Chapter 385: Entropy Regiis Unus
Chapter 385: Entropy Regiis Unus
Unlike what you would expect from a chaotic city constructed in a place of slaughter like the 4th layer of Abyss, Evil City was full of order.
Demons were using every second of their day to increase their strength and learn the army formation taught to them by their Demon Lord.
Evil City could be considered a heavenly place for lesser demons. The amount of Abyss Aura and natural energy in it was hundreds of times greater than what you would find outside, and there was even an increase in the density of Origin Power.
There was an evil and dark aura that covered every corner of Evil City. It would not be wrong to call it the strength of the Infinite Layer of the Abyss.
Those inside this horrible aura only needed to close their eyes to see the monster controlling it. He was a five-meter tall white humanoid that could incite fear even in the heart of killing machines like demons.
The lesser demons were not the only ones in a state of constant fear. Those who had already awoken their True Souls also woke up and slept with terror in their hearts.
Usually, Rank 4 Demons would have an easy time working for a Demon Lord since they were mighty warriors. Unless they committed a great offense, they would not have to worry for their lives until they reach Rank 5.
However, the value of Soul Forging Demons in Evil’s eyes was different.
From time to time, those at Rank 4 would stare at the sky above the castle where the monster they all feared resided. In there, they would see a Fiendish Cyclop without eye, ears, nose, or extremities.
The pitiful demon was flayed, his genitalia smashed, his jaw ripped off, and the top of his skull broken, leaving his brain to the open.
The worst part was that the demon was still alive. The True Soul was put under a spell, making it impossible for him to escape or kill himself, confining him to endless suffering.
Evil performed the feat with his bare hands, and everybody knew the reason why.
Pilo, the second in command of Evil City, a Peak Rank 4 Demon, had fallen short by forty-nine life forms from the ten million he had to capture.
The Demon Lord only said six words after finishing his work on the Fiendish Cyclop.
“The price for a small mistake.”
If that incredible agony was what they would pay for a small mistake, just the idea of what they would experience if they genuinely anger him was enough to horrify the demons.
All the demons of Evil City, from the weakest to the strongest, knew that to their Demon Lord, their lives were meaningless. Some even speculated that Evil felt pleasure killing them.
Right now, in the underground city beneath those demons, Ezequiel was floating above millions of unconscious life forms. Most of them were demons.
The Supreme Neo-Demon had been meditating for the last few months and focusing entirely on the phenomenon inside his Bloodline Heart.
Inside the heart, there was a thin arc of white lightning. The power this phenomenon carried was incredible, and the Prima Universe’s laws behaved erratically around it.
Several unique forces were present in the phenomenon, all acting in unison and with complete harmony.
The electric might of lightning. Fast, full of destruction, and endless potential for creation.
The burning energy of fire. Capable of annihilating everything in its path and giving way for new things to be born.
The unrestricted power of the wind. Full of countless variations and changes, flexible and unlimited.
The fluid force of water. Soft and yielding, able to resist anything due to its formless nature and crush everything beneath its pressure.
The enduring endowment of earth. Always present, regardless of the damage, changing and adapting to the most inhospitable environments.
Other than the elemental forces, there were two more powers inside the white lightning.
The eroding and everlasting force of time and the encompassing and ever-present force of space.
Inside Ezequiel’s Bloodline Heart, there was a phenomenon with the might of lightning, wind, fire, water, earth, space, and time!
The white lightning was born after the Supreme Neo-Demon understanding of the mysteries of the physical, energy, and spiritual aspects of existence obtained a breakthrough, allowing his True Name to evolve.
Ezequiel’s True Name is Entropy Regiis Unus!
Due to its nature and power, the Supreme Neo-Demon had decided to call this phenomenon Primordial Entropy Lightning.
The Primordial Entropy Lightning liberated radiation that mutated Ezequiel’s atomic matrix, generating an evolutive change in his existence.
However, the power of the white lightning was too wild and unrestrained, even for the Supreme Neo-Demon. To stop his body from breaking apart and use the Primordial Entropy Lightning without side effects, Ezequiel had to develop comprehension over the elemental laws along with space and time.
