Apex Star

Chapter 22: Apex Star of Origin , Devouring

After settling Nova in his room, Denzel and Sophie were going back to their own to recuperate the energy they spent during the journey.

Finally left alone, Nova tried to inspect himself and see what changes his bloodline brought to him.

Looking in the mirror, he was surprised to see that his hair once again changed color, to a golden one this time.

Guiding his mind through his body, he was once again surprised by rhe scene of golden blood and bones. His energy reserves also increased by tens of times, and he reckoned that maybe not even a Stage 4 had as much energy as the current him.

Something was bugging him for a while ,and today, he will try to get some answers. Entering his 'Soul World', he tried to connect with his 'Apex Bloodline'.

Seeing a little golden star slowly taking form Nova compared it to the grey and white dots beneath it and came to the conclusion that the little golden star was his Apex Bloodline.

The grey and white dots were his space and time bloodline. The two were slowly trying to fuse peacefully, and Nova didn't want to interfere in this process.

Once again, looking at the little golden star, he tried to feel it with all his being. Then, as if something clicked he was suddenly enveloped by a golden aura that wanted to communicate with him.

A few minutes later, Nova slowly opened his consciousness materialized eyes and looked to be shocked. What his Apex Bloodline just transmited to him was shocking, to say the least.

From when he was a little kid being spoiled by his parents, Nova never thought of himself as an arrogant person. He never wanted to be first in something or desperately fought for something.

But for the first time in his life, he must say that deep down inside of him, he was always confident in himself.

Why would he take part in a competition of math when he was always first in school at studying or participating in a race when he won tens of medals and won the nationals?

He excelled at everything he did, and after he found out who his parents truly were or better say what background they all had he attributed it all to them.

Only now did he find out how wrong he was for thinking like that. Actually, it seems his Apex Bloodline was with him for longer than he thought.

Even before he was born, he was chosen by the 'Apex Star of Origin' as its wielder. The reason it couldn't communicate with Nova earlier was because it waited for the [Awakening] to begin, so it could have a source of energy to feed.

The hunger feeling it kept sending was because it just wanted more energy, and not only energy,but energy from its prey.

It wanted to hunt for his own food, to have a satisfaction, better said to feed his pride as one of the most old and powerful stars to ever exist.

The excitement feeling it transmited to Nova was when he tried to 'hunt' a prey stronger than himself. It wanted Nova to keep challenging his limits, even his Limitless Ability was obtained only because of it, or better said created.

Nova was shocked by what the Apex Bloodline or better said bloodline granted by the 'Apex Star of Origin' transmitted to him.

As he continued to receive the messages from the 'Apex', he grew more and more fascinated by them, even excited.

It said to him that if he wanted to become stronger, he should renounce at his treasures left by his parents. Nova was confused about this sudden statement.

Delving deeper, he understood that it was because his extra protections that he couldn't tap into the real potential of 'Apex', something that could help him in the long run even better that a few pieces of useless metals.

He found out that by pushing himself with every single fiber of his body toward danger, he could tap even more into the Apex potential.

Nova could accept all the requests of 'Apex', but the last one was a little bit outrageous, and he didn't know how to react , so he tried to calm down.

After clearing his mind, he took a decision. A decision that would shock many, but one that deep down, he really wanted to do.

To never be controlled or at someone's mercy , Nova knew that he should be stronger, not stronger, but the strongest!

After looking at the grey and white dots for a few seconds, he made something shocking.

Trying to move them slowly with his mind , he slowly moved them towards the little golden star.

After a few seconds, without as little as a reaction or resistance, his Space-Time Bloodline was actually devoured by the 'Apex'.

The little golden star started to grow in size, for a few centimeters to the size of a fist, a head, and finally, a few minutes later, it stopped growing at about one meter.

The golden aura it emitted becoming even stronger, but that's not all, Nova's cultivation actually once again started growing.

From Stage 3 Rank 1, it actually rose to Peak Stage 3 , feeling extremely comfortable. Nova was surprised to see that it wasn't over.

The aura suddenly became more pronounced than ever and took another leap arriving at Stage 4 and eliminating all the impurities in Nova.

The aura slowed down at Peak Stage 4, where it started to slow down. It slowed down but not stopped , with a slight push..

BOOM! The walls in Nova's room creaked apart, his aura continuing to sweep in the atmosphere.

From Stage 3 Rank 1 to Stage 5 Rank 1, Nova was shook to the core. It felt incredible.

In only a few days after [Awakening], he became a Stage 5 being, something like that was crazy enough , but when he learned that the previous wielder of 'Apex' actually reached the Evolver Realm in one week, he almost fell to the floor.

Still, the commotion he caused wasn't going unnoticed by no one, as people started to gather around the guest rooms.
