My Soul card is a Reaper

With a bolt of black lightning in his hands, Azzy rushed at Baphomet, who tightly grabbed the twin daggers.

He stabbed them forward as Azzy reached him and attacked with the lightning bolt concentrated in his palms.

The daggers released a terrifying amount of demonic energy as they met the lightning bolt, but it was destroyed instantly, and the bolt of black lightning hit the blades, releasing protos energy into the blade.

The daggers were corrupted by the protos energy and turned to dust, while Azzy tightened his left fist and gave a solid punch to Baphomet’s chest.

*Punch*

Baphomet spat out black blood, rising to his feet after crashing to the ground hundreds of meters away.

The wound on his body was swiftly healed, making Azzy clench his fist even tighter, "That full-powered punch was enough to defeat Leah and even Argus. It didn’t do much to this monster. How to defeat him? I don’t think my undead monsters would do much either. Ancestor, any ideas?"

The remnant spirit of the clan founder gave a quick reply, "Azrael, you have already dismissed the very thing that can give you sure victory."

"The sword of radiance’s primordial death energy?" Azzy was taken aback. He then said, "But Lux doesn’t work with this transformation mode. We had a deal. Lux will accept fighting for me, but she won’t go against any Olympian God or help the enemies of Olympians, like Jupiter. If I use Lux in my human or angelic form, I won’t be able to strike the enemy at my current level."

A chuckle of amusement escaped from the remnant spirit, "That’s very simple, lad. Use the cosmic jewels to suppress its will. Unlike Vajra, they aren’t corrupted in nature and are divine. And unlike Jupiter, they aren’t the enemy of Olympians either."

"No, I promised myself that I wouldn’t try bending her will; unless my very survival is at stake. And also don’t want to switch to Tellus." Azzy firmly rejected the suggestion from the person who understood him the best.

"Hmm…" The remnant spirit of the clan founder pondered for a bit and said, "Then, in that case, give me some time."

"What do you…"

The connection was cut off before Azzy could hear his ancestor’s plans. Since it seemed like he got a slight edge in battle, although only for the next few minutes before his transformation’s Titan form would wear off, Azzy resumed his battle.

Baphomet was being punched left and right; the black lightning bolt was striking his vital points, but it was all for naught.

Baphomet’s almost instant healing ability could be compared to the jewel of life, and his divinity rampaging inside but being suppressed by this demonic personality of Baphomet was eliminating the protos energy that invaded his body.

As for his soul skills, he had already realized that they were useless in front of his opponent. Neither his arcana spirits nor his undead army would be helpful in this situation.

Everything made it difficult for Azzy to see any hope of victory.

This doesn’t mean he was falling behind. Even Baphomet is in the same situation as him. Azzy was in Jupiter’s titan mode, his body could take powerful hits. And even in the event of injury, he had the jewel of life, which would make him nearly invincible already, and his eyes of god would dispel any illusion. Not to mention, much of his abilities were currently suppressed by his present condition.

But then, after a couple of minutes, Azzy returned to normal Jupiter mode and Baphomet finally realized that Azzy’s attack no longer carried the power to deeply injure him or interrupt his instant spells.

Baphomet took this opportunity to tap into madness, a kind of berserk state of a deity.

As pitch-black aura enveloped him, a distorted roar, resembling a goat’s cry mixed with the growl of a lion, escaped his mouth, releasing powerful waves that pushed Azzy to the back.

*Baaaa-aarrghhh*

Continue your journey on empire

He tried resisting them, sliding to the back with his arms crossed at his chest. Baphomet disappeared, leaving behind a trail of wisp, and instantly appeared before Azzy and dug his claws into his chest; a sharp pain felt over his body.

"Sss…" Azzy couldn’t help but let out a hiss, but instead of getting away, he stretched his arms and hugged Baphomet tightly, tightening his grip. His bulgy biceps increased once again.

*Crack*

*Aaaah*

A painful roar escaped from Baphomet, feeling the same strength Azzy displayed earlier.

