Ezequiel never showed hesitation or doubt in the face of danger. Countless life and death battles had tempered his willpower to the point that he could be considered a perfect warrior, capable of making the hard choice in a split second.
Even as he stood in front of the greatest warriors of the Prima Universe, he did not back down or show any form of weakness.
There was no fear in the Supreme Neo-Demon's eyes as Hyperion focused on him, but when he heard the message of this one, he did not know how to respond.
The other Primarchs were equally shocked by Hyperion's words. However, there was another emotion in the Sacred Beast Primarch and Dragon Primarch. Both bloodline Primarchs were staring daggers toward the Titan Primarch and berating themselves for not thinking of it first.
Ezequiel's Primordial Bloodline was the highest they had ever felt after Zatiel. Any child born of his seed would instantly become a heavenly genius with an easy path into the Eternal Detachment Rank.
Although strong life forms with powerful bloodlines had a more challenging time procreating, there were all types of treasures in the universe that could help with that. Not to mention that Ezequiel was still extremely young and just a Rank 7 life form.
"Anyone born of a Neo-Demon would become a Neo-Demon. It is something impossible to change." Zatiel spoke calmly, and it seemed he was not angry by the words of the Titan Primarch.
Hyperion's face did not change when he heard those words and smilingly nodded toward the Neo-Demon Ancestor. Clearly, he never intended for Ezequiel's offspring to come to the Titan Race.
Zatiel's eyes narrowed as he saw how that lack of reaction and enlightenment filled his eyes as he understood Hyperion's goal.
The Titan Primarch did not intend to bring the offspring that Ezequiel may have with one of his daughters to the Titan Race. He wanted to leave it in the Neo-Demon Race.
Everybody understood that Zatiel considered family very important, so that child's Titan mother would be with him over his infancy. As that child grew, he would come to see the Titan Race as a second home and do his best to ensure its safety.
All the Primarchs also understood Hyperion's scheme, but there was nothing they could say against it. The Titan Primarch was not tricking anyone. Instead, he was betting that his daughters would sway Ezequiel's heart.
Of course, Zatiel and Ezequiel's reactions would determine whether this scheme could carry on. The Neo-Demon Ancestor considered things for a moment before shrugging his shoulders, signaling he would not get in the way.
Hyperion's smile widened when he saw that and focused on Ezequiel.
The Supreme Neo-Demon was not strange to the topic of love and partners, but he was also not an expert. He already found Numir had long forgotten about seeking new partners.
"I already have a wife, so I am afraid things will not work." Ezequiel knew that daughters of powerful individuals usually would not allow themselves to be second to others, and there was no way he would renounce Numir.
However, the Supreme Neo-Demon underestimated how much Hyperion wanted things to work and how little he cared about protocol.
"So what, who among us does not have several romantic partners? I bet your Ancestor is the same."
After hearing those words, Hyperion wanted the Supreme Neo-Demon even more. The Titan Primarch cared about his family very much and was sure Ezequiel would treat any partner very well.
On the other hand, Zatiel's expression cracked a little when he heard the Titan Primarch using him as an example. Still, he could not say much as those words were true.
However, there were two that showed an even greater reaction to that. The Dragon Primarch and Sacred Beast Primarch smiled as they saw a path opening for them.
"That is right, boy. Having multiple partners is completely fine. Actually, one could say that people like us with powerful bloodlines own it to the Prima Universe to produce several offspring. That is why I have three thousand wives, some not even from the Dragon Race." The Dragon Primarch spoke with a loud voice. It was clear he felt no shame at all over his vast harem.
"Bahamut may be a horny geezer, but there is truth in his words. You may be the only Primordial in the entire Prima Universe. Stopping your seed from spreading would be a huge mistake." The Sacred Beast Primarch spoke with a more dignified tone, but the meaning was the same as the other two.
Hyperion frowned when he saw the duo chipping in. Although it seemed that they were siding with him, how could he not know they had their own agendas?
"I thank you for your words, but I am afraid I can not amuse you. My only goal right now is to become stronger. I have already found love once, which is more than enough for me." Ezequiel performed a slight bow to the duo as he spoke those words.
Bahamut and the Sacred Beast Primarch did not know how to find a way around those words. Ezequiel was not someone they could pressure, and they did not think themselves able to provide better cultivation guidance than Zatiel.
However, Hyperion was different. A thoughtful light appeared in his eyes before resolution filled it.
"Brat, there is a Sacred Trial in my Titan World accessible for all those beneath Rank 8. It is my world's greatest lucky chance, and the rewards are incredible. At the end of the trial, there is a chance to obtain a new Path of Power. I was the closest to it, and although it failed to acquire it, thanks to the insights it granted me, I formed an Omega Law that allowed me to reach Limit Rank 9."
Issac and Salomon did not show a great reaction to that, but the other Primarchs were surprised. A Path of Power was much better than a cultivation technique, and if only some insight were enough for Hyperion to form his Omega Law, its power must be incredible.
As for Zatiel, he only showed some interest but said nothing. His True Name already optimized his existence to the limit, and a new Path of Power would not help him.
Nevertheless, Ezequiel's interest spiked after hearing Hyperion's words. That Path of Power should focus on the body, which may be the chance he was looking for.
Of course, the Supreme Neo-Demon also understood that Hyperion would be using that trial to push his daughters toward him. After all, love usually flourished under risk and danger.
"Boy, do not underestimate our Sacred Trial. The number of geniuses that perished in it is very high. My goal is clear, and I have no desire to harm you, but I must warn you that the dangers you and those accompanying you would face are extreme."
Hyperion was under Issac's Omega Law's influence, so there were no tricks in his words. He made the danger clear so Zatiel would not blame him if anything went wrong.
Ezequiel's smile did not shake. The greater the danger, the higher the improvement his destiny would get.
