Hades spent most of his days meditating above the Underworld Forge, using the artifact to recover the pieces of his existence scattered throughout the universe. He opened his eyes when Zatiel spoke to him and analyzed the materials in front of him.
The ancient Being of Laws' face showed a little surprise when he saw the Rank 6 Pit Fiend's corpse. He could see the evident fight marks all around the body, meaning it died recently and after a great battle.
Although he was surprised the Neo-Demon brought such a powerful corpse to him, it did not matter to him, and he also knew it did not matter to Zatiel.
Other beings may find killing a Rank 6 life form while being at Rank 4 a once-in-a-lifetime feat, but entities like The Truth Meaning of Death and the Incarnation of Death and Destruction knew it was a meaningless achievement in the grand scheme of things.
"With half of the Primordial Essence in the pearl and the Pit Fiend's sternum, I can transform the bone sword into a Late Rank 6 Artifact. What kind of weapon do you want me to create with the rest?"
The fact the Darkness Poison Duke's corpse was a mess did not bother Hades. His knowledge about Magic Creation was boundless, and fixing a Rank 6 material was a child's game for him.
"I need eighty-one daggers. They must be able to harmonize perfectly with Mind Force, have their own miniature energy pools, and the ability to fuse with souls. I will inscribe a runic formation in them, so make sure the magic matrices are inside the weapons and not on their surface."
Zatiel's requirements for the dagger were not only plenty but also highly complicated. While a Pit Fiend's corpse and Primordial Essence were the suitable materials, thanks to that species's incredible adaptability, they were tough to manipulate.
Even a Peak Rank 6 Magic Creator would find the task almost impossible, but Hades nodded immediately.
"My current cognitive abilities are equal to a Peak Rank 7 life form, so I will need some time to finish the task."
The Ancient Being of Laws was one hundred percent sure of his success. The only thing Zatiel needed to worry about was the time it would take for him to finish.
"Speak out loud when you have finished, and I will come for the weapons." Zatiel did not have a problem waiting since he could not fight in his current condition due to the pressure the new Apocalyptic Star generated in his body.
After handing over the bone sword, corpse, and pearl to Hades, Zatiel used the NRAI and teleported to the void.
The Neo-Demon took a deep breath before raising his arm. His palm took the form of a blade, and the next second, the Eye of Death and Destruction began to glow.
Now that his True Soul reached Rank 5, and he created his Inner Law Dimension, Zatiel's soul force was powerful enough to mobilize the Antimatter inside the left eye.
A black electromagnetic force with a red edge covered his hand. Space shattered around it, and time acted erratically.
Zatiel activated his Darkness Constitution, creating a mantle of darkness that consumed the energy around him.
He channeled his energy, Rebirth Force, Soul Origin, and Astral Origin into the hand. Once he could not hold in more, he focused on a Low World's Crystal Wall and waved the arm down.
A giant arc of energy with a core of Antimatter emerged from the Neo-Demon's arms. It eradicated the elemental chaos in its path until reaching the Crystal Wall.
A Low World's Crystal Wall could withstand attacks from a Rank 7 life form, so Zatiel knew his attack would not harm the world in any way.
The Rebirth Eye focused on the arc of energy that lasted ten seconds before dispersing.
The Crystal Wall seemed intact, but the Neo-Demon smiled since he saw how the arc had managed to pierce ten centimeters in it.
Of course, that damage was insignificant, and the Crystal Wall healed immediately, but it proved the Neo-Demon's offensive might could reach the peak of the Hollow Sun Domain Stage if he used Antimatter.
Unfortunately, Zatiel did not smile for long. His body began to tremble after the attack, and he coughed blood.
'I tried to be gentle, but even this simple attack caused a severe backlash. I need to enter seclusion until my body is powerful enough to handle the stress of my fourth Apocalyptic Star.'
Zatiel's breathing was rough, and he found it hard to move his body. As he felt the condition of his body, an idea appeared in his mind.
He focused on the golden force with a white core inside the Eye of Life and Creation and mobilized it through his body.
Despite this force being the essence of life and creation, it did nothing to the Neo-Demon's damaged body.
A peculiar light appeared in Zatiel's eyes, and he returned the golden force to the third eye before ordering the NRAI to teleport him.
Zatiel appeared at the top of an extensive mountain range. He mobilized the golden force into his palm before placing it on the highest mountain's surface.
Unlike when it touched his body, the moment the golden force got in contact with the mountain, it immediately fused with it.
The mountain began to tremble, and the world's natural energy began to pour into it.
A wide smile appeared on the Neo-Demon's face when the Rebirth Eye showed him how the mountain showed the first sign of birthing a spirit.
All things in the universe can form a soul and gain wisdom. A tree could develop consciousness, become a monster, and cultivate until it reached the peak of the universe. Even a rock could gain spirituality after experiencing countless coincidences and spend millions of years bathed in natural energy and Origin Power.
The golden force inside Zatiel's Eye of Life and Creation did not heal life. Its purpose was to act as the origin of life!
The Neo-Demon knew its name and began to laugh as excitement appeared in his eyes.
'My Eye of Life and Creation can produce Genesis Drive!'
Granting spirituality in things may not seem very helpful in battle, but the Neo-Demon had already thought of the perfect use, and he was sure it would be amazing.
'Genesis Drive and Antimatter. One represents the beginning of everything and the other the absolute end. Once I achieve duality with these powers, I will be one step closer to a path that will allow my existence to stand equal to the entire Prima Universe!'
The thrill in Zatiel's eyes only grew as he thought of the potential inside him. With each step he took forward, he felt more and more confident in surpassing his previous self.
The Neo-Demon soon calmed down and analyzed the condition of his third and left eye. The Antimatter and Genesis Drive were replenishing but at a very low speed.
'It seems I can use them once per battle. Things may change when I form Creation and Destruction Essence.'
Now that he had finished analyzing his current power, the Neo-Demon began to think of ways to improve it.
His talent already reached the absolute peak of the universe, and he possessed a battle power that allowed him to jump more than an entire Rank.
However, there was no such thing as "good enough" in Zatiel's mind. He could always improve.
'Now that I formed my Inner Law Dimension, I can finally train a Beyond Prima Omega Art.'
