Chapter 1512 A Different Approach

Chapter 1512 A Different Approach

Immortal was surprised at the team of five that faced him with a vigilant expression.

"What's the matter?" His lips curled up into a generous smile but his eyes narrowed, scanning the holy squad with a suspicious gaze.

The team of his kingdom wouldn't allow killing others, so he let them die even though they could've brought them into the barrier. Then he killed the naive princess who was also sent as a part of the sealing team.

All that was left was to subdue Isadora and then, reseal the devil and achieve a new ending. Once that's over, he could leave this world with Isadora and get out of

Paradise.

To be honest, the perfect hybrid couldn't have come at a better time. He's suppressing himself from hitting the divine ranks.

By design, Immortal was created to be an entity that's perfectly aligned with the paths of life and death. That included the path of soul too.

If he hit the divine ranks in his current state, he'd be a great divine ranker—one who could easily march through rank 1 and breakthrough to rank 2 since he had access to all three paths.

He could even reach high rank 2 not too long from now and stand shoulder to shoulder with Life Master Kemin Aurik and Lady Death Yami.

But what would that achieve?

These two people—the figures that could be considered closest to be his father and mother—have abandoned him since his great potential was useless.

A high rank 2 was useless in front of the God Emperor.

Even if he tried to reach the peak of rank 2—the state that the Emperor was currently believed to be in—it would take a long time despite his potential.

But what's really worse was that the God Emperor had been in that state for tens of millions of years or maybe even hundreds of millions of years.

Immortal wasn't even qualified to know such information. So in the end, even reaching peak rank 2 might be futile.

'You, You alone are not enough. To win against the man closest to a god, a defective piece is not enough.'

It was what they told him long ago.

He hated those words in the beginning. But now, he was glad he didn't try to race to the divine ranks.

The holy squad looked at Isadora with a look of 'We told you so' while Isadora herself was confused by the friendly atmosphere.

"I was searching for a while and couldn't find her traces. But it's not like we can wait forever. The devil has to be re-sealed."

Immortal said in urgent tone, pointing to the black cyclone that continued to grow in the distance.

The holy squad grimaced.

Even though they were far away, looking at it gave a sensation as if an invisible hand was hovering over their necks, ready to dug its fingers into their skin and rip their heads off.

"Thankfully, your group is not injured. I think we still have a chance without the help of the princess. Let's hurry." Immortal urged and started off to the tornado without showing any vigilance toward them.

Isadora briefly glanced at Varian and ordered everyone to follow him to the center.

'I know his face is different but it's him.' Isadora said through their link. 'He must be trying to use the devil as a distraction since the squad is uninjured.'

Varian nodded, agreeing with her words. But he saw no need to tear off the masks yet.

'Who says he's using us? We're using him to deal with the devil. Say we fight him and win. Then what? We'll most likely lose to the devil. It'd still be a loss.'

'Playing them off against each other, huh.'

'A tactic as old as civilization. But works well.'

They showed no suspicious behavior toward Immortal to indicate that they were on guard against him.

But Isadora and Varian had prepared themselves to backstab him at the opportune moment without any hesitation.

"Devil of the outer sky, we have come to seal you, just like our ancestors have done a thousand years ago and our descendants will do, a thousand years from now."

Immortal shouted in a passionate voice and pointed his spear at the violent black tornado.

The spinning tornado, the beam of black light in the middle of it, the spinning dust surrounding the structure all paused for a moment before a humanoid figure materialized in front of them.

"What game are you playing?"

An aura at the very peak of rank 9, even surpassing that of Immortal's immense power, pressed on them.
