Building Interstellar Empire With Universal Synthesis

Chapter 223: Chapter 223: A Demi-God

​"You fought well, my little successor. But you are attempting to swallow the sky before your fangs have properly grown in. Sleep for a moment. Watch closely as your mentor teaches you how to truly butcher a god."

​Before Neo could respond, his consciousness was gently pushed to the back of his own mind.

​In the physical world, the hurricane halberd finally struck Neo’s chest. But it did not pierce his flesh.

​BOOM!

Neo’s broken body released a searing piller of crimson fire.

The heat was so incomprehensibly intense that the divine halberd forged by the God of Wind instantly evaporated into harmless steam.

​Aris widened his massive eyes in pure shock. He was violently thrown backward by the sudden eruption of hellfire, his glowing boots skidding across the melted earth.

​"What is this foul energy? This is not mortal power! Who dares interfere with the judgment of the Pantheon?"

​Undettered, the pillar of hellfire slowly dissipated.

​Neo stood in the center of the crater. His mangled right arm snapped back into place. His crushed ribs violently realigned. The glowing obsidian bones reinforced themselves with scales of dark crimson energy. His terrible wounds healed in less than a single nanosecond.

​When he opened his eyes, the dark purple galaxies were completely gone. They were replaced by piercing, golden reptilian slits that radiated the absolute authority of the supreme God Realm.

​The sheer density of his new aura caused the spatial laws of the Saint Lands to physically crack. Black lightning ripped through the atmosphere. Up in the corrupted sky, the Unholy Man’s Grail rapidly lowered itself, bowing entirely in absolute submission to its true master.

​"Interfere?" Neo spoke, but the voice did not belong to him. It was a terrifying, dual toned roar that shook the very foundation of the planet.

"You are quite loud for a weak, backwater regional deity."

​Aris felt a sudden, primal spike of terror pierce his divine core. He took another step back, staring at the mortal boy in absolute horror. The aura radiating from the boy was no longer that of a Marquis or a Saint. It was an aura that completely surpassed the ruling pantheon of this entire dimensional sector.

​"Who are you?" Aris roared, desperately pooling his emerald divine mana to stabilize his trembling avatar.

​Godking Eragon stretched Neo’s neck, rolling his shoulders as if waking up from a long nap. He looked at the trembling God of Wind with a gaze of utter, absolute pity.

​"I am the progenitor of the blood flowing through this boy’s veins. I am the nightmare that your pathetic Pantheon prays to avoid. I am Godking Eragon."

​The name struck Aris like a physical blow. The God of Wind dropped to one knee. The emerald light of his avatar flickered wildly as his divine spark violently rejected the overwhelming suppression.

​"Godking..." Aris choked out, his previous arrogance entirely replaced by suffocating despair. "That is impossible. The Godkings are restricted by the Ancient Accords! You cannot descend to the lower realms!"

​"Correct. I have not descended," Eragon smiled cruelly, raising Neo’s right hand. "I am merely borrowing my disciple’s body for a brief lesson in violence. Now, little wind god, let me show you what real Divinity looks like."

​Eragon simply snapped Neo’s fingers.

​CRACK!

​The sound was deafening. The entire atmosphere of the Saint Lands ignited. The corrupted red sky instantly burned away, replaced by an ocean of raging crimson hellfire.

​Aris screamed as the hellfire instantly latched onto his divine avatar. The flames bypassed his protective barriers entirely, burning his emerald mana directly at the source.

​"Mercy!" the God of Wind shrieked, desperately trying to tear the hellfire off his glowing body.

​"Mercy is a concept for mortals," Eragon replied coldly. "My student here requires your divine spark for his foundation. You should be honored to become his stepping stone."

The God of Wind desperately gathered the last dregs of his authority. He manifested a dozen localized hurricanes, compressing them into a massive tempest lance directly aimed at Neo’s head. He threw the weapon with all his remaining might, using the recoil to rapidly propel his avatar backward toward the celestial rift in the sky. He wanted to abandon this realm entirely.

​"Fleeing? How deeply disappointing," Eragon laughed through Neo’s mouth.

​Eragon raised Neo’s hand and casually closed his fist.

​The massive celestial rift, spanning thousands of miles wide, instantly collapsed violently in on itself. The spatial gateway completely shattered, permanently trapping the deity in the lower realm.

​Aris crashed into the invisible spatial wall, his emerald avatar flickering weakly.

​"I told you, little wind god. You are now his food."

​Eragon vanished from his spot. He completely ignored the concept of speed, instantly bypassing space and appearing directly in front of the panicked deity.

​With a brutal, unceremonious thrust, Eragon plunged Neo’s right arm straight into the center of Aris’s glowing emerald chest.

​Aris let out a horrific, world ending shriek. The sheer sonic agony of a dying god shattered every remaining crystal and pane of glass across the entire continent.

​"No! Please! Do not take my core!"

​"I am only taking half," Eragon mocked cruelly. "A growing boy cannot digest a full god just yet. But this will be more than enough to forge his throne."

​Eragon violently ripped Neo’s arm backward.

​Then, he pulled out a multifaceted jewel of uncontrollable tempest energy. It was exactly half of Aris’s true Divine Spark. The moment it was removed, the emerald avatar of the wind god rapidly decayed. It lost all of its radiant luster, turning into a pathetic gust of gray wind that quickly dissolved into nothingness.

Somewhere in the upper dimensions, the true body of Aris was screaming in permanent, agonizing mutilation.

​Eragon held the radiant Divine Spark in his palm. He looked at it with absolute boredom.

​"Now, swallow," Eragon commanded.

​He crushed the Divine Spark into glowing emerald powder and absorbed it directly into Neo’s chest.

​Immediately, a terrifying, catastrophic chain reaction erupted within Neo’s soul. The absolute authority of a true god violently flooded his mortal meridians.

​The crimson hellfire swirling around Neo turned into a blinding, majestic platinum light. His primordial demon bloodline roared in absolute triumph, devouring the divine tempest and forcing the holy energy to bend entirely to his dark will. His obsidian bones turned a deep, shimmering starlight color. His physical mortal shell was completely burned away and instantly rebuilt using the fundamental laws of the cosmos.

​His frail human meridians expanded into vast cosmic rivers. His blood became a terrifying mixture of liquid starlight and primordial darkness. He was no longer bound by the fragile limitations of mortality. He had stepped across the grandest threshold in the universe.

​Up in the command bridge, Noir collapsed to her knees. She wept tears of pure, fanatic joy as she felt her husband’s aura fundamentally shift from mortal to divine.

​"He has done it. He has truly become a god."

​Inside Neo’s mind, Eragon’s heavy, ancient voice echoed one final time.

​"I have laid the foundation, little successor. The rest of the universe is yours to devour. Do not disappoint me."

​The overwhelming presence of the Godking slowly faded back into the deepest recesses of the bloodline.

​Neo gasped, taking back full control of his body.

​He floated gently to the ground, his boots touching the melted earth. Every single breath he took caused the surrounding spatial fabric to ripple. He did not even need to flex his muscles. His mere existence felt heavy enough to crush a planet.

​A massive wall of glowing gold system screens flooded his vision, solidifying his new, terrifying reality.

​Neo slowly clenched his fists. Theincomprehensible surge of power coursing through his veins was intoxicating.
