Chapter 587 - Mystery
Ezequiel and the Sky Breakers were shocked by what had just happened. They knew Zatiel came back stronger, but the fact he could now even fix Law Bloodline using a power none could even understand amazed them.
Of course, they only felt happiness that their fearless leader had grown to such a level.
It was not until an entire minute after the apparition of the wheel that the Neo-Demons heard a sound in the room.
"Hey brat, how about giving that bloodline to this frail old man."
Nitzer, who was also astonished by what he experienced, was awakened by those words. He turned to the origin and saw a bulky man with a blood vitality that burned like a sun.
A complicated expression appeared in the young Neo-Demon. This bloodline was precious and would be of great help for his cultivation, but he could not just reject a request from one of the Sky Breakers.
Luckily for the young Neo-Demon, a swordsman and a dragonborn slapped the head of the bulky man the next second.
"Stop messing around. This brat thought you were serious." Heinz shook his head, but it seemed he was already used to bulky man's behavior.
"Hahaha, brat, you should have seen your face. It was hilarious." Tyrus laughed as he made fun of the young Neo-Demon.
Other than Nitzer, none of the presents took the Abomination Gorilla's words seriously. There was no way any of them would be so shameless as to take a bloodline from a younger generation member.
Anyone who would do such a thing was not fit to be a member of the Neo-Demon Race. They were a utopian race where everybody looked after each other, and adults always protected the young ones.
Besides, Nitzer's Law Bloodline was not useful for any of them.
An Emperor Bloodline would improve your talent until Rank 6, and from that point on, it would be useless. As for the improvement granted to your battle power, it would also weaken significantly.
Due to their hard work, even the weakest had obtained a Half Law Bloodline, and pushing it to the Fourth Order level would only be helpful if they could not advance to Rank 7 on their own. However, everybody present had trained tirelessly and pushed themselves beyond their limits for hundreds of years.
The Sky Breakers could become Void Creators whenever they wanted, but they were solidifying their foundation, strengthening their Supernova Seed. That was not something a Fourth Order Law Bloodline that barely granted the talent to enter Rank 7 could help with.
Nitzer was surprised by the behavior of the Sky Breakers. He expected these elders of the race to act with solemnity and not so "normal."
"Go on." Ezequiel's words made Nitzer react and store the bloodline in his space ring.
"Now, for the second reward, you can choose any member of the race as your Teacher."
The young Neo-Demon's eyes glowed when he heard that. This reward was actually the most important of the two. A bloodline would be of great help, but a good Teacher could provide a more detailed view of the laws and techniques to improve your battle style.
Originally, Nitzer had planned to ask for the Supreme Neo-Demon to be his Teacher, but now things changed. He slowly turned his head to the boy sitting in the lap of one of the most beautiful women he had ever seen.
"Can I choose you?" Nitzer spoke with a quiet voice, and there was some embarrassment on his face.
Ezequiel and the Sky Breakers noticed the young man's intention the moment he turned his head, so there was no surprise, and they only smiled.
"Hahaha, what a greedy brat." Zatiel laughed when he saw the awkwardness in the young Neo-Demon.
"I can become your Teacher if that is your choice, but I must warn you, I truly suck at it and am very busy, so I could not truly guide you." Zatiel could not help but think about the Fourth Princess of the Scientia Kingdom. He was her Teacher but had given her very little guidance.
"Brat, taking a Teacher is just like learning a spell. You should not choose the strongest but the most suitable for you. Due to your bloodline, your battle style would focus on the Devouring Law and melee martial skills. In that case, you should choose the lousy comedian."
The Sky Breakers laughed when they heard the last part as Tyrus's face turned red.
There was one point that Zatiel did not mention, and that was that a stronger Teacher would provide a better background, but that did not matter in the Neo-Demon Race. No matter who they were, the moment someone attempted to bully a Neo-Demon, the entire race would march to protect that person.
Nitzer nodded to Zatiel's words, and then he turned toward Tyrus before performing a deep bow.
Tyrus adopted a solemn expression as he received the bow of the young Neo-Demon and nodded.
"I will visit you once I am done here and assist you in assimilating the bloodline. After that, we will travel to Abyss to test your techniques against demons." His tone clearly showed that the Abomination Gorilla took this task very seriously.
Zatiel nodded and waved his hand, sending Nitzer back to his party. Now that they had finished with that, he began addressing the critical matters at hand.
"Sophia, Zitra, Totto, Kylo, Rax, Heinz, Juntu, you seven will figure out the location of the Rank 7 Archdevils and Archdemons in the first two hells of Baator and sixty layers of Abyss. Be careful, especially in Nine Hells, as the older the devils, the more cunning they are. The demon and devils I asked you to collect became obsolete, so do with them as you wish."
The seven Sky Breakers nodded when they heard the command. While tracking Archedevils and Archdemons would be dangerous, they should be able to escape from those at the Seed Stage if they gave their all.
"Dante, take this with you to the Scientia Kingdom. One for John Erick and another for the Fourth Princess. Bring back an orb with a Dark Tower Alliance's tattoo." Two dark purple orbs emerged from Zatiel's head and reached Dante's space ring. Each one contained an immense amount of Virtual Force and Karmic Samsara Force.
"Once you are over with that, join the others in figuring out the location of the Archdevils and Archdemons. Tyrus, you will train that brat for forty years and guide him during his Three Severings and Nine Apocalyptic Heavens. After that, join the others in Abyss and Baator."
Dante and Tyrus nodded, and they began to organize their time.
Finally, Zatiel's gaze landed on Ezequiel and focused on the power of the True Will and True Doomsday Body. They were both powerful enough to allow the Supreme Neo-Demon to seal a Peak Tier 12 Star.
A pensive expression appeared in Zatiel, as he used Void Universe and Void Teleportation to visit every Tier 12 Star in the Neo-Demon Realm.
Zatiel's right eye analyzed every star, and once he finished with them, he could not help but frown. He discovered that two-thirds of them had entities that were not Star Consciousnesses inside them.
"How did this happen?" Although their auras were hidden, Zatiel was sure those entities were Primordials.
He created the Neo-Demon Realm, and there was nothing that could have been hidden from his sight when he was the Incarnation of Death and Destruction, so these Primordials arrived after the end of his second life.
There was definitely a great mystery surrounding these changes in the Neo-Demon Realm. Other than Zatiel, only the baernaloths had some idea of the realm's existence, and with the Incarnation of Death and Destruction nature, there was no way he would have left loose ends.
'Ahh, I need to be more careful from now on.' Zatiel only sighed before using Void Teleportation and returning to the Magic Tower.
"Ezequiel, you should proceed with the final sealing of your True Doomsday Body Path of Power. This should be enough to fix any severe wound you may receive." Zatiel opened his mouth, making three drops of blood emerge from it and enter the Supreme Neo-Demon's head.
Ezequiel felt the healing power of those drops and smiled. He had previously waited for his True Will to become stronger, so the damage received in the sealing would not force him into a coma, but with Zatiel's blood, he could act immediately.
"Also, you can only pick one of these stars. You must not touch the rest."
The Supreme Neo-Demon was a little surprised by Zatiel's restriction, but since the heavenly body he wanted to seal was among the ones available, he did not have a problem with it.
"Do your best to reach the Limit Rank 6 in the True Doomsday Body, as I am planning to do something that will be of great help to our advance into Rank 7."
Zatiel saw Ezequiel nodding, and seeing that everybody already knew their missions, he used the Void Universe and vanished.
