323 Deal (1/2)

The chains acted with extreme speed and precision. They pierced the forehead, eyes, ears, lungs, heart, and spine of the creature, but that was not all, since they also infiltrated the Underworld Forge.

No blood appeared as the chains penetrated the body of the being Zatiel called Hades. However, if your vision could detect events that occur at a molecular level, then you could see how billions of minute white runes were invading the creature's body along with the Underworld Forge.

The wolf skull's eye sockets glowed with an even brighter light when the creature detected the purpose of the white runes.

”OWOOOOOOOO!” The furious howl of a wolf was heard as the creature opened his jaws, and a domain full of death force was released from him and fought against the black hole.

Zatiel's eyes narrowed as he felt the domain fighting him. His black hole was strong enough to completely seal the body, energy, and soul of a Rank 6 life form without this one being able to put up any form of resistance, but the death force of his enemy was fighting back.

Although he could use the NRAI to annihilate his enemy with a single thought, that was not what he wanted.

He did, however, give the order to form a white cocoon around them. The collateral damage of a fight between Rank 7 life forms could erase life in the Beta Heavenly World.

More and more runes were entering the body of the creature and the Underworld Forge. Hades howled with even more strength, and the death force around him would have contaminated a third of the world if it had not been contained.

The Neo-Demon felt the bones in his arm shattering and being regenerated every second, as he used all his force to maintain his enemy incapacitated, allowing the white runes to invade every part of him.

Finally, after more than ten minutes of struggling, the creature calmed down, and the domain of death force around him faded. The white chains disappeared inside his body and the Underworld Forge.

Zatiel did not stop using his power to seal the creature until he heard the voice of the NRAI in his mind.

”Bip...

Sealing and surveillance runes have invaded every part of the target's existence. The NRAI can now maintain a level of vigilance over the target that not even a Being of Law with his own Omega Law could hide from.

If the Ruler commands it or if certain events were to occur, the NRAI can seal or erase the target's existence in an instant.”

Once he obtained what he wanted, the Neo-Demon pulled his hand away from the creature's head and saw how this one turned to look at him.

Even though they did not speak a single word, just looking at each other's eyes was enough for the duo to understand the nature of the person in front of them.

Eventually, the monster with the wolf skull head clasped his hands and nodded to Zatiel, and the Ancestor of the Neo-Demon race did the same.

”Hades, The True Meaning of Death, greets you,” Hades spoke in an ancient dialect, but to individuals of his power, it was a simple matter of putting a trace of consciousness in his voice to carry the meaning in his words.

”Zatiel Daybreak, Ancestor of the Strongest Race of the Universe, greets you.”

Regardless of their personal feelings, by speaking their names and titles, the duo was demonstrating respect. It was a custom between Rank 8 life form and above.

Existence at that level had lived long enough to understand that it is rare for enmity to last forever, especially if they limit their attacks to each other.

Zatiel waved his hand, and the duo found themselves back on the surface of the Fornes content.

”I am sure I would have remembered meeting someone like you, so this must be the first time we have seen each other. Can you tell me how you recognize me and my forge?” Hades' voice was calm, and there was not even a shred of anger in it. Despite the fact he hated what those white runes did to him, he was not a child who let his emotions control him. As a monster who had lived eons, he knew that the best path is to maintain a cool and pragmatic mindset.

”I broke the shackles of lifespan and rose to might billions of years after the Golden Age of Olympus and your downfall. I learned about you and the forge through historical records left by Olympians and during my journey in the plane you once dominated.”
