Heart of The First Demon God & Soul of The Celestial King

___

His Bloodline is almost complete. Aeolus felt an incredible power residing in every cell of his body. Her slender, beautiful hands clenched into fists and broke the cocoon that wrapped her. Cracks appear from inside the bright purple cocoon. A blinding light shone in Aeolus eyes. He felt like he had been trapped for thousands of years with just one bloodline change.

The warm sun and gentle breeze underlie the atmosphere of this place. Vast meadows stretch as far as the eye can see. An animal that existed only in the fantasies of a person was seen before the eyes of Aeolus. Has he gone to a different place? No, it's just that Nothing changes this whole place that was originally a vast universe now into a beautiful world.

Dragon, Phoenix, and other fantasy animals circled a very high peak. Aeolus stared at the high peak before him, he slightly lowered his posture, as the force of gravity seemed to be completely ignored. With just one springboard, he completely broke through the colorful clouds and immediately reached the top. Beautiful clouds and swirling essence quietly filled this place. Now he saw Nothing that was sitting sipping her tea.

"Welcome, Master. How you feel about your sudden physical change, and never forget this feeling, because it may come in handy someday."

Nothing pours tea into an empty cup before Aeolus. Aeolus sat in a chair in front of Nothing, he replied.

"What happened here? This place feels filled with a rich essence."

"So now you can feel the essence, huh? A good development. The essence of Laws and Dao filled the entire field of this world. With the change of Bloodline in you, your entire potential and natural talents have changed drastically. Having an initial understanding of the laws and Dao here can be easily done."

"Should I practice here first?"

"No, first enjoy your mortal life on the Platenda. Big things always start with smaller things. Learn about all the things of this world. Don't forget to find a trustworthy partner because the higher your height, the more difficult it is to find a partner who can be fully trusted. This is all part of the training. That's the original intent of the System I'm about to tell you about. Besides, you're not ready for that kind of mentality either."

Aeolus could only remain silent, his eyes empty without expression. I don't know why something terrible is coming.

"Ah! I almost forgot something important. Take this, eat that heart and drink the tea I gave you."

Nothing throws a heart the size of an adult's fist. This is the Heart of the First Demon God. This heart was still beating violently as abundant essence circulated within it. Aeolus tingles the heart containing this display of countless galaxies and stars with gusto. Aeolus felt the circulation of Essence in his body become smoother with the presence of this heart. His original heart had assimilated perfectly with the Demon God's heart.

The unexpected happened, the imbalance between his body, soul, and origin became more severe. His soul felt like it was being slashed by thousands of knives, the soul's control over his body became weakened because Aeolus soul was unable to withstand the weight of the Glorious Royal Human Bloodline. His Origin shook like it would explode at any moment. Aeolus reached for the tea and drank it.

A chill hit Aeolus origin, calming his wildly turbulent origin. Meanwhile, his soul was still suffering with a heavy burden. At this moment, Nothing took out a small ball of marbles with golden and white essence colors that swirled like a galaxy.

"This is the Soul of the Celestial King, it should be strong enough to withstand your soul pressure."

Nothing threw the marbles straight into Aeolus head. His gaseous soul was now denser and finer. By this time Aeolus had achieved the balance of the three aspects of his existence for a while.

"First Demon God and Celestial King should be enough to be mentors for a while. If they do something weird, just use your Will to suppress them."

"Hmm? Why are you feeling a little weird at this point? What happened?"

Aeolus stares intently at Nothing. Nothing but looking up at the starry sky at the summit.

"Your eyes are sharp as ever, Master."

"I'll be gone for a while. Don't worry, Nothing will always be on your side. It's just me, Emperor of The *???* who will go. So, for the time being I won't be able to accompany your journey."

"Why?"

"There are some things I want to confirm. In the meantime, train hard and never give up."

"No, you're like a teacher to me."

"That's why as a teacher you must become an obedient disciple by practicing diligently."

"..."

Eyes filled with determination, that's what Aeolus saw. Aeolus can only smile and enjoy the last moment before their separation.

"How long will you be gone?"

"Maybe 19 to 20 years."

"I will conquer this Universe before your arrival."

"Of course, I expect a lot from you. Goodbye, Master."

The figure of Nothing turned into countless shards of glass. He will be gone for a long time. Aeolus stared around blankly.

"..."

"Oh, my god."

"How long has it been..."

"I have to go home soon."

"But... How..."

***

"So, what are you here for?"

"Oh my, oh my. Don't look at us like that, Rohzen. We came here to represent the Elf race, you know!"

"Princess, why did you bring Fir? He's a troubled man, isn't he?"

"He was the first to propose himself. He also incited the other elders about the solidarity of the two of you and your true friend relationship, there were still many reasons he made for coming here."

"Haish... Those old men were really weak with things like this."

The living room is now filled by Rohzen, Emilia, Zander, Fir, the Princess, and some elves behind the two of them. What does Rohzen have to do with the Elven race? Their relationship was already the same as that of close relatives to the Royal family of the Elf race. It was because of the many heroic acts Rohzen performed at the time. The story of his heroism is also well known throughout the western continent. He is a swordsman who travels the world while helping various people. He is a person with the nickname hero attached to his honorary title.

