Zatiel did not waste ti analyzing the Eternal Darkness' involvent in the Prima-Edrich Multiversal War. As for a reason, it was very simple. That individual was not in either of the two universes.
What truly mattered to the Neo-Demon were the sches of the King in Yellow. The ultimate goal of the Eldritch Universe was straightforward: consu the Prima Universe and grow stronger, but there was no way to say how the Eldritch Champion planned to carry on that mission.
No matter how hard he tried or how much ti he spent, Zatiel knew he would not be able to figure out the King in Yellow's moves with the information he currently had about him.
The King in Yellow sought to subrge everything into chaos, anarchy, and madness. Still, his wisdom and patience were terrific, so thinking he would make a mistake without external interference was foolish.
'If I wait until becoming a Being of Laws, my power and influence will grow to the level I could handle him. Unfortunately, there is no ti.'
The reason why Zatiel chose to enter Gods' Tomb before reaching Rank 6 in his True Soul Path of Power, despite knowing a great fight awaited him, was the feeling that sothing hazardous was gestating in this place.
Sadly, the feeling only grew stronger after erasing the King in Yellow in the End Corridor.
Thanks to his incredible instincts and connection with the universe's laws, Zatiel figured out that whatever made him feel threatened was in the heart of the Divine Faith Army's territories.
The situation was similar to what he felt in the Beta Heavenly World when the King in Yellow infiltrated the world and took control over the Heavenly Race's leaders. Still, there was a significant difference this ti.
Back then, the Neo-Demon was a Rank 3 life form and lacked the power to defend himself, and while in the grand sche of things, he is still extrely weak, Zatiel battle power reached the peak of the Transitional Plane, and there was nothing that could force him to stay if he wanted to escape.
'The danger is growing each day, but I have ti. I should fully heal and make proper preparations before doing anything else.' Zatiel's eyes narrowed as he turned to the lightning humanoid inside the magic tower's energy pool.
"Ezequiel, hand the pearl.'
The Energy Essence Avatar turned toward Zatiel and nodded before waving his hand, making a shining blue pearl co out of his space ring and land in the Neo-Demon Ancestor's hands.
Although the pearl was the size of a marble, its energy reached an extraordinary level, as was the power of the Law of Space in it.
The pearl was an especial artifact they obtained in the Prima-Eldritch Universe Final Battlefield. After being enhanced by Hades, it beca a one-ti use Rank 7 Artifact with the power of Space Origin Essence.
Zatiel knew how dangerous the fight with the King in Yellow would beco, and while he and Ezequiel could escape from the battle, the rest of the Neo-Demons would not.
In a worst-case scenario, Ezequiel would have used the pearl and unleashed a spell that could teleport all Neo-Demons from End Corridor directly into Atlas.
Actually, the Supre Neo-Demon almost used it when the Nine x Nine Supernova Blast went out of control. Of course, the power of the pearl was finite, and other than the Neo-Demons, the Magi and Eye Holders would have had to fend for themselves.
Although his actions almost cost the life of 90% of the Magi Divine Slayer Force, Zatiel would not have hesitated for even a second in sacrificing all those Magi and Eye Holders if it allowed him to harm the King in Yellow.
Zatiel may think twice about sacrificing even a single Neo-Demon to achieve his missions but would not doubt in letting entire worlds perish if that improved his chances of achieving his ultimate goal.
While he sought to beco a paragon of justice and order, the Neo-Demon knew when to compromise. After all, if he failed, every Prima Universe's life form would perish.
The Neo-Demon stared at the blue pearl as hundreds of calculations crossed his mind. His previous life-saving cards, like the Mirage Rune, were not helpful when the enemies could use the power of the Law of Space at the Grand Completion level, so he needed a new exit plan.
'If I modify the pearl and make its full power to work in a single existence, I could use it to escape even if there is a force capable of sealing Rank 7 life forms in that place.'
Confident with his analysis, the Neo-Demon began to prepare the first hidden trick for his next mission.
...
Two years went by after the End Corridor's Supernova Apocalyptic Battle, in which the Divinity Faith Army lost roughly thirty percent of their soldiers.
