Abyssal Lord Of The Magi World-Chapter 873: Rank 11?

As the raging ocean of primal energy pushed Zatiel from one direction to the other, he focused on resisting the backlash. However, to his surprise, it did not take all his soul force to calm down that raging force.

'I guess I am still not fully aware of my strength.' Zatiel only shrugged his shoulders, and since he could split his mind, he did. Most of his mind's power focused on handling the backlash, and he divided the rest into two tasks.

One was analyzing the use of Omnipotence to reverse time, and the other increased his understanding of the Fourth Realm.

When Zatiel used Omnipotence to obtain a way to bring Sophia back to life, he found many answers, but most of them meant generating a replica of her. However, even if the one emerging would be exactly like her, that new person would be a clone.

No matter how perfect and flawless that clone was, even if she believed herself to be Sophia, that was not an answer Zatiel could accept.

In the end, the only way to truly bring back someone whose existence was erased was to connect the present to a point in the past where they were still alive.

Interacting with the past was not only incredibly difficult and had an astronomical cost, but the backlash you would endure was something normal Rank 10 life forms would not survive. And that was not counting the dangers the Emptiness would face.

If Zatiel had brought Sophia's entire soul from the past to the present, that would have generated a domino effect that would have ended his life.

Sophia had to die in the past, and Zatiel must go mad with rage, or else Venganza would never have been born. Without the Depravita of Revenge and Sundered Night, Zatiel Daybreak would have never gained the chance to evolve into the Fourth Realm, and Endless Darkness would have consumed the Prima Universe.

That is why Zatiel only saved the last particle of her soul force, so no one in the past would notice anything wrong and prevent any flaw in the timeline.

Had he been greedy and changed something in the past, a Paradox would have emerged.

The knowledge about Paradox was something Omnipotence gave to Zatiel, and it cost one the life of a Rank 10 life form. They were the ultimate flaws in the Existing System of Reality, which would have corrupted the known multiverse and a significant portion of the Emptiness.

If a Paradox were born, in the best-case scenario, the portion of the Emptiness that the Paradox corrupted would collapse into itself, killing everything in its range. Not even Fourth Realm life forms could survive that.

'I guess I can count myself lucky that the backlash only riddled my body with injuries and destroyed the Prima Universe. If Sophia's soul had been stronger or I had generated a ripple effect, I would have lost everything.' Even with all his power, Zatiel knew that it was lucky he got the chance to bring Sophia back to life.

Despite the immense danger, there was no doubt in his mind that he would do it again. Nothing could stop him from bringing the woman he loved back to life.

Along with that knowledge, Zatiel also attempted to understand the Fourth Realm better. He already got all the knowledge of Endless Darkness, but it did not help him much.

Endless Darkness was the life form that introduced Rank 10 to the Prima Universe's life forms, but even he had little certainty of what came next. His master was not the type that would help its pawns to grow so strong that they could pose a threat.

'Am I still considered a Rank 10 life form?' Zatiel knew he was mighty, even by Fourth Realm's standards, and there was a high chance he had already reached an even higher Rank after his Truth and Eternal Flame fused, granting him access to Omnipotence.

He might be a Rank 11 life form, which meant he still needed to evolve to reach Rank 12 before figuring out a way into the Fifth Realm.

Nevertheless, that was under the assumption that the Fourth Realm was also divided into three Ranks, like the previous realms, but there was a chance Rank 11 might be the last step before the Fifth Realm.

'Ahhh.' Zatiel could only sigh in his mind as he knew it would be long before he got an answer. There was not much he could do other than meditate and figure out the path ahead by himself. No one could help him since no one had previously reached such a high cultivation level.

Three weeks went by before Zatiel opened his eyes. He had finally gotten the backlash that threatened to explode his body under control. Without that force suppressing his power, the raging ocean of primal energy could no longer bind him.

Zatiel analyzed the state of the Prima Universe, and although he could fix it, there was no reason to do it. This state would only make it easier for the Alpha-Prima Universe to devour the universe.

Instead of returning to the Alpha-Prima Universe, Zatiel focused on a corner of the Prima Universe and teleported. He immediately appeared in what used to be the Prima-Eldritch Universe Final Battlefield.

However, the raging primal energy had already obliterated that small universe, leaving nothing else but the Final Gate standing, which was now full of cracks.

Zatiel opened his mouth, and an incredible swallowing force emerged, shattering the Final Gate before devouring every single piece.

He did not stop there, as that swallowing force connected to the Eldritch Universe and began to consume it as well!

The Eldritch Universe was born out of Endless Darkness' Omega Law Core of Existence and Energy Core of Existence. Now that the two pillars were gone, the universe would crumble and fade into nothingness.

Instead, Zatiel decided to devour it so it would be of assistance to his recovery. The swallowing force was beyond shocking and consumed the entire Eldritch Universe in less than 24 hours!