"You two are growing up fast yes, Emilia, Zander. It doesn't feel like years have passed. You were just kids playing together."

"Of course, miss Azalea. I grew up to be a good girl like you."

"Good girl. Oh! I almost forgot! Don't you have a younger son, Rohzen? I want to see it."

Princess Azalea's eyes shone with sparkles when she wanted to see the son of her friend. Maybe he thought he was a talented little boy, but maybe he would be a little disappointed.

***

Crack!!!

Space is distorted and broken.

A creature came out of it.

"Huft... I finally got out too."

Aeolus headed for the balcony where he spoke to Nothing first. He looked at the sun that was about to set. Before returning, he changed her appearance the same as before. However, her charm has changed completely. Her beautiful and dazzling face can enchant anyone in a romantic illusion, her perfect muscles that have been forged with stars and Runic displays splendor in her every move. An Aura of warmth swirled around him, making anyone who was nearby comfortable.

"Still too flashy."

Aeolus was currently leaning against his body as he was also digesting everything he had gained today. At this time, telepathy came from his father Rohzen.

"I'll be right back."

With his current strength, he didn't need any more magic. With just one step he would break up the space around him, with each step space-time would be turbulent. At this moment he was in front of the living room door.

'Wait, my body has become bigger... My clothes are getting tighter, huh...'

With a wave of her hand, essence covering her entire body, she now made casual clothes in a style that fit her body perfectly. His hand extended to the door, Aeolus knocked lightly on it.

"Come in."

The door opens, revealing a scene of several elves and the Aeolus family.

***

Azalea de Ash-a member of the Royal Family of the western continent Elf kingdom. The territory they controlled covered a quarter of the western continent. Where humans control almost half the territory of this continent. Humans controlled the Western to northern regions of this continent, meanwhile, Elves controlled the central region of the western continent which was where the World Tree resided. There are still countless records of diverse races on this continent, but their existence has never been found. Many theorize about their existence, but the most plausible theory is that they came from another continent.

The Elf race is one of the special races, they have a long life, high magic capacity, sharp hearing, strong intuition, etc. Yet with more advantages than humans, there are also inherent disadvantages to them. Difficult reproduction, the Elven race is in great difficulty with their reproductive problems. In addition, the period of gestation of the baby in the womb is quite long for humans.

What is so special about Azalea? Was it because he was the 9th Spririt Magician Circle? Or is it because she is a Princess of a kingdom? No. She became special because she was born with a special talent, Clairvoyance. His eyes that were like beautiful pure silver could tell everything about his target. Those beautiful eyes were at this moment staring at Aeolus. He was trying to extract information from the son of one of his friends. Rohzen, of course, was also aware of this, he did not stop Azalea considering her friendly and gentle nature.

"So, what about my son? He's amazing, isn't he?"

Rohzen arrogantly puffed his chest forward. He realized too late, that at this moment the blood was flowing profusely through the eyes, ears, nose and mouth of the Azalea.

...!

"Azalea!!!"

"My Lady!!!"

Among many people, the first to notice it besides Aeolus were Rohzen and Fir. Their bodies accelerated and stopped in front of Azalea. Rohzen's Aura entered Azalea's body, as did Fir who used healing magic to restore all parts of Azalea's body.

"What happened, Fir?"

"It is likely that due to the burden of excessive use of Clairvoyance, you should rest immediately, My Lady."

Rohzen and Fir spoke frantically, while Zander had already gone through the window in search of the best magicians and priests in healing. The Elves who acted as guards stood guard outside the room to guard their Princess. The stunned Azalea momentarily regained the sparkle in her eyes.

"You two, calm down. I'm fine."

Azalea gracefully cast a spell, making her blood disappear. His silver eyes stared intently at Aeolus, but Aeolus himself did not feel his information being unearthed. What Aeolus saw were eyes full of confidence.

"What I'm about to tell you is going to be a little long. Have a seat."

Aeolus sat in front of Azalea, as Rohzen, Fir, and Emilia moved away from the seats. Rohzen sends a telepathic message to Zander who is going to stand guard outside. Their eye's meet.

The charm of Aeolus, already completely suppressed to its lowest point, still affects the perception of those around him. Even Rohzen and Emilia were surprised by the change in her appearance.

"So, what happened to you? Has something happened?"

Something must have happened. That was what Azalea thought when she saw the two terrifying essences that dominated Aeolus body. He saw a pure essence full of peace, and a terrifying essence that would destroy everything in the world.

"Something strange may have happened."

"I see."

Azalea was just silent, she wasn't going to dig up any more information. She'll just trust him.

"Now I know why fate directed me here. Fate says that I need to guide someone who will determine the future of the entire Platenda. A man who will be the bringer of peace, or the bringer of the destruction of this world. My job is to guide you to the path of truth. Nice to meet you, Aeolus Avel."

Aeolus grinned.

"Sure, miss Azalea."
