Abyssal Lord of the Magi World

"You finally figured it out. I have shared all this with you to draw as much attention as possible from the pillars, allowing my identity to slowly push beyond my origin."

Zatiel's killing intent exploded as he heard those words, and he flashed forward, instantly appearing before Nihilak's corpse, controlled by the Beyonder.

A palm strike landed on the chest of Nihilak's corpse, making it tremble before it slowly began to fade as its atoms were erased from existence.

Even as his vessel disintegrated, the Beyonder's smile remained. His face showed no fear or frustration as he stared at Zatiel and grabbed the neck of this one, looking straight into his eyes.

"It doesn't matter! I have already fulfilled my goal! Soon, you and I will fight. I will shatter the Creator's Path, take your life, and rise beyond this Verse!"

Zatiel's eyes grew cold as he destroyed the arm holding his neck and waved his sword down, sundering the Emptiness for nearly a billion light years, completely obliterating Nihilak's corpse and erasing the connection of the Beyonder.

Silence reigned since no one dared to say a word. The war ended in the victory of the Daybreak Universe with Zatiel's evolution to the Reality Override Realm. Still, they understood that that was the Beyonder's true goal from the beginning.

That man was willing to sacrifice every warrior under his control, including three Omnipotence Realm life forms, to strengthen his enemy. An opponent like that was impossible to predict, and that he could experience true defeat was unthinkable.

Zatiel could not help but clench his fists as he remembered the smile on the Beyonder's face. After his evolution, he had learned the true nature of reality and that the Verse itself was born to make him grow.

Despite all that, for the first time in his life, he faced an enemy that made him feel fear from the bottom of his heart!

Some say that if you want to overcome your enemy, your goal must be greater than theirs, but what kind of purpose could be higher than challenging The Creator!?

The Beyonder was able to realize the sole purpose of his existence, to push Zatiel to the absolute limit and die in the process. It would have broken the will and heart of any life form to know that you were designed as a mere stepping stone, but that man chose to rise above it, not accepting defeat even when that was already written.

Zatiel was the Sacred Child of Verse, the story's hero, but even then, he found it hard to accept the nature of reality. Doing it as The Antagonist was a burden he found unbearable.

"¡Ahhhhh!"

A sigh emerged as a sense of determination returned to Zatiel's heart. There was a lot of process, but he could focus his mind on other things right now.

Zatile lowered his gaze, focusing on all the Knights that were still alive. His Samsara Pupil began to glow, and the next second, they all were set ablaze!

"¡Ahhhhh!"

"¡AHHHHH!"

"AHHH...AHHH...AH!"

Screams of pain of all types echoed across the Emptiness as the flames overwhelmed the Knights. Every drop of energy the Samsara Flame consumed began to condense above Zatiel's head.

Those Knights could do nothing to combat the power of Zatiel. Middle Stage life forms could barely resist the domain of Reality Override using their Omnipotence, but those at the Initial Stage could only accept their fate.

It did not take long for a massive purple sun to appear above Zatiel's head. There was an incredible amount of life and soul forces in it, and the power of the Samsara Truth pushed their nature to an even higher stage.

The Sacred Kings and the rest of the Daybreak Universe's warriors wondered what Zatiel intended to do with all that energy, and the next second, they saw hundreds of soul particles appear around him.

Those belonged to the Extreme Rank 9 life forms that perished during the war!

Smiles appeared in the Sacred Kings and Knights as they understood that Zatiel would bring them back to life!

Learning the nature of reality could have overwhelmed someone with a sense of absolute apathy toward other lives. Such was the case of the Beyonder.

However, the idea that allowed Zatiel's existence to sublimate was his desire to protect his universe and family, so even if others did not matter, he would always care about them!

Zatiel sent the particles into the Samsara Sun, where they would slowly regrow, allowing them reincarnation. Even though he was a Late Stage life form, Reality Override still demanded energy, and he needed every ounce of his, so he used the Knights as raw matter.

After ensuring the reincarnation of the dead Extreme Rank 9 warriors advanced without problems, Zatiel placed the Samsara Sun into the sky of the Daybreak Universe.

Waves of purple radiation emerged from the Samsara Sun, flooding the Daybreak Universe, but while the life force of the heavenly star was immense, it would take billions of years to fix all the damage.

Zatiel would not wait that long, and with a snap of his fingers, he teleported all the Daybreak Universe's warriors to the surface of the universe. All of them were severely injured, and some, like Orgullo, could barely remain conscious due to the overwhelming damage to their souls.

Just as the Daybreak Universe's warriors wondered what would happen next, they saw how all the drones that were still alive flashed toward the Samsara Sun, using their bodies and life force as fuel.

The Samsara Sun's radiation grew thousands of times stronger, speeding up the recovery of the Daybreak Universe and, at the same time, healing all the warriors on its surface.

Zatiel was not over as his White Sun Pupil began to glow. He used the power of Reality Override to channel the infinity of the Emptiness into the Samsara Sun, granting it even more energy.

Purple radiance flooded every corner of the Daybreak Universe, shining across the Emptiness for countless light years.

At this point, Zatiel felt satisfied and nodded to the Sacred Kings before vanishing.
