Chapter 404: Infernal war (2/2)
”The rest of the Neo-Demon race can limit itself to annihilate the dark races, but they will not be the only obstacle in our path to the utopian universe.
There will be innocent people, good people, who will not accept becoming one of us. They will have many reasons for that decision, but it will no matter.
Only a flaw is needed for the utopian universe to crumble into chaos, so those who refuse to become Neo-Demons would have to cease to exist.
Ezequiel, you are the strongest of my people, so you will have to share that responsibility with me.
You and I will become sin-eaters. We will do the horrible things so that the rest of our race can remain clean.
It will be awful and disgusting, but it will be worth it if we achieve our goal.
A universe where no child will have to starve to death while garbage eats until they puke or be sold as a piece of meat to satisfy depraved desires. Families will not be split apart because of the whims of those in a higher position. Boys won't kill each other for reasons they can't even understand. Small ethnicities will not have to fear the madness of the majority.
I AM WILLING TO DO ANYTHING TO ACHIEVE THAT!” Zatiel's eyes shone with golden light full of resolution as he spoke those words.
Ezequiel did not say a word, but his entire existence unleashed absolute resolve. He turned around and was about to leave when he heard Zatiel speak again.
”We will do evil things, but that doesn't mean we have to become evil. Always remember why we do those things, and if it ever comes the day when you question whether your actions are worth the prices, forget everything and follow your heart. If you end up committing a mistake, I will always be by your side to fix it.”
Ezequiel froze for a moment when he heard that. He focused on Zatiel and gave a bow before leaving.
Zatiel sighed as he saw the Supreme Neo-Demon disappear. He did not feel happy by burdening the person he trusted more than anyone with such an unpleasant task, but there was no one else whose will could maintain itself righteous despite immersing itself in the darkness.
The next second, Zatiel erased all unnecessary thoughts of his mind and focused on his techniques while the rest of his body gathered Elemental Chaos and Origin Power.
He spent three months with his eyes closed before finally opening them, and his aura became sharper and more dangerous.
'Soul Eradicator, Heart Seal, and Beyond Reality have advanced to the second level. I should be able to fight with strong Devil Marquises and kill the weak ones.'
Advancing the techniques to the next level improved their efficiency. Soul Eradicator could be charged with more Mind Force and do more damage, while Heart Seal could control more people.
Beyond Reality's power was the same, but the requirements to establish the connection diminished.
Zatiel used the NRAI to teleport to the World Gate and immediately traveled to Dis.
The moment he arrived in his castle, his perception covered the entire city. He saw hundreds of lesser devils' squads flying away under the guidance of Rank 4 Devils.
Despite being absent for more than a year, Zatiel knew of the war happening in the Yuru continent.
Duke Krior had declared war against the Darkness Poison Duke a few weeks after Zatiel became a Marquess.
Zatiel being absent at the beginning of the war did not matter since it mainly involved lesser devils and Rank 4 Devils. However, it finally escalated to the point where Devil Marquises appeared on the battlefield.
