Chapter 631: Fearless (V)
“If you want to watch, then do it in pieces!”
The amount of energy channeled into the Absolute Shattering Shield was more than any Rank 9 life form could contain inside them. Still, it was just enough to allow the white net, whose sole purpose was to defend, to unleash a monstrous offensive power.
Hundreds of thousands of threads coated in a burning milky white force arose from the Absolute Shattering Shield and attacked the evil Primarchs.
Those threads took Eligos, Lilet, and Jormundgander by surprise, especially as they felt their instincts screaming danger, which should only happen if they faced another Primarch. The first thing the burning threads did was to block their escape routes before attacking from every direction.
Jormundgander’s eyes narrowed. He immediately grabbed Eligos’ body and threw them with all his power away from the threads’ encirclement.
Eligos took advantage of the momentum and used all their energy to fly away from the white threads. Although deep cuts appeared all over their body, the Mind Ruler Primarch managed to escape without any significant injury.
Things could have gone much worse for the Mind Ruler Primarch if not for Jormundgander’s quick thinking. After all, Eligos had the weakest body, and soul invasion spells were useless against the Absolute Shattering Shield.
Jormundgander smiled as he saw that Eligos had escaped. He did not do that due to something so simple as friendship. It was simple: if the Mind Ruler Primarch suffered wounds too severe, he would find himself alone during future negotiations with Lilet, which he did not want to do.
One had to admit that despite the fiendish and brute appearance of Jormundgander, he was definitely someone very smart and wise.
Unfortunately, his ingenuity made a certain individual extremely angry. Jormundgander’s instincts screamed with even more strength as he felt a new killing intent targeting him, and it came from the Absolute Shattering Shield.
The NRAI usually handled the Absolute Shattering Shield, but things had changed as Hades was taking control now, which explained the amazing battle awareness and killing intent behind the threads.
Hades’ main target had been the Mind Ruler Primarch that dared to threaten the Neo-Demon Race, but now that was not possible, he directed his wrath on the reason for his failure.
Flaming threads traveling countless times faster than the speed of light attacked Jormundgander, even ignoring the Heavenly Primarch. Hades knew that taking down both of them was impossible, so he chose to focus all the power of the Absolute Shattering Shield on one.
Lilet could not be happier with the flaming threads’ behavior and used all her power to leave the Absolute Shattering Shield’s range as soon as possible.
On the other hand, Jormundgander used every iota of power to fly away, but more and more cuts appeared on his body as he advanced, with some of them so deep that they severed the bones.
Thanks to his incredibly powerful body and reserves, Jormundgander managed to escape from the threads, but not before losing his right arm!
Jormundgander’s eyes burned with fury as he saw that wound. As someone that tempered his body to an incredible level, the number of resources he would have to spend to regenerate the missing limb would be ridiculous.
That wrath grew stronger as the threads formed a cocoon around his severed arm before handing it over to Zatiel inside the realm.
Eligos and Lilet’s losses were much less, but that did not stop them from focusing on the Neo-Demon with hatred and killing intent.
Zatiel extended his hand and grabbed the white cocoon containing Jormundgander’s arm as he stared back at the evil Primarchs. His eyes were still empty of light and emotion, but their intent only grew more potent by the second.
Jormundgander and the other two evil Primarch saw how a new wave of energy began to channel into the Absolute Shattering Shield. Although they doubted such a massive structure’s offensive range could extend indefinitely, they were unwilling to test it and chose to teleport.
Zatiel’s eyes slowly regained their light as he saw the evil Primarchs go away. He then turned toward the cocoon, and all sorts of ideas crossed his mind.
In the entire Prima Universe, when it came to the physical center of power, Jormundgander could be considered second only to the Titan Primarch. A drop of his blood could thoroughly temper a Rank 7 life form’s body, and now Zatiel had an entire arm.
Of course, absorbing the arm was also extremely dangerous, as it could easily trigger powerful curses.
Although Zatiel could use his powers to purify the arm, that would erase most of its force and vitality, which would be counterproductive.
Luckily, Zatiel was the forefather not only of the Neo-Demon Race but of another race to whom curses were nothing but delicious food.
‘It is still not the time.’
The Neo-Demon made the cocoon teleport into the Neo-Demon Realm’s storage and turned toward the Primarchs.
“Follow me,” Zatiel said nothing else as he turned around and flew toward the White Sun along with Ezequiel.
Salomon’s eyes narrowed as he saw the Neo-Demon flying deeper into the realm. He saw the power of the white net, and unlike the evil Primarchs, they did not have the chance to run away if it targeted them.
Of course, the Immortal Primarch knew that the abilities of the white net lacked greatly in terms of dexterity. With the hundreds of worlds around them, it would be almost impossible to target them appropriately. Still, it was a danger he could not underestimate.
Unlike the Immortal Primarch, Issac had a wide smile on his face. That display of might made the words he spoke about Zatiel toward the Titan Primarch and Dragon Primarch carry a lot more weight.
Although the other two Primarchs of the Dark Tower Alliance felt that the smile of the Magus seemed a little pretentious, they had to admit that the young man that seemed not older than fourteen and whose soul force put him at Rank 7 was someone they needed to take seriously.
Both the Immortal Alliance and Dark Tower Alliance members followed after Zatiel, and they approached the White Sun.
