Chapter 592 - Ouroboros Protocol
"Hades, The Neo-Demon Realm Guardian Spirit, greets the Lord."
Zatiel felt the solemn aura with which Hades spoke those words, but still, he could not help but giggle when he saw the attire.
"Hahaha, what a spooky mask."
Hades' body stiffened when he heard those words, and he felt a little embarrassed.
"Please, my Lord, don't make fun of me. This was the normal attire I used before my fall."
The Neo-Demon did not keep bothering the Ancient Being of Laws. A serious expression appeared on his face as he focused on important matters.
"What battle power can your Realm Avatar express?"
"I completed the First Level of the Realm Avatar Technique. Thanks to the Realm Avatar's unique constitution, the Inner Black Hole Universe, and the help of that little one, I should be able to exert a battle power close to the Late Beyond Falsehood Stage."
Like the Void Creator Rank split into Void Stage, Seed Stage, and Rudimentary Form Stage, the Beyond the Shackles Rank also contained three stages.
The first stage of Rank 8 was the Beyond the Falsehood Stage, next was Beyond the Limit Stage, and finally Beyond Redemption Stage. An important point to consider is that each Rank 8 life form had a unique cosmic force at their disposal that could help them deploy the full power of their existence.
That made even a recently advanced Rank 8 life form much more powerful than a Limit Void Creator despite both being at the Law Realm. Even Zatiel, whose battle power surpassed the Limit Rank 7, could only fight the weakest Beyond the Shackles' existence.
By completing the First Level of the Real Avatar Technique, Hades could create a Limit Rank 7 Avatar, which should not allow him to cross into the next Rank in battle power.
However, just like the physical body of a Dawn Titan is superior to that of a Magi, this Realm Avatar's constitution obtained unique properties thanks to the sapling's branch, Tier 11 Stars, and Inner Black Hole Universe.
Zatiel was pleasantly surprised by Hades' words. That battle power surpassed his, which would allow him to rely on the Ancient Being of Laws until his advance to Rank 7.
"What about the Neo-Demon Realm's force you can exert in the rest of the Prima Universe?"
The strength of the Realm Avatar and the power Hades as the new World Consciousness of the Neo-Demon Realm could exert in the Prima Universe were closely related as they both depended on his soul force.
Completing the First Level of the Realm Avatar Technique was fairly easy for the Ancient Being of Laws since his soul force had reached Rank 8, but the following levels were much more demanding.
"My Lord, I can unleash a First Stage Rank 9 spell in any corner of the Prima Universe. However, I will need to know the exact coordinates beforehand, and it will take me around three minutes to fire it. Also, I can only do it three times a day, as the pressure it generates in me is immense. As my soul force grows, I should be able to fire stronger and faster spells."
Zatiel could not help but sigh when he heard that. The spells' power and amount per day were fine, but their load-time meant they would be useless against Rank 8 life forms.
A Beyond the Shackles life form can dodge anything that took more than a microsecond to reach them. There was no way they would remain in specific coordinates for three entire minutes during a battle.
"It is a little disappointing, but I expected such a thing. I guess its main use will be as a siege weapon." Zatiel shrugged his shoulders and was about to pass to the next topic when he saw the Realm Avatar act oddly.
Hades noticed Zatiel's curious stare and immediately explained his behavior.
"Lord, are you aware of every single action taken by the NRAI during your absence?"
Zatiel's eyes narrowed when he heard that, and a solemn expression appeared on his face. When he reached the Neo-Demon Realm and his A.I. Chip connected to the NRAI, he saw the log and knew every action taken by the last one, or at least that should happen.
Hades fused with the NRAI, becoming one with it, making his access to the information guarded in the artificial intelligence absolute.
"What is the problem?" The Neo-Demon knew Hades would not bring up that question if nothing was wrong.
The Ancient Being of Laws made a pause as he went through the information again, making sure he did not make a mistake.
"My Lord, nine hundred eight years and twenty-three days ago, the NRAI triggered something called Ouroboros Protocol. Yet, there is no record of it in the log, and I can not find any details about this protocol."
Zatiel's eyes widened when he heard that, and his body shook. Nine hundred eighty years ago and twenty-three days ago, the same day he perished at the hands of the King in Yellow, the NRAI activated the Ouroboros Protocol.
He put the NRAI in place, engraving every command and protocol in it, and there was no doubt in his mind that he never put one with the name Ouroboros.
'The Primordials inside the Tier 12 Stars and now this Ouroboros Protocol.' Thousands of thoughts crossed Zatiel's mind as he attempted to figure out what was happening with the Neo-Demon Realm.
Coldness invaded the Neo-Demon's mind as he sent a command and teleported into the Will Forging Ocean. The NRAI did those actions automatically once a Neo-Demon sent the order, and there was no need for Hades to interfere.
The Ancient Being of Laws could see every corner of the Neo-Demon Realm and saw how Zatiel immediately headed for the Final Purgatory.
Although the Ancient Being of Laws was curious about what happened, Zatiel blocked his vision after entering the pyramid.
It was only after an hour that Hades saw Zatiel emerge, and he could not help but feel some fear when he saw the Neo-Demon's emotionless eyes.
When Zatiel showed anger or coldness, the Ancient Being of Laws did not feel apprehensive, but when there was nothing in those eyes, he knew that something that touched the bottom line of the Neo-Demon happened.
Zatiel appeared in front of Hades the next second and immediately spoke.
"Let's go to the Magi World. It is time to end that stupid war."
Hades immediately nodded, and a Rank 9 Teleportation covered the Realm Avatar and Neo-Demon.
Zatiel felt the solemn aura with which Hades spoke those words, but still, he could not help but giggle when he saw the attire.