The loss of their Divine Champion was a massive blow to their morale and overall battle power, and although Zatiel and Ezequiel left the battlefield due to their wounds, the Astral Fiend was a killing machine that no Gods' Hero could equal.
That massacre was just the beginning of their tornt since the situation for the Divinity Faith Army grew direr every day.
With such reduced numbers and without their strongest warrior, the Divinity Faith Army was full of openings that the Magi Divine Slayer FOrce definitely took advantage of.
The Divinity Faith Army lost five of the thirty continents under its control just two months after that battle. Currently, they possessed fourteen, a massive contrast with the ones controlled by the Magi Divine Slayer Force that reached fifty-eight.
Due to the vast control of the Magi Divine Slayer Force, everybody could feel the Magi World's consciousness, laws, and natural forces more and more present. If things carry on this way, it won't be long before they affect the Divinity World, marking the day where Beings of Law enter the stage.
The last major stronghold of the Divinity Faith Army was their headquarters, the city with the imposing castle that could threaten the Astral Fiend and block the Magi Divine Slayer Force from seizing the remaining continents.
There was a gray force field that covered the entire city, obstructing the view of everybody, making it impossible for the Magi Divine Slayer Force to know what happened inside it.
From their headquarters, the Divinity Faith Army kept an eye on the remaining continents under their control and sent reinforcents and resources to those in need.
Of course, the Gods' Slayers would not allow them to act freely, and a form of siege occurred around the headquarters. The city's surroundings were empty at the plain view, but all the Legends knew of the great dangers lurking in the shadows.
Suddenly sothing triggered a fluctuation in space, and a group of fifteen Divine Legends appeared one hundred kiloters away from the city.
The Divine Legends' eyes widened, and panic filled the hearts of many. Their teleportation spell should have brought them into the city and not out of it.
Life forms like them would take less than twenty seconds to reach the city's force field from their current location, but the one responsible for affecting their teleportation spell did not bring them here so that they could watch the scenery.
"Everybody, march forward at full speed. If we stick together, we may have a chance." A Divine Legend at the Early Supernova Domain Stage roared those words to the rest of the team, trying to give them courage.
Unfortunately, just as he finished those words, a dark and cruel aura assaulted them all.
"Hahaha, none of you will leave this place alive."
The Divine Legends turned toward the voice and saw a crystal skeleton appear in the sky. His eye sockets glowed with an azure fire that carried the might of the Law of Destruction, more specifically, the one found in Baator.
"A... Gods' Slayer..." A Divine Legend spoke those words with a voice full of despair.
Gods' Slayers were all life forms with Peak Rank 6 battle power, while other than their leader, none of them reached the Supernova Domain Stage. Most of them were at the Hollow Sun Domain Stage, making them practically useless in a fight of this level.
The crystal skeleton did not waste ti gloating. He clasped his hands as his energy exploded, firing a giant azure fireball that clashed with the Divine Legends, generating a massive explosion.
That exact instant, as the azure flas were about to consu the bodies and souls of the Divine Legends, a flash so fast that not even the Gods' Slayer perceived it entered the explosion.
The crystal skeleton turned around and was about to leave, sure the Divine Legends could not survive his spell when the azure fla in his eyes shivered.
"ROAR!" A demonic roar echoed through the sky, and the azure explosion was split apart by a black fla.
The Gods Slayer was not the only one surprised, as the Divine Legends were also shocked by the black fire that saved them from being consud.
He turned toward the black fla's origin and saw a young man in its core. He was not very handso, but Abyss' Law of Destruction's power made his aura display a demonic might.
Strange expressions appeared in the Divine Legends as they focused on the man's power.
His na was Orin, and he was part of their group, but his cultivation should reach the Late Primary Sun Domain Stage, which was nowhere near the current battle power he displayed.
What truly disturbed the Divine Legends was that his aura differed from the Legend Path of Power.
Due to the battles with the Magi Divine Slayer Force, the Legends learned new paths that did not end at Rank 6, but the Gods prohibited those and marked anyone who trained them as a heretic.
Orin looked at the people he had just saved and saw how so of them displayed disgust in their faces. The man's eyes only showed courage as he focused on the Gods Slayer.
"Run," Orin said nothing more before making his energy explode and flashing toward the crystal skeleton.
