Zatiel, Ezequiel, and Ragnar smiled as they saw the Archdevil legion marching toward them with suicidal madness. None of them waited and flashed forward at a mind-blowing speed.
The trio carved a bloody path as each flashed toward the Rank 9 Archdevils. Ironically, the one left out was Horus, the Archdevil that dominated the Fourth Circle of Hell, where the battle took place.
Neither the Neo-Demons nor the Viking worried too much about Horus. Unlike the other Rank 9 Archdevils that reached Primarch battle power after the Soul Core of Existence enhanced their existence, Horus only rose to the Peak Immortal Will Stage.
Shame and rage would have overwhelmed Horus' mind if that had happened any other day. But now that he was under the control of Endless Darkness Soul Core of Existence, none of that mattered for him. The mighty Rank 9 Archdevil was nothing more than a puppet and would follow the puppeteer's command even if it meant death.
Zatiel fought with the Archdevil known as Mortus, Lord of Anima, Fifth Circle of Hell. That monster had a humanoid body more than ten meters tall with twelve arms, each holding a bloody sword.
The red-blue lightsaber and the bloody swords clashed at superluminal speed, unleashing arcs of bloody light and dark-purple flames that destroyed everything around them.
Rank 7 and 8 Archdevil launched at the Neo-Demon Ancestor from every direction without fear of death. As long as they forced him to spend a little energy, the Soul Core of Existence did not care if all of them perished.
Unfortunately for the Archdevils, whenever they got close to him, the Sun of Justice would unleash flashes of sunlight that burned them, forcing them to move back and, sometimes, setting them ablaze.
A few million kilometers away from Zatiel, Ezequiel was fighting against Gorgodon, the Ruler of the Sixth Circle of Hell. That Archdevil was fifteen meters tall, with a body made purely of bones. Several skulls could be seen all over the chest, along with four powerful arms.
Ezequiel was in his Monster Form, the one he used to fight the Sky Breakers thousands of years ago. The Sun of Freedom could not set the weak Archdevils ablaze, so instead, he used his whip-like extremities to attack from every direction.
Just like against Zatiel, Rank 7 and 8 Archdevils launched suicidal attacks against Ezequiel. Each time, the Supreme Neo-Demon would send them flying away with a large laceration all over their bodies, even splitting some in half.
Ragnar fought against the largest of the Archdevils. She resembled an obsidian dragon with golden patterns all over her body, and her wings could cover hundreds of thousands of kilometers.
The name of that Rank 9 Archdevil was Lofin, Tyran of the Eighth Circle of Hell. Despite her size, she could move faster than those facing Zatiel and Ezequiel and forced Ragnar to push himself beyond his limit to fight her.
Ragnar had just dodged one giant claw strike when Lofin opened her mouth and fired a beam of golden energy that could incinerate a sun!
Despite the immense danger in which he found himself, Ragnar smiled. He hacked with his ax, generating an arc of red force that clashed with the golden beam.
"BOOOMMMMMMMM!" The clash between the golden energy beam and the red arc of force ended an explosion that made the entire Fourth Circle of Hell tremble.
Ragnar smiled as the explosion sent every one of those annoying Rank 7 and 8 Archdevil flying away. Without hesitation, he flashed toward Lofin as the power on Valhalla grew stronger.
Lofin sent her claws and wings toward Ragnar, but this one dodged them all.
"¡BOOM!"
Ragnar was only seven meters tall, smaller than even one of the Arcdevil's scales, but when Valhalla landed on Lofin's chest, it left a cut that reached the bone and sent the dragon flying away.
"CRACK!"
Less than a second after that happened, Ezequiel found an opening in Gorgodon's defense. He formed a massive arm carrying immense strength and struck directly in the Archdevil's chest, fracturing some of the ribs.
Zatiel was not left behind. He had left several lacerations over Mortus' body. His eyes narrowed as he prepared to cut one of the Archdevil's arms. At the last second, he twisted his body to the left, dodging a fiery fist.
Horus had mixed with the other Archdevils, hiding his presence to ambush Zatiel, but that failed miserably.
Disdain appeared in Zatiel's eyes as he kicked Horus in the head, sending this one flying away and, without losing momentum, hacked toward Mortus.
The Lord of Anima almost got his head cut off, and Zatiel forced him into the defensive. The Neo-Demon Ancestor was physically weaker than Ezequiel and Ragnar, but he constantly fired soul invasion spells that slowed down Mortus' speed of thought.
All the Justice Primarchs focused on the Fourth Circle of Hell battle, and their faces showed the awe and wonder invading their souls.
Mortus, Gorgodon, and Lofin only reached the weakest level of Primarch's battle power. Still, Zatiel, Ezequiel, and Ragnar faced them head-on, overwhelming them with their incredible power while also handling the suicidal attacks of the Rank 7 and 8 Archdevils.
Issac and Salomon were much stronger than the trio, but they could not do what they did. Neither the Magus Primach nor the Immortal Primarch could ignore Baator's suppression. With the Soul Core of Existence targeting them, they would be lucky if they managed to escape from the Archdevil legion.
The Justice Primarchs were not the only ones focusing on the Fourth Circle of Hell, as Eligos and Jormundgander also used special means to spy on the battle despite being locked down in their worlds.
Unlike the Justice Primarchs, the Mind Ruler Primarch and Leviathan Primarch felt nothing but dread and horror as they saw the might of Zatiel.
'What am I going to do? He has become so strong that he no longer needs the help of Salomon and the others to kill me.' Jormundgander trembled with fear in his castle as dread and desperation filled his soul. Just at that moment, when everything seemed lost, he heard a voice coming from behind him.
"Do you want me to save you?"
