Grey and Eterna confront an abyssal general and his army attempting to summon a Lesser Heaven. The soldiers regenerate until Grey discovers and destroys the Heart of Endless Corruption, an artifact powering their immortality. Grey easily defeats the other abyssal lords and captures their leader, Zarvoketh, to interrogate him.

After moments of consideration, Zarvoketh decided to speak. he still wanted to live.

"We were here to enter the portal in this world," he spoke up.

Grey’s eyes narrowed at his wor ds.

"What portal are you talking about?"

Zarvoketh hesitated for a moment before answering.

"It is a portal leading to the Ancient Hell of Asuras and Devils. These are devils that were once actual angels from the God World."

Grey’s eyes flickered at those words.

He could summon devils too, but they were not from the Ancient Hell. However, he could still convert them into angels because he had Nexus Energy.

But these devils were different.

If they received a blessing from a god, they could go back to being angels. Of course, it depended on whether they were still ready to serve the gods or not.

"What’s the point of going to this Hell?" Grey asked.

Zarvoketh’s mouth however remained shut. Hr didn’t answer his question this time.

Grey sighed hearing this.

"Wrong choice."

He grabbed Zarvoketh by one of his six arms and channeled Nexus Axiom Energy directly into his body.

The effect was immediate.

Zarvoketh screamed in agony as the chaotic power tore through his existence. His pale grey skin cracked and split. Purple blood leaked from his eyes and mouth.

"I will say! I will say!" he shrieked desperately.

Grey released the energy flow.

"Then talk."

Zarvoketh gasped for breath, his six arms trembling uncontrollably.

"There is a special item there that the Abyssal God wants," he confessed. "We were sent to retrieve it for him."

"We don’t know anything else about, but once we are close to it, we will naturally find it. That’s what he said. This matter is of great importance, hence no one knows about it."

Grey stared at him for a long moment.

Then he smiled.

"Thanks for the information."

He raised his hand toward the sky.

Divine light gathered in his palm, growing brighter and brighter until it became blinding.

"Divine Illumination."

A pillar of pure light descended from above and engulfed Zarvoketh completely.

The six-armed abyssal lord didn’t even have time to scream before he was erased from existence.

Grey turned to Eterna.

"Looks like we’re going to this Ancient Hell."

As he turned around, something stirred behind him.

The corruption zone was collapsing, but something was emerging from it.

The Lesser Heaven.

It rose from the dissipating darkness, its massive form towering over the landscape. White scales covered its body, each one gleaming with threads of golden color and cosmic light.

Its eyes locked onto Grey with primal hunger.

The Fragment of the Heavenly Dao inside Grey stirred in response.

"Are you ready to absorb?" Grey asked internally.

The Fragment’s voice echoed in his mind.

"Yes."

Grey cracked his knuckles with a grin.

"Perfect."

The Lesser Heaven roared and lunged toward him, its massive claws tearing through space itself.

Grey didn’t retreat.

He shot forward to meet it head-on.

"Nexus Overclock: 600%."

Luminous circuits blazed across his entire body as his power multiplied exponentially.

His fist collided with the Lesser Heaven’s claw.

The impact created a shockwave that shattered the ground for miles in every direction.

The Lesser Heaven was pushed backward, surprise evident in its eyes.

Grey didn’t give it time to recover.

He appeared above its head in an instant.

"Divine Shattered Shock."

His fist descended like a meteor.

The blow connected with the creature’s skull, driving it into the ground with enough force to create a crater the size of a city.

The Lesser Heaven roared in pain and thrashed wildly.

Its tail swept toward Grey with devastating speed.

Grey caught it with one hand.

"Is that all you’ve got?"

He yanked the creature upward and slammed it back down into the ground he created.

The ground cracked and split from the impact.

The Lesser Heaven tried to retaliate with a blast of chaotic energy from its mouth.

Grey activated his Buddha Mode.

Golden light erupted from his body, completely neutralizing the chaotic blast before it could reach him.

"My turn."

He dove downward and grabbed the Lesser Heaven by its horns.

"Let’s see how you handle this."

He channeled the Devourer of Chaos through his grip.

He was using it’s own power against it.

A localized black hole formed around his hands, beginning to pull the Lesser Heaven’s essence directly into his inner space.

The Lesser Heaven made one final desperate attempt to escape.

It released all of its remaining power in a single explosive burst.

However, Grey absorbed it all.

His Lesser Heaven Halo manifested behind his head, glowing with increased intensity.

The grey-purple saintly halo expanded as new power flooded into his existence.

The Lesser Heaven soon collapsed as he sent the power straight to the Fragment of The Heavenly Dao.

His Fragment of the Heavenly Dao pulsed with satisfaction.

"Looks like we can use the power of the heaven once again."

He then turned to Eterna, who had been watching the entire battle with her usual calm expression.

"Let’s check out that altar."

They approached the ancient structure together.

The altar was massive, covered in devilish markings that glowed with an eerie red light. Symbols of forgotten languages were carved into every surface.

Grey began reading the inscriptions.

The moment his eyes processed the first few lines, his mind began going haywire.

Images flooded his consciousness. Images of burning worlds and screaming faces.

The markings were trying to corrupt his perception.

But Grey had the Infinity Mind.

Those corruption of hell will never reach him.

He continued reading the inscriptions without further incident.

At the center of the altar was a swirling vortex of energy. Grey recognized it as some sort of dimensional connection to another part of the endless reality.

And he knew exactly how to navigate it.

"If I use World-Breaking Source Power, I can travel through this space," Grey said.

Eterna nodded beside him.

"Do you want me to come with you?"

Grey considered for a moment.

"We’ll go together. But if something goes wrong, we come back immediately."

"Understood," Eterna agreed.

Grey channeled the World-Breaking Source Power from within his Lesser Heaven Space and soon a portal formed.

Without hesitation he and Eterna jumped right in.
