Chapter 440 - Will Be Enough
Zatiel stood in the void for eight months, devouring oceans of Elemental Chaos as he inscribed All-Devouring Seals and formed the first layer of channels that connected his body to the domain.
As he enhanced his understanding of the All-Devouring Domain, the Elemental Chaos inside the Spiritual Endless Ocean improved. The Neo-Demon's energy pool was not bound to the True Soul's power anymore, and it could grow much larger than the Soul Origin.
The All-Devouring Domain also helped the Neo-Demon's body to adapt faster to the fourth Apocalyptic Star's pressure.
All of a sudden, Zatiel opened his eyes and looked toward the White Sun. A message from the NRAI showed Heinz, Zitra, Sophia, Totto, Tyrus, Juntu, Dante, Kylo, and Rax appearing in the Beta Heavenly World.
They had all become Law Engraving existences and sealed their fourth Apocalyptic Star. Although none of them managed to jump a Tier, their four stars were all very powerful, showing a great foundation born out of hard work.
The Neo-Demon was confused since he had not called them, and there was no reason for all to appear together. He withdrew the All-Devouring Domain and used the NRAI to teleport in front of them.
Zatiel had just arrived when someone jumped to his chest and hugged him tightly.
"I missed you."
A tender smile appeared on Zatiel's face when he heard that and caressed Sophia's hair. They have not seen each other in several years, and their hearts longed for the other.
Heinz and the others did not bother with this scene, but someone showed a complicated expression.
Zitra did not know what to do when he saw Zatiel and Sophia behaving like that. She did not feel jealousy but was unsure of how to act around the two of them together.
Their status, power, and beauty were similar, but Sophia was the first woman to gain a place in Zatiel's heart, making things awkward for her as the latecomer.
The woman saw them exchange a kiss and was surprised by Zatiel appearing the next second in front of her. The Neo-Demon's Ancestor only smiled at Zitra before also kissing her.
Happies could be seen in Zitra's face as she felt her lover's touch.
Sophia did not care about their exchange. As long as there was a place for her in Zatiel's heart, that was good enough for her.
After attending both of his women, Zatiel looked at the rest.
"Why did you all come?"
Dante was about to respond to Zatiel's question when they heard a thunderclap. The next second, they saw a five-meter tall man that exerted a monstrous physical pressure appear in front of them.
"I summoned them." Ezequiel nodded to Zatiel before focusing on the Neo-Demon, and a severe expression appeared on his face as he analyzed them.
On the Supreme Neo-Demon's shoulder, there was a beautiful little girl with black hair. Yami focused on the group before shaking her head and continuing to eat the Sacred Sun Tree's branches in her hand.
Heinz and the others felt an invisible pressure assault them, and their instincts shouting them to be alert.
Zatiel's eyes narrowed as he stared at Ezequiel. His Rebirth Eye showed him that he already built his Inner Law Dimension, which did not come as a surprise, but he detected something else that amazed him.
"You already reached the Embryonic level?"
Ezequiel turned back to Zatiel and nodded. "Three days for the Ephemeral level, five months for the Embryonic level."
The Neo-Demon was truly impressed when he heard that. Even though it could not compare with his speed, it was still beyond amazing.
However, as he analyzed the situation, the secret behind Ezequiel's monstrous cultivation speed became clearer for Zatiel.
'His perception and comprehension abilities are already exceptional. The Astral Body Avatar provided him with a unique understanding of the physical aspect of existence. By deciphering the elemental laws, he gained a superficial knowledge of the ancient force that gave birth to them. And if that was not enough, Astral Origin shares some characteristics with it, making it even easier for his body to attune to the Omega Law.'
Zatiel also detected something else inside the Supreme Neo-Demon's Inner Law Dimension, but he could not see it due to this one's spirit defense.
He did not waste too much time on that and analyzed the way Ezequiel stared at the other. His understanding of his Will's personality was very high.
An idea of why he summoned the Neo-Demons here formed in his mind after a moment. Zatiel sighed and nodded to Ezequiel before speaking to the group.
"Be careful, and good luck. You will need it." The Neo-Demon's Ancestor said nothing else before teleporting to the Underworld Forge.
Zatiel's words left the group confused, but before they could understand what he meant by that, Ezequiel's voice drew their attention.
"Let's go to the void. This place is not suitable."
A second after he said that, the NRAI teleported the Supreme Neo-Demon and the others to the Neo-Demon Realm's void.
Heinz, Sophia, Dante, and all the other Neo-Demons that formed part of Zatiel's inner circle were full of questions, but as they felt the Supreme Neo-Demon's gaze on them, none dared to speak first.
Ezequiel's aura was tempered by Abyss. He was a true killing machine that already ended billions of lives. His spirit carried the evil plane's cruelty and brutality, making those who saw him feel apprehensive, especially if he was angry.
The one who adapted better to the Supreme Neo-Demon's monstrous aura was the little girl on his shoulder. She did not stop smiling the entire time.
Yami may be a Rank 0 life form. Still, her body could easily withstand the corroding power of Elemental Chaos, and the unique force in her soul protected her from any spiritual damage.
The Supreme Neo-Demon took his eyes away from the group and stared at the realm around him. An immense sense of respect and awe overflowed his heart.
"How strong do you think Master was before his fall?"
Ezequiel's question took the Neo-Demons by surprise. Zatiel's past life was a form of taboo for them. Even thinking about it was something they prevented themself from doing.
"I made a question." Ezequiel turned back to the Neo-Demons with coldness on his face. His eyes resembled those of an ancient beast ready to strike at the most minimal provocation.
"Rank 9."
The one who spoke was Sophia, and the others nodded, showing their support, but Ezequiel shook his head.
"Ivar the Flawless is a monstrous genius not only in cultivation but also as a Magic Creator. His power and capacities are beyond my current understanding, but I know his most incredible creation is the Transitional Plane. That artifact can compare with a weak Principal World in terms of might and drew wonder in the Magi World's leader, a Rank 9 life form. However, Gods' Tomb is nothing compared with our race's realm." Ezequiel stopped for a moment and let his words sink into the Neo-Demons minds.
The Supreme Neo-Demon reasoning had some flaws, but they still carried enough truth to make Heinz and the others think.
"How much power and control over the universe's forces must someone have to build the Neo-Demon Realm and create a race where each member has access to something so unique as the True Doomsday Body and True Will?"
He did not wait for them to answer before speaking again.
"Now tell me, how strong was the person who defeated this realm's creator and forced him to reincarnate."
The Neo-Demons' eyes widened when they heard that. If Zatiel's previous might was high enough to create a realm that could compare with Abyss and Baator, who could have defeated him?
They had a hard time even imagining an entity with that kind of power.
"I can see that you all pushed yourself to the limit, some a little more than others. Your Soul Origins are extremely pure, and your Apocalyptic Stars are also of a high level. Your laws are strong, and most have already formed a Law Essence, but..."
Although those sounded like compliments, the Neo-Demons' felt the coldness and wrath in Ezequiel's aura growing as he paused his speech and looked at them.
"DO YOU REALLY THINK THAT WILL BE ENOUGH!" The Supreme Neo-Demon's power blasted out, pushing away the giant waves of Elemental Chaos around him.
