*PIla!*
A terrifying spatial storm was formed, and much lightning formed an arched door as Freya body streaked through the astral gate as the radiance dimmed after a significant amount of time passed. It ultimately returned to stillness signifying that she traversed the gate and descended to another place.
The laboratory descended into solemness inviting a dark and gloomy atmosphere and gave a repressed feeling. The air was full of negative energy and earth-type elemental particles.
"Go on, I would make sure the astral gate is functional at all times, although it's last resort it's good to keep a backdoor open!" Leylin surveyed his surroundings, finding that Freya was able to pass successfully and also traversed to the Purgatory World without any hiccups, and he could not help but nod in satisfaction.
Leylin did much experiments in invading Purgatory World before he sent Freya in, she is currently just a mere Morning Star which is very low of a strength to get anything done but he already set down the path down the road for her and with his knowledge of the overall situation of that World she would definitely prosper if nothing goes wrong.
Since there is no rush or race against time Leylin send her to firstly adapt to the new environment finding ways to readjust herself and slowly use the resources and wide power system to Purgatory World to accumulate strength.
Leylin purposefully allowed Freya to infiltrate into a rather desolate island away from the scanning and examination of any dignitaries which would expose her Magus background and disable her to steadily grow without raising any problems.
Invading the Purgatory World is very convenient because the World's Will is rather muddied lacking intelligence to protect its intrest, its a rather naked world without any conscient protection of the World Will but it doesn't necessarily mean it's easy to infiltrate. The whole world different regions including the continents and ocean are divided into regions of different dignitaries and strong World inhabitants.
This means that the world is in constant monitoring by them screening out otherworldly invaders, but this also allows for a moment of maneuver because most of those Rank 7 and above beings are not in Purgatory World actually but rather their main body are somewhere else which means there is only their clones scanning the intruders supported by a limited strength of law.
Even through clones or projection of law being isn't something Leylin can handle himself and bypass their security, but to send Freya inside without any trouble he had something in his hands which can even fool a Rank 7 probably.
The sealing formation on «Hand Of Hades» which is definitely something designed to deal with power of laws and it also have the ability to help hide it's radiation and avoid any detection. With the help of it's mechanism Leylin was able to imitate a part of its radiation and camouflage Freya undulation and she was also able to reach there without alarming any law being.
Leylin himself is very amazed and awe by the existence of «Hand Of Hades» and the mystery around it but he can partially guess about the identify and secret behind the «Hand Of Hades» and the reason behind it's existence.
The conclusion he draw is very straight forward—It is a clone of Hades, Previously inside the secret realm under the illusionary attack of the conscient hidden in the sealed hand, the illusionary world Leylin was dragged into gradually turned red before it stretched into the sides and formed the shape of a human eye.
An icy gaze swept across, causing Leylin to shudder in fear. He felt as if he had called upon a disaster and his body tensed up. This pressuring aura must surely belong to a high levelled Magus!
And from his past experience from vividly studying the dark spell arts, curses and various summoning formation of Hades, Leylin concluded it to belong to Hades, the king of the ancient dark Magi, a truly powerful elite.
Leylin don't have much information to really understand the agenda behind the most decorated Dark Magus of all times but he gained a somewhat shallow understanding that Hades was definitely at the top of the food chain stretching his claws in multiple worlds and permeating his powers through summing spell formation and his many evil yet powerful arts.
The Ancient War was a very chaotic time and it would not be a overstretch to assume that many powerful beings also tried invading Magus World, obviously doing such is a very difficult feat, but at the end powerful beings were able to infiltrate into even the World of God's bypassing the acclaimed Crystal wall which is the strongest World barrier even more so than Magus World so, its reasonable to assume same was true for Magus World and many evidence suggests similarly.
Trail Eye, Nefarious Featherbird, Snake Dowager, Beelzebub are some of the many influences one can easily distinguish, there is no way they would integrate so thoroughly into Magi culture and system without having any hands. And Leylin assumed that Hades is also one of those powerful beings who tried to invade to grow their power and in the process left behind a cultural impact so much so that all Dark Magus view him as an idol.
At some point, Hades must have invaded with a powerful clone amidst all the chaos against World of God's and was met with relentless ruthless counterattack from the Guardian.
The outcome of the fight is very obvious because Hades must know that even with a poorly manned Magus World, it's still not something which can be easily provoked. He would most definitely not send his true body costing himself of the chances of gaining benefits from other world and giving the Magus World a chance to deal with him.
