Hyperon stood in Titan World's origin, along with many other powerhouses. All of them had been waiting for the geniuses that entered the Sacred Trial.
A solemn expression appeared on the Titan Primarch's face as he saw the golden lightning storm forming in the void. It was immense, and he could feel the Universe Will in it.
The Titan Primarch did not understand why such a phenomenon would happen. He got an answer the next second.
"CRACK!" The sound of broken glass drew the attention of everybody, and they saw how space shattered, and the entrance to the Sacred Trial emerged once again.
Before any of the powerhouses could wake up from their shock, someone threw out the geniuses from the Sacred Beast Race, Dragon Race, and Titan Race before transforming into a beam of light and flashing toward the void.
It happened so fast that only Hyperion could see the one inside the light beam. A handsome man with six arms, three faces, and a body full of unparalleled physical potential.
Luckily for the others, the man stopped his charge after reaching the void. As the powerhouses and Primarchs across the universe saw him, a word came to everybody's mind.
Invictus.
The Supreme Neo-Demon finally emerged from the Sacred Trial, and he seemed to have triggered a response from the Universe Will, which manifested as that massive golden lightning storm.
One was a five-meter tall humanoid, while the other was a universal phenomenon larger than a Principal World. However, the man's eyes glowed with silver flames as he showed a smile full of confidence and determination.
"I AM READY!" Ezequiel roared those words as a silver sun began to manifest around his body. It was illusory and seemed to shift between real and unreal, but the power in it was something no one could ignore.
As if answering those words, the golden lightning storm that contained the Universe Will's power attacked the Supreme Neo-Demon.
An arc of golden lightning capable of sundering galaxies fell into Ezequiel and unleashed waves of electric energy that flooded the void.
Luckily for the Titan World, its Crystal Wall was capable of resisting the collateral damage of those arcs of golden lightning.
Hyperion and the other powerhouses were the closest to blast. None understood the nature of those golden arcs of lightning, but their instincts warned them that they were incredibly dangerous.
The waves of golden electric energy shrouded Ezequiel's figure, so the powerhouses could not see what happened to him after enduring that attack.
"Hahahaha."
However, they soon get an answer in the form of laughter. Ezequiel's body became visible, and there was not a single wound in it. If anything, he seemed even more powerful, and the silver sun grew a little more solid.
The golden lightning storm grew even more potent after the Supreme Neo-Demon began to laugh. Soon, a barrage of golden lightning arcs emerged.
Ezequiel showed a vicious smile as he saw those lightning arcs, shutting down all forms of supernatural defenses and letting them land point-blank on him.
Agony began to appear in the Supreme Neo-Demon's face, and he clenched his teeth and hands so hard that blood soon leaked from them. Still, the defiant smile never faded from his face as he stared at the golden lightning storm.
The Primarchs and powerhouses looking at the arcs of golden lightning from a distance could not help but wonder just how powerful they were. None felt a particularly destructive power in them, but their instincts still warned them about their danger.
However, there is always someone whose arrogance reached such a high level that they believe nothing would happen to them. This time that person was no other than Krono, the Immortal Will Rank 9 Titan who hundreds of years ago got his body destroyed by the World Tree.
Despite the terrible damage Krono endured at the hands of En, he had managed to recover after using all of his wealth. He was full of resentment, but En and Venganza were life forms he did not dare to challenge, so there was nothing he could do other than swallow his grievances.
Now that Krono saw Ezequiel resisting those arcs of golden lightning, drawing the awe of everybody, he chose to use his consciousness to inspect the attack. His goal was to see the attacks' true power and then make nasty remarks about Invictus' childish fanfare.
Sadly for the Rank 9 Titan, as soon as he sent his consciousness into the void, he understood he had made a great mistake.
The golden lightning storm's name was Universe Will Storm. It emerged once a Neo-Demon's True Will sought to break the boundaries of its nature and evolve into something much greater.
If the Neo-Demon resisted the full power of the Universe Will Strom, the True Will would evolve and gain immense power. If not, the only path ahead was to enter a comatose state for the rest of their lives.
A Neo-Demon needed to take the trial alone since if someone else interfered, that would incur the wrath of the Universe Will, which happened when Krono sent his consciousness into the void.
The Universe Will misconstrued the actions of the Rank 9 Titan as this one attempting to help Ezequiel, so it filled the Universe Will Storm with more power and fired a devastating attack toward him.
An arc of lightning almost ten times more potent than the ones Ezequiel endured reached Krono's consciousness.
"AHHHHHH!" Krono began to scream in agony as that lightning arc used his consciousness as a bridge and exploded inside his Inner Universe, striking the True Soul.
Attacks from the Universe Will Strom did not damage matter, but they were incredibly effective against the will, found in most life forms inside the True Soul.
"Idiot!" Hyperion yelled in anger as he saw the state of Krono. He put a hand over the Rank 9 Titan's head and used his power to calm down that golden lightning.
Ezequiel saw the lightning arc flashing in a different direction but did not bother. His sole focus was surviving the Universe Will Storm and evolving his True Will to Rank 9.
