Chapter 571 - Awakening (XI)
"The Everlasting Law!"
Ezequiel clenched his fists so hard that his palms started to bleed. A Peak Tier 10 Star and a law connected to the concepts of life and creation. He could only think of one person that could and would summon such a star.
A silver flame appeared in his eyes as his willpower once again suppressed his emotions, allowing the Supreme Neo-Demon to keep a cold head.
"I will be there as soon as possible." Ezequiel closed the channel, and his energy exploded as he pushed himself to the limit and flew toward the closest portal to the Dark Tower.
It did not take him long to find one in a Magi Stronghold, and immediately after reaching the tower, he teleported to the Magi World.
Once there, it took him a second to reach the Daybreak Tower, from where he teleported to the Neo-Demon Realm.
Although it took Ezequiel a long time to reach the Neo-Demon Realm despite his best efforts, by the time he appeared in the void, the white whirlwind had only swallowed two-thirds of the Peak Tier 10 Star.
The process was reasonably fast for stars from Tier 1 to Tier 9, but it took much longer for those at Tier 10 and above as the energy required to teleport them was much higher.
Ezequiel immediately headed to the enormous white whirlwind at the periphery of the Neo-Demon Realm and saw Dante looking at it with hope in his eyes.
The heavenly body resembled a sky-blue sun that shone with so much force that it hurt the eyes of those at Rank 5. No matter its intensity, its power never weakened, and it seems it could last for eternity.
As for its volume, this Peak Tier 10 Star was so immense that three of them could equal the mass of a Low World.
More and more Neo-Demons arrived at the Neo-Demon Realm's void and headed to the star. None of them said a word, but they all had the same thought in their head regarding who summoned this heavenly body.
The Supreme Neo-Demon and Dante remained silent as the white whirlwind swallowed the star.
Just as the Peak Tier 10 Star was about to vanish from the Neo-Demon Realm completely, two beautiful women and a muscular man appeared.
Sophia, Zitra, and Tyrus stared at the whirlwind, and none of them could stop their bodies from shivering. The two women felt their heartbeat accelerating and could not control their emotions.
"We don't know what this means. Master put many plans in motion before the fight with the King in Yellow, and this could be the outcome of one of them." Ezequiel's words were cold as he spoke to the woman.
Sophia and Zitra frowned when they heard that, as those words targeted the hope inside their hearts.
The Supreme Neo-Demon saw how the women looked at him, and silver flames burned in his eyes, forcing them to lower their heads.
Although Ezequiel's behavior could be considered overbearing, anyone who was not a Neo-Demon and dared to throw that challenging look in his direction would have their souls shattered.
The carnage of the last centuries and his individuality had greatly affected the Supreme Neo-Demon's personality.
If you challenge Godking of Freedom, you must be ready to fight to the death.
Sophia and Zitra knew that Ezequiel was right, and there could be many answers for the white whirlwind above that Peak Tier 10 Star, but still, their wish to see that man again was the strongest emotion they felt in their entire life.
"Aaaahn."
Suddenly, a gasp of surprise drew the women's attention, and as they raised their heads, they saw how Ezequiel adopted a meditative position in the void and closed his eyes.
During the past two centuries, Ezequiel never rested. He always went from one fight to the other, and whenever he needed to cultivate, he would summon an avatar and let the rest of his body into battle.
For him to finally take a moment to rest and do it in the periphery of the void meant only one thing. He was waiting to see what the next star would be.
If it were a Tier 11 Star with powers related to death and destruction, then he would allow himself to have hope.
Dante, Sophia, Zitra, Tyrus, and other Neo-Demons followed his lead and adopted meditative positions in the void, waiting for a miracle.
...
"¡BOOM!"
"¡BOOM!"
"¡BOOM!"
Unlike the calmness in the Neo-Demon Ream, a battle of epic proportion occurred inside the Peak Tier 10 Star's soul dimension.
A creature resembling a prehistoric bull with gray skin and two large horns from where sky-blue force emerged rammed a black humanoid and threw him to the soul dimension's wall.
The Peak Tier 10 Star Consciousness was a majestic being. His body contained an immense might, and there was a sense of immortality and indestructibility in him.
Death force and time could not affect him, as the Star Consciousness represented a force that surpassed the concepts of life and vitality.
The True Doomsday Body did not have time to recover as the Star Consciousness marched at him again, and every step he took increased his momentum.
Luckily for the black humanoid, before the Star Consciousness could trample him, someone appeared beneath this one and shoved him to the ceiling of the soul dimension.
"ROAR!" The Star Consciousness released a roar of rage and pain as a golden humanoid pinned him against the ceiling and punched his belly.
Unlike the previous battles against the Star Consciousnesses, the True Will stepped in this time. There was no need for the True Doomsday Body to fight alone, but he did it to train himself, something the golden humanoid approved.
However, this time the enemy was a Peak Tier 10 Star Consciousness. An entity with a soul force at the Peak Void Stage, and there was no way the True Doomsday Body could win on his own.
Actually, the golden humanoid's spiritual strength was also at the Peak Seed Stage, and since he had to channel some of his power to reinforce the soul dimension's wall, he was the one who needed the help of the True Doomsday Body in this fight.
"ROAR!"
The Star Consciousness released another roar, generating a shock wave that pushed the golden humanoid away.
Despite his size, the Star Consciousness was extraordinarily nimble and managed to strike the golden humanoid, sending this one crashing to the ground.
"¡BOOM!"
Without wasting time, the Star Consciousness kicked the soul dimension's ceiling and lunged toward the golden humanoid.
The creature's momentum was astonishing, and the golden humanoid did not think he could survive a direct strike.
Just before the clash, the black humanoid tackled the Star Consciousness, striking him in the head.
That strike managed to divert the creature's path away from the golden humanoid. Seizing the opportunity, the True Will flashed toward the Star Consciousness and connected a kick right on the neck.
"CRACK!" Sound similar to broken bones echoed through the soul dimension when that kick landed. It carried enough force to send the giant Star Consciousness clashing against the soul dimension's wall.
Although the golden humanoid would have wanted to continue the onslaught, he needed a moment to calm his raging energy, so he stood steady as the black humanoid landed by his side.
They looked at each other before turning toward the Star Consciousness, and they saw how this one used the sky-blue force to heal his wound at a shocking speed.
Everlasting was a frightening power, and the True Will and True Doomsday Body knew the enemy would be incredibly difficult to defeat.
"¡AHHH!"
"¡AHHH!"
Neither the black nor the golden humanoid showed fear as they roared, making their auras explode before flashing toward the Star Consciousness.
