Noah saw how the monster in front that every particle of his existence urged him to destroy changed into a little child.
Noah's eyes widened as shock appeared in them. Unlike the Neo-Demons that emerged from the walls, which were nothing more than incarnations of energy that attacked him, he could see that the child had no desire to fight.
And most important of all. Noah's third eye showed him that the child had a real soul, making this one a true life form.
Noah did not understand how a child appeared inside the Depraved Rage World, but the force in his soul that filled him with nothing but rage against the monster now targeted this one.
The Samsara Thearch's soul force affected Noah's soul, transforming him into a Prima Depravita and blocking his emotions, urging him to carry on with his attack.
Noah's entire body began to tremble, and the grip on his spear grew tighter. There was a small part of him fighting the compulsion that overwhelmed his soul and filled him with killing intent.
Deep inside Noah's soul, in the purest part of his willpower, something was telling him that this was wrong and that no matter what, he could not carry on with the attack.
From a logical point of view, it was clear that this was a test, but right now, a force that could break the mightiest of wills invaded Noah's soul. It did not matter if he knew what the right call was. That did not mean he could take it.
Across a person's life, there were countless times when they were faced with impossible choices. They knew the right path, but their instincts and desires were so strong that they made the wrong choice.
The child said nothing and just kept looking at Noah with a calm expression on his face.
"AHHHH!" Noah roared as his eyes glowed for an instant, losing their emotionless aura. He turned around and thrust the spear, generating an explosion of dark flames in the distance.
Noah fell to the ground the next second, as throwing the spear away took every ounce of willpower he had. His eyes shifted between emotionless and light from time to time.
Noah felt his mind would break in two at any second when the sound of footsteps appeared. He turned his head back and saw how the child walked toward him.
The child changed for the third time, and shock appeared on Noah's face as he saw who this one had become.
"Father!"
The child became no other than Zatiel Daybreak. He only smiled and did not say a word to Noah before putting a hand on this one's head.
Noah's eyes widened, and he felt immense pain as the entity that resembled his father extracted something from his soul. It took the form of a dark plasma sphere, and once it was out, he regained his emotions.
The entity did not keep the dark plasma sphere but sent it into the sky, where it vanished.
"Those who lose themselves in their basic desires can never transcend the limits of the universe. Your willpower must always stand above everything else. That is the only way to find your Truth and ignite your Eternal Flame."
Noah saw how the entity that resembled his father melted back into the world as a beam of light covered his body.
As the Samsara Thearch's soul force baptized his body and improved his foundation, Noah could finally rest and analyze all that happened in the Depravation Rage World.
'The world's goal was to test my convictions and whether or not I could overcome my impulses. It transformed me into a Prima Depravita to shut down my emotions and threw monsters in my path at first, making it easier for me to carry on a massacre.
Next, it generated Neo-Demons. I fell even deeper into deprivation when I killed them.
If I had not fought with everything I had against those impulses, I would have carried on with my last attack, and my father's soul force would have certainly expelled me.'
As Noah finished his analysis, a sense of awe appeared in his heart when he remembered the tales he had heard about Sundered Night.
'Just resisting those impulses for a moment took everything I had, but all the members of Sundered Night were able to overcome them and rise above their instincts. No wonder each of them is a supreme powerhouse.'
Noah's thoughts were interrupted as memories began to flood his mind. Unlike the Three Divergence World, which was just a lucky chance, the Depravation Rage World had a core memory of the Samsara Thearch.
The memory that was the core of the Depravation Rage World was no other than Sophia's death at the hands of the King in Yellow and the birth of the Veganza.
Noah had seen many battles and cosmic phenomena that defied logic. Still, even for him, the fight between Venganza and the Flame Imperator against the King in Yellow was mind-blowing.
The power those three unleashed led the Eldritch Universe to its premature end.
Noah made sure to empty his mind and focus all the power of his soul on the fight before him. The forces Venganza, the Flame Imperator, and the King in Yellow unleashed were at the Rank 10 level, and if he could just grasp a little of their power, it would immensely help his cultivation.
Once the memory was finally over and the Samsara Thearch's soul force finished tempering Noah's existence, he advanced to the fifth of the Nine Sacred Samsara Worlds.
"Welcome to the Mirror Defiant World."
Noah heard that voice in his mind, and the next second he saw he was on top of a massive red sun. Once again, there was no other life form but him, but he was not alone.
Less than five meters away from him was the dark plasma sphere that was extracted from his soul and contained his Depravita Nature.
Without any warning, the Samsara Thearch's soul force began to enter the dark plasma orb, and in a few seconds, a Depravita Doppelganger of Noah appeared.
