Chapter 576 - Awakening (XVI)
"¡BOOM!"
The Star Consciousness' exploded as the power in the crimson-purple sphere burst inside him, sending the golden, blue, and black humanoids flying away.
Although being in the explosion's epicenter worsened their injuries, smiles appeared in the True Will, True Soul, and True Doomsday Body as they flashed through the soul dimension.
Despite facing a virtually invincible enemy whose martial skills, soul force, and destructive power greatly surpassed theirs and who only needed a touch of his palm to nullify anything they threw at him, they all came out alive and victorious!
It took a moment, but they recovered from the last explosion, with the first to stand up being the True Soul. His injuries were less severe, as the golden and black humanoids made sure to take the most dangerous part of the battle strategy.
The black humanoid also stood up after a few seconds, and the wheel behind him glowed, drawing the Star Consciousness' fragments spread through the soul dimension.
As soon as the black wheel devoured those fragments and channeled their power into him, the True Doomsday Body felt a rush of energy and vitality filling every corner of his body.
The True Will was the last one to stand up, and his condition was dire. Not only did he receive the worst of the Star Consciousness' attacks, but the crimson-purple sphere burst when it was in his hand, blowing up his arm and part of his chest.
If not for the golden humanoid's undying nature, these wounds would have severely harmed his foundation and made it very hard to advance his cultivation.
His eyes glowed, and the golden energy that reinforced the soul dimension returned to him, slightly improving his condition.
"!RUMBLE!" Once the golden energy left the soul dimension's wall, it began to tremble, and huge cracks emerged.
The battle between the humanoids and the Star Consciousness pushed the soul dimension beyond its limits. Now that the golden humanoid retrieved his energy, it would only be a matter of time before it crumbled into nothing.
None of the humanoids care about the star's soul dimension since now that they killed the Star Consciousness, it no longer had any use.
As soon as the black wheel finished with the Star Consciousness' fragments, the trio teleported to the Inner Law Dimension. The blue and black humanoids did not waste time and immediately entered a semi-comatose state to enhance their recovery speed.
However, the True Will remained awake. He needed urgent healing even more than the others, but three problems plagued his mind and did not let him rest.
The True Will stared at the black humanoid at the bottom of the Spiritual Endless Ocean and then at the blue humanoid in the Soul Celestial Vault and could not help but frown.
During the battle against the Peak Tier 11 Star Consciousness, something that became evident was that the True Soul and True Doomsday Body developed an ego!
He was the True Will, and among his many powers was the ability to detect any new personality or ego that manifested in the other two humanoids made of Zatiel Daybreak's Primordial Essence.
At first sight, it was evident that he failed, and the path ahead was clear. Fight the blue and black humanoids and erase their egos.
However, his instincts told him that was not the right course. There was no way he could have missed new egos emerging in the duo, and when he analyzed their wills, he noticed how similar they were to his own.
The True Will considered every possible reason for these singularities, and in the end, he turned his head back and focused on the golden wheel.
The black wheel allowed the True Doomsday Body to fuse souls and laws into his core, allowing him to use their powers as if they were their own.
Regarding the blue wheel, it allowed the True Soul to deploy an attack carrying the full might of Origin Essences without the need to learn any form of technique or spell. The blue humanoid only needed to think of them, and they would happen.
All this time, the True Will found it hard to perceive the uniqueness of his own wheel. It granted him a holistic improvement in his battle power, but he did not find any unique ability until now.
The golden wheel had been active from the moment it appeared and never stopped working. It established a karmic bond between the three humanoids made of Zatiel Daybreak's Primordial Essence, making the will that should only be present in the True Will spread to the other two.
It may reach a moment that the True Soul or the True Doomsday Body could travel to a completely different universe without the risk of split personality.
Although there was a possibility he may be wrong, the True Will trusted his instincts, so he did not interfere with the other two and just let things play out.
With that handled, the True Will focused on the second problem, and this one was something that he detected in himself. He was able to reason.
The golden humanoid was thinking, reasoning, no longer merely following his instincts or the determined actions engraved in his nature.
At first, the True Will did not even realize it as something abnormal, but he understood its danger when he made himself a question.
'Who am I?'
The answer that immediately came to his mind was:
'I am Zatiel Daybreak.'
He understood his nature, he was the True Will, maybe the most essential part of the Neo-Demon's Primordial Essence, but he was not him, at least not entirely.
And the True Will also realized that the True Soul and True Doomsday Body were also developing wisdom. They proved that by deploying schemes and tactics during the battle against the Peak Tier 11 Star Consciousness.
Luckily, while the blue and black humanoids have independent thought, that did not affect their shared ego.
The True Will analyzed his wisdom, and he could not remember a moment when he did not have it, meaning that he got it from his birth.
His eyes narrowed as he turned to the most powerful entity in the Inner Law Dimension.
It was the only thing powerful enough to allow the humanoids made of Zatiel's Primordial Essence that contained the core of his will, soul, and body to share an ego and develop individual wisdom.
REX SAMSARA UNIVERSALIS CAUSALITAX
Zatiel's True Name, of all the embodiments of the Neo-Demon, not even the True Will, True Soul, and True Doomsday Body together could compare with it.
It was the quintessence of Zatiel Daybreak's destiny and could be considered a unique miracle that stood at the highest level of the multiverse.
Nothing in the Prima Universe could even compare with it, and other than Zatiel, it treated everything with complete indifference.
Although deep down, the True Will was happy for his wisdom, he could not figure out the True Name's end goal.
In the end, the True Will only released a sigh and no longer focused on the changes the True Name provoked in them nor its goal, as it was something he could not nor did he want to change.
