Chapter 657: Aura full of rage and madness

Waves that carried all the colors in the spectrum and yet, at the same time, contained an absolute black. That assaulted Ezequiel’s optic nerves, making his eyes bleed and his brain burn due to the overload.

The waves of sensory information were so much that he barely managed to keep his eyes open for five seconds before shutting down his sense of sight.

Despite the difficulty and pain, the Supreme Neo-Demon’s will did not waver. He kept repeating the process over and over again until his sense of sight finally adapted to this new environment. 

Once it did, all those raging colors and absolute black transformed into what the Supreme Neo-Demon could only describe as a majestic abstract painting. 

It was like seeing an aurora borealis and a black hole superimposed above each other. One could find everything about the universe in it, but you needed to know where to look. 

Ezequiel used three months and twenty days for his sight to adapt to this dimension, having spent a little more than six months for his basic five senses in total.

He still had almost one year and a half to take that step forward, but now came the most challenging part. Evolve his proprioception and chronoception so they would work in this dimension.

Time and space did not exist in this dimension as there were no laws that guided them. Although that was not exactly the case, it would be more proper to say that the linear time and three-dimensional space that Ezekiel was used to was not working properly.

Ezequiel’s Inner Origin Essence helped him evolve his five senses, but it would have a limited effect on proprioception and chronoception. And Outer Origin Essence was not meant to generate causality or bring order where there is only chaos.

If the Supreme Neo-Demon had the Cause Origin Essence and Effect Origin Essence, it would have been a child’s play to tackle proprioception and chronoception. Unfortunately, only one man had that power in the entire Prima Universe. 

The only path that Ezequiel could think of for tackling proprioception and chronoception would be to use both of his Origin Essences at once. He would alter his internal clock to work according to this dimension’s time frame, and his sense of self in space would change into something that did not work in a three-dimensional setting. 

First, the Supreme Neo-Demon tackled his chronoception. He handled it before proprioception due to the clock inside his Inner Law Dimension. That worked based on the laws familiar to him and could function as a guide to monitor his improvement.

As soon as he activated his chronoception, a surreal sensation assaulted him. It was so strange that it almost made him lose concentration. One second felt like one year, and it was impossible to say how time was advancing, if it was at all.

The only silver lining was that there was no dizziness or pain as he evolved his chronoception, so he did not need to shut it down every certain time to rest. Ezequiel’s adjustment would have taken way longer if it weren’t for that. 

Ezequiel spent seven months adjusting his chronoception to work correctly again, signaling the passage of time no differently than the clock inside his Inner Law Dimension.

Thanks to his hard work, Ezequiel still had almost eleven months to handle his proprioception, but that was the hardest. He did not have a guide like a clock to guide him in this mission, as by definition, nothing he built inside him could help him adapt his sense of self in space, especially not one without a tri-dimensional frame.

The instant Ezequiel activated his proprioception that majestic view he gained after evolving his sense of sight grew wild and chaotic again. It was not that his eyes had grown weaker, but he could not adapt to the space, making him believe he moved at a speed faster than superluminal in every possible direction.

Ezequiel did not know if he moved up or down, right or left, back or forward. Without knowing that, how could he fulfill the task that entity gave him and take one step forward?

Had Ezequiel not evolved all of his other senses before his proprioception, this would have already been a futile mission. Hardship had never been a problem for Ezequiel, and he worked as hard in his proprioception as he did in his other senses.

Just as ten days remained from the two-year deadline, the Supreme Neo-Demon felt as if his body had come to a halt, and for the first time, he managed to grasp a sense of self in space.

Ezequiel’s eyes glowed, and a large smile appeared on his face as he moved his feet. To an outsider, that step may seem to be heading down, but the truth was that was the only way forward the Supreme Neo-Demon could take in this dimension. 

“CRACK!”

As soon as he took that step, the dimension began to crack and immediately shattered into multicolored light dots. 

The Supreme Neo-Demon found himself in a black void, but luckily, this one had a proper time and space. He looked to the right and saw the forty Void Creator geniuses that entered the Sacred Trial, all in a state of stasis, covered by a gray force.

“You passed the Trial of Pseudo-Emptiness. Impressive. I made sure to adjust the difficulty to the maximum so you would die, but I guess you were lucky.”

Ezequiel frowned, and coldness appeared in his eyes as he turned toward the voice. 

He saw a creature larger than anything else he had seen before in his life. Even the Titan Primarch could only be considered a child in front of him. 

The creature had eyes that glowed mightier than supernovas, and the upper part of his head was a skull. He had a humanoid body with gray metallic skin, full of bloody cracks.

His aura fitted that malevolent body, full of rage and madness. It was so strong that it made the Supreme Neo-Demon feel he was drowning.

“Since you passed the first trial, let’s start with the second immediately.”

“Wait, I have some questions.” Ezequiel had to use all his willpower to fight the creature’s crazy and enraged aura to speak those words. 

However, the creature not only did not seem inclined to answer, but his golden eyes also glowed with even more rage as he heard that.

“Who do you think you are to demand anything from me!”
