"How predictable"
The Overgod's eyes narrowed as she focused on the Neo-Demon, but she did not even bother to speak to him. How could she, the God Primarch, waste her breath with a Rank 6 life form?
"No wonder the King in Yellow tricked you into becoming his slave."
"Say another word, and I will burn your soul!" All of the Overgod's grace and holiness vanished as she roared like an enraged animal.
Not only was the Neo-Demon revealing the most shameful secret that affected her entire world, but he also mentioned the man she hated more than anyone else in the universe.
She had lived for billions of years and experienced all kinds of turmoil in her path. It reached the point she truly believed herself to be impervious to anything. One could only imagine the impact falling into the hands of the King in Yellow would have on someone so sure of her superiority over everything.
Ivar and Issac were surprised by the Overgod's unrestrained rage. They were sure those were not empty words. If Zatiel said something else, she would be ready to ignore the consequences and attack without mercy.
Both were hoping Zatiel would be careful with his words, at least until they manage to restrict the Rank 8 Magi. Sadly the Neo-Demon did not fail to surprise them.
"Hahahaha, stupid eldritch's bitch."
Issac, the Truth of the Universe, the man who broke out the shackles of fear and faced the mighty Flame Imperator. Calling him brave would be an understatement, but even he could not believe there was someone so batshit crazy as to call the Overgod an eldritch's bitch.
'Who the hell is this madman!?'
Usually, Issac would not pay Being of Laws that managed to transmigrate into the Magi World any attention after they passed the test that discarded any nefarious intention. He was a Primarch, and even a standard Rank 8 life form would fail to stir his heart, much less someone he believed to be a Void Creator.
However, as Zatiel Daybreak's tale grew more amazing and his involvement with the Scientia Kingdom deepened, Issac did some research.
To someone like Issac, manipulating time to see the past in his own world was easy, so there was nothing the Neo-Demon did inside the Magi World that he did not know.
He even saw how Zatiel used Abyss Aura to create the Chaotic Core. While the process was interesting, what Issac saw was just a change in the Neo-Demon's energy pool and some physical improvement, none of which mattered to him.
Of course, things would have been much different had he known the true evolutive power of the Chaotic Core.
The things that did provoke a reaction in the Magi World's Leader were how Zatiel summoned a Second-Order Law Bloodline from Abyss and the response toward the tale of the Incarnation of Death and Destruction.
A train of thought originated in Issac's mind, and the more he learned, the more solid it became. Zatiel returned to the Magi World at Rank 4 with a new bloodline that contained the Law of Death, Destruction, and Soul powers. That, along with the unbelievable high talent displayed in Gods' Tomb during the fight against the Divinity World's Champion, strengthened the idea.
Just how many supreme Beings of Laws vanished from the Prima Universe and had a connection with Abyss and the Laws of Death, Destruction, and Soul? There were definitely not that many.
However, one thing always bothered Issac and made it that he could not entirely match Zatiel Daybreak with the Incarnation of Death and Destruction.
Due to his Omega Law, he could see beyond any form of deception or lie, no matter whether it came from someone speaking directly to him or in a recording of previous events.
Issac saw the Neo-Demon creating a bond of love and brotherhood, trusting people with his life without hesitation. When the Dragonstone Kingdom stole a baby, the Magus saw the unhinged rage coming from Zatiel and how he would not stop at anything to recover that child he had never seen before.
Someone willing to risk his life for a child of his clan with whom he had no direct relation at all could not be the same Archdemon capable of erasing worlds.
In the end, Issac decided not to push things further. Regardless of Zatiel's past, he was now someone who cherished brotherhood and his people, so there was no way he would turn against the Prima Universe. That is enough for the Magus Primarch.
While Issac was going through all those thoughts in his mind again, a silent moment appeared in the void as no party could believe what they had just heard.
Only when the Overgod's killing intent exploded did time seem to renew. Issac and Ivar adopted a solemn expression as the Rank 8 Magi glanced at each other.
However, before any party could make their move, an immense amount of energy manifested around Zatiel. Not only did it come from nowhere, but its potency told the Magi and Gods that it was a Rank 9 Spell!
Both sides adopted an extremely solemn attitude and pushed their perception to the limits as they attempted to find the newcomer. A Law Overlord, even if they were at the first stage, was someone that could drastically change the outcome of this stalemate.
The problem not only resided in that person hiding very well to the point that even the Overgod and Issac could not find him, but that they did not know their intentions. Luckily for the Magi and not so much for the Gods, the spell told them everything they needed to know.
An azure crystal dodecahedron with the power of the Space-Time Laws formed around Zatiel and Hades. It provoked a smile in Issac and Ivar while making the Overgod's eyes burn with rage.
The dodecahedron was a simple yet very effective ancient spell named Space-Time Heaven. It generated a shield around the targets, and it could directly teleport them to a predetermined location the moment they chose to.
A Primarch like the Overlord would only need a fraction of a second to break the shield, but that would be more than enough for Zatiel to trigger the teleportation effect of the spell. As for the Rank 8 Magi, maybe it would take them ten seconds if they all worked together.
Seeing that it would be impossible for them to kill Zatiel and collect the favor of the Overgod, they made it as if nothing had happened. While Issac surely noticed their intentions, since they did not act, they were confident that the Rank 9 Magus would be tolerant and let it slide. After all, he could not kill all of them just for the thought in their heads, right?
The Rank 8 Magi assessment was correct, and Issac would not drop all pretenses with them in a state where the Prima Universe needed powerful warriors the most. That was not to say the Magus Primarch would not punish them for their insolence, but that would be at closed doors.
Sadly for the Rank 8 Magi, the one they should truly be worried about was not so forgiving.. A sense of utter dread assaulted them as Zatiel smiled at them.
