Chapter 629: Fearless (III)
Lilet's eyes grew cold as a blast of monstrous killing intent emerged from her. How could the Heavenly Primarch allow someone she considered nothing more than a farm animal to talk to her that way?
However, before the Heavenly Primarch would lose her mind and release a barrage of spells against the white net, Eligos took a step forward and focused on the Neo-Demon.
Zatiel stared back at the Mind Ruler Primarch and did not bother to put any form of defense. He even smiled at Eligos, but his empty eyes did not change.
Suddenly, the Absolute Shattering Shield trembled for an instant, and blood appeared in the corner of Eligos' mouth.
All the Primarchs understood what happened. The Mind Ruler Primarch fired an invisible yet potent soul invasion spell at Zatiel. Not only did the Absolute Shattering Shield block it, but Eligos also endured a fierce backlash.
How could the Absolute Shattering Shield meant to protect the Neo-Demon Realm have such an obvious flaw as to allow soul invasion spells to pierce it?
Eligos expected his attack to fail, and that is why he did not put all their power into it. Otherwise, the backlash would have been much worse.
Despite the blood in his mouth, the Mind Ruler Primarch only smiled toward Zatiel.
"I admit that you are talented, and while this white net is no different than an impenetrable shield, it is also a cage from which you will never escape. We are Primarch, existences that will live until the dawn of time. Do you really believe an insignificant Rank 7 life form can endure our wrath?"
The other Primarchs had to accept the truth behind Eligos' words. Once Zatiel left the realm, the evil Primarchs would hunt him down, and there was no way he could survive that.
"First of all, why should I leave? My power and potential are already high enough to achieve Rank 9 without further tempering. Once I reach the Eternal Detachment Rank, I am confident that none of you will be a threat to me."
Zatiel's words may sound arrogant, especially considering how hard it was to jump levels in battle power at Rank 9, but he was confident in his strength.
Of course, none of the evil Primarchs believed that he could achieve such an impossible feat, but that did not matter to the Neo-Demon.
"And by the way, calling yourself undying is a little arrogant. The Overgod was also a Primarch, but her world is gone right now, and she suffered a fate worse than death. If I pushed the woman into that hell, why wouldn't I be able to do the same with your three?"
A somber expression appeared in the evil Primarchs when they heard those words. Since the Cataclysmic War, no Principal World had ever fallen, but now one of them did. Even if the Overgod was the weakest among them, she was still a Primarch, so her demise reminded them of their mortality.
"Hmph, Ivar the Flawless was responsible for the destruction of the Divinity World and the Overgod's fall. You were nothing but one of the countless pawns that helped nurture that Transitional Plane." Jormundgander smeared and belittled the Neo-Demon. Regardless of how many people Zatiel killed inside Gods' Tomb, declaring he made a difference in the outcome of the war between the Magi World and Divinity World sounded laughable in the Leviathan Primarch's mind.
However, all that disdain and arrogance vanished the next second after the Magus Primarch spoke.
"Ivar was indeed the destroyer of the Divinity World. But that man was responsible for forcing all the Gods, even the Overgod, into their Divine Kingdoms where he sealed them."
Issac would have preferred for that information to remain a secret, as Zatiel's power was not high enough yet. He even made sure that all those Rank 8 Magi that saw the battle remained silent. But the cat was already out of the bag, so there was no point in hiding it.
Silence reigned through the void as the Primarchs heard Issac's words. They knew the Magus Primarch would not lie with something they could easily find out.
None of them would be able to achieve such a feat on their own, but Zatiel did it, and he was just a Rank 7 life form. What would the Neo-Demon be capable of if he was allowed to grow!?
That thought made the evil Primarchs' eyes grow colder, and even mightier killing intent emerged from them. The Neo-Demon already made his hatred clear. How could they allow him to live?
Zatiel knew that his talent would provoke such a reaction in the evil Primarchs, but it was time to show his might since things had escalated to this point. He was ready to go all out and expand his influence to every corner of the Prima Universe.
"Oh, and finally. About whether or not I can endure the wrath of you three. I can't die."
Most of the Primarchs could not help but find those last words extremely odd. Zatiel had just rebuked Eligos for stating their indestructibility, yet he was now doing the same.
However, one of the Primarchs reacted differently than the others. Issac could not hide the awe that assaulted him. His Omega Law allowed him to see beyond any falsehood, even if the one that spoke it believed it.
That is why the Neo-Demon's words caused such a shock. That last statement was the truth.
Zatiel was not lying, but things were not so simple either.
REX SAMSARA UNIVERSALIS CAUSALITAX.
That was the mightiest True Name in existence, and it gave birth to a bloodline that defied the laws of the multiverse. It grew alongside Zatiel, and now that the Neo-Demon became an entity at the Law Realm, its powers obtained a qualitative enhancement.
Zatiel was sure that even if an enemy erased his will, soul, and body, the True Name would remain and bring him back to life.
Nevertheless, there was a significant setback there. The last time the True Name brought him back, it performed a samsara reincarnation with the pieces of his True Will, True Soul, and True Doomsday Body. That allowed the Neo-Demon's memories and personality to remain intact.
If they were lost, and the True Name brought him back to life, Zatiel may very well be someone completely different.. That was not something he was willing to test.
