After winning the battle of wills, Ezequiel coated Irik's body in white lightning and submerged into the lava, deep enough that even the perception of a Rank 9 life form would not find him. Demodands were extremely territorial, so the chance that someone would come to this part of Carceri was low, but it was better to be safe than to be sorry.
Once Ezequiel was sure he was safe, he looted all of Irik's belongings before adopting a meditative position and awakening his True Doomsday Body.
The black humanoid inside the Infinity Heart opened his eyes as a monstrous power emerged from him and reached the black die in Ezequiel's stomach.
An invisible force enveloped Irik's body and teleported it the next second. The Demodand appeared inside the Astral Black Hole inside Ezequiel's stomach, and immediately waves after waves of Astral Origin and Elemental Chaos began to flood it.
Those waves not only carried an immense amount of energy, but they also contained a devastating pressure that slowly began to shatter the Demodand.
Usually, during any destruction, some forces would be lost, but due to the unique nature of the Astral Black Hole, that did not happen. Not even an iota of Irik's essence escaped the black die. On the contrary, it began to compress in the die's center, forming a shining plasma core, similar to a mighty sun.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe Astral Black Hole still had its completely black appearance on the outside, but inside it glowed with the might of a supernova. The origin of that light was the plasma core that contained the essence of Irik's body, soul, Inner Universe, and Omega Law.
Ezequiel felt how a raging torrent of Astral Origin emerged from the Astral Black Hole into the Infinity Heart, from where they reached every corner of his body, improving his physical might more and more.
Things did not end there as black lava flooded Ezequiel's stomach. That lava was a physical manifestation of Irik's Omega Law!
The Law of Darkness, Law of Destruction, and Law of Fire were Irik's Omega Law core components. The Demodand would use the devouring power of the Law of Darkness to bring into him all forms of energy and matters, where the Omega Law would transform them into pure force that could either enhance the Law of Destruction or Law of Fire.
If Irik channeled that force into the Law of Destruction, he would exponentially enhance his offensive might. On the other hand, if he were to direct it into the Law of Fire, he would overload his body with vitality and purify his flesh and blood.
An Omega Law that was capable of exponentially enhancing your regeneration and offensive powers while at the same time replenishing your energy.
Simple, yet highly efficient and powerful.
Those words described Irik's Omega Law to perfection. Thanks to it, the Demodand could unleash such an immense battle power even after Ezequiel destroyed his heart.
Now that fantastic ability was ingrained into the Supreme Neo-Demon's body!
Ezequiel only opened his eyes after twenty-four years, as his raging Astral Origin calmed down and cultivation stabilized. He had completed his First Ignition, the True Doomsday Body Path of Power equivalent to the Peak Void Stage True Soul Path of Power.
A large smile appeared on Ezequiel's face as he felt the massive upgrade in his physical might and the power he could now unleash. He then opened his mouth and began to devour oceans of lava, transforming all of them into a soaring vitality.
The battle with Irik's left severe wounds on the Supreme Neo-Demon's body. While his regeneration abilities were superb, due to the power of his flesh and blood, he required a lot of energy and time to regenerate them.
Igniting the first Astral Black Hole helped him a lot, and using the black lava in his stomach, made everything go much faster. He spent two months indiscriminately devouring the lava that filled the dimension and only stopped once he had fully healed.
Irik's domains were not any less than a Low World, but the Supreme Neo-Demon still managed to devour almost a third of its lava.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEzequiel rose from the ground, and the first thing he did next was to spread his perception through the dimension. The Rank 8 battle destroyed almost everything, but what was left was bound to be valuable.
Once Ezequiel collected all that was left of value in the dimension, he channeled the power of his Outer Origin and teleported light-years away from Carceri's range of influence.
Carceri was a Principal Plane with Eternal Detachment existence in it. Ezequiel needed to be careful once he left, as powerful consciousnesses surrounded the plane.
Without wasting a second, continue teleporting away from Carceri, moving deeper into the Prima Universe. He also used his Inner Origin Essence to hide his presence as he advanced.
The Supreme Neo-Demon knew that his battle power was not high enough yet to roam the universe without worry. Although the Dark Tower and Immortal Alliance members would not dare to challenge him due to Zatiel's influence, the powerhouses beneath the evil Primarchs would actively hunt him for that exact reason.
'My battle power should be at the Late Beyond Falsehood Stage now. If I were to fuse with Entropy, I could push to the peak, maybe reaching the Early Beyond Limit Stage if I were to go all out and burn my life force.'
The higher the Rank, the harder it is to jump levels in battle power. Before, fusing with Entropy and burning his life force would have granted the Supreme Neo-Demon an upgrade of an entire level, but now it barely allowed him to cross into the next one.
As Ezequiel thought about Entropy, he focused on a tiny pearl inside his Bloodline Heart. That was a unique artifact with a stable dimension almost as large as a Middle World, and the only thing inside it was a white blood moon that glowed with a majestic magic matrix.
Ezequiel immediately flooded the dimension with all the resources he obtained from Carceri. The blood moon swallowed most of them while assimilating the Rank 7 and Rank 8 Artifacts, improving the already fantastic magic matrix.
Once Ezequiel saw that Entropy's evolution carried on without a problem, he focused on a distant point in the void as battle intent appeared in his eyes.
'The Titan World.'
