The name of the Heavenly race's Soul Forging existence with crystal wings was Vapula. She was a general and disciple of the Soul Law Domain Angelic Paragon, Gonzo. Despite not having a title like Tomas and Oliver, her status was greater than both dukes since she was born in the Heavenly Creator World and not in a satellite world.
Her battle power was terrifying since not only her bloodline and talent were amazing, she has had all kinds of Path Techniques and miraculous drugs at her disposal since she was born. That, plus the guidance of a Rank 6 life form, made her unmatched in all the Middle and Low Worlds she fought in.
Vapula had commanded armies in many world invasions and had always fought in numerical disadvantage, using her race bloodline, better equipment, and knowledge to defeat the enemy.
When she arrived in this world and understood the events that led to the victory of the Magi invader force and the establishment of the Ten Tower Formation, Vapula immediately rebuked the dukes and did not make the smallest effort to hide her disdain.
The Angelic Paragon could not understand how they lost so badly when they were the defending party and outnumbered the enemy almost five to one. Vapula was certain that the next battle would end up in their absolute victory.
Unfortunately for her, the outcome was the complete opposite. The Everlasting Snake Runic Set was shattered and she had lost more than one-third of the forty thousand warriors under her command as well as over half of those who had the Origin Runic Set engraved in them.
Even with her experience, she did not understand how things could have gone so wrong. But that changed when Tomas and Oliver shared with her a shocking piece of news.
The man that gave the order to butcher thousands of her people even after she told him to stop and threatened Oliver with a future worse than death, Zatiel Daybreak, was a Taboo Existence.
Vapula was surprised that the duo even knew that title, after all, the only reason she recognizes it was due to her master and it was normal for even Rank 5 life form from high worlds to not know it.
The duo explained to her that they got the information from a man who wanted to ally with them against Zatiel and that he was an enemy of his past life, the Sage. Even though Vapula disdained the act of interacting with animals, she was able to accept it in this case since if what they say is true, then her opponent was an incredibly difficult foe.
Taboo Existences were beings that could break the balance of any war in a Middle or Low World. It referred to those whose true identity was that of a Soul Law Domain life form that was forced to reincarnate.
A Rank 6 life form could live hundreds of thousands of years, and if they had domain over laws like the Law of Life or the Law of Death, then they could easily live more than one million years.
They are beings who had the power to destroy moons with their bare hands and shatter the sky. They would not allow their souls to dissipate just because their life spans were coming to an end, so they would normally use all kinds of arcane magic to undergo rebirth and start over.
The reason why their title had the word taboo, was because most Rank 6 life forms forbid to talk about anything related to them. This was a tactical agreement between Soul Law Domain existences since none of them knew if they would be the next ones to be forced to reincarnate and start all over again as a weak life form.
Although many Rank 6 life forms would attempt to take this path at the end of their lives, the amount that truly manages to reincarnate is beneath 0.1%. Most end up fused with the Eternal River of the Afterlife and cease to exist.
The Sage had given them a plan as well many diagrams for powerful tools useful for the task and when Tomas and Oliver showed them to her, Vapula felt conflicted.
She despised from the bottom of her soul every life form that was not a member of the Heavenly race but the plan of the Sage was impeccable and she could not think of a way to improve it, so in the end, they went with it.
He also advised them to use the Mirror of Falsehood. That was a powerful artifact of the Heavenly race and to activate not only it needed an immense amount of magic crystals but also sacrifice tens of millions of souls.
Neither Vapula nor the dukes cared too much about the souls since the world was full of "beasts" they could sacrifice but the number of magic crystals it consumed was enough to buy a Rank 6 artifact.
In the end, Vapula accepted the Sage's advice since Taboo Existences were known to be extremely cunning and difficult to kill.
The Mirror of Falsehood allows the user to see the true nature of an individual, so they were sure that the man that appeared with the army was Zatiel.
The plan went without a major problem at the beginning and even though Heinz had managed to avoid being suppressed by the black gas, Vapula knew that it would be useless since Zatiel would be teleported away.
When she saw Zatiel disappear, she could not help but felt ecstatic in her heart. Only the most impressive Rank 6 life forms can successfully reincarnate and their knowledge was something she could not even fantom. Vapula's was sure that without Zatiel, the Magi invader force would eventually crumble apart, especially after she attacked their weak points using the information she would get.
What they should have done according to the plan was to leave the force field, and then she and Tomas would face the enraged Cultivator. She was confident in her power and with the help of the duke, she was sure they wouldn't only be able to hold on against Heinz, maybe they could defeat him.
In case Heinz managed to find out the location of Zatiel and went after him, the plan of the Sage also covered that. Vapula admitted that the man had planned for any possible contingency.
But the impossible happened.
Heinz's wrath and pain acted as a catalyst and helped his Dao Heart to push his comprehension over the Law of Killing to the 'Minor Completion' level.
The Cultivator's battle power reached a whole new level, after all, he could now communicate with the Law of Killing in the entire world and borrow its strength. She knew that is only one of the many benefits that reaching that level would grant him.
He killed a life form with an Emperor bloodline with a single word, and although the man was a new Rank 4 life form and had just started to temper his True Soul, it was still an amazing feat. Heinz then destroyed the black gas and freed his comrades, not without killing four Angels of Supremacy and wounding many others in the process.
When Vapula saw him disappear, she knew perfectly well where he headed and her eyes filled with hesitation. Heinz's power was too shocking and even a true Rank 5 life form would have to be very careful when he faced him.
'If we were in the void or inside a High World, then going against him would be suicide, but here things different. His power is high enough to devastate this continent with a single attack and the World Consciousness will expel him in a matter of seconds. We can still win.' Whether it was due to pride or courage, she had decided to go against Heinz.
'Tomas, let's go after him, we need to make sure Vermeil escapes this continent with the Taboo Existence. Oliver, maintain the Magi at bay for ten minutes, then retreat, remember they cannot leave before that' Vapula finished speaking and then took a black crystal from her personal storage space and shattered it which made her disappear.
Tomas' eyes twitched when he saw the woman leave and black tendrils so thin that they were invisible appeared on the duke's eyes before he also used a black crystal and went after Heinz.
When the Magi saw the disappearance of the two most powerful enemies, smiles appeared on their faces and they attacked with everything they had.
Zitra, Totto, and Nero were the most brutal of all. Their attacks were filled with murdering intent. They had to get rid of the members of the Heavenly race and then go where Zatiel was to help him.
