Jormundgander was shocked to hear that voice. He was at the Initial Omega Detachment Stage, yet someone entered his castle without him even noticing them.
However, what truly stunned the Leviathan Primarch was that person entered the Leviathan World, despite Issac and Bahamut covering every corner of the void with their consciousnesses and soul force.
Jormundgander turned around to see the origin of the voice, and the moment he saw that man, his entire body tensed. He adopted a battle stance, and his energy was ready to explode. His so-called savior was the same that shattered his body and soul and forced his cultivation to fall from the Middle Omega Detachment Stage to the Initial.
"What are you doing here!?"
Venganza stared at Jormundgander with a calm smile on his face. He did not raise his guard nor mobilize his energy, making it seem he did not consider the Leviathan Primarch a threat.
"Boss, are you sure this is the right one? He doesn't seem that smart."
A second voice appeared in the room, and only then did Jormundgander notice the red crow on Venganza's shoulder.
"Yes, he is the one, at least the one with the better chance of resisting the journey," Venganza spoke calmly to the red crow, but his eyes never left Jormundgander.
"Well, if you say so. I still believe this old man is too dumb. Just look at him. It seems like he has muscle fibers instead of brain cells." The red crow did not hide his voice as he openly mocked the Leviathan Primarch. He then began to scratch his head as if he owned the room.

Besides, they were inside the Leviathan World, and in it, he could improve his battle power while reducing that of his enemies.
Unfortunately for Jormundgander, he could not even understand the enemies he was facing.
"Hmph, showing such wrath in front of me. I must say that you are either bold or foolish."
Jormundgander did not understand what those words were supposed to mean. In the next second, the red crow's eyes began to glow, and he felt like a fire was ignited inside his body, burning him from the inside out.
That power forced the Leviathan Primarch to redirect almost all of his soul force to resist it. He could barely remain conscious, much less fight back at that point.
"Ira, enough. He could become one of our brothers, and we don't fight among ourselves."
The red crow glanced at Venganza when he heard those words, and then his eyes stopped glowing, allowing the Leviathan Primarch to relax.
"If you say so, Boss."
Jormundgander was having difficulty breathing, and confusion appeared in his eyes as he stared at the red crow.
"You are the Depravita of Wrath, Ira?"
The Leviathan Primarch had been collecting all the information he could from Venganza, so he was aware of the existence of the Depravita of Wrath, but the red crow was nothing like the red humanoid that fought so many times by Zatiel's side.
"Oh, my new look surprised you." A smug smile appeared in the red crow as he carried on. "Hahaha, I know, my new royal appearance is captivating. Maybe you are not so dumb after all."
Jormundgander could not hide the confusion that assaulted him. Not only was his appearance different, but the personality of the Depravita of Wrath was nothing like the bloodthirsty one he deployed in the past.
"Sometimes, I wonder whether I should start calling you Orgullo." Venganza only shook his head as he heard Ira bragging.
"Hahaha, Boss, you should let go of that monkey-build. Birds are much cooler."
Jormundgander stared at the interaction of the duo with a sense of disbelief. They were supposed to be Veganza and Ira, the two greatest monsters of the Prima Universe. Entities that even the Universe Will loathe.
After a moment, the Leviathan Primarch took a deep breath as a light of resignation appeared in his eyes. In a moment, his appearance full of vitality grew older, as if he could no longer resist the burden assaulting his soul.
"Are you going... to kill me?" Jormundgander had already experienced Ira's might and understood that the idea he could win against the duo was laughable. Since running was not possible due to the presence of Issac and Bahamut in the void, he was at Vengaza's mercy.
And even if by some miracle he escaped, what remained for him? Run and hide forever, always dreading the day Zatiel Daybreak would find him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIra and Venganza stopped their conversation when they heard those words, and the first began to move his head in confusion.
"Did you not hear what Boss said at the beginning? We are here to offer you a path to salvation. I mean, if we had wanted to kill you, we would have destroyed your soul and Omega Law before you could even realize what was happening."
Unlike Ira, Venganza smiled as he understood the thoughts crossing Jormundgander's mind.
"I did not come to offer you hope, only to destroy it later and drown you deeper into an ocean of despair. I did come to save you. However, I warn you. The path ahead will be worse than death, and your current self will perish. However, if you manage to cross it, you will reincarnate as one of us and join..." Venganza made a slight pause at that point as an odd expression appeared on his face. On the other hand, Ira showed a radiant smile full of pride.
"Join Sundered Night."
Jormundgander raised his eyebrows as he heard that name. He honestly found it somewhat childish.
"What, do you have a problem with my awesome name for our group!?" Ira's eyes glowed with a red light as he noticed Jormundgander's expression, making this one immediately shake his head.
"Ahh, I don't know why I was thinking when I let you name us."
"Hmph, Boss, your naming skill sucks. What better name for those like us, who were born from sins, than Sundered Night."
There were many questions on Jormundgander's mind as he heard the duo chatting so calmly, but one stood above all.
"What is Sundered Night's purpose?"
Venganza smiled as he heard that question since it was something he and Ira spent months wondering after they rose above the limitations of their race.
"We will live our life to the fullest!"
