The cloud of darkness and black lightning exploded in size as the vast amount of essence poured into the belly of the Demon Fox creating a chain reaction that sparked a massive explosion in the strength of the Demon Lord's essence.
Howling in pain and misery, the Demon Fox seemed to have gone insane, and it dragged in another great mouthful of Essence, ten times greater than what he had just collected, and the realm seemed to go still before a loud crack resounded across the heavens of this dead realm, and a massive earthquake rippled across the entirety of the realm, overturning the still battlefield and burying a mountain of bodies under the earth.
Crushed under the weight of this supreme power, the embers of this growing Will inside the Reflection were scattered into pieces, and the mind of the Reflection was snuffed out.
The Reflection had not anticipated that even if the Essence of a Demon Lord was still available for harvest because his Will had been crushed by a Primordial, it still carried all the arrogance that came from a being that was under no one but a Primordial. Tenebris may not be aware, but the violation of his Essence triggered a mighty rebuttal force that shook the realm.
Demon Lords also had their hierarchy of power, and although Tenebris was nowhere near the top, he was by no means a walkover, to wield a Primordial Weapon meant he was an elite among Demon Lords, and accepting his Essence meant accepting his Will, and even if this Will had been broken by madness, they were still inviolable.
However, the danger that the Reflection was facing would be nothing compared to what it would face if he dared to accept this Will.
Doing this would simply make him a clone of Tenebris, and that was not a good thing because the Demon Lord was still cursed by the Primordial Demon. If the Reflection followed this path, he would simply have a brief moment of awareness before he was assimilated by Tenebris and he would spend eternity screaming inside this dead realm, forgetting his purpose or who he was.
However, at this point, it did not seem to matter if he refused this choice because everything of him had been crushed, everything but the spark of his Will... it was Undying. @@novelbin@@
From the brief moment that this Reflection had looked into the heart of his creator and he saw his motivation, it became a source of strength that became the center of his existence, and even Rowan was unaware of what this line of thought that he had felt the Reflection collecting from his mind on the day that he created him would go so far to germinate such a seed of a powerful Eight Dimensional Will that should have the potential to reach the ninth-dimensional level.
At this moment the Reflection was a Demon King, and not just any sort of Demon King, a Heavenly Demon King whose unique essence was built from the foundation of a Demon Lord. Standing hundreds of miles tall and surrounded by an unending layer of darkness that was being bent towards his Will, the Reflection roared, pushing away the insidious screams of the Demon Lord, and began to charge towards the Sirens, his gait cutting across the miles in a flash.
As a new Demon King, the mighty Essence inside his body not only pushed against the influence of Tenebris but also fed his Undying Will, pushing it from a spark to a blaze, until it became deeply intertwined with everything that he was, and the Reflection reached the peak of the Third Dimension in the blink of an eye, the unique trait of Rowan's growing Will that began from the first dimension was also shared by him.
The Undying Will should have its limit at the eighth-dimensional level, however, since it was a growing Will, there was a possibility that it could reach the ninth-dimensional level, this was an incredibly slim possibility, but only the option of something like this even happening was so monumental it would have shaken all of creation if it was known.
Reaching a few miles from the Sirens, the mighty Heavenly Demon Fox leaped into the sky, jaws stretched wide as if he was about to savage the corpse of the crucified Siren.
The body of the Siren jerked, and her mighty arms that had been spreadeagled began to fall toward the spear that pinned her to the sky.
The plan of the Reflection was to tackle this situation using a two-pronged approach. The first was to become a Demon using the Essence of Tenebris, and the second approach was to use his dimensional abilities to infiltrate the body of the Sirens. He had made progress on both fronts and now it was time to unite his efforts.
The arms of the Sirens descended onto the spear, and as her palms came closer to touching it, they were covered by a reddish flame that burned the hand to the bone, and before long this flame was threatening to spread all through the body of the Siren and turn her and Thenos to ash when the Heavenly Demon Fox closed its jaws over the spear.
A bright light flashed, and for a moment it was possible to see the connection that existed between the Siren, the Primordial Weapon, and the Heavenly Demon Fox, and then there was a mighty explosion like a thousand supernovas going off at once.
Connecting with his other half, the Undying Will of the Reflection finally had the chance to bloom as he had access to the streams of time inside the dead realm. There was only a single stream of time, but it was enough to boost his Will to the fourth dimension, and the fact that he possessed an eighth-dimensional being inside their realm was enough to give him the knowledge of Space to reach the fifth dimension, he was in a memory of the past, and this was the primer that blew him into the sixth dimension, as the only living being on the realm who held the two principal forces in his grip, it gave him all of the Fate to become a seventh-dimensional being, and claiming the destiny of Doom Star made him step foot on the eighth dimension.
The explosion died down and a humanoid form with seven waving tails could be seen in the haze holding a spear.
