The real reason behind the Devils' anger was finally revealed—they had been planning to defeat Ikaris.Their plan was to create an army of Devils who had complete control over Energy, but after hearing Ikaris' words, their entire strategy fell apart.Some Devils refused to believe Ikaris' truth.Determined to prove him wrong, they left Hell and trained on distant planets, pushing their bodies beyond their limits.But Energy was not something that could be mastered so easily.Many Devils died from the pressure as they reached around 10% Energy control.So far, only Zokaris had successfully mastered Energy to an extreme level.But even he was afraid to continue.He had seen what happened to those who went beyond their limits.He feared that if he pushed himself further, he might die just like the others.Meanwhile, Ikaris, feeling guilty for revealing the truth about Eternity, decided to seek forgiveness from him.But he had no idea that some Devils were secretly following him.You might wonder—why didn't Ikaris sense them?Because he trusted his people too much.His love for them blinded him.He had given them complete freedom, believing that they should do whatever they wanted.And that was his biggest mistake.The Devils watched from the shadows as Ikaris walked toward a mysterious wall.Then, suddenly—He disappeared.It was as if he had stepped into another world.The Devils waited for him to return.When he finally did, they hid.After Ikaris left, they rushed to the wall.As they stepped closer, they felt a strange presence.Beyond the wall… was a pitch-black world.But at its center, there was a blinding white light.The Devils immediately returned to Zokaris and told him everything.Zokaris smirked."Now… I will have everything."Zokaris crossed the wall and entered the world of Eternity.Standing before the supreme being, he bowed.Zokaris:"The most powerful being of the universe, I bow to you. I am Zokaris, ruler of Hell. I have come to ask you for something."Eternity:"Speak. What do you desire? You already have a kingdom, power, and people who follow you. What more do you seek?"Zokaris (grinning):"More power. Enough to destroy Ikaris."Eternity:"That is impossible. Ikaris is the most crucial part of this universe. If he ceases to exist… so will everything else."(Zokaris was intelligent. He immediately devised a new plan.)Zokaris:"Then… give me a seal strong enough to imprison him. And grant me complete control over Energy."Eternity:"I can give you the seal… but not the power. For two reasons:""First—Energy's full potential is impossible to achieve.""Second—you wouldn't be able to handle it."(Zokaris suddenly remembered something—A long time ago, Ikaris had told him the exact same thing.)Zokaris:"Then… give me a body capable of using 99% of Energy.""That should be possible… right?"
