Chapter 99: Divine Phoenix Progenitor Sealed

Azmond's eyes widened slightly at this revelation. He understood that the progenitor must have been incredibly powerful, but he never imagined the extent of his accomplishments to be so grandiose

.....

"You are probably thinking to yourself. 'How could the God's in God's Domain seal such a powerful individual?' or 'How was the progenitor of the Divine Phoenixes not able to overthrow the olden Gods?'.

Well, the answer to those questions has nothing to do with the strength of the Progenitor of the Divine Phoenixes. Rather, his insane prowess could be attributed to one simple thing"

Azmond waited with bated breath. He needed to understand just what was capable of enabling the Progenitor of the Divine Phoenixes to hold its ground against so many peak forces. Forces that were part of a much higher plane of existence than the one where Asterion was situated.

Azmond's thoughts were interrupted as Loki's knowing voice was heard. "... His recovery speed was the key to his power."

Azmond was even more bewildered than he was before. 'What does this blonde pervert mean by his healing being the reason for the Progenitors strength??'.

"You should have noticed that 'Boundless Restoration' is a technique whose only function is to... Heal. It's a technique that took recovery speed to the next level and made it one of the most powerful aspects in existence."

"The progenitor of the Divine Phoenixes had reached a proficiency so high with Boundless Restoration that he was, in every sense of the word, 'Unable to be killed'. He was immortal..."

"Not like the immortality that lesser beings strive for. He had reached a level of immortality far more grandiose than what mortals ascend for from the mortal planes."

"The progenitor of the Divine Phoenixes had reached such a level of recovery speed that even far superior gods could only look up to it in awe! Every higher existence could live for indefinite periods of time, but the immortality The Progenitor possessed was in a different league."

"The immortality I am referring to is one that defies all common sense" Loki's voice became a little smoky as he began speaking of a power that could only be described as incomprehensible...

"You could destroy his body, soul, and even his very existence...."

"And he would still be capable of reviving himself as if nothing ever happened"

Azmond hopes were swiftly and effectively shut down just like that.

"This pocket dimension we are currently standing in, or as you like to call it, 'The crack in the sky' was something that the first few gods who took a shift here set up to serve as a sort of watchtower for the sea dimension, or more specifically. For 'Boundless Restoration'."

"All of this was set up just so Boundless Restoration could find its owner"

"An owner that it must choose based not on strength but on the willpower of its user." A low gleam flickered within Loki's eyes as he took a better look at the overly handsome mortal.

However, he wasn't analyzing his looks. Rather, he was inspecting a part of his that stayed opaque to the eyes of any existence. No matter if one was a god or a mortal,.

That aspect of every being's existence was the 'will'...

....

"It chose you because your willpower was something that was never before seen in the entire history of God's Domain..."

"You are an anomaly, Azmond; make sure you remember that. As much as I hate to give you credit for your accolades, I must admit that your sheer will to persevere has surpassed anything, even gods, trillions of times stronger than you had."

"You may even be able to change your destined demise and make it out of the future tumultuous times that lay ahead of you in one piece. It is highly unlikely, but the possibility is still there. Either that or you die, and all that masochism that you take pride in will be for naught."

"We only have a few seconds left, so I will tell you one last thing before you're transported out of here."

"Don't you even entertain the idea of dying, Azmond... I will haunt you till the end of days if I find out you have already passed on." Loki's playful voice echoed out one last time.

Azmond was going to retort Loki's useless comment, but his eyes suddenly blurred before he got the chance to

He fell toward the ground in one swift motion, however, before his body hit the surface floor. A bright light radiated outward from his body as he subsequently disappeared from the pocket dimension.
