"Rex Somniorum Eye: Heart Demon!"
Rex Somniorum, the King of Dreams. The power to master the dream of the universe and go beyond mere illusion. To manipulate and transform an individual's subconscious into reality.
That was the new name of Zatiel Daybreak's evolved Rebirth Eye.
The Divine Avatar could not stop trembling as a wave of negative emotions assaulted him, or more correctly, the God who controlled him. Hate, lust, sloth, hunger, guilt, all those emotions, some of whom he got rid of a long time ago, came like a storm.
He could not form a single coherent thought, much less control his energy to self-destruct.
Zatiel's Rex Somniorum Eye did not leave the Divine Avatar. He unleashed wave after wave of Virtual Force and Karmic Samsara Force into the golden giant's brain.
Confusion and curiosity appeared in the Gods and Magi watching that. It was clear that the child was more than capable of destroying the Divine Avatar, yet he kept sending those strange energies.
At first, they thought Zatiel just wanted to torment the God, but then they saw how his face grew pale, and blood began to leak from his eyes and nose.
Only a fool would harm himself to produce pain in a target. From what they saw, Zatiel did not seem like one.
Zatiel felt he was extremely close to achieving it, but something was still missing. His face filled with resolution as he proceeded to burn a part of his bloodline and enhanced the power of the Rex Somniorum Eye, making a storm of prime force emerge from it.
The Neo-Demon actions only provoked more curiosity in the Magi and Gods. Luckily, the answer came the next second, as the Divine Avatar's eyes widened and an expression of utter agony appeared on his face.
"¡AAAAAA!"
The Magi and Gods heard cries of pain, one from the Divine Avatar inside Gods' Tomb and the other from one of the Lesser Divine Kingdoms.
It was not a question to whom that Divine Kingdom belonged, and everybody felt awe at the child's soul mastery. But what truly shocked them was what happened next.
"BOOM!" The lightning Divine Avatar's head exploded, and four foul nightmarish creatures emerged from it.
Both Magi and Gods had been alive for a very long time and saw dreadful creatures all across the universe, but the ones that emerged from the Divine Avatar's head were without a doubt the most horrendous.
These four creatures' skin was like burned leather, bloody and filthy eyes from where a black substance leaked, mouths with razor-sharp teeth, and twisted limbs with exposed bones.
If it were only their appearance, that would not be enough to shock Beyond the Shackles' existences, but their presence was so incredibly dark that just seeing caused a deep sense of disgust.
A foul black aura emerged from each of them, one that seemed to drain life and provoke all kinds of evil thoughts. Any sentient being beneath the Law Realm would be invaded for a sense of utter desperation by it, taking away their desire to live.
There was no sense of wisdom in their eyes, only loath and brutality, hinting that they acted instinctively. Less than a second after their appearance, their gaze landed on the headless Divine Avatar, and they lunged at it.
A vortex emerged from their mouths that corroded the golden giant's body, and once it was nothing but puss, it swallowed it.
In less than three seconds, the creatures that were less than three meters tall devoured the giant body of the Divine Avatar, and their aura grew more vigorous.
Zatiel's eyes never left these creatures, and even he was shocked by his creation. He learned from Myriad's memories how his agony could give birth to nightmarish creatures.
Using that knowledge is how the Neo-Demon came up with the spell Heart Demon. He attacked the soul and mind of his opponent, awakening the evilest thoughts and emotions, and once they reached their peak, he would use his Rex Somniorum Eye to transform them into reality.
These creatures that emerged from the Divine Avatar's brain were in a completely different league than those that appeared in Kingar's void. Not only could they grow stronger, but he also enhanced their abilities.
It completely consumed the seed of consciousness inside the God Core to create them. As for the spell effect on the God inside the Lesser Divine Kingdom, Zatiel had no idea about it.
Just as Zatiel focused on the creatures, they did the same with him once they finished with the lightning Divine Avatar's corpse. Still, a sense of anxiety and dread appeared in them as they stared at the Neo-Demon, making their gaze go to the rocky golden giant.
Without hesitation, they lunged toward the rocky Divine Avatar at a fantastic speed, but before they could get to the corpse, Zatiel sent a command, forcing them to halt.
Their bodies obeyed Zatiel's command, but every one of them displayed a hateful gaze, and one of them went to the point of roaring.
"AAAAAAAA!" It was like an agonizing scream of pain.
Zaitle frowned as he saw the brutal nature of these creatures. It seemed that he could control their bodies, but not their minds.
The Rex Somniorum Eye glowed, making a vortex appear inside the one that roared, transporting it inside the eye.
When they saw the fate of their comrade, the dread these creatures showed to Zatiel grew even more.
The Neo-Demon saw the creatures behaving, and his plasma wheel devoured the Divine Avatar beneath him, fragmenting the golden giant into Origin Power for his Supernova Seed, energy for his Inner Law Dimension, and vitality for his body.
After all his centers of power recovered, Zatiel continued investigating these beings. He needed to know whether or not he could use them.
Regardless of their power, if they did not heed his commands, there was no point in having them. One thing was already sure: they obeyed him due to his control over them and behaved only due to their fear, but there was no doubt that if they grew powerful enough, they would eat him just like they ate that Divine Avatar.
Zatiel got close to one of the creatures, and he poured every ounce of his physical strength into his right arm as he punched it.
The creature exploded instantly as the strike landed point-blank, but its pieces regrouped less than a second later, and there was no sign of any damage.
'So physical attacks are useless. At their core, they are ideas and emotions brought to this plane of existence due to my powers. One man said once; ideas are bulletproof.'
The Neo-Demon made use only to use physical power in that blow and did not coat his arm in any type of energy to prove a point.
Next, Zatiel used his red lightsaber and struck the creature again, exploding it. While it managed to reconstruct itself again, the attack did some damage due to the laws that made the weapon.
However, it was minimal, barely reducing the creature's aura that put it at the Late Void Stage.
Zatiel put his red lightsaber in the creature's chest as three suns emerged from his right wrist and fused into the weapon, making it glow.
"AAAAAA!" The creature roared as it felt the energy in the red lightsaber, and it attempted to run. Sadly, it could not overpower Zatiel's control.
A blast at point-blank landed on the creature, shattering every piece of it. That attack could have killed a Peak Seed Stage life form, but the creature again reformed!
Its power waned significantly, to the absolute bottom of Rank 7, but the fact it managed to survive that attack point blank was shocking.
Zatiel saw how it chose to reform hundred of kilometers away before flashing. He could easily bring it into his right eye but did not.
However, something drew his attention. The other two creatures began to exert a great strength to try and get away from his control.
For a moment, the Neo-Demon thought they were furious with him due to how he treated their comrade and wanted to attack, but nothing could be farther from the truth.
Those two creatures focused solely on the one weakened. There was an immense desire to consume and devour in their bloody eyes.
'Metaphysical manifestation of the evil and darkness in an individual mind and soul. Just like greed can overcome wrath, they want nothing more than to devour the other. By the unbearable desire in their gaze, it seems that their favored food is their own kind. The only reason they did not attack each other when they appeared was since their instincts told them there was no clear winner. Yet, now that one is injured, they want nothing more than to get free and go after it. '
Zatiel knew better than anyone about Devils and Demons, but even those supposed to be the incarnation of evilness were inferior to these horrible beings.
