Neo had huge amount of memories.
The hundreds of years of his own lives.
The thousands of people whom he purified with his blessing and gained their memories.
And lastly, the fourth vision of Sphinx where he spent eternity.
The memories of Eternity were sealed by his mother, but the emotions he felt during those countless years were not sealed.
Despair, hollowness, fear, grudges, insanity, love, ambition.
Everything Neo gained during the eternity was still with him.
The Shadow saw everything at once when it looked into Neo's memories.
Its foolish actions tore apart its sanity.
idon'tWANTtoliveihatelivingsomeonekillMEpleasepleasepleasePLEASEpleasekillME, the Shadow screamed.
Before Neo could do anything, the Shadow exploded, having killed itself.
Neo stared at the remains of the Shadow.
Shaking his head, he devoured it.
The memories of Neo Hargraves poured into Neo.
He was born to two humans who didn't awaken their demigod lineage and he had an older brother.
