Chapter 744: Rank 8 (II)
Chapter 744: Rank 8 (II)
From the beginning, it became clear for Ivar, Apex, and Ziru that Venganza’s Omega Law was unique. Instead of a normal one that manifested as an invisible force field, a dark aura emerged from the Depravita’s body.
Despite its appearance and the racial heritage of his creator, there was no sense of evilness in that dark aura. It was a force of the universe, apathetic, which did not heed terms like good or bad.
The trio was focusing on the Omega Law, trying to decipher something about it, when this one suddenly expanded with such a speed that they could not dodge it.
Apex, Ivar, and Ziru fell into a trance state, but the first two managed to wake up less than a second later, thanks to their strength.
A sense of shock, wonder, and awe appeared in the faces. The Magus and the Fallen looked at each other and saw they had similar experiences.
Apex saw how Ziru remained in a trance and immediately headed toward this one. He sent his energy and consciousness into the Supernova but did not find a way to wake him without risk.
After some consideration, the Archangel decided to wait since the experiences were not harmful.
“How many years did you spend inside it?” Apex’s question to Ivar made no sense since they only remained in the state for less than a second.
However, Ivar’s answer clarified that things were not so simple.
“Around eight hundred thousand years. I underwent forty-eight lives before I managed to regain my memories and break out. What about you?”
“A little over nine hundred thousand years. I experienced thirty-two lives.”
Ivar nodded toward Apex as he arranged the memories of those lives.
“My first life was in a world that resembled a fairy tale. There were swords and magic, with an extremely simplistic culture, and our enemies were mages that had dominated dark elemental magic.”
Apex’s eyes narrowed when he heard that and shook his head.
“I experienced a similar world, but that was during my ninth life. It ended after we took down the dark mages. Yours?”
When Ivar heard how Apex surpassed the ninth life, he could not help but frown.
“All my memories were gone, and I considered myself a kingdom citizen. Still, deep down, I felt disgusted by how those rulers behaved. I assume that it was because they were similar to the Gods.”
Ivar’s words made it clear that while the Omega Law reset their memories in each life, their personalities and egos remained intact.
“My life in that world ended after the dark mages took control. They achieved that after I joined them and became their leader.”
Ivar and Apex’s experiences made it clear that there was no correct way of surpassing those lives. They only needed to advance according to their desires.
The duo kept sharing their experiences. All those lives put them in different scenarios. Some implicated an entire universe, while others were small, involving a single world.
There were times when they would fail to reach the saga’s end and die, only for the Omega Law to send them into a new life.
“During most of those lives, I manage to get in contact with the laws. However, I was not just remembering them. I was learning them.” Apex mentioned that and saw how Ivar soon understood his point.
“Would that knowledge acquired during that mere second translate into actual power?” Ivar was full of curiosity.
The easiest way to clarify that would be to test their law comprehension, but it would be futile in their case.
Rank 8, or the Beyond the Shackles Rank, presented three stages: Beyond Falsehood, Beyond Limit, and Beyond Redemption.
You needed to form your Omega Law to enter the Beyond Falsehood Stage. At this point, your Prime Structure foundation would become solid enough to go beyond a mere energy design and into a solid structure, exponentially enhancing your energy reserves and power.
After fully solidifying your Prime Structure and reaching Peak Beyond Falsehood Stage, you enter the Beyond Limit Stage. In it, you must decipher the mysteries and rules of your Inner Universe to help you reach the Grand Completion Level in every law in the Prima Universe.
At that point, your Inner Universe would not be different from an actual universe, other than its size.
Since Apex and Ivar were Rank 9 life forms, they understood every single law of the Prima Universe to the Peak Grand Completion Stage, and there was no way to tell whether or not the law comprehension obtained inside those dream worlds returned with them.
“Do you feel something different with your soul?”
Apex’s question surprised Ivar, and this one immediately focused on the blue humanoid inside his Inner Universe. At first, there was nothing different, but after a closer look, he noticed it.
“My True Soul and soul force grew stronger!”
The improvement was so small that he barely noticed, but that was not the critical part.
A True Soul and soul force were rigidly bound to the True Soul Path of Power and the Inner Universe. So without advancement in cultivation, it was theoretically impossible to improve it.
Nevertheless, during that second that Venganza’s Omega Law sent them into those dream worlds, their cultivation did not improve at all, but their soul force did!
Right now, the improvement was minuscule since they were Immortal Will existences, but what would happen when Venganza reached the Eternal Detachment Rank and his Omega Law evolved.
The duo then turned toward Ziru and felt the changes in this one. The Infinite Space-Time Supernova Eye was weaker than Ivar and Apex, so the effect of the Omega Law was stronger.
Although there was no change in Ziru’s cultivation, Apex and Ivar were sure that once this one woke up, his enhanced soul force would allow him to finally jump from the Middle Everlasting Stage to the Late level.
Just as Ivar and Apex were assimilating the might of the dark force field, this one expanded again. The duo saw how it formed a cocoon around the Heavenly Creator World, and Venganza’s plan for the Heavenly Race became clearer.
