Abyssal Lord Of The Magi World-Chapter 1002 Catastrophic Beginning
Codicia had been focusing on the task the Samsara Thearch gave him, fusing his soul and energy pool with the Dreamweaver Castle. He had left aside the refinement of his battle power and skills since he knew this was more important and was able to fully merge with the Fourth Realm weapon eighteen months after attaining it.
As soon as the Dreamweaver Castle became one with the Unbreakable Spirit Sacred King, the Depriavita felt the eyes of the Samsara Thearch on him before being teleported.
Codicia looked around and noticed he was inside a massive Inner Universe not any less impressive than a standard super universe and knew it belonged to the Samsara Thearch.
Karmic threads emerged from the Inner Universe and began to connect with the Depravita of Greed.
Codicia could feel the fusion between him and the Samsara Thearch's Inner Universe and did not resist, allowing the karmic threads to reach all the way into his Primordial Essence.
Zatiel was still fusing runes into the Sacred Mountains' killing formation, and a smile appeared on his face as he gained control over the powers of the Depravita of Greed.
Soul force emerged from his third eye, generating new runes with incredibly powerful dream energy and the essence of the Eternal Flame of Greed.
Red blood runes and sky-blue runes fused into the formation, making it more and more powerful. Its power was reaching a level that was hard to describe since it essentially took all the energy and forces of the Daybreak Universe, transforming it into destructive power.
Weeks, months, and finally, years went by as the warriors of the Daybreak Universe used every moment to improve their powers.
"Nine x Nine Killing Universe Formation!"
Zatiel's voice echoed across the Emptiness Universe as a bust of destructive killing intent emerged from the Nine Sacred Mountains.
"RUMBLE!!!"
The Daybreak Universe trembled as the formation that covered every corner of it and used all its killing intent was completed. Waves of radiation containing destructive forces spread across the skyless earth, and their power reached the point that even Rank 9 would have difficulty enduring. Luckily, all Extreme Rank 9 warriors were already inside one of the seventy-two battle formations, attaining a monstrous defensive power.
Each of the Sacred Kings had already attained a battle power equal to at least the Late Initial Stage, so the radiation could not surpass their energy defenses.
As for Venganza and Ezequiel, both of them had already stabilized their cultivation, adjusted to their new power, and developed their Fourth Realm Omnipotent Spells. The killing intent that could make the universe tremble was nothing but a breeze to them.
Despite the killing intent harming no one, all the warriors, from the Thearchs to those inside the seventy-two formations, looked to the Emptiness since they knew it was time.
Over four years had passed already, and the Beyonder's Knights and its army must be near.
A solemn expression appeared in the Thearchs, Sacred Kings, and Extreme Rank 9 as they rose into the Emptiness, all adopting battle formations behind the Samsara Thearch.
Zatiel waved his hand, sending Codicia back to the Sacred Kings before looking into the distance. His eyes showed him the vortex of darkness and corruption that could twist Truths and Eternal Flames coming closer and closer to their home. 𝐛𝗲𝐝𝐧𝗼𝐯𝐞𝐥.𝐜𝐨𝗺
A sharp light appeared in the Samsara Thearch's eyes as billions of monstrous creatures emerged from his Inner Universe.
The warriors of the Daybreak Universe glanced at the drones and were surprised by their power. While most of them were Rank 7 and 8, there was a large percentage of Rank 9, and there were even Extreme Rank 9 among them.
It was not only their power but also the blind rage and desire for destruction inside their eyes that told the Daybreak Universe's warriors that the drones would be very useful disposable weapons in the war.
Zatiel could feel the power and location of every single warrior of the Daybreak Universe, and he knew they were ready. War was imminent, and the Beyonder's army was so close that everybody with a battle power above Rank 9 could see them with their own eyes.
"Embrace Unity. Resistance Is Futile. One With The Beyonder."
"Embrace Unity. Resistance Is Futile. One With The Beyonder."
