Abyssal Lord of the Magi World

Zatiel took a deep breath as he adopted a meditative position on the Emptiness, using the Oblivion Gate's energy nucleus and the waves of chaotic forces around him to recover. He had totally drained himself in that last fight, something he had been incapable of doing before since he could not fully unleash the power of his existence.

However, now that he had Myriad Samsara Eternal Mirror, the Samsara Thearch could unleash spells and attacks that expressed the full might of his cultivation.

After a few days, Zatiel felt his vitality burning and his soul force rising. With the strength of his body and soul restored, he could handle the pieces of Nork and Zork he sealed inside his stomach.

The spiritual head and arms wanted to break free of the Neo-Demon's stomach, trying to return to their cores, but it was impossible.

Zatiel's stomach was not weaker than a black hole, and there were enchantments of space-time and gravity sealing it, stopping anything inside from getting out. In terms of confinement, it was even better than his Inner Universe, which was why he used to contain the severed pieces of the universe-size humanoids.

With his strength restored, the Samsara Thearch's eyes began to glow as he purified the pieces of Zork and Nork. A dark purple flame set ablaze everything inside his stomach, burning any form of sentience on the head and arms.

It took nearly six months, but Zatiel was able to transform Zork's head and Nork's arms into two golden and dark orbs containing the remnants' essence.

Despite only containing a portion of the full power of the duo, the Samsara Thearch could use the orbs to generate weapons of incredible destructive power, greater than any of the other treasures he had attained so far.

'Had I completely sealed both of them, I could have made a weapon that could even increase my battle power.'

Zatiel shook his head and did not lose himself in those thoughts. The power needed to completely defeat Zork and Nork was something only a true Late Stage could unleash since it required the full might of Reality Override. If Zatiel had continued the fight, he would have suffered severe wounds and been forced to run once his energy was drained.

'I now have the Ice-Fire World's runic formation, Fourth Realm Phenomenon, Oblivion Gate's energy nucleus, Journaloth, the Winged Whale's body, and Zork and Nork's cores. That makes seven, leaving only four more to attain, and luckily for me, the next one was very close by.'

Zatiel focused on the distance and began to advance at a shocking speed. Every wave of his wings pushed his body millions of light years ahead, and nothing could stop his body's momentum.

In just seventeen hours, the Samsara Thearch found himself in front of a super universe. His eyes glowed, allowing his sight to pierce beyond the Cosmic Wall.

He was able to see the entirety of the life forms in the universe, and what he saw was total mayhem. There was death and destruction in every corner of it, with carnage running amok. Yet, despite all that, this universe's life forms had no sense of evil and malice.

It might seem paradoxical that a place full of killing did not have evil in it, but it was the case this time since the life forms inside this universe could not develop any form of wisdom.

A failure in the universe's Law Matrix ruined the power that granted intelligence and wisdom to entire races and life forms as they grew strong, making every living thing in this place follow their most basic instinct. The one that rained above all was to eat and grow stronger.

Even the worlds were not forsaken, with millions of them transforming into spherical beasts with giant mouths that consumed tinner life forms and other heavenly bodies.

No treasures were hidden in this universe, nor any unique life form that could be used as a core for a weapon. Zatiel knew that, and the reason why he gazed into the universe was to ensure that all life forms were entities without wisdom.

If that were not the case, the Samsara Thearch would not have left.

There were two reasons why this universe was useful for Zatiel. The first one was the countles bloodlines that the life forms in it had developed, and the second was that he would not feel guilty for killing all of them.

Zatiel clasped his hand as the flaming figure of a young man with a calm smile full of potential appeared on his armor.

"Reflection of Ascension."

After using the force of Reflection of Ascension to increase the potential of his Truth and Eternal Flame, Zatiel's eyes burst with power.

The first ones to act were the Eros Eyes and Eternal Flame Pupil, generating streams of golden fire full of life that fused into the Cosmic Wall.

Normally, any universe would react full of rage and killing intent to any outsider, but the life inside those golden streams tricked the Universe Will. That was only possible since, just like the life forms inside it, the Universe Will was unable of true wisdom.

Without care or hesitation, the Universe Will devour the golden streams, sending the power into the nucleus.

That was a grave mistake since the Eternal Flame of Justice began to slowly erode the Universe Will after reaching the nucleus of the universe. By the time the Universe Will detected that something was wrong, it was too late.

Zatiel's Eros Eye and Eternal Flame Pupil stopped glowing after he took care of the Universe Will, making sure the universe would pose no resistance to his actions.

After ensuring his energy was at its peak, the Samsara Thearch's aura burst with power as the Samsara Pupil and Thanatos Eye began to glow.

The paragon armor covering Zatiel's body melted as Myriad transformed into a crystal spider web. Zatiel poured the power of the Samsara Truth and Thanatos Eye into the web before waving his hand.

Myriad followed Zatiel's command and began to expand over the Cosmic Wall. Despite the size of a standard super universe measuring in the dozens of billions of light years, the crystal spider web covered it in a few hours.

Just destroying the universe would have been no problem for the Samsara Thearch, but he wanted something much more complex.

Once Myriad had covered the entire universe, Zatiel sent his soul into the crystal spider web, fusing his consciousness into the Cosmic Wall and setting it ablaze.

An entire universe set on fire!

Such a magnificent sight was truly breathtaking and not something that would happen every day on the Emptiness. Many powerful life forms could detect it, but none dared to get closer since anyone that could set a universe ablaze was a powerhouse they could not challenge.

After fusing his consciousness into the Cosmic Wall, Zatiel could see everything happening inside the universe simultaneously, attaining some form of omniscience.

Shortly after the dark purple flames covered the Cosmic Wall, they expanded into the inside of the universe, and its effect on life forms was predictable.

Although Zatiel did not feel guilty for killing the mindless trillions of life forms inside the universe, he was not cruel, ensuring the flames were invisible so they would not feel afraid. Their lives ended without them even noticing it, instantly and without pain.

The fire did kill all life forms but did not erase their bodies, as they transformed into blood streams submerged in the sea of dark purple flames.

Once Zatiel covered the inside and outside of the universe in dark purple flames containing the power of the Samsara Truth, the crystal spider web began to compress.

Gradually the universe that was billions of light years in diameter began to compress. Its Concepts and Laws began to condense, fusing with the bloodstreams inside the sea of dark purple flames.

It took the Samsara Thearch more than six months, but he was able to refine the entire universe, holding in his hand a dark purple sphere full of bloodstreams in constant change and evolution.

'It lacks brute battle power, and its augmentation force is way inferior to the other treasures, but it holds an incredible amount of energy, and there is one Sacred King that can use its unique properties.'

Zatiel smiled since, for the first time, he was able to obtain one of the treasures without having to part in a brutal fight or face some strange cosmic force that could level an entire universe.

'Only three to go.'

The Samsara Thearch's odyssey through the Emptiness would end soon. Forging the weapons would not take him long, which was very good since he felt that danger was coming.

For a life form at the Peak Middle Stage capable of full Omnipotence and who could channel the might of Reality Override, instincts were a prediction of the future.

If Zatiel felt danger, it could only mean one thing.

'The Knights are close.'
