104 Fusion of magic and science (1/2)

When Heinz heard Zatiel words, coldness and killing intent begun to appear on his eyes, and due to the intensity of his emotions and the immense power carrying inside him, a dark red aura was released from his body.

The Law of Fate is an extremely complex law to comprehend and improve, and yet the battle power it granted is average at best.

The reason for that is due to the Law of Fate not being meant to be used in battle but to perform divinations, to seek fortune, and scrying into the future see the possible outcome of your decisions and those of your enemies.

And if your control and mastery over this law were great enough, you could use it to alter the destiny of other people and your own, of course, doing that carries a heavy price and it reached the point that if your target or the individuals around him were too powerful, the backlash could kill you.

The Law of Fate affected the path of every mortal, and it is only by becoming stronger that you could free yourself from its influence.

It is only when someone reaches Rank 4, that they are truly free from the Law of Fate interference. By then, even if you kill one of his chosen ones, there will be no repercussions at all.

Although there are exceptions, most of those that seek control over this law are manipulative individuals that enjoy the sensation of control over other people live. That plus their paranoid personality makes them a very difficult opponent.

After all, what is the use of being hundreds of times stronger than your opponent and be able to kill him by just looking at them, if you don't even know their appearance?.

Heinz was an extremely proud person, and it was in his right since his talent could be considered top tier even by the standards of High Worlds.

So the fact that someone has been trying to manipulate him, generated an immense fury in him.

Unfortunately, he had no concrete information about the Sage, and the only person he suspected that has contact with him, was not someone he could just go and forcefully interrogate.

In the end, he looked at the man beside him and he could see that he had already started to formulate a plan to handle the situation.

”What do you think we should do, brother?”

”We cannot reveal the information that we have obtained to anyone. I can guess that the relation between Salazar and the Sage is not simple, and when we face him he will probably help him against us since the Sage is probably the reason behind his meteoric rise.”

The voice of Zatiel carried an immense coldness and it was obvious that his anger was not inferior to the one of Heinz.

”So from now on, he is our enemy as well. If you ever find yourself in the position to kill him with complete certainty, do it, and the same goes for his guard Frederick.”

Even if he had no certainty that Salazar and Frederick had ever done anything against him, they were connected to his enemy and since they were powerful enough to become a hindrance, Zatiel did not think twice about eliminating them.

He may have changed during his time in this world and have found people he was willing to risk his life for, but he was still the Abyssal Lord that once destroyed an entire world only because his enemy was trying to hide in it.

Heinz was a little surprised by Zatiel bloodthirsty way of handling things, but the cultivator was not someone indecisive and after a moment he nodded, and as he did a murdering light was reflected on his eyes.

”You should send all your intelligence assets, to keep watch on both Salazar and Frederick, and collect all the information they can about the people they interact. Make sure that they understand that by absolutely no reason they can directly interact with either of them and if possible maintain a distance of at least fifty meters from them.” Zatiel tone was heavy and the expression in his face showed how serious he was.

If the people sent to gather intel were to interact with any of them, Zatiel was sure that the Sage will notice something was happening, and he could use the Law of Fate to trace the spies back to Heinz.

Once that occurred, trying to find out his identity will become a hundred times harder.

Heinz was not as well informed about the users of the Law of Fate as Zatiel, but he was able to guess the reason for his instructions so he made a mental note to make sure that his people understand the importance of their mission and that there is no room for mistakes.

Although the cultivator did not say a word and it was no show in his face, Zatiel could see the doubt that was filling his mind.
