Abyssal Lord of the Magi World

After Zatilel and Ezequiel devoured every iota of energy left after the destruction of the Soul Core of Existence's particles, a blast of force emerged from the duo, generating even more cracks in the already shattered dark dimension.

"¡BOOM!"

"¡BOOM!"

Explosions echoed inside the dark dimension as this one already went beyond the point that it could remain stable even with the help of a powerhouse like Ragnar.

Zatiel, Ezequiel, and Ragnar did not hesitate before using some of the cracks to leave the dark dimension, now that they had completed their mission. Even if they could endure the collapse of it, there was no reason to receive unnecessary wounds.

The trio left just in time to see the implosion of the last remnant of Baator, the Ninth Circle of Hell.

It was spectacular how the black castle that covered all Nexus's landmass twisted, with every deformed piece gathering at the center.

All the powerhouses across the Prima Universe saw that sight with awe and wonder. Even mortals across the countless worlds felt a miracle was happening, as if something wrong with the universe had finally ceased to exist.

Issac, Salomon, Hyperion, Bahamut, Noir, and Nut stared at the trio responsible. Their eyes focused on the one that was the catalyst for everything, the man who could do the impossible and that they could follow to the end.

Finally, when all of Nexus was nothing more than a dot less than two centimeters wide, this one burst, unleashing a shock wave that expanded through the entire universe.

When that happened, the Prima Universe began to tremble. Those with the power to see the law matrix and felt the Universe Will's might saw how these became stronger!

Zatiel's eyes showed some surprise, but he soon understood what had happened.

The Universe Will could not destroy Endless Darkness' Cores of Existences, but it always suppressed them. Now that Baator was gone, the Prima Universe no longer had to endure that cancerous plane and became much stronger.

Zatiel showed a radiant smile when he saw that. The Prima Universe's power was something he would need to rely on for the final battle against the Alpha Universe and the Flame Imperator.

The Neo-Demon Ancestor even turned toward Abyss as bloodlust appeared in his eyes. Erasing Baator and the Soul Core of Existence proved beneficial for the Prima Universe, so it stands to reason that destroying the Body Core of Existence would also be helpful.

However, after some consideration, he chose against it. Charging into Abyss right now would not be wise. They were wounded, and unlike Baator, Ragnar would not enjoy immunity to the Body Core of Exisntece's pressure.

That meant only Zatiel and Ezequiel could deploy their full power in Abyss, and now that the Body Core of Existence knew what he did in Baator, this one would not hesitate before sending its full power against them.

Not to mention that even if Zatiel and Ezequiel could defeat all the enhanced and suicidal Archdemons, they would still have to face the Champion of Chaos before touching the Body Core of Existence.

There was the possibility of performing a full-power assault by gathering the help of the Justice Primarchs, but the chances of some of them dying was too high, which would be counterproductive.

'Another time will be.' Zatiel shook his head and was no longer bothered about Baator. The Neo-Demon Ancestor knew it was important to enjoy the small victories. Although erasing an evil plane with a Rank 10 Core of Existence as the nucleus that stood from time immemorial could not be considered precisely small.

Now that Baator was gone, Zatiel turned his eyes to another realm, more specifically, the one that held some of the greatest geniuses from the Prima Universe.

A group of thirty-six geniuses had gathered in the eighth layer of the Realm of Madness. They have proven to be the best of the best, charging all the way to the gate into the ninth level that held the two strongest Crazies.

Zatiel and Ezequiel gazed at the Realm of Madness before teleporting toward it.

Ragnar did not follow the duo as he learned a lot during the battles inside Baator and wanted to take full advantage of those experiences. The Viking sat in the void and closed his eyes as the End Stars floating around his forehead began to thrive with power.

When Zatiel and Ezequiel reached the Realm of Madness void, they saw how the powerhouses that remained there to watch over the geniuses of their races bowed to them.

The duo saw that and nodded as they did not find anything odd in their behavior.

Respect the strong. Age did not matter to life forms that reached their level, only strength. The Supreme Neo-Demon and the Neo-Demon Ancestor had proven that their brute power allowed them to defeat Primarchs, so it was only natural for those powerhouses to bow to the duo.

Zatiel did not waste his time and unleashed the full power of his Omega Law, covering the Realm of Madness. He would ensure that the next battle would not harm the world's foundation and save any of those geniuses if their lives were in danger.

Ezequiel's gaze focused on the sixth layer of the Realm of Madness, where a group of Neo-Demon looked toward the eighth layer.

Numir was among them, and her eyes glowed with fighting spirit. Due to her status, none of those geniuses would dare to refuse if she wanted to join them, but there was no way she would do something so selfish and foolish.

In all fairness, Numir had grown powerful very fast, having reached Peak Rank 7 and the Omega Law forming inside her seemed to have immense potential. Unfortunately, time was no longer on her side, and if she were to join those about to march into the ninth layer, she would only be a burden.

"¡BOOM!"

Suddenly, everybody inside the Realm of Madness looked to the void as they heard a massive thunder and saw a white pillar of lightning piercing the layers and reaching the sixth.

All the Neo-Demons saw how a majestic beast landed in front of them. The creature's eyes focused on Numir, smiling before fusing with the woman.

Numir was surprised to feel how her soul and body grew exponentially more powerful as a white scale armor covered her.

Entropy was a Peak Rank 8 life form, and it was just a matter of time before it entered Rank 9. Fusing with Numir weakened him as his goal was to grant the woman enough power so she could experience the battle on her own.

Numir felt her strength and showed a beautiful smile full of love toward the void before flashing into the eighth layer.

None of the geniuses said anything about Numir joining them in their final fray. She now had the power not only to be of help but be one of the strongest fighters.

As for the fact she obtained her current power due to outside help, everybody understood the importance of background. If they wanted to complain, they could only blame themselves for not having such a powerful backer like Invictus.

However, one among the geniuses narrowed her eyes as she saw Numir's armor.

"Hmph!" Zitra sneered, but she was not doing it toward Numir. She only felt happy for the Neo-Demon to be able to join them.

In the void, the one that was the actual target of Zitra's anger trembled for a moment.

Zatiel turned toward the Supreme Neo-Demon, blaming this one for making him look bad. Ezequiel only looked away as if he did not notice that.

"Go." Zatiel only sighed before saying that, making a pillar of purple flames enter the Realm of Madness.

It reached Zitra and fused with her, covering the woman in flaming bark armor.

After that somewhat comical event, all the geniuses adopted solemn expressions as they marched into the ninth layer.
