Abyssal Lord Of The Magi World

Chapter 546 - Wrath

Zatiel glanced at the King in Yellow for a moment, but he lost interest the next second. The enemy showed no battle intent, so instead, he focused on the red threads binding him.

The Neo-Demon's eyes widened when he saw that he could not touch the threads. It was as if they were not even here, yet their power was more remarkable than Space Origin Essence.

While it may sound arrogant, saying that the Incarnation of Death and Destruction understood every force and law that gave the Prima Universe order and formed reality would not be an exaggeration.

Nevertheless, Zatiel had absolutely no idea what these red threads were and how they worked. Even if they were some mighty Omega Law, he should be able to perceive the Prima Universe's laws that gave birth to it, but he did not.

The King in Yellow saw Zatiel trying to decipher the red threads, and instead of stopping him, he maintained silence and allowed the Neo-Demon to focus.

No matter what he did, whether his soul force, Mind Force or energy, they could not touch the red threads.

If he could not even touch the red threads, how could he fight against them?

Zatiel frowned but did not let his emotions get out of control. He took a deep breath before closing his eyes and remaining completely immobile.

Interest appeared in the King in Yellow's eyes when he saw that and then felt how the forces inside the Neo-Demon began to shut down.

First was his Elemental Chaos, then his soul force and even his life force shut down. In the end, the only force present in the Neo-Demon was his bloodline force.

Then the Rebirth Eye opened, and a wave of mystical power emerged from the Neo-Demon.

Zatiel focused on the thickest thread, and he managed to get hold of it this time.

Coldness replaced the interest in the King in Yellow's eyes when he saw that Zatiel was able to touch the threads after ignoring his other forces and using the purest might of his bloodline.

Zatiel did not notice the change in the eyes of the King in Yellow, as right now images were inundating his mind.

He saw a boy at death doors thrown in a mass grave in the images. Then he saw the same boy many years later standing proudly in the sky as a lightning paragon, coldly watching millions of demons that were worshiping him as a god.

There was no need to say that the boy was the Supreme Neo-Demon, with the first image being the first time he saw Zatiel, as for the second, it should be his time as the Demon Lord Evil.

A profound light appeared in Zatiel's eyes as he saw the effect of this thread. He let go of it and went for the second thickest.

Once again, a set of images appeared in Zatiel's mind. First, they depicted a girl with a deformed body and a weak spirit, afraid of everything, then what they showed was a woman so beautiful that the word perfection fell short, and her eyes were like suns full of willpower.

The second red thread showed him images of Sophia, from their first encounter when the woman was afflicted by her deformities, until now when she was one of the most beautiful women in the universe.

Finally, Zatiel touched the third red thread. He saw a soul born of a miracle with a body resembling a giant brain, and then a handsome young man whose blood burned like a thousand suns full of pride due to his heritage.

The three most potent red threads showed him images of the three most important people in his life. The man with whom he shared a bond stronger than blood, the woman who made him feel love for the first time, and his firstborn.

Zatiel emptied his mind of any thought and focused solely on the information he received.

'These threads, their power comes from the bonds I have made with those around me. The stronger the bond, the stronger are the threads. Could this be...'

The Neo-Demon stared at the King in Yellow and spoke a single word.

"Karma."

When the King in Yellow heard that word, shock appeared in his eyes, but soon an even greater coldness replaced it.

"I can not stop wondering, what is your real identity?"

The King in Yellow's coldness did not bother Zatiel, and he once again focused on the red threads. He felt that the answer was just partially correct.

Whatever this power was, it was also the thing that affected his instincts and led him to believe that this place harbored a threat that he needed to destroy as soon as possible.

'It affected my perception of the events occurring around me, of the dangers and real threats. The power that connects me to the environment and laws, the reaction that I have in the universe and that it has on me.'

A look of realization appeared in Zatiel's face, and he looked at the King in Yellow with a smile.

