One must not forget that the Fragment of the Universe Foundation inside the Underworld Relic also has part of the Soul Gem System inside it. Of course, no one other than the twins' group knows about it at the moment. Kafan was aware of it since the twins' told him, but he wouldn't mention that part since the system was still a secret. (Chapter 1999)

"In the end, the Fragment of the Universe Foundation was the only thing really capable of powering the Relic, so we sealed it inside. As for the Living Soul Devil information, I shared it with Black Locust and the other Semi-Celestials from the Underworld. We didn't know what to expect from a Living Soul Devil, but since normal Soul Devils were already such a pain in the ass, we never gave it a try... until the war in the Realm of Gods happened. Of course, by then, I was already on the other side of the Universe, so I have nothing to do with its creation."

Black Locust nodded. "We believe it came from outside of the Universe since we don't know any Devil from the past or the present capable of creating such a thing. We even wondered if it was something related to the Vruves at some point."

Soul Gem quickly shook his head. "No. I was a close confidant to Tuana back when she had been banished. I can guarantee she didn't have something like that with her. The Underworld Relic can increase the Devil Race's power by so much that it would be a treasure in any Universe you visit, and that includes Turmaloid. They would never let her have such a thing, especially after being banished."

Before anyone could ask, Soul Gem also added. "And don't ask me why she was banished. It's not that I don't want to tell you, but that the reason is a secret I'm not aware of. Not even Leandro, who is even closer to Tuana than I was, knows it, I believe. Tuana never talked about it. Back when we were together, we all understood it was kind of a taboo topic, so we never inquired, either."

Some were skeptical of Soul Gem's words, but no one insisted on the topic. That wasn't why they were gathered here. "So, Soul Gem, you intend to use that thing."

Soul Gem nodded with a serious expression. "Yes. However, it will only be in a last-case scenario. I prepared several contingencies that should allow us to use our numbers to fend off the enemy until they are forced to turn back. But... I haven't been out of the Universe since we arrived with Tuana, so I don't know what kind of technologies are still out there. If push comes to shove, I will have Rugo release the Living Soul Devil within the enemy armies."

Kafan pondered a bit. "It is not a bad idea, but there is a problem... It will obviously cause a lot of chaos in the enemy. However, it will also grow even stronger after absorbing so many Living Souls, very strong ones, I might add. Would it reach the level of a Semi-Celestial? If that happens and then it turns its attention to us, what will we do? Soul Gem, can you seal it in the same way you did before?"

Soul Gem went silent for a moment. "I can't." He decided he wouldn't lie. "It only worked once because the situation allowed it. You had fought it and forced the Living Soul Devil into a dead-end situation. When I helped it escape, I was able to seal it away because it was truly weak. If it manages to wipe out the enemy forces, then there is no way the same method would work again."

Soul Gem continued. "Also... I don't know if it can reach the level of a Semi-Celestial. That's why it is a gamble. We might truly be killing ourselves once we release it. Well, by the time we decide to use it, that means we are in a pretty bad situation. If we lose, we will be destroyed anyway once the Chaos Origin Source is taken away. It is a bet worth taking at that point."

Gragatou didn't mind it. "Then we shall do it if we reach that point. Everyone, once the Living Soul Devil is released, we will need to press the Semi-Celestials of the enemy forces so that they can't stop it. Remember, when it appears, don't hold back. Make everything in your power to force the enemy Semi-Celestials' attention to stay on you."

Everyone in the room nodded, and the discussion regarding the Soul Devil concluded there.

Back in the present time, everything was going according to the plan. The Living Soul Devil kept getting stronger, and not even the Peak Divinity Realm Experts from Garisan in their armors. Millions were dying every minute, and the speed it happened only increased. "Fuck!" One of the Semi-Celestials from Garisan, a Demon Beast called Oshalf, roared in disbelief. He had never seen anything like the Living Soul Devil. However, he simply couldn't turn his attention away from his opponent.

*Boom!*

Suddenly, an enormous explosion of elements and laws happened near him and his opponent, forcing the two away from each other. Oshalf immediately looked to the side, just in time to see another Semi-Celestial there. The newcomer looked at him right after and used his Divine Sense to speak to Oshalf. 'Go, Oshalf, I will hold them! Stop that thing!'

Oshalf was taken aback. 'Narka, you can't fight two at the same time! You aren't the combat typel

'Yes,' Narka nodded. 'But I don't need to win. I just need to buy you some time. I will sacrifice most of my comprehension of laws in the next minute to make sure they don't bother you. There is no other choice. I can comprehend everything again in the future. Now, go! You have the strongest attack power among us all. If anyone can get rid of that thing instantly, that is you!'

Oshalf gritted his teeth and nodded. 'Alright!'
