Perfect Avatar-Chapter 263: Game Of Pawns

Marie’s lips were fighting, she was probably in the weirdest place in the world, surrounded by 2 people with whom she was very friendly, but one of them had gone from witch to diva while the other had multiplied. She felt like she was about to lose consciousness and placed a hand on her face.

"What the hell... What’s going on here?"

Sigma scratched his head, glancing at his comrades.

"It’s a very long and complicated story."

Gamma moaned loudly and twirled a chess piece in the air.

"It’s not that complicated. Did you know about Personas? That’s us when we don’t share the same body."

"...What? Personas?... You mean...All of you..."

This answer made her more troubled, as she only knew 3 Personas and Candace’s information described Alpha and Omega as a fusion of Personas, Sigma coughed.

"Well, it’s complicated if you don’t have the color code. Let’s move on to the introduction. I’m Sigma, the one with the funny magic. This guy with red hair inside who plays with his only friend is Gamma, the guy who taught you magic."

"Gamma? He’s Gamma?! And you’re Sigma?"

"Yeah, orange is Sigma, the blue one who reads a book and acts like our father is Alpha. And so, if Alpha is the father, by elimination, without any intention of insulting, the one who has the same strength as Alpha and the purple hair is Omega and his role should be..."

"Call me a mother and we won’t need the other one to turn you into a mindless puppet," Omega spoke calmly.

Sigma rolled his eyes and leaned towards Marie.

"With that power of deterrence... How could you not call him that? Oh, and I suppose you already know Zurui? Same as usual but also very different... But not where it matters."

Zury curled in on herself, looking to the side. Marie looked at each of them, with a huge effort to accept this absurd situation, but even then she noticed something strange.

"...If you’re all Personas, where’s Beta?"

This time they all stopped their activities, even Omega who was doing nothing glanced at her.

A visible worry weighed on their faces, visible enough to be noticed by Marie.

"What is going on? Is there a problem with Beta?"

Sigma nodded to Alpha who sighed and put his book down.

"Beta is... Alive. A lot of things, but right now I can only say that he is alive... It will be complicated to explain, so maybe it would be better to tell you everything from the beginning."

"Everything he chooses to show us." Omega groaned.

Gamma invited Marie to sit in front of him and as she did, Alpha began to tell the whole story.

"A lot happened after you left for Kalaharis with the others. Pure chaos in fact. Moonra was killed by rioters, and after that, my mother and Wendy died in an explosion."

A cold wind passed through Marie’s spine, in one sentence, her mind became a mess.

"After that, something happened and another Dora appeared. We don’t know who we really are, we have memories of the past, but we don’t feel like the person who experienced them. We are neither the Sin nor the being from the Rift, but we have obtained information on something we need..."

"Are we allowed to tell her this part?" frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

Omega sat down in turn, Alpha looked at him briefly and then observed Marie carefully.

"It’s okay, she might be the second person to never betray us, and we’re already two steps ahead in our plan."

Marie was more confused, but she knew now was not the time for emotions, so she nodded and forced herself to listen carefully.

"We are on a mission to awaken someone graved in our souls as the True Dora. We only have scraps of information, from the thing in the Rift, but all these pieces of information have led us to understand that there is an all-powerful being in this world who could save our world if we could summon him. We know that this person would have complete control over reality itself, and with him, the dreams we have all given up on. would realize, literally. We could do raids like before, or just live together in peace."

He crossed his arms, his last words seemed to hit Marie even harder.

She looked at the other Personas and everyone seemed very calm, Gamma even encouraged her to listen with a nod.

"But there is a catch, to achieve the true body, we must obtain something from each Sin Avatar. It’s a great sacrifice, and surely very inhumane for a simple mind, but if everyone could understand what we could achieve if we succeeded if you could ignore the horror of reality and look at the beauty of a true utopia... You would all support us... Not that the opposite would stop us anyway, but whatever, it’s just a parenthesis."

He walked towards her.

"The fact is that with this new awakening, we have gained the power to split our soul and now the Personas may be outside, but despite our bodies, we are still puppets in the hands of a mastermind. The one who controls is very different from us, like the Sin who had different world views than the Personas His way of acting may be too dangerous and extreme. He can control our minds, so if he wants, we will all become puppets and murder everyone without hesitation."

He stopped in front of Marie but also looked behind him at Zury.

"We care about you, but if he wants, everything will be erased instantly. We may not share the same ideal, but we have a common goal with him, you won’t like the process, so for now, I suggest you behave."

Marie lowered her head, everything was now clear, but that didn’t mean it was better.

All the other Personas returned to their activity, Zury watching through the windows.

"...I...I understand. But why did you kidnap me?"

"To turn you into something we’ll need in the future. I can’t tell you why."

"...And what you need with the Sins...Is it to kill them?"

"I’ll tell you later, depending on how well you behave. Marie, our minds are connected, he is also here."

Marie’s back rested on the back of her chair, she was exhausted by all these revelations, but a noise caught her attention.

Gamma placed a pawn in front of her.

On the chessboard, there were two opponents, black and white.

While the black pawns were dispatched, only 8 whites remained, but all with a strange configuration.

The black king in the back, with 3 white queens on the left, two white pawns in front on the right, and one just at the corner, about to reach the right of the king.

"If you must defeat a formidable enemy, you need to learn to be a forgettable pawn, only then will you have a chance of reaching the king’s throat... However."

On the other side of the board, the black Queen was face to face with the white King.

"A true pawn follows the enemy’s will, so whether it’s time to strike or build is no longer a factor you can control, but something you have to guess."

Marie was watching the game carefully, but then a noise caught everyone’s attention.

Outside, a new landscape was taking shape, Zury looked up, Sigma and Omega looked to the side, and Alpha watched the change in the window.

"It’s time. Everyone, welcome to Fenrir."
