Chapter 923 Aion
“Athea Invictus is the winner!”
“ยกYEAHHHH!”
The moment Ezequiel uttered those words, the sound of cheering emerged from the Primordials led by Numir and soon spread across the entire arena. The battle between both women was incredible, to say the least, and left everybody in utter thrill.
Athea opened her eyes amidst the cheers. She was momentarily confused, but when she saw herself in the arena’s sky, she understood that victory was hers.
An expression of absolute happiness appeared on the Neo-Demon’s face as she basked in the glory. That feeling only grew stronger as she saw the slight smile on his father’s face.
Unfortunately for the young Neo-Demon genius, a minute after Ezequiel declared her the winner, he sent her back to the seats.
Athea was surprised, and the next thing she saw was two other geniuses appearing in the arena. Awkward expressions appeared in the duo when they heard the cheers quiet down after their arrival.
The Sacred Kings almost laughed as they saw that. Ezequiel was simply too strict and did not give his daughter a second more than he gave to any other genius.
“The next battle will occur between Akius of the Sunlight Dragon Lineage and Katan of the Equilibrium Sacred Mountain. Fight!”
Ezequiel’s words turned down all the noise as the people focused on the arena. Although it was far from the level of excitement Athea generated, it was still impressive, and Akius surprised everybody by achieving victory and passing to the next phase.
The battles carried on, with the geniuses displaying fantastic talent and skills, until finally, it was time for the last fight.
Ezequiel waved his hand, making two figures appear in the arena. One was a giant winged snake, and the other resembled a simple humanoid with white hair and golden eyes.
The people watching the duo felt somewhat odd. The contrast between each other was too great, with one being Zaphirox, the son of the strongest Eldar in the entire Daybreak Universe, and the other being a man named Aion, whom no one had ever heard of before!
Even Akius, who came from an ordinary background, had already spread his name across the Sector where he lived, but no one had ever heard of Aion, and they did not even remember him from the Nine Sacred Samsara World. The young white-haired man kept such a low profile that it was only now that it was his time to fight that people focused on him.
But things did not end there since Aion looked simply too normal. In a universe where every life form other than Depravitas had powerful lineages, seeing someone like Aion with no discernable bloodline characteristics was bizarre.
Aion could feel the gazes of the people in the entire coliseum focused on him, but it did nothing to change the peaceful smile on his face as he turned toward a remote corner.
Some people in the coliseum followed Aion’s eyes and were shocked to see one of the most beautiful women they had ever seen sitting there with two small children.
The woman had long golden hair and blue eyes, but what mattered was that no one had noticed her before. It was as if the same fog that hid Aion’s presence extended to her wife and sons.
Zaphirox frowned as he saw Aion looking away. This one should be using every second to try and analyze him, just like he was doing.
His opponent’s easygoing attitude in the most important fight of his life infuriated the Eldar immensely.
Ezequiel stared at Aion, and his eyes narrowed for a moment. He did not understand why, but only now was he paying attention to this young man despite being one of the top thirty-three geniuses of the entire Daybreak Universe.
It was clear to the Emptiness Thearch there was something special about this young man, and when he sent his consciousness into this one, a flash of surprise appeared in his eyes.
“Interesting.”
Ezequiel did not hide his voice, so everybody could hear it and caused a great shock. He was a Thearch, a True Rank 10 life form that traveled the Emptiness, so the fact a young Rank 7 life form could draw his interest was mind-blowing for everybody.
“The final battle of the first round begins now. Zaphirox of the Eldar Race, son of the Eldar Overlord Akation, vs. Aion of the Human Lineage.”
Those last words explained to everybody Ezequiel’s reaction to Aion. The Human Lineage was supposed to have vanished from the Daybreak Universe, but it was clear that was not the case.
“Human?”
Zaphirox was surprised and confused. He had never seen a person with the Human Lineage, much less a human, so Aion was something entirely new for him.
Nevertheless, while the Eldar was intrigued, he was not scared. There was a reason why the Human Lineage vanished, and it was its weakness.
“Fight!”
That word marked the beginning of the battle, and Zaphirox did not hesitate before making his energy explode. Even if Aion’s Human Lineage were supposed to be weak, he would not look down on an opponent that managed to rise to this point.
Unlike Zaphirox, who pushed himself to the limit from the start, Aion looked away from his wife and turned toward his opponent before adjusting his blue martial robe. The young man with the Human Lineage did not burn his energy or activate any skill.
“YOU!”
Zaphirox was furious when he saw Aion not showing any power-up and did not hesitate before launching forward.
The giant Eldar advanced at a shocking speed and carried a gravitational force behind him that manifested as a black wave capable of sealing space-time and crushing everything.
Aion saw the massive body of Zaphirox crashing toward him with a momentum capable of piercing a Low World and a black wave that covered the sky with his calm smile.๐ต๐๐๐๐๐๐ฎxt.๐๐๐
Just as Zaphirox was about to tackle Aion, the Neo-Demon with the Human Lineage did something that left everyone speechless.
