216 You have to kill him (1/2)

The two groups landed in the forest but maintained a proper distance between them. It was clear they were careful from each other.

Zatiel golden flames were still bathing Heinz, as they have been doing for the last couple of hours. The Cultivator's condition has improved greatly with his right arm already regenerated and most of his wound healed. Although there were still some injuries and his energy pool was low, it won't be long before he returns to his peak.

Nero's wounds were less severe than the ones of Heinz, and the arcs of golden fire had helped him greatly. However, he will still have to rest for some time before being able to activate his eighth wing again.

The one who broke the silence between both groups was not Zatiel or Nero, but Heinz. The Cultivator made the question that has been in his mind for some time now.

”Why does your group hide? Many years ago I fought with a man that was supposed to be the strongest in the world, and he is nowhere near your level. With your battle power, you could have easily killed the Rank 4 members of the Heavenly race one by one until obtaining control of this world.”

Heinz's words made sense. Although the Garden of Creation could create more members of the Heavenly race, the speed at which it would do it would not be fast enough to stop the Fallen advance.

Interest appeared in the eyes of Totto and Zitra when they heard the question of Heinz. However, the expression on the faces of the Angels of Supremacy was one of frustration and indignation.

Nero remained silent and his face was emotionless. There was no need to disclose more information than the one needed for this alliance.

Unfortunately for the Fallen, he was dealing with a group that has a treasure trove of knowledge among them.

”He can't do it. The moment a duke of the Heavenly race is killed in a satellite world due to the actions of a Fallen, batch after batch of Rank 4 Angelic Paragons will be sent from the Heavenly Creator World into that satellite world until every Fallen is slain.”

Understanding appeared in the eyes of the trio when they heard Zatiel's words.

The only ones with the power to mobilize hundreds of Rank 4 life forms are Law Beings. But they usually do not interfere with battles in Middle and Low Worlds.

This was an unspoken rule between the high powers of the universe that was put in place to give their members' proper training.

But there was no way the Law Beings of the Heavenly Creator World will allow a world to be dominated by the Fallen.

”Then why don't just leave the world. Journey through the void is dangerous but is much better than just hiding here.”

Heinz knew that finding a place fit for life was almost impossible without coordinates that will guide you. But he doubted this group could not obtain some with their power.

When Zatiel explained his inability to kill a duke, Nero was not surprised since that was something anyone with enough knowledge about the history of the Heavenly race would know. But the fact the Garden of Creation can track them was something he only knew due to his teacher.

It was due to the Fallen not knowing this, that most of them die when they try to escape from the world and their existence is so well hidden.

Nero could not understand how someone who was just a Rank 3 life form could know that secret.

Zatiel was happy with the expression of the seven winged Fallen. He had to admit he underestimated the power of this group. This was something anyone would have done since there is no way they could have predicted the existence of someone like Nero.

However, despite all of their power, he was still able to identify their goal and how to take advantage of it.
