123 Incarnation of Death and Destruction (2/2)
Zatiel was impressed with the effect of the orb, since to be able to install such an impressive and precise effect on an object, the person who built it has to have a mastery over the laws equal to a Being of Laws.
”Can I have more people hear this information?”
”Up to four people besides you can hear it,” Nathan relaxed greatly when he heard Zatiel answer since it meant that he was willing to continue with the purchase.
Zatiel nodded and sent a message to Ezequiel, Sophia and Dante to come to the hall before passing a crystal to Nathan.
”There is the payment.”
The Magus smiled when he obtained the crystal, and after a quick check, he saved it in his spatial ring.
The three Neo-Demons arrive immediately and Zatiel proceeds to explain why he calls them and the importance of the information through the Chaotic-Core.
”The information that we are about to obtain will help us understand the current situation on the Abyss and the Nine Hells, and will help us in case we made some incursion into those planes.”
The expression of the three become very serious when they hear that, since they understand that their race has a direct connection with the Abyss, and the usefulness of knowing the condition of the plane was immense, so they just nodded and proceeded to sit down.
”You can start.”
Zatiel gave the signal to Nathan and he immediately sent his energy into the orb, making it act.
The orb raises into the air, and after a second a voice comes out. Despite being only a recording, the wisdom in it was so immense that you could feel it.
It was clear that whoever recorded his voice in it, was someone very powerful and whose knowledge greatly surpassed most Being of Laws.
”The Blood Wars is the ancient and endless conflict among the two great fiend planes of the universe, the Nine Hells of Baator populated by the cunning and lawful evil, the devils, and the Infinite Layer of the Abyss home of the mad and chaotic evil, the demons. This fight has existed from the Beginning of Time before the Magi World was even created.
Other evil races had also meddled in this conflict, like the inhabitants of Pandemonium and Hades, but they merely acted as backstage players. The truly involved parties have always been the devils and demons.
Its origin and why even after billions of years it has not stopped were things that have created hundreds of hypotheses among those who research it. My personal opinion is based on three points, geography, idealism, and power.”
When it reached this part, Zatiel's eyes narrowed since as someone that was a main character in the Blood Wars, he knew that this individual's understanding of the conflict was very deep.
”The two planes were connected by the Styx River, and this connection was stable enough to let even billions of demons and devil use it, to sail into the other plane and wreak havoc, and since unlike portal, there was no payment needed, even Rank 1 fiend could use it.
As for idealism, both fiend races believe that they represent the epitome of evil, with the demon defending chaotic evil and the devil supporting lawful evil, making the two races hate each other the moment they are born.
As for the third point and the reason I think Abyssal Lords and Archdevils truly care for this war, was that when a demon kills a devil and vice versa, they become stronger and their soul becomes purer, helping them advance in the Ranks. The reason why this happens, according to my understanding is that in one point devils and demons were a single mighty fiend race, that for an unknown reason split and now when one of these fiends kill its counterparts, they become closer to their origin.”
If before he was surprised, now Zatiel was shocked since what this person just spoke was one of the greatest secrets of the universe, and although he made some mistakes, he was still very close to the truth.
Zatiel had to admit that when it comes to knowledge, this person was possibly the greatest holder in the universe.
”The Blood Wars mostly affected the first of the Nine Hells, Avernus, and the top sixty layers of Abyss, creating great destruction in these two areas and damaging their origins, hence the lack of guarding level Being of Laws in those places.
Despite the great implications that the Blood Wars had, and that it generated ripples that affected the entire universe, it was very rare to see Archdevils and Abyssal Lords act, since the way these fiends achieve their Rank was by signing a contract with their home planes to become guardians of their respective layer fusing their souls with the origin of these, making their power outside them greatly diminished.
But all of that changed when he appeared, the first Abyssal Lord in the history of the universe that achieved the Rank of a Being of Laws, by his own means, without the need to seek the help of the Abyss.
The one whose actions created such big repercussions, that the entire universe was affected by them, the ruler of the first seventy layers of the Abyss, although no one knows his name, due to his actions he was given the title of Incarnation of Death and Destruction!”
