Abyssal Lord Of The Magi World

Chapter 388 - Darkness Constitution

Zatiel sat in the Soul Throne with his eyes closed. The Neo-Demon studied the phenomena carried inside his bloodline, and hundreds of high-quality origin stones were in his stomach.

The Neo-Demons' Ancestor increased his law comprehension and cultivation over the last few years after converting the entire Daybreak Clan into his kind.

Suddenly, the Neo-Demon's eyes opened as a message from the NRAI appeared in his mind.

"WARNING: Supreme Neo-Demon brought an alien life form into the Neo-Demon Realm. Please, instruct in how to proceed." The NRAI was programmed to erase the life of any sentient life form inside the realm that was not a Neo-Demon.

Before Zatiel and the rest of his people put a foot inside the realm, the NRAI would have killed the alien life form immediately, but things were different now.

Ezequiel had permission to bring demons into the realm since the Neo-Demons' Ancestor had asked him to capture several Demon Lords. Therefore, the NRAI asked Zatiel for guidance in how to proceed since the alien life form was a human.

Other than Zatiel, no one could grant permission for a sentient life form without a Chaotic-Core to exist inside the Neo-Demon Realm.

Zatiel frowned and immediately teleported. He appeared in the Fornes continent, near the Underworld Forge, and saw Ezequiel descending from the sky.

The Supreme Neo-Demon's condition was horrible. There were cuts so deep that reached the bones, his left arm was missing, and there was almost no Elemental Chaos, Soul Origin, or Astral Origin left on him.

The Rebirth Eye showed to Zatiel that there were also wounds in Ezequiel's vital organs and soul.

Despite all that, there was a radiant smile on the Supreme Neo-Demon's face, and his entire existence radiated pride and battle intent.

The Supreme Neo-Demon stared at the Neo-Demons' Ancestor before beginning to laugh and threw a mangled human body to the ground.

"I AM STRONG!" Ezequiel roared those three words full of battle will before losing consciousness and falling to the earth.

Zatiel's eyes narrowed as he saw the human and detected his cultivation and health.

Every single one of Hiro's bones and organs was broken. However, the most shocking part was the fact his True Soul was still there. Badly hurt and paralyzed by white lightning.

Ezequiel Entropy Regiis Unus Invictus managed to defeat and capture alive a Law Engraving existence at the 5th Engraving Stage!

Zatiel did not lose time and used the Rebirth Eye to push the human's True Soul into his Nightmare Rebirth, making sure he could not pose any form of threat before collecting him in his space ring.

He did not care if the human was good or bad. The Neo-Demons' Ancestor would show no mercy to anyone who was an enemy of a member of his race.

It will still be a long time until Zatiel's utopian universe, where everyone can live in peace and harmony, is a reality.

He and everybody else still lived in the cruel universe where it did not matter if the enemy was good or bad. It only mattered if he was dead or alive.

"That boy is special. His destiny is already greater than many Rank 7 life forms when they were still bound to their lifespan. If it keeps growing, his Prima Laws' Baptism will be impressive."

The Neo-Demons' Ancestor looked at the origin of the voice and saw Hades glancing at Ezequiel. The ancient Being of Laws' eyes shone with approval before closing them and focusing once again on recovering.

Zatiel nodded after hearing Hades' words. He and the ancient Being of Laws disdained things like fate but had the utmost respect for destiny.

Fate was just a force that sought to suppress everybody and make them act according to its will, but destiny was utterly different.

Destiny was an illusory and intangible concept, but not even those who stood above the Prima Universe's Laws could negate its existence. It wasn't static, and the most significant factor for its greatness was no one but yourself.

An individual's destiny was born from his conviction, talent, strength, courage, and the will to face every danger and take all the lucky changes in his path no matter the risk.

Only those who never surrender, whose hearts remain strong even when they face great dangers and constantly seek to increase their potential, could see their destiny rise.

Take Ezequiel's last fight as an example. While one party was waiting and attempting to take the easy path, the other attacked the moment he detected the enemy.

