Abyssal Lord of the Magi World
chapter-1004

The moment the Emptiness Thearch, Revenge Thearch, nine Sacred Kings, seventy-two Samsara Astra Magicae Codex's formations, and the billions of drones appeared behind Zatiel, everything went dead silent.

The vortex of darkness unleashed seventeen powerful intents, whose power rose above the billions of monstrous life forms as dozens of mutated eyes manifested.

Although they did their best, there was no way to hide the shock in those eyes as they saw that the Daybreak Universe's warriors they had worked so hard to kill were still alive. Their attack, for which they used Reality Override, was for nothing!

Powerhouses inside the vortex of darkness were not the only astonished ones, since in the eyes of the Daybreak Universe's warriors there was also confusion.

By this point, it was clear to all that what happened was an illusion, but it was like nothing they had experienced before in their lives.

Venganza and Ezequiel looked at each other as they distinctly remembered the battle that went down a few minutes ago, and the feeling of death was still clear in their minds.

The Thearchs glanced at Codicia, who was just as confused as them. They had come to the conclusion that Zatiel used the Depravita of Greed and the Dreamweaver Castle to project an illusion into the Emptiness that contained the consciousness of every Daybreak Universe warrior.

None of the Thearchs, Sacred Kings, or Extreme Rank 9 were aware of it, which was why their reactions were so genuine.

It was so real that it managed to trick the Beyonder's Knights!

However, the Emptiness Thearch and Revenge Thearch remembered the expression on Zatiel's face and the agony in his eyes. No one could be that good of an actor, so the only reasonable explanation was that Samsara Thearch had deceived himself.

Many things could have gone wrong with that plan like Zatiel's rage and agony reaching such an extreme that he carelessly used the power of his White Sun Pupil to exert vengeance on the Beyonder's Knights.

Even worse, the Beyonder's Knights could have realized it was all a trick and attacked the Daybreak Universe's warriors' real bodies and souls, which were defenseless since their consciousnesses were inside an illusion.

Ezequiel and Vengnaza did not know if they could have taken such a dangerous path, and they could only glance at the Samsara Thearch with admiration as the scheming minds of this one really knew no limits. Zatiel managed to trick the enemy, giving them an idea of how powerful the Beyonder's army and its Knights are.

Knowing your opponent's strength was essential in a battle since the unknown was the hardest to face.

Just as the Thearchs, Sacred Kings, and Extreme Rank 9 life forms prepared to congratulate Zatiel for his vision, a cold smile appeared on this one as he raised his right hand and clenched his fist.

"THUMP!"

Shock waves echoed across the Emptiness as the Nine x Nine Killer Universe Formation began to glow with a red light full of slaughter intent.

A formation was needed to create an illusion capable of resisting the might of a Fourth Realm battlefield. Zatiel had used the Nine x Nine Killer Universe Formation for that purpose, but its mission was not just to trick the Beyonder's Knights.

Its true purpose was clear in its name, to use the power of an entire universe to generate a killing strike that could shake reality itself.

All the energy and forces in the Daybreak Universe had been silently drained by the Nine x Nine Killer Universe Formation. The Beyonder's Knights should have noticed that, but they were too busy killing and gloating at the pain of their defeated enemies inside the illusion.

The Daybreak Universe was exponentially stronger than a standard super universe, not just in quantity but also in quality. That was why the Beyonder was so keen on consuming it.

Now all that power was inside the Nine x Nine Killer Universe Formation!

The seventeen powerful presences inside the vortex of darkness could feel the threat of the massive universe-size formation full of killing intent and immediately attempted to move, but it was not so simple.

A gravitational force capable of keeping a universe in place had surrounded the vortex of darkness. Usually, its massive size allowed for an incredible battle power, but this time it made it extremely hard to break free.

"Do not let it escape!"

Zatiel shouted as he activated Reflection of Annihilation, unleashing powerful arcs of destructive dark purple flames.

