Abyssal Lord Of The Magi World

Chapter 468 - The Eldritch Universe

"You don't need to worry. I know what will happen if I let the Eldritch Universe's laws enter my body, but I can handle it."

A profound light appeared in John Erick's eyes when he heard those words.

"The formation of the Sacred Body of Laws is an essential part of our cultivation. While the flaws and quality don't really make a difference in Rank 6, there is a significant contrast in power between a Rank 7 life form that engraved the laws in a High World and one that did it in a Principal World.

The energy pool of a Rank 7 life form is around one hundred times greater than that of a Rank 6 life form. If their Sacred Body of Laws is not powerful enough, their energy output would be deficient, limiting their offensive might.

Theoretically, the stronger the laws you engrave in your body, the more powerful your Sacred Body of Laws would be, so if someone used the Prima-Eldritch Universe Final Battlefield's laws, their power would be incredible.

Many years ago, a great genius of the Heavenly Race did that. That woman was an Archangel and had the support of the Heavenly Creator World's Law Overlords.

She was too cocky and thought that since the Prima-Eldritch Universe Final Battlefield's laws were born of the clash between the two super universes, she could resist any side effect.

In the end, she became a puppet of the Eldritch Universe's Will."

The King was very wise and made it seem like he spoke to everybody when he actually intended those words for Zatiel.

John Erick informed the Neo-Demon that even a genius with the knowledge and resources of one of the Prima Universe's mightiest races was doomed to eternal servitude due to her arrogance.

Ezequiel's eyes narrowed when he heard the King's words. He understood that there would be danger in using an unorthodox path while forming his Sacred Body of Laws, but it seemed he was underestimating them.

Of course, that did not mean he had second thoughts about following the path Zatiel wanted for them. His trust in the Neo-Demon's Ancestor was absolute and would follow him regardless of what the rest of the universe said.

"I know the danger of letting a foreign ego infect your soul. I know it better than anyone else in the universe." Even though he was smiling, Zatiel remembered something very annoying as he spoke those words.

John Erick noticed the change in Zatiel's aura, and before he could continue arguing against the Neo-Demon going to the battlefield, this one resumed his speech.

"That is why I know there would be no problem for us.

I rose to might after the cataclysmic war against the Eldritch Universe, and I fell millions of years before the appearance of the Prima-Eldritch Universe Final Battlefield. However, my knowledge about our eternal enemies is profound.

Unlike our universe, which has countless different races, the Eldritch Universe has only one sentient race. While there are countless branches and variations, every life form can find its origin in the Eldritch Race.

Another significant difference between the Prima Universe's life forms and the Eldritch Race is our individuality.

We are unique beings with an ego, and while we see the Prima Universe as our home and sought to protect it, instinctively seeing any alien life form with disgust, nothing forces us to that task.

The Eldritch Race is fundamentally different from us in that aspect. You can consider the Eldritch Universe as a superorganism and every eldritch life forms as a cell of that organism.

While members of the Eldritch Race have a sense of self and unique personality, they are still, at their core, an extension of the Eldritch Universe and must obey the Universe Will.

The Eldritch Universe's sole purpose is to devour, grow stronger, and then keep devouring. For that super universe, the Prima Universe and the countless life forms that inhabit it are nothing but food, and every member of the Eldritch Race has that idea engraved in their souls.

That is why peace between us, the Prima Universe's life forms, and the Eldritch Race is impossible. We either kill them, or they kill us. It is as simple as that.``

The trio of the Scientia Royal Family was shocked by the depth of Zatiel's knowledge. While they already knew most of that information thanks to their connection with the Truth of the Universe, the goal behind the Eldritch Universe's Will was new information.

Ezequiel was also surprised, and a somber expression appeared on his face as he pictured the enemy.

Zatiel could discern the thought crossing the Supreme Neo-Demon's mind, and he nodded.

"You are right to be worried. Even if our powerhouses are slightly superior in number to those of the Eldritch Universe, our individuality weakens us as a whole.

Not to mention that the Great Old Ones, the most outstanding members of the Eldritch Race, can compare with the leaders of the Prima Universe's Principal Worlds and Planes."

John Erick sighed and gave a bow toward Zatiel. It was clear now that the Neo-Demon was not unaware of the danger of the Eldritch Universe's Will.

"Teacher knowledge is truly boundless, but since you understand all that, you should understand the danger of letting the Eldritch Universe's laws infect you."

Zatiel nodded after seeing the King acknowledging his mistake and decided to ease his burden.

"That trash of the Heavenly Race fell because after the Prima-Eldritch Universe Final Battlefied's laws touched her souls, an ego that sought to follow the Eldritch Universe's Will began to grow inside her.

While I find them equal to garbage, the Heavenly Race knowledge is remarkable, so they should have been aware that would happen to that genius. They possibly thought that she could fight back and maintain her personality if her soul was strong and pure enough, so they must have provided her with all kinds of divine drugs.

Those winged rats failed to understand that the new ego would be born out of her True Soul, so the mightier and purer her soul was, the stronger the personality bound to the Eldritch Universe would be.

The only way to fight a foreign will is with an even stronger will. Unfortunately, while the willpower of an individual grows with their conviction and life experiences, it is still limited by the power of their souls.

Someone with a monstrous will could suppress the new ego at most, but defeating it was not realistic."

John Erick, Dean, and Gabriel could not help but feel awe at Zatiel's wisdom and knowledge. The reason for the Heavenly Race's genius downfall was a great mystery, and while they could not be sure of the accuracy in the Neo-Demon's reasoning, they found it made perfect sense.

Unlike the wonder in the trio's gaze, a look of realization appeared on Ezequiel, as he understood why unlike the rest of the Prima Universe's life forms, he and Zatiel could engrave laws that had the Eldritch Universe's power.

The trio was confused by the carefree aura around Ezequiel. Zatiel had just explained why everybody, regardless of their willpower, would be doomed if they engrave the Prima-Eldritch Universe Final Battlefield's laws.

"Things would have been much different if that Archangel could free her will from the soul's limitations and make it grow more potent than her True Soul. That way, anything born out of her soul would be crushed by a stronger will."

John Erick Rebellion's eyes widened when he heard that, and his entire body trembled for a second as an idea appeared in his mind.

"A Path of Power for the will!"
