Abyssal Lord of the Magi World

Ezequiel also entered Icarus through a secret passage, but unlike the hundreds that received Zatiel, the ones waiting for him were only three individuals. 

The trio also hid in a secret dimension in the periphery of the city. While their structure was similar, this one was much more powerful than the one controlled by Tritus.

If it weren't for Ezequiel already knowing the dimension's location, he would have been unable to perceive it, despite his ability to communicate with the elements.

Kriz, Jury, and Sebastian performed a deep bow the moment Ezequiel entered the dimension. 

A solemn expression appeared on Ezequiel's face when he saw the trio. None of them advanced in their cultivation from the last time he saw them, but what really called his attention were the hidden wounds that permeated their bodies and soul dimensions.

When they felt Ezequiel's eyes on them, the trio could not help but tremble. They knew Invictus was a monstrous genius, but the fact his power advanced so fast in such a little time shocked them.

The last time Kriz and the other two saw Ezequiel, although they were weaker, the gap was not that immense, but now they were confident that there was no way any of them could survive if they fought.

Ezequiel did not understand why but he felt a powerful sense of hope appear in the trio's souls when they felt his power. 

"Speak, what is the problem?" The Supreme Neo-Demon was brilliant and understood that Kriz, Jury, and Sebastian's reactions were too intense, even if they needed him to be strong due to his status as King Roku's Champion.

That meant there must be a significant problem with the Gods' Tomb Champion Contest.

Kriz, Jury, and Sebastian were surprised when they heard that. They did their best to hide it, but Ezequiel saw right through them in a second.

'Incredible, he must have perceived our soul force's fluctuations. There is no other way to explain it. How someone whose primary focus is the body can have such immense talent in the soul.' 

The bald eunuch took a deep breath and released a weak sigh before performing a deep bow. Unlike the previous one, this depicted regret and sadness. 

Jury and Sebastian followed their comrade's behavior and also performed an apologetic bow. 

"Lord Invictus, I am sorry to say that due to our weakness and negligence, your mission in the Gods' Tomb Champion Contest became much more complicated and dangerous. I am afraid that I can not give more details. That task falls into King Roku's hands."

After speaking those words, Kriz waved his hands, showing a teleportation formation inside the secret dimension, and politely signaled for Ezequiel to get in.

The Supreme Neo-Demon's eyes narrowed. It was evident by the words of the trio that the Gods' Tomb Champion Contest would not be as easy as he initially thought. 

To know more, the Supreme Neo-Demon needed to enter the teleportation formation and talk directly with King Roku.

Although he could easily leave Icarus since no one could stop him, the Astral Chaos Pagoda was too important for his True Doomsday Body Path of Power. 

In the end, Ezequiel walked forward and stood above the teleportation formation with the three Magi before vanishing from the secret dimension.

It only took a moment for the four of them to appear in a hallway in the lower levels of a giant castle that stood in Icarus' center.

Ezequiel analyzed the surroundings and saw that while the walls lacked any decoration, they could easily withstand attacks from Supernova Domain life forms.

Kriz signaled Ezequiel to follow them, and they soon reached a giant gate. 

The Supreme Neo-Demon could not feel anything on the other side, but when the bald eunuch opened it, a raging aura immediately assaulted them.

Two extremely opposite energies formed the raging aura. One was calm and of spiritual nature, while the other was wild and strived toward the body. 

None of the energies wanted to subdue toward the other. Their fight provoked the raging aura that assaulted the trio and formed a blue and red tornado in the center of the room.

The raging aura almost sent Kriz, Jury, and Sebastian flying away. They activated their magic defenses to protect themselves as deep cuts started to appear in their skin. 

On the other hand, Ezequiel allowed the raging aura to impact him without any defenses, but there was nothing it could do against his body that was as hard as a Rank 6 Artifact.

Of course, the condition of the Supreme Neo-Demon would have been much different if he were in the center of the raging aura and not just facing some gales of it. 

The Supreme Neo-Demon focused on the tornado as he felt two eyes staring in his direction. 

Suddenly, the two opposite energies vanished, along with the raging aura, and the four individuals in the entrance saw a man that stood just a second ago in the tornado's core.

He had black hair, a handsome and youthful face, and his eyes glowed with the light of a sovereign.

King Roku descended to the ground and stared at Ezequiel for a moment before looking at the Magi trio.

"Leave." While his voice was calm, it carried a powerful intent that allowed no disobedience. 

Kriz, Jury, and Sebastian did not hesitate before bowing toward Roku and leaving.

Ezequiel and Roku stared at each other for a second before they both released a wave of physical might. The power of their bodies clashed, making the room tremble.

They started at a low level, but soon their power made thunder and lightning fill the room. It did not take long for tiny cracks in space to appear.

A meaningful light appeared in Roku's eyes when he saw the level Ezequiel's body could achieve without any form of powerup. It was then that the Royal took a step forward, generating a shock wave that blasted toward the Supreme Neo-Demon.

The power of Roku's physical pressure could easily crush a weak Rank 6 life form, and even for Ezequiel, it was almost too much.

Before the pressure could push him back, Ezequiel took a deep breath, and then a heartbeat that resembled an explosion echoed through the room.

The Infinity Heart's beat made a shock wave of physical pressure emerge from Ezequiel's body that equaled Roku's.

When Roku saw Ezequiel's power, his eyes widened, and then a smile appeared on his face.
