"So you're a hybrid! Huh!?" ...

"Interesting!.. " Demon echoed! His lips curled! His cold gaze transforming into an amused smile!

Whereas on hearing his word and watching his sudden change- Aethrox Blazeshade visibly flinched! His nerves tensed! His mind grew disturbed! Heart beating in pure dread!

It's been many years since he last spoke to anybody! And the first time he opened his mouth after so long was all because of the awe and fear from his blood and soul compelling him to!

And after obeying the command of introducing himself! Aethrox Blazeshade was met with a response that made him feel as though his very existence was a reject! Like he was someone unneeded! A defect! A disgrace!

The sheer scale of this existential rejection he felt when gazing at the cold and disgusted expression of the beings before him wasn't something he could handle or describe!

And evidently this rejection only caused his already broken Will to rupture even more!! ...

This just showed the kind of influence the two beings had over him! Even without doing anything! That his very life depended on how they preceived his existence!

It was already in there hands! And he didn't even know when!! ...

"I wonder- How much time has it been since the last time I met an actual hybrid!?"

Demon whispered! His gaze watching the sorry figure of a hybrid between a Dark-Emberborn and a Shadowblight Demon with raw curiosity!

He knew that the former was a demon that came from the Line of an Abyssal Emberbirth Nightmare Fiend whereas the latter came from the Line of a Shadowblight Echo Demon!

And although the Progenitors of these two bloodlines were normal Primordial Demon Gods! However the origin of these two Lines!

The second order Progenitors of these bloodlines were both quiet terrifying existences from what he remembered at the time before he went into his long slumber!

Therefore there was indeed a chance that the Primordial Demon Gods!! ...

The sources of the two bloodlines could've certainly improved themselves and increased there strength in the chaos that came during the time frame he was out of touch with the realm!

Anyways this hybrid Aethrox Blazeshade perhaps not the first of his kind still had quiet a good purity of both the bloodlines with him!

Moreover the interesting part was that these two bloods weren't clashing with each other for dominance as they normally should because of the imbalance between them!

Instead they were living in him with a perfect harmony and resonance! Even complementing one another! Thus in turn increasing Aethrox Blazeshade's strength compared to his peers!

Demon supposed this Hybrid could've been considered a genius before due to this strangeness of his blood!

And the fact also stood that Aethrox was the first hybrid with such a constitution amongst the others that Demon had ever came across!

As for why that was the case!? ...

Why Aethrox Blazeshade's Dark-Emberborn bloodline which was 70 percent didn't try to devour the weaker one! The Shadowblight bloodline which was only 30 percent!?

Considering when demons are synonymous with destruction! Then it obviously goes without saying that there own blood also wouldn't be much different! Yet despite this why the two bloodline were in harmony and resonance!?

Why were they in a balance!? Why was the stronger blood not destroying the weaker one!? ...

Actually the answer to all these questions was very simple! And even aside from his identity- It still wasn't anything hard for Demon to know the answer either!

Certainly not when it was laid bare before his eyes!! ...

The absolute balance between the two bloods inside Aethrox Blazeshade was only maintained because of his unique physique! Something which he was born with! Something which was birthed when the two bloods had actually clashed with one another in his mother's womb!

How it happened didn't interest demon!! ...

Though he could still guess! At that time Aethrox mother should've been in a lot of agony! And should've also realized that if things continued as they were! Then her child would most probably not survive!

Therefore Demon imagined that she must have consumed some unique resource! Made from materials that helped in passifying the two berserk bloodlines inside her womb clashing within her baby!

Afterwards with some conscious effort from herself too!! ...

She would've tried to keep the two bloodlines in a passive state as much as she could! At which point something strange must have happened unbeknownst to her! Something beyond her comprehension!

That should've caused a portion of the two bloods to come together and combine with one another! Thus giving form to the unique seed that later bloomed into his unique physique!

As for why the bloods were imbalanced inside Aethrox Blazeshade!! ...

There was only one answer to that! An obvious one in fact! His father must have been stronger than his mother! Either in terms of his prowess or his strength or maybe even both!

Evidently it wasn't a topic that Demon was interested in knowing even if he perfectly could! As peering into the Mortal's past wasn't anything much for him!

But he didn't do that because why should he!? ...

Anyways currently Aethrox's unique physique was the only thing that was keeping him alive! Considering with his pure blood and how unbalanced it was!

It was no brainer what would've happened to him in an otherwise scenario!! ...

As normally for a hybrid to be born both the bloods had to be same in purity and strength! Not to mention they also had to form a perfect balance so to keep each other in check!

Otherwise if there wasn't that balance or if the balance was broken!? ...

Then the chaos within oneself that would ensue afterwards would undoubtedly give the individual sometimes an agonisingly long or sometimes an instant death!

No matter who it was!! ...

Furthermore though it was true that none of the progenitors! Both the first order and the second order were fond of any Hybrids in general!

However it also couldn't be denied that between a pure blooded demon and a hybrid! The latter always had an edge! An advantage over the former towards creating there own path and giving form to there own Archetype!

Something which was the main hurdle one had to cross before they could even dream about reaching the Fifth Phase of Ascension!

And without it anyone who reached the Fourth Phase certainly would be considered an ordinary or a normal True God! After all it was a cosmic fact that could never be denied!

"I suppose it has been a very long time! Enough that I don't even remember how long!?" Demon answered! His expression turning contemplative! "Guess what!?" He suddenly voiced!

His eyes refocused on Aethrox Blazeshade! Who shrank with trepidation!! ...

As from there words! It wasn't hard for him to grasp that the two demons before him! Evidently weren't a fan of Hybrids! And him being one had left a bad taste in there mouths!

However his trepidation didn't come from the fact that he would loose the only opportunity capable of delivering his deep seated vengeance- No!

Rather it came from the dark sensation that urged him to simply end himself!! ...

His life all because of being a disappointment to the two beings standing before him! Which made him feel as if his very existence was pointless! Like it wasn't needed anymore!

And this really horrified him!! ...

Considering even after suffering through all those nightmares that was his miserable life! Aethrox Blazeshade had never even once thought about ending himself or ever felt like he was disgusting for being born a hybrid! Therefore he should simply kill himself!

Like he was feeling presently! That Hope in him- It was the only current that kept him afloat! That prevented him from drowning in his own darkness! That was eager to completely swallow him!

Meaning now for him to suddenly feel like he was unneeded! One could understand the state his heart! Mind and soul were currently in!

Still Aethrox Blazeshade listened!

As what could he have even done otherwise- Absolutely nothing! He wasn't capable of! Not even in a million years! Not even when he was at his zenith! When he wasn't injured!

He couldn't have done anything to the beings before him! Who controlled him like some amusing toy! And he also perfectly knew that- He had no choice but to submit because he was weak!

And in this realm weakness was and is considered a synonymous of slave and subservience!! ...

The realm has always been like this since the dawn of time and unquestionable it would remain like this since the end of time!

Aethrox Blazeshade didn't even care or knew where did the two enigmatic entities playing with his existence even come from!?

Then again it did not matter either! The important thing was that his life was in there hands! And his existence wasn't something they were fond of!

He clenched his jaws! Fiercely fighting against the sensation that made him feel repulsed at himself! He fought with everything he had!

Determined to not let the sheer disgust he felt towards himself consum his conscience! Consume him whole!! ...

Meanwhile Apxsinuous finding amusement at the Mortal's desperate attempt towards keeping his Will intact! Continued forward!! ... ... ... ... ...
