Chapter 827 Battle roles
Zatiel nodded, and there was no doubt in his mind that he had made the right choice.
Lucifer\'s conviction was something almost none could equal, and incredible pain and hardship tested that across the eons. When the Champion of Justice and Order devoured the curse that would have corrupted the entire Heavenly Race beyond redemption, he still had the power to end his life but chose to keep fighting.
Lucifer traveled to Nexus, where he took the mantle of the Champion of Order. Becoming the vessel of the Soul Core of Existence increased the might of the corruption but also sealed his existence in the Ninth Circle of Hell.
Thanks to his domain over the Force of Order, he was able to protect his ego. He hoped that one day someone with enough power could break the curse and allow him to fight for the Prima Universe one more time.
Of course, he knew that those with too little power might risk their lives for him due to his fame, and that was not something he could accept. That is why he changed his name to Asmodeus and even generated the tale of the white snake Archdevil.
Lucifer endured billions of years of torture until Zatiel finally appeared. The Incarnation of Death and Destruction rescued his soul, and now that the curse was finally under control, he had the chance to fulfill life\'s goal.
"Once I advance to Rank 9, my soul and body will be strong enough to endure the burden of using the Incarnation of Death and Destruction\'s avatar. With two De-Facto Rank 10 life forms, we will be able to put up a good fight against the Flame Imperator."
Zatiel\'s words filled the hearts of those present with hope. The Flame Imperator was a True Rank 10 life form but was not undefeatable.
"And if we have a good enough chance, I am confident Venganza will join us. He will not die for the Prima Universe but will fight alongside us if we prove to have enough power."
If before Zatiel gave them hope, now he made their fighting spirit burn like supernovas!
Everybody already saw the might of Sundered Night. If Vengaza, Lucifer, and the Incarnation of Death and Destruction team up, their battle power is something that could threaten even a True Rank 10 life form!
"Since the topic regarding the Flame Imperator is handled. We must proceed to how we will face the Primordial army behind him."
Zatiel spoke of the Flame Imperator before anything since if they could not face him, then there was no point in planning anything else. However, that did not mean they could just ignore the ten thousand Primordials following the Alpha Universe\'s Leader.
Lucifer, En, Ezequiel, Ragnar, and the Justice Primarchs frowned when they heard that. The Prima Universe had suffered significant losses after the upheaval of the Heavenly, Leviathan, and Mind Ruler Races.
Of course, they all understood that the Prima Universe had to face those wars as there could not be division in a moment like this. The entire universe needed to act as one, something Lilet and Eligos could never achieve. As for Jormundgander, he was a special case.
In total, the Prima Universe lost three Primarchs if they included Bael in the calculations and four Rank 9 life forms, two from the Heavenly Race and two from the Mind Ruler Race.
Luckily, new geniuses had risen, mainly thanks to the Realm of Madness.
"Although they were extremely far away, I perceived the auras of the Alpha Universe\'s Primordials. Among their ranks, Chrollo is the strongest, having reached Peak Fourth Evolution Extreme Rank 9. The one with the harlequin costume is at the Third Evolution, and there are two others at the Second Evolution."
En adopted a solemn expression as he heard that. Lucifer\'s full attention will be on the Flame Imperator, which would leave him in charge of the Empyrean Primordials\' Leader.
The World Tree saw the sights of everybody on him and nodded. He was ready to do whatever it took, just like everybody else.
"I will handle the harlequin Primordial." Salomon drew everybody\'s attention as he spoke those words. He was the strongest of the Justice Primarchs but was still far from being able to defeat a Third Evolution Extreme Rank 9 Primordial.
Zatiel\'s eyes narrowed, and a flash of enlightenment appeared as he focused on the Immortal Primarch\'s soul.
"You are ready to increase the might of your soul forcefully? That will ultimately harm your future cultivation and will begin to drop after a few thousand years. You might remain immortal but lose all your power eventually."
Everybody stared at Salomon with shock. Each of them stood at the universe\'s peak, and the idea of losing all their power was worse than dying on the battlefield.
The Immortal Primarch did not say a word, but the look on his face told them everything they needed to know.
Issac stared at Salomon for a moment before the same determination appeared on his face.
"I am not close enough to the Third Evolution to force my way into it, but no matter what, I will make sure to suppress one Second Evolution Primordial."
"Bahamut and I are close to generating a qualitative evolution in our energy. I am sure we will be able to become Extreme Rank 9 life forms in a matter of months. Together, we will face the other Second Evolution Primordial."
Hyperion showed solemn expression, and the Dragon Primarch acted the same. Both benefited greatly from the energy Zatiel took from Baator and were ready to prove their worth.
Zatiel nodded to the En, Salomon, Hyperion, and Bahamut and then focused on Ezequiel, Ragnar, Nut, and Noir.
"There are another seven Primordials at the Primarch level. Five of them are close to Extreme Rank 9, while the other two had just recently achieved Late Rank 9. I am counting on each of you to at least take on one Empyrean Primordial."
Ezequiel, Ragnar, Nut, and Noir nodded. Their expressions made it clear they understood the weight put on their shoulders.
