"Since we have finished our Chaos Stones, going back to cultivate would be a waste of time. Together we should have no problem facing Primary Sun Domain Stage existences. It is time for the killing to begin." A bloodthirsty smile appeared on Zatiel's face when he spoke the last part.
King in Yellow's actions cost many Neo-Demon's lives, and the duo was ready to return the favor.
...
There was a vast dark forest with giant volcanic trees hundreds of thousands of meters tall. This place's name was the Bloodthorn Forest and worked as a border between two Tier 1 Strongholds, one from the Prima Universe and the other from the Eldritch Universe.
The Bloodthorn Forest lacked valuable resources, but thousands of Rank 6 life forms from both sides spent long periods inside it. The volcanic trees absorbed shock waves and strengthened the grey fog's obstruction powers, making the forest an excellent battlefield, where dozens perished every day.
A twenty meters tall bulky eldritch life form carefully walked through the forest. He had a humanoid form with tentacles instead of legs, and dozens of eyes covered every part of his chest.
His presence was very faint and hard to detect. Every eye glowed with a green light that seemed capable of piercing into the grey fog.
The Eldritch turned to the left as he detected something when suddenly, an invisible force struck his soul dimension. He saw a monstrous hand emerge from a purple portal and attack his True Self.
He was a Late Hollow Sun Domain existence but could barely keep the monstrous hand at bay. Things only grew worse for the Eldritch as the ground beneath him opened, revealing a man bathed in white lightning and with a flaming red aura.
With his soul hindered, the Eldritch failed to deploy a decent defense, and a barrage of devastating blows fully charged with Terminus Force landed on him.
After seeing his chest explode, the Eldritch knew his body would no longer be working. Without hesitation, the True Self left the soul dimension and flew away with tremendous speed.
The Eldritch's True Self almost managed to escape when someone with an even greater speed flashed forward, blocking his path.
With Rank 6 Shooting Star End activated, Zatiel grabbed the True Self. He was about to destroy it when an odd expression appeared on his face. The Neo-Demon felt that one of his Paths of Power reacted to the black eldritch figure.
A meaningful light appeared in his eyes as he changed his course of action and used Mind Force's threads to restrain the True Self, stopping it from doing anything.
Ezequiel had collected the eldritch life form's space ring and devoured the maimed body before vanishing beneath the ground.
Zatiel also used the Law of Death and Soul Law's power to hide his presence and disappear.
Their attack lasted a fraction of a second, and the energy fluctuations were minimal. However, there was still a possibility someone could detect them.
Supernova Domain powerhouses roamed the Bloodthorn Forest, so the Neo-Demons knew they had to be extra careful.
After an hour of flying, the duo reached an underground structure with walls covered in cloaking runes.
"What did he had?"
"Nothing much. There were some Origin Hearts and other resources, but he did not have a single Chaos Stone."
Ezequiel was a little disappointed after inspecting the Eldritch's space ring. Still, he understood that usually, only mighty Supernova Domain existences carry Earth Grade Chaos Stones.
"There was, however, a pleasant surprise. The Eldritch's body had an immense amount of energy and vitality. He was at the Late Hollow Sun Domain Stage, but I think the nutrients provided could compare with Demon Lords at the Peak Primary Sun Domain Stage."
Ezequiel could feel his cells thriving in excitement as immense amounts of energy fueled them.
A Neo-Demon's body needed outrageous amounts of energy and nutrients to grow stronger. In Ezequiel's case, he needed ten times more food than his brethren.
The stronger the body, the higher the requirement and no one in the universe could surpass the Supreme Neo-Demon in the same Rank when it comes to physical might.
Zatiel was also pleasantly surprised. While his bloodline focused on the soul, giving him a soul dominion of the highest level, his body was strong and needed significant amounts of energy.
Once they handled the physical aspect of the eldritch life form, the Neo-Demon focused on the soul. Zatiel waved his hand, making the Eldritch's True Self appear.
The black humanoid stared at the Neo-Demon with wrath, and there was no doubt in Zatiel's mind that if he could, the Eldritch would self-destruct just for the chance to harm his opponent.
Unfortunately for the creature, Zatiel's Mind Force completely sealed him. He could not even talk.
Not that it mattered as the Neo-Demon did not care what the Eldritch could say. Right now, his whole focus was on the feeling that appeared when he touched the True Self.
In the deep of the Spiritual Endless Ocean, the True Doomsday Body's opened his eyes. The black humanoid lacked an ego or wisdom, so he could not express his desire, but Zatiel understood it easily.
The black humanoid felt hunger, an abominable desire to devour the thing in Zatiel's hand. He did not know what it was, but every part of his being told him to consume it.
Without hesitation, Zatiel sent the True Self to his Inner Law Dimension.
Ezequiel was surprised when he saw that and could not help but feel worried. The Inner Law Dimension was very resilient, but that was when the attack came from the outside, and it was still highly susceptible to forces coming from within.
Although the Supreme Neo-Demon was concerned, he remained quiet. Ezequiel's aura changed, and his full power shifted to one of spiritual nature.
There was no need for words between the duo. Zatiel completely ignored the outside and focused solely on his Inner Law Dimension without a worry, as he knew his most trusted comrade would assist him if necessary.
When the Eldritch's True Self realized the place his enemy sent him, a malevolent expression appeared on his face. He knew there was no way out for him, so he was determined to do the most damage he could before perishing.
As the eldritch life form prepared to unleash every bit of energy he had left to free himself from his bindings, he heard a sneer from the sky.
"Hmph!"
A giant golden palm fell from the sky as the Soul Celestial Overlord punished the insignificant life form that dared to threaten his domains.
The Eldritch's True Self could only see in awe as the giant palm crashed on him, making cracks appear all over his body and sending him plummeting into the Spiritual Endless Ocean.
Despite the harm the True Will's palm caused, a flash of happiness appeared in the True Self since that attack also broke his bindings.
Unfortunately for the eldritch life form, a black humanoid appeared in front of him.
When he saw those eyes full of hunger, the True Self froze. The expression on his face was like that of a small animal who just met his natural depredator.
The True Doomsday Body did not wait for even an instant before plunging his hands into the True Self.
Horror filled the True Self's face when he saw how the black humanoid was consuming his existence.
"?AHHHHHHHH!"
The True Self released an inhuman shriek of pain as the True Doomsday Body consumed him, leaving not even a bit of his existence left.
If any else in the universe saw what just happened inside Zatiel's Inner Law Dimension, they would be completely astonished. Even Primarchs would feel an immense sense of awe filling their souls.
A Rank 5 life form had just erased an individual's existence! Now, not even the Great Old Ones, who were the highest truths and laws of the Eldritch Universe, could bring this eldritch life form back to life.
After finishing his meal, a broad and crazy smile appeared on the black humanoid's face as he roared.
"ROAR!"
The Spiritual Endless Ocean became chaotic as the True Doomsday Body unleashed his power, which grew by the second. A flash of light manifested in his eyes as an ego began to form.
What the black humanoid devoured was not only the Eldritch's soul force but also a piece of the Eldritch Universe's Will!
