Unlike their advance to Moon Shatterer Rank, this time, the Neo-Demons did not act together. Ezequiel would wait until Zatiel finished his sealing before starting his own.
One of the reasons was safety, as unlike the True Will Path of Power, the other paths needed a period of adjustment after each significant improvement.
The other reason was due to the tier of the Apocalyptic Star that the Supreme Neo-Demon intended to seal.
A Peak Tier 6 Star Consciousness could equal the spiritual might of a Peak Rank 5 life form.
If Zatiel's True Will were still at the Peak Star Breaker, he would face a hard battle against the Star Consciousness, but he would have no problem now that the golden humanoid reached the Moon Shatterer level.
Ezequiel, however, intended to seal a Peak Tier 7 Apocalyptic Star!
The power of that Star Consciousness equaled the might of an Early Moon Shatterer True Will!
Zatiel adopted a meditative position and focused his entire perception on his brain and the heaven in the True Doomsday Body's head.
At the same time, Ezequiel pushed his focus to the maximum, making sure he was ready to face any threat.
Massive amounts of Elemental Chaos entered the True Doomsday Body's head, and in a matter of seconds, a white whirlwind appeared inside Zatiel's brain.
Just like the fourth Apocalyptic Star needed to be of Yang kind, the fifth also had a fixed nature.
In the Neo-Demon Realm's void, there was a giant blue star with a ring of azure flames. But instead of producing heat, this type of fire generated coldness.
The flames did not harm matter, but a Rank 5 life form touched by them would have his minds numbed. In Rank 4 life forms, the power of the azure fire was enough to freeze their True Souls.
Despite all that, if someone were powerful enough and knew how to use the power of this mighty star properly, their souls would enjoy countless benefits.
A massive whirlwind the size of a continent appeared above this Peak Tier 6 Star with a core made by the Yin Law and swallowed it in seconds.
A blue pear appeared inside the white whirlwind in Zatiel's head, and the crystallization process began.
When the sealing reached thirty percent, the crystallization stopped, and the white whirlwind began to tremble as the Star Consciousness woke up.
The True Will opened his eyes the moment he detected the Star Consciousness trying to fight back.
He raised his hand and opened his palm as silver light covered his eyes.
That action made a giant silver hand appear inside the dimension where the Peak Tier 6 Star resided.
Before the Star Consciousness could even respond, the hand grabbed the star and clenched.
The hand did no damage to the physical body of the star but shattered the Star Consciousness.
Without resistance, the sealing finished, and a blue dodecahedron appeared inside Zatiel's brain.
Usually, this would have marked the end of the advance to the Middle Rank 5 in the True Doomsday Body Path of Power, but Zatiel felt the transformation to his brain did not end there.
The fifth Apocalyptic Star would position itself in the brain's center between the two hemispheres, but the purple orb containing the Dream Dimension occupied that place in Zatiel's mind.
Luckily for the Neo-Demon, there was no adverse reaction between the purple orb and blue dodecahedron.
The Apocalyptic Star rotated around the Dream Dimension for a few seconds before going inside it.
Zatiel trembled for a moment when that happened. He felt his brain burning for an instant, but then an expression of extasis appeared on his face.
Not only did his Animus Path of Power advance directly to the Middle Rank 5, but his Mind Force gained a qualitative enhancement, becoming purer and denser.
It took a month for the changes to his brain caused by the new Apocalyptic Star to be over.
Other than enhancing Zatiel's speed of thought by a factor of three and constantly nurturing the Inner Law Dimension with yin force, the Apocalyptic Star formed an azure membrane around the brain, working both as a physical and spiritual shield.
Zatiel opened his eyes when the process was over and smiled as he felt his new power. He clenched his fists, and immediately a wave of physical strength, Astral Origin, and Mind Force emerged from inside him.
'With the improvement in my Animus, True Will, and True Doomsday Body's Paths of Power, my battle strength should reach the Early Primary Sun Domain Stage without the need of using Myriad.'
Myriad Rebirth Doomsday Avatar was an extension of Zatiel's being, but the creature's soul was still very young, so he needed plenty of rest after every battle.
Zatiel did not like to depend much on Myriad and only released him when there was no other choice.
The Neo-Demon did not lose too much time analyzing his power and looked at Ezequiel.
Invictus only nodded before closing his eyes and injecting Elemental Chaos into the True Doomsday Body's head.
Zatiel appeared behind Ezequiel and put his hand over the Supreme Neo-Demon's head before releasing a stream of Mind Force.
A purple force with azure runes inside it infiltrated Ezequiel's brain and formed a protecting shield in it, reinforcing the defenses at a cellular level.
No one could help the Supreme Neo-Demon face the Star Consciousness, but Zatiel could protect his brain, so the collateral damage from the fight would be less.
Ezequiel's process was similar to Zatiel's, but the size of the star he chose was almost two times larger than that of the Neo-Demon Ancestor.
Despite its size, a whirlwind swallowed the heavenly body without a problem and transported it directly to the new dimension inside Ezequiel's brain.
The crystallization process advanced less than ten percent before the Star Consciousness woke up.
Ezequiel's True Will was ready. The golden humanoid appeared in the dimension and flew into the Peak Tier 7 Star without hesitation.
Once inside, what appeared in front of him was a gargantuan T-Rex with fifty wings bathed in azure fire.
The True Will and Star Consciousness stared at each other for an instant before flashing forward, both with a single goal in their hearts.
Kill the enemy and prove their superiority!