"I understand. The Eldritch Universe's primary laws, the ones that allow your universe to exist, are the Law of Cause and the Law of Effect!"

The coldness in the King in Yellow's eyes exploded into killing intent when he heard Zatiel speak those words. That level of perception and talent, he could not allow such a genius life form exist in an enemy universe.

"There is no need to act like that. Since you trapped me here, how about continuing the conversation we started in the Beta Heavenly World." Zatiel showed nothing as he felt the monstrous killing intent of the King in Yellow.

As the old monster he was, the King in Yellow only needed a second to get his emotions in order, and he stared at the Neo-Demon before the smile in his meat suit widened.

"Please, do not look down on me. I know you informed your man outside the force field about your current situation. Also, I can see how the monsters you took from Limbo quietly target the energy patterns that enable Saint City's defenses."

Zatiel no longer smiled, and coldness appeared in his eyes as he focused on the King in Yellow. He had not started a fight because he was making time, but it seemed he was not the only one.

"According to my calculations, the force field should resist for another fifteen seconds."

"Oh, you think you can erase me in such a small window of time. You are really confident." Zatiel began to mobilize his energy and was ready to unleash everything he had to face the King in Yellow.

"The force field doesn't matter. After all, our battlefield is not inside this Transitional Plane."

A horrible premonition assaulted Zatiel when he heard that and saw a red thread the size of an arm emerge from the King in Yellow's head and vanish into the sky.

Zatiel realized he could not move from his location, and an immense force grabbed hold of him and seemed to pull into the void.

"Hurry."

Ezequiel heard Zatiel's voice in his mind, and while the Neo-Demon Ancestor's tone was calm, he knew that something very wrong was happening.

Without hesitation, the Supreme Neo-Demon triggered his Bloodline Apocalyptic Metamorphosis, fused with Entropy, and even went to the extreme of burning his life force and soul force to grow stronger.

A shock wave emerged from Ezequiel's body, generating giant cracks in space as his power skyrocketed.

Gods' Tomb's laws began to act and attempted to expel the Supreme Neo-Demon as his raw power went beyond Half Rank 7, but by using his ability to commune with the universe, he was able to hide.

Ezequiel knew the concealment would only last for a few seconds, but that was all he needed, and he immediately began to strike the force field with everything he had.

On the other hand, the thirty-three monsters wreaking havoc in Saint City flashed toward the Grand Castle, and once they were near it, they all blew themselves up!

"?BOOM!"

With most of the Grand Caste destroyed, the gray force field weakened significantly, and Ezequiel made a minor breach in it.

It was a hole the size of a fist, but the Supreme Neo-Demon managed to go through it by transforming himself into a torrent of white lightning.

Ezequiel immediately reformed his body and plunged himself into the burning purple flames that covered the lowest floor of the Grand Castle.

He achieved superluminal speed thanks to his immense power and immediately reached the King in Yellow and Zatiel. He saw the red threads binding the second, and since he failed to understand their power, he chose to attack their origin.

Vibration Origin Essence, Primordial Entropy Lightning, Terminus Force, Elemental Chaos, Astral Qi, and World Strength gathered in Ezequiel's left fist as he punched toward the King in Yellow.

"BOOM!!!"

A multicolored explosion occurred the next instant. The force field that previously acted as a shield stopped the forces from dispersing, resulting in the complete obliteration of Saint City.

"CRACK!"

The gray force field could not resist more than a few seconds before shattering, allowing waves of destructive force to spread through the surroundings.

The only one still alive near the crater that was once Saint City was Roku. He stared at the core of the explosion and saw Ezequiel standing there alone.

Ezequiel's eyes showed the immense rage inside his soul.

"AHHHHHH!" The Supreme Neo-Demon roared as his energy and killing intent blasted in all directions, making the entire continent tremble.

Before he could connect his attack on the King in Yellow, this one smiled at him and vanished along with Zatiel.
