That unique universe needed a powerful race that could surpass all others with their strength and accept everything and everyone as a part of it.
One race where the concepts like segregation, racism, or xenophobia were considered absurd and incomprehensible.
The leader of this race must be a powerful entity, one strong enough to cover the entire universe under his might and with a heart that cared for every single one of his people.
There were plenty more things needed for this utopic universe to be born, but those two are the core, and without them, everything else would be aningless.
Zatiel's eyes shone, his smile grew wider, and his aura overflowed happiness and excitent. For the first ti in a very long ti, he had another ultimate goal other than to win the final battle for the Prima Universe's destiny.
"Hahahaha." The Neo-Demon began to laugh, and this ti, his joy was the one that started to affect the people of the Daybreak Clan. Soon, millions of people of different heritages and bloodlines began to laugh, and happiness invaded everybody's heart.
The laughter lasted a few monts, but even after it ended, a smile remained on everybody's faces.
Zatiel looked at the child whose innocence had helped him so much, and there was kindness in his eyes. He made a small orb made of purple fire appear before implanting it in Nihil's heart.
The orb will temper the boy's soul and body, and in case of an ergency, it would fire a spell capable of killing anything beneath Rank 5.
"Go back to your parents, little brat."
Nihil imdiately nodded before going back to his mother, and there was a prideful smile on his face. He did not really know what happened but understood that Zatiel's mood improved after his words, so he took it as an outstanding achievent.
Zatiel noticed the boy's behavior, and his smile only grew brighter as he shook his head with amusent. His unique Mind Force perated the bunker, and a sense of extre comfort filled his soul as he felt the heart of people who would die to protect the place they call ho.
"You have all shown your spirits and that you can put the race before the individual. I will now transform you into one of my kind and grant you the most extraordinary talent of the universe. The only thing that could stop you from immortality is whether or not your will can equal that of the universe."
The Sunlight Champions' eyes widened, and excitent filled their hearts. Many of them have heard about how the mighty dragonborns that resided in the City of the Sun's core were once kobolds that evolved after proving Zatiel their loyalty.
Of course, they have not heard about the Neo-Demon race or Chaotic-Core. Most of them believed that Zatiel's had purified the kobolds' bloodline through extre atavism.
"The process could be dangerous if your willpower is not strong enough. I will use my consciousness to test your wills and temper the ones that had yet to reach the level required. Everybody, adopt a ditative position and concentrate."
The Sunlight Champions followed Zatiel's instructions. From the children to the elders, they all sat down.
The Neo-Demon consciousness covered the entire bunker, and by empowering it with his Mind Force, he was able to create millions of whips that assaulted everybody's souls.
He was cautious, staring with little force and slowly raising it. Zatiel monitored their conditions to make sure not to harm anybody. It was exhausting, but he was in a great mood, and his body, energy, and soul were at their peak.
....
In absolute contrast to the peaceful aura of the City of the Sun, a slaughter occurred in a small Blood Rift's stronghold.
A Rank 4 Quira Demon had assaulted it, killing the leader and all those who could fight, and he was now seizing the lesser demons beneath him. There was bloodlust in his eyes, but he did not dare to lose control and captured as many individuals alive as possible.
There was a smile on his face as he saw the demons' futile attempt of running away. The difference in power was too high, and it was just a matter of ti before they either perish or were captured.
All of a sudden, the Quira Demon's eyes narrowed, and his energy exploded as he noticed the four individuals that appeared out of nowhere and were now surrounding him.
The Quira Demon felt the powerful soul force of those individuals and was able to discern their appearance. They all had youthful looks born out of their thriving life force, and their cultivation had reached Rank 5.
The Rank 4 Demon was going to obey his nature and act base on his instinct. He would shot in one direction, attack the youth guarding that path and do everything in his power to escape. It was a simple but effective plan.
Unfortunately, before the Quira Demon could take a single step forward, flaming chains fell from the sky. He attempted to fight back, but their power and speed were too much for a Rank 4 life form, even one with King Demonic Bloodline.
"Ahhhhh. Filthy humans, release now!" The Rank 4 Demon felt imnse pain due to the chains, but he still had the energy to bark. Anyone could tell he was in no position to give orders, but that did not stop him.
"Silence filthy thing." Along with that voice, an extraordinary soul force ca crashing down on the Quira Demon, and the power it carried was enough to suffocate him.
The origin of that soul force was a slender man with long dark hair. His face was handso and had a middle-aged man's characteristics, with moving shadows encompassing his eyes.
The Quira Demon could not speak under the pressure of this man, but despite his unfavorable situation, there was no fear in his eyes, only madness and killing intent.
The middle-aged man stared at the demon's eyes and saw the burning wrath and desire to kill in them. He felt disgusted and wanted to kill him, but his mission ca first.
"You are in luck, demon. If you answer so of my questions, I will let you live."
As a demon who had awoken his True Soul, the Quira Demon had enough wisdom to know how to behave in this type of situation. His eyes still burned with killing intent, but he nodded, indicating for the human to make his question.
The man focused on the Quira Demon while the four youths closed in. While all of them were at Rank 5, the middle-aged man's strength was much higher than the others.
"Tell everything you know about Evil City. Be precise about the magic defenses, the presence of hidden entrances, and the number of powerful life forms living in it."
The Quira Demon's eyes widened when he heard that question. The five humans could see how terror appeared in the face of the Rank 4 Demon. His breathing beca rough, and in a matter of seconds, cold sweat had soaked his body.
The middle-aged man and the youths were surprised by the violent reaction of the Quira Demon. A few monts ago, he was a killing machine that felt no fear even after being captured, but he was now shaking like a little girl.
"AHHHH!"
The Quira Demon roared, and what happened next shocked the humans to the core. The Rank 4 Demon's head exploded, and his soul dinsion and True Soul shattered.
"Master Hito, what happened!?" A young man with crimson hair and green eyes made that question to the middle-aged man. He examined the surroundings but felt nothing and could not understand what provoked the Quira Demon's bizarre death.
The rest of the youths also used their consciousness to explore the fortress and everything around them, but like the crimson-haired man, they found nothing.
The middle-aged man remained silent for a few minutes and analyzed everything before finally answering the youths' doubts.
"It was not an external force that ended his life. The Quira Demon was so terrified of that monster that he chose to kill himself rather than betray him."
A somber expression appeared in the youths' faces when they heard those words. An entity capable of infusing such terror into a demon's heart was not soone they could underestimate.
