Abyssal Lord of the Magi World

After getting rid of The Seven and annihilating every individual that wasn't unconscious or confined, Zatiel could finally start with the last phase of his plan, get his next bloodline.

'It has developed a lot over these last few decades, but it will need at least ten thousand more years before reaching maturity if it only depends on Origin Power.' Zatiel was not disappointed that the Archangel had not reached its final state yet.

When he had just entered the Beta Heavenly World, the Archangel still needed around a million more years before being born, but his actions in this world reduced that time greatly.

Zatiel rose his hand, and with a smile on his face, he clenched his fist. Without a warning, the hundreds of thousands of Angels inside the cocoons were crushed until the only thing that was left of them was pure energy.

The Neo-Demon race needed bloodlines, but even the strongest of the bloodlines inside the star cocoons was only a King bloodline. Zatiel only cared about the Emperor bloodlines inside the moon cocoons, and since he had that deal with the Scientia Kingdom, even the bloodlines of Angels of Supremacy were not important to him.

Under the control of the Neo-Demon, the energy that those Angels generated was sent to the sun cocoon, and this one fiercely devoured it.

When Oliver had asked about the hastened birth of the Archangel mentioned in the prophecy, The Seven told him that the Archangel would feel the death of his people and wake to deliver punishment. The duke wasn't able to figure out the hidden message, but it wasn't his fault. How could he know that every time a member of the Heavenly race died inside the Beta Heavenly World, the Garden of Creation would absorb the energy they release to the world as their bloodlines are ignited and send it to the sun cocoon?.

The war Zatiel initiated inside the Beta Heavenly World resulted in the death of millions of members of the Heavenly race, which hastened the development of the Archangel, and now by using the special features of the sun cocoon, he gave it the final push forward.

After devouring all the energy of those Angels, the sun cocoon trembled, and then it shined with an extraordinary light that filled the entire Garden of Creation.

All the trees and plants touched by that light appeared to have awakened from a long dream. They grew and began to release all sorts of nourishing energies to the air.

The most impressive was the Sacred Sun Tree. Its pink aura became almost four times stronger and passed from a gaseous stage to a semi-liquid one. Its roots, trunk, branches, and twigs grew until they were double their original size.

The crown of the Sacred Sun Tree surrounded the sun cocoon, and the branches near it formed a majestic throne that was filled with pink runes.

Zatiel did not care about the changes in the Garden of Creation, and even the Soul Throne that could enhance his law perception by a factor of ten barely entered his sight. All that mattered to him right now was the sun cocoon, and excitement filled his eyes as he pictured the bloodline inside it.

The Neo-Demon flew until he was right in front of the sun cocoon and then directed all the power of his consciousness on the life inside it. By tapping into the strength of the World Consciousness, Zatiel's perception crossed the plane of subatomic particles, and he could see the fundamental forces of the universe that formed the Archangel's body.

Zatiel's entire focus was on the bloodline inside the Archangel. This Garden of Creation was built by a Being of Laws who had the Shooting Star bloodline, so what Zatiel should see was a metaphysical manifestation of the Superluminal Law and the Eon Law.

However, what appeared in the Neo-Demon sight was a giant star carrying the power to swallow all life. Its goal was to push existence to entropy and bring forth nothingness. Despite being the embodiment of death and destruction, there was no evilness in this star. It acted more like a cosmic force that sought balance.

Inside the star, there were white lines that covered every piece of it, and the power inside them was wider and harder to comprehend, but it was a force connected to every life form in the universe.

'Excellent, the power is even stronger than what we originally believed it could reach!. Although it is not as strong as a Primordial bloodline, it should be at the absolute peak of the Second Order Law Bloodlines. I could not expect less from the first artificial bloodline of the universe. Although they are truly annoying, those greyish bastards are the best when it comes to creation.' A wide smile appeared on Zatiel's face as he perceived the power and laws inside the star.

The bloodline inside the Archangel was not the Shooting Star bloodline, nor the bloodline of the Incarnation of Death and Destruction.

Zatiel's demon bloodline was not impressive, and at most, it could be considered a Third Order Law Bloodline. Of course, this was still amazing since there is almost no Law Bloodline in the demon race, and there is also the fact that although demon bloodlines can be upgraded by absorbing bloodlines originated in Abyss and Baator, it is almost impossible for any of them to pass the Emperor level.

The Shooting Star bloodline was impressive, especially the constitution it granted to the owner, but what the Neo-Demon sought was the culmination of duality, something that could fuse with his Daybreak bloodline and help him take one step closer in that direction.

Unfortunately for Zatiel, such a bloodline did not exist in the universe. Not even the ones birthed by that giant sun fulfilled his requirements. But to the Incarnation of Death and Destruction, there was not such a thing as impossible. Since the bloodline that he wanted did not exist, he would create it.

The bloodline running inside the Archangel was one Zatiel built with the help of the baernaloths. The greatest magic knowledge was used to create a bloodline in which he deposited all of his understanding of the three great laws he used to wreak havoc in the entire universe.

Due to the nature of that bloodline, it needed an incubator to be completed, and which better than the sun cocoon in a Garden of Creation.

The reason why the runic lines did not enter the sun cocoon was that there was no need to act in it since the Archangel had fallen in Zatiel's machinations hundreds of thousands of years ago, the instant the Garden of Creation fed him with his first stream of Origin Power.

The moment the Incarnation of Death and Destruction inscribed the World Rune: Usurpation of the World Consciousness in Juxis, he had also left the artificial bloodline in the world's origin. This one remained dormant until the Being of Laws of the Heavenly race terraformed the world, and then piece by piece, it began to enter the sun cocoon mixed in the Origin Power.

Zatiel created a hole in the sun cocoon and saw a man sitting inside it. He had black hair that extended all the way to his waist and a beautiful face. However, despite his youthful appearance, he had pale white skin and cloudy eyes, as if he lacked the most important thing to a living being. The reason for this was his soul, that was just an agglomeration of soul force incapable of forming an ego.

The state of the Archangel's soul was not a mistake. The artificial bloodline only needed a container and had made sure the life form containing it could not develop a consciousness or individuality.

The Neo-Demon did not care about the Archangel's appearance. His eyes were focused on the wings in his back. They were eight magnificent wings, filled with dark crystal feathers, each of them carved with thousands of small white runes in constant movement.

Those wings gave the illusion of being the night sky during a meteor shower. A destructive aura surrounded them, and their defensive power was not inferior to a Pseudo-Rank 5 Artifact.

Zatiel entered the sun cocoon and closed the entrance behind him. He sat in front of the Archangel, and his Chaotic-Core began to rotate and release a swallowing force.

The Archangel's body trembled, and then dots of red energy began to arise from him and travel to Zatiel's Elemental Chaos Heart. Those dots contained the body, soul, and energy of the Archangel, and they were slowly nourishing the Neo-Demon and changing his bloodline.

'I have eliminated everything that could be used to track me, and my transformation will take a while, so I guess it is time to leave.' Zatiel snapped his finger, and then the runic lines that filled the Beta Heavenly World irradiated a light so potent that it could be seen for millions of kilometers past the Crystal Wall.

'A golden sun filled with life and creation and a star of death and destruction that could cover it. I like the way that sounds.'

That was the last thought Zatiel had before the entire Beta Heavenly World disappeared, leaving an empty section of space surrounded by elemental chaos.
