Void Evolution System

1292 Emergence [3]

"Phew…it's almost over, huh?"

Damien finally came to his senses.

He couldn't quantify the time he spent in the sea of his Divinity, but he didn't really care. It was enough time for him to properly gain a grasp on the changes that occurred, and since that time didn't reflect in the real world, it didn't really matter much.

What was more important was the Divinity itself.

'What do I even call this?'

Damien was definitely confused. It had form, but it was formless. It imitated the Void, yet, the Void had no place in it.

It was a confusing Divinity that reflected "Damien Void" more than any law or concept.

'Which means, while I can't really compare it to other Divinities, it is in its absolute best state.'

He didn't need a Divinity based on law. His laws would be changing and evolving too often for such a Divinity to have any real worth.

He needed a Divinity built on Legends, one that would grow by Legend and wouldn't impede or be impeded by his growth in laws.

'Though, it's not like there's nothing there.'

Because of the nature of Divinity, laws had to be included, so there were a myriad of them present.

And…

Strangely, something he didn't expect at all.

'Senior Azure Dragon…'

Back on Beast Emperor Star, Damien had an encounter with a Godbeast ancestor who should've been long forgotten with time.

That ancient being gave him many things, including sealed knowledge, a strange trait, and an egg that was still resting in the Sanctuary, unhatched.

Frankly, the memories didn't affect him anymore.

They were unsealed during his ascension, but what he found were just reiterations of knowledge he already had. It was clear that nobody expected him to grow as he had.

But the "Azure" trait…that was different.

He didn't know exactly how it worked, but it had rooted itself in his Divinity. It had taken root in his body as well, melding into his flesh and bones as the lightning baptism took place.

'The immortal body is the Void Physique's doing, but that didn't change my actual defensive capability much. It just made sure I wouldn't die when I died. However, Azure is different. Because of it, I feel like my body has become truly indestructible.'

Of course, that feeling was bloated. There was no way for a newly ascended Demigod to have a truly indestructible body, but it was true that his physical strength and defense reached unprecedented levels.

As for the "thing" in his soul…

'I still have a ways to go before I understand what that is. Either that, or there's still a trigger that's missing.'

Whatever it was, it didn't affect the current him.

Damien looked into the sky.

"It's time for you to go, huh…"

The Heavenly Order was already dispersing, leaving the Ancient Battlefield as soon as possible now that its job was done.

Even though that was an entity without sentience, Damien respectfully bowed to it in thanks.

Because of it, he was able to achieve impossible results. Universal Law would not have given him nearly the same effect as those strange energy waves the Heavenly Order sent out.

Those energy waves supported the setting of the Void Physique and his timeless drifting in the sea of Divinity, allowing him to make the most of this opportunity.

But, it was truly odd.

Unlike his Universe Baptism, where it felt like the entire world changed, his Cosmic Rebirth was both quick and relatively effortless.

'Haha…'

He didn't want to be arrogant, but it was hard. If it wasn't for him already achieving the qualities of Divinity beforehand, how could it have been so easy?

There was no way to deny it.

Damien Void was a Demigod.

No, he'd be a Demigod the second he stepped out of this place.

'I was expecting things to reach a breaking point before I got out, but it looks like I still have time.'

It was a strange feeling.

Such a big event was just another milestone?

In hindsight, he should've expected it. He was stronger than most Divinities even before Cosmic Rebirth, and his mentality had been saturated for decades already.

'Maybe this is the benefit of being an earthling. Since my sense of time is still rooted in mortality, I matured much faster as well.'

He didn't want to wait hundreds or thousands of years to become who he wanted to be.

He wanted to reach that place as quickly and stably as possible.

And that was what he achieved.

Cosmic Rebirth really was nothing more than a small stepping stone for him.

'I do miss the effect Baptism had, though. It was fun growing so much.'

In a sense, he'd reached a limit. He'd reached a peak already.

As long as he remained in the lower universe, there wasn't much farther he could grow.

'Speaking of…'

He thought he'd feel a call once his Rebirth ended, but he was wrong. There was no call for ascension at all, as if the Heavenly World didn't want to accept him.

'The Ancient Battlefield really is a forsaken place. I guess I'll feel the call once I go back to the lower universe, but…'

He still had much to do before ascending, so he had to make plans for when that day came.

'Before that, though, let's make the impact I was missing.'

Damien looked through the barrier of law. It was quietly dispersing, and his power made it practically irrelevant to the current him.

Partial Existence Law and Divinity…

He closed his eyes and felt it.

He felt the weight of his existence, the absolute bliss of ascending from a lower existence to a higher existence.

The fact that he was here meant he'd finally stepped on the path.

He finally made it to the starting point.

And…

"Ahh, fuck. Who am I acting all calm for? I'm so fucking excited I can barely stand it!"

His heart was beating so fast that he thought even his current defense couldn't stop it from bursting out of his chest.

His mind was impatient, so impatient that he felt jittery.

The power at his fingertips…

He wanted to use this power!

VOOOOOOOOM!

The barrier of law finally started to come down.

And instantly, a massive wave of killing intent washed over him.

"DAMIEN VOID!"

Damien grinned.

"Haha, as expected, I can always count on him."

The practice dummy that had been waiting for him to finish for the past few hours, that man who he hated to his very core…

Immortal Blood Asura was right outside the barrier, practically foaming at the mouth for the opportunity to slaughter his prey.

But…

"Why do you look so weak?"

Damien smiled happily.

"Well, it doesn't matter. All the shit you've pulled for the past, what, 30 fucking years…? Yeah, I'm going to make you feel all that pain with your body, so be prepared."

Immortal Blood Asura could be considered lucky.

Damien's body appeared as a shadow to the outside world right now, and his words couldn't be heard.

Or else, perhaps Immortal Blood Asura would have died before he even had a chance to fight him! M

Nevertheless, the moment finally came.

Damien Void was returning to the battlefield.

Those who'd made themselves his enemy, those who'd stood in his way, all those with wickedness corrupting their actions…

It was time to make them all pay!
