Tears of Blood!

Deep in the distant Shattered Starry Sky~

A figure flew swiftly onward.

"It's been so long since I last came out. The outside world has grown so vast without me noticing! So much has changed."

"It seems rather nice~ and yet it's still a cage!"

Boom~

A punch shattered a massive rock blocking the way~

The figure stopped abruptly, Black Flame beneath his feet. He raised his head toward the distance, his face grim!

"Damn Abyssal Will. It found me fast!"

"I've barely been out, and it's already locked on to me..."

A faint wisp of will appeared behind him, clinging like a maggot to bone and following like a shadow!

In an instant, that feeble will seemed to cross an endless distance, streaking straight from the nebula toward him through space!

It flashed into view in a blink~

"Awooo~"

The will was brimming with chaos and unbridled emotion, with even a trace of delight in its cry.

An illusory phantom emerged from it! Reflections of mysterious Spirit Runes flowed across it, seemingly communicating with its primordial body within the nebula. In the blink of an eye, the will that had been so weak swelled violently, becoming a black chain that shot toward the figure!

The Abyssal Will had manifested directly in the Material World. It was horrifying!

Unthinkable~

"Damn it, I knew it~"

"There's no talking to a lunatic like you! You just destroyed that place..." the figure roared. His body suddenly expanded wildly as circle after circle of mysterious Summoning Arrays appeared in the void. The thick mist surrounding him dispersed, revealing an enormous body. He resembled a giant from an ancient epic, powerful and imposing, the scales and muscles on his body gleaming eerily even amid the stars!

His body continued to swell. All the energy within