Even still for him to succeed he would need to send a powerful clone something which can display the strength of at least Rank 7 to test water and was ultimately defeated. For him to take this risk must mean he had a certain intrest in the Magus World, a goal even.
Such a clone is no longer counted as a disposable but a part of the law being himself, one can clearly see from the way how Beelzebub descended into deep slumber after loosing his clone from Leylin in Purgatory World.
The main body must be too powerful and he can't bring it over, so he chose to separate his soul from his body and move over with his soul…Compared to moving physical materials over, the consumption of having just the soul travel over is much lower.
Even so, he would be gravely injured from moving between worlds…The resistance that Hades experienced in travelling to the Magus World was most definitely gargantuan. Something which cannot be explained, it's even seems a bit too much to be true but Hades isn't an average being if he really made such a move work then his ways cannot be underestimated.
For someone at such a level If they dared to enter the Magus World, the suppression from the World Will and the spatial storms combined would kill even their soul.
The more powerful one was, the easier it was to get suppressed by the World Will. In the past Beelzebub could place clones at Morning Star or Radiant Moon in the Magus World, but won't dare separating his truesoul and enter because it would be far too powerful, and he would easily be suppressed.
And if one were to find some small world, where the World Will could do nothing against their descent, it could just self-destruct and make things backfire on him.
Hence, as many could not go to high-ranked worlds nor smaller ones, the value of a place like Purgatory World was like that of a precious treasure!
Hades must have found some special way to protect himself and must have desired something tremendously as he didn't hesitate to split his truesoul to reach Magus World.
It's also not hard to guess why Hades clone was imprisoned rather than destroyed, it's most probably because the Guardian wanted to make Hades pay miserably or even gain some benefits for himself, such a good chance is rather rare to find.
Anyone would love go extract a technique which can help them transverse World while maintaining a part of their strength anyone would go green in envy to have that, obviously High ranked Magus are no slouches and most have their own unique ways to enter other worlds but knowing someone else's secret would help improve their ability, someone like Mother Core had clones in almost all major world's like Purgatory and Icy World!
Hence, Hades clone was mostly destroyed and the remaining part comprising most of Hades power was sealed.
And for why did the Magus leave it unattended, it's no brainier because the main event of the Ancient War was the clash of the World Will's of Magus World and World of God's
It was an event in which innumerable God's and Magus were killed, sealed and destroyed. The risk and mortality of the War was very high but the benefits were not any less either, the war was a chance to ascend higher in a single step.
In the midst of such an epic battle, Magi can absorb the gods' comprehension of laws and grow stronger quickly. It won't even be impossible to advance to the peak of rank 8. Legends say that the path to eternity will open up when the Magi and gods determine a victor, devouring the other party completely.
The Magus and God's have a strange synchronization with each other which makes it possible for either to kill and seize their law for themselves.
In between such a huge opportunity what value does a mere clone of Hades has? hence the Magus simply didn't care much about it and made some preparation to keep the area isolated and look for greater chances.
"To be able to make Hades pay a price, even though the confrontation was in Magus World, that Magus can't simply be ignored. Hades is master of crafty plot, vile methods and dark arts he would never take such a risk without some contingency plans. If that Magus defeated him anyways then it's very impressive but if this is actually just a part of a bigger plot from Hades then... " Leylin eyebrows were furrowed and his face slightly sour.
Having established bodies of laws as they entered rank 7, Magi were near indestructible with almost eternal life. Even if they were killed their truesouls would enter a deep slumber in the river of space and time. They would bide their time there, waiting for resurrection along with many conscients lying in wait in different locations.
There is just too much variables revolving around the «Hand of Hades» and between the games and plot of those higher ranked Magus Leylin would be played to death hence, he immediately looked for the opportunity to gain the most profit and send such a time bomb away for a greater goal.
"So much trouble.... *sigh* no matter, currently it would take at least half of a century for Freya to reach appropriate level to start the plan. I just need to sit back and tend to my work, as for the trouble from the Magus who sealed Hades it's not very likely, from the abandoned and unchecked state of seal in a barren Surface World rather than being in the Subterranean World, it's easy to figure out his current state, and even if he returns it would not be possible before the next war. Until then I won't be an ant anymore, if this plan don't work then so be it, I have other things too... "
Leylin sighed and walked out of the laboratory, with his hands clasped behind his back mindlessly stepping towards a secluded corner, which revealed an extremely lush flowerbed. Whatever was here with wild vegetation had originally been planted had been completely uprooted by him, leaving only a few beautiful agave plants with their pale yellow stamens behind.
