Chapter 403 - Beyond Prima Omega Art
Zatiel sat in front of the Underworld Forge, breathing the Enlightenment Mist as he worked in an Animax Soul Rune. The complexity and forces in the rune were so extraordinary that they awoke Hades' interest.
The ancient Being of Laws could see with ease every runic line and the form of the runes. However, he could not decipher the rune's power or the laws it emulated.
A fluctuation in space occurred, and the next second, Ezequiel appeared a few meters away from Zatiel.
The Supreme Neo-Demon noticed the Neo-Demons' Ancestor's focus and did not disturb him.
"Teacher." Ezequiel nodded to Hades before closing his eyes and beginning to decipher the phenomena inside his bloodline.
The Supreme Neo-Demon did not like wasting time, and since his cultivation advanced on its own, he focused on enhancing his law comprehension.
The ancient Being of Laws nodded back to Ezequiel, and a peculiar light appeared in his eyes as he focused on the two men in front of him.
'These two are monsters, and one day they will rise above the Prima Universe's laws. Once they form their Omega Laws, recovering my plane with their help will be easy, and I may achieve my ultimate goal.' Hades did not doubt that Zatiel and Ezequiel will become supreme powerhouse's level existences.
'Brother, soon I will return home, and this time I will not be alone.' A flash of pure and monstrous killing intent appeared for a second in Hades' eyes, but it faded immediately, and he once again focused on Zatiel's rune.
Zatiel's hands were moving faster and faster. His eyes began to bleed as he pushed his cognitive abilities beyond their limits with his Mind Force.
When he reached the final part of the rune, Zatiel activated Shooting Star End, and he inscribed the last runic lines with a speed so high that they became invisible to the naked eye.
The moment Zatiel finished the Animax Soul Rune, for an instant, Ezequiel and Hades felt a force beyond the Prima Universe's laws.
Ezequiel opened his eyes, and they shone with wonder when he felt the indestructibility force and lightning power in the Animax Soul Rune.
The Supreme Neo-Demon Law of Lightning reached the Late-Initial level, but the rune's power seemed to be not of a higher level but superior nature!
While Ezequiel showed confusion, Hades immediately understood the power that the rune carried, and even he could not hide his amazement.
Zatiel analyzed the Animax Soul Rune, and after making sure it was perfect, he threw it to Ezequiel's head. He did it while having Shooting Star End active, so the rune flew at an incredible speed.
Ezequiel's eyes widened, and in less than a millisecond, the rune was already in front of him.
Even a Peak Rank 5 life form would find it hard to catch something so fast, but the Supreme Neo-Demon had a Lightning Constitution that allowed his body to react as quickly as his mind and the Law of Lightning.
Arcs of lighting covered Ezequiel's right arm, and he managed to catch the rune just before it touched his skin.
Zatiel smiled when he saw the Supreme Neo-Demon's reflexes and speed.
"Combining the Extreme Speed ability of the Law of Lightning with the Lightning Constitution paid off. Although your speed is still inferior to a Rank 5 Shooting Star Bloodline, you are at least able to react to it."
Ezequiel bowed to Zatiel after this one spoke to him before focusing on the rune.
"What are the laws in this rune?" Ezequiel felt different kinds of forces in the rune, but they all acted as a single entity, which baffled him.
"There is only one law in that rune, but it is not one created by the Prima Universe. The core will teach you about it once you reach Peak Rank 5, but I guess it is time for you to learn what an Omega Law is."
Ezequiel smiled once he heard that. He had access to all the Neo-Demon race information, which contained countless Path Techniques, historical records, and secrets of the universe.
However, there is not a single mention of Omega Laws in it. That information was like the Three Severings. Only those whose cultivation reached a high enough level could learn it.
"Most people are oblivious to Omega Laws' true nature even after reaching Rank 7, and that can be fatal. Make sure to engrave every word in your mind." Hades said nothing else before closing his eyes and focusing once again on his recovery.
Ezequiel's interest only grew when he heard the way Hades' spoke about them.
Zatiel took a moment to calm the pain he felt in his mind before adopting a solemn expression.
"We, life forms from the Prima Universe, awake our True Souls at Rank 4, and the Universe Will grant us a path that we can use to stand equal to the laws and achieve immortality.
