Chapter 685: Crisis and Zurtur
“Chaos-Order Unity Formation!”
Zatiel roared those words as pillars of a black force began to connect the Archdevils and Archdemons.
The souls, bodies, energies, and even the Omega Laws of those at Rank 8, were ignited, dooming all those Archdemons and Archdevils but generating enough force to trigger that mighty formation.
All those Devils and Demons saw how the Archfiends’ bodies collapsed, morphing into literal black suns. It generated a force field larger than a Low World, and then it happened.
An invisible force emerged from the Chaos-Order Unity Formation, and the first place it touched was the Styx River. It obliterated the trillions of Demons and Devils on the bridge in less than a millisecond!
None of the fiends, not even the Devil Lords or Demons Lords, could do anything, as they perished before their souls could detect anything.
The formation did not just kill those trillions of Devils and Demons. It pulverized them into their most basic state and devoured their essences.
Zatiel’s eyes narrowed as he detected how the black suns purified the essence devoured from those trillions of fiends. He could draw that into himself whenever he wanted but did not act yet, as he waited for the invisible force to reach Baator and Abyss.
Although Archdemons and Archdevils did not take part in the war in the Styx River, that did not mean they did not keep an eye on it.
Those Archdemons and Archdevils were utterly shocked by the sudden appearance of so many Rank 7 and Rank 8 Archfiends in the formation, especially since they recognized a large portion of them.
Everything happened so fast that they failed to react before the invisible force originating from the formation killed every life form in the Styx River.
Things only grew from bad to worse as the invisible force reached Abyss and Baator, ignoring the Crystal Walls of the evil planes and merging into the landmass of Avernus and the 1st Layer of Abyss.
None of the Rank 8 Archdemons or Archdevils could even perceive the invisible force penetrating their planes, much less stop it.
In the 99th Layer of Abyss, there was a monstrous albino dragon. The power in this Archdemon was many times higher than those Zatiel used in his Chaos-Order Unity Formation.
His name was Crisis, the Rank 9 Archdemon in control of the first one hundred layers of Abyss.
The death of all those Demons in the Styx River was not enough to wake Crisis from his slumber. Still, he immediately opened his eyes when the invisible force coming from the formation entered the 1st Layer of Abyss.
Just as Crisis woke from his slumber, the highest volcano in Avernus began to tremble, unleashing massive earthquakes that could be felt all over the First Circle of Hell.
It did not take long for a massive Archdevil with a body made of lava and smoke to rise from the volcano.
He was Zurtur, the Rank 9 Archdevil in control of Avernus.
Crisis and Zurtur teleported to the location where the invisible force first made contact with their respective evil planes, shocking the Archdevils and Archdemons present.
None of the Rank 9 Archfiends bother with their servants since they had a more important thing to handle. Unlike those at Rank 8, they managed to detect the invisible force but could not interfere with it.
The invisible force spreads quickly, making things worse for the Rank 9 Archfiends. It did not take long for the force to corrupt the entire first layer of Abyss before it immediately jumped to the second layer, and it did not move any slower in Avernus.
Since they could not stop the invisible force, their only path was to handle its origin, but a complicated expression appeared on Zurtur and Crisis’ faces as they focused on the formation and the man at its center.
Neither Zurtur nor Crisis could destroy the force field around the formation from afar, so they would have to get near it and attack point-blank. Leaving their evil planes would weaken them, not to mention they had no idea who that man was or what he was capable of.
None of them was willing to risk their life, especially if there was someone else who could take the risk. Due to their selfishness, a game of chicken started between Crisis and Zurtur.
Zatiel did not care about the Rank 9 Archfiends and waited until the invisible force coming from the Chaos-Order Unity Formation had corrupted the first seventy layers of Abyss and more than eighty percent of Avernus.
‘Now!’ The Neo-Demon’s eyes glowed as the invisible force acted.
Crisis and Zurtur waited for the other to act when their eyes widened, and shock assaulted their souls. Their consciousness had spread over their domains, and they saw with horror how the invisible force began to siphon away the life of the zones it corrupted.
The rivers dried up, the flora perished, and even those Demons and Devils that had yet to reach the Law Realm began to die. If that were all, it would not have caused such a commotion in the Rank 9 Archfiends, but they realized that the invisible force also began to consume the origins of Abyss’ layers and Avernus!
Terror emerged in the Archdevils and Archdemons’ hearts as they saw those black suns that resembled so much to black holes and realized they were being used to devour the origin of Abyss and Baator.
The image of an entity with red eyes bathed in shadows appeared in the Archfiends’ minds, and they could not help but tremble.
“IMPOSSIBLE!” Zurtur could not control his emotions and scream.
Although the Incarnation of Destruction harmed both Abyss and Baator, the second experienced an extinction-level event at the hand of that monster.
When the Incarnation of Death and Destruction attacked Baator, Zurtur had been nothing more than a weak Devil in the Third Circle of Hell, Minauros. Even after becoming a Rank 9 life form, the Archdevil could not forget the fear that unstoppable monster generated in him.
“GO!” Zurtur roared at the Rank 7 and Rank 8 Archdevils, frightening those fiends.
None of those Archdevils wanted to leave Avernus as they were just as terrified as Zurtur, but they did not have a choice. If they disobeyed, the only path ahead was death.
Crisis saw how the Archdevils flashed toward that massive formation, and then he turned toward the Archdemons.
“You go as well.”
Those Archdemons were just celebrating that the ones taking the risk would be the Devils when they heard Crisis’ command. It did not matter how they felt as they had to obey, so they left Abyss and flashed toward the formation.
Zatiel had captured many of the Rank 8 Archfiends in the first seventy layers of Abyss and Avernus, but among the ones left, there were Beyond Redemption Stage existences.
Even if the number of Archdevils and Archdemons flying toward the formation was less than seventy, their power was something to be reckoned with.
The fear in those Archfiends made them go all out from the beginning, as they burned their life force and soul force to improve their power.
Just as the Archdemons and Archdevils were about to reach the Chaos-Order Unity Formation, dozens of golden hands and beams of swords light descended on them, killing every last one.
Zurtur and Crisis were shocked to see how those attacks killed all their servants, and then they saw six individuals, all of which were much stronger than them, appear.