There was another challenge regarding the Primordial Entropy Lightning. It did not grow on its own and needed to be fed.
Ezequiel let the white lightning out of his Bloodline Heart. Once the phenomenon placed itself above the Neo-Demon, it released a monstrous devouring power.
As for what the Primordial Entropy Lightning consumed, the answer was simple.
It devoured all!
Tens of millions of individuals were beneath Ezequiel. The white lightning devoured the body, energy, and soul of hundreds of thousands in a matter of minutes, reducing them to ashes.
Ezequiel saw with emotionless eyes how the Primordial Entropy Lightning devoured everybody in a matter of hours.
The only limit to how strong the white lightning could become was Ezequiel’s understanding of the forces that compose the universe.
The Supreme Neo-Demon sent the Primordial Entropy Lightning back to his Bloodline Heart and analyzed it.
‘Good, it has already grown to its current limit. I need to start hunting down new and stronger life forms to feed it once I obtain another breakthrough. According to my calculations, the amount of life it has consumed could equal that of a developed Low World.’ Ezequiel felt a headache coming as he thought of the Primordial Entropy Lightning’s endless hunger. However, that annoying feeling immediately went away when he detected the increase in battle power that this phenomenon granted him.
The Supreme Neo-Demon was sure that this white lightning would be the core of his strength, now and in the future, just like the Rebirth Eye was in Zatiel.
Ezequiel did not leave the underground city after having finished feeding the Primordial Entropy Lightning. He remained in the air and used his ability to commune with the universe to decipher the elemental laws and space-time forces.
An entire year passed until the Supreme Neo-Demon opened his eyes. He had managed to advance his law comprehension over the fire, water, wind, and earth to the Low Initial level and space and time to the Middle Potential level.
Only after his understanding of the laws increased did Ezequiel allow the Primordial Entropy Lightning’s radiation to continue to change him.
The process was excruciating since it also involved his soul. Thankfully, he had his True Will to assist him in that.
He stopped after his existence’s metamorphosis had reached five percent because he felt his atomic matrix beginning to destabilize.
‘It is time.’ After the nurturing from the Primordial Entropy Lightning, Ezequiel was ready to seal his third Apocalyptic Star.
The Supreme Neo-Demon began to inject Elemental Chaos into the True Doomsday Body’s twin heaven connected to his lungs and relayed coordinates to his Chaotic-Core.
There was a massive star in the Neo-Demon Realm’s void with giant arcs of lightning that resembled mythological snakes moving around it.
A white whirlwind appeared above this star and swallowed it. The next second, a blue marble appeared inside Ezequiel’s lungs.
As usual, a fight started between the Neo-Demon’s True Will and the Star Consciousness, but thanks to Ezequiel having reached Star Breaker, the battle lasted a few seconds.
A stellated dodecahedron appeared in each of the Supreme Neo-Demon’s lungs. Of course, there was only one star sealed in both.
The new Apocalyptic Star released law fragments that fused with the organs and granted it supernatural abilities.
From now on, the oxygen that entered the Supreme Neo-Demon’s lungs will fuse with lightning force.
The third Apocalyptic Star was special because it would grant an ability once formed thanks to oxygen being able to enter the core of every cell of the body.
The name of the ability was Elemental Constitution, and due to the star Ezequiel chose, he obtained Lightning Constitution.
A smile appeared in the Supreme Neo-Demon as he felt his Paths of Power advancing. His True Doomsday Body was not the only one improving. He managed to push his True Soul to the Fourth Origin Cycle.
His soul and body’s development allowed his ability to commune with the universe and the amount of World Strength he could channel to grow.
All of a sudden, the Supreme Neo-Demon smile vanished, and killing intent filled his eyes.
Ezequiel transformed into a stream of white lightning and appeared instantly above Evil City.
He looked in the north-west direction and saw a group of Rank 5 life forms hiding in a rock formation five thousand meters away.
“I found you.”
