Abyssal Lord of the Magi World

"En, the Ancient Killer, and the World Tree."

The Primarchs were surprised as they heard those words. None of them took part in the Cataclysmic War against the Eldritch Race, but everybody listened to the mythical tales of the World Tree.

Had it not been for the Champion of Justice and Order and the World Tree, there was no way the Prima Universe would have won the war against the Eldritch Universe and the Great Old Ones.

Issac and Salomon looked at each other and nodded before glancing at the other Primarchs and powerhouses. They all understood the intent in the eyes of the Magus and Immortal Primarchs.

In unison, all the Primarchs and powerhouses performed a deep bow as their voices echoed through the Titan World.

"We humbly greet the Hero of Cataclysm!"

Those actions were not brought by fear or awe but by respect and admiration.

En was not someone who liked flattery or enjoyed meaningless gestures, but he felt the sincerity behind their words. He did not interrupt them and instead solemnly nodded.

Issac and the other straightened their position after En nodded and turned toward Zatiel. The fact that the Neo-Demon could bring the World Tree with him and make this mighty hero follow his command was beyond shocking.

As the Primarchs and powerhouses focused on Zatiel, this one finally opened his eyes. The power of karma exploded, and the thickest thread coming from him glowed with might that could sunder a sky.

"Master?"

Once again, a wave of shock filled everybody's souls. They recognized Ezequiel's voice coming from that karmic thread, which could only mean Zatiel established a link into the Sacred Trial.

The power of karma only grew more and more terrifying in the Primarchs' minds.

"Yes, it is me. Tell me, what is your situation?" Zatiel smiled as he heard Ezequiel's voice and detected no dread or anxiety.

"I am fine, Master. These trials are indeed odd, and the entity in charge of them is against me. Luckily, there are rules that he must follow, and he can not harm me directly."

Zatiel nodded as he heard that, but he was still worried. Those golden eyes were on the brink of madness, and there was no way to say what that entity would do if pushed to the limit.

"Should we try to force our way in? I recently acquired the help of an old friend, and our chances of taking you alive should be around eighty percent."

The Primarchs, especially Hyperion, grew tense as they heard that question. There was no doubt in their minds that if Ezequiel asked Zatie to rescue him, the Neo-Demon Ancestor would do just that regardless of the consequences.

"There is no need for that, Master. I am confident in my chances of survival. Besides, these trials have proven extremely beneficial for me. There might be a chance I could actualize my destiny if I complete them."

Zatiel nodded and did not try to dissuade Ezequiel. A Godking would never back down from a path that could make them stronger just for fear of death.

Hyperion released a sigh of relief as he saw that. He won't have to add Zatiel and the World Tree to his list of concerns.

"Tell us what you have found out about these trials."

That information was something not only Zatiel was interested in, but the Primarchs, powerhouses, and even En wanted to know.

The strength to create such a powerful dimension and keep its true purpose hidden for billions of years was not something everybody could display.

"I have not learned much, but the entity that guided me from one trial to the other referred to the creator as Lord of Emptiness. There is also a world in this place whose laws and forces surpass that of Principal Wolrd called Empty World. Hundreds of Outlandish Beasts of Emptiness populate this word. They are unintelligent beasts with power equal to Primarchs."

En and the Primarchs were incredibly serious as they heard that. Although Ezequiel did not convey a lot, what he told them made one thing clear for everybody.

Whoever that Lord of Emptiness was, he must be a Rank 10 life form!

"Emptiness, huh," Zatiel murmured those words as his eyes glowed.

"I have enhanced our karmic bond. In case of danger, focus all your power on it, and I will come to rescue you. Before I forget, how are the other forty Void Creator geniuses?"

Zatiel did not really care about those geniuses, but he knew the Primarchs and powerhouses did, so he asked.

"The entity had put the forty Void Creators in stasis once they entered the dimension. They are alive, but I am unaware of what will happen with them."

Hyperion, Bahamut, and Nut smiled as they heard that. It was good that the entity did not care about their young ones.

"I see. Focus on yourself, and if you can bring the forty alive out of the dimension once you finish the trial, that would be good. If not, it doesn't matter."

Zatiel did not hide his voice and made sure everybody heard it. Many of them showed displeasure, but he did not care. The events inside the trials were beyond his control, and Ezequiel's life was much more important than those geniuses.

"Yes, Master." The Supreme Neo-Demon spoke one last time before the karmic thread stopped glowing.

Zatiel stood up. The expression on his face made people believe he was trying to remember something.

It was extremely odd behavior since life forms in their realm could remember every second of their life in perfect detail.

"Did that information give you some clue about the one behind this dimension?" En asked Zatiel that question in everybody's mind.

The Neo-Demon immediately shocked his head, as they were not so lucky.

"I have no idea who that Lord of Emptiness is. Yet, I know that our Ultimate Enemy calls the space beyond the Cosmic Wall as Emptiness."

Zatiel did not call Endless Darkness by his name as many people present here were not fit to know that information.

En and the Primarchs did not believe the term emptiness in that tile would be a coincidence, so whoever that Lord of Emptiness was, just like Endless Darkness, was an alien life form.

As for how Zatiel obtained that knowledge, it was one more mystery around the Neo-Demon Ancestor they might find out in the future.
