In the Beyond the Shackles Magi's eyes, curiosity appeared as they focused on the Astral Chaos Force sphere. Who was this child who could bring a Rank 8 life form as guardian and influence Ivar with just a few words?
Although they wished to know what they were discussing, of them even thought of spying on the Flawless.
For one, Ivar was possibly the strongest Beyond the Shackles existence in the Prima Universe, and there was no way they could escape his perception. Not to mention that their consciousness could not pierce that barrier of Astral Chaos Force.
The secret meeting did not last long as the Astral Chaos Force vanished in less than a minute, showing the trio. Ivar's gaze was solemn and cold as he glanced at the Neo-Demon, but this one acted as if nothing.
Ivar closed his eyes and took a deep breath as he waved his hand and made a nine-headed demonic dragon appear. The creature shocked both Magi and Gods since despite being obviously a puppet, its power was that of a Rank 9 life form!
Everybody was aware of the Flawless' superb Magic Creator skills. However, the fact he could create Rank 9 puppets was still impressive, especially considering that his cultivation limited his energy pool.
The nine-headed hydra moved on its own, positioning itself at the portal that separates Gods' Tomb halves.
"My Ninth Inferno Hydra will take my place for the meantime. I will return soon." Ivar said nothing else before vanishing.
The Magi used their perception to follow his trail and found out he headed toward the Prima-Eldritch Universe Final Battlefield.
Seeing the Flawless leave like that for the final battlefield without any explanation after speaking for less than a minute with that child made the Rank 8 Magi's curiosity explode.
However, before any of them could even speak a word with him, the child flashed toward the Crystal Wall and entered Gods' Tomb.
Zatiel's soul force put him at Limit Rank 6, and although his aura would make it impossible for him to enter any High World, Gods' Tomb allowed anyone beneath Rank 8, so there was no problem.
Hades could have also entered the Transitional Plane, but that would force him to suppress his power during every fight, so he chose to remain in the void and focused on deciphering the mysteries of the universe.
As soon as the Neo-Demon entered Gods' Tomb, he used his eyes to locate the closest Gods' Stronghold and flashed toward it.
The aloof attitude caused some annoyance in the Magi. They were Beyond the Shackles existences belonging to a Principal World of the Prima Universe under the lead of the mighty Magus Primarch.
Even Law Overlords would show them some respect due to their background, but neither the child nor the nobleman bothered to present themselves.
"He must be Zatiel Daybreak." The one who spoke those words was the largest Rank 8 Magi, the Frozen Monster Heart's founder.
That name did not ring a bell for any of the Magi present. Although Zatiel was very famous inside the Magi World, they were all mighty Beyond the Shackles existences and did not care about mundane matters.
Not to mention that Zatiel appeared less than two thousand years ago. For life forms like them, that time frame was just what they would spend in an experiment or training session.
Of course, due to their organization, it did not take long for them to find out every movement Zatiel made inside the Magi World.
"A Being of Laws that transmigrated into our Magi World." It was the woman with a flaming crown, the Burning Heart School's founder, the one speaking this time.
"It seems that he had a deep relationship with the Scientia Kingdom and also the Aeternum Empire. There is also a bond between him and the child that Eve is so fond of. Oh, Zaurok, due to him, some of your descendants perished. No wonder you were the first to recognize him."
The frost giant, Zaurok, nodded to the words of the woman.
"Yes, for a moment, I thought there was one of my fallen enemies who targeted my organization, but it turns out we have no relation at all. It was all due to those stupid brats targeting that man's people. There is nothing I can do if they want to commit suicide." Zaurok showed no anger or ill will in his voice, and it seemed he honestly did not care about those deaths.
None of the Magi found the man's behavior strange. After all, they have lived for a very long time, and their families have sprouted for countless generations, so there was no way they would care for every one of them.
"At first, he was categorized as fallen Void Creator for my intelligence agency. That is why I was not informed about it." The Rank 8 Magi that resembled an overweight demon made a pause as he looked at Hades. "But it is obvious his identity is not that simple."
Although Void Creators were powerful enough to travel the void without wondering if they would die at any second, they could not pose any threat to a Beyond the Shackles existence. That is why of the Magi cared about Zatiel before.
Now, on the other hand, every single one of them put their complete focus on the child who flashed through Gods' Tomb sky.
It did not take long for Zatiel to approach the Valefor Continent, one dominated by Gods and had an impressive Magic Castle in its core.
Around the castle, there were five golden giants with their eyes closed. Unless they were in use, a God would usually leave their Divine Avatar in a state of hibernation to save energy.
But the moment they detected the child, each one of them made their energy explode and rose to the sky. They all saw how the ice Divine Avatar dissolved into dust particles, so they could not give themselves the luxury of underestimating their opponent just because of his weak soul force.
Although they did their best to hide it, there was some trepidation in the Divine Avatars' eyes. The child was definitely powerful with extremely bizarre abilities, and if they were fighting him in the void, there was no way they could defeat him.
Luckily, their Magic Castle's influence extended all over the Valefor Continent, augmenting their power and weakening the enemy's.
Zatiel could see the invisible force field originating from the Magic Castle that extended all over the continent, but that did nothing to diminish his speed. He just kept coming closer to the Divine Avatars.
The Neo-Demon's cognitive abilities were so incredible that even when he engraved runes after runes inside Hades, he still had time to analyze his battle style and generate unique spells that would fully express the might of his soul and body.
He did not enter Gods' Tomb to help the Void Creator Magi defeat the Gods but simply tested his new abilities.
The closer the Neo-Demon became, the more pressure the Divine Avatars felt. It reached a point in which the group leader, a golden giant bathed in lightning, pointed his hand toward the Magic Castle, making the structure glow.
Immediately, each Divine Avatar obtained an even more tremendous boost to their battle power, with the weaker reaching the Initial Rudimentary Form Stage and the strongest Limit Rank 7.
The other four golden giants turned toward their leader once he did that. He was overcharging the Magic Castle's magic matrix, reducing its useful life. It would be up to them to fix the castle after the fight, which would be extremely expensive.
Still, of them complained and merely nodded to the man. The five Divine Avatars cost the same as a Rank 7 Magic Castle, so it was better to go all out from the beginning.
The Divine Avatars waited for the child to enter the continent. Now that they have decided to overload the Magic Castle, the force field's power should diminish the enemy's battle power for at least an entire stage.
Zatiel had just crossed into the Valefor Continent as an invisible force struck him. Still, just as Magic Castle's force field was about to push his battle power down, the eye on his forehead began to glow with a sky-golden light.
"Eros Eye: Sacred King Battleform."
Eros, the Instinct of Life. It was the will to live, a spiritual drive that every sentient life manifests as they embark on their paths.
That was the new name of Zatiel Daybreak's evolved Eye of Life and Creation.
