Chapter 576
'Unique Domain, Purgatory.'
Zeke stared at the shimmering red light floating above Satan's hand.
But he could see something inside the red glowing sphere.
Zeke couldn't help but be shocked at what he saw inside.
Countless beings were writhing in agony within the flames.
Zeke looked at Satan with a bewildered expression.
"This is your unique domain?"
Until now, all the unique domains he had seen were spaces where time stood still without any living beings.
But Satan's unique domain contained an endlessly burning city along with beings suffering within it.
Satan opened his mouth while looking at Zeke.
"Zeke Draker, do you know what a unique domain is?"
After pondering Satan's words, Zeke slowly spoke.
"I know it refers to the most optimized realm where one can exercise the unique power possessed by their soul."
When Zeke stated the definition of unique domain he learned through the system, Satan smiled at the answer and said.
"A very model answer. Then let me ask again. Do you know how unique domains are created?"
Zeke couldn't answer Satan's question.
Even through the system, he couldn't learn how to create unique domains.
Although he had absorbed beings who wielded unique domains before, Zeke could only take their authorities.
Unlike authorities or skills, unique domains couldn't be absorbed or deployed.
Zeke looked at Satan and said.
"I'm not sure."
"I like your honesty. In fact, unique domains are an advanced concept that only higher beings beyond human reach can deploy."
"Does that mean... only constellations can deploy them?"
Satan nodded.
"In strict terms, yes. However, even if they're not constellations, transcendents or beings with divinity can create their own unique domains."
In fact, Chaos, who had obtained the status of evil god, could deploy unique domains using his split bodies.
'The unique domain that guy deployed was a wasteland where nothing existed.'
While those with divinity as strong as the thirteen zodiac constellations could create an entire city as their unique domain, it seemed that was the limit for an evil god who had barely touched divinity.
As he was thinking about what he had seen in the past, Satan spoke while looking at Zeke.
"To create a unique domain, you must know yourself well. A unique domain directly reflects one's unique qualities, as the name suggests."
He spoke while looking at the glowing orb above his hand.
"My unique domain, Purgatory, is the same."
At those words, Zeke shifted his gaze from the orb to Satan.
"Looking at your unique domain, you must enjoy burning everything."
Satan shook his head with a self-deprecating smile at Zeke's words.
"That's not it, Zeke Draker. My quality is regret and self-blame. This form is the image of that moment I regret and agonize over the most."
Zeke suddenly realized something at Satan's words.
"Don't tell me this Purgatory... records the moment of Babel's destruction."
Satan nodded at Zeke's words.
"I've watched everything from this world's creation right next to the primordial light until now. And in all that long time, what I regret most is this moment held in my hands."
Satan looked with solemn eyes at those suffering within Purgatory.
Zeke felt a tragic emotion seeing Satan like this, but soon shook his head to clear it.
'Get it together. He's the devil of devils. I can't let my guard down here.'
Zeke looked at Satan and said.
"So what is it that you intend to give me? Are you going to tell me what my unique domain is and how to create it?"
Satan shook his head at those words.
"No one can create a unique domain for another. One must find it themselves. It's one of the conditions for receiving a constellation name and becoming a true constellation."
He looked at Zeke and said.
"Since you haven't obtained complete divinity yet, you haven't received a constellation name."
Zeke responded with an indifferent expression to Satan's words.
"I need to completely absorb you to complete the conditions and receive a constellation name, but you're wide awake living in my abyss."
Then Satan laughed pleasantly.
"HAHAHA! You're amusing as always, Zeke Draker."
After laughing heartily, Satan soon wore a faint smile.
He looked at the Purgatory placed on his palm.
"My unique domain, Purgatory. I'll give this to you."
Zeke furrowed his brows at Satan's words and said.
"I believe you just said with your own mouth that unique domains are unique qualities that can't be created for others."
"As with all things in the world, there are always exceptions."
Satan shrugged his shoulders and continued.
"Looking through your memories, I found something very good."
"Do you know what privacy invasion means? Well, being a devil, you probably don't care about such things."
WOONG!
Satan smirked at the grumbling Zeke and gestured, causing something to appear between them.
The artifact that appeared was none other than the 'Primordial Jar'.
Satan smiled while looking at the pure white jar.
"I never expected you to have something like this. Zeke Draker, you must be blessed by karma."
"It's the result of persistent drawing. But what does this have to do with unique domains?"
Satan showed a surprised expression at Zeke's words.
"Don't tell me you've been carrying this without knowing what it is?."
"There wasn't much information even in the Akashic Code, so I just held onto it. Since it says it can only be opened with divinity."
Satan clicked his tongue at Zeke's indifferent words.
"This is probably the only remaining trace of the primordial light in this world."
Zeke's eyes widened at Satan's words.
"The only trace of the primordial light..."
"You don't know how surprised I was when I discovered you had this after being absorbed. Thanks to this, I had to modify many of my plans."
"Hmm? Satan, don't you have the authority of recreation? If needed, you could create it yourself using karma."
Satan shook his head at those words.
