Novel Full Chapter 570 - Awakening (X)
The day the Supreme Neo-Demon felt his connection with the man that opened his eyes to the universe and showed him a path to power and freedom vanished, he went crazy with rage.
He slaughters city after city inside Gods' Tomb, painting the earth and sky red with the blood of Legends.
Less than twenty percent of the Divinity Faith Army survived after the Supreme Neo-Demon's rampage. They managed to secure themselves beneath the Transitional Plane's portal to their world.
The blood of countless Legends did nothing to satiate Ezequiel's wrath, so he targeted the other group he blamed for Zatiel's loss, the Eldritch Race.
The carnage he unleashed inside Gods' Tomb was a child's game compared with the slaughter he freed inside the Prima-Eldritch Universe Final Battlefield.
In the small window of forty years, he killed more than a billion eldritch life forms in the Earth Ring!
Deep inside, Ezequiel hoped that carnage would bring him peace, but nothing changed no matter how many he killed. The guilt that tormented his soul every day never went away, and that only made his desire to butcher Gods and eldrich life forms stronger.
Eventually, he returned to the Neo-Demon Realm and saw how everything was in chaos. Of course, there was no pillage, killing, or the likes since Neo-Demons were all kind and caring to each other.
However, despite their utopian behavior, the Neo-Demon culture centered around the Ancestor. From the moment the Chaotic-Core appeared in their hearts, their path became clear to them.
A Neo-Demon never questioned whether something was good or bad, whether the path ahead was right or wrong. They believed in following the Ancestor from the bottom of their souls, and nothing more matters.
Now that Zatiel was gone, they did not know what to do. The Sky Breakers managed to bring some order, but it was frail.
Heinz, Sophia, Dante, and the other Sky Breakers were powerful and respected by the entire Neo-Demon Race, but none of them was not an absolute entity like the Ancestor.
New Sky Breakers could rise as genius Neo-Demons challenged the old generation, so they could not become the pillar that the race needed.
When Ezequiel returned to the Neo-Demon Realm, he immediately became the center of attention. Millions of Neo-Demon focused on him to see what he would do.
His goal had always been to grow stronger to help the man that gave him everything. Now that goal was no more, and he lost his purpose in life.
What he really wanted was to leave everything behind, continue his endless carnage of Gods and eldritch life forms, and vanish from the Prima Universe's memory.
However, when he saw how the Neo-Demons looked at him, the same way he looked at Zatiel when they first met, the guilt inside his soul grew stronger.
'I will not fail him again!'
That was the thought that crossed Ezequiel's mind as every ounce of willpower in him exploded, and he roared with all his strength.
"ROAR!" A tsunami of killing intent emerged from the Supreme Neo-Demon and flooded the Neo-Demon Realm's void. It was a slaughter aura fed by the life of countless Rank 6 Eldritch.
Silver light burned inside Ezequiel's eyes as he roared, and the words in his Neo-Godking Mantle began to change and grow stronger.
Those words corresponded with the concept of reality that Ezequiel began to harmonize after reaching the Moon Shatterer Rank.
Before, they unleashed an aura that would make people experience liberty, but now they changed into something new and more ruthless.
A word emerged in the Supreme Neo-Demon's Neo-Godking Mantle, a word that would become the credo of the Neo-Demon for the following centuries, and that word was:
FREEDOM
The Neo-Demons Race would free the multiverse from Gods and the Eldritch Universe, evilness and injustice, of anything that went against them.
Ezequiel would not renege Zatiel's goal of a utopian universe, but his path would be ruthless. Even if it meant to burn the entire Prima Universe, he would do it if that allowed the Neo-Demon Race to stand above everything.
Inside Ezequiel's Inner Law Dimension, the golden humanoid opened his eyes and stood up before also unleashing a roar.
When he reached the Moon Shatter Rank, silver light appeared in his eyes, and now it extended all over his body and became a silver sun!
Ezequiel had reached the Peak Moon Shatterer in the Earth Ring, but it was only now that he managed to advance further.
When a Neo-Demon found the core belief that would guide him forward and reflected his individuality, his True Will became powerful enough to enter the Sun Collapser Rank.
The golden humanoid's spiritual strength grew immensely, reaching Late Rank 7, but the true might of a Sun Collapser was that their willpower could now affect the real world.
A True Will at the Sun Collapser Rank gained the title of Godking, and their willpower was so powerful that it manifested as a silver sun made of a unique force.
The reason for the term God in their title was that the silver sun was the metaphysical manifestation of a Neo-Demon's faith.
However, unlike those who follow the Slave Path of Power, this faith was directed to themselves.
No matter how hard the path is or the suffering it carries, a Godking belief in themselves will never shiver, and he will never give up!
Ezequiel and the True Will roared simultaneously, and now that tsunami of killing intent also carried his willpower.
It was at that moment that the Neo-Demon Race found its path again. They saw in Ezequiel their new pillar, the one they could follow without hesitation for the rest of their lives.
The Supreme Neo-Demon proved that they did the right thing in granting him their devotion. Every day, he fought to become stronger, pushing himself harder and harder.
He almost perished several times, but all that hard work paid off, and he managed to seal a Peak Tier 11 Star in his eighth heaven. That meant he had an Apocalyptic Star with the power of a Seed Stage existence in his right hand.
A little over two hundred and seventy years had passed since Ezequiel became the leader of the Neo-Demon Race.
The Supreme Neo-Demon's True Soul Path of Power had reached the Peak Primary Sun Domain Stage, and the might of his True Will and True Doomsday Body allowed his battle power to surpass the limits of the Void Stage.
After breaking the five arms, Ezequiel's right fist landed in the Rank 7 Eldritch's chest and sent him to the ground. Not willing to give the enemy even a second to rest, he kicked the air and gave chase.
His eyes glowed with silver flames, and Will Force reinforced his body, increasing his power even more.
"¡BOOM!"
An explosion that smashed the continent occurred when the Supreme Neo-Demon clashed with the Rank 7 Eldritch in the ground.
The eldritch life form puked black blood but could not give himself the luxury of waiting as the Supreme Neo-Demon was about to unleash a rain of punches toward him.
With no other option, the Rank 7 burned his life force, generating a shock wave that pushed Ezequiel back and gave him enough space to fire all his fists, even the broken ones.
Ezequiel's eyes narrowed, and he made a cross with his arms before covering them with the power of vibrations and gravity.
The attack sent the Supreme Neo-Demon flying away and numbed his arms. The damage did not weaken his battle power but paralyzed him for a few seconds, allowing the Rank 7 Eldrich to run away.
Ezequiel was tired and had little energy left, but that did not diminish his killing intent. He was about to chase the Rank 7 Eldritch when his ring glowed.
Dante was the only that could use this communication channel and knew he should not use it unless there were an emergency, so Ezequiel let the eldritch life form escape and focused on the ring.
"Supreme. Important news from the Neo-Demon Realm. A whirlwind appeared above a Tier 10 Star!"
As he analyzed the message, Ezequiel's eyes started to widen, and his body shivered for a moment.
No Neo-Demon had reached the Late Rank 6 in the True Doomsday Body Path of Power, and although the Sky Breakers managed to jump a level, their last Apocalyptic Star was a Tier 8, so they could not be responsible for the whirlwind.
Ezequiel's willpower allowed him to regain control over his emotions immediately, but he still had to take a deep breath before making the next question.
"What force does that star contains?"
"The Everlasting Law!"
