'Now comes the hard part.' Zatiel's eyes focused as he drove the full power of the Destiny Karmic Reincarnation Omega Law.
Erasing a Rank 9 life form from the universe was a monumental feat that very few could take credit for, so one could imagine the expression of the powerhouses if they heard the Neo-Demon Ancestor's thoughts. Yet, he was not bragging, as what he sought to do next was much harder.
The power of the Destiny Karmic Reincarnation Omega Law exploded as trillions of karmic threads emerged from Zatiel's body, extending all over the Prima Universe.
Every interaction, no matter how great or small, formed karma. Zatiel could take control of it thanks to his Omega Law and use it as a conduit.
There was immense raw energy and soul force left in the Fourth Circle of Hell's origin. Leaving it behind would only allow the Soul Core of Existence to form a new Phlegethos in the future, but destroying it would be too wasteful.
That is why Zatiel intended to send all the energy and soul force he could not devour toward others that needed it using channels made of karma.
Such a feat was something only the Neo-Demon Ancestor, someone who began to understand the power of destiny and could manipulate it to some degree, could do.
Around twenty percent of the energy and soul force enter the Neo-Demon Ancestor's Inner Universe and True Soul, while the rest went to a few selected ones.
The first ones to feel that river of endless energy and soul force fusing into their existence were Bahamut and Hyperion since they were the closest to Abyss.
Expressions of pure thrill appeared in the Dragon Primarch and Titan Primarch as they felt those forces washing their existences. The soul force was especially useful as it would help them improve their cultivation.
"Lucky bastards," Issac shouted toward the duo and shrugged his shoulders. He understood that his Cores of Existence did not require more energy but instead a qualitative evolution. That is why Zatiel did not send him any soul force or raw energy.
A karma thread reached the Neo-Demon Realm and pierced into the White Sun, contacting Hades' soul. The Ancient Being of Laws immediately felt how his power increased.
The Realm Avatar's power immediately rose to Peak Rank 8, and the strength Hades could unleash through spells across the Prima Universe neared the Primarch level!
Karma threads also worked as energy and soul force conduits into Noir and Nut, the Immortal Alliance's Primarchs, besieging the Mind Ruler World.
The Justice Primarchs and Hades were not the only ones that benefited, as those karma threads also sent energy and soul force into Ivar, Apex, Eve, and other mighty warriors that Zatiel considered worthy.
Zatiel did not send any into the Realm of Madness nor toward Ragnar and Ezequiel.
The vitality and energy that Venganza stole from Abyss still flooded the realm, giving the geniuses all they could need. As for the Supreme Neo-Demon and the Viking, both wantonly devoured the landmasses, so they did not require an additional source.
"¡AHHH!"
"¡AHHH!"
Cries of rage and madness emerged from Nexus non-stop as Zatiel, Ezequiel, and Ragnar lay havoc on Baator. The Soul Core of Existence did not have a Champion and lacked the strength to leave the Ninth Circle of Hell, so there was nothing it could do other than grow weaker and weaker.
Due to the insane speed at which Zatiel devoured the Fourth Circle of Hell's origin, it dried up in less than two weeks. Disappointment appeared in all those receiving the origin energy and soul force when they noticed the flow stopped. The speed at which they were progressing was insane. Many felt like the bottleneck that had hindered their cultivation for countless years was finally loosening up.
However, their disappointment did not last for long since once Zatiel finished with Phlegethos' origin, he teleported into Anima's origin.
As he did with the Fourth Circle of Hell, the Neo-Demon Ancestor pulverized all the Archdevils' True Souls, leaving only soul force and raw energy.
Zatiel used some raw soul force to erase Mortus' existence before using karma channels to resume energy flow.
If he devoured the origin from a High Plane or World and sent it into mighty warriors, while those individuals would grow stronger, it would have weakened the universe as a whole. It was only in a Principal Plane like Baator, which was actually a burden to the Prima Universe, where Zatiel's actions were practical.
Zatiel was halfway through with Anima's origin when he noticed how its landmass began to shatter. Ragnar had already devoured every iota of life force in it and was ready to march into the Seventh Circle of Hell.
The Neo-Demon Ancestor's eyes narrowed as he turned toward the Seventh Circle of Hell named Labyrinth. Unlike all the other circles, Labyrinth never had a Rank 9 Archdevil overlord.
The entire Seventh Circle of Hell was a living creature with the power to trap people in endless illusions, preventing life forms from entering the Eighth Circle of Hell, much less Nexus.
Ragnar immediately noticed something wrong as he entered the Seventh Circle of Hell, as a dark gray fog covered every corner of this one. A force attempted to cloud his sense, but he could resist due to his brain's unique constitution. Nevertheless, fulfilling his mission in that state would be hard.
As the Viking wondered how to proceed, a monstrously powerful soul force emerged from the Fifth Circle of Hell and reached Labyrinth's sky, giving birth to a giant Rex Somniorum Eye.
The phantom of Zatiel's right eye covered the entire Labyrinth's sky and unleashed a soul force that neutralized the Seventh Circle of Hell's power.
Ragnar smiled as he felt the power attacking his soul vanish. Without hesitation, he flashed into the landmass and pierced with his ax, devouring its life force.
Less than a day later, Ezequiel finished his job in the Sixth Circle of Hell and moved to Labyrinth, where he assisted Ragnar in devouring the plane's life force.
A sight that shocked the entire Prima Universe occurred as Baator, the evil plane that had been a scourge for billions of years, was being destroyed one circle at a time.