The True Soul's Path of Power focuses on developing our law comprehension, which will allow us to harness more and more Soul Origin.
However, once an individual reaches Rank 7, he can no longer depend on the path given by the Universe Will to become stronger. Your comprehension of the Prima Universe' Laws can not get higher because, at that level, there is nothing else to comprehend.
To surpass Rank 7, go beyond the limit stated by the Universe Will and stand above the Prima Universe's laws, one must fuse his laws and every aspect of his existence into a cosmic force that can remain eternal.
That cosmic force is an Omega Law. Once you create one, even if someone annihilates your body and soul, they will be unable to erase your existence as long as your creation remains living.
There are many Omega Laws in the Prima Universe, and some have owners while others don't. Most of the ownerless ones come from a previous Epoch and are already part of the matrix that forms our universe.
Some say Law Bloodlines are Omega Laws made flesh, but even I can not say for sure whether that is true or not.
You have already come in contact with three Omega Laws."
Ezequiel saw that Zatiel remained silent and knew what he was waiting for. The Supreme Neo-Demon went through the significant events in his memories as he searched for those cosmic forces.
"One was the power that allows us Neo-Demons to undergo the Three Severings."
Zatiel nodded and waited patiently for the Supreme Neo-Demon to continue.
"The dot of light that Ivar left in my soul dimension is another." Ezequiel could figure out those two very fast since the power they display was beyond his understanding, but finding the third proved to be challenging.
He did not lose focus, and after a few minutes, his eyes narrowed.
"The third is the force that allowed Sophia to undergo Nirvanic Rebirth," Ezequiel remembered the wonder he felt the moment he first saw the white egg and perceived the power that allowed its creation.
Zatiel's smile grew wider when he witnessed Ezequiel's extraordinary perception.
"That is right. Nirvanic Rebirth is an Omega Law of a previous Epoch. Whether this cosmic force is connected to the Phoenix Bloodline by chance or born that way, I do not know, but its power covers the entire Prima Universe.
The dot of light you and I have on our soul dimensions is a Beyond Prima Omega Art. It will allow us to channel the strength of the cosmic force that Ivar created and obtain all kinds of supernatural powers.
Even the most mediocre Beyond Prima Omega Art is incredibly hard to train. However, the upgrade in battle power they grant can compare with Law Bloodlines.
Although a Beyond Prima Omega Art is not the only way to learn how to use an external Omega Law, it is the best method. Due to the stress that training an art puts in your soul, you must form Inner Law Dimension before using it.
The Animax Soul Rune I handed to you is named Vajra Terminus Body. It allows you to display part of the power in the Vajra Terminus Omega Law. Your body's defenses will obtain an incredible boost, and Terminus Force will fuse into your lightning.
Just like the one in my True Doomsday Body, it is a Peak Rank 5 Animax Soul Rune. The amount of energy it consumes is immense, so you will only be able to activate it for a few short seconds."
The current Zatiel had zero comprehension over the Vajra Terminus Omega Law, but that was the wonder of runes. You don't need to understand them to create one and use its power, as long you have the runic diagram in your mind.
Ezequiel's eyes shone with excitement. Without hesitation, he engraved the Animax Soul Rune in his True Doomsday Body.
The process was painful, but the Supreme Neo-Demon resisted like it was nothing. Once he finished, without waiting, he fed the rune with Elemental Chaos.
His face grew pale due to the sudden loss of energy. The next instant, his aura skyrocket, and a pillar of white lightning with a black edge surged from his body.
Zatiel's Rebirth Eye analyzed Ezequiel's power, and he nodded.
"With this, you will not be limited to fighting weak Demon Marquises. Killing even those that are considered strong is within your reach."
According to Zatiel's calculation, Ezequiel's current battle power was higher than his. It was not due to a difference in their potential or bloodline since they were around the same.
The thing that pushed Ezequiel ahead was his unmatchable cultivation speed. After all, Zatiel could not spend every second improving his energy pool and Soul Origin.
However, that difference will diminish once they reach Rank 5 since the engraving of the laws into the body was a delicate process where one needed to put his complete focus.
