126 Battle at the end of Hell (2/2)
The ruler of Nessus was the Prince of Evil, the one called the Supreme Master all of Devils, the Archdevil Overlord Asmodeus.
Asmodeus was supposed to be the strongest and more capable devils that as ever existed, but due to certain reasons, he was unable to leave Nessus with his true body so he was forced to use avatars to interact with the other levels of Baator, as well some planes and worlds.
The moment the Incarnation of Death and Destruction entered Nessus, he attacks immediately with a ferocity and power so immense, that even those watching Baator from the void, could see the explosion happening in the ninth hell.
The explosions continued for a long time and the repercussions that it had in the other levels of Hell were not small, since it practically created massive earthquakes all over Baator, killing trillions of devils.
When the explosion finally ended and silence installed itself fro a couple of days, everyone thought that the fight was over, but then from Nessus, an aura so evil and foul that even Archdevils and Abyssal Lords would found it disgusting appeared and it extended until it covered all of the Nine Hells of Baator.
For a moment some people thought that it was the aura that the Incarnation of Death and Destruction was generating after killing Asmodeus, and possibly devouring his soul, but they immediately discarded that idea, when they saw how a beam of dark energy was fired from Nessus, with so much power that it left Hell, and extended into the void.
At the end of the beam of energy was the Incarnation of Death and Destruction and his condition was unknown since he's body vanished in the void instantly.
Something peculiar that happen was that at the same time that the evil aura was generated from Nessus, a strand of the same type of aura was felt from the last layers of the Abyss.”
Even when the recording mentioned the Incarnation fo Death and Destruction, being thrown out of Hell by a beam of energy so powerful that it could destroy a High World, Zatiel expression remained indifferent, but when it mentioned the strand of that evil aura in the Abyss, everything changed.
For an instant he was unable to control his emotions and his fists were clenched so hard, that blood came out of them, but even then his expression remained peaceful, not letting the others know of his state.
Zatiel eyes were calm but in his heart, a coldness and desire of destruction so immensely high was born, that occupied his every thought.
After a moment, Zatiel was able to calm down his emotions and continue listening to the recording.
”Up to this day, despite the several attempts made by several powerful individuals, the origin of that evil aura is unknown.
The condition of the Incarnation of Death and Destruction was unknown and probably very precarious, but it was confirmed that he was still alive since vestiges of his presence were found from time to time in different parts of the universe.
More than ten million years have passed from that final fight in Nessus. During that time, new Archdevils have been born and they have implemented a periodic purge of the weakest devils to feed them to Hell and increase the speed of recovery in the plane.
Due to its weakened state, other worlds made incursions into Hell from time to time, and since the plane is uninhabitable to every race beside fiends, the ones who pillage in it, only do it for a couple of days before leaving.
As for the Abyss, their damage was greatly inferior to Baator and since there was no loss in Abyssal Lords, it was able to return to normal functions after a couple of hundreds of thousands of years.”
After saying those last words, the orb created a map of energy above him, in which the geography of Hell and the Abyss were present, before returning to Nathan's hand.
Zatiel commands the chip to scan the maps, before standing up.
”I am very satisfied with the information. I hope that we can work more in the future.” There was a peaceful smile on Zatiel face as he spoke
Nathan knew to identify the hidden meaning in Zatiel word, so he stood up and gave a small bow.
”I also hope that our transactions are prosperous and long. I will not take more of your time.” Nathan smiled as he left along, David, and Henry.
Once it was only the three Neo-Demons in the room, Zatiel spoke to them
”Remember, even if you are at the peak of the universe, one wrong step and you can fall and lose everything. In two months we will march to the Sinux Magic Tower, and leave this world, be sure to be prepared before that.”Zatiel didn't wait for them to reply and went to his laboratory.
The three Neo-Demons did not find anything weird in his advice, but when they saw his eyes, and feel the emptiness in them they were shocked.
This was the first time that they have ever see him truly angry, and although they were curious about the cause, they knew that it was not the moment to bother him, so they all went to make their final preparations.
