?Chapter 1751 Umbrasol's Past 2
Supreme World of Darkness was simply too strong. Going against them was no different than suicide, even if they had grown to their limit and Umbrasol now was stronger than ever, facing a Supreme World was absolutely impossible.
They had to give up; they had no other choice.
Although it was frustrating to admit it, in the end, the Progenitors of Umbrasol had to accept reality, and they did accept reality. They got rid of all their thoughts of going against the Supreme World of Darkness and eventually surpassing it.
But then...
Another entity visited them...
An ethereal figure with a white, translucent body, his features were blurry, almost nothing could be said about his race, bloodline, age, or anything. It was just a humanoid figure with four limbs, a body structure similar to what the most stable beings in this Universe had.
None of the Umbrasol Progenitors could recognize this entity. Yes, even with their vast knowledge and hundreds of thousands of years of exploring outer space, their minds couldn't even link this entity to some world or race, let alone recognize it.
However...
Nux was different.
Unlike the Umbrasol Progenitors, he recognized this entity.
Zylarith Chaosveil.
Yes, his 'soul father!
"What the hell is he doing here...?'
Nux narrowed his eyes and continued to watch.
What he was watching was no different than a recording. No matter what he thought or did, nothing would change here.
Not that he was in a position to do anything anyway. Right now, it was best not to think too much and observe.
One thing Nux did note was that one of the Primordial Energies became much more violent the moment his 'father' stepped into Umbrasol.
Before, Nux wasn't able to tell what this energy was; however, with his father's background, it wasn't difficult to identify this energy.
'Primordial Energy of Chaos.
Chaos represented disorder, and Nux, who had seen how the Primordial Energy of Chaos affects a world before, knew that his father coming to Umbrasol was not good
news for this world.
One thing to note here was that Nux's father was in his Soul Form, so despite being a Progenitor of a once Supreme Level World, he was extremely weak right now.
Honestly, if it was any other world, this being might have had a way to get out of a dangerous position. But in Umbrasol, where these people dealt with Death and Soul on a regular basis, this was probably the worst matchup for Zylarith.
However, this didn't stop the Chaos Progenitor.
He walked into Umbrasol without fear and was quickly surrounded. He was about to get killed, but then,
Zylarith opened his mouth,
"Do you want to surpass the Supreme Worlds?"
In an instant, the attitude shifted.
Of course, the people of Umbrasol weren't foolish; they wouldn't just trust any random man who appeared out of nowhere, however....
This being...
After a single conversation with him, the Progenitors of Umbrasol realized that this being was anything but just any random being.
The Umbrasol Progenitors weren't exactly arrogant, but they did take pride in their knowledge.
They had spent almost all their lives researching and experimenting, trying to understand how the Universe worked. Sure, most of their research was related to Death and Death Energy. However, this didn't change the fact that they were extremely intelligent and full of wisdom.
However, the more they conversed with this ethereal entity, the more they realized how... pitiful of an existence they were.
They, who had been actively seeking knowledge for more than a million years now, realized that in front of this being, their knowledge was nothing. This being seemed to know everything they knew and more.
It was as if nothing could surprise him.
This being was... Omniscient.
Yes, just like that, Zylarith managed to implant his image as an 'Absolute Being into Umbrasol's Progenitors' minds.
After this, whatever he said, they believed it blindly.
Of course, this didn't mean Zylarith wasn't cautious or that the Progenitors of Umbrasol were foolish enough to do something that might harm them in the future. After all, as much as they respected Zylarith and wanted to learn from him, they were still the
leaders of their world.
They couldn't just abandon their responsibilities.
Fortunately, or unfortunately, everything Zylarith did tell them indeed helped Umbrasol. Their strength, which had reached its potential, grew even further.
From one of the strongest High-Level Worlds, Umbrasol was turning into the Strongest High-Level World.
It was then, Zylarith, who had already won the Umbrasol's Progenitors' trust in these last
few hundred thousand
shook his head,
"It is not possible to surpass the Supreme Worlds."
Hearing those words, the Umbrasol Progenitors lowered their heads in disappointment.
Even an Omniscient being cannot do what is simply impossible, huh...
They realized it, but then,
"Unless..."
Zylarith spoke, and in an instant, his words attracted the Progenitors' attention.
"Unless?"
"Unless you become a Supreme World yourself."
"What...?"
The Umbrasol Progenitors blinked their eyes in surprise.
If it was anyone else who had said such an absurd statement, they would have killed him already for wasting their time. However, since the one saying these words was Zylarith,
their reaction was different.
"That is... possible...?"
"Can a High-Level World become a Supreme Level World...?"
They were having a hard time believing it.
They all stared at Zylarith, their hopes up.
Zylarith, however, shook his head,
"It has never happened before."
The Umbrasol Progenitors, who understood the intent behind his words, commented,
"That doesn't mean it is not possible."
"It is still just a theory; it was never tested before."
"Please tell us what we have to do."
"The difference between a High-Level World and a Supreme Level World is the amount
of energy both worlds have.
If that difference can be reduced, or better yet, the amount of energy the two worlds
have can be leveled, then in theory, there would be no difference between the two
worlds, and both worlds will be considered Supreme Worlds.
Of course, since the difference of energy between each World Tier is so high, there is no
point thinking about this matter. However,
Your case is different."
"Death Energy..."
One of the Progenitors muttered.
"Yes."
Zylarith nodded.
"Death Energy is one of the few energies that can continue to accumulate automatically
if left alone. The more this energy accumulates, the more it would attract. So if we somehow store this energy and let it accumulate for... millions of years...
