"I can tell you how to bring her back to life!"
Zatiel's hands froze when he heard those words. His willpower had risen to a level where he could spend eons in complete solitude without it affecting his ego, but the image of the first woman he ever truly loved moved his heart and soul.
The Flame Imperator smiled when he saw that, and a flash of viciousness crossed his eyes. His mind worked faster than ever before in his entire life due to the threat of execution.
He was smart enough to understand that Zatiel's had the power to devour him, gaining all his memories or experiences, so he could not offer him something accessible that way. Besides, in all honesty, he had absolutely no idea how to recover the soul of someone erased from existence.
Lying would not work since someone like Zatiel, who evolved to the Fourth Realm in the Path of Concept, could easily see beyond any falsehood. That is why the Flame Imperator gave the most honest response possible.
"The one I serve has the power to do anything, even the impossible. It can bring that woman back to life if you are willing to pay the price." The Flame Imperator's smile widened as he saw Zatiel looking down.
'Yes! As long as there is doubt, I can work. You have a power that defies logic but have lived too little, and your mind is still susceptible to the people around you.'
The Flame Imperator took a deep breath as he uttered the following words.
"You can seal me and wait until its arrival. I am sure it will grant you a meeting if you return me alive."
Although the Flame Imperator would like to go free, he knew that there was no way Zatiel would accept something like that, so he had to go for the second-best thing.
"The price will not be low, but as long as you are willing..."
"Hahaha."
The Flame Imperator wanted to strike while the iron was hot but could not do it, as a laugh interrupted him. A horrible feeling assaulted his heart as he saw the Neo-Demon Ancestor's head rising.
"¡HAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Zatiel laughed with even greater strength, and there was nothing but amusement on his face as he stared at the Flame Imperator.
"Just how stupid do you think I am? First, I already have several possible ways of bringing her back. Even if they do not work, why would I ask for help from your master when there is a better way?" Zatiel saw the Flame Imperator's confusion and shook his head.
"If my way doesn't work, I will go to your master, kill it, and steal everything from it, including its knowledge and power."
"HOW DARE YOU SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT!" The Flame Imperator went berserk as he heard how Zatiel spoke about its master. All the fear of death vanished, replaced by mad rage.
"Just die." Zatiel did not have the desire to waste any more time with the Flame Imperator and clasped his hand, crushing the sun
"Universal Justice Supernova!"
"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!"
Along with those words, an explosion of purple-golden fire consumed the Flame Imperator, obliterating every piece of his existence at an atomic level.
That explosion was like a beacon of light that crossed an immense distance, drawing the attention of countless entities that live in the Emptiness. There was no shortage of creatures that rose beyond the limits of the Third Realm among them, but when they saw the winged man with the golden crown, none dared to come any closer.
Zatiel felt those gazes but did not worry since none could threaten him. Even among Fourth Realm entities, he was a powerhouse!
Besides, the Neo-Demon Ancestor had more important things to do. He opened his palms, and the sun he formed by using all his power, and which he triggered its supernova, now became a small black hole with a purple-golden event horizon.
Enlightenment returned to Zatiel's eyes as he stared at the miniature black hole, and his understanding of his power improved.
"I desired a power that could help me stop those one hundred Quietus Suns, and my existence gave birth to that purple particle. Then I desired the power to destroy the Flame Imperator, and the particle evolved into that sun. Now that I want to devour the pieces of the Flame Imperator spread in the Emptiness after his destruction, I obtained this black hole."
Zatiel's body trembled since his existence grew even more powerful when he understood how life forms like him used their power. He just had to want something, and it would happen as long his existence was powerful enough.
Reaching the Fourth Realm in either the Law Path or Concept Path would only make you stronger than life forms in the Third Realm but would not make you fundamentally different.
Only when you enter True Rank 10 in both paths and fuse them that you truly evolve and obtain access to the power that made you undefeatable by anyone beneath the Fourth Realm.
"Omnipotence!"
If Zatiel were to face the entire Prima Universe's forces, including Sundered Night, he would just have to desire a power that could freeze all of them in time. It might drain every iota of power in his existence, but it would allow the Neo-Demon Ancestor to end the entire universe without suffering a single wound.
Zatiel felt a thrill of excitement running through his soul as he understood that he had the strength to do the impossible, like bringing someone who no longer existed back to life.
'Just wait for me.'
A great part of the Neo-Demon Ancestor wanted to rush into the Prima Universe, but he had something else to do in the Emptiness.
The Neo-Demon Ancestor raised his right hand holding the black hole, and this one drew the particles left from the Flame Imperator's destruction. They would disperse into nothingness, and there was no way the Flame Imperator could come back to life, but he needed those memories.
Zatiel already had the power to kill True Rank 10 life forms, but the Flame Imperator's Master should be an entity like him, someone capable of Omnipotence. Any information he could get would be of immense help.
