Abyssal Lord of the Magi World

Atlas' lowest floor was a restricted area that almost no one could access. The reason for such high-level security was that it contained that magic tower's energy pool.

As its name suggested, the energy pool took the form of a large reservoir where the Pseudo Rank 7 Magic Tower stored massive amounts of natural energy and Origin Power.

Due to its level, Atlas' energy pool contained extremely potent, wild, and unrefined forces. The liquid that filled the reservoir took a grayish golden color, and the flesh of average Rank 5 life forms would melt if it entered into contact with it.

Even Rank 6 life forms would not dare to maintain extended contact with the grayish golden liquid in the energy pool.

Despite all that, there were two large bodies submerged inside the energy pool at this moment. They were both badly wounded, and the energy that most life forms considered poison due to their wild and unrefined state was like a panacea for them.

Actually, the grayish golden liquid could not directly touch their bodies due to the white lightning and purple fire that wrapped them.

"It will take around two months of healing to stabilize my condition. As for fully healing, that would take about one and a half years. What about you?"

"My physical wounds will stabilize after one month, but the damage to my soul was too significant. Once the army returns and I know everything is fine, I will enter a two-year coma. I should be fine by then."

Two individuals were watching the bodies inside the energy pool. One of them was a humanoid made of purple Mind Force reinforced by yin runes, while the other was energy made flesh and blood.

Shutting down their bodies was the best choice if they wanted to speed up their recovery and purge the eldritch aura infecting them.

Once Zatiel and Ezequiel reached Atlas, they immediately threw themself into the energy pool before stopping all non-vital body functions.

The duo easily hacked the security measures since they knew the magic tower's matrix protocols. Of course, things would have been much harder if Atlas' recognized them as enemies.

Zatiel created an incarnation made of Mind Force and Ezequiel used his Energy Essence Avatar to remain active and still interact with the outer world.

While staring at his body, a thoughtful and solemn expression appeared in the Mind Force's incarnation. After a long period of reflection, he stared at the Energy Essence Avatar.

"What are your thoughts about the last fight?"

The Supreme Neo-Demon turned toward Zatiel, and after a few seconds, coldness appeared in his eyes.

"Too easy."

Lethal wounds covered his entire body, half of his head was missing, and cracks filled the walls of his Inner Law Dimension, and yet the word Ezequiel used to describe the fight was easy.

Anyone else hearing that would think the Supreme Neo-Demon was delusional or too arrogant, but Zatiel knew that was not the case.

Their enemy was the mighty King in Yellow, the Eldritch Universe's Champion, an existence that equaled the Incarnation of Death and Destruction and whose schemes allowed him to infiltrate a Principal World controlled by a Primarch.

The fact that they could defeat him without using their two most powerful trump cards did not make sense. Zatiel and Ezequiel neither activated their Bloodline Apocalyptic Metamorphosis nor summoned their battle partners, Myriad and Entropy.

Although one of the reasons they kept them hidden was that their raw battle power would easily jump beyond the Half Rank 7 level if they activated them, the most important was that they did not want the King in Yellow to learn all their abilities.

Regarding the entity they erased in End Corridor, Zatiel was one hundred percent sure that it was not a mere clone or avatar and was indeed a being with a True Soul made of the King in Yellow's Primordial Essence.

Divide your souls and putting them into different bodies was not a skill that impressed the Neo-Demon. After all, he performed that feat back when he was a mere Rank 3 life form.

Although making those broken souls evolve into True Souls was much more challenging, he could still perform that feat.

Believing that the Eldritch Universe' Champion could not do it as well with the resources of a Principal World at his disposal would be too naive.

Needless to say, Zatiel knew all that before starting the fight in End Corridor, but he still went all out to erase him.

The Neo-Demon knew that the value of each True Soul would be astronomical, and the entity in the 1st layer of the Final Purgatory should have erased all the ones outside of the Divinity World from space-time.

There was one question that plagued the Neo-Demon's mind, and no matter how much he thought, he could not find an answer.

'How does he do it? How can he possess multiple True Souls that act independently in different worlds and stop new egos from rising? He can even keep control of a soul in a different universe.'

Of all the abilities of the King in Yellow, that was the most shocking one for the Neo-Demon.

When he created the Neo-Demon Race, he and the baernaloths worked tirelessly searching for such an ability. After all, what better survival technique would be than to possess multiple souls that do not need to remain in the same body.

Unfortunately, even with all the resources and knowledge of the Prima Universe at his disposal, he failed.

While a Neo-Demon possesses multiple entities made with their Primordial Essence, new egos would form if the True Will is not in the same body as the True Soul and True Doomsday Body.

'That power must certainly not originate in the Prima Universe. The only origin for such a special force that can stand above even Omega Laws must be the primary laws that sustain the Eldritch Universe's law matrix.'

As that thought crossed his mind, a grave light occupied the Neo-Demon's eyes.

The Prima Universe's primary laws were the Law of Space and the Law of Time. They were the core of the law matrix and allowed all other laws and Omega Laws to exert their power and form reality.

Since the Eldritch Universe's level was equal to the Prima Universe, its primary laws should be at the same rank as well, but Zatiel knew very well that was not true.

The Eldritch Universe's primary laws were a force that stood above Omega Laws, something whose power could defy what even Primarchs thought to be impossible. The reason for it was one of the multiverse's greatest secrets.

While every life form thought that the Eldritch Universe was just a foreign universe that happened to cross paths with the Prima Universe, the truth was something different.

Even for Zatiel, that was something he only learned once he fought the final battle in Nexus and learned the truth about the Prima Universe's greatest threat.

The Eldritch Universe, a super universe capable of holding Primarch level entities, is connected to the existence whose name even the Incarnation of Death and Destruction and the Champion of Justice and Order were cautious of mentioning out loud.

'The primary laws of that individual's inner universe are really that incredible?'
