Chapter 611 - Lead The Divinity World
Zatiel smiled as he pointed at six of the seven Rank 8 Magi.
"You have one hundred years to hand over a Rank 8 Demondand corpse, one Rank 8 Artifact, and one Void Grade Chaos Stones. If you don't, I will hunt you down and eat your souls."
The Neo-Demon was the type that would seek vengeance for the slightest grievance, and after becoming the Godking of Justice, that part of him only grew stronger. He would repay the good and the bad accordingly.
Since those Magi dared to think of taking advantage of him, Zatiel would make them pay. And if they did not, the Neo-Demon would keep his word and kill them.
A Rank 6 life form threatening six Beyond the Shackles existences would be laughable in any other scenario, but the Magi marked could not help but tremble when they heard those words. Not only did Zatiel have a Rank 8 guard by his side, but there was also a Law Overlord protecting him from the shadows.
That last part was due to the Magi mistaking the origin of the Rank 9 Spell and not knowing the uniqueness of the Neo-Demon Realm after Hades fused with the NRAI. Of course, Zatiel would not correct them since that worked in his favor.
Under any other circumstance, the Rank 8 Magi would seek the help of Issac if being targeted by such a monster. Yet, the Magus Primarch did not even bother to look at them, making it clear they could not count on his help this time.
No one among the six Magi did not feel incredibly wronged. The corpse and the artifact were somewhat manageable due to their powers, but the Void Grade Chaos Stones were resources that one could only find in the Void Ring of the Prima-Eldritch Universe Final Battlefield.
The Void Grade Chaos Stones were capable of helping an Eternal Detachment life form's battle power and perception toward the laws. If they were to come across one, they would treat it as a divine treasure, but now they had to hand over one to Zatiel just for thinking of harming him. That was a clear injustice.
Of course, had they got the chance to kill Zatiel and go impune, they would have taken it. As for the justice in that, none of the Magi even bother to think about it.
Zatiel could deduce all the thoughts crossing their minds, but he did not care. Actually, if they were not part of the Magi World, he would not have given them a way out, and their lives would have ended the moment his power rose to a level where he would not need to fear a Primarch.
The one thing that drew some curiosity on the Neo-Demon was the only Magi that did not target him. Ironically, he was the one that resembled an overweight demon with horns, the Darkness Moon Kingdom's creator.
"Damien, am I right? I am curious, why did the offer of the Overgod not tempt you?" Zatiel was sure there was not a relationship between him and the Magi, so there should not be a reason for Damien to at least consider the woman's offer.
The fact his words could draw some ill will from the other Magi toward Damien did not go unnoticed by Zatiel. However, targeting everybody but the overweight demon already caused that effect, and besides, Damien was more than capable of defending himself with his Peak Beyond the Limits cultivation.
The Magus was a little surprised by the question, but he chose to remain silent and just gave a cordial nod.
Zatiel's eyes focused on the Magus' karmic ties, and the answer to his question presented itself very fast.
"Hahaha, as they say, never judge a book for its cover." The Neo-Demon turned toward the Overgod after finishing with that. If looks could kill, he would have perished countless times already.
After insulting her and deploying that Rank 9 Spell, the Neo-Demon ignored her and chatted with the Rank 8 Magi. How could the arrogant and conceited Overgod forgive that?
Zatiel was not trying to bother the woman with his carefree attitude. It was just that seeing a plan unfolding according to his wishes and having everything under control put him in a very good mood. That was not something he could enjoy battling the King in Yellow.
The Neo-Demon was about to trigger his rune formation when the Overgod sealed her killing intent and spoke with a pleasant voice.
"Before you do anything, please allow me to offer a different path. I will not feign ignorance and tell you that power is not an immense threat to us. Still, you should know that I sealed a significant part of it thanks to my cultivation. Once you trigger that poison, I will be able to fight against it, and in the worst case in which I lose my soul and body, there is no way you, or anyone else for that matter, can destroy my Omega Law."
Zatiel had to admit that the woman was wise. Other than when he attacked her mental trauma related to the King in Yellow, she could keep complete control over her emotions.
And her words were not wrong. When Zatiel reached the void, he focused on the Gods and saw how the King in Yellow's power tainted their karma. That was why he had the confidence to influence this war despite his cultivation.
Zatiel hypothesized that the King in Yellow poisoned those Gods by tainting their food, meaning the Faith Power coming from the mortals. While the concept was simple, the process was highly complex, especially if the Eldritch Universe's Champion did it secretly.
Only someone like the King in Yellow who knew the Gods' Path of Power like the back of his hand could do it without even a Primach noticing it.
None of the Gods could purify their karma, but some could seal some of it, with the Overgod the most efficient.
Noticing the Neo-Demon silence made the Overgod smile, highly increasing her beauty.
"What is the point of helping to achieve his petty vengeance when in the grand scheme of things, nothing will truly change. I offer you the chance to join me and lead the Divinity World as equal.. We could evolve the Gods' Path of Power with our powers to something even greater than the original. Not even the Eldritch Universe or Alpha Universe could face the two of us together!"
