Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 315

The Angel understood that if Neo managed to save the world, the present would change.

A lush world filled with life would appear instead of a world filled with maggots and decay.

Vibrant forests, clear skies, and rivers singing with life—the opposite of the rotting, gray husk they stood upon.

What would happen to Professor Daniel, Neo, and the Angel?

Professor Daniel would return to the future, from where he had come.

Since it was a paradox loop, nothing would change for him.

However, Neo and the Angel had nowhere to go.

They were ’errors.’

They existed in the destroyed world, not the world filled with life.

If Neo succeeded in saving the past, the present would change.

The destroyed world would vanish, along with Neo and the Angel, and be replaced by a world filled with life.

’Stop it, you self-sacrificing asshole—’

"You… don’t need to worry," Neo suddenly spoke.

His voice was weak, trembling like a dying ember.

"I’m not… dying until I… become the strongest…."

’You can’t even talk! Stop faking—’

The Angel swallowed its words when it sensed a change in the air.

The surroundings grew ominous.

The dimly lit battlefield seemed to shiver as if acknowledging the overwhelming force building within Neo.

Dark clouds swirled above, and faint whispers of energy echoed across the empty space.

Neo’s presence was swelling.

After giving away all of his techniques, he had become hollow.

He was, however, regaining strength at an unprecedented stage.

’Ascension.’

"So you know… what this… is?" Neo spoke through his ragged breath.

Until now, Neo’s Seed of Existence was filled with techniques he created from the World Energy of Earth and his own World Energy.

His Seed of Existence had been impure.

Giving away everything turned out to a blessing in disguise.

His Seed of Existence became pure.

It was a coincidence.

Neo hadn’t known he needed to give up everything he had gained from Earth and keep only what belonged to him would help him become one with World Energy.

’My Primogenitor skill was supposed to tell me all this. But it always gives cryptic answers,’ Neo thought bitterly.

Half of the slots of the Primogenitor skill were locked.

To explain why, one slot’s answer was: [Defeating an Elder Dragon and absorbing its heart would allow you to increase your Energy generation and recovery rate].

How was Neo supposed to find an Elder Dragon when everyone was dead?

The other slots of the Primogenitor were locked behind similarly impossible-to-complete answers.

’Finally, I can rebuild my body with World Energy and complete my Ascension.’

The air vibrated violently as World Energy poured out from Neo like an endless tide.

It surged and coalesced, painting the broken world in hues of blue and silver light.

The surrounding mountains trembled, and nearby rocks levitated, pulled upward in defiance of gravity by Neo’s awakening force.

The World Energy replaced his breaking body piece by piece.

His golden blood turned blue.

The World Energy condensed further, becoming physical and turning into muscles.

His bones regrew, much stronger than before.

Organs, nerves, skin, hair, nails—

His entire body was reforged with pure World Energy.

Neo exhaled.

The ground cracked beneath him as his presence pressed outward.

The once-stale air now pulsed with Death and intensity. _{freeωebnovēl.c૦m}

He could feel a power similar yet different from mana and Divine Energy flowing through his veins.

He had become a true Ascender.

Only the Angel understood the importance of Neo’s ascension.

Ascenders were called by many names:

God Slayers.

Heavenbreakers.

These were the beings who defied the Fate given to them and forged their destinies with their own hands.

"Looked enough?" Neo asked.

He had become a Heavenbreaker.

However...

It didn’t change his current situation.

His body started to break again.

The erosion of Time, which had slowed after he ascended, was unstoppable.

The pace of erosion was increasing again—slowly, yet surely.

Time wouldn’t stop until it had erased Neo entirely.

While his body was breaking, Neo’s gaze was fixed on Professor Daniel, who stood amidst the rubbles.
