Chapter 483: Entering the Earth Ring
“Anyway, you won, and it’s time to claim our spoils.” A smile appeared on Zatiel’s face as he turned to Tksar and extended his hand.
The Dawn Titan could not hide the rage burning inside his heart. Not only had he been humiliated, but he would also have to hand over some of the most valuable resources in his possession.
Anyone else would have adopted a discrete approach, asking for the Chaos Stones later to avoid embarrassing Tksar even more and trying to stop an eternal grudge from forming between them.
However, how could someone like Zatiel care about the face of an insignificant Rank 6 Dawn Titan.
“Titan, hand over the four Earth Grade Chaos Stones now.”
Tksar’s eyes almost spit flames of rage when he heard the Neo-Demon’s words and saw the geniuses focusing on him. His wrath only grew when he saw that someone he had not even bothered to look before was commanding him.
“Since when an insignificant Rank 5 life form has the guts to give me an order!”
“Since now. Hand over the stones and hurry up. I don’t like wasting time speaking with children.”
The other party did not care about offending them, so why would Zatiel bother being polite?
Every part of his spirit urged the Dawn Titan to jump forward and rip to pieces those who dared to offend him, but he was able to control his impulses. Attacking now would only work to increase his shame.
“Are you letting others take what is yours!?” Fighting was out of the table, so the Dawn Titan wanted to create some conflicts among the Magi group by inciting a response from Ezequiel.
Unfortunately for Tksar, the Supreme Neo-Demon barely glanced at him after hearing that and then, without saying a word, went back to his analysis of the battle.
Chaos Stones were such a valuable resource that they could incite greed and resentment even among brothers. However, between the Supreme Neo-Demon and the Neo-Demon’s Ancestor, “yours” and “mine” lost their meaning, leaving only “ours.”
Zatiel smiled as he saw the futile attempt from Tksar of putting Ezequiel against him and began to move his palm, signaling the Dawn Titan to hand over the Chaos Stones while at the same time mocking him.
Although he wanted nothing more than to invalidate the bet using some excuse as Ezequiel’s victory not being honorable due to his bloodline thief status, the Dark Tower’s Spirit would not allow anyone to renege their words.
Tksar took out four fist-sized gems from his space ring. They seemed to contain a unique form of power, and they attracted the Dark Tower’s laws and universal forces to them.
He sent the four Earth Grade Chaos Stones to Zatiel and gave one final hateful stare to the Magi group before departing with the rest of the Titans.
Zatiel did not care about the Titans, and once the Chaos Stones were in front of him, he did not resist and immediately began to inspect them with the Rebirth Eye.
Despite his mighty power and status in his previous life, he never came in contact with Chaos Stones, as they had gone extinct in the Prima Universe billions of years before his rise.
His right eye could decipher many things and pierce into the fabric of the laws despite his weak cultivation, but these gems’ composition was way beyond his capacities.
“We should procure your residences so you two can enter the Earth Ring.”
Dean’s voice drew Zatiel’s attention away from the Chaos Stones, and after a moment of thought, the Neo-Demon nodded.
“Let’s go.” Zatiel stored the four Earth Grade Chaos Stones and followed the Crown Prince back to the residences.
As they flew away, Zatiel felt many unfriendly glares focusing on him, specifically his space ring. They could do nothing inside the Dark Tower, but things would be much different if they saw each other in the Earth Ring.
The Neo-Demon only smiled as he felt those greedy eyes. He chose to become a champion of justice, so it would not be proper for him to steal from the other Dark Tower’s members, but if they were foolish enough to anger him, he did not mind taking their space rings, harvesting their bloodlines, and devouring their bodies and souls.
Once they reached the massive buildings, Zatiel and Ezequiel touched their surface, and their Dark Tower tattoos immediately began to glow.
In a second, the Dark Tower’s Spirit assigned them a residence within the building that they could use whenever they want free of cost.
While those rooms would be a cultivation paradise for most life forms, they drew no interest in either Ezequiel or Zatiel.
“We will leave now. Good luck, and I hope the next time we see each other again, we all have become stronger.”
The Neo-Demons and the Royals did not plan to remain together within the Earth Ring.
Their purpose was the same: enter the Earth Ring, harvest resources, and kill members of the Eldritch Race, but being together would only diminish the amount of wealth, and the chances of battles each of them would get.
Once they shook their hands, the Neo-Demons flew to the zone containing the portals toward the Earth Ring. Many eyes observed them, but none of the geniuses attempted to follow the duo as only they would know their destination.
Using the Earth Ring’s map, the Neo-Demons chose a location near a Tier 2 Stronghold. A blue force covered the duo, and the next second, the Dark Tower launched them toward the super battlefield.
It took them but a second to reach the surface, and although they were a little nauseous, the Neo-Demons recuperated very fast.
They quickly analyzed their surroundings and found out they were in the center of a massive mountain range. The laws affected teleportation, so it was not uncommon to end up a few thousand kilometers away from their original destination.
A grey fog containing wild and chaotic energies covered everything around them, affecting the power of their consciousness, vision, and other senses.
Both felt oddly uncomfortable due to the different nature of the laws and natural energies between this universe and the Prima Universe.
Zatiel pushed the Rebirth Eye’s visual abilities to the limit, while Ezequiel attempted to connect with the elements and share their perception.
The fog significantly weakened their scanning powers, allowing them to cover only a fraction of what they could achieve in the Prima Universe. However, it was still more than what an ordinary Primary Sun Domain powerhouse could perceive.
“I originally planned for us to hunt down eldritch monsters the moment we arrived, but since you won Chaos Stones and this place is rather isolated, I think it is best to begin our training immediately.”
Ezequiel nodded, and the next second, one used the Law of Earth to sink into the ground while the other adopted a phantasmagoric nature and descended, ignoring the earth in his path.
Once they were in the mountain range’s center, Ezequiel waved his hands, forming a cavern around them. Zatiel unleashed his Mind Force and engraved thousands of tiny runes in the walls, cloaking the Neo-Demons from even Supernova Domain life forms.
Both Neo-Demons emptied their minds and adopted a meditative position in the air as they began to engrave the Prima-Eldritch Universe Final Battlefield’s laws into their skins.
