Chapter 1069: The burden that he bears

And then there is Tracing the Source.

This ability is also one of the ability that he has, unlocked but unknown how to use it. And like the Call of the Void, Azief had his own theory of this skill

When he thought of "The Source" he thought of the All Source. His journey into the Thought Consciousness realm also imbued him with some other knowledge

It could not be said that his knowledge is complete.

But it could be said that certain part of his knowledge about certain things in the Universe had deepened.

Tracing the Source, then could be related to the All Source. As he had learned, the All Source is a weapon. 

A weapon used to destroy and kill the Etherna

The Etherna itself is known as powerful ancient race capable of practically anything, possessing power over certain creations and destruction

Their essence, their soul or call it, a Will, remains even after their demise. 

It even became the very building block of the Universe becoming the Source of Law that birthed all kinds of Universe 

It could be that the Tracing of the Source means the Tracing of the All Source. 

Or it might be that Tracing the Source had something to do with the Call of the Void.

Out of all the other race skills he got after his race had changed into Etherna Monarch, this two skills, the Call of the Void and the Tracing the Source is the only skill that is not locked.

It is there. 

But unlike other skills, the explanation about this skill is almost nonexistent. 

In many cases, when he learns a skill, the system would help him absorb the necessary information or unveil the knowledge to him

Considering the system is created by the All Source, there is probably nothing in this wide, wide Omniverse that it could not deduce.

Most of the time, when someone reach a breakthrough, the information to break to the other level or realm of power would also be given to them

Like a quest system. But unlike games, this information is streamed directly to the consciousness. 

And as you grew stronger, the gamified feeling slowly disappears. 

The stakes become higher, the requirements are harder and when you reach a certain level, close to the Source, you could even slowly defy the system calculation

As your power grew in a way that could not be calculated by the system, the system would slowly glitches

It could no longer represent your true status.

Azief had always been curious about these two skills. 

But it is clear that even though he had broken through to Divine Comprehension, this skill true abilities continues to elude him

As for Skill Fusion, this skill is simply a support skill. At least it is to him. 

Now, he could combine any of his skill that he wanted even without the Skill Fusion abilities

All of it could be derived from the power of the law. 

This is what it means to break any moves, any technique with pure power. What is more powerful that the Law that dictates the very existence around you?

And then Azief look at then rings on each of his finger. The rings on his fingers had become even thinner. 

What he knows about this ring is as shallow as his knowledge about some of his skill. He could feel the connection between these rings and the legacy of the Etherna.

Azief then brought out something from his Inner Universe.

One of the ability that he now possesses is the ability to bring something in and out of his Inner Universe.

If he enlarges himself., he could be bigger than even certain planets. And there is a world inside his Soul, or his Inner Consciousness

That is the best way he could describe it. It is like some kind of space that could encompass and envelope everything

The power of the soul seems never ending and as such. 

Azief felt even more reverence to the one who created such soul in the first place. 

The thing that he had brought out from his Inner Universe is that diamond shaped blue crystal. 

It was this thing that had helped him maintain the condensed energy of his Law Avatar, making it possible to not go through all of it again

Azief had taken many risk, trying to condense his law Avatar into a soul in one try. 

Even though he knew it is too short of a time since he breaks through to Divine Comprehension, and it is not advisable for him to try to break through to Essence Creation, he still wanted to try

To him, it is the only way he could save Katarina and save himself. Azief knew what waited for him in the Seresian world would be traps after traps.

There would be hordes of Seresian demon trying to kill him. he did not forget that the Demon King Balfor wanted his rings.

And there is always a chance that the Demon king would want to kill him to end the threat to his invasion.

Azief unwillingly become the champion of Earth when he decided to battle with the Demon King.

To the eyes of the Demon King, there is not obstacle for him to invade Earth, if not for him and the intervention of the Orvanians

Azief was lucky that all of this factor is in place and as such, he manages to kill the Demon King. That would hinder his plan of trying to invade Earth for a few years.

Still the threat remains. To the people of the world, they do not know the burden that Azief had bear for them

Regardless if he wanted to save the world or not, the Demon King will treat him like an enemy. All of this cause and effect could be traced back to Azief decision of going to the future

This is actually the first time, that he could not solve this simply by pummeling the enemy to the ground.

He could not hope that Orvanians would help him and Earth again. 

The last time, they helped is because of the fact that Earth Prime has become the Multiversal Point of the Multiversal Convergence. 

The Orvanians would not interfere if the Demon King wanted to destroy Earth. It is not a problem to repel the Demon King. 

But without the Orvanians, if the Demon King manage to restore his power to his original peak, even Azief is not confident he could replicate what he had done before

the only one that Azief could rely on is Hikigaya, jean and the heaven Will which probably become even more powerful now that it has infused itself with the energy of Otherworlds.

So, Azief took a risk. By trying to absorb something that absorbs other things, where even light could not survive. He had this idea of absorbing all kinds of energy that is probably inside a black hole.

It is a risk. 

And somewhat foolish.

He knew but he just had to try. 

Because the only solution he found, the only solution he is accustomed to, is for him to become stronger

Azief did not hate it.

To him, the existence of the Demon King could be treated as a motivation for him to grow stronger. But, the Demon King touch Katarina. 

Azief could no longer simply treat this as his problem. Now, it is personal. He owed her too much

The last thing he wanted to see, is Katarina getting hurt. 

So…. even though he knew his decision is stupid, even though he knew it was risky, he go ahead with it. 

No one stops him because they do not know of such risk of trying to absorb the energy of a black hole into one's body. 

Azief was always the pioneer of the next realm of power on Earth. He is usually the first to breakthrough to the next level.

Hikigaya and Jena is still in the lower realm of Divine Comprehension leveler.

They do not know.

And at first he thought that it could work. 

Everything went well until the tenth law Avatar. 

When he tries to condense the eleventh law avatar, slowly the energy seems to went wild all over his body. 

His laws and concepts were distorted. 

When he condenses the twelfth avatar, the soul that he wanted to condense seems to changes its properties and attribute. 

At times, it become a Demonic soul, emanating essence of a demonic creature.

At times, it turns into an Immortal Soul. 

Then it changes into a Divine Soul. Before it could stabilize, it then changes to a Devil Soul.

It changes, alternating from one soul to another

The energy become wild and uncontrollable and at that time Azief knew he was in deep shit.

At that time, he felt the laws of Otherworlds. 

In that brief moment where he almost condenses all of his avatar into a soul, he could feel his Will reverberates around the Milky Way galaxy.

He could roar and the entire galaxy would hear. The Laws that underpinned the reality of worlds could be changed.

But, he also knew at that time, he was on the verge of failing. This is the first time, that Azief do not have the confidence to break through.
