Chapter 100: Fighting a god, Primordial...?
Sylvanus didn't react at first, but after sensing the mana increase in that orb, he immediately decided to back away, but it was too late.
The dark orb was blasted right in front of his face. Evan poured a huge amount of his mana into it while launching it towards Sylvanus.
The orb sent him flying and it blasted with a loud *Boom*.
The whole place became too bright and all of the things inside were burned out in the flames from the attack.
Evan was unscathed from it, as he created a barrier around him to nullify any attacks on him.
He looked at Sylvanus, who took the full brunt of the attack all by himself and was still standing while Evan's demonic flames were burning around him.
'What?!'
Evan exclaimed in shock.
Then a hysteric laughter echoed throughout the entire barrier.
"Hahahahahaha... did you really think you would be able to hurt me even a little? But I do have to praise your guts for trying to pull such a stunt on me."
He swung his hand, and all the demonic flames were blown away in an instant.
Evan was stunned by this. But he quickly recovered himself and marched himself towards Sylvanus by increasing his speed from the wind god's fury.
Evan appeared in front of him in an instant and punched hard in his face with all his strength.
His punch sent a terrifying gust of wind toward Sylvanus; all the nearby rumbles were blown away with that punch. It even made a huge crater on the ground.
But Sylvanus only felt s slight itch after Evan's punch.
After not feeling anything from it, he mocked Evan saying, "Is this the best you can do? Truly pathetic."
He said with a grin, picked Evan into his guts, and sent him flying.
Evan was flown away and got slammed into the end of the barrier with his cuts shattered to pieces.
*Blarg* *Cough*
Evan coughed and vomited a mouthful of his blood and looked at his abdomen which was healing at a rapid pace.
"This motherfucker... he almost killed me with that kick. We have a difference of 200 stats. I don't think there is a way for me to win at all."
[Host, your chances of winning are almost none existent. So follow my instructions. I don't know if it's gonna work or not, but I have a hunch that you will survive.]
The system said anxiously after Evan was almost one-shot by Sylvanus.
"You have a way?! What does it tell me? I don't care what I have to do, I am gonna kill this bastard."
[I am not sure yet, but I really feel you will pull it off.]
<If what mothers told me is true, then it shouldn't kill him.>
[A/N: First of all, I would like to apologize for my mistake to you all. I am actually planning to add the systems thought to itself in < >. If you don't like it, then do tell me I will drop it.]
[Use the demonic energy pills that you have left.]
'But I will be needing a physique to handle that.'
[I have observed you long enough now, host. You might not be able to cultivate without a physique, but you can handle it, trust me.]
Evan wasn't hesitant to follow the instructions of the system right now.
'All right, then.'
He accepted it and took out the demonic energy pills from the system storage. He only took out what was needed for him to balance it out with his mana.
Then, in a single bite, they gulped down all the pills. The pills began to do their work immediately.
Evan instantly felt the huge amount of demonic energy flowing into his dantian.
He already knew the process of turning his mana into spiritual energy, so he did as he told Lyra before.
It didn't take him a lot of time to do all this, and Sylvanus was just watching him with amusement as he knew no matter what Evan did, his defeat was inevitable.
Evan quickly focused all his mind to gather all the energy around his dantian and fill it to the brim, but... sometimes unexpected happened to him.
He didn't feel the pain in his body with the mixture of two different energies inside his body, nor did he feel the feeling of breaking through the realm; what he felt was emptiness.
'Where did all those energies disappear to?'
All the mana and the demonic energy that he had inside his body just a moment ago disappeared from his dantian as if they were all sucked inside a void.
"Wait a minute...? Is that..."
Then, as if having a realization, his expression turned into shock.
It was then, Sylvanus had enough of waiting for Evan and decided to attack Evan himself.
He appeared in front of Evan and punched him in the face, making Evan fly away to the other end of the barrier.
"So you gave up your will to fight back anymore? You weren't even fun to me at all. And here I thought I found someone worthy enough to challenge my authority, who even tried to take the blessing I gave away from me."
He once again lunged himself forward and pierced his foot inside Evan's chest.
His entire foot went inside him, appearing from his back.
"In the end, you were just an ant. But maybe I should take over your body, I feel that there is something more valuable in you than that slave's daughter."
He dug out his foot that was covered in Evan's blood looked at his hollowed chest and sneered at him,
"You even have good potential; I will soon rise to the god realm and conquer it with my strength, then free myself from that prison of the God-king. That bastard sealed me for more than 2000 years, I am gonna take my revenge against him."
Just the thought of the God-king made him so furious that his rage sent waves of terrifying pressure inside the whole barrier. If their battle had been fought without that barrier, then it would be difficult to count how many times their whole planet would have been destroyed.
"Hey, insect. I know you are still alive. So wake up and willfully give your body up to me; I will make better use of this than you."
He sneered at Evan and a wide grin appeared on his face. He was finally free and even got a body with good potential that was God-tier. With this, he won't take much time to reach the god realm.
But, will he be able to do that? Of course not; it's not a story of getting possessed by some old guy and reaching heaven. It's a story about a guy who will make heaven kneel in front of him.
"Cough... You talk too much. Can't you shut your bloody mouth? It took me a while, but our battle shall start now."
Evan said after coughing some blood. He was trying to see deep inside him and finally found the reason why he wasn't able to break through.
After saying so, black tendrils began to come out from his hollowed chest and it slowly covered up his entire body.
Soon, his whole body was covered in those black tendrils, which made a thick, sturdy layer around him, and he grew in size as well, to almost 7ft.
He also grew two big horns on his head and a pair of two gigantic wings behind his back. The tendrils turned into scales like that of a dragon, and some points spikes appeared around his different parts that he could control at will.
Evan, for the first time, was using his demonic transformation.
This made his power increase by many folds, though not stronger than Sylvanus now, but not much weaker at all.
"So this is the Demonic transformation that I got from Mother. It's truly impressive, I feel it's enough for me to beat the crap out of you now."
He said after getting up and checking his changed body. He felt a massive increase in his strength, and that was enough to fight on equal footing with Sylvanus.
While they both were about to start their battle again.
Someone else who was present there was finally remembering a forgotten past that made her shudder.
<It all makes sense now. Why did my mother send me here, why did they tell me to stick with him, and why did I always feel the same aura that I felt that day? And why, even in this era where people don't have any higher potential than God-tier, he was born with more than that? All of that makes sense now. It's all because, Evan is a primordial, those forbidden existences.>

Thanks for reading everyone.
A pretty weird way for me to give you all my 100th chapter, with a big blunder.
I made a blunder today, and without realizing posted the wrong chapter. I apologize for that. Well, I feel that there is a bit of incompleteness in this chapter; maybe this is because of my lack of writing skills, but please do with this for now. I will try to improve it all as I progress further.
But as it's 100th chapter, may be I deserve some 5star reviews? Do so, okay?
Stay tuned for more...
