Abyssal Lord of the Magi World

True Godkings had superb control over their emotions, so the pain and sadness needed to reach the soul for something to disturb them.

Tears fell from Ezequiel's eyes as he remembered a woman of blue hair.

Ezequiel and Sophia bickered all the time as they were young but knew they could always count on each other as they followed Zatiel on his missions. Although the duo grew more distant as the Supreme Neo-Demon's power rose, he always considered her an important member of his family.

"Ahhh," The Supreme Neo-Demon released a sigh that froze the void. Yet, that gloom did not last long as a burning rage soon appeared in his eyes.

"BOOM!" An explosion that shattered the laws occurred as Ezequiel made his power explode. White and black lightning bathed his body as Six Suns of Origin materialized around his forehead.

The shock waves that emerged from that blast sent the Rank 8 powerhouses near Ezequiel flying away, with some coughing mouthfuls of blood. None of the Beyond the Shackles' life forms showed anger. The only emotions in their eyes were awe and admiration as they felt the immense power of the Supreme Neo-Demon.

Ezequiel's fury was so intense that he did not even notice those Rank 8 powerhouses. The only thing in his eyes was the Final Gate, more accurately, the leader of the Eldritch Universe on the other side.

"King... in... Yellow." The Supreme Neo-Demon spoke each of those words with monstrous killing intent. Every part of his soul wanted him to go into the Eldritch Universe and wreak absolute havoc in it, killing everything in his sight.

Luckily, the Sun of Freedom allowed Ezequiel to regain control of his emotions quickly. The killing intent and fury were still there, but they could not distract him.

Ezequiel then turned toward Venganza. He saw how Zatiel chose to become a Depravita to gain the power to mobilize the Incarnation of Death and Destruction and seek revenge against the King in Yellow.

"I am sorry I was not there when you needed me the most. However, apologies are meaningless now. I know what to do."

Venganza's eyes narrowed as he heard those words and saw Ezequiel's eyes burning with a monstrous sense of commitment.

"Hmph, what is there to feel sorry about? It is not like you had the power to save her, and in the end, I fulfilled my revenge on that man and sundered his entire universe."

Ezequiel felt the piercing gaze from the Depravita of Revenge. Even Primarchs would grow nervous under those eyes, but he only showed coldness.

"That apology was not for you. I was talking to Master."

Venganza felt bothered by Ezequiel's gaze and the meaning behind those words.

"I don't like your words, boy, not one bit." The Depravita of Revenge had just spoken when his body trembled, and a demonic dragon emerged from it.

The Primordial Body Incarnation sighed as he saw the interaction between Ezequiel and the Depravita of Revenge. He expected this to happen since, unlike the Sky Breakers, there was no way someone like Invictus would accept Venganza.

"Ezequiel, you see..." The Primordial Body Incarnation knew he needed to act fast, but he could not finish his sentence as Ezequiel interrupted him.

"I know who you are and understand your nature. That is why I am willing to show you some level of respect. But don't make a mistake; in my eyes, you are not Zatiel Daybreak. You are not the man that took me out of that common pit and guided me during my youth, and you will never be Master."

Utter and absolute shock appeared in the eyes of everybody watching the interaction between Venganza, the Primordial Body Incarnation, and Ezequiel.

Invictus' loyalty toward Zatiel Daybreak was legendary. That is why none of the Primarch ever thought they could bring that monstrous genius into their powers.

However, those words made it clear that Invictus would never accept the Primordial Body Incarnation, much less the Depravita of Revenge, as Zatiel Daybreak.

The Primordial Body Incarnation shared that shock. As for Venganza, a smile appeared on his face, and he began to laugh.

"Hahahaha, you are a courageous brat. I don't care about your words and much less your opinion. I am Zatiel Daybreak, and I don't need the approval of anyone. If you don't want to follow me, fine, but disappear from my sight now!" Venganza's smile did not vanish as he spoke those words, but there was pure coldness and killing intent in his eyes.

Ezequiel saw all that, and he responded with the same. He smiled and unleashed all his killing intent.

"I also would rather not get involved with a Depravita. Unfortunately, I don't have a choice. I can not let someone like you control my race."

Venganza's eyes widened as those words caught him totally off guard. And the next second, he stood up as all emotion vanished from his eyes. If before Ezequiel bothered him, now this one drew his wrath.

"Do you dare to repeat those words, boy?" The Depravita of Revenge's voice was so cold that it made all the powerhouses in the void that heard it tremble.

The Primordial Body Incarnation saw how everything was advancing and knew what Venganza would do next. The Depravita of Revenge was even more ruthless than the Incarnation of Death and Destruction. He did not need his soul force to control his emotions since there were none.

Unfortunately for the demonic dragon, there was not much he could do as there was no way Supreme Neo-Demon would yield to Venganza.

Ezequiel looked directly into the Depravita of Revenge's eyes as his eyes began to shine with a silver light so powerful that they illuminated the void for billions of kilometers. All forms of shackle and restriction would shatter under its might.

"I, Ezequiel Invictus, the Supreme Neo-Demon, True Godking of Freedom, challenge you to a battle to decide the True Leader of the Neo-Demon Race!"