"Even with my power, creating this is impossible. If that were possible, the causal restrictions preventing the Sun God from intervening in the physical world wouldn't exist either."
A trace of the Creation God that couldn't be made even with recreation authority.
Zeke looked at the Primordial Jar with fresh eyes.
"Then what exactly is inside this jar?"
Satan grinned and said.
"That's what we're about to find out."
Zeke shook his head at Satan's words.
"I can't open it yet without divini-"
WOONG!
Suddenly the Primordial Jar vibrated while emitting pure white light.
Satan looked at this and said to Zeke.
"Zeke Draker, you already have sufficient divinity. You just haven't realized it yet."
"What? How is that possible when I haven't perfectly absorbed your soul?"
Satan stared intently at Zeke at those words.
"Do you really think so?"
TSTSTSTS!
Suddenly, Satan's appearance gradually changed.
His face had become identical to Zeke's.
The only difference was his demon-like red burning eyes instead of dragon eyes.
Zeke showed a surprised expression seeing Satan changed to look exactly like himself, then soon muttered as if realizing something.
"You mean your soul has already been completely absorbed by me..."
"Yes. If anything stopped that, it was none other than yourself, unable to accept that fact."
It was too much for Zeke, a human, to instantly accept the soul of Satan who had lived for eternal time.
Therefore, Zeke had been unconsciously separating Satan and himself to protect his own ego.
Zeke now realized this fact and looked at his other self projected by Satan.
WOONG!
The Primordial Jar emitted dazzling light between the two Zekes.
Satan's reflection spoke to Zeke.
"Zeke Draker, accept me completely. Through this, you will truly qualify as a constellation."
Satan's reflection placed his hand on the Primordial Jar.
Zeke hesitated for a moment facing Satan's projection looking at him, then slowly reached out his hand as if resolved.
WOONG!
His hand touched the glowing Primordial Jar.
Simultaneously, the jar's lid opened and enormous light poured out from inside.
Several messages appeared before Zeke's eyes.
[The status of a soul with powerful divinity has been unlocked.]
[User's incomplete divinity is being stabilized.]
[Due to divinity stabilization, the Elder Dragon's seal stone has been completely absorbed.]
[All special skill proficiencies rise to Expert level.]
[The user, Immortal, obtains complete divinity.]
[The Primordial Jar opens as qualifications are met.]
[User's soul is exposed to power left by primordial light.]
[immesurable power seeps into the Immortal's soul.]
WOONG!
The light pouring from the jar enveloped Zeke's body.
At the same time, Satan's ego was wrapped in that light and absorbed into Zeke's body.
In the light's power warmly embracing his soul, Zeke unknowingly wanted to let go of everything and be swept away in that comfort.
Just then, Satan's voice echoed in Zeke's mind.
-Zeke Draker, don't be deceived by the light.
At that moment, Zeke resisted the light's serenity and regained his senses.
He stared at the light's power, trying to fully accept its source seeping into his soul.
Then new messages appeared.
[Unique Authority Full Recovery reduces the impact.]
[Matchless valorof Unique Authority accepts the indescribable power.]
The light from the jar grew stronger.
[Immortal's strong will activates Authority Luck.]
[Luck's influence derives optimal results for the user.]
[Power left by primordial light reacts with Sea God's Glory, Forest Companion, Earth Guardian.]
[Power left by primordial light reacts with titles: Inheritor of Radiant Light, Fairy's Blessing, Theia's Blessing.]
The titles received from divine dragons he unsealed and titles related to fairies and divinity reacted to the light flowing from the jar.
WOONG!
The seemingly eternal light completely seeped into Zeke's body.
New messages appeared before his eyes.
[Primordial Jar grants Immortal the primordial authority '???' as unique authority.]
[Unique authority '???' allows complete absorption of powerful soul 'Satan's' power.]
[Soul 'Satan's' power is transferred to Immortal by his will.]
[Acquired soul 'Satan's' unique authority 'Recreation'.]
[Acquired soul 'Satan's' unique domain 'Purgatory'.]
[Completely inherited soul 'Satan's' power.]
[Completed Final Chapter scenario (Chapter of Fallen Constellation) mission.]
[Final Chapter scenario reward grants constellation name.]
[Karma designates Immortal's constellation name.]
[New constellation name 'One Who Crossed The Wall' updates to Akashic Code.]
WOONG!
The Primordial Jar vanished with a massive light explosion.
Only Zeke remained after the light disappeared.
He could completely inherit Satan's power through the unknown authority granted by the Primordial Jar.
Satan's voice echoed in Zeke's mind again.
-Zeke Draker, savior who resists fate. May my power be of some help to the cruel destiny before you...
Those were Satan's final words.
Having obtained complete divinity, Zeke could somewhat feel the weight of eternal years Satan had lived while perfectly absorbing his soul.
‘Though I can't use all that information and power yet’.
He turned to look at the sealed Twin Arch angels.
"I think I know what to do with you."
TSTSTSTS!
Shadows flowed from Zeke's body and enveloped the Twin Arch angels.
