Chapter 768: Rank 9 True Will (III)
Chapter 768: Rank 9 True Will (III)
With each arc of golden lightning that struck Ezequiel, the silver sun grew more powerful and solid, coming closer to its final form.
Ezequiel’s ferocious smile never faded as he endured the destructive might of the Universe Will Storm. For more than one hour, those arcs of lightning struck him until, finally, the storm began to condense.
As its size grew smaller, the power of the Universe Will Storm grew mightier, reaching a point where it began to distort the space-time in the void.
Ezequiel’s eyes grew solemn as he felt the power of the Universe Will Storm, and the smile on his face vanished.
“Final attack, I assume.” The Supreme Neo-Demon took a deep breath as he spoke those words, and then his ferocious smile returned. “Fine. Give me all you got!”
Not even a second after Ezequiel spoke those words, the Universe Will Storm fired an electric cannon carrying every iota of energy.
“¡BOOM!”
An explosion echoed through the universe as the electric cannon struck Ezequiel. There was no physical power in that attack, but it could provoke such massive damage to a life form’s will that not even a Primarch would come unharmed.
Once the electric cannon vanished, Ezequiel’s figure became visible again. He stood there unmoving, and the light in his eyes grew incredibly weak.
The aura of the Supreme Neo-Demon was in disarray. Everybody assumed the worst, but the silver sun suddenly burst with power.
For just a brief moment, all life forms in the Prima Universe saw an image in their mind. It lasted less than a blink of an eye, but in it, there was a silver sun with a handsome man inside it.
Although they did not understand it, the more they thought of that image, the more a word came to their minds.
¡Freedom!
Ezequiel’s eyes shone with a silver light as he began to remember his life. His birth as a slave, the time he found the person chose to follow, the smile of happiness in the people he freed from their chains, and the carnage of those that put them in shackles.
Each of those memories seemed to become part of the new force he now controlled.
A Sun Collapser True Will harmonized with a Concept and gained Will Force, but a Rank 9 True Will achieved something much greater. After its evolution, the golden humanoid became a Concept, acquiring the potential to evolve into a Rank 10 entity.
Ezequiel had entered into contact with Concepts for the first time thousands of years ago as he searched for the one that most suited him.
Back then, he had wrongly assumed that a Concept was the same or at least operated similar to the laws, but now as his will became one, he understood everything clearly.
The laws appear at the beginning of an Epoch, and they are responsible for forming reality. Their power is what granted flames the ability to burn.
However, Concepts are different. Their birth is similar to that of the Universe Will. The collective drive and emotions of the myriad intelligent life forms create them.
From a certain point of view, Concepts and laws are similar. The Law of Pride and the Concept of Pride share many aspects, but while the first is much more rigid, the second is flexible and full of possibilities.
Of course, with a higher potential comes greater difficulty in mastering them. Before the Neo-Demon Race, no one else had created a Path of Power capable of channeling the power of Concepts to the level of Rank 9.
The Supreme Neo-Demon’s eyes regained focus as his True Will finished its evolution and the Sun of Freedom stabilized.
“I am the True Godking of Freedom!” Ezequiel roared those words as his aura burst with power. Still, he did not let the thrill and excitement distract him for long.
Under the gaze of the entire Prima Universe, Ezequiel turned to the Titan World and focused on the world’s origin. He then clasped his hands and performed a deep bow.
It was only after a minute that he straightened his back. Pan Gu’s help and teaching were something the Supreme Neo-Demon would never forget.
Ezequiel felt many gazes focused on him and could not put a face on them. But that changed very fast.
The Supreme Neo-Demon closed his eyes for a moment, drove the Sun of Freedom inside him, and then his body vibrated to a frequency that made the void tremble.
Issac and Salomon’s eyes widened as they felt the Supreme Neo-Demon focus on them, and they were not alone as every other powerhouse looking at this one felt the same.
The powerhouses and Primarchs were not wrong, as Ezequiel saw them as if they were right next to him. That was one of the many powers he had access to as a Lord of Emptiness.
Ezequiel suddenly opened his eyes as confusion appeared in them. He turned toward where the Heavenly Creator World once stood and stepped forward.
Absolute and utter silence reigned as Ezequiel teleported to the void outside the Realm of Madness and focused on the man inside the Destiny Karmic Reincarnation Omega Law.
There were many questions on the Supreme Neo-Demon’s mind as he stared at Venganza. Luckily, he had the power to answer them on his own.
“Universe Memory!”
Ezequiel’s eyes grew blank for a second before all sorts of images appeared in them. They transpired so fast that it was hard to discern anything from them, but if you were powerful enough, you could see all sorts of important events.
Awe and wonder could be seen in Ezequiel’s face as he saw the events that took place hundreds of years ago above the Styx River.
Even for someone like the Supreme Neo-Demon, a battle that involved all the Primarchs, the World Tree, the Champion of Chaos, every single Archfiend from Baator and Abyss, and the Empyreal Primordials from the Alpha Universe was an incredible sight.
However, that amazement soon turned into an incredible sadness.
