Chapter 606
Zeke emerged from the shadows, wielding Leviathan while glaring at Baron who commanded the Black Corps members.
Zeke said coldly.
"Baron, I didn't expect to meet you like this,"
Baron bowed respectfully with his hand on his chest.
"Lord Zeke, it's regrettable things turned out this way."
"Regrettable? Strange words from someone who betrayed me after swearing loyalty."
Baron replied, looking up.
"I have only one true master."
Arthur Draker, the one who gave them the name Draker and ordered them to become the new humanity. These people worshipped him like a god.
"Lord Zeke, our master highly values your abilities. Even now, if you receive baptism and become a true Draker, you could join the new humanity."
Zeke smiled coldly.
"A true Draker..."
His dragon eyes flashed as he released a terrifying pressure.
RUMBLE! RUMBLE! RUMBLE!
Zeke's power, unrestrained by karma despite achieving divinity, surpassed even the transcendent High Tables.
Baron nodded.
"It's unfortunate we can't work together. But we have an ideal we must achieve, so we cannot stop here."
He snapped his fingers.
Black smoke flowed from Ingel's severed neck, incredibly reforming into a new head.
CRACK!
Ingel rose with bizarre movements, glaring at Zeke with her single eye.
"How dare you, you filthy bastard?!"
She screamed with a twisted face.
"Kill him! Now!"
The Black Corps members turned from the High Tables toward Zeke.
He saw Nigel suffering from karmic backlash behind them, with Nabu and Manna trying to heal her.
Zeke declared, pointing his sword at Ingel.
"I never forgive traitors."
Shadows erupted around him as the Black Corps members charged.
CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!
Shadow blades slashed at the Black Corps members, shattering and repelling them.
Despite his soul energy-imbued Leviathan destroying them, they kept regenerating at Ingel's command.
Zeke realized.
'They no longer have souls.'
Ingel grinned maniacally.
"Zeke Draker! Damned bastard! I'll kill you myself for sullying the Draker name!"
Black liquid dripped from her hands, incredibly transforming into copies of herself.
Five Ingels now approached Zeke, declaring,
"No matter how many times you kill us..."
"We won't die."
"Let us show you..."
"The power of the new humanity."
"Die!"
Five Ingels rushed towards Zeke.
Thread-like strands extended from their hands, trying to grab Zeke's body from all directions.
TSTSTSTS!
Zeke swung his sword to cut away the threads shooting out from Ingel's hands.
However, the threads stuck to Zeke's sword instead, wrapping around his arm and restricting his movement.
Zeke tried to draw power to break the threads wrapped around his sword and arm.
But surprisingly, the threads wrapped around his sword were absorbing his power.
TSTSTSTS!
As the threads absorbed the aura Zeke emitted, they wound more tightly around his arm.
Seeing this, the five Ingels opened their mouths wide and spat out maddened words.
"You stupid bastard!"
"You'll never be able to break this!"
While maintaining the threads, the five Ingels created sharp claws.
Then they all lunged at Zeke simultaneously.
SWOOOOSH!
The sharp claws Ingel extended flew from all directions and pierced various parts of Zeke's body.
SPLATTER!
Zeke's neck was severed, his limbs torn off, and blood sprayed everywhere from his body.
"Kekeke, KAHAHA!"
Ingel burst into maniacal laughter with blood covering their entire body.
But then…
"Ingel!"
Baron Draker shouted towards Ingel.
Sensing something strange, Ingel turned their head.
Their venomous eyes widened.
The Zeke they had just killed was perfectly fine, treating Nigel where the High Tables were gathered.
"Y-you bastard!"
In that moment, Zeke's corpse that Ingel had mutilated wavered and transformed into a black shadow.
The black shadow spread out in all directions, enveloping the bodies of the five Ingels.
"URGHH!"
The five Ingels trapped in the shadow struggled desperately to escape, but it wasn't easy.
"ARGHH!"
Watching this scene, Ingel finally grimaced and snapped their fingers, causing all the clones except the original to scatter into black liquid.
At the same time, as the shadow's power cancelled out with those liquids, Ingel was able to escape.
"HUFF, HUFF!"
Ingel glared at where Zeke was while catching their breath.
"You damn bastard..."
When she gestured toward the Black Corps members behind her, the black substance enveloping their bodies flowed back to the ground before returning to Ingel's body.
Simultaneously, the bodies of the Black Corps members who lost the black substance crumbled into powder.
The ability Ingel gained through baptism was very powerful, but it required sacrificial vessels as mediums. And ultimately, many Black Corps members became those sacrifices.
Ingel glared at Zeke with blazing red eyes while exhaling rough breaths.
