Abyssal Lord of the Magi World

"Go on, interrogate me."

Like Zatiel's eyes, his voice carried no emotions, but it made all those Eternal Detachment life forms feel a creeping coldness reach their hearts.

That was especially true for Krono, whose instincts began to scream danger. While he was extremely arrogant and narcissistic, he knew that he needed to be careful.

While Hyperion had shut down some of the Titan World's defenses so powerful outsiders could enter without a problem, the World Consciousness was still fully alert. That is why the Titan Primarch detected Issac and Salomon's arrival before the duo would even enter the world.

However, no one detected Zatiel or the man accompanying him, and by their timing, it seemed they had been watching from the darkness for a long time.

Krono focused on the warrior next to the Neo-Demon but felt nothing. That only increased his apprehension since there could only be two explanations.

One was that the warrior was a mortal, which would be the most optimistic but least realistic. The only real answer was that Krono's perception was too weak to cross that man's defenses.

"I am waiting," Zatiel spoke for a second time, and while his voice still carried no emotion, it made everybody feel incredibly tense.

Hyperion was about to speak when he felt Issac's eyes. The meaning in the Magus Primarch's stare was clear. He must not interfere under any circumstances, or Zatiel's wrath would not limit to one Titan and could even drown the entire race.

Krono felt a cold sweat running through his back and knew that remaining silent was not an option. Nevertheless, there was still some confidence in him, as he was sure that Zatiel would not dare to attack him, at least not inside the Titan World and under the watch of five Primarchs.

"It is evident by the Primarchs' investigation that the one responsible for the upheaval in the Sacred Trial is the second in command of your race. You must tell us everything you know and be willing to assist us in saving all forty Void Creator geniuses."

Although the Priamarchs did not like him, they had to admit that Krono was very good at scheming. He declared that the ones who found Ezequiel responsible for the trial's change were Issac and the others and used the excuse of rescuing the geniuses to pressure Zatiel.

The Primarchs and the powerhouses focused on Zatiel as they waited for his answer. Krono had basically banded all of them together, so the Neo-Demon's words would impact everybody.

"I don't know why it happened." Zatiel's eyes remained emotionless as he replied.

While that answered nothing, it made Krono smile. Not only did the Neo-Demon not fight to claim Ezequiel's innocence, but he also left a gate open for more accusations.

However, before Krono could start firing charges, Zatiel spoke again.

"My turn. Why hasn't your head left your body?"

An aura that made the entire Titan World tremble accompanied those words, paralyzing all the powerhouses while heavily restricting the Primarchs.

It was a violet aura and it emerged from the warrior that accompanied Zatiel. He moved with such an immense speed that by the time the Primarchs' eyes caught a glimpse of him, he was already in front of Krono.

There was a flaming sword in the warrior's right hand while the left one took the form of dozens of violet branches.

The World Consciousness acted the moment it detected any form of hostility. It unleashed immense pressure against the warrior while at the same time enhancing Krono's power.

Krono felt how his power rose to the Primarch level, but that did not stop the warrior from separating his head from his body.

Just as the Dawn Titan's neck was severed, a majestic multicolored crystal emerged from his head and flashed away at a shocking speed.

The warrior saw how Krono's Inner Universe flew away but did not chase. Instead, he used the violet branches in his left hand to encompass the Dawn Titan's head and body, just as these two crumbled into pieces.

If the warrior had not acted as fast as he did, those pieces would have split in every direction, which Krono would then summon to reconstruct his body.

After that, the warrior returned to Zatiel's side and used his violet aura to fight back the Titan World's pressure while at the same time devouring Krono's body.

Silence reigned as everybody processed what had just happened. A second stage Rank 9 life form was forced to escape with their Inner Universe and lost his body while being inside his homeworld.

Even if Krono managed to form a new body, his battle power would fall to the bottom of Rank 9 for a long time, and he may never return to his peak again.

And the reason for that was that he dared to suggest a plan to harm the Neo-Demon Race.

Issac focused on the warrior with that violet aura before turning toward Salomon. He was not the only one, as the other Primarchs and powerhouses did the same.

The Immortal Primarch was the strongest of them, and he was the only one in their minds that had a chance against the violet warrior.

Salomon took a moment to perceive the warrior's might before answering.

"In the Immortal Plane, I could win. But anywhere else, I could at most exchange a few blows before being forced to run away."

Issac could only sigh when he heard that and turned toward Hyperion. Even if Zatiel's behavior were over the line, a fight would only make things worse for their side.

"Ahhh." Hyperion also sighed, but he understood that the Magus Primarch was right, so he made World Consciousness back down.

Zatiel glanced at the Primarchs as the pressure limiting their power vanished. Next, he turned toward the place where the scar that led into the Sacred Trial used to be.

"None of us knew that would happen, and we were about to rebuke that Dawn Titan for speaking those words when you arrived." Issac knew he needed to clarify things immediately, or else things may become irremediable.

"I know that. If things had been different, the entire world would have already felt my wrath."

Coldness emerged in Zatiel's eyes, and while it was not exactly pleasant, the Primarchs could not help but release a sigh of relief.
