After the last night, Thomas was like a complete new person. Opening his eyes, Thomas saw the ceiling of his bedroom and there was no conflicting emotions on his eyes.
Thomas turned his attention to his body. His breakthrough was interrupted by the gray eyes, he was starting to lose control over the demonic pearl right next to his heart which could cause a disaster if not taken care of.
Without letting anyone see him, Thomas run away from the city and moved as fast as he could towards the ruins of A city. With this uncontrollable power in his body, he was able to swiftly cross the distance before reaching the Vallar Gate then jumped over it and landed on the forest on the other side.
"Er... did I see something?" A young guard was making the rounds across the Gate when he could swear he saw a dark flash cross the sky for a second.
"It must be nothing, we just need to make sure no creature leave this place. And I don't think there is anyone stupid enough to rush there in with how"unstable the A-city's rift is."His partner slapped his shoulders, then had him return to his duty.
Because of the demonic aura emanating out of him, no beast even dare get close to Thomas as he searched for a nice place to hide.
Once he found a nice and secretive cave, he placed protective talismans in the stone walls. He then sat with legs crossed and positioned his hands above his forehead.
He didn't know if it would go well, but he needed to stabilize the energy of the newly-formed demonic pearl as well complete his advancement.
If it was before sacrificing his anima energy, he may dare do something this risky, but now after he survived the meeting with that all-powerful being, he changed his mind.
He suspected that the owner of the eyes must be the source of the mysterious material animanium that has appeared around the same time as the dimensional gates and anima energy. If so it was too big of a scale for a small mortal like him to deal with.
Purging his anima energy got him more time, but who knows if that thing would come after him? What about his family, friends and everyone on earth and mars?
Running away from it would be impossible since even dimensions and realms seemed to be affected by it.
Now that he attracted the attention of such a monster, his only choice now is to grit his teeth and move on.
As he emptied his mind from futile thoughts, Thomas began to feel the wind, the earth, the sky and all the living beings around him.
Being a place filled with dimensional creatures, aliens and most important demonic beasts, the concentration of demonic mist was high enough so he could use it.
In a few seconds, all the demonic energy in a hundred miles away were attracted to Thomas who in turn sucked it all in the thin pearl inside his body.
[What is he doing?] (Kez'Ganak)
[That kid must have gotten some Enlightenment in yesterday's date which brought his spirit to another level and helped him reach the perfect chance to level up.] (Prometheus)
[True, I can feel his soul and resolution has grow firm compared to his previous self. It's good he's fiding other things to enoy in life other than violence.] (Bonher)
Without transforming into a demon, he waves his hands and unleashed a purple and orange misty clouds of demonic energy that like starving lions, pounced on the weaker gray mist.
Stuck in this mysterious state for an unknown period of time, a crystal clear drops of a Orange and Purple liquid leaked out of the pearl and it merged with Thomass body, organs and limbs.
What he was doing was slightly different from how the system was evolving his physique since this time he put his own insights. When the liquid merged with his blood, Thomas felt his blood begin to boil as he felt the transformation that was about to occur.
It was an indescribable feeling, but Thomas was only more sure that he was following the right path. After lasting a few breaths, all that marvelous sensation suddenly stopped.
All that marvelous fluid that brought so many changes wasn't flowing anymore as if something was blocking it.
'Move!'
He tried to control liquid energy in the pearl, and yet nothing happened.
'Moooove!'
'Moooovveeeeeee!'
Bang!!!!!
With the sound of something bursting, the mysterious orange/purple liquid rushed out of the pearl like a flood. Simultaneously, a baleful aura he never seen before surged from the depths of this new demon blood which flowed in his veins. Upon contact with this aura, Thomas entered in shock as a hundred thousand images flashed past his eyes.
Images of war, death, destruction. Waves upon waves of creatures such as demons, necros, and other beings beyond imagination were fighting against each other when they appeared.
One was a golden shadow with a pair of huge feathered-wings which transmitted the gentle and warm feeling as the sun.
In the ground, a massive silver shadow dashed across the plains bringing with it the coldest of winters.
Booooooooom*
An explosion suddenly rang out in the ears of everybody and right afterwards, a mass of endless purple and orange clouds appeared in the sky right above the massive dimensional right and the ruins of A-city.
Almost in a blink, it expanded and towards the the three cities in the western border, Dexia, Lakebell and Bluewind. Even so, it didn't show signs of stopping, soon swallowing the entire western region.
"Heavens! What is happening?"
The day was originally clear for as anyone could see the distant sun, but these strange clouds suddenly appeared, causing that region to be enveloped by darkness. If one stretched their hands, they would not be able to see their fingers. They would not be able to see anything.
As for the adepts, some immediately mistaken this phenomena for some sign of a giant sky breach opening as they prepared for battle. Some of them such as the adepts from the wealthy families were too terrified to even step out of their rooms afraid of what was going to happen
News about were everywhere from the 16 colonial cities of mars to the human alliance of earth. Together, every single person watched in real time this mysterious phenomenon that no one expected.
The government even sent over 10.000 warships over to the vallar gate as reinforcements in case something happened.
People were terrified since it was the first time such thing happened ever since humans moved to mars; And with the past experiences of dimensional rifts, no one believed it to be a good thing.
After a few hours, all the clouds started to disperse as quickly they appeared, making others doubt themselves if this phenomenon even happened.
Only now did Thomas open his eyes.
In that instant he no longer seemed to have the appearance of human, nor of a demon. It was indescribable, but it was extremely horrifying to all creatures in the forest that simply fainted out of pure fear.
At the same time a transparent pressure shot out towards the heavens, before heading even further into space.
...
Milky Way Galaxy, In a desert yellow planet at the verge of the demon domain.
A broken palace, with worn out walls, broken statues and towers falling to pieces, the last remains of a once majestic and powerful race that dominated the stars with unparalleled might.
In a ancient chamber a thousand feet underneath the palace, inscriptions and glyphs on a giant stone pillar began to glow, something that didn't happen for eons.
The few souls that remained in the palace fet their souls shaken as several men rushed to the ancient chamber. This relic was almost as old as the the demon domain, something kings and emperors couldn't even leave a mark on it.
Yet, on this day the mystical artifact suddenly broke into a thousand pieces from where thin purple and orange dots gathered to form a unreal symbol in the air.
Instead of feeling depressed, those few men and women with orange and purple hair and horns were frozen. Staring at the remains of the artifact, ecstasy appeared on their gazes.
'It's him! The king of the our fallen lineage has finally been born!!!"
