Chapter 630 - Fearless (IV)
Issac and Salomon adopted solemn expressions when they heard those words. They have known for a long time about the connection between the Eldritch Universe and the two great evil planes, but their knowledge barely scratched the surface despite all their effort.
As for the one Zatiel referred to as the Prima Universe\'s Ultimate Enemy, what they knew about that entity was even less. Every piece of information about that individual could improve their chances of survival.
The other Primarchs\' reactions were not any less meaningful, with the evil Primarchs adopting an even uglier expression.
"Information of that level should be accessible to all of us. It is only by working together and combining our efforts that we can have a chance of winning against such a formidable enemy." Eligos word sounded rightful, and although it did not suit his monstrous face, the rest of the Primarchs had to admit there was some truth behind them.
Issac and Salomon were among the three strongest Primarchs. If they combined their power, they could kill or at least seal the evil Primarchs.
The reason the Magus Primarch and Immortal Primarch did not work together against the trio were not their personal feelings toward each other, but because despite how much they loathe the evil Primarchs, they still needed them.
Without the trio and their races, the Prima Universe would lose around a third of its forces. That was something they could not allow during a war that could determine the entire universe\'s fate.
Zatiel did not bother with Eligos\' words. He understood, just like Issac and Salomon, the price of oppressing the evil Primarchs, but unlike the duo, he was willing to pay it.
Salomon saw that Zatiel did not intend to answer the evil Primarchs. Instead of giving the trio the chance to meddle, he stepped forward.
That step carried on a momentum that made the white net tremble. The Immortal Primarch was not attacking, but the pressure he generated could cause havoc in space-time. He usually would seal it, but it was not the time to hide his might.
Zatiel\'s eyes narrowed as he focused on the Immortal Primarch. The man was truly imposing, and the might of his momentum and energy revealed something significant to the Neo-Demon.
\'I can not be one hundred percent sure due to the current difference in our cultivation, but it seems that his energy already surpassed the realm of the laws.\'
"What rules should we follow?" Salomon\'s words made it clear he was willing to consider Zatiel\'s rules.
"If you enter the realm, you must seal your consciousness and energies. And if I detect the most minimal sign of animosity toward my people, I will use all of the power of my realm to destroy your bodies and souls." Zatiel\'s voice was not cold, nor did it carry killing intent, but all those who heard it were certain of his conviction.
"We, the Dark Tower Alliance, are willing to follow your rules," Issac spoke less than a second after the Neo-Demon finished speaking.
Although the Dragon Primarch and Titan Primarch were not so fond of the Magus\'s deference toward Zatiel, they also agree. The duo still had some doubts about the Neo-Demon, but they chose to trust their leader.
Salomon\'s eyes narrowed as he saw the attitude of Issac. He glanced at the Sacred Beast Primarch and Spirit Primarch before speaking.
"We, the Immortal Alliance, are willing to follow the rules."
Although the meaning behind their statement was the same, there was a distinctive feature between Issac\'s and Salomon\'s words.
The Magus Primarch spoke "your rules," making it clear he considered Zatiel as the master of the realm. On the other hand, the Immortal Primarch used "the rules," hinting that he believed someone else was the true ruler of the realm.
Zatiel noticed all of that, but he did not care. First, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers, making a wave of space-time force cover the Neo-Demon Realm.
He commanded Hades and the NRAI to teleport all the Neo-Demons, except for Ezequiel, into one of the High World. Next, each of those worlds had their Crystal Walls reinforced to the point that they could compare with a Principal World in defense.
Once the Neo-Demons were safe, and out of harm\'s way, Zatiel sent another command, making a milky white force cover him and Ezequiel. Those shields would not allow them to face a Primarch but would protect them long enough to be teleported into one of the High World if something went wrong.
Now that Zatiel ensured that he could take control of the situation regardless of the Primarchs\' intentions, he made it so that a three-meter hole appeared in the Absolute Shattering Shield.
The instant that hole arose, Eligos\' aura exploded, and he fired a full-power soul invasion\'s spell!
Issac and Salomon were surprised by the Mind Ruler\'s speed and brutality. None of them could do anything about it, as soul invasion spells were practically instantaneous.
However, their concerns were unfounded. Zatiel would not make such a mistake as to allow the Mind Ruler Primarch a chance to test the protection of his milky white shield.
"Argh!" Eligos released a small cry of pain as blood leaked through every orifice on their face.
That three-meter hole in the Absolute Shattering Shield would allow the Primarchs to cross, but it was still able to block every form of attack, even soul invasion spells.
Jormundgander and Lilet frowned when they saw the state of Eligos. They were also ready to make their move just a second ago, but it seemed that things would not be so simple.
Right now, even if Zatiel invited them, the evil Primarchs would not enter the realm before knowing more about its offensive properties.
Issac and Salomon did not hesitate before entering the realm. The first was confident that he understood Zatiel\'s nature, while the second believed his power was high enough to ensure his life.
After the other four Primarchs saw that their leaders were fine inside the realm, they crossed the three-meter hole in the white net. The Titan, Dragon and Sacred Beast Primarchs had to shrink their bodies to enter the realm.
Zatiel closed the hole once the six entered the realm, and then he turned toward the evil Primarchs.
It was clear they were not welcome, and they could not cross the Absolute Shattering Shield on their own, so there was not really a point for them to remain here.
Eligos stared back at the Neo-Demon, and a bloody smile appeared on his face as he turned toward a High World.
"A vibrant realm, filled with such tender life."
Zatiel\'s eyes once again lost their light when he heard those words. Even the Primarchs felt pressure from the Neo-Demon\'s aura when he adopted such a ruthless nature.
"If you want to watch, then do it in pieces!" Zatiel roared as the rune formation connecting the worlds with the White Sun entered an overdrive state, fueling a crazy amount of energy into the Absolute Shattering Shield.
