Endless amount of reddish-black flas gushed from Nathan.
The flas devoured everything in their paths be it the trees, the surface, or the rifts.

Nathan, having trouble maintaining his consciousness, was unable to read system notifications.
His bones expanded, muscles shrank and beca denser, his height grew. His body was undergoing phenonal changes.
In the span of a few minutes, he grew physically by a few years. Reaching the physical age of 20 years.
At the sa ti the endless amount of [Zero], or [Chaos], suppressed the energy from the [Fragnt of Eternity]. Nathan's black hair returned with a few white bangs, his eyes reverted to their original red color and his left arm beca pale white like the rest of his body.
As [Chaos] energy reached the ends of Floor 13, it began rushing back to him.
[Title upgrade! Your title [Pseudo Ego Weapon(Cursed)] is undergoing evolution!]
[ [Pseudo Ego Weapon (Cursed)] --> [Ego Weapon (Cursed)] ]
Sizzle-
Beneath his shoulder, at the top of his upper arm, a tattoo of a snake eating its own tail appeared.
Slowly, consciousness returned to Nathan and he was able to think clearly.
"Did I… succeed?"
Checking his body he noticed that his thoughts were no longer muddled. The injury he self-inflicted on his stomach had disappeared and his left arm had been restored.
After inspecting his core, he sighed. A lot had changed.
"I can tell that all my stats increased and it is easier to do this."
A reddish-black fla hovered above his hand. The process was almost instantaneous. This was thanks to his cores being closer to each other.
Yes, cores.
He now had an Ether core that housed [Fragnt of Eternity] and a Nether core.
"It seems a Nether core ford because it didn't fuse completely with Ether. Also, the nether core feels suppressed."
Nathan crouched and jumped into the sky. He was surprised again, as he realized that his stats had increased by a large margin.
Landing on the God-Killing Spear, he checked on Susan and flew toward the Boss Zone without hesitation.
"Eth… no I can still change it."
Biting his lips, Nathan resolved himself. He was going to kill the Abomination.
First, he decided to check his stats.
"Leaderboard"
Nothing happened.
Calling out the leaderboard, Nathan realized he couldn't access the status screen. However, he recalled his title as Ego Weapon and muttered in his mind.
'Status'
A screen flickered before him.

"This… this is the sa as [Sword of Eternity]? Ah!"
Nathan re-read his status.
"It changed because I beca an ego weapon."
[Sword of Eternity] was also an ego weapon and had a similar status screen.
"[Chaos], is this the official na of [Zero]?"
Nathan also noticed Nether stat. He could tell that the total amount of his Nether had decreased, probably because it was no longer stored in his left arm, but it was still a lot.
His eyes beca firm and he closed the screen. Everything was an added bonus, he only wanted the power of [Fragnt of Eternity] to fight the Abomination.
Although it wasn't ntioned on the status screen, he could feel its energy coursing through his veins.
Suddenly, he heard a familiar chi.
Ding!

-(Present || Location: Floor 14]-
"You are becoming predictable, child of destiny"
Zap-
Clang-!
The Abomination effortlessly blocked Leon's strike. Leon's figure flashed and the next mont he was standing dozens of ters away.
'It's not working… I can't recreate the Seventh From with its essence'
Leon moved at an unimaginable pace. He was zapping throughout the battlefield. One second he was standing near you, the next second he was already dozens of ters away, leaving a trail of lightning behind him.
'Just once. Once is enough'
"Seventh Form: Deadline"
Schwing-!
Three arcs of swords slashes attacked the Abomination from a different direction, but the monster rely dodged them.
"You are weak, child of destiny."
Leon wasn't weak. At this mont, he was capable of fighting multiple peak Enma-rankers in a head-on fight and win, but the Abomination, knowing all his techniques, was playing him for a fool.
"How about this, child of destiny? If you can survive for the next 15 minutes, I'll let you live!"
Leon jumped and took a deep breath.
'I need to cut his core.'
Even the high-ranking Royal Demons, who are nigh invincible, have one weakness. Everything will have a weakness, it was a Law, a concept everything had to follow.
For so, their weakness would diminish as they grow stronger, for so their weakness will grow, many will aim for abilities to cover for their weakness. Yes, a being will always have a weakness. And in most cases, it is a core.
'It's letting cut it so tis but stopping the other tis. The core must be in those places at that mont.'
Huuuu-
Craccklee-
Holding his katana in both hands, Leon took a deep breath.
The giant asura swung its fist and attacked the ground.
Boom-!
Massive chunks of ground were flung in the air, along with trees that were uprooted from the impact.
Tentacles grew out of the Abomination and caught the large pieces of rocks and trees. Lashing with them, it threw everything onto Leon.
Boom-! Boom-!
Zaap-
Leon dodged the onslaught by turning into a bolt of lightning. The bolt of lightning danced on the battlefield and rapidly covered the distance between them.
This was one of his new abilities after his stigma evolved. But that wasn't all.
His [God War Physique] also recovered a bit as it removed restrictions over Leon's stigma. As a result, he was able to convert a portion of the damage he received into stamina and mana.
"Be original, child of destiny. Be original"
Bangg-!
The Abomination dodged [Raikou] fist and retaliated. By taking it easy, Abomination was trying to let Leon grow.
It had learned a lot of abilities from Lark. Naturally, among those abilities, the strongest ones belonged to Leon.
Regularly pointing out the familiar techniques, the monster was hoping for Leon to create a new technique for it to steal.
Its hand turned into a scythe.
Schwing-!
Jumping, Leon barely managed to avoid the horizontal grey arc. Looking behind, he found almost every tree in several hundred ters to have been cut.
But it was a chance too. Abomination will slow down for a few seconds after every big attack.
'Now!'
Zap-
Leon appeared behind the monster. This was his last chance, he felt it instinctively.
"Seventh Form–"
Light converged at the edge of his blade, the air split apart creating a path for the sword, he succeeded. He recreated the essence of Seventh Form. To Separate.
The essence of the seventh form was to separate everything, be it light, air, thunder, or the reality.
"–Deadline!"
Schwing-!
The blade cut through the silence.
A true strike. Even the Abomination wouldn't be able to block it, after all the attack was ant to tear the fabric of reality itself, however, Leon abruptly changed the trajectory of his swing.
The attack was as fast as lightning yet as slow as a breeze. The mont the tip of the blade touched the ground, a deep chasm was created.
BOOOOMM-!
The space struggled to hold itself together and not be torn asunder. The fissure running through the surface was at least 20 ters deep and ran a few hundred tres long.
"Haah…haah…"
Leon fell to his knees, exhausted.
"Why did you stop, child of destiny?"
Watching his glare, Abomination smiled manically. Covering the entire body of the monster was a thin layer of ever-changing fire. The flickers of the fla continuously changed color, telling Leon its identity.
"Ah, this? Don't think much, it's the ability I gained after absorbing your friend's soul core. Oh, did I ntion that if you return these flas to him, he can be revived? You ca-KAkakakakaka"
The Abomination couldn't hold it longer and burst into a fit of laughter.
Leon's eyes, which had been emotionless till now, shook when he ca to know that he could save his friend.
"Kakakaka! But you need to save yourself first!"
Bang-!
Leon's back arched as a kick landed in his stomach and threw him away, breaking through dozens of trees.
"5 minutes are up!"
The Abomination jumped into the skin, and for the first ti, initiated an attack from his side.
Blood flowed down Leon's temples. Wood splinters had been embedded into his flesh, making it difficult for him to stand.
It seed that this was the end of Leon when, abruptly, a magic circle appeared beneath him.
