A complicated expression appeared in the eyes of the Sacred Kings as they saw Venganza taking away all the memories and emotions related to Lucifer Morningstar from Beelzebub's soul.
The images ended there, and Venganza pulled his soul back as the Sacred Kings took out their consciousness.
"I am sorry."
Nero did not hesitate before performing a deep bow toward Venganza.
"Don't worry. I understand."
The Revenge Thearch did not make things difficult for the Nihility Sacred King since he would have done the same in his position.
"I saved all those memories and emotions in this Soul Crystal World so he could look at them after fulfilling his goal."
Ezequiel and the Sacred Kings stared at the crystal sphere, but their expressions were melancholic. Obtaining those memories and emotions after reaching Rank 10 would not transform Beelzebub back into Lucifer.
By that point, Beelzebub's willpower and identity would be so strong that it would not change under any circumstance. That is why the reincarnators gradually regain their memories from a very young age.
"What a formidable man. Worthy of all my respect!"
The Emptiness Thearch's eyes were full of admiration as he stared at the Soul Crystal World before focusing on the Depravita in the arena's sky.
Beelzebub could have secured an Extreme Rank 9 cultivation and the honor of being one of the greatest heroes of the Daybreak Universe, but he gave all that up for the single chance of rising beyond his limit.
The Sacred Kings were also full of admiration. Each of them currently held a power similar to what Lucifer displayed during the Ultimate Multiversal War.
Yet, while all nine wished to rise to the Fourth Realm, how many were willing to give up everything they had to achieve that dream?
Venganza felt the same admiration and respect that the others, which is why he and Orgullo had gone above and beyond in order to proportionate Beelzebub everything in their power so this one could establish a foundation high enough so he could rise to the Fourth Realm.
"What knowledge does Beelzebub have about that decision or his past life?"
Ezequiel wanted to know as it would guide how they would treat the young Depravita.
"He knows he is a reincarnator and chose to relegate those memories, but that is all. He has no knowledge about Lucifer Morningstar other than the historical records spread across the universe."
Venganza had made sure to hide Beelzebub's appearance to respect the decision of this one, even going as far as to make a mantle that could conceal his soul aura from Thearchs.
"I understand."
The Emptiness Sacred King nodded before his soul fused with the surroundings, allowing his mind to cover every corner of the Daybreak Universe.
The Daybreak Universe was dozens of times larger than the Prima Universe, and even for a Thearch, it would be impossible to cover it with their consciousness. Ezequiel was able to do it by using his Truth, but even then, it took a lot of effort.
However, the Emptiness Thearch did not hesitate before reaching every life form that could recognize Lucifer Morningstar's soul aura and speak with them.
"Forget anything you remember about Lucifer Morningstar's soul aura or his connection with the young Depravita genius named Beelzebub.
Anyone that defies that command or interferes in any way with the young Depravita's path will be punished with exile from the Daybreak Universe!"
Roku and all the other great powerhouses in the coliseum and across the Daybreak Universe heard those words in their minds. All of them were wise enough to decipher at least some of the connections between Beelzebub and Lucifer, but it did not matter.
There was not a single powerhouse that did not turn toward the origin of the voice inside their minds and bowed, indicating they would fulfill the command.
Even if they were the unruly and merciless kind that inhabited the Nightmare Inferno Realm, none would dare to test the Emptiness Thearch.
After making sure that everybody swore compliance, Ezequiel was able to relax and open his eyes. His face was pale due to the effort, but he would be fine in a few minutes.
"No one will interfere with Beelzebub's growth."
Ezequiel's eyes were decisive as he uttered those words since he would not allow anyone to affect Beelzebub's path. He then waved his hand, generating a silver orb.
Venganza and the Sacred Kings focused on the silver orb, and awe appeared in their hearts. It was smaller than an apple but had over a trillion magic matrixes covering its surface!
"His name is an Entropy Avatar, an incarnation of my Sanctus Battle Beast. He is a baby right now, but his potential is as high as Entropy.
Give him to Beelzebub once the tournament is over, but make sure he understands this child is a friend, not a weapon."
Even for the Revenge Thearch, that silver orb was an incredible gift. Entropy's cultivation was bound to Ezequiel, but he could unleash a battel power that surpassed even some Sacred Kings!
Venganza took Entropy Avatar with care and deposited him in a secure location of his Inner Universe.
"I will make sure that he understands just how valuable this gift is."
Ezequiel nodded as he gave one final look at the Soul Crystal World before turning his focus back to the battle in the arena, and waving his hand, unfreezing time.
Venganza did not waste time, storing the Soul Crystal World before returning to the arena's sky.
Although several minutes passed for the Thearchs and Sacred Kings, Beelzebub and Aion did not feel any of it, and their battle never stopped for them.
Beelzebub's majestic figure stood in the sky, bathed by the sun's golden light as he focused on his enemy.
"I see it now. You improved your mastery over the power you used to defend from Sirik's final barrage and anchored your consciousness to your mind to resist Azazel's illusion spell.
I must admit I don't truly understand that power's nature, but it is not invincible. If someone cuts their connection with the world, your ability to perceive their movements is severed. Unfortunately, that would leave them vulnerable.
However, there is another way to hide from your supernatural perception: using a power I dedicated my life to master!"
Beelzebub's Chaos Force grew more and more powerful, covering not only his Depravita Aura but every atom of his existence.
Aion's eyes narrowed as he saw that Chaos Force was covering Beelzebub, and this one was right. That power severed his ability to predict every move that the Depravita made.
Instead of growing frustrated, his smile grew wider since, from now on, this battle would be one that would genuinely push him.
"I guess there is no need to hide it anymore."
The Neo-Demon hand trembled as a layer of super-condensed cosmic force covered both of them.
Beelzebub and Aion look into each other's eyes for a second before flashing toward the other at full speed and with monstrous killing intent in their hearts.
"?BOOM!" "?BOOM!" "?BOOM!"
The Depravita and Neo-Demon fought at superluminal speed, with two hands and a spear clashing hundreds of times every single second.
Now that Beelzebus managed to hide his movements, the battle was no longer one-sided, but that did not mean he was winning. Aion's battle skills were greater than his own, and this one could still find openings in his defenses.
The Neo-Demon managed to land several hand strikes on Beelzebub, but he did not come unscathed. Now that he could not read Beelzebub's movements, the spear sometimes managed to cut his body, but they were primarily superficial wounds.
Although it would take longer, it seemed that victory would still come to Aion, but things changed one more time as Beelzebub's eyes displayed the same erratic pattern that those of the Neo-Demon at the beginning of the fight.
The Depravita tightened the grip over his spear and unleashed a powerful strike that pushed Aion away before rising into the sky as his soul force grew stronger.
Aion's eyes narrowed when he saw that, but he did not interfere. The smile on his face grew even wider when he saw the change in Beelzebub.
"Even if you have forgotten everything about your past, your soul still remembers the forces that once tempered every corner of your existence.
Yes! Grow stronger! So you can push me even more!"
A fanatical light appeared in Aion's eyes as he saw Beelzebub's soul aura reach its zenith.
Beelzebub's entire body trembled for a second as a powerful Concept emerged from his soul. It was the antithesis of his Chaos Force, making his body tremble, but it did not take long for them to reach a balance and grow stronger together.
The phantom of a gigantic yin-yang symbol materialized behind Beelzebub. One side was filled with the power of the Law Path in the form of Chaos Force, while the other contained the might of the Concept Path as a manifestation of the Concept of Order.
