Abyssal Lord of the Magi World
Chapter 548: The Lord of Beginning and End vs The King in Yellow (II)Zatiel felt the King in Yellow's aura reach him, and his eyes began to glow with silver light as the True Will fought against the willpower of his enemy.
In the end, none of them were able to overcome the other, since when it came to the purity and might of their wills, both Zatiel and the King in Yellow stood at the same level!
The Neo-Demon did not waste his time focusing on that, as his complete attention was on the King in Yellow's words and emotions. From his initial and extreme rage at being compared with the Prima Universe's Gods to the pride and conviction displayed when he expressed the belief that his place was the King of all existence.
Although the Neo-Demon wanted to know more about his opponent, he knew that it was all the King in Yellow would share. Those words were already a lot and only spoken due to the man's euphoria and self-confidence.
"I must say, I admire how calm you are, but please don't tell me you are expecting someone to come and save you."
The power of karma once again blasted off out of the King in Yellow, and Zatiel saw how red threads began to connect the dead stars and asteroids, instantly forming a world's size cocoon.
Zatiel's eyes narrowed as he felt the might of the karma cocoon, and the thing that amazed him the most was how it completely and utterly blocked any form of connection to the outside.
"You already know how hard to grasp the power of karma is, and I can guarantee that unless they knew our exact location, even Primarchs would need a few minutes to find us. Nothing can escape this place without my consent, not even an iota of your soul."
The King in Yellow's eyes glowed with pride as he saw his plan come to a success. He went to great lengths to make sure that there was no way of anyone tracking them, and the cloaking power of karma was something the life forms of the Prima Universe don't know and would find impossible to counter in a short time.

Zatiel stared at the karma cocoon, and his Rebirth Eye showed him that the King in Yellow was telling the truth. No one would be able to find him, and his Soul Seed could not exert enough force to bring pieces of his soul away from this place.
As he found himself at a complete dead end, the coldness in Zatiel's eyes began to vanish, and slowly a smile appeared on his face.
"Hahahahaha."
Of all the reactions the King in Yellow expected to obtain, a laugh was the only one he did not anticipate.
"Me searching your soul, stealing your memories, and devouring your destiny sounds funny to you?" There was wrath in the King in Yellow's voice as he spoke to Zatiel. The Neo-Demon's laugh made him feel uncomfortable, as it generated doubts and questions in his mind regarding his plan.
He waved his hand, and the golden giants' eyes glowed, unleashing the power of their souls.
The Neo-Demon felt an immense force crushing him from every direction, and blood leaked from his mouth, but even then, he continued laughing. He stared at the King in Yellow with a bloody smile.
"The reason that I laugh is that for the first time since I awoke, I lost control!" Zatiel's eyes glowed with a silver light so powerful that the King in Yellow felt as if flames were coming out of them.
"Even in the Beta Heavenly World, when you captured my clone, all went according to plan. I knew I would survive and defeat you as things moved forward. But now, I am truly shocked and could not have imagined this would happen."
The King in Yellow saw how ecstasy began to appear in the eyes of his enemy.
"The feeling of not knowing what is happening, of being one step away from death. I had forgotten how thrilling it is when your life is about to end, and every piece of your existence urges you to survive at all cost!"
Zatiel roared those last words, and then the soul forces that were crushing him disintegrated as a red light appeared in his eyes.
The King in Yellow's eyes widened, and he felt that something was incredibly wrong, so he commanded one of the Rank 7 Gods to flash forward an attack without hesitation.
Although that would destroy the Neo-Demon's soul, making reading his memories almost impossible, the King in Yellow felt his instincts screaming, urging him to act now.
The Peak Rank 7 God's speed was incredible, and in less than a millisecond, he was in front of Zatiel and fired a punch toward his head.
Zatiel's bloody smile did not falter as that punch came near to his head, and before it could touch him, a blast of red aura emerged for him and crushed half of the God's body!
The King in Yellow and the other Gods saw with utter shock how the Peak Rank 7 God failed to escape the red aura and ended with his entire body and soul pulverized!
Things did not end there, as the aura began to condense around Zatiel, and a red sun appeared in a second.
Ivar the Flawless gave three rewards to the Neo-Demon for his help. Two of them were Beyond Prima Omega Arts for him and Ezequiel, and the last one was a spell capable of unleashing the full might of the Astral Chaos Omega Law once.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe Aeternum Empire's Ancestor stored the spell in the core of the red seed that contained his Beyond Prima Omega Art. That was the reason for the difference between the one obtained by Zatiel and Ezequiel.
When the King in Yellow saw that red sun, he felt a tremendous hatred. Ivar the Flawless was the main reason why the Eldritch life forms failed to overwhelm their enemies in the Prima-Eldritch Universe Final Battlefield.
However, once the initial shock passed, the King in Yellow calmed down, and the smile on his face returned.
"I must say that it is an impressive trump card, but do you think it would be enough? There is no way your soul and body can mobilize such immense power. Your only path now is to blow yourself!"
Zatiel returned the smile to the King in Yellow, and he did not deny those words since they were right. The power of the Red Primeval Sun was too much for him. His body and soul were already on the brink of collapse due to the immense pressure the spell generated.
"Their original purpose was different, but improvisation is the essence of survival."
The King in Yellow heard those words and saw how violet seals began to appear all over Zatiel's body, and he was sure they also reached his soul. Even by his standards, those seals were terrific.
At first, the King in Yellow did not understand their purpose, but then he saw with horror how Zatiel's body moved, adopting a battle pose as the power of the red sun gathered in his right hand.
"IMPOSSIBLE!" The King in Yellow roared those words, as he could not believe that a Rank 6 life form could mobilize a spell capable of achieving Rank 9 battle power.
Under his order, the fourteen Rank 7 Gods and two of those at Rank 8 marched forward and attacked with all they had.
Sadly for the King in Yellow, the Gods were too slow, and Zatiel had already fired his punch forward before they could get near him.
"You don't fuck with a Neo-Demon!"
Those were the last words the Gods and the King in Yellow heard before a tsunami of Astral Chaos clashed against them.
