Chapter 567: Awakening (VII)
Other than the True Will, all the Paths of Power had yet to enter Rank 5. Still, every aspect of Zatiel's existence was more potent than when he became a Law Engraving existence before his samsara reincarnation.
The Neo-Demon's aura was so absolute and strong that any Demon or Void Creature at the early stages of Rank 6 would run away the moment they detected it. It was like an ȧduŀt deer would instinctively fear a young lion due to its place in the food chain.
Sixteen years passed after the sealing of the third Apocalyptic Star, and it was already time for the next one. As the organs prepared to receive the next star, a white whirlwind appeared in the Bloodline Heart and the Elemental Chaos Heart.
The True Doomsday Body was taking the step into Rank 5, and thanks to his hard work and fantastic talent, he managed to strengthen himself and Zatiel's body enough to jump a tier.
In the Neo-Demon Realm's void, another white whirlwind manifested above a giant red star bathed in dark flames and whose aura matched Peak Rank 5.
This mighty heavenly body whose flames burned with the might of a Low World's sun was a Peak Tier 6 Star.
Once the whirlwind swallowed the Peak Tier 6 Star, the black humanoid at the bottom of the Spiritual Endless Ocean stood up and teleported.
A whale-like creature with twelve wings and a mantle of magma covering his body received the True Doomsday Body once he reached the star's soul dimension.
Although his enemy's soul force surpassed him by an entire Rank, the black humanoid's eyes displayed absolute confidence in himself. He already devoured the soul of a Rank 5 life form, and unlike his previous opponent, whose law was the unpredictable Law of Void, this Star Consciousness mastered the Law of Yang.
Of course, that did not mean the Law of Yang was weak, but it was easier to handle than the Law of Void, and since the black humanoid already devoured a Star Consciousness with the Law of Fire, he developed some resistance to fire-type attacks.
"ROAR!" The Star Consciousness roared with wrath when he saw the black humanoid invading his home and lunged toward the intruder.
Instead of dodging the Star Consciousness ȧssault, the black humanoid flew directly toward his opponent as the power of gravity and void increased his body's weight and density.
One was bȧrėly two meters tall, while the other was a creature the size of a small continent, but when they collided, the winner was not the one with the largest body, but the one with the highest power!
"¡BOOM!"
An explosion occurred as they clashed, and the black humanoid pushed the whale-like creature back before immediately chasing and continuing his onslaught.
"¡BOOM!"
"¡BOOM!"
The True Doomsday Body pushed the Star Consciousness against the soul dimension's wall using nothing but his punches. Luckily, golden energy reinforced the place, ensuring that the battle did not affect the exterior.
He intended to continue his attack, but just as he approached the Star Consciousness, this one opened his mouth and unleashed an ocean of yang flames.
Dodging the attack was impossible due to the close distance between the two. Just as the flame ocean was about to consume him, the True Doomsday Body's eyes glowed, and he clasped his hands as the black wheel unleashed a powerful aura.
The power of the Law of Gravity and the Law of Void fused, making a black forcefield with a purple edge manifested around the True Doomsday Body.
A strong gravitational force capable of twisting space-time protected the black humanoid from the ocean of yang flames!
Seeing that mighty force field only made the Star Consciousness attack with even more strength and increased the yang flames' heat to the point they could burn weak Rank 6 life forms.
Pain appeared in the black humanoid's face as he felt his body burning despite the force field protection, but he only focused on expressing the might of the Law of Gravity and the Law of Void.
After thirty seconds, the Star Consciousness could no longer keep the attack, and the ocean of yang flames vanished, showing the black humanoid.
The True Doomsday Body did not wait for a moment before making a new hand seal, transforming his gravitational domain into black whips with a purple edge that tied up the whale-like creature.
The Star Consciousness used almost all his strength in that last attack and could bȧrėly move once the black chains restrained him, so what happened next was no surprise for anyone.
Five minutes later, the True Doomsday Body used the black wheel to devour the Star Consciousness fragments.
Onc the sealing of the Peak Tier 6 Star finished, and the black humanoid returned to the Spiritual Endless Ocean as his aura skyrocketed, Zatiel's True Doomsday Body Path of Power surpassed the limits of Rank 4.
As if waiting for it, the blue humanoid in the Soul Celestial Vault also experienced a change, as his Soul Origin concentrated pushing the True Soul Path of Power into Rank 5.
It did not take long for the aura of the black and blue humanoids to stabilize, signaling the end of their advance. Each of their strengths increased exponentially, alongside their control over the powers in the wheels behind them that embody Zatiel's bloodline.
The True Soul Path of Power now required that Zatiel engraved laws into his body and consciousness. However, they were already inside him, so he only needed to reactivate them, saving a lot of time.
Four years after the True Soul and True Doomsday Body reached Rank 5, the dark purple core at the center of Zatiel's brain trembled as the vortexes in the channels began to evolve from a gaseous stage into a liquid one.
However, those moments were just like the ones a baby would make inside a mother's wȯmb. They signaled his vitality and soul growing stronger, but they did not mean he was ready to be born yet.
Rank 5 was not anywhere close to the end of Zatiels' embryonic stage.
