Although the trio had never heard of the Neo-Demon race before, they only needed to look to their side to see the potential of this one.
Even before his bloodline changed, Ezequiel was an absolute genius, and now he could kill a Soul Forging existence with a single punch despite being a Rank 3 life form. He was the greatest example of the might the Neo-Demon race could reach.
Zatiel's talent and momentum were not inferior to that of the Neo-Demon with the Primordial Bloodline. However, unlike the Ancestor of the Neo-Demon race, Ezequiel was like them, an individual who had just begun his first life.
If Ezequiel could achieve the impossible, then there is no reason why they could not follow his steps if they push themselves beyond their limits.
After saying those words, Zatiel focused on the Abomination Gorilla, who was staring at him with anticipation in his eyes. He was smart enough to understand that if he was allowed to stay while the Neo-Demon race was mentioned, it meant he was someone Zatiel trusted.
Zatiel could deduct the thoughts in Tyrus's mind, and he was impressed by how much his wisdom had developed.
"You will also join my race with the rest. Actually, all members of the Daybreak Clan are potential Neo-Demons. The moment they have proven themselves worthy, I will transform them. Many have already shown me that they deserve to be part of my kind, and when the bloodlines from the Scientia Kingdom arrive, the number of Neo-Demons will grow." Zatiel was extremely satisfied with the behavior of his people, especially during this difficult time. They maintained unity, and the greatest desire in their hearts was always to protect the clan.
A wide smile appeared on Tyrus's face when he heard those words, and battle intent could be seen burning in his eyes. The man loved to fight, and the stronger he became, the more exciting the battles would be.
"If you were Rank 3 life form, the process would be much easier, but unfortunately, my kind must undergo something called the Three Severings, and that must be done before your True Soul has been awakened. Luckily, now that I have access to my realm, I can revert the changes that occurred when you advanced to Rank 4. Your centers of power will be affected, practically regressing to Rank 3, but it will be worth it."
When Heinz, Totto, Zitra, and Tyrus heard that, they felt a little disappointed since they would have to go back to Rank 3, but determination filled their eyes the next second. The goal in their hearts was eternal life, and there was a path in front of them that would take them there, so how could a little setback affect their wills?.
Zatiel closed his eyes for a moment, and in his mind appeared every Neo-Demon who was ready to undergo the Three Severings and form the Nine Apocalypse Star Heavens.
"There are many of my kind that had already reached Peak Rank 3. They, along with a few others who need to go through the same process that you four will gather here in a few moments. I need to heal some people and awaken someone, and we will go together to my realm." Zatiel did not say anything else, and the next instant, he disappeared.
Zatiel appeared in a room with forty-seven unconscious Sunlight Champions.
This was the group that was killed in Wasteland. Their bodies were fixed, and their souls were brought back from The Eternal River of the Afterlife. Unfortunately, due to damage in their consciousnesses, they could not wake up.
The Law of Life can regenerate any missing piece of the body and heal most soul's wounds. However, the consciousness of each one of these Sunlight Champions was not just damaged. Pieces of those consciousnesses were missing, and you could not heal what was not there.
Before his bloodline advanced, Zatiel could have still woke them up, but their personalities would be affected, and they would need to spend hundreds of years recovering.
However, now that he had the Law of Rebirth, things were different. The Neo-Demon open his palm and forty-seven drops of blood came out. They moved on their own and entered the head of each one of the Sunlight Champions.
Zatiel's Rebirth Eye released a pulse of energy, and a smile appeared on the Neo-Demon when he saw how his blood was regenerating the missing pieces in the consciousnesses of his people.
'If my laws are able to take the next forward, I could even repair broken souls, without being a Rank 7 life form, and would not have to spend hundreds of years in deep sleep to recover.' In Zatiel's mind, the faces of everyone whose soul was shattered in the war against the Heavenly race was crystal clear. He had not forgotten them, and the moment he could bring them back, he would.
"Dante, monitor their condition and fill their body with energy. They should wake up in a week or two, but they will be disorientated. Have their families here when they open their eyes."
"I will follow your instructions, Father." Dante's voice was heard from the wall, and after nodding, Zatiel disappeared again.