By having the courage and will not to be intimidated by the difference in cultivation and numbers, the Supreme Neo-Demon took advantage of the enemy's lack of preparation and struck a heavy blow from the start.

And things did not end there. The pressure of the battle and the danger of death allowed Ezequiel's potential to burst, pushing his Law of Strength and Law of Inner Force to the Initial level, allowing him to fuse with his Law Avatar.

Zatiel's trip to the Blood Fortress was another example of destiny. By not allowing the danger of a Rank 6 life form to cloud his judgment and overcoming adversity, he obtained the resources to assist him in his breakthrough to Rank 5 with his True Doomsday Body's Path of Power.

The Neo-Demons' Ancestor inspected the Supreme Neo-Demon with the Rebirth Eye. In a few seconds, he got an accurate idea of Ezequiel's condition and battle power.

'He already sealed three Apocalyptic Stars, so his True Doomsday Body's Path of Power is at Late Rank 4. The True Soul reached the Fourth Origin Cycle, and at this speed, in a few years, he will reach Peak Rank 4 in that Path of Power. By fusing with his Law Avatar, his battle power should be equal to a Demon Marquess. However, he can only maintain One with the Law active for a brief time due to his Soul Origin's scarce reserves.'

Capturing Hiro alive was much more complicated than just killing him. It meant that Ezequiel could push his battle power above the 5th Engraving Stage.

Of course, things would have been much different if the Supreme Neo-Demon burned his soul or life force to increase his strength. Nevertheless, while he was indeed full of injuries, all those wounds could heal with time, even if he used no treasure of heavenly panacea.

Actually, Ezequiel had begun his healing process the moment he fell unconscious. The Rebirth Eye could see the Supreme Neo-Demon's body swallowing immense amounts of natural energy and Origin Power while white lightning enhanced his regenerative abilities.

Zatiel looked at Ezequiel for a moment before opening his mouth and letting nine drops of burning purple blood come out from it. His face grew pale immediately, but it was nothing serious, and in a few weeks, he would be fine.

Three drops of purple blood entered the Supreme Neo-Demon's soul dimension while the rest went to his brain, hearts, lungs, and stomach. Thanks to them, Ezequiel will be in peak condition in weeks instead of months.

After helping the Supreme Neo-Demon and taking care of the alien life form, Zatiel did not waste time and returned to the Soul Throne.

He spent another year deciphering the mysteries of his bloodline before the Law of Rebirth finally reached the Initial Level.

The Neo-Demon's law comprehension was not the only thing enhanced during this period of secluded training. His True Soul had reached the Fourth Origin Cycle, and his body was ready to seal the third Apocalyptic Star.

Zatiel's eyes were closed as he focused on the True Doomsday Body's twin heaven that belonged to his lungs and began to inject Elemental Chaos in it.

In the Neo-Demon Realm's void, a whirlwind appeared above a star overflowed by waves of what could only be described as liquid darkness.

A dark marble appeared in each of Zatiel's lungs a few seconds after the whirlwind swallowed the star.

Once the Star Consciousness broke apart and Zatiel built his third Apocalyptic Star, darkness began to fuse with the oxygen inside the Neo-Demon's lungs.

Shadows appeared all over Zatiel's body, covering everything from him other than his eyes.

An odd smile appeared on the Neo-Demon's face as he thought how similar his current looks was to that of his former life as the Incarnation of Death and Destruction.

Of course, Zatiel did not choose a Darkness Constitution due to its appearance.

Now that the force of darkness filled every cell of his body, he would be able to automatically swallow the energy of his surroundings, improving his stamina.

Another ability of his Darkness Constitution was to harness the intangible aspect of the Law of Darkness into his body, which will reduce any physical damage he sustained while also increasing his speed, dexterity, and hiding his presence.

All those gifts were only half of the reason why he chose this type of constitution. The other was that once his True Soul's Path of Power reached Rank 5, he will be able to train a unique form of Sacred Body of Laws that would be a perfect match with a Darkness Constitution.
