Abyssal Lord of the Magi World

Zatiel's eyes pierced into the flow of time and made sure that there were no threats to the Whinged Wale before leaving. His next destination was not too far away, so he could reach it in less than an hour.

What appeared before him the next second was a massive world, more extensive than any Principal World. Half of it was set ablaze, while the other half was frozen.

Of course, this world was not other than the Ice-Fire World. This place once held the unique runic formation that allowed the synergy between two opposing forces, allowing them to grow stronger. However, Zatiel had taken it away with him and used his own power to make a copy that could keep the world stable.

The Karma-Causality Dual Seal Formation kept the Ice-Fire World stable and would do it for dozens of thousands of years. Yet, that did not mean there were no problems.

Zatiel could see how the flames were invading the border of the frozen part of the world, and the same was happening with the ice and the blazing section.

The Ice Roc and Fire King were hibernating, fusing their essence with the world so they could limit the damage of the fire and ice spreading widely.

Zatiel could fix the world, but killing the two Initial Stage life forms would be easier. Nevertheless, that was not the path he would use to resolve his karma.

A sharp light appeared in his eyes as the Samsara Pupil and Eternal Flame Pupil began to grow, unleashing the full power of the Concept Path and Law Path.

Zatiel did not have the World Clashing Swords with him, nor did he intend to reverse the treasure to its original state. He would use his own power and mastery over runes to create an even mightier runic formation.

Dark purple flames that embody the essence of the Samsara Truth and golden light that manifested the core power of the Justice Eternal Flame emerged from Zatiel's soul.

Eternal Flames and Truths were opposing concepts, having completely different origins, and they would be perfect as raw materials for a runic formation that needed two opposing forces.

Zatiel's hands moved at superluminal speed as he used the golden light and dark purple flames to create millions of runes by the second. After the evolution of his soul force to the Late Stage, the power of his formations evolved to an extraordinary level.

However, if Zatiel wanted to create a runic formation even mightier than the one that gave birth to the Ice-Fire World, he had to fully use the power of a Reality Override life form.

After an hour and trillions of runes, Zatiel took a deep breath and used the power of his White Sun Pupil to connect the powers of Concept and Law into a matrix of flawless synergy.

"RUMBLE!!!"

The Emptiness trembled for a second as the runic formation was incredibly powerful. While it was not a Reality Override Treasure, it had the potential to become one after billions of years.

Zatiel showed a radiant smile of satisfaction, not just for completing the formation but for evolving his runes to the peak of the multiverse.

"Truth-Flame Dual Eternal Synergy Formation."

As soon as Zatiel uttered those words, the runic formation began to glow before flashing into the Ice-Fire World. It took less than a second to fuse with the world before making this one tremble as its energy burst with incredible might.

The Ice Roc and Fire King woke up from their long slumber as they felt the change in the world, and before they could even process things, an incredible force flowed through their bodies.

The Truth-Flame Dual Eternal Synergy Formation not only improved the power of the Ice-Fire World but also gave it a soul, and the first thing it did was select its guardians.

Shock, awe, and respect appeared in the eyes of the Ice Roc and Fire King as they looked into the Emptiness and stared at Zatiel. They could see the immense power running through his body, one so high they could not even comprehend it, which made the fact he kept his promise all the more significant.

Both entities got down on their knees and bowed toward Zatiel, recognizing the might of this one.

The Samsara Thearch nodded to the duo and did not say a word before leaving. He had fixed their world, strengthening it and granting the Ice Roc and Fire King the power to fight Peak Middle Stage life forms together. That was more than enough to pay his debt.

As Zatiel traveled through the Emptiness, a solemn expression appeared on his face. His next destination was a place of great significance and where he had to act cautiously, even after his evolution to the Late Stage.

A majestic gate larger than a super universe appeared in Zatiel's sight. Everything was the same as the last time he saw it, with the Guardian in a meditative position.

Surprise appeared in Zatiel's eyes as he saw a golden core surrounded by red halos that unleashed a power full of life and vitality. That was the energy nucleus that he took away, yet it was back.

The one that Zatiel took was still in the hands of Dante as the Starlight Eternal Arc, so the only explanation was that a new one had emerged, and the only one that could have done it was the creator of the Oblivion Gate.

"Ahhhh."

Zatiel could not help but sigh since, by fixing the gate, that person stopped him from solving his karma, and he owed a favor. He shook his head as he descended the stairs leading to the Oblivion Gate.

The Guardian immediately rose and kneeled in front of Zatiel, not saying a word.

"This gate leads to the Empyrean Axis Bastion, right?"

As he heard that, a flash of light appeared in the Guardian's eyes, and he slowly nodded.

"You are right, Eternal."

Zatiel's eyes narrowed when he heard how the Guardian referred to him.
