BXBX NOVEL Chapter 322 - Ancient Being Of Laws
Silence reigned in the Beta Heavenly World after Zatiel left, but today it was broken as a portal opened in the sky, and a group of people came out of it.
They were Zatiel, Ezequiel, Sophia, Dante, Kilo, Rax, and seventeen other Neo-Demons, who had already reached Peak Rank 3 and have developed comprehension over the laws. The weakest bloodline among them was at the King level, and they all had the power to defeat Angelic Paragon without a problem, despite the latter having Peak Emperor Bloodlines.
Following the group was Heinz, Totto, Zitra, Tyrus, Juntu, and three more people.
Two of the new additions were a man and a woman, and their names were Ginic and Kirin. The duo had ruby-like skin and small bodies. They were the two Rank 4 Blood Ruby Centipede that had come to the Daybreak Clan after Heinz and Juntu\'s trip to the Endless Forest.
The last addition was a man with a muscular body and a brutish face. He was an Abomination Gorilla, and his name was Keizer. He advanced to Rank 4 a little after Zatiel finished the war in the Beta Heavenly World.
The magic creatures have proven their nature and worth to the clan by protecting all the people who entered the Endless Forest. They were a shield during the time the Daybreak Clan was in its most dangerous period. That earned them Zatiel\'s recognition along with the chance of becoming Neo-Demons.
A pleasant expression appeared in the face of Ezequiel and every single Neo-Demon after they passed through the portal. Their instincts were telling them this was a place they could relax and that they were completely safe. If they would have to put it in simple words, it was like they were home.
But things did not end there since a stream of information appeared in their minds the moment the NRAI detected their Chaotic-Cores.
All the knowledge about the Three Severings and Nine Apocalypse Star Heavens was in that information, along with the types of True Doomsday Body a Neo-Demon could choose. There was a clear warning about the dangers of Doomsday Incarnation and the importance of their True Will.
Unlike the sense of peace that invaded the Neo-Demons, Heinz and the others felt imminent doom when they appeared in the Beta Heavenly World.
They felt a power higher than the universe itself was targeting them, and there was nothing they could do to stop it. Luckily, it vanished less than a second after it appeared.
The face of the group was pale and full of confusion as they stared at Zatiel. The power targeting them was something they could not even begin to comprehend.
"Although this is the Beta Heavenly World, we are currently in the Neo-Demon Realm. Any life form that is not a Neo-Demon will be exterminated once they put a foot in my realm, but I used my authority to allow you to be here."
Zatiel was looking to the distance when he spoke those words, and his eyes narrowed. The Neo-Demon was making sure of something. After a moment, he turned around and focused on the group that had already awoken their True Souls.
"You will be transported to a special dimension. There you will undergo a form of reincarnation in body and soul. That is the only way to revert the changes the Universe Will made in your souls. The process is a little painful, but your lives will not be in danger. Once it is over, I will come to create your Chaotic-Cores and guide you in the Path of Neo-Demons. Any question?"
"How long will the process take?" Heinz was the one who made that question. He, and everyone else, had made arrangements to maintain their land and people\'s safety. However, the Cultivator did not like the idea of being incapacitated while their enemies were still out there, preparing their next move.
"A little more than three months." Zatiel\'s response relaxed everyone. To Rank 4 life forms who enjoyed a life span of thousands of years, three months was nothing.
Seeing that there were no more questions, Zatiel gave the signal to the NRAI, and the group was teleported away.
With that out of the way, it was now the time to handle the Neo-Demons.
"You all already know what you have to do. Although the Three Severings are dangerous, you have followed me from the beginning of my journey and have tempered your will through famine and war. I am confident that every single one of you will become a Doom Bringer."
Ezequiel, Sophia, Dante, Rax, Kilo, and every single Neo-Demon had their eyes burning with determination as they bowed to Zatiel, and the next moment, they disappeared.
Once he was all alone, Zatiel\'s face filled with coldness, and the Black Hole Runic Set was activated, granting him the strength of a Being of Laws.
Zatiel took a step forward and appeared in the sky above the Fornes continent. The Neo-Demon opened his palm, and gravitational force was released from it.
The next second, a group of Magi appeared in front of Zatiel. They were Uluizer and all the Rank 4 members of the Magi Invader Force that had angered the Neo-Demon. All of them were in a dream from which they could not wake up.
In his current state, Zatiel could erase them with a movement of his hand, but that is not why he brought them to him. The Black Hole Runic Set granted the Neo-Demon incredible offensive and defensive power, but it did not allow subtle control over his force, so Zatiel would need to use his own power if he wanted to search their minds.
Luckily, Zatiel had the Rebirth Eye, and Uluizer and the others could not put up any form of resistance right now.
It took a moment for Zatiel to go through their memories and learn everything about them. He learned the identity of the person that incited them to go against Totto.
\'Interesting, it seems I have more than one enemy in the Aeternum Empire.\' Zatiel was able to figure out the identity of the people that ambushed Heinz and had a pretty good idea who their leader was. However, the one behind Uluizer and the other Bloodline Magi was a different person.
\'There is no much difference between killing one rat and two.\' There was not even the slightest level of worry in Zatiel\'s eyes as he thought about the opponent he had in the Magi World.
How can you be afraid of a little ant, when you were preparing to face a tyrannosaurus rex in the future?.
Zatiel let the Rank 4 Magi fall to the ground after he finished with them. A solemn expression appeared on the Neo-Demon\'s face as he prepared for the next task.
By taking another step, Zaitel found himself right in front of a cocoon made of shadows. A white membrane covered the Neo-Demon as he made the shadow threads return to his robe, showing a black box.
The Neo-Demon clenched his fist, and the box broke apart, releasing the object inside it. It was the item Zatiel was willing to oppose a Soul Law Domain existence to obtain.
The black box contained the one and only Underworld Forge.
Zatiel sent a command to the NRAI, making a stream of white energy entered the Underworld Forge. That stream may have appeared simple, but the energy in it was so much that if a Rank 4 absorbed it, they would explode.
"I have given you more than enough energy to materialize your spirit. I believe you have been paying attention to your surroundings, especially after the display of power I made in this world."
Nothing responded to Zatiel\'s words, and the Neo-Demon\'s eyes narrowed before shaking his head.
"If you want to play, then I will entertain you." Zatiel rose his hand and snapped his finger.
Immediately the Underworld Forge was thrust into the sky until it was right next to the Crystal Wall. Dozens of swords made of white light manifested themselves and were fired to the forge.
Each of the swords had the power to annihilate a Rank 6 life form, and just as they were about to clash with the Underworld Forge, a sigh was heard from inside this one.
A shadow surged from the forge and formed a three meters tall bipedal humanoid. The creature had the skull of a wolf and the horn of a goat. Its body was covered with black metallic hair, and an aura full of death and ancientness could be felt from it.
The creature used his palms to shatter the swords made of white light in an instant before they could get near the Underworld Forge.
All of the sudden, the body of this mighty creature froze, and the red light that filled its eyes shrank. It was a being that could destroy Soul Law Domain existences with a single strike of its fist, but the palm that was grabbing the back of its head overpowered it completely.
"So you are not just a Law Artifact Spirit. Everyone thought you were dead, even your brothers. Who could have imagined that I would have met the ancient Hades in a place like this?."
