Zatiel's heart may have become a little less cold after the experiences he lived in the Deep Dark Dream, but when it comes to his enemies, he was still a ruthless killing machine that could kill billions of them without hesitation.
If his wrath was powerful enough or his bottom line was crossed, he could even ignore age and perform massacres of race extinction levels.
Hades showed nothing when he saw the Neo-Demon total disregard for the life of the people in this world. His ability to kill hundreds of thousands of people without blinking an eye did not come from his coldness, but from the fact, he had lived billions of years and saw countless generations perish.
A human would not feel bad for crushing an insect that was going to die in a couple of hours of natural causes, so why would a Beings of Laws hesitate at the moment of killing a group of people whose lifespan was no different than a nap for them?.
The ancient Being of Laws clapped his hands and made a black dot appear between his palms. Hades threw it to the sky, and in a second, the back dot appeared right beneath the Crystal Wall.
The black dot that was the size of a child's fist morphed into massive black gates full of scars and skulls of all kinds of creatures. The gates were so immense that they were able to cover the sky above the Forness continent.
They slowly opened, revealing a tornado of dark and ancient energy that appeared to be able to swallow the world.
Luckily for the Beta Heavenly World, this tornado did not affect physical matter. What was drawn to it was the soul of almost every living being on the surface.
This was the might of a Being of Laws and the reason why they are feared and respected. Without any form of restriction, they could erase all life in a Middle World with a single spell. Even if the people were not unconscious, there was nothing they could do to resist.
The power, control over the laws, and deep magic knowledge in that spell could amaze almost anyone, but after staring at it for a second, Zatiel no longer bothered with it.
He had many things to do, and there was no time to waste. The Neo-Demon took a deep breath, and the next instant, pain could be seen in his face as his spine began to tremble, and protrusions that broke his skin appeared from it.
Slowly, the Pit Fiend's spine that he had fused with his vertebral column was expelled from his body.
Once the process was finished, the Neo-Demon felt uncomfortable, as if a piece of his body was missing. This was a normal reaction considering the devil's spine had been a part of him for several years.
Zatiel did not let those feelings bother him too much, and after seeing that the spine was in peak condition, he made it fly until it was right in front of Hades.
"I want you to transform this into a sword. I fight at close range and rely mostly on my speed and the destructive power of my flame."
Hades looked at Zatiel for a moment, and without saying a word, he nodded and began to inspect the spine. According to their deal, he needed to help the Neo-Demon, so the ancient Being of Laws had no problem fulfilling Zatiel's command.
Zatiel did not lose time supervising Hades' work since he was sure the ancient Being of Laws would disdain ruin the Pit Fiend's spine or doing a mediocre job.
In the Neo-Demon's mind, the Garden of Creation appeared, and he saw how the moon cocoons that contained the Angelic Paragon Bloodlines began to mature at an incredible speed. All those members of the Heavenly race that had their souls removed were releasing massive amounts of energy as their bloodlines were immolated.
The Garden of Creation absorbed that energy, and since the sun cocoon was empty, it was redirected to the moon cocoons.
'They will be useful to form the Bloodline Heart of Zitra and the others. Rax, Kylo, and all the other Neo-Demons can use them to improve their current bloodline after they advance. I wonder what will come out from the fusion of an Angelic Paragon Bloodline and Metallic Dragon Bloodline.'
After making sure everything was in order in the Garden of Creation, Zatiel made appear an orb that contained the True Soul of a frog-like creature with hundreds of spikes.
The creature had a ferocious appearance and looked at the Neo-Demon with eyes full of savagery. Zatiel showed nothing when he saw this, and he proceeded to touch the orb with his forehead and sent the True Soul of this monster to his soul dimension.
Confusion appeared in the monster's eyes when it realized it was released from its prison. But that mattered little, and although its power was severely weakened after losing its body, the creature was ready to wreak havoc.
Unfortunately, before it could even start to enjoy its freedom, a golden hand appeared out of nowhere and completely paralyzed it.
The creature could not even roar as it was totally suppressed. Things just got worse as the next second, a seed made of golden fire appeared in front of it.
The golden seed began to rotate faster and faster, and the creature look with horror as pieces of its True Soul was being devoured by it.
'With the suppression of my True Will, the True Soul of the Void Creature can not put up any resistance as the Genesis Sun Seed swallows it.' Zatiel left a part of his consciousness supervising the process before starting another project.
He took a piece of Star Heart from his space ring and melted it into grey liquid. Using this liquid, the Neo-Demon began to modify the Mirage Rune that was in his chest.
Zatiel did not seek to change the core function of the rune, only improve it. He was able to finish in less than an hour.
The next runes he made were more complicated and took him a lot more time. After six hours, two purple runes appeared in Zatiel's hands.
They contained the power of the Neo-Demon's bloodline in them, but their most distinctive feature was the sealing power they emanated.
'The World Mirage Rune should be powerful enough to count as a life-saving card even in that place. The Genesis Sun Seed is powerful enough now to be useful in a Rank 5 battle, and with these Sealing Runes, I will be able to fulfill my mission faster. The only thing that is missing is my sword.'
Zatiel stared at the ancient Being of Laws that sat in the air above the Underworld Forge and saw a white sword with a curved blade around ninety centimeters long. It was similar to the katanas that were present in the Neo-Demon's first world.
The sword was constantly absorbing massive quantities of natural energy from the surroundings. The runes that once covered every piece of Pit Fiend's spine were gone and what replaced them were three words written in an ancient language.
Zatiel was able to read them without a problem. The one close to the handle meant the first release, the one in the middle meant the second release, and the last one, which was close to the tip of the sword, meant full release.
Hades noticed the eyes of the Neo-Demon and sent the sword to him.
"The Pit Fiend's spine was a good Rank 5 material. I used all my knowledge about those devils and my best techniques to draw all of its power. This sword can be considered a Quasi-Rank 6 Artifact. The power of the flames that the sword can generate is divided into three levels.
Your energy pool is incredible for someone at Rank 4, but even though the sword will be able to reduce the burden by absorbing energy by itself, you will only be able to activate the first level with it. The power of the blue flames at this level can pierce the defenses of a Rank 5 life form at the 1st Engraving Stage.
If you are willing to drain your energy pool, Soul Origin, and the other two energies inside you, I think you could activate the second level for an instant. As for the third level, even if you are willing to use your life force as fuel, it is impossible to activate it with your current strength.
I was able to awake another ability in the sword by channeling the natural ability of devils to consume their brethren and demons. It can now absorb the blood and vitality of these two races and sent it to you, and it can also heal itself by consuming those creatures' bones.
If you bring me the soul of a Pit Fiend, I can improve it again."
Zatiel was satisfied with the power of the white sword, and he could see himself using it even after reaching Rank 5.
After nodding to the Ancient Being of Laws, Zatiel teleported and appeared right in front of a World Gate.
'I have finished my preparation. To fulfill my mission and due to the dangers of that place, I can't contain myself, as I did with Andras.' Zatiel's mind focused solely on his mission, and everything else disappeared as he went through the portal.
