Marlis, and Osvald were puzzled and didn't know what to say.
Alucard and Gael suddenly appeared at the bar and immediately started acting like this was their home.
Alucard always acted this way, he could be intimidating at the same time and also act like a teenager, even though he was older than 99.99% of the inhabitants of this world.
"Agh... Okay, what about us joining you?" Alucard smirked, looking at Wain and Sven.
