Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System Chapter 2061: Mind and Heart Demon [4th Update]

A figure materialized out of nowhere.

Moving with the grace of a divine being, he wandered aimlessly, his eyes hollow as he muttered to himself. He resembled a fanatic who had lost his sanity, stripped of all reason and intellect.

"Mind Celestial!"

The surrounding celestials grew instantly vigilant at the sight of him.

Among their kind, the Mind Celestial was the most ancient, predating even the Thunder Demon. He existed wherever consciousness could be found.

While the Celestial King was the very first of their race, the Mind Celestial belonged to the second generation.

He had served as the Celestial King’s primary confidant and most loyal follower, fully embracing the King’s grand vision. However, during the Great Battle of the Celestials, his sanity shattered. After fighting frantically against his peers, he was reduced to this broken state.

The Reincarnation Celestial and the Mind Celestial.

In that era, they stood as the two pillars of strength within the Celestial King’s faction.

Now, drawn perhaps by the concentrated aura of the other celestials, the Mind Celestial had arrived. He drifted across the battlefield in a daze, his intentions a complete mystery.

When a certain celestial inadvertently blocked his path, the Mind Celestial struck out with raw, unbridled force.

Though the startled celestial retreated immediately, he was still caught by the Mind Celestial’s power. It carried a crushing obsession that made him feel as though his very soul was being consumed.

"What exactly is the Mind Celestial trying to do?"

The other celestials kept their distance, watching him warily amidst the chaos, afraid to get too close.

"Mind."

Yanran’s cold, stoic expression flickered slightly as she looked upon the Mad Celestial, remembering him in his prime.

He hadn't always been this way.

But when the Celestial King’s ideals crumbled, his mind had followed suit.

The Mind Celestial turned toward Yanran as if he had heard her voice. His lips twitched, but his gaze remained vacant; her presence alone wasn't enough to bring him back to reality.

Suddenly, his attention shifted toward the Blood Celestial, who was positioned within a turbulent, crimson sea.

With no warning, he lunged at the Blood Celestial. Utilizing top-tier celestial power, he swung a palm that seemed to blot out the heavens, descending with terrifying momentum.

"Mind, you dare attack me!"

The Blood Celestial shuddered.

Endless torrents of blood erupted in defense. The Blood Celestial wasn't truly afraid; even though the Mind Celestial was a top-tier powerhouse, he was currently little more than a hollow shell whose obsessions were on the verge of total collapse.

Massive fists of blood collided with the Mind Celestial’s strike.

A strange, crimson light flashed in the Blood Celestial's eyes. He even contemplated seizing control over the blood within the Mind Celestial's body while the man was in such a weakened mental state.

However, he had underestimated his opponent.

The Mind Celestial’s strength surged downward, shattering the sea of blood.

He unleashed the Mind God Fist. While its physical force was immense, the true horror lay in its intent, which cast a paralyzing shadow over the Blood Celestial’s heart.

That shadow acted like a seed, quickly taking root and blooming into a Heart Demon.

Though the Mind Celestial was currently lost in confusion, his assault on the Blood Celestial was no accident.

The Blood Celestial carried the aura of the Celestial King—it was the King’s own blood, a presence that could never be fully scrubbed away, no matter how much he refined it.

The Mind Celestial harbored a deep hatred for everything, especially those who had sabotaged his ideals and opposed the Celestial King.

"The Mind God Fist? No... it has transformed into the Heart Demon God Fist. A single strike conjures an infinite Heart Demon, forcing his corrupted will into the very consciousness of a celestial!"

The Demon God remarked.

The power of the mind was a formidable weapon, and even celestials possessed minds that could be targeted.

In the past, the Mind Celestial used his gifts to envision a world of beauty; his spirit, much like the Celestial King’s, sought harmony and peace.

Now, that same power had mutated into a Heart Demon.

"A Heart Demon!"

The Blood Celestial reeled from the Mind Celestial’s blow. The physical impact wasn't devastating, but he could feel his will becoming tainted, a corruption that proved nearly impossible to purge.

This mental pollution was catastrophic. If it wasn't stopped, he would be consumed by Heart Demons and end up just like the Mind Celestial.

No celestial wanted to be subjected to such a sickening power.

The Reincarnation Celestial watched in silence. The man who once brought beauty to the world was now poisoning the heavens with the power of the Heart Demon.

He had swung from one extreme to the other.

At that moment, the Heart Demon’s corruption began to spread. An invisible, dark energy radiated outward; even a tiny whiff of it caused the celestials to feel intense discomfort.

It was like a lethal toxin eating away at their forms.

If even celestials were affected this way, a Heavenly Emperor would have been driven insane instantly.

As the Heart Demon God Fist’s influence expanded, it turned into a vast ocean of pollution, trapping many celestials within. The Blood Celestial, already afflicted, was in the worst condition of all.

His sea of blood lost its purity as black vapors began to rise from it.

Roaring in fury, the Blood Celestial struggled to cast out the invading force.

Meanwhile, the Thunder Celestial summoned his absolute, domineering lightning. Bolts of electricity danced around him, acting as a shield to repel the encroaching evil.

"I'll see just how powerful this Heart Demon energy really is!"

The Thunder Celestial launched a massive bolt of lightning. His overwhelming aura momentarily suppressed the pollution, his sheer strength vaporizing the Heart Demon power in waves.

Boom!

The Mind Celestial turned his gaze toward him, throwing a heavy punch laden with Heart Demon energy.

As the holy lightning clashed with the Heart Demon power, the Thunder Celestial’s brow tightened.

He wasn't falling apart like the Blood Celestial and managed to hold his ground, but the Heart Demon power was insidious. It was even beginning to contaminate his lightning.

"The Mind Celestial may be mindless and driven to extremes, but he is far more dangerous now than he was during the Battle of the Celestials!"

This realization dawned on everyone present.

At his zenith, the Mind Celestial was already a top-tier figure whose mental prowess dominated the heavens. Now, despite his fractured state and the fact that he was nearing self-destruction, his power had reached a new, terrifying peak.

It could be said that the more powerful he became, the closer he was to fading away forever.

Since his beautiful mind had warped into a Heart Demon, the leaders of the Gods, Demons, Monsters, Martial, and Thunder paths were all hesitant to engage him.

They could potentially team up to kill him, but his death would cause the Heart Demon power to explode.

Such a blast would contaminate the entire universe, and at the very least, cause the top celestials to lose significant strength.

They feared that once the Heart Demon power entered the heavenly cycle, it could never be removed.

Essentially, the Mind Celestial was a ticking time bomb of corruption. Everyone avoided him, hoping he would simply fade away or erase himself.

"Mind, your dreams have shattered. Your body remains, but your spirit died when the Celestial King fell. However, if you can find a new purpose, there is still a chance to reclaim your soul."

The Reincarnation Celestial watched him quietly.

Suddenly, she stepped through her Reincarnation Gate and vanished from the sight of all.