"Embrace Unity. Resistance Is Futile. One With The Beyonder."
The voice of billions of life forms shouting in unison reached the warriors of the Daybreak Universe, and it was not just sound waves since there was also the essence of the Beyonder in them.
A Late Stage Fourth Realm life form was truly an entity for whom the word impossible had no meaning, and the intent that impregnated the souls of the billions inside attempted to make its way into the minds of the warriors of the Daybreak Universe.
It did not matter whether it was the Revenge Thearch, Emptiness Thearch, Sacred Kings, or Extreme Rank 9 inside the Samsara Astra Magicae Codex's formations. All of them felt a voice whispering inside their minds.
It offered them a gift. If they accepted it, they would never feel fear or doubt again. Life and eternity would mean the same, and they could spread the miracle to everybody they knew, allowing their family and friends to be forever with them.
The Samsara Thearch could feel the internal struggle inside the souls of his warriors, but he was ready for this. He closed his eyes as the flaming figure of an old man appeared on his paragon armor.
"Reflection of Serenity!"
Zatiel's entire body became a source of white light that shone over the warriors of the Daybreak Universe. It helped their souls and minds to fight back against the intent of the Beyonder and understand the true nature of the gift this one offered.
The gift that the Beyonder would grant them eternal life and allow it to spread to their loved ones, but it would mean losing their free will, becoming an extension of that cancerous universe's existence.
All the doubt and struggle inside the Daybreak Warriors' eyes faded, replaced by killing intent and disgust. They would rather die than become mutated puppets of that monster.
Zatiel showed a smile as he felt the determination of the Daybreak Universe's warriors, and there was a confident light in his eyes as he stared at the vortex of darkness and malice.
"Embrace Unity. Resistance Is Futile. One With The Beyonder."
"Embrace Unity. Resistance Is Futile. One With The Beyonder."
"Embrace Unity..."
Suddenly the vortex of darkness stopped shouting those words despite having done it for dozens of thousands of years already.
Zatiel felt his instincts screaming as if something was about to go horribly wrong. He immediately gave the signal, ensuring all the warriors were ready to fight and connect with the billions of drones.
'What are you up to?'
That thought crossed the Samsara Thearch when he saw a black force spread across the universe-size vortex, just for this one to disappear the next second.
'Reality Override!'
There was no Late Stage life form inside the vortex of darkness and corruption, but the power it used to vanish was definitely Reality Override.
Zatiel knew that parts of a Late Stage life form could activate Reality Override, just like the remnants of Zork and Nork. There was a chance the Beyonder had left a piece of his existence with the Knights so that they could use it as a catalyst for Reality Override.
Unfortunately, Zatiel did not have time to wonder just what kinds of weapons the Knights had since the vortex of corruption and destruction appeared right in the middle of the Daybreak Army!
"BOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMM!"
"AHHHHHHHH!"
Massive explosions and screams of pain emerged as the vortex of darkness covered the entire army, instantly killing all the drones and shattering half of the Samsara Astra Magicae Codex's formations.
Without the protections of the formation, those Extreme Rank 9 life forms could not resist the vortex's corrupting powers, and in seconds their bodies transformed into masses of bleeding tumors.
The rest of the formations began to break apart and would not last more than a minute.
Ezequiel, Venganza, and the Sacred Kings were just as shocked as everybody else but managed to regain focus and unleash their most potent spells.
Unfortunately, while the combined might of those spells could erase the entire universe, the vortex of darkness was able to suppress the Thearchs and Sacred King's power while attacking from every direction, drawing them into darkness.
Zatiel flew up, trying to break free of the vortex of darkness, hacking with his sword in every direction. It took all his strength and left him with deep wounds, but he managed to emerge.
However, he was the only one. All the others were inside the vortex of darkness, being consumed by its corruptive power.
Disbelief and shock appeared in the eyes of the Samsara Thearch since he could not believe what he was seeing.
The battle had just started, and they had already lost!
