Chapter 500 - Fifth Apocalyptic Star (END)
The golden humanoid's entire body glowed with silver light as he threw a punch charged with all his might, colliding with the T-Rex's head.
A silver and azure shockwave left the Peak Tier 7 Star's soul dimension, extending out of the heaven and reaching Ezequiel's brain.
Blood leaked from the Supreme Neo-Demon's nose and eyes when that happened, and the damage would have been much worse if it wasn't for the Mind Force protecting his brain.
Despite the pain, Ezequiel's True Will showed no sign of backing down and only increased the fierceness of his attacks.
Both spiritual entities fought with all their might. Ripped limbs, severed wings, pieces of azure, and golden flesh covered the Peak Tier 7 Star's soul dimension.
"BOOOMMMM!" An explosion that shook the entire soul dimension marked the end of the battle.
Ezequiel's True Will blasted the azure T-Rex head with a final punch in which he put every ounce of power left inside his body.
Exhaustion filled the golden humanoid's face, but his eyes still glowed with silver light as he looked at the broken Star Consciousness that the True Doomsday Body would soon devour.
The adjustment period for Ezequiel was a little over two months as the power of his Apocalyptic Star was superior to the one inside Zatiel's brain.
During that time, Zatiel did not stop sending Rebirth Force into the Supreme Neo-Demon's brain, healing the damage the battle caused.
Once the azure membrane finished enveloping his brain and his Astral Origin stopped its wild rise, Ezequiel opened his eyes.
A wave of physical strength and Astral Origin emerged from inside Invictus' body, making the cave's walls crack and generating minor fractures in space.
Zatiel's eyes widened when he saw the level of physical power Ezequiel reached after sealing his fifth Apocalyptic Star.
'When it comes to the corporeal center of power, the body, I fall behind by a considerable margin.'
Ezequiel's body was more powerful than Zatiel's.
Of course, that did not mean Invictus was stronger than Daybreak. After all, Zatiel's principal center of power was the soul.
Their powers advanced considerably, and although testing their true strength against eldritch life forms tempted them, they were not over yet with their True Doomsday Body Path of Power.
Daybreak and Invictus stared at each other and nodded before leaving the cave and heading to a Tier 1 Stronghold controlled by the Magi World. They needed to return to the Neo-Demon Realm.
The duo faced no problem in the stronghold and used the teleportation formation back to the Dark Tower. Everybody knew their connection with Dean Rebellion, and no one wanted to offend such a powerful monster.
Using the Dark Tower's teleportation formation, they returned to the Magi World and immediately left for the Daybreak Tower, from where they traveled to the Neo-Demon Realm.
The duo did not waste time and quickly used the NRAI to enter the Will Forging Sea.
Giant waves made of negative emotions clashed against Invictus and Daybreak's bodies, but to Moon Shatterers like them, they were no different from hearing the ocean's sound.
Zatiel and Ezequiel flew toward the Final Purgatory and positioned themselves under the base of that giant pyramid. They both adopted meditative positions and focused on their True Doomsday Bodies.
When a Neo-Demon formed their fifth Apocalyptic Star and finished all the fixed heavens, they reached a significant bottleneck. Standard life forms' bodies don't have the capability to withstand more celestial bodies sealed inside them.
Even Ezequiel, with his unique constitution, would have a hard time handling the pressure of a new Apocalyptic Star. Although his physical stats would increase, the Supreme Neo-Demon could not fully use the power inside his body.
To break through the body's limits and reach an even higher level as a life form, the Neo-Demon must form a supreme artifact with their blood vitality and Astral Origin as the basis.
Usually, even a genius Neo-Demon would wait until right before sealing the sixth Apocalyptic Star to start this process due to the immense demand on their bodies and wills.
However, both Zatiel and Ezequiel were ready to start immediately. This decision did not come from recklessness but a firm belief in themselves.
First, the Neo-Demons focused on the Apocalyptic Star in their stomach. The dodecahedrons began to rotate faster and faster, glowing with golden light due to the dense Astral Origin gathered around them.
Zatiel and Ezequiel felt how a pillar of Astral Origin emerged from their stomachs and connected with the Apocalyptic Stars in their livers.
Both Neo-Demons frowned at the feeling of an immensely dense amount of energy gathering inside their organs.
The Apocalyptic Stars in their livers also began to revolve at an accelerated rate once the pillars of Astral Origin connected with them.
After a few minutes, two pillars emerged from each of their livers and connected with their lungs.
The duo trembled, and pain appeared in their faces. Even Rank 5 Demon Lords would have exploded if this amount of heavy and dense energy had gathered inside them.
The duo, on the contrary, regained control in a matter of seconds and continued with the process.
Two pillars of Astral Origin emerged from the lungs and connected with the Twin Heaven Apocalyptic Star in the Bloodline Heart and Elemental Chaos Heart.
Blood leaked from Zatiel and Ezequiel's mouths. Still, they did not hesitate for even an instant before controlling the red dodecahedrons inside their hearts and making them fire a combined pillar of Astral Origin into the Apocalyptic Star inside their brains.
The heavy and dense golden energy circulated from the fifth Apocalyptic Star to the first and then back up, forming a circuit where the Astral Origin grew thicker and purer.
With the pressure inside their bodies increasing more and more, blood now leaked from every orifice in the Neo-Demons' faces, but they just kept pushing forward.
Golden lights appeared in their skins, making it seem that there was a constellation trapped inside them.
"ROAR!"
"ROAR!"
Once they felt the Astral Origin inside them reached its peak, Invictus and Daybreak roared with all their strength as they directed their vitality, Astral Origin, and the power of their Apocalyptic Stars to the place between their two hearts.
It was time to form the Infinity Heart!
