Zatiel's lancholy faded as he rembered why he ca here. A smile slowly erged as a sense of happiness and pride filled his heart, and he stared directly at the World Tree.
"He is growing very well. Although due to his lack of awareness, his battle power is almost non-existent, his existence has already reached the Peak Soul Realm."
Taking more than a thousand years to reach the Peak Soul Realm did not sound good for any genius, especially soone special as the World Tree's sole descendant. That was if you asured him according to usual standards.
The sapling required much more energy than other life forms. Even with the White Sun's high-quality forces feeding him, it still would be a long ti before it enters the Law Realm. Nevertheless, the amount of energy and life force inside him could match that of a weak Rank 8 life form!
"Good, very good." The World Tree's aura displayed his happiness when he heard those words. "I can see that you already used the violet seal I implanted on you."
Zatiel was not surprised to hear those words. Those violet seals were precious, even for the World Tree. The fact they were gone ahead of ti ant that sothing must have gone wrong.
"Yes, I originally intended to use them for sothing much more important, but the King in Yellow happened. My existence was very close to being extinguished, but I managed to turn it into a lucky chance."
Although the World Tree lacked facial features to display emotions, Zatiel could feel his aura's trepidation. The King in Yellow was truly a fearful enemy, and the worst thing was that they still were unaware of his full class="novel-ins">
Just like Zatiel transforming a dead-end into a new beginning, how can they say that the King in Yellow would not be capable of the sa feat?
After a few seconds of silence, the World Tree's aura grew steady, and he s "I suppose you ca here so I could engrave the seals in you again." The World Tree was aware of how much damage creating those seals would do to his already weakened lifespan, but there was no hesitation in his voice. He was ready to fulfill his calling without fear or remorse.
"I am afraid they are too important. I can feel that sothing significant will happen soon, and I need the violet seals if I want a chance to level the playing field."
Zatiel could not let things carry on as they were. He already antagonized the evil Primarchs and Eldritch Universe and was unaware of the true goal of the Fla Imperator and Alpha Universe.
He felt that the evolution of his True Soul and the awakening of his unique bloodline ability would trigger a significant response from everybody. Even if Issac, Salomon, and the others were helping him, he did not feel safe without the violet seals.
"Nonetheless, I did not just co for those violet seals. I also ca to treat your wounds."
"Oh, how is that possible?" The World Tree was surprised and a little dubious about Zatiel's words. He knew better than anyone how resourceful and ingenious the Neo-Demon was, but his body and soul were too severely wounded.
"In my previous life, the nature of my powers was just destruction and assimilation. There was little I could do to heal you as the Incarnation of Death and Destruction. My Rebirth Eclipse Bloodline could have allowed to heal you once I reached Rank 9, but it would have been too late by then. However, my existence evolved to a point where I can transcend the forces of life and death and interfere with universal causality!"
Zatiel unleashed the full power of REX SAMSARA UNIVERSALIS CAUSALITAX and the Alpha-Oga Samsara King Bloodline.
A dark purple lightning-fire pri force flooded the void, and the World Tree could not hide his shock as he felt the forces in it, especially one that he had already experienced billions of years ago.
"You have the power from the Eldritch Universe's Principal Laws within your soul!"
How could the World Tree forget the laws responsible for almost putting him on his deathbed?
"That is right. I manage to integrate the highest powers of the Eldritch Universe into my existence. Having gained control over the forces that are slowly grinding away your life force, I can implent a plan that will allow to heal you." Zatiel's eyes were full of confidence. If you understand the disease, it is much easier to cure it.
The World Tree could not help but feel excited. Although he had already accepted his downfall and was ready to unleash all his power when the right ti ca, leaving the Prima Universe in a blaze of glory, he would never give up if there was a chance to keep living.
"Explain to what you are going to do." The World Tree wanted to see if there was any way he could help and make sure nothing went wrong.
"Your Primordial Essence and core life force are infected by the purest Eldritch Universe's power of Cause and Effect. Expelling them would be the sa as ripping your soul and body to pieces, which would not help and would only worsen your condition."
The World Tree signaled his agreent. It was precisely due to the Eldritch Universe's power having ingrained so deeply into his existence that he could not heal himself.
"I will take your Primordial Essence and core life force and use my own body and soul as filters. I will purge parts of the powers corrupting them and then return the purified soul force and vitality back to you. Completely healing you is impossible, but you should recover around eighty percent."
The World Tree's excitent grew stronger when he heard those words. Eighty percent would be enough for him to reignite his life force. But soon he found a major problem.
"Those forces that you will purge from , we will not be able to erase them so easily. You know how much the Champion of Justice and Order suffered due to sothing like that."
Of course that Zatiel knew the dangers. If he gathered the forces that perated the World Tree in a single place, they could mutate and trigger a cataclysmic event in the Prima Universe.
Luckily, the Neo-Demon had so individuals for whom curses and evil forces were nothing but desserts. The Rex Somniorum Eye glowed, and three foul creatures erged.
"What are those things?" The World Tree did not bother to hide his imnse disgust as he saw the three mbers of the Depravita Race. He knew they were weak, but his instincts warned him that they could beco an existential threat to the Prima Universe if they grew powerful enough.
"They are a new race I created, the Depravita Race. taphysical manifestations of the darkness in a sentient life's mind and soul. At their core, they are ideas made flesh. I intend to use them to devour the forces I will expel from you."
The World Tree could not help but take a mont to analyze the Depravita. They were, without a doubt, evil incarnated.
He also thought of the first race created by Zatiel, the Neo-Demons, and how strikingly different they were.
Neo-Demons were warriors of justice and freedom that sought to end all forms of evil in the universe. The Depravita, on the other hand, were monsters that only saw sentient life as food and bathed in sin and corruption.
Both races ca from the sa man and could be considered two sides of the sa coin.
"Will they be able to handle those forces? I can see they are still relatively weak."
"A healthy cell would explode if one sent too much energy into it, but cancer would only grow more and more. The Depravitas are ideas and can devour anything, especially if what they consu is a form of corruption."
Being compared with cancerous cells would make even the most stoic man furious, but the three Depravitas showed nothing. They lacked wisdom, and even if they had it, why would they care what others think? For them, everything and anything was food.
"I understand. Should we start imdiately?"
"I am ready. Let's do this." Zatiel described the procedure to the World Tree and sent the Depravitas back into his Rex Somniorum Eye before adopting a ditative position.
The World Tree made two branches appear. One of them pierced the Neo-Demon's brain while the other his heart.
A dark rotten force erged from the World Tree and traveled into the Neo-Demon through the branch connected to his brain.
Zatiel's entire body trembled, and his face grew pale, but monts later, a clean force erged from the branch in his heart and traveled back to the World Tree.
