Chapter 745: Rank 8 (III)
Usually, an Omega Law could extend for a few million kilometers. Those created by extremely talented individuals like Ivar and Apex manifested as a force field capable of covering a Low World.
However, covering an entire Principal World, one so massive as the Heavenly Creator World, was an impossible feat. Yet, the Fallen and Magus saw it happen right before them.
Ivar and Apex were not worried that the Heavenly Race would notice the dark force. Although the duo could see the Omega Law with their eyes, it was invisible to their consciousness, and while the enhanced Crystal Wall had many advantages, it also blocked Lilet and Bael’s vision.
The Omega Law had fully encompassed the Heavenly Creator World and kept growing stronger and denser.
Fourteen hours after the Omega Law came into existence, the Infinite Space-Time Supernova Eye finally woke up. Ivar and Apex immediately turned to this one and saw how his aura had become sharper.
“How do you feel?” Apex asked that question as he attempted to get a hold of Ziru’s condition.
The Infinite Space-Time Supernova Eye did not respond as his eyes were full of confusion, and it took a long time for him to regain focus.
“Strange, exhausted, stronger.” The Infinite Space-Time Supernova Eye slowly raised his arm and clenched his fist.
“How long were you there, and how many lives did you experience?” Ivar was curious about Ziru’s experience inside those dream worlds.
“Billions of years and too many lives to count.” Ziru could not give a better answer as his memories were still in disarray.
Ivar and Apex expected such an answer. Even they had problems recounting every moment of their lives in those dream worlds, and the time they were there was a fraction of Ziru’s.
“What woke you up?” Apex wanted to know what stopped those endless reincarnations.
If you fulfilled the saga or perished, you will still be sent into a different world and experience a new life. The duo woke up using their strength, but Ziru took another path.
“I am not sure. I just felt that I became a little more aware of myself in each new life. All the rage and anger that had driven me forward for the last few millions of years no longer guided my thoughts or actions. Those emotions were still there, and I did not lose them, but they were under my control, not the other way around. I freed my mind and soul at that moment, allowing them to experience a sort of evolution and woke up.” Ziru still felt odd about those experiences. Every life in those dream worlds felt so incredibly real that it was hard to accept they were just illusions.
The trio focused on Venganza, and their sights were full of awe at the might of his Omega Law. It had yet to show any offensive properties, but it had the strength to surpass the spirit defenses of an Everlasting Stage existence.
Venganza showed no reaction to the trio as he had yet to finalize his evolution into Rank 8, and his aura kept growing stronger.
Days passed, and the dark force covering the Heavenly Creator World grew stronger until finally, on the seventh day, it reached its zenith.
Ivar, Apex, and Ziru saw Venganza open his eyes and a monstrous soul force assaulted them all. The Depravita’s black eyes glowed with a power that seemed capable of bending reality.
“Billions of years ago, the Heavenly Race was the universe’s heroes. The myriad of races in the Prima Universe recognized them as saints, not only due to their formidable strength but due to their kindness and sense of justice. Under the leadership of the Champion of Justice and Order, they reached their prime, with their influence covering the entire universe.”
The trio was surprised to hear those words from Venganza and also confused. While the Heavenly Race cared deeply about its people, it was also extraordinarily xenophobic, and it was virtually impossible for them to show kindness to other races.
Venganza saw the confusion in the trio but carried on.
“When the Eldritch Race invaded and threatened to devour the entire Prima Universe, the Heavenly Race became the vanguard. They took the front of the battlefield, sustaining heavy losses, but in doing so, they inspired the entire universe to fight alongside them. Without that unity, we would have lost the war even with the World Tree and Champion of Justice and Order.”
Apex frowned as he heard those words. If the Heavenly Race was such a legendary race full of heroes, how did it become a scourge only second to Devils and Demons?
“Unfortunately, no good deed goes unpunished. The Great Old Ones saw the might of the Heavenly Race and understood that they were the pillar that sustained the Prima Universe, so they decided to remove it. They cast a dreadful curse using the essence of the Eldritch Universe’s nucleus.”
Those words made the trio’s attention spike as they were sure they were about to hear one of the great secrets of the Prima Universe.
“That curse would have transformed every member of the Heavenly Race, now and in the future, into sadistic monsters. They would have no problem ripping to pieces their own kind. However, the Champion of Justice and Order managed to interfere.”
Venganza made a slight pause as a meaningful light appeared in his eyes. The idea of sacrificing yourself for someone else was something a Depravita could not understand.
“The Champion of Justice and Order could have resisted that curse but instead made sure to devour as much as possible to protect his race. While the Heavenly Race still became deranged, their fraternal love remained. That was not all since the passage of time weakened the curse, and more and more were born free of it.”
Ivar and Ziru turned toward Apex, and a sense of enlightenment appeared in their eyes. The Fallen Race were no abnormalities of the Heavenly Race. They were those born pure, free of the Eldritch Curse.
“It is time for the Heavenly Race to die, and a new one, the original one, to be reborn.”
Venganza’s aura exploded as the power of his Omega Law crossed the Crystal Wall and entered the Heavenly Creator World.
“Destiny Karmic Reincarnation Omega Law!”
