"Tyrannos Daybreak."
Bael's eyes narrowed as he heard that name, and his soul's killing intent grew even more potent. The Heavenly Race may not care about other life forms and enjoy their suffering, but what made them different from Demons and Devils was that they love their brethren.
Over the last two thousand years, the number of worlds dominated by the Heavenly Race that faced invasion skyrocketed. That resulted in trillions of them perishing.
In the beginning, although Bael found it odd, he did not believe that someone was targeting them. After all, they were the Heavenly Race, and there should be no one in the Prima Universe crazy enough to infuriate them.
Nevertheless, the rise of the Neo-Demon Race made everything clear. The responsibility for all those deaths fell on none other than Zatiel Daybreak.
Epoch Zero was aware of Zatiel Daybreak's fame thanks to his grandfathers. He did not know much but was aware that Tyrannos Daybreak would mark for extermination anyone who failed to follow his codes and rules.
If Zatiel Daybreak considered you worthy, you and your people would rise without end. He proved that with Legacy and all those geniuses from forgotten worlds now under the Neo-Demon Race's guidance and protection.
Nevertheless, there were only two paths for those considered evil. Either hide forever or be hunted down until the edges of the universe.
Epoch Zero heard a rumor about a High World named Iron, dominated by a Rank 7 life form. That Being of Laws and their kind knew only how to steal from other worlds, leaving nothing but bodies in their path.
They were lucky since they were in a remote corner of the universe, and no one paid too much attention to them. But everything changed once the Neo-Demon Race found out about them.
Legions of Neo-Demons invaded Iron, killing around ten percent of the total population in less than a day. As for the Rank 7 leader, he ran for a few months before the Sky Breakers captured him and erased their existence.
Epoch Zero's instincts brought him back to reality, and he saw how Bael's cold eyes focused on him. It was clear that his words had infuriated the Archangel.
Luckily for the Supernova genius, Ivar put himself between the two.
"Should I take this as the Magi World siding with the Supernova Race against us?" Bael's coldness only grew as he spoke those words and his wings glowed with a sky-blue light.
"Only the Truth of the Universe can speak in the name of the entire Magi World. You only need to know that I will not let you harm them." Ivar's aura began to rise as the power of Astral Chaos formed a red sun around his body.
Epoch Zero and Ruin Second did not say a word, but the gratitude in their eyes was evident.
Bael clenched his fist as he stared at the Magus, making the void tremble. In the end, he just turned around and prepared to leave when his instincts screamed danger.
Ivar appeared right behind the Rank 9 Archangel, and there was a wide smile on his face as his eyes burned with killing intent. The Magus waved Ars Goetia down toward Bael with a speed and momentum countless times faster than the speed of light.
Anyone else would have needed at least a fraction of a nanosecond to respond, but Bael's soul and body acted even faster. His energy and bloodline force exploded before gathering in his wings, which he used to defend against Ars Goetia.
"¡BOOM!"
Waves of Astral Chaos capable of crushing worlds blasted in every direction as the spearhead connected with the wings.
Epoch Zero and Ruin Second could not believe the might of Ivar's attack. They were far from the epicenter, yet the shock waves almost sent them flying away.
The duo's shock transformed into utter awe as the waves of Astral Chaos vanished, and they saw the state of Bael.
Bael's bloodline was the Imperishable Gravity Star. It was considered the one with the mightiest defensive capabilities of Second-Order Bloodlines and gave the Archangel the ability to endure even Primarch's level attacks.
Nevertheless, Ivar's attack broke two of Bael's wings and left a bloody scar on his chest!
Ars Goetia contained an incredibly penetrating force, while Astral Chaos could enhance anything with a weight mightier than even black holes.
Bael had just experienced what an attack combining both could unleash.
Ivar saw the wound his attack left. While thrill would have filled the heart of any other Everlasting Stage life form, there was disappointment in his eyes.
The Magus had not forgotten his encounter with Chrollo. His cultivation had barely entered Rank 9 back then, but that did not matter for Ivar. The only thing that he cared about was how easily the Primordial stopped his attack.
'Far from enough!' Ivar's eyes glowed with even more potent killing intent as he shouted those words in his mind and focused on Bael.
"
"So this is how the honorable Ivar behaves. How disappointing." Bael's voice was calm, and there was no way to say what he was thinking, but just like Ivar's, his eyes glowed with killing intent.
"Hmph, I know that if you had found an opening, you would not have hesitated to kill me during my training, so save me the hypocrisy," Ivar shouted as his red sun glowed with even more power.
Ars Goetia also unleashed its killing intent, and its spearhead ignited with a cursed force.
Bael's eyes narrowed as he heard that, and he did not bother to refute them since they were true. How could he allow such a genius to exist outside the Heavenly Race?
"So, do you think you can kill me alone?" The Archangel's aura exploded as he spoke those words. His wings morphed into a sky-blue armor that covered every part of his body.
"Killing you? I don't think so. But harming you, well, let us find out!"
Ivar flashed toward the Archangel as he charged all of his power into Ars Goetia.
Bael did not hesitate and also flashed forward. His energy concentrated in his arms and legs, skyrocketing their resilience and power.
"¡BOOOOMMMM!"
A red and sky-blue explosion occurred when Ars Goetia and the Archangel's fist collided. The power in that blast was so powerful that it shattered the Prima Universe's law matrix!
