Chapter 678: Fighting a Peak Beyond Limit Stage Archdevil!
“Astral Omega Slayer: Slash Nether and Essence!” Ivar thrust Ars Goetia toward the pillar of lightning with all his might. There was no glorious light or giant incarnations, only a tiny arc of Astral Chaos.
It could not compare with the gargantuan pillar of lightning that pierced the Astral Chaos Cage, but that arc contained a force that could change the nature of reality.
That attack was Ivar’s trump card and what it did was overload space-time with an Astral Chaos so potent that it annihilated the other two great forces, Nether Chaos and Essence Chaos.
Doing that meant that everything reverted to a period where Astral Chaos stood as king, the mightiest of all the great forces.
“BOOM!” A horrible explosion occurred as the arc of Astral Chaos clashed with the pillar of lightning, pushing Ivar and Bael away.
The Magus’s body suffered some wounds, but a smile emerged on his face. Even if that was just a basic attack from Lilet, he still managed to counter it.
Someone at the Peak Everlasting Stage was able to resist a blow from a Peak Omega Detachment Stage existence!
Lilet appeared next to Bael the next second and stared at Ivar with shock. Of course, there was also killing intent since the greater the Magus’ talent, the more she needed to get rid of him before it was too late.
Unfortunately, while the Heavenly Primarch would have wanted to stay and kill Ivar along with both Supernovas, she knew it was impossible. As soon as she sent Bael into her Inner Universe, she transformed into an arc of lighting and vanished.
Lilet disappeared just in time to dodge two golden hands the size of High Worlds that crushed the space she occupied a second ago.
Issac appeared inside the broken Astral Omega Cage and focused in the direction where the arc of lightning left. He had grown more powerful but knew that chasing after the Heavenly Primarch would be futile.
Other than great destructive power, Lilet’s Omega Law also granted her a speed the Magus Primarch could not match.
“Geezer, you took your sweet time coming here.” Ivar smiled as he spoke to the Magus Primarch, but this one only sneered.
“Rebellious brat, did not I tell you to stay away from members of the Evil Races? Not only do we lack the power to handle them on our own, but if we attack ahead of time, we could disrupt his plan. If he gets angry, I will not hesitate to put all the blame on you.” Issac immediately reprimanded Ivar, making this one nod his head repeatedly.
Of course, neither of them was truly afraid that their actions could enrage Zatiel. They knew that as long as they followed the rules and did not harm a Neo-Demon, Tyrannos would at most punish them with some fine in case they disrupted his plans.
The Magi duo did not hide their words, so Epoch Zero and Ruin Second could hear it all, and they were surprised to know that even Primarchs spoke about Zatiel Daybreak with such deterrence.
Issac turned toward the Supernova duo and stared at Epoch Zero for a moment before speaking.
“We will go to the Solaris Massacre Anniversary, and I can assume that the members of the Immortal Alliance will do as well, but whether or not we will help you is not up to us.”
Issac did not try to trick the duo and was very direct.
The true enemy was the Eldritch Universe, Endless Darkness’ Core of Existence left in Abyss and the one hidden in the Alpha Universe. Issac and Salomon had already accepted that they could not handle the responsibility of such a task. Only someone like Zatiel, who had already brought to their side an Extreme Rank 9 like En, could.
He knew that while the Supernova Race and Fallen Race considered the Heavenly Race as their final enemy, the Evil Races were nothing but an annoyance in Zatiel’s mind.
Epoch Zero and Ruin Second adopted severe expressions as they bowed toward Issac before nodding, signaling that they understood the Magus’ words.
“I will take you back to Solaris,” Issac spoke to the duo before turning toward Ivar. “You and I will go to the Prima-Eldritch Universe Final Battlefield. I don’t like the way some Rank 8 Eldritch behave in the Void Circle.”
Ivar nodded toward Issac. In the next second, both Magi and Supernovas flew away.

The First Circle of Hell, Avernus, was incredibly large, with plains and mountain ranges more extensive than the entire landmass of some Low Worlds.
It had countless cities built in strategic locations that were easy to defend and with high concentrations of Origin Power.
There was one of those cities in the center of a massive mountain range, and it was one dominated by a powerful Rank 8 Archdevil, so it was no surprise that looking at it from the outside, everything seemed fine.
However, if you were powerful enough or entered the city right now, you would know that a battle of apocalyptic proportions was happening.
A dark mist butchered trillions of Devils inside the city sealed in a black cage. The mist killed those beneath the Law Realm as soon as it touched them, with only a few Rank 7 Archdevils managing to put up resistance.
While that carnage on the ground was impressive and worthy of legends, it was nothing compared with the battle happening in the sky.
One side was composed of a fifty thousand meter high Archdevil with a body that unleashed powerful flames. Not only was the fiend physically imposing, but his aura put him at the Peak Beyond Limit Stage.
The ones facing this mighty creature were a young man with an imposing aura full of justice, a skeleton giant with crushing gravitational power, a humanoid with a red body, and a scrawny creature with several arms.
For the first time, Zatiel was fighting alongside Ira, Gula, and Envidia, and the might the four were capable of unleashing was overwhelming the Peak Beyond Limit Stage Archdevil!
