6 Awakening and The Dream (Reuploaded)
While Nero was enjoying the feeling of comfort all over his body he suddenly felt something inside him unlocked and he opened his eyes. " Raise your right hand" was the first thing he heard and instinctively he did and a katana with black seath,white handle and a unique guard came out.
At first glance it could be seen that the sword was very sharp. Nero tried to swing it lightly but even then the sound of air being torn apart could be heard. "What is your martial soul name" the soul master asked curiously "Yamato" Nero replied while stroking the sheath "What a unique and enchanting name" the soul master commented and then said "Let's test your innate soul power" and brought Nero to the device used for measuring the soul power.
"Put your hand on the platform" Nero did as the soul master said and the screen showed Rank 10 after a few seconds." Oh heavens! an innate full soul power" exclaimed the soul master well it wasn't surprising as even now innate full soul power talent was rare. In the original story line innate full soul power was not something extraordinary just because it was from shrek's perspective. For ordinary soul masters innate soul power is still a rare
phenomenon.
After coming back to his senses the soul master asked Nero to wait here and ran away somewhere probably to find someone superior. After a few minutes he came back with a muscular looking middle aged man[ Here is his status no need to tell me] Aria showed his status without even asking.

Name: Yu ziqi

" Hello little friend " greeted the soul emperor by extending his hands. "Hello Mr. what should i call you" Nero greeted and asked him even though he knew the soul emperor's name but it was through Aria. "Ye ziqi you can call me Mr. Ziqi " Ye ziqi replied in a kind manner ' well it looks like he is here to poach me' Nero thought and asked "Can i go now Mr. ziqi" with an innocent look on his face as revealing his real expression from a body of a 6 year old would be stupid.
Ye ziqi was about to say something probably how grand spirit pagoda is and benefits of joining it when suddenly he froze and a look of fear appeared on his face. After a few seconds he returned to his senses with a scared look in his eyes and replied " Yes little friend you can go ".
"What happened to him" Nero thought inwardly while going out of the hall as Ye ziqi was still sweating.[Probably Sebastian's work as after he broke through Rank 80 speaking in a soul emperor's mind is easy for him but as a metaphysical being i detected his spiritual energy] Aria explained clarifying the situation. "So it was Sebastian but why? '' Nero asked Aria inwardly [Probably to stop you from contacting any forces until you are old enough to make your own decisions] theorised Aria which most likely was true.
After going out of the awakening hall Nero looked around for a few minutes until he found Sebastian " How was the soul awakening young master?" Sebastian asked even though he probably knew. " It was awesome Sebastian i awakened father's katana with an innate soul full power" Nero replied with a fake look of excitement and pride because no child will remain normal after awakening innate full soul power unless you want the world to know you are abnormal.
" It is gratifying to hear this Madam and Sir would have been happy if they were to hear it" Sebastian congratulated Nero with a slight sadness in his voice.Neroremained silent after hearing this as the feelings he had for them were complicated and even though they were not hus real parents but the love they gave him before his memory awakened was real." Well let's go home and celebrate it is not a day to be sad " said Sebastian cheering himself up and they went back home.

[ Now the status page will only display your biological information different skills page has been differentiated] well that explains the lack of skills.
" Aria what is my bloodline ability" Nero asked Aria as he was curious about the bloodline abilities. [ Look at it yourself]

Bloodline Skills
( Awakens when the required amount of bloodline is unlocked and gets strengthened after every 1 % unlocking of the bloodline)
Demonic-Human physiology (Passive)
• Demonic-Human physiology - As a descendant of Demon knight sparda and also being a human you have the perk of enhanced strength,speed, agility, regenerating power and longer lifespan. It gives the user capital to go on par and even slightly overpower the golden dragon king at the same rank in terms of physical combat. This physiology also gives access to demonic energy which makes the user's spirit energy stronger,condensed and larger than normal spirit power while also forming a demon core when the required demonic-spirit energy is obtained. Demonic power slowly grows with time.At the same time the side effects of demons which are bloodthirst,rage and other unstable factors are countered.
]
" Simple but extraordinary ability " Nero exclaimed as the ability to go on par with Golden dragon king showed how much of a bonus this ability gives and demonic power saves him the trouble of condensing the soul power and soul core.[ You still have to practice your physique yourself to make good use of this physiology and also cultivate because even though demon power grows with time it is according to demon standards not human. Vergil and Dante were exceptions as Dante absorbed Force edge ( Sparda's sword ) and Vergil ate the fruit of Qliphoth tree.].' She can't let me enjoy this for even one second ' Nero chuckled inwardly and saluted in an exaggerated tone " Yes my mom now can i sleep it's been a long day".[ Fine Good Night Nero]. " Well good night " Nero replied back and went to sleep.

Nero opened my eyes and found himself in a trance like State "Where am i Aria! Aria!! " Nero shouted as loud as he could but no one replied that's when he noticed that he was now in a soul like state and surroundings were all blank suddenly the scenery changed and he found himself watching a young child hiding from demons as the surroundings were in fire and before he could observe the child closely the scenery changed and Nero saw a young man in blue coat holding Yamato that's when he realised that he was seeing the memory of Vergil at least a glimpse of it.
The scenes kept on changing from how Vergil practiced with determination,how he fought with his brother and especially his nightmares. ' Now i can understand why Vergil separated himself because it was so painful to watch him suffer from powerlessness in front of Mundus then i couldn't even fathom how he would have felt ' Nero thought while seeing Vergil's memory. The scenery changed to V the human split of Vergil it showed in depth how he became hopeless, powerless as his body was breaking down then it also showed his bonds with his three familiars and his redemption in the path of becoming one with his other half.
Before Nero could think anymore he found himself awake sweating from head to toe.[ Nero are you ok you weren't responding] Aria asked Nero in concern, ' Looks like i was totally unconscious ' Nero thought. "I am fine it was just weird i was in a dream where i saw the memory of Vergil and how he became the man he was his efforts, powerlessness, redemption and everything which made him The Alpha and The Omega. Do you have any idea what happened " Nero assured and asked Aria for explanation as he was still confused about everything.
After a moment of silence Aria replied [ While you were unconscious Yamato automatically emerged from your hand i think it was most likely due to Yamato you saw Vergil's memory maybe it wanted to show you the difficulties and regrets of Vergil so you would not repeat them]. Nero couldn't come up with an answer as he didn't think he would have done anything different if he would have been in Vergil's place. ' I don't think I would have survived through even a fraction of Vergil's pain ' Nero thought remembering all the pain Vergil went through. " Sigh! Lets think about it later as i don't even know what the future has for me so talking about doing better than Vergil is currently meaningless " Nero sighed and even Aria couldn't come up with an answer. Nero went back to sleep as he was tired after all that.
