Abyssal Lord of the Magi World

Now that the mantle covering his figure was gone, people could see Beelzebub’s true appearance. He had a handsome face, a thin yet muscular body, and twelve majestic obsidian wings.

Those characteristics did not matter too much since someone could easily imitate them. Yet, now that nothing was hiding Beelzebub’s soul aura, a sense of shock assaulted many people in the coliseum, including those sitting in thrones.

An individual’s soul aura remained fixed over time and even during reincarnations, and the one that emerged from Beelzebub belonged to a legendary man. That person’s saga was second only to that of the Samsara Thearch, and he sacrificed everything he had for the Prima Universe more than once.

“Lucifer!”

Ezequiel uttered those words as a sense of shock assaulted his mind.

The Samsara Thearch collected the soul particles left by all those that fell during the Ultimate Multiversal War. He sent those tiny fragments of their existences into the Endless Wheel of Samsara Reincarnation, where they would heal and eventually return to life.

The nature of conception in the Daybreak Universe was similar to that of the Prima Universe, where the Primordial Essence of two individuals would fuse and give birth to a new soul. 

Zatiel would have never designed a cruel system that would hijack a baby’s body and implant the reincarnated soul. What happened was that the Endless Wheel of Samsara Reincarnation would interfere during the formation of the fetus’ body, generating a twin. The first child would be one hundred percent of their fathers, while the second would hold a reincarnator’s soul.

It was a great honor for a Neo-Demon family to foster a reincarnator during their first years of life until they recovered enough of their memories.

However, there were times when the reincarnators would return as members of the Eldar or Depravita Race. The Daybreak Universe had no sense of xenophobia, so it did not make a difference.

Many fallen heroes had already reincarnated, but some had yet to return. The greater the damage their souls suffered, the more time the Endless Wheel of Samsara Reincarnation would take to heal them.

An illustration of that disparity was between Hyperion and Yami. The ancient Patriarch of the Titan Clan reincarnated thirty thousand years after the Ultimate Multiversal War.

On the other hand, the Heavenly Empress, who sacrificed her essence and helped Ezequiel rise to the Rank 10 battle power echelon, had yet to return. 

It was impossible to accurately measure how long it would take for someone to reincarnate or where they would do it, but it was just a matter of time until all of them did it, so their families and loved ones just waited. 

If it were any other universe, there would be a chance they would perish before regaining enough of their memories, but that would not happen in the Daybreak Universe. Even if those people were to travel into the Nightmare Inferno Realm, where there was a chance of someone killing them, the Endless Wheel of Samsara Reincarnation would revive them again.

That was a gift that the Samsara Thearch gave to those martyrs that gave their lives in his name during the Ultimate Multiversal War.

Lucifer’s soul disintegrated during the climax of the Ultimate Multiversal War. Almost nothing of his Primordial Essence was left, so no one questioned why he had not returned to life, but it seemed he had done it thousands of years ago.

“What is the meaning of this!”

The Nihility Sacred King’s voice was cold and full of rage as he asked that question toward Codicia and Orgullo. As the most powerful member of the Fallen Lineage, he had made his life work to search for the Forefather of his kind. 

Lucifer Morningstar held a special place in the hearts of all the members of the Fallen Lineage, and the fact the Depravita Race had hidden him for such a long time enraged the Nihility Sacred King.

The rest of the Sacred Kings also focused on the Depravitas. Although they were not as enraged as Nero, it was clear that they needed an answer.

“SNAP!”

The sound of fingers snapping echoed across the coliseum alongside a wave of black-white lighting that froze everybody beneath the Peak of Rank 9.

Ezequiel stopped time since, while he did not want to interfere with the battle, the emergence of Lucifer was not something they could just wait to discuss. 

“We must talk.”

Venganza sighed as he saw that and frowned as he glanced at Beelzebub. There was no anger in his eyes, more like an annoyance that the young Depravita made him go through all this.

The Revenge Thearch teleported toward the podium and waved his hand, generating a cocoon of Depravita Aura around it. Ezequiel could not freeze the mind of Peak Rank 9 life form, and Venganza did not want anyone other than the Sacred Kings to hear his words.

Roku and many of the powerhouses sitting in the coliseum saw that they were excluded from the conversation but did not bother with it. Their willpower was too great for them to get annoyed about not being included in those discussions.

The two Thearch and Nine Sacred Kings stood inside the podium covered by Depravita Aura, and the tension was palpable.

“So, what happen!?”

Venganza heard Nero’s shout, and his eyes grew cold as he stared at the Nihility Sacred King. He understood the rage of this one but would not allow his dignity as a Thearch to be insulted.

Nero’s soul trembled as he felt the pressure of the Revenge Thearch’s might, but silver flames emerged in his eyes, erasing any fear or hesitation.

Beelzebub was already a Rank 7 Depravita, and although the reincarnation should have affected his memory, there was no way he would not remember anything from his past life. The only reason for something like that to happen was if someone with the Revenge Thearch’s power influenced his soul.

“Enough!”

Ezequiel shouted, making space tremble. Everybody turned toward him and immediately adopted a solemn expression when they saw the crystal in his hand.

The Samsara Thearch left behind that crystal that could be used to summon him from his slumber. No matter how strong the people present had become, the rage of Zatiel Daybreak was something that none could even dream of enduring.

“Nihility Sacred King, you will show respect to a Thearch!”

When he heard that, Nero clenched his fists, but the silver flames in his eyes grew stronger as he controlled his emotions and gave a small bow toward Venganza.

“I allowed my emotions to go out of control. For that, I apologize. However, I will not relent in my demand for answers.”𝒐𝐯𝓵xt.𝐂𝓞𝔪

The Revenge Thearch’s eyes grew calm after seeing that, and he nodded before waving his hand, making a crystal sphere full of soul force appear in his hand.

Ezequiel’s eyes narrowed, and coldness emerged when he saw perceived memories and emotions inside that crystal sphere. Those should be Beelzebub’s memories regarding his life as Lucifer Morningstar.

The Emptiness Thearch was not alone since the other Sacred Kings also grew furious at the idea that Venganza could have twisted Lucifer’s mind to make him a faithful member of the Depravita Race.

Before things got out of hand, Venganza closed his eyes and allowed fragments of his soul to emerge. 

“Inspect them, and you will get your answer.”

The rage inside Ezequiel and the Sacred Kings froze when they saw that Venganza would allow them to inspect a piece of his soul. 

The Thearch and Sacred Kings looked at each other and were very careful as they sent their consciousness into Venganza’s soul.

An image appeared in their minds of Beelzebub and Venganza standing on top of the Depravita Sacred Mountain.

“Are you sure of following this path? Maybe you could take this decision after speaking with the people of your past and your Lineage.”

Venganza was talking with Beelzebub and spoke to the young Depravita as if this one was his equal.

“The memories of my past life are returning faster and faster, and if I wait any longer, it might be too late. I seek to rise above the limitations of my past, and for that, I must start from zero. 

If I allow my life as that person to return, I will have an easy path to my former peak, but in my heart and soul, I will believe that is my limit, and I refuse to accept that!”

Beelzebub’s eyes displayed a monstrous determination as he uttered those words, and it was clear to everybody that there was not an iota of hesitation in his soul.

Venganza put his hand on Beelzebub’s soul before making the power of his soul and Eternal Flame explode.

“You were a great hero in your past life, and it was an honor to fight by your side.”

After uttering those words full of admiration and respect, the Revenge Thearch began to extract all the memories of Beelzebub’s life as Lucifer Morningstar.
