Inside a blue dome in the Jupi continent, Zatiel spent the last month waiting for his body to regain the ability to move and for his soul dimension to stabilize.

The damage the Pit Fiend produced with the Eldritch Forbidden Order Word was immense. Even with the help of his bloodline and focusing solely on healing, the Neo-Demon was still far from being fine.

Zatiel seemed unconscious, but the truth was that his awareness worked perfectly and would have awoken him the moment a threat got near.

Luckily, the Jupi continent doesn't get many visitors, and consciousnesses beneath Peak Rank 6 could not perceive the blue dome.

Thirty-four days after killing the Darkness Poison Duke, Zatiel finally opened his eyes. There was an expression of extreme discomfort on his face due to his soul wounds.

He found it hard to stand up, and sudden moves caused severe pain. The Neo-Demon managed to regenerate his extremities, but the wounds on his inner organs would need more time to heal.

Other than the Neo-Demon, there were only two other figures inside the dome. One was the Pit Fiend's mummified body. Despite the horrible condition of the corpse, there was still some vitality in the organs.

'It seems that the Darkness Poison Duke's death stopped the backlash that consumed his life and soul force.' Zatiel smiled after determining the condition of the Pit Fiend's corpse, since other than the heart, the entire body would be his.

The next second, the Neo-Demon's eyes landed on the last being inside the dome.

Eon Six's physical condition was better than that of Zatiel due to his higher physique. All of his external wounds had healed, and even the arm he lost during the fight had regrown.

However, the state of his soul was an entirely different matter. The Rebirth Eye showed Zatiel the large cracks on Eon Six's soul dimension and the wounds in his True Soul.

The Neo-Demon's True Soul may be weaker than that of Eon Six, but the blue humanoid had the help of the True Will. Right now, there was golden energy covering the cracks on Zatiel's soul dimension, stopping them from enlarging and speeding up their healing.

A peculiar light appeared in Zatiel's eyes as he saw the unconscious Supernova Race man. In the end, he sighed before launching an orb of purple fire to Eon Six's head.

'Being good is annoying.' The Neo-Demon no longer bothered with Eon Six and focused all of his energy on healing his soul's injuries.

The mission was over, and the contract that stopped them from wounding each other was no longer in effect.

However, Zatiel chose a path of righteousness. Although he could compromise and do a horrible thing for the greater good, greed could not affect his will.

Of course, the decision would have been much harder if Eon Six's Bloodline was helpful for him.

Fortunately for the Supernova Race man, the Rebirth Eclipse Bloodline would be weakened if fused with an inferior bloodline like the Supernova Eye of Time Bloodline.

Comfort appeared on the Supernova Race man's face as the Rebirth Force began to heal his soul.

After four days of having the purple fire bathe his soul dimension and True Soul, Eon Six finally woke up. He immediately adopted a battle stance and mobilized his energy before analyzing his surroundings.

The last thing he remembered was the Darkness Poison Duke's speaking a disgusting word before a force wracked his body, severely injured his soul, and left him unconscious.

The sharpness in his eyes diminished when he saw the Pit Fiend's corpse and Zatiel taking demons from his space ring to devour them.

Since there were no visible threats around him, Eon Six took a moment to analyze his condition. Surprise appeared in his eyes when he saw the purple fire mending the wounds in his soul.

He immediately connected the purple fire to Zatiel, but its extraordinary healing abilities came as a shock.

Healing the body and healing the soul were two very different things, and not even a master of the Law of Life could achieve the might of Zatiel's Rebirth Force.

Eon Six's eyes narrowed. He walked toward the Neo-Demon before clasping his hands and performing a deep bow.

"I appreciate your help. You are a truly honorable person. Please have this as my thank you." Eon Six took two red pills from his space ring. He gave one to Zatiel before swallowing the other and adopting a meditative position.

The Neo-Demon analyzed the pill, and after seeing that there was nothing wrong with it, he ate it. The next second, his eyes widened as a healing force greater than his own, or even the Soul Apples, filled his existence.

Zatiel immediately closed his eyes and focused on directing the energy to the brain and soul dimension, where his Rebirth Force had a more difficult time healing.

It took less than a day for the duo's body and soul to heal completely. They were once again at their peak.

The Neo-Demon looked at Eon Six with wonder. The red pill components were Rank 5 materials, but its effects were even better than a Pseudo Rank 7 Alchemy Drug.

That level of craftsmanship was something only an individual at the peak of his profession could achieve.

Eon Six understood the meaning in Zatiel's eyes, and pride appeared on his face.

"My father is a Grandmaster Alchemist who already reached the highest level in the universe and even created a unique Alchemy Path."

"Do you have more?" Those red pills were handy, and since the price to make them was low, the Neo-Demon wanted to see if he could get some from Eon Six.

Unfortunately, the Supernova Race man shook his head.

"They are easy to make and cost little, but to obtain them, I need to pay a significant number of merit points. Father says that it is only ok to depend on items if you were the one who created them. That is why he makes his pills so expensive if taken to personal missions."

The last events have made Eon Six see Zatiel as a trustful ally, so he revealed more information about his race.

'Hard-working, decisive, extremely talented, willing to put his children at risk so they can rise and become true warriors. He is not someone I can take lightly.'

Zatiel already had an idea of the Infinite Space-Time Supernova Eye's personality, and it was not someone he would want as an enemy. At least not until reaching the peak of the universe again.

'Time will tell whether we can work together or I have to erase him.' He no longer bothered with what could happen and focused on the task at hand.

Since Eon Six had awoken and were both at their peak, it was time to harvest the battle spoils. The Neo-Demon's consciousness and Mind Force acted over the Pit Fiend's space ring, breaking the seals in this one, allowing the duo to inspect it.

Zatiel hoped to find something unique, but in the end, it was all garbage.

'He must have changed everything valuable for that special artifact capable of altering Baator's Law of Fire.'

Although it was a little disappointing, there was nothing the Neo-Demon could do about it. He took a Rank 5 Artifact and handed over the ring to Eon Six.

Eon Six stored the ring before using the Law of Space to carefully open the Pit Fiend's chest and remove the heart.

Their fight and the use of that word damaged the organ, but Eon Six smiled after detecting the powerful Demonic Bloodline still vibrant inside.

After the heart was gone, Zatiel waved his hand and collected the rest of the corpse in his space ring.

With the Pit Fiend's belongings and body handled, there was only one thing left to do.

Eon Six took out a blue orb and began to manipulate the magic matrix in it. The next second, the dome that covered the duo transformed into a blue mist and entered the artifact.

A solemn expression appeared on the faces of Zatiel and Eon Six as they focused on the blue orb. The duo only relaxed when soul fragments appeared inside it.

Although capturing the Devil Duke alive would have been perfect, the Neo-Demon and Supernova Race man knew they could not contain themselves in a fight of this level.

The blue dome not only isolated their fight from the outside world, but it also worked as a cage capable of trapping soul fragments!
