Rise of The Anti God

"Will you relax? This is normal. Yohr\'s Origin Seed is rejecting itself from Damien\'s body, thinking that it is a foreign body and causing some internal clashes of ethereal energy as a collateral effect. But soon…"

"Ha…" Damien\'s expression relaxed when the raging ocean of ethereal energy seemed to calm down, and instead, he was feeling a sense of coolness all over his body that was soothing his muscles and bones.

Luna continued with a slight smile as she looked at Damien\'s expression, relaxing gradually while his eyes were still closed, "But now Damien\'s death essence that is surrounding Yohr\'s Origin Seed has convinced itself that it is now a part of Damien\'s body and soul. Of course, if Damien didn\'t have his Origin Seed, then Yohr\'s Origin Seed could have killed him due to how powerful it is, making the ethereal core of a mortal unstable. I guess he got lucky with his primordial Origin Seed,"

Kalypso\'s lips parted in awe since this was the first time she was seeing a mortal absorb yet another Origin Seed, even if it was of a True God. This was just beyond her comprehension since something like this should be highly impossible, but as Luna said, only because of Anti-God\'s Origin Seed inside Damien was saving him by stabilizing the entry of a new Origin Seed.

It was no different than a big brother letting in his adopted little brother.

However, Luna continued in a serious tone, "But this is just the beginning, the acceptance stage. Now Damien has to go through the integration stage and how it goes on from there depends on him. He could lose his life if he does not do it right or does not have enough willpower to push himself."

"Huh! You purposefully made him risk his life? If anything happens to him I—"

"Oh please! Do you believe that your Master is that weak?" Luna sternly asked before Kalypso was about to explode with anger.

Kalypso suddenly swallowed her words since she didn\'t believe Damien was weak but instead, he was a mortal full of surprises and mysteries. As a mortal, if he was able to possess the Origin Seed of a primordial god, then how can the Origin Seed of a True God can kill him?

"Besides, if he was going to die from something like this, then it would only mean that he is not fit or worthy to overcome his upcoming tribulations. In other words, we all are doomed. This is something he must follow through if he wishes to achieve his goals."

On the outside, Damien seemed as if he was in deep meditation in a sleeping pose. However, on the inside, his ethereal core was undergoing a lot of changes but at a slow and gradual pace as Yohr\'s azure Origin Seed was slowly making its way towards the center of Damien\'s ethereal core where his jet-black Origin Seed was floating.

The moment Yohr\'s Origin Seed was in direct sight of the jet-black Origin seed ahead of it, its movements immediately got a bit jittery as if it was afraid to proceed any further.

However, it immediately lost its freedom of movement as an invisible force extended from the jet-black Origin Seed towards the azure Origin Seed, making it pull towards itself.

The azure Origin Seed immediately got pulled towards the jet-black Origin Seed, but the moment it got close to it, a tiny burst of ethereal energy occurred within Damien\'s ethereal core, sending the entire ethereal energy in Damien\'s body into disarray.

"Uggh!" Damien let out a painful groan as he suddenly coughed out blood, his expression extremely contorted in pain, feeling worried if things were going wrong in his ethereal core, especially after that frightening tiny burst of ethereal energy that seemed like a small explosion.

He immediately lost sense of his ethereal core and whatever was going on inside it, and his entire body was violently shaking and shivering, his muscles spasming.

Luna subtly summoned Valentina outside from Damien\'s soul space just to be safe so that she doesn\'t suffer any collateral damage in the off chance.

However, Valentina had no idea what was going on and was in deep slumber in her cute cat form as she continued to rest on Luna\'s hand, and she unconsciously began to stroke Valentina\'s soft fur, who seemed very comfy under Luna\'s caress.

But Luna\'s focus was still on Damien, observing each and every change in his body while Kalypso was biting her nails in nervousness, still feeling worried for her Master. She already experienced how close she was to seeing her Master lose his life by fighting Yohr, and that was quite a harrowing experience for her considering she was already blaming herself for not being able to protect her previous Master as well.

Damien had no idea what was happening inside his ethereal core, but he could feel his entire body slowly becoming colder and colder to the point his teeth were chattering, his arms and legs shivering as if he was suffering from hypothermia, and even the surface temperature of his body was no different than ice cold.

It was as if he was this close to becoming a body of ice though no visible changes were taking place on his body.

He felt as if his skin was cracking, his bones creaking, and his muscles becoming stiffer and stiffer to the point he was feeling numb all over.

Not long after, he was feeling so cold, he felt as if he was dropped into an icy hell for eternity where a large terrifying pair of azure eyes were looking down at him in the middle of all this darkness, making him feel chills passing through his entire body.

Those azure eyes made him feel as if his tiny little life was going to crumble under its heavy gaze, and to his shock, he saw an icy layer slowly covering his entire body, freezing whatever it was covering starting from his legs, his torso, his arms as it spread over to his head.

"No!!" Damien cried out while trying to get rid of this icy layer, but he lost all sense of his ethereal energy and could only helplessly watch as the icy layer finally almost covered his entire body and spread over to the last remaining part, his face.

"Oh no!" Luna, who was observing Damien from outside, suddenly mumbled as her expression slightly frowned.