Looking straight into eyes at a close distance, Azzy smirked, "This is the part you die, Baphomet."

"Merge."

Following his words, his bulging arms turned into white metal, the primordial metal and the strongest ever in the cosmos, "Aeturnium crush."

"Aargh…"

The Protos energy from Vajra’s lightning bolt form, death energy, Jupiter’s lightning, and Gaia’s essence, all gushed out of Azzy’s body at once, attacking Baphomet’s insides.

After suppressing his divinity, they started destroying his body while his bones were being crushed by Azzy’s brute grip.

"Inferno fla…"

Baphomet was about to bring out the blame flames from hell, but an hourglass flew out on its own from Azzy’s mindscape at the same time. As it reversed its position, the white sand slowly fell into the other bulb, and Baphomet was frozen in his place.

"That’s the sands of time. Only Chronos and his inheritor would have that power."

That’s the last thought he had before he turned into stone, petrified by death energy before becoming black ash, leaving behind a spirit core floating in mid-air, glowing in divinity in one half while the other half is filled with demonic essence.

The spirit core automatically flew into Azzy’s body on its own.

"Quick, Azrael. Sit down and meditate. Let me handle the rest," The Reaper’s echoed in his head. Azzy was swift to follow his instructions. He dismissed his Jupiter and Tellus merge mode, turning into a normal human.

As he sat down, The Reaper crushed its will and split its power, the divinity supplied to his bones, meridians, and organs, evolving his true divine physique further.

His divine physique at once directly entered Tier-11, causing the bones and all of his organs crushed, inflicting him even greater pain than when his body transformed into a divine physique.

Meanwhile, in the mindscape, Jinn was fed the demonic essence. A layer of cocoon formed over it as if it were a caterpillar. The rest of the demonic energy rejected by his soul orb went to the Sage core. The divinity over there firmly rejected it too.

As a result, the demonic energy decided to attack the newly forming organs but the Reaper guided it to another place, letting it slowly form a spirit core on its own.

However, in order to keep its presence a secret from not only enemies but also Azzy himself, The Reaper hid it in a separate hidden dimension inside Azzy’s heart as it was reconstructed into god’s heart, which had so much divinity that it was next to impossible to sense the demonic core’s presence.

At this moment, Azzy stopped being a human altogether and became an existence, akin to Baphomet, a balancer that is divine and demonic.

Azzy, being unaware of the developments happening to his own body, just continued to meditate, keeping his trust in the Reaper. His soul was resting in the center of his soul orb, which resembled a star system with nine planets, one being ten times bigger than the former.

The process went on for a long time.

Meanwhile, the team of six 9-star experts reached the campsite and saw the castle looked like it had gone through a war. Surprisingly, Liam seemed to be in the group.

"Guys, look over there."

"The battle is already over?"

"But, it is still a day."

"Hmm? There seems to be someone over there."

Vice guildmaster Oriniel adjusted the monocle he was wearing and pointed at the figure floating in mid-air, "That doesn’t seem like the outer god Baphomet."

"Perhaps it is a form of Baphomet. The mythological records were always a sham," replied a teammate.

"Should we check out?"

"Guildmaster?" Oriniel looked at his guildmaster, who was silently staring at the scene and the only one who shut his mouth.

The old but healthy-looking Nephilim with a staff in his hand was seen observing Azzy from far away too, caressing his long beard, "Hmm…" he seemed to be thinking something.

"Guildmaster…" As Oriniel pressed him further, the guildmaster came to his senses and shook his head, "The divinity emitting from him is too strong and could even be compared to those noble houses of the heaven. It’s best not to offend him by disturbing him. He seemed to be trying to break through to the ascendant realm."

"Umm… Excuse me, Vice Guild Master Oriniel, may I have that monocle? The aura emitting from that person seems familiar." Liam took the monocle from the only pure angel in the group and equipped it. His vision enhanced by hundred times instantly, letting him have a better look at the person.

In an instant, his face lit up in excitement, "Guildmaster, I know him. It is the same person from the prophecy."
