After a few moments of bickering, Zypher's mind started to cool-off.
"Summon."
He then summoned the two, so he can speak while they also talk.
"So, why did you speak to me?"
Zypher asked.
The All-Father, although an eye, tried to look at the surroundings, and suddenly, created a magic circle.
{Dome.}
[Silence.]
The two eyes created a dome for them to talk, and for anyone not to hear anything.
Upon doing this, the two "sighed" at the same time before going to Zypher.
"What is this? What happened?"
{This is a Silence Dome, and it can block the sounds we say to the outside and we are protected from the outside.}
"Protected?"
Zypher said.
Suddenly, a mighty presence dawned upon the place.
A man, with golden hair, and an eyepatch is scouring the place.
Zypher, being blinded, was not seeing anything, but the All-Father's eye is closed.
He felt it because he can feel that it became so quiet.
"Open."
He heard, but nothing happened even if he waited for a long time, trying and trying.
"I can't make him open. I lost all of my connection to him. Let's go."
The man said before suddenly vanishing. Silence permeated the air, as Zypher decided to also not say anything at all.
A few minutes had passed when the All-Father spoke again.
{Did you record it?}
[Affirmative.]
Upon hearing this, All-Father then looked to Zypher.
{That's what the protection is all about.}
Zypher, who was speechless this whole time, did not understand.
Upon seeing the confusion, All-Father started to explain.
{Everyone, has a pair of eyes, because that's how the Heavenly One created the world.
But then, there were people who wanted to become like Him, trying to brainwash everyone into not believing him.
The gods, as they call themselves, were once humans, that garnered faith from others, and created their own factions.
Yet, the ones who believe in the Heavenly One started to disappear one by one, leading the other gods to gain reputation, power and more faith.
Those gods then created their own epics, legends and myths, that made them heroes, gods, demons and dragons amongst men.
This made them rule this world.
And we are the effects of those gods.}
Upon listening, Zypher caught up some things, and decided to ask.
"So, you mean that you and him are one?"
{Yes and no.}
Zypher, hearing this, created a magic circle.
Upon doing so, he put it in between him, Unknown One and All-Father.
"I hereby declare that everything said from this point on shall be the truth."
{Boy, are you crazy? Are you invoking the power of them who we are trying to hide from?}
Zypher decided to make a lie ban, that will make all the information he can get to be reliable, safe, credible and the truth.
"Will you sign, or not?"
Seeing this, All-Father was gonna ask one more time, but a purple black with green chains suddenly appeared.
{You made a contract? To which god?}
"I didn't."
{Then why?}
Zypher held the chain as one link fell off. A link that has a purple, green and black chains, and it entered one of the chain links of his own black chain.
[Black Chain Compunded - Absolute Weakling <-> Absolute Comand.]
"I just know that my brother won't betray me."
{Dumbass!}
Suddenly, All-Father created a magic circle that went into the circle Zypher did, and so did Unknown One.
{[We promise!]}
Suddenly, a line can be seen that connected the three.
"So, care to tell me now?"
As Zypher did, his seriousness created a wall of pressure, but a small pressure only.
{Sigh. Here goes.
I am one of his eyes.
He, who had many eyes, for he stole every other god's eyes, and used them for himself.
He is once a human with one eye as his other eye was lost in some kind of battle.
Then, his other eye awakened, and I am the accumulation of all the eyes he had stolen.
He raised me, but I know I am not his, but a bundle of other people's powers and abilities.}
Upon hearing this, Zypher fell silent.
He knows that his summons are too different, but he didn't know that he is declaring a war on the so called "gods" because of keeping them.
"It doesn't answer the question of me asking you why did you come and talk."
[Answer. We want to have a new contract with you.]
This time, Unknown One answered.
He sounded like a child, but it feels like he is a grown man with all the knowledge he has.
"New contract?"
[Agreed. We heard your voice in your head earlier, and we found out who you are.]
"And? What's the point? I am in a vegetative state right now."
[Solution. We are going to be growing with you.]
"Growing?"
{Yes. It is simple. We can share your burdens with us, and you can play the game.}
"You mean, you can take these chains off?"
{Nope, not yet at least. But we can do something with the 1.8 APH.}
"And the is?"
[Answer. Make new contracts with us.]
Upon hearing this, Zypher is still not convinced, even if he did an oath with them earlier.
"Are you sure with that?"
Upon asking, Zypher's excitement can't be hidden, but his doubt is also there.
{You can trust us.}
[Statement. We can help you.]
Zypher, upon hearing this, smiled as he remembered something.
"Your help is too little if it's just sharing the burden."
{What? What else do you--}
"With me taking you under my wing, you will be restrained right?"
{So? What genius ide--oh my god!}
[Affirmative. A genius he is.]
Zypher smiled at the revelation he thought about.
Yes, their help is much needed now, as he wants to play the game and move forward, but there are no free lunches in the world.
If they can suppress his debuffs, then they are suppressed too, and their energies will be so tiny to be observed.
"It is to also hide from them, right?"
