285 Artificial Bloodline (2/2)
The Shooting Star bloodline was impressive, especially the constitution it granted to the owner, but what the Neo-Demon sought was the culmination of duality, something that could fuse with his Daybreak bloodline and help him take one step closer in that direction.
Unfortunately for Zatiel, such a bloodline did not exist in the universe. Not even the ones birthed by that giant sun fulfilled his requirements. But to the Incarnation of Death and Destruction, there was not such a thing as impossible. Since the bloodline that he wanted did not exist, he would create it.
The bloodline running inside the Archangel was one Zatiel built with the help of the baernaloths. The greatest magic knowledge was used to create a bloodline in which he deposited all of his understanding of the three great laws he used to wreak havoc in the entire universe.
Due to the nature of that bloodline, it needed an incubator to be completed, and which better than the sun cocoon in a Garden of Creation.
The reason why the runic lines did not enter the sun cocoon was that there was no need to act in it since the Archangel had fallen in Zatiel's machinations hundreds of thousands of years ago, the instant the Garden of Creation fed him with his first stream of Origin Power.
The moment the Incarnation of Death and Destruction inscribed the World Rune: Usurpation of the World Consciousness in Juxis, he had also left the artificial bloodline in the world's origin. This one remained dormant until the Being of Laws of the Heavenly race terraformed the world, and then piece by piece, it began to enter the sun cocoon mixed in the Origin Power.
Zatiel created a hole in the sun cocoon and saw a man sitting inside it. He had black hair that extended all the way to his waist and a beautiful face. However, despite his youthful appearance, he had pale white skin and cloudy eyes, as if he lacked the most important thing to a living being. The reason for this was his soul, that was just an agglomeration of soul force incapable of forming an ego.
The state of the Archangel's soul was not a mistake. The artificial bloodline only needed a container and had made sure the life form containing it could not develop a consciousness or individuality.
The Neo-Demon did not care about the Archangel's appearance. His eyes were focused on the wings in his back. They were eight magnificent wings, filled with dark crystal feathers, each of the carved with thousands of small white runes in constant movement.
Those wings gave the illusion of being the night sky during a meteor shower. A destructive aura surrounded them, and their defensive power was not inferior to a Pseudo-Rank 5 Artifact.
Zatiel entered the sun cocoon and closed the entrance behind him. He sat in front of the Archangel, and his Chaotic-Core began to rotate and release a swallowing force.
The Archangel's body trembled, and then dots of red energy began to arise from him and travel to Zatiel's Elemental Chaos Heart. Those dots contained the body, soul, and energy of the Archangel, and they were slowly nourishing the Neo-Demon and changing his bloodline.
'I have eliminated everything that could be used to track me, and my transformation will take a while, so I guess it is time to leave.' Zatiel snapped his finger, and then the runic lines that filled the Beta Heavenly World irradiated a light so potent that it could be seen for millions of kilometers past the Crystal Wall.
'A golden sun filled with life and creation and a star of death and destruction that could cover it. I like the way that sounds.'
That was the last thought Zatiel had before the entire Beta Heavenly World disappeared, leaving an empty section of space surrounded by elemental chaos.