This time the Neo-Demon appeared in a giant chamber that could easily hold Ezequiel's titanic body. The place was filled with pink cubes that were worth at least a dozen billions of magic crystals.
That amount of wealth was immense even for clans led by Rank 5 life forms, but Zatiel had taken the entire wealth of the Beta Heavenly World, so a few billions of magic crystals was nothing to him.
The only thing alive in the chamber was the white egg in the center of it. It had mystic runes engraved all over, and it swallowed crazy amounts of energy every second.
Zatiel approached the white egg and caressed it carefully. The Rebirth Eye showed him the powerful bloodline of the woman inside the egg.
Normally, the more time the individual spent in the egg after the Nirvanic Rebirth, the more powerful their bloodline would become. After the 1st Nirvanic Rebirth, a normal Abyssfire Demon Phoenix would spend three months in the egg stage, and those with especially pure bloodline would remain nine months.
However, Sophia had been inside the white egg for more than three years. Her bloodline was born out of the fusion of the Styx Dragon Bloodline and Abyssfire Demon Phoenix Bloodline and tempered by the Nirvanic Fire, so it was different from its origin.
Its potential was so great that even after consuming billions of magic crystals, it had not finished it's strengthening.
Zatiel's eyes narrowed after finishing analyzing Sophia's new bloodline. It was strong, but it was still far from being a Law Bloodline.
'Law Bloodlines are very hard to develop, and even with two Peak Emperor Bloodlines that fully complement each other, it is impossible to develop one. After the Sixth Nirvanic Rebirth, she may obtain a Fourth Order Law Bloodline.' After a moment of thought, Zatiel opened his mouth and made a ball of shining purple blood appear.
The face of the Neo-Demon became pale after that blood left his body. Other than the bloodline that resided in his Bloodline Heart, this blood was the purest in Zatiel's body. After losing this much, he would have to consume many powerful creatures to heal himself, but there would be no permanent damage.
This blood could grant a Peak Emperor Bloodline greater than even the strongest Angelic Paragon's Bloodline to any Neo-Demon that used it to form their Bloodline Heart. However, to Sophia, whose bloodline was strengthening itself after the Nirvanic Rebirth, the effect would be different.
Zatiel's blood contained the power of the Eclipse Rebirth, and it would help to grant a qualitative improvement to Sophia's bloodline that had the power of Nirvanic Rebirth in it.
The Neo-Demon made the orb of blood enter the white egg, and the moment that happened, this one trembled. An extremely dense bloodline power could be felt coming from inside it.
He had not finished yet. The next second, every ounce of Rebirth Force was released from inside Zatiel and transformed into a torrent of purple flames that began to nurture the white egg.
The blood and the purple flames generated a reaction in the life form inside the egg, and an immense swallowing force was released from it. It devoured Zatiel's blood and his fire like a starving monster.
That was not all, as it also began to devour the energy inside the pink cubes so fast that dozens of them transformed into dust every second.
Almost thirty minutes passed before all pink cubes disappeared, and the white egg could no longer feed on Zatiel's Rebirth Force.
Slowly, cracks began to appear on the white egg before it split apart. A gargantuan creature that was more than three hundred meters in size manifested itself in the chamber.
The creature had a white serpentine draconic body without claws and two giant phoenix wings covered in dark blue fire. Each of the feathers in those wings was made of ice, and the fire covering them did not generate heat but coldness.
Her flames had the versatility, speed, and destructive power of fire, while also containing the sturdiness, freezing qualities, and paralyzing power of ice. It worked as a defensive and offensive ability.
She had two crimson eyes that could affect the soul of weaker life forms, and in her forehead, there was a crystal that contained a white liquid flame.
The Neo-Demon felt the power in Sophia's bloodline, but although it was greater than the one in an Emperor Bloodline, it was still not at the Law Bloodline level.
'A Half-Law Bloodline, one step away from a Fourth Order Law Bloodline. Well, it was the best I could expect...' Zatiel was not able to finish that thought as shock filled his mind when his eyes landed on the dragon's head.
His Rebirth Eye was using his full power to analyze the white liquid flame inside Sophia's crystal. After he was sure of its nature, excitement filled the Neo-Demon's face.