Then using that energy, it is indeed possible to become a Supreme World, and once that happens, surpassing them would be in your own hands. I cannot help you with that; after all, you are the masters of Death Energy, not me."
Zylarith smiled. The Progenitors, however, frowned.
"But..."
"The problem with this is that we do not have a way to store the Death Energy.
And yes, there is no known way to do this, so don't look at me with such hopeful eyes."
Zylarith shrugged.
Then, he glanced at the Progenitors and,
"But we do have beings who understand Death Energy like no other, and someone who knows about almost everything in this Universe.
With your knowledge about Death Energy, and with me here, who knows about where
the finest craftsmen who could be of help to you can be found,
I don't think creating what we need would pose a challenge, no?" Zylarith spoke, and as if his words were divine revelations, the Progenitors' eyes shined
brightly.
In an instant, the world started. Once again, the Progenitors buried themselves in their
research.
Their goal?
To find a way to store Death Energy.
Time passed by.
Tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands, hundreds of thousands of years passed by,
and the result?
The Progenitors found something that stored Death Energy to its fullest potential.
It was their bodies.
The Physique they had developed at the start, the Eclipse Bone Physique, allowed them
to store and control the Death Energy so efficiently that even the best materials known for storing energy couldn't be compared to their own bodies.
The answer was right in front of them all this time, and it wasn't like they didn't try. The
Progenitors did their best, trying to find something that could handle the Death Energy as efficiently as them.
They even tried to understand why it was their Physique that could do it so well, in
order to use that knowledge to create something capable of storing Death Energy. But in the end, the answer remained the same.
If they wanted to create something that could store enough Death Energy to strengthen
Umbrasol and turn it into a Supreme World,
They needed Eclipse Bone Physique.
And no, they tried to use the Physique of their children with the purest bloodlines. They
even tried to recreate the Physique artificially, but nothing worked.
To store enough Death Energy, Eclipse Bone Physique of the Progenitor was needed. Once this was confirmed, Umbrasol Progenitors stared at each other.
Their children were afraid, unsure of what would happen next. However...
The Umbrasol Progenitors came up with a decision relatively quickly.
The weakest of them all stepped forward, willing to sacrifice himself for the greater good. The rest of the Progenitors nodded.
These beings began experimenting, this time, with their own bodies to find a way to externalize the unparalleled capacity of their Eclipse Bone Physique.
The process was long, gruelling, and full of failures, but after relentless experiments,
they finally came up with a ritual that would allow them to replicate the properties of their bodies into a limitless vessel.
The weakest Progenitor prepared himself.
The ritual required a Progenitor to undergo a transformation that involved breaking
down his physical form into its purest essence. The Eclipse Bone Physique, the source of their ability to store Death Energy, had to be refined and crystallized. The ritual required rare materials capable of stabilizing such immense energy: Void Obsidian Stones, Soulforged Chains, Essence of Nightshade-different materials
with different properties were gathered to complete the process.
Once everything was collected, the ritual started.
During the ritual, the Progenitor's body was subjected to a process called Essence
Condensation, where their Eclipse Bone Physique was shattered into molecular
fragments.
These fragments were infused with an endless amount of Death Energy that all the beings of Umbrasol released at the same time.
"AAAGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!"
The Progenitor screamed in agony. His bones and tissues disintegrated, leaving behind a
radiant crystalline core-a condensed and purified form of his essence.
A Crystal that retained the properties of the Eclipse Bone Physique. They named this Crystal Necrocore, and after a few more experiments, the Necrocore's
properties were revealed:
Infinite Capacity: Unlike any other artifact, the Necrocore could store limitless amounts of Death Energy, making it the ultimate source of power. Energy Amplification: Death Energy stored within the Necrocore was not merely
preserved-it was refined, making it more potent and lethal than its raw form.
Unbreakable Form: The crystal's structure, forged from the essence of the Eclipse Bone
Physique, was unaffected by physical and magical attacks. Corruptive Aura: The Necrocore emitted a passive field of Death Energy, corrupting
everything around it. This aura made it nearly impossible for normal entities to approach it.
It was a success.
The Progenitors had created what they needed. Sure, they had to sacrifice one of them
in order to achieve that, but it was a death full of glory-a death he could be proud of.
Once the Necrocore was created, the Progenitors, who had placed it at the very centre of the world, started feeding it with Death Energy. Of course, the Necrocore itself continued to absorb more and more Death Energy, getting stronger in the process. This continued for hundreds of thousands of years, and in all these years, Necrocore had
indeed gathered an absurd amount of energy.
The amount of energy it had gathered was almost comparable to what Umbrasol had. It
was quite shocking, even for the Umbrasol Progenitors, who didn't expect the energy to gather at this rate. An interesting thing to note was that because of their connection with the dead Progenitor, the Umbrasol Progenitors were connected to the Necrocore. Therefore, they could use the energy it had collected as their own.
Yes, the amount of energy that was comparable to a High-Level World's Energy... these
beings could use it without any problems...
The Progenitors of Umbrasol were indeed at their strongest.
Until one day...
An entity broke into Umbrasol.
An entity so strong that within a moment, all beings in Umbrasol were subdued.
The entity, whose facial features couldn't be seen since they were covered by a strange darkness, then moved towards the Necrocore.
"This is supposed to be indestructible, eh?"
The entity muttered, his voice echoing throughout Umbrasol as it then placed its hand
on the Necrocore and,
"Should I test it out?"
The entity chuckled, and then...
Crack
The indestructible Necrocore cracked, and the absurd amount of Death Energy that was
stored inside it....
Started leaking out.
