The moment Zatiel heard Gwyn's words, his eyes narrowed. The Neo-Demon understood the nature of Beings of Laws very well. No matter how great the tension or animosity between the two organizations became, they would never start a fight over it.
Beings of Laws would join the dispute when the conflict between two organizations reached its peak, and even then, it would be weird if they truly fight.
That unspoken rule existed not only because Beings of Laws were arrogant and prideful entities who would rarely do anything for anyone else. Losing a single Rank 7 life form would do more damage to an organization than losing an entire army.
A Rank 7 life form was worth more than any amount of Rank 5 or Rank 4 individuals. As for Soul Law Domain existences, other than the unique ones that could push their battle power to the Void Stage, they were also of little value in comparison.
A Rank 7 life form could make an individual go from Rank 0 to Rank 6 in a single day if they were willing to pay a tremendous price. The people that grew stronger that way would be bound to that Rank forever, and their battle power would be mediocre, but it was still an impressive feat.
Gwyn understood Zatiel's questioning gaze and looked in the direction of the void before concentrating his energy pool and full power into his bloodline eyes.
"Before I continue, watch the battle beyond the Crystal Wall."
Zatiel nodded, and his Elemental Chaos began to concentrate in his Rebirth Eye. His vision grew more powerful, and he could see the void near the Magi World.
The first thing he noticed were hundreds of explosions happening each second. Each of them released shock waves dozens of times more potent than those created by the battle between the Blood Duke and the other two Rank 6 Devil Lords.
If those explosions happened next to a Low World, the World Consciousness would have to interfere to ensure its safety. However, to a Principal World's Crystal Wall, those shock waves carrying oceans of energy did little to no damage.
It was only after using his unique Mind Force to enhance his Rebirth Eye and perception that Zatiel could see the individuals responsible for the explosions.
One was a monster made of shadows and howling spirits, with a body that resembled an elongated whale. Its head, whose size could equal a moon, was nothing but hundreds of large and vicious teeth.
The opponent of this world-size monster was a giant faceless humanoid creature. It had hundreds of tentacles coming from where its arms and legs should be, and they all ended up in giant eyes.
Despite the colossal size of these two creatures, they moved with astonishing speed and incredible agility.
The humanoid Being of Laws fired beams of elemental energy from his eyes, and sometimes he used the tentacles like whips to inflict physical damage.
The shadow Being of Law continuously attempted to ram its opponent. It could divide its body into minor incarnations, allowing it to attack from every angle and fire blast of ghostly energy.
Even though the Neo-Demon was able to catch a glimpse of their bodies, he only saw afterimages since they were moving too fast.
The battle between these Rank 7 life forms did not shock Zatiel. After all, he was the protagonist of a war that involved the Nine Hells of Baator and the Infinite Layers of Abyss, two planes so infinitely large and full of life that they could be considered a universe on their own.
However, it was still a fantastic sight since everything else was just memories.
As the Neo-Demon focused on the Rank 7 battle in the void, Gwyn's voice reached him.
"The one made of shadows is the Nightmare Devourer Snake-Whale, a Rank 7 life form from the Aeternum Empire. The man with the tentacles comes from the Eye Dynasty and is known as the Elemental Eye of Chaos."
Gwyn told him the titles of these Beings of Laws, and the Neo-Demon did not bother asking their real names since he was almost certain that the Eye Holder did not know them.
As Being of Laws grew older and the people they met in their life either die or ascend, their names are forgotten. That is why most people only refer to them by their titles.
"Everything started when these Rank 7 life forms entered an ancient ruin in search of resources and to improve their strength around eight hundred years ago. They have worked together in the past and formed some form of friendship.
At first, everything went well, but a few decades ago, everything changed.
The Eye of Elemental Chaos had managed to dig out a unique treasure after risking his life and entering the ruins' core.
I have no idea what that treasure is, but it must be incredibly valuable since the Nightmare Devourer Snake-Whale did not hesitate to break their bond, ambush our Being of Laws, and steal it.
The Rank 7 life form from the Aeternum Empire took advantage of the Eye of Elemental Chaos' weakened state to leave him trapped in the ancient ruins. Unfortunately for the Nightmare Devourer Snake-Whale, he was severely injured and had to rest for a long time before traveling back to the Magi World.
The news of the Nightmare Devourer Snake-Whale's immoral behavior reached the Eye Dynasty a few years after their battle. That was what sparked the conflict between the organizations.
The Eye of Elemental Chaos freed himself from his captivity just as the Nightmare Devourer Snake-Whale had finished healing his wounds. The battle started a few weeks ago as they traveled through the void, and it finally reached the Magi World."
After hearing Gwyn's tale, everything became more clear for the Neo-Demon. Of course, he did not fully believe it. It was not that he thought the Eye Holder was lying to him, but the Eye Dynasty should have modified the information he received to help their side.
'So all of this started because of greed. Well, it is the force behind most stories of betrayal, so I should not be surprised.' Zatiel was sure that if neither of the Rank 7 life forms managed to overwhelm the other in this battle, a war would start.
None of them would be willing to risk their lives in a fight to the death, so they would force the organizations beneath them to fight for them.
The bloodshed would be immense if a war between the Eye Dynasty and the Aeternum Empire began, but to immortal entities whose idea of a nap was equal to the lifespan of a Rank 5 life form, that did not matter.
'The two sides are ready to make a demonstration of power immediately if a war starts. The City of the Sun and the Daybreak Magic Tower will not survive.' An annoyed expression appeared on Zatiel's face, but the next moment, he shrugged his shoulders.
'There is not much I can do, but they are just material things that I can rebuild with ease. Besides, this war would be a good opportunity for me.' Zatiel's eyes shone as he thought of the profits he could obtain from a war between the dynasty and the empire.
He did not care who would win, since no matter how horrible the war becomes or how many people died, as long the Beings of Laws behind them remain strong, the organizations would never fall.
The Neo-Demon's mind was devising hundreds of plans and strategies when he noticed that the Eye of Elemental Chaos and the Nightmare Devourer Snake-Whale were about to unleash their ultimate move.
The Rank 7 life forms stood away from each other as they charged their spells.
In front of the Eye of Elemental Chaos, an enormous sphere made of fire, wood, wind, gold, and water forces appeared.
The Nightmare Devourer Snake-Whale roared as an energy beam composed of evil spirits was charging inside his stomach and was about to be fired.
If there were still no clear winner after this clash, a war between the Aeternum Empire and the Eye Dynasty would begin immediately!.
While the Rank 5 and 6 life forms on both sides had a solemn expression on their faces, two individuals were smiling.
Zatiel and Gwyn made no effort to hide their desire for battle, and their energies were ready to explode at any moment. The funny thing was that while they were on opposite sides, neither got away from the other.
There was a silent agreement between the Neo-Demon and Eye Holder.
Under the watch of the two great organizations that controlled most of the Magi World's surface, the Eye of Elemental Chaos and the Nightmare Devourer Snake-Whale fired their attacks.
Just as these world-destroyer spells that covered millions of kilometers were about to collide and release a blast of destruction that would break space and time, a man appeared between them!