It would take a few seconds for the Nine x Nine Killer Universe Formation to unleash its power, and he could not allow the vortex of darkness to leave its range.

Ezequiel, Venganza, the Sacred Kings, and seventy-two Samsara Astra Magicae Codex's formations did not waste a single second before also unleashing their most powerful attacks.

There were smiles full of coldness and rage in the eyes of the Daybreak Warriors since all of them remembered just how painful their deaths inside the illusion were, and it was time for payback!

Under Zatiel's control, the drones also unleashed energy attacks, and while their individual power was not even a millesimal fraction of a Thearch or Sacred King, they were billions.

"BOOOOMMMMM!"

"BOOMMMMM!"

"BOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM!"

"BOOMMMOOOMMMMMM!"

"BOOM!" "BOOM!" "BOOM!"

All kinds of explosions echoed across the Emptiness as the Daybreak Universe warriors pushed the vortex of darkness closer and closer to the Nine x Nine Killer Universe Formation.

The vortex of darkness was doing all in its power to resist. Still, the gravitational force of the Nine x Nine Killer Universe Formation was simply too high to fight back while they were under the onslaught of the Daybreak Universe warriors.

Finally, flashes of rage emerged from the eyes that covered the entire vortex as the energy of the seventeen powerhouses fused into one of them.

Zatiel's eyes grew sharp as he felt the energy of an individual inside the vortex of darkness rise to a whole new level. He could not see the figure of any Knights yet but was sure that the power of that was their leader, and he was someone at the Peak of the Middle Stage!

The Knight Leader took the energy of his comrades and compressed it for several seconds before a voice emerged from the vortex of darkness.

"Beyonder's Howl!"

A maelstrom formed in the core of the vortex of darkness as a monstrous mouth full of tumors and deformed teeth emerged. It disgustingly opened its maws before unleashing a black energy cannon that could wipe out everything in a range of dozens of billions of light years!

Ezequiel and Vengaza made their energy explode. That black energy cannon could destroy a considerable part of the army, and they needed to use all their power to defend against it.

However, while the duo was full of dread against that attack, Zatiel's smile grew even wider as he flashed forward.

The Daybreak Universe's warriors were surprised to see Zatiel flashing toward the energy cannon since its power should be too much, even for the mighty Samsara Thearch.

In all fairness, they were not wrong since the attack could severely wound the Samsara Thearch if this one were to block it, but that was not his plan.

Zatiel waved his hand, transforming his paragon armor into a small mirror. There was nothing impressive about this mirror at first sight, but what it was about to do would make it a legend.

"Myriad Samsara Eternal Mirror: Universe Cage!"

"ROOOOOOAAAAARRRRRRRR!"

A roar emerged from inside the mirror as Myriad made his power explode, and the mirror's surface began to glow.

"BOOOOOMMMMMMMMM!"

Shock waves spread everywhere as Zatiel used the help of Myriad Samsara Eternal Mirror to face the attack. All the energy and forces that could make a hole in a super universe were being devoured.

The Samsara Thearch's arms trembled, but he clenched his teeth and held on until the mirror devoured the last iota of energy from the Beyonder's Howl. Blood leaked from his mouth, but that did not make his smile go away.

Not only did he manage to neutralize all the power in that last attack, but the Nine x Nine Killer Universe Formation was ready to unleash its attack.

"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!"

It was like a volcano that was finally able to release its power. A wave of killer energy emerged from the pentagram formed by the combination of the Nine Sacred Mountains.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!"

Screams of pain echoed inside the vortex of darkness as the waves of killing intent and destructive power flooded every corner, burning large pieces by the second.

Shock, awe, and admiration appeared in the Daybreak Universe warriors when they saw just how powerful a formation that used the energy from their home could be.

It was not just the cannon fodder being destroyed since Ezequiel and Venganza felt that the Nine x Nine Killer Universe Formation was also disintegrating some of the seventeen powerful intents they had detected.

The Nine x Nine Killer Universe Formation was killing Beyonder's Knights!
