Novel Full Chapter 572 - Awakening (XII)
Explosions, shock waves, and all kinds of blasts of energy reverberated through the Peak Tier 10 Star's soul dimension as the black and golden humanoid battled the Star Consciousness.
By the time silence returned to the dimension seven hours later, the only thing left from the Star Consciousness were pieces. The True Will and True Doomsday Body managed to defeat him.
Of course, neither the black nor golden humanoid came unharmed from the cataclysmic battle. There was no part of the True Doomsday Body that wasn't severely injured, and the True Will lost his right arm and left leg.
Both could barely maintain consciousness and would need to enter a semi-comatose state so their injuries would not leave permanent damage.
The only reason those horrible wounds would not affect their foundation was that the True Will had undying properties and could heal as long his core remained intact. On the other hand, the True Doomsday Body could consume the Peak Tier 10 Star Consciousness with a soul force at the Peak Void Stage.
After using the black wheel to devour the pieces, The True Doomsday Body returned to the Inner Law Dimension along with the True Will.
A dodecahedron with a sky-blue marble materialized inside Zatiel's third eye when the sealing ended, making him a Rank 6 life form in all his Paths of Power.
Thirty-nine years later, when Zatiel's time inside the dark purple spheric membrane surpassed the two and half centuries, the True Will woke up from his meditation.
It was time for the True Soul Path of Power to advance into the Primary Sun Domain Stage.
The blue humanoid used the power of the laws to fuse the seed of Soul Origin with the layer above it and generate a new one. It took him around twenty-nine hours to finish.
His soul force grew exponentially, as did his ability to perceive and use the laws. He calmed his raging energy before resuming his meditative position and channeling Origin Power.
As for the True Will and True Doomsday Body, they were both still in the semi-comatose state. Their wounds have significantly recovered, but there was still a long way until they completely healed.
Zatiel's four hundred and twelve anniversary since his samara marked the day the True Will and True Doomsday Body woke up and continued their cultivation.
Despite the black humanoid absentee, the Neo-Demon's body kept growing stronger over the last century as the Peak Tier 10 Apocalyptic Star never stopped nurturing his flesh and blood.
The black humanoid was ready to carry on the sealing of the next star since the black wheel allowed him to assimilate the Star Consciousness during his recovery, but he did not as the True Will stopped him.
It would take a few years for the golden humanoid to reach the Late Moon Shatterer, which would allow his spiritual strength to reach the Seed Stage. The True Will did not think it would be wise to fight a Peak Tier 11 Star Consciousness before that.
...
Hundreds of thousands of Neo-Demons stood in the void of the Neo-Demon Realm. Ezequiel, the Sky Breakers, and everybody else have been waiting for hundreds of years here.
They all understood that the stronger your last Apocalyptic Star was, the more time it would take you to advance to the next one, so a few centuries was nothing.
Even if it meant waiting for millennia, they would still do it for the chance to see the miracle they all have been waiting for.
Suddenly, Ezequiel opened his eyes and looked into the distance, in another corner of the Neo-Demon Realm. A gargantuan white whirlwind, so immense that it could swallow a Low World, appeared in that location.
Fear and anxiousness appeared in the eyes of the Neo-Demons as they saw the whirlwind appearing above nothing.
"No..." Sophia murmured that word as utter sadness appeared in her eyes. That whirlwind did not target a star and seemed to arise spontaneously in the void, which could mean the previous one was not related to Zatiel.
"WAIT!"
Luckily, before their souls descended into utter despair, Heinz yelled that word, and a smile slowly emerged on his face.
Ezequiel, Sophia, and the others turned to the Cultivator and saw a red pentagram in his eyes.
Heinz did not leave the Neo-Demons waiting and began to explain what happened.
"That whirlwind is swallowing a star. We can't see it because its power can negate all forms of light and even space-time, hiding it from everything."
The Neo-Demons started to breathe faster as excitement filled their hearts. After a moment, Sophia asked the question in everybody's mind.
"What law does that star embody?"
When Heinz heard that question, his face became severe since he understood that he could not make a mistake with something so important. He took a deep breath and poured every ounce of energy and soul force into his eyes, pushing the Ancient Oblivion Eyes beyond their limits.
The Cultivator bled for his eyes and ears and could not keep the Ancient Oblivions Eyes activated for more than a few seconds, but despite the damage, when he looked at the others, bliss could be seen in his face.
"I can not say for sure what law is at the core of that star, but it is a power that can annul all life and stop creation before it can happen."
Smiles emerged in all the Neo-Demons when they heard that. First, a whirlwind swallowed a Peak Tier 10 Star with force connected to life and creation, and now it devoured Peak Tier 11 Star with a law linked to death and destruction.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA!" Laughter echoed through the Neo-Demon Realm's void and filled all those who heard it with happiness.
The Neo-Demons turned to the origin and saw how Ezequiel laughed so hard that his eyes were tearing.
Sophia and Zitra began to cry as beautiful smiles full of love appeared on their faces. As for the male Sky Breakers, they joined the Supreme Neo-Demon and laughed with their strength.
Happiness filled the Neo-Demo Race for the first time in almost half a millennium.
....
Unlike the cheerful atmosphere covering the Neo-Demon Realm, the True Will and True Doomsday Body adopted a solemn attitude. They were about to fight an enemy whose soul force surpassed theirs and that mastered a power above death and destruction.
A contemplative expression appeared in the golden humanoid as he weighted their chances. After a moment, he frowned and turned toward the blue humanoid.
The True Soul woke up from his meditation and looked back at the golden humanoid. He had not formed part of the battle effort against the Star Consciousnesses, even when True Will and True Doomsday Body barely outperformed the Peak Tier 10 Star.
Unlike the black humanoid that would absorb the Star Consciousness and the golden humanoid that was indestructible, any damage to the blue humanoid would take a long time to heal, and it could leave sequels.
Unfortunately, this time the True Soul did not have a choice. He and the True Will needed to help the True Doomsday Body defeat the Peak Tier 11 Star Consciousness.
The True Will, True Soul, and True Doomsday Body teleported to the star's soul dimension. As soon they appeared there, a frightening aura assaulted them.
They saw a giant humanoid creature covered by a black fog, with arcs of energy forming eyes and a smile inside the soul dimension.
Golden, blue, and black permeated the soul dimension as the trio walked to the Star Consciousness.
