Chapter 413 - Eon Six (II)
The volcano explosion originated a ball of destructive energy and unleashed a wave of fire that extended for hundreds of thousands of meters.
The wave immediately reached the place where both devils armies fought and had more than enough power to reduce Rank 4 life form to ashes.
Just when the flames were about to consume more than five hundred thousand devils, the eight Marquises positioned themselves in front of their soldiers, and they used their consciousness to form an invisible wall that stopped the wave.
Both sides worked together not because they care about the lesser devils but because their burdens would be greater in the subsequent battles if they are gone.
The Infernal Rage Titan and Skull Dragon saw with fear the core of the explosion that forced them to act together. They were supposed to be Peak Devil Marquises, the highest level one could reach without advancing to Rank 6, but the muscular devil and Zatiel made them understand how foolish those thoughts were.
As the Devil Marquises protected the lesser devils, a dark flash rose from the ground and appeared away from the ball of energy's range.
Zatiel's figure was visible after a few seconds, and his condition was horrible. He lost his left arm and leg. Most of his armor was gone showing his charred skin, and his energy was in disarray.
The Neo-Demon hid beneath the ground after leaving a Rebirth Incarnation as a decoy. Instead of waiting until he was at a safe distance and giving the muscular devil time to escape, he chose to trigger the explosion even if it would also harm him.
He was having a hard time breathing, and his bloodline and Rebirth Force were working with their maximum potency to regenerate his extremities.
Right now, the best path would have been to leave the battlefield and return to the mountain range to recover, but Zatiel did not go.
The next second when a figure rose from the core of the explosion and coldly looked at everyone from the sky.
The muscular devil had lost both of his legs and right arm. The explosion broke his armor, and the wounds on his back were so severe that you could see his spine.
Shock appeared in the Devil Marquises' faces when they saw the Eye of Time's holder. The explosion Zatiel triggered using the volcano had more than enough power to destroy the body of anyone present had they been in the center of it.
Although the muscular devil was wounded, none of his injuries were lethal. The might of his body could compare with a Peak Rank 5 Demodand, something even Demon Marquises fell short of.
One thing was clear to every devil present. Whatever technique the muscular devil used to train his body was superior to that of the legendary Blood Duke.
Greed appeared in the eyes of some of the Marquises. The muscular devil was severely wounded, and they could overpower him if they worked together.
The muscular devil felt the way the Marquises were looking at him, and he sneered before doing something that would make his fame reach the peak of the continent.
"AHHHHHHH!" He roared with all of his energy, and the Eye of Time released a force that twisted Baator's Law of Time.
Even Zatiel was surprised by what he saw next.
The muscular devil's severely injured body began to heal at an unbelievable speed as a blue light carrying the power of time overflowed him from the inside out.
It took only one second for the muscular devil's body to be at its peak!
The others may not understand the power the Eye of Time's holder used, but Zatiel did.
'Time Travel!'
The reason for the Neo-Demon's surprise was because Time Travel needed a Law of Time at the Grand Completion level, so the muscular devil could only use it if he possessed a powerful Law Bloodline.
Although a Law Bloodline was tempting for the Neo-Demon, he was not foolish enough to think he could steal it in his current condition.
The muscular devil's energy pool and Soul Origin were empty, and the Eye of Time closed, but he was more than capable of handling the Marquises with just his physical strength.
He focused on the Devil Marquises, whose eyes were full of greed just a moment ago, and saw how they cowardly look down. Coldness appeared in the devil's face but did not waste time with them and turned to the Neo-Demon.
Unlike the others, Zatiel did not look away, and despite the condition of his body, the Rebirth Eye shone with killing intent.
Zatiel had saved Rebirth Nightmare and could use it against the muscular devil since the red aura was gone. Nonetheless, although wounding his soul was possible, he did not think that would be enough to defeat him.
A smile appeared in the muscular devil when he saw Zatiel's killing intent and nodded before speaking.
"I am Eon Six. We will see each other again." Eon Six said nothing else before making a portal and vanishing.
When the Infernal Rage Titan and the other Devil Marquises on Duke Krior's side saw Eon Six leave, they all relaxed. The muscular devil was genuinely terrifying, and even if they all worked together, they could at most equal him.
Zatiel did not care about the other Devil Marquises. He focused on the memories from the Eye of Life and Creation's original holder, especially in his brethren.
Thanks to his knowledge, he identified some of the power those individuals born of a supernova possessed.
'One of Supernova Eyes had the power of Spacetime. Eon Six is not the reincarnation or avatar of that person. From his bloodline purity, I can assume he is a direct descendant.' This information was very relevant for Zatiel.
If the rest of the Supernova Eyes had followed his brother's path and perished, it would have been the best scenario for the Neo-Demon. Zatiel did not know how they would react if they found out that he killed the Supernova Eye of Life and Creation and took his bloodline.
The Neo-Demon did not worry too much. Each of the Supernova Eyes was born as a Peak Rank 7 life form, and even with their bloodline, none of them should have reached Rank 9 yet.
'I will leave. Without the volcano, there is no much value in this location, so the forces of the Darkness Poison Duke should retreat. Of course, without an Infernal Citadel, this place will be impossible to defend and become no man's land, but that doesn't matter to me.'
Zatiel did not care about the winner of the war between Duke Krior and the Darkness Poison Duke. Once his True Soul, True Doomsday Body, and Animus' Path of Power reach Rank 5, everything will change.
The Neo-Demon turned around to leave. Before that, he glanced at the Skull Dragon and gave him a cold smile.
The Skull Dragon's eyes showed fear, and before he could do anything, a purple portal appeared in his soul dimension. He lost focus, allowing the flames to pierce his section of the wall and killing thousands of lesser devils instantly.
Zatiel did not use his full power in the attack, and the portal disappeared instantly, making almost no damage to the Skull Dragon's soul.
Unfortunately for the draconic Devil Marquess, the Infernal Rage Titan used the opportunity to land a devastating blow to his chest and send him flying away.
The fight between the Marquises restarted with that attack, and the wave of fire consumed all the lesser devils that did not manage to run away.
