Chapter 376 - War (III)
The moment he appeared, the first thing everybody felt was an incredibly dense and powerful aura. It manifested itself like a red force field that extended all over the void, but it was not bound there because it infiltrated the Magi World.
All the Magi, Eye Holders, and the Neo-Demon were able to experience the might of this aura that was born not from energy but the man's soul.
It was a manifestation of his slaughter path, one born of struggles, fights, conviction, and an utterly unfettered will.
His aura made it seem as if time had stopped. Everybody in it could see his appearance as if they were right in front of him regardless of the distance.
He had a youthful aspect, with short black hair and red runic lines all over his handsome face. The most impressive thing about this man was his eyes.
They were full of darkness, with the only exception being the bright blue iris in them. Anyone who focused on them would feel like they were in the presence of a tsunami of killing intent that would make their spirits shiver.
Despite the fear he could incite and that his existence appeared to be the definition of slaughter, he emitted a spirit full of heroism and justice.
While the Elemental Chaos Eye and the Nightmare Devourer Snake-Whale were colossal monsters that could cover the sky, their presence in front of this man was like a firefly in front of the sun.
Under everyone's watch, the world-destroying spells finally reached the man. They attacked from the left and the right, but he did not abandon his position between them.
The man stopped each spell with his bare palms!. His arms were steady as a rock despite detaining attacks carrying enough energy to drown a world.
The next second, an energy pulse was fired from his hands, and the spells shattered.
Silence reigned after the man destroyed the attacks, but it lasted little. He turned to his right and focused on the Eye of Elemental Chaos.
The humanoid Being of Laws had no face, but everybody could perceive the terror that invaded his soul. Before the Rank 7 life form from the Eye Dynasty could say anything, the man appeared in front of him.
The difference between the size of the man and the Eye Holder was tremendous, but there was no doubt in anyone's mind regarding who was stronger.
The man fired a punch, and the Eye Holders in the Magi World saw how a Being of Laws of their race exploded like a balloon full of blood.
Despite the immense force that fist should have carried, there were no shock waves or explosions of energy. That proved the man's granular control over his strength.
His hand released a gravitational force, and the immense body of the Eye of Elemental Chaos was reduced to a small ball of blood.
Before people could even have a moment to process what just happened, the man vanished again. This time, he appeared in front of the Nightmare Devourer Snake-Whale.
"LORD IV..." Before the Rank 7 life form from the Aeternum Empire could finish his sentence, the man destroyed his monstrous body with a kick.
Other than oceans of blood and mountains of flesh, the Nightmare Devourer Snake Whale left a golden orb after being destroyed.
The two mighty Beings of Laws were immortal entities that evoked terror in the heart of anyone who saw them. However, they were nothing but insects beneath the man's might. The difference in power was just too immense.
The people of the Aeternum Empire and the Eye Dynasty could not help but feel immense respect and admiration for such a person. The power to act according to their wishes and ignore the consequences was something they could only dream of.
The man reduced the Being of Laws' remains to a drop of blood, but his focus was on the golden orb. He analyzed it for a long time before turning his gaze to the individuals watching him from inside the Magi World.
What happened next shocked all those millenary existences and made them question all their knowledge of the world they live in.
The man vanished from the void, only to reaper immediately in front of them.
A monstrously powerful Being of Laws was inside the Magi World!
The Magi World was a Principal World of the universe, and technically, Rank 7 life forms and above could exist inside it. However, for hundreds of thousands of years, no Being of Laws had ever been present in it, and the World Consciousness expelled those who ascended.
Everybody had accepted the Magi World's uniqueness as a rule, but this man just broke it.
The first to react to the man was the Aeternum Empire force's leader, the individual with the crown and royal robe. He kneeled with tears in his eyes, but while his actions may suggest otherwise, his heart was full of excitement.
"Ancestor, I am Roku. It is the highest honor of my life to be in your presence!"
After hearing Roku's words, even the most stupid person in here could figure out the man's identity.
He was the Aeternum Empire's creator, one of the Magi World's strongest entities, a man whose legend was as ancient as impressive, Ivar the Flawless!
Ivar focused on his descendant, and his eyes released a power that appeared capable of piercing into the flow of time. The feeling was short, and the next moment, a smile appeared on the Being of Laws' face.
"A will that does not give up regardless of the humiliation and pain he endures, and that defies fate. I like your spirit, boy, and since our destinies have connected before, let this count as your new lucky chance." Ivar infused countless law runes and an almost infinite amount of energy into the drop of blood made from the Nightmare Devourer Snake-Whale, before inserting it into Roku's head.
The next second, Roku's aura burst with power, and everybody felt how his strength was rising.
Zatiel's complete focus was on the powerful Being of Laws. He was surprised when the Aeternum Empire's creator arrived inside the Magi World, but his heart remained strong despite the immense danger in which he was. After all, if Ivar wanted to kill him, there was nothing he could do to stop him.
Of course, the Neo-Demon would not let the whims of a Being of Law dictate his future. He was ready to explode his soul and fight for a chance of survival.
The Rebirth Eye perceived the changes happening in Roku. The Neo-Demon could not help but admire Ivar's methods.
'He is not increasing Roku's cultivation but tempering his centers of power. That way, he improves the Royal's battle power, body talent, and law perception.'
It took a moment for everybody to calm down and accept the mind-blowing events that just happened. They were about to kneel when a force stopped them.
"I don't care about meaningless gestures." Ivar's voice was cold. The only reason he had let Roku's kneel was that he felt the sincerity in the man's heart.
After speaking those words, Ivar snapped his finger, and nine people appeared in front of him.
Their soul forces put them at the absolute peak of Rank 6. Each one of these individuals had a unique identity, and their words could decide the life of countless life forms.
Despite all that, Ivar teleported them here with a movement of his fingers.
Zatiel recognized one of the nine. It was the King of the Scientia Kingdom, John Erick Rebellion.
Although they were disorientated, once they saw Ivar and recognized who he was, they immediately adopted a solemn attitude.
"Two insignificant Rank 7 life forms attempted to use the Magi World as the battlefield to solve their petty dispute. I already punished them, and I will do the same to anyone who dares to harm the world due to their selfish desires or cowardness." Ivar's words carried an unquestionable might that fused into the laws of the Magi World.
The rulers nodded when they heard Ivar's command, and they made sure to remember to tell it to the ones beneath them. None of them moved since they knew the Being of Laws would not bring them here only to say that.
"All of your organizations must be ready to deploy one billion warriors between Rank 1 and Rank 3. The Magi World will go to war, and the first phase will be fought by those who had yet to awaken their True Souls."
The leaders were shocked, but they knew that Ivar's words were like a heavenly decree that no one could challenge. If he said the entire Magi World would go to battle, then they would.
There was a question in everybody's mind, and luckily the King of the Scientia Kingdom made it.
"Who will we fight."
The moment he heard that question, monstrous hate and killing intent appeared in Ivar's eyes.
"We will attack the Divinity World and erase the Path of Gods from the universe!"
End of Book 5. The new lord of Baator and Abyss.
