Chapter 599 - Depravita Race
"JUSTICE!"
The True Will roared along the Neo-Demon, as the silver flame in his eyes extended all over his golden body and grew into a mighty sun.
At that exact moment, the Magus female stopped screaming, and then her head exploded as the nightmarish creature emerged from it and began to devour the body.
"You dare!" Hiker roared with anger as his energy circulated and focused on the Realm Avatar. Hades' words and Zatiel's loud proclamation made it clear to him that the Neo-Demon could have saved the woman but chose not to.
Hades stood up, and the black hole domain emerged as he returned the Magus' gaze. Personally, he thought Zatiel should have let the woman go to avoid the trouble, but since things reached this point, he would not show any weakness.
Besides, the moment he agreed to fuse with the Neo-Demon Realm, he became part of the Neo-Demon Race and will always support the Ancestor. Not to mention his mentality also changed, and the woman's action truly disgusted him.
When Hades prepared to fight against the Magus, his aura became cold and ruthless.
Hiker's eyes narrowed as he felt the aura of the Realm Avatar. He did not really want to fight, just put a solid front to demand even higher retribution for the dead Magus, but it was clear the enemy was not ready to back down.
He glanced at the other Beyond the Shackles Magi. Although they were angry, none of them was willing to side with him in this fight.
Zatiel was too mysterious, and his abilities were unfathomable, so the Rank 8 Magi were not ready to fall out with him until knowing more, especially since the only affected by the nightmarish creature was a member of Pluto's Lightning Clan.
In the end, Hiker only sent a hostile gaze toward Hades and Zatiel before looking toward the creature that had just finished with the Magus' body and was about to lunge toward the others.
Of course, the Magi inside the tower had not just stood without doing nothing as the creature feasted on the woman's corpse. They had channeled their energy into the Magic Tower, generating a golden net around that nightmare, hoping it would keep it sealed.
Smiles appeared in the Magi when they saw that it could not leave the golden net.
Even if Deprativas had amazing abilities, the creature was just at the Middle Void Stage after devouring the woman, and the golden net had energy equal to Pseudo Rank 8.
Unfortunately, while the net kept the creature's physical body at bay, its black foul aura still managed to leak and began to affect the Magi's hearts and minds.
A ferocious smile appeared in the Depravia as he felt the Magi's fear and doubt growing inside them, almost to the point where he could teleport into their minds.
However, just as the creature was about to jump into one of the Magi, a vortex appeared inside it, making it vanish from the Magic Tower.
The nightmarish creature appeared in front of Zatiel, and rage appeared in its deformed face due to losing its target, but when he saw those eyes glowing with silver light, an absolute terror appeared in it.
'Oh, interesting, it seems that my Will Force terrifies it.' Zatiel smiled as he noticed the creature's expression and saw that the other two acted the same. His True Will was still in the process of advancing into the Sun Collapser Rank, so he could not stop his Will Force from leaking.
The Neo-Demon glanced at the void and saw how he was the center of attention from Magi and Gods. He waved his hand, generating a cocoon of prime force that covered him and the Deprativas.
It was fine if they saw the previous experiment, as they would find out immediately during a fight, but now things were different.
Despite Zatiel's incredible abilities, his Karmic Samsara Force was still far from being able to block the consciousness of Rank 8 life forms. Still, those Magi or Gods could only depend on their eyes to see what was happening inside Gods' Tomb, and the prime force was more than enough to block that.
Once he was sure no one could see them, Zatiel took his blue lightsaber and slashed toward the creature's chest.
"¡AAAAAAAAAA!"
The creature roared as great pain appeared in his deformed face and looked toward Zatiel with more fury. As for the other two, they began to smile as hunger appeared in their eyes.
'Yin Law adds a spiritual nature to my attacks, but although its resistance is weaker than to energy attacks, it still manages to ignore almost half of its power.'
Next, Zatiel began to manipulate his newly acquired Will Force. As a Sun Collapser, he could pour the silver flames into his Inner Law Dimension to enhance his spells or in his body to augment his physical might.
Nevertheless, while an Initial Sun Collapser's Will Force could give a Neo-Demon an entire stage of battle power in Rank 7, at Rank 8, it could barely be enough to jump a level.
If Zatiel went all out, his battle power might reach the Initial Beyond Falsehood Stage, and with his Will Force, he may grow up to the Middle level.
Yet, he did not mobilize his Will Force for that since an increase in raw battle power at this moment would only make Gods' Tomb kick him out.
The Neo-Demon wanted to see what effect Will Force, the metaphysical manifestation of his faith in himself, would have on a creature made of negative emotions.
It was just an ember of Will Force, but the moment it touched the creature's head, this one began to scream like crazy.
"AAAAAAAAAAAA!" The pain it felt was as if Zatiel tore it apart, limb by limb.
Even the other two nightmarish creatures that always showed hungry smiles when they saw their comrade suffer now displayed utter fear.
Zatiel stopped just as the creature's power fell all the way to Rank 6, and then it threw it into his right eye.
The creature had just appeared inside the Rex Somniorum Eye's dimension when something lunged toward it and began to rip it to pieces. The attacker was not other than the first nightmarish creature Zatiel sent into his right eye.
No matter how you saw them, these creatures were pure and true to their nature. There was no intelligence in them, only instincts. The only goal of their existence was to corrupt intelligent life forms' hearts and minds so that they could devour them from the inside out.
Zatiel had seen enough to understand that these creatures could never change. It was impossible to reason with them, and hoping that there could be any virtue inside them, was like hoping that ice could keep you warm.
That realization did not make the Neo-Demon feel bad. On the contrary, a smile appeared on his face. Since there was no salvation for this evil, he could use them without any sense of remorse.
'For a cursed race born of negative emotions and ideas, whose purpose is only to propagate corruption, who see in intelligent life forms nothing but food, there is no better name for you than Depravita Race.'
