Chapter 418: Supernova Race
Chapter 418: Supernova Race
Standing on top of a river of poisonous blood that could melt a Rank 4 life form in a matter of seconds, Zatiel saw a towering devil with a blue vertical eye on his forehead.
“You came, good. Oh, and your aura is even more formidable than when we last fought. Consider me impressed.” Eon Six spoke with a calm tone and a respectful expression on his face.
Despite being very deep within the territories controlled by Duke Krior’s forces, there was no fear or worry in his eyes.
Before Zatiel could ask why the devil revealed his presence the moment he exited the mountain range, Eon Six’s aura began to change.
Eon Six’s devilish aura changed into one full of resoluteness and bravery. Those characteristics were something you would never find in a devil.
His body also changed with his skin switching from a black color and to a metallic blue, while a monstrous bloodline force emerged from his heart. Right now, everybody could realize that Eon Six’s bloodline was a Pseudo-Second Order Law Bloodline.
There were glowing white runes in his skin that seemed to resonate with the Eye of Time.
Zatiel immediately recognized the white runes as Bloodline Inborn Runes. This type of rune occurred in children of parents who reached a level above the Prima Universe’s laws and whose seed carried the power of an Omega Law.
The power of Bloodline Inborn Runes and Animax Soul Runes was around the same, but the first ones are superior because they use much less energy.
The Neo-Demon deducted that Eon Six did not use them in their fight because, unlike Shooting Star End that could be disguised, activating his Bloodline Inborn Rune would have blown his cover.
Zatiel’s eyes narrowed as he felt Eon Six’s power and changes. He did not doubt that if they fight again, he would need to escape.
Eon Six was a Rank 5 life form at the 3rd Engraving Stage with a very powerful bloodline, Bloodline Inborn Runes, and a body that could resist an attack capable of killing a Peak Rank 5 Devil Lord.
Of course, the Neo-Demon’s life was in no danger at all. If he wanted to run, there was nothing Eon Six could do to stop him.
“I Eon Six, of the Supernova Race, member of the Unlimited Sun Clan, son of Infinite Space-Time Supernova Eye, greets you.” Eon Six’s eyes shone with pride and dignity as he spoke those words.
Zatiel showed nothing when he heard all that information, but hundreds of thoughts crossed his mind. It was the first time he heard of the Supernova Race, but he already had a pretty good idea of its origin.
“I have shown you my authentic appearance as a display of goodwill, and I hope you can do the same.”
The Neo-Demon did nothing after hearing Eon Six’s words, but it appeared the Supernova Race’s man expected that and pointed to his Eye of Time.
“The Eye of Time allows me to see a person’s past. I suffered a tremendous backlash when I perceived yours and only obtained scattered images, but I saw you surrounded by people full of love and respect, so you are definitely not a devil.”
The reason Eon Six did not participate in battles after the volcano was because he had been recovering. While Zatiel may not be too powerful right now, he constantly interacted with life forms that could alter time and space.
The Neo-Demon remained quiet for a moment before releasing a small sigh, deactivating the Doppelganger Fiend Rune, and showing his actual body.
A grave expression appeared on Eon Six’s face when he saw Zatiel’s natural body.
Eon Six did not connect the Eye of Life and Creation in the Neo-Demon’s forehead to his race.
The original Daybreak Bloodline that Zatiel obtained from the Supernova Eye of Life and Creation changed to the Rebirth Eclipse Bloodline, so there was no bloodline resonance between them.
What angered Eon Six were Zatiel’s wings, and a dangerous light appeared in his eyes as he asked the following question.
“Are you a member of the Heavenly Race or the Fallen Race?” There was immense killing intent in the voice of the Unlimited Sun Clan’s warrior when he mentioned the first race.
A smile appeared on Zatiel’s face when he felt the killing intent in Eon Six. The Neo-Demon Race saw the Heavenly Race as a plague that they must erase from the Prima Universe, so anyone with hatred against it could be considered a potential ally.
“I stole these wings from a Heavenly Race’s Archangel. They were inferior to my bloodline, so I enhanced them.” Zatiel unleashed his bloodline pressure and soul force, and an ancient aura assaulted Eon Six the next second.
Eon Six was startled by what he felt. Zatiel’s words were enough for his killing intent to vanish since no Heavenly Race’s Archangel would ever call himself inferior.
What shocked the Supernova Race’s man was the Neo-Demon’s soul force that put him at the Fourth Origin Cycle, and the fact the bloodline pressure affected him meant that Zatiel’s bloodline surpassed his.
‘His battle power surpasses the Peak of Rank 5, but he has yet to reach the limit of Rank 4. Not even big brother could do that when he was a Soul Forging existence! His aura clearly states his life force does not match his life experiences. An avatar of an ancient being or a reincarnation?’ A solemn expression appeared on Eon Six’s face, but the killing intent from before had vanished. As his mind ran wild with possibilities, a voice brought him back to reality.
“I answered your question, and you will now answer mine. There are little to no mysteries for me in the universe, but I have never heard of the Supernova Race. Explain that and also why do you hate the Heavenly Race.” Zatiel’s ancient aura grew more potent as he questioned Eon Six. The Neo-Demon needed to know more about the man’s race before deciding how to proceed with them.
Zatiel’s ancientness made Eon Six feel like he spoke with his Ancestors, and after a moment, he answered.
“My species bloodline and body were a great temptation for many powerful beings. History taught us that overestimating our abilities could have grave consequences, so we remained in the shadows for a long time. However, we have already become strong enough, and those who took advantage of our initial weakness will pay the price, that includes the Heavenly Race!” Eon Six’s words carried a sense of full-fulfillment and slaughter intent.
Zatiel could figure out why the Supernova Race loathed the Heavenly Race after hearing all that. He still wanted to know about the relation between the Supernova Eyes, but the Neo-Demon doubted Eon Six would answer something that involved his race secrets.
“So, why do you want to meet me?”
Eon Six was at a loss for words when he heard that question. The shocking events almost made him forget why he brought Zatiel here. Things were different now that he understood the Neo-Demon’s true nature, but he decided to go ahead with his plan.
The Eye of Time’s holder took a deep breath, and the next second, a heartbeat that made the entire canyon tremble originated from inside his chest.
Zatiel’s Rebirth Eye saw two hearts inside Eon Six. One worked as the core of his bloodline, and the other nurtured his body and empowered him with tremendous striking force.
‘That second heart is similar to the Eldritch Ghost Underworld that Ivar created for Gwyn to train his body. A special artifact that grants the holder the ability to practice a unique Body-refinement Path Technique.’
Inside the special artifact heart, Zatiel saw three phantoms, and after what he detected in them, he figured out the reason for Eon Six’s presence in Baator and what he would ask of him.
