Chapter 348 - Beyond Reality
The only way Zatiel could bring the purple plane out of his Rebirth Eye and into his brain was by transforming it into the chaos purple energy that made it. If the dimension were physical, it would have been the end for it, but since it was an illusion, reconstructing it was possible.
Zatiel took half of the chaos purple energy and extended it to his brain. The Neo-Demon could not divide it since that would harm the dimension.
The process was beyond painful, and if it weren't for his True Will helping him, Zatiel would have fallen unconscious.
It took him five days of immense agony until he transferred half of the chaos purple energy.
One half was now inside the Rebirth Eye and the other in the center of his brain, both connected by a trail of chaos purple energy.
Once that part was over, Zatiel began the reconstruction of the purple plane.
Previously, the right eye held the plane in its entirety, but now it had two cores. The chaos purple energy began to condense, and Zatiel felt how the purple plane was starting to reappear.
The process was slow, but after five days, Zatiel could access once again the illusion dimension with that raging purple energy.
There were no changes in the Rebirth Eye. However, the moment the dimension stabilized, an evolutionary change happened in Zatiel's brain. An explosion of a unique form of Mind Force originated from the Neo-Demon and covered the entire Garden of Creation.
Heinz, Zitra, Totto, Tyrus, and others who had regressed to Rank 3 were training in the garden. Without any warning, they saw the world around them change and entered a purple plane.
The group was shocked and immediately put on high alert. The first thought that came to their mind was that a powerful entity had teleported them to a different world.
"There is no need to worry. I have seen this place before. It is an illusion plane of my brother." Luckily, Heinz was able to recognize this plane after a moment and calm down the others.
The group looked at Heinz with confusion, and they began to explore the plane. Broken buildings were around them, and there was the purple energy in the air that clouded their sight.
"Is this truly an illusion?." Zitra was the one that asked that question, but it was in the mind of everybody else.
They could felt the air entering their lungs, the earth beneath their feet, and they could even attract energy to their bodies and increase their energy pool.
Everything felt so real that they were more inclined to believe that someone teleported them to a different place.
Ten minutes after the group appeared on the plane, Zatiel manifested himself in the sky.
"Sorry about that. I succeeded in an experiment and accidentally released a soul invasion spell to the entire garden." The group looked with amazement at the Neo-Demon, as this one waved his hand and sent everybody, but Zitra, back to reality.
The woman was confused, but when she saw Zatiel approaching her with lust in his eyes, her heart began to beat faster.
The Neo-Demon was in an excellent mood, and he wanted to be with his new lover.
"Time in this place runs much faster than in reality. We can have a lot of fun."
....
Zitra opened her eyes ten minutes after the rest of the group, and they were glowing with bliss.
She spent several days experimenting with the pleasure of the flesh for the first time.
The next moment, coldness returned to her eyes, and she stared at Heinz and Totto. She heard the duo giggling when she just woke up.
Zitra sneered when she saw them looking away and returned to her training. Her expression was calm, but from time to time, a smile appeared on her face.
.....
Zatiel opened his eyes in the Soul Throne, and excitement could be seen in his face as he felt his new Mind Force and how it could feed his Rebirth Eye.
"My new Mind Force did not improve my striking power, but now the illusions and soul invasion spells are harder to detect and can last longer." The power of the spells fired by the Rebirth Eye was already very high, so Zatiel did not feel disappointed it did not increase.
"A.I. Chip, show me my current stats." Zatiel wanted to see how much he improved after two years of secluded training and advancing to Rank 4 Animus.
"Bip... Analyzing host.
Paths of Power: Animus (Rank 4)/ True Soul (Rank 4- Second Origin Cycle)/ True Will (Low Star Breaker)/ True Doomsday Body (First Heaven)
Strength: 5.0-->5.7
Physique: 7.4-->7.6
Speed: 5.9-->6.2
Elemental Chaos: 2.7-->3.8
Rebirth Force: 2.6-->3.7
Soul Origin: 1.5-->3.2
Astral Origin: 1.4-->3.0
Mind Force: 0.3-->1.7
Note: Host's Mind Force is of a higher level than those of high ranking Mind Rulers. It can compare in quality with the one generated by the entity known as Sage."
Zatiel was delighted with the information given by the chip. Although his advance may not seem that high for two years of secluded training, even geniuses spent decades in Rank 4 since the increase of Soul Origin and the True Soul training takes time.
Reaching the Second Origin Cycle in less than three years after reaching Rank 4 was impressive.
"My True Doomsday Body has finished consuming the Star Consciousness of my first star, and I can seal another star in my body, but it is better if I wait. My second heaven still has room for improvement, and I am in no hurry. I should add some spells to my repertory before I leave."
Zatiel's most potent ability was his Rebirth Nightmare. Nevertheless, this soul invasion spell generates tremendous pressure over his Rebirth Eye. He needs to trap the target's consciousness in the purple dimension, and Zatiel cannot use it repeatedly in the same battle.
Before, there was no need for the Neo-Demon to know more spells that could take advantage of his Rebirth Eye's abilities because he did not have more energy left after using Rebirth Nightmare, but things were different now, thanks to his Mind Force.
The list of illusion and soul invasion spells in Zatiel's mind was endless. He discarded all the techniques that needed laws he did not train and those whose use was limited to a Rank.
After an hour, he decided on three spells named Soul Eradicator, Heart Seal, and Beyond Reality.
Soul Eradicator attacked the enemy's soul, destroying it if he was weak and stunning it if he could resist. The attack was instantaneous, regardless of the distance. Zatiel only needed to have the target in his line of sight.
Heart Seal planted a mark in the target's soul, allowing Zatiel to control his action and thoughts. Unfortunately, it was challenging to implant it in a target with similar strength to yours.
Beyond Reality was a technique Zatiel stole from a powerful enemy. That person reached the peak of the universe and relied on this spell at the begining of his path. It controls the five senses to the point where it can make the target misinterpret another person's form, shape, mass, feel, and smell to be an enemy's.
Zatiel could make an adversary believe they were targeting him when they were really sending their attacks to an ally.
Beyond Reality was an incredibly complex spell, and if it weren't for his Rebirth Eye, Zatiel would not even think of training it. This technique also needed the Neo-Demon to form a connection with the target for it to work.
The creator designed it to work with a kiss, but the Neo-Demon had another plan in mind.
Zatiel spent six months more training until he reached the first level in the three spells.
With everything ready, he went to the World Gate and left the Neo-Demon Realm.
