303 Invinctus V (2/2)

Those words reached every corner of the City of the Sun, and everyone could feel the resolution in them.

The Supreme Neo-Demon's eyes shone, and a red flame appeared on his chest as Blood Essence Combustion was activated. His strength grew greatly, but he had not finished yet.

”Burn: Life Vessel.”

His Elemental Chaos Heart and Bloodline Heart pounded faster and faster until finally reaching a beating rate of 8000 beats per minute. The power with which his hearts pulsated was so great that sounds equal to thunder could be heard above the City of the Sun.

Every man, woman, and child focused on Ezequiel, and they felt their own hearts beating faster as they saw one of the two men that carry the weight of the Daybreak Clan on their shoulders displaying such might.

”We live in a cruel and merciless universe, and the only way to survive in it is to be equally ruthless!. No matter who gets in our way, whether they are gods, buddhas, demons, devils, or angels, we will butcher them all, and with their blood, we will carve our path to eternity. If any of you think you are not capable of doing that, then how can you consider yourself worthy of being one of us!?.”

Ezequiel's words were packed with savageness and cruelty. However, there was something else, something all those who had come from Wasteland had experienced, but that decades of peace and comfort had made them forget. That feeling was hunger.

Hunger for power!.

They still trained and focused on growing stronger, but they did not behave like they did when they still strived to survive in Wasteland, where they passed every single moment wanting more strength, where the only desire that guided their actions was to become stronger!.

The Supreme Neo-Demon still had his sight on the Sand Dragon, but he could feel the resolution that appeared in the eyes of the people beneath him.

”Primordial Condensation.”

Ezequiel's body shrank, and in less than a second, he went from four hundred and fifty meters to only fifteen meters.

Contrary to his size, his strength only increased, and the natural energy and Origin Power of the world began to converge in him. Thanks to his body now fusing with part of his energy and consciousness, he was able to harmonize with the world and everything that surrounded him.

The Supreme Neo-Demon reached his most powerful state, but that wasn't good enough.

”Tribulations and calamities will follow us in every part of our journey. Sometimes it only takes one wrong turn for everything to be over, and even the most glorious destiny can end in an instant.”

Every member of the Daybreak Clan focused on the words of the Supreme Neo-Demon, and even the Soul Forging existences like Totto and Nero that were currently in the City of the Sun were not different.

Ezequiel took a deep breath and closed his eyes before pushing Primordial Condensation beyond its limits, and slowly the body of the Neo-Demon began to condensate once again.

The connection formed by energy, body, and consciousness began to improve with every centimeter he was able to shorten.

This process was not easy for the Neo-Demon since he was forcefully enhancing the fusion of his centers of power, and every second he felt as if his consciousness was being hammered over and over again. The pain he was feeling did not fall short of the one that tearing a piece of his soul would provoke, but Ezequiel kept pushing forward.

”The only way to predict the future is to be powerful enough to forge it according to your will. To be so strong that space and time can only bow to you. That is the level all of us must reach, in order to be truly free!”
