Abyssal Lord of the Magi World

"¡BOOM!"

The Astral Chaos Force cocoon explosion unleashed a purple wave in every direction that seemed capable of ignoring space-time. It touched every Magi and God, allowing them to feel it with their bodies and souls.

A sense of confusion assaulted the Magi as they felt the wave pass by them. It did not harm them in any way, but they found it extremely odd that they could not perceive anything from it. 

Rank 8 life forms have an extremely deep and broad understanding of the Prima Universe's laws, especially those that have already reached the Beyond the Limit Stage. Even when Zatiel disintegrated the frost golden giant, and they could not pinpoint the exact nature of the power he used, the Magi did notice its connection to the Law of Death and the Law of Destruction. 

However, this power was like nothing the Rank 8 Magi had ever seen in the Prima Universe.

The only Magus that understood this power was Issac. Until the rise of the Alpha Universe, the purpose of his life was to destroy the Eldritch Universe, so he learned to perceive its Principal Laws.

A grave expression appeared in the Magi World's Leader as he turned to the origin of the wave.

Unlike the Magi's side, where only one managed to figure out the nature of that wave, no one among the Gods failed to recognize it. Their bravado and confidence from when they heard the Overgod's words vanished, and the only thing that remained was fear and trepidation. 

Even the Overgod, who seemed incapable of expressing any form of emotion, found herself unable to calm down. Before, when there was only an aura coming from a fissure, she was unsure, but now there was no doubt. This force is the same sweet poison all Divinity World's Gods have swallowed. 

In the end, all the Magi and Gods focused on a single person, the man at the explosion's core. He stood there with his eyes closed as countless prime force threads emerged from his body and connected with nine black orbs, forming a majestic rune.

This time, regarding the black orbs, it was the turn of the Rank 8 Gods to be confused. All the Magi that had ever killed an Eldritch recognized the aura of a True Self.

Of course, those nine orbs contained only shattered pieces that had been purged by Astral Chaos Force, making it impossible for the Eldritch to revive. Otherwise, the Universe Will would have acted when Ivar took them out of the Prima-Eldritch Universe Final Battlefield.

Issac's gaze narrowed as he saw those spheres. He kept an eye on Ivar all this time, so he knew that it was the Flawless who gave Zatiel those orbs. Yet, that only made more and more questions appear in his mind.

How did Zatiel gain access to powers of the Eldritch Universe's Principal Laws? And may even most important, why did he feel trepidation in the Overgod due to the wave containing them? 

The Overgod knew that the power she felt due to that wave affected her so much that Issac and Ivar must have felt her anxiousness. Instead of giving an excuse, the woman ignored it and carried on with her plan.

"Flawless, I know your hate should have originated from a great injustice suffered at the hands of a Divinity World's God. Since there is no record of us clashing with you, it must have been in a previous life, when you called our world home."

Ivar being part of the Divinity World in his past life was not a surprise for anyone. Anyone with half a neuron would realize that was the most plausible origin for his hate. However, what the Overgod said next did shock them all, both Magi and Gods.

"To make amends and show you my fairness, I am willing to hand over anyone you consider responsible. Other than Tyr and Satan, you can pick anyone you want. If you want all the Rank 8, there is no problem." She did not bother to hide her voice, making it clear how little she cared about the Gods' feelings. 

The Gods could not believe what they had just heard. When they felt Zatiel's power, they were still hopeful that the Overgod would find a way out for them, but now she offered them to Ivar so he could torture them. 

"Mother!" A beautiful woman yelled to the Overgod, and there was a sense of despair and sadness on her face. 

The woman saw the Overgod turn to her, and what she saw were eyes she had seen many times before. They were the same eyes she and every other God displayed when they looked at the mortals that begged for their help.

It was only now that the woman and all the other Gods realized that for the Overgod, they were nothing but fatter cattle.

"Did I allow you to speak?" The Overgod said nothing else before waving his hand, making her daughter crash against a Divine Kingdom, almost shattering the woman's body.

The other Rank 8 Gods did not know whether to laugh or cry when they saw the woman's fortune. She was the weakest of them, but they always treated her with respect and made numerous concessions in previous deals due to her background. 

Such treatment left a bad taste in the Gods, but they just endured it. How could they have known that for the Overgod, she was nothing special? 

None of the Rank 8 Gods attempted to run as they knew it would be futile. There was no way any of them could escape from the Overgod and the other two Rank 9 Gods.

Like if almost destroying her daughter's existence meant nothing, the Overgod turned back toward Ivar and spoke with a calm voice. 

"I am willing to grant your revenge. The only thing I want is for you to kill that man.." The Overgod raised her hand, and the one she pointed was no other than Zatiel.