"You bastard. I'll kill you. I will kill you."
Along with the maddened muttering, changes began occurring in Ingel's body.
TSTSTSTS!
The black substance she reabsorbed covered Ingel's body, and her hair began spreading out in all directions as if alive, strand by strand.
Covered in black substance with living, moving hair, Ingel looked just like a Nephilim created from the blood of constellations.
Ingel, in her transformed state, floated in the air and looked toward where Zeke was.
【I'll show you the true power of Draker as an awakened new human.】
While Ingel was awakening, Zeke was stabilizing the aftershocks of causality flowing from Nigel's body through the Kabbalah System.
He thought he could resolve Nigel's aftershocks with Karma Points, just as he had offset the distorted causality.
And his prediction proved correct.
When he consumed Karma Points, the aftershocks in Nigel's body began to subside.
SWISH! SWISH!
As the aftershocks subsided and energy stabilized, Nigel returned to her girl form rather than her true form.
Though the dangerous situation had passed, Zeke looked at the still unconscious Nigel and said to Nabu.
"Elder, please take care of Master."
After seeing Nabu nod, he stood up and stepped forward toward Ingel who had taken Nephilim form.
Looking at Ingel who was waving hair like needles in all directions,
Zeke said.
"Is that the true form of Draker you spoke of?"
Zeke could feel the powerful outer beings force flowing from Ingel's body.
The dangerous and unjust power that Arthur Draker brought in to designate himself as a god.
Zeke felt an instinctive revulsion toward that power of unknown origin.
Ingel looked down at Zeke and shouted
【We are different from fakes like you! Worship the power of the new humanity!】
Ingel's hair surged and flew toward Zeke.
At the same time, Zeke stretched out his hand.
WOOOONG!
The divine status of constellation name ‘One Who Crossed the Wall’ flowed from his body.
CRACKLE!
When the divine status manifested in the phenomenal world, causality aftershocks occurred around Zeke's body.
But since Zeke's body was immune to karma's restrictions, he ignored this and continued raising his power.
Then Ingel's hair that touched Zeke's power domain began turning to dust.
Ingel retreated in surprise.
【H-how?】
Zeke floated his body in the air like Ingel and said,
"Ingel, how foolish. You merely wielded fake power received from a fake god. It may have been powerful among fakes, but before true constellation power, its true nature is inevitably revealed."
Suddenly golden light radiated from Zeke's body as the power of great purification spread in all directions.
TSTSTSTS!
【URGHH!】
When exposed to the light of great purification Zeke emitted, the black substances enveloping Ingel's body began convulsing.
Finally Ingel tried to retreat from the light Zeke emitted.
But Zeke wouldn't just watch this happen.
When he stretched out his hand, swords made of golden light appeared, and when he pointed at Ingel, the golden swords flew forward rapidly.
SWOOSH! SWOOSH!!
Ingel tried blocking the golden swords Zeke launched with her hair but it was useless.
The swords melted through Ingel's hair, piercing through and penetrating her body.
THUDDDDD!
The black substances enveloping Ingel's body couldn't block the golden swords Zeke launched.
Ingel, with swords piercing her entire body, screamed.
【ARGHHHH!】
Meanwhile, the light of great purification flowing from the golden swords purified her unjust power.
Finally the black substances flowed down from Ingel's body like filthy mud.
【AHHHHH!】
When the flowing black substances crumbled, Ingel's hidden form was revealed.
Her skin had all peeled off and she was in agony.
【Impossible! This can't be!】
Ingel went berserk and pulled aside her eye patch, revealing her hidden eye.
Soon Ingel's left eye, sewn with thread, began wavering.
CRACKLE!
With an unpleasant sound, the threads sewing Ingel's eye burst out.
Something sealed flashed as endless darkness appeared within.
Soon amorphous black substance flowed out from that darkness connected to Ingel's eye.
As soon as that substance manifested in the phenomenal world, it began taking form while swelling with a terrible stench.
KIAAAA!
Rainbow colors rippled on the black substance's surface, and sharp teeth, strange-shaped pupils, and children's hands and feet emerged from the sticky mass of flesh with undefined form.
【KUHEURGHH!】
The more the amorphous being flowed from her eye, the more Ingel choked and trembled as if in agony.
Then at some point, Ingel's body also began melting and liquefying, losing form and being absorbed by the amorphous substances.
Soon Ingel's body disappeared and only a giant mass of flesh full of stench remained.
Zeke frowned at the giant mass of flesh Ingel created.
This was because the energy felt from that mass of flesh wasn't unfamiliar.
'The Herald of the Apocalypse.'
What was felt from the black mass of flesh was none other than angelic power.
