Abyssal Lord of the Magi World
chapter-1024

The eyes of every great warrior from the Daybreak Universe and Beyonder's Army turned toward the parallel dimension where the Sacred Kings were fighting against the Initial Stage Knights.

The reason was simple: a burst of life and power emerged from one of the Sacred Kings, one so immense that it could only signify the rise to the Fourth Realm in both the Law Path and Essence Path.

"¡BOOOOMMMM!"

Shock waves emerged from Orgunllo as his power rose higher and higher. Golden energy that embodied the essence of pride itself and a dark light whose power seemed capable of sundering the universe burst from the Depravita of Pride.

Necrothorn and Deadmourne, the two Sky Demon Knights, saw how their enemy's power rose exponentially to a level they could only dream of, but they could do nothing about it. Not only were those shock waves of golden energy and dark light to power, but Codicia and Ira were in front of Orgullo, and the determination in their eyes made it clear they were willing to give their lives to protect their brother.

Everything was happening extremely fast, but for Orgullo, every nanosecond was like a whole day as his mind's Law Path finally broke through, allowing him to master his Truth.

The battle with Necrothorn and Deadmourne and the pressure of understanding that failure could mean the end of the Daybreak Universe allowed Orgullo to fully excavate every ounce of talent and energy inside his body and soul, finally allowing him to take the next step.

Since his Law Path had completed his evolution, Orgullo no longer suppressed his Concept Path, allowing his Eternal Flame of Pride to burst with all its power.

The name of the Truth manifested as a dark light capable of obliterating everything in its path was Domination. It was a power that sought to attain domain over all things, to rise above every obstacle, allowing its master to see things from the highest stage, looking down on existence itself.

Orgullo's right eye glowed with dark light while golden flames burst from the left one as his existence broke through the Fourth Realm, but that was just the beginning.

Just reaching the Fourth Realm would not be enough. There was a reason why he waited for so long and suppressed his cultivation even after starting a fight with two extremely powerful Initial Stage Knights. He wanted to achieve the same feat as the Samsara Thearch, to simultaneously breakthrough in both paths and rise to the Middle Stage immediately!

With a deep inhalation, Orgullo closed his eyes, seeking a connection with the very essence of his being. Within him, the Eternal Flame of Pride roared to life, its vibrant energy resonating with his heartbeat. The flame symbolized not just his inner strength but also his unyielding determination and his unwavering pursuit of self-perfection.

Yet, the Eternal Flame remained untamed, a wild force of unrefined potential. Orgullo understood that his journey to the Fourth Realm demanded more than brute strength; it required insight, control, and the mastery of his innermost truths. His consciousness delved into the essence of his Eternal Flame, seeking to unveil its true nature.

As he journeyed through the depths of his own being, a revelation struck him. The Eternal Flame was not merely an external force; it was a reflection of his innermost desires and convictions. It was a manifestation of his unquenchable thirst for greatness, his indomitable spirit that defied all odds. Orgullo realized that this flame was not a mere power to be harnessed but a part of his identity, a representation of his very essence.

And so, he began to merge his consciousness with the Eternal Flame, forging a profound connection. The flame responded, its flickering intensity resonating with his emotions. With this newfound connection, Orgullo sought to harness the flame's power, not through dominance, but through harmony.

Simultaneously, the resonance with his Truth, Domination, began to deepen. Domination was not just a means to subjugate others but a path to establish dominion over one's own existence. It was about transcending limitations, defying destiny, and crafting his fate with unyielding will. In this revelation, Orgullo recognized that Domination was not a force that imposed itself upon the world but a tool for him to shape his reality.

As the insights flowed, Orgullo's golden flames began to shift. They merged with the dark light of Domination, resulting in a fusion that radiated an unparalleled brilliance. This amalgamation symbolized the union of Orgullo's inner desires and his Truth, a realization that to dominate others; one must first need to dominate himself.

The intensity of this newfound power surged, the air around Orgullo crackling with energy. With his eyes glowing with both golden flames and dark light, he opened them, and reality seemed to quiver under his gaze. In that moment, the Eternal Flame of Pride and the Truth of Domination melded into a harmonious synergy.

The impact was immediate and profound. The tumultuous energy around him began to bend to his will as if acknowledging his mastery over its very essence. The ground trembled, trees swayed, and the very fabric of the world seemed malleable under his influence. The resonance of his two powers birthed a resonance that echoed with the laws of the universe, elevating his existence to a realm beyond.

As the energy surged within him, Orgullo's form seemed to transcend its mortal confines. His being radiated an aura of supremacy, an overwhelming presence that was both awe-inspiring and terrifying. The air was heavy with his power, and his gaze held the weight of dominion over all he surveyed.

In this moment of ascension, Orgullo stood at the threshold of Omnipotence. His Eternal Flame of Pride, refined by his insights, merged seamlessly with the Truth of Domination. The dark light and golden flames fused, each enhancing the other, creating a force that was not just power but a statement of his existence.

With his mind fully aligned, Orgullo took a step forward, and the world shifted. He had transcended the boundaries of his former self, stepping into a new realm of power and understanding.

"ZZNNN!"

The resonant sound of space shattering reverberated through the void, marking the rupture of the parallel dimension that had confined the Sacred King's battle. Having reached the Fourth Realm and harnessed the combined power of his Domination Truth and the Eternal Flame of Pride, it was time to move on. He used his new power to traverse into the highest battlefield immediately.

The collective sighs of relief from the Initial Stage Knights were audible as they watched Orgullo depart after his meteoric ascent. Their precarious situation could have turned disastrous if the Depravita of Pride had chosen to remain and fight, even for the briefest of moments. Fortunately, the climax of the battle between Thearchs and the Harbinger of Desolation on the highest battlefield prompted Orgullo's swift departure.

However, jubilation among the Knights was short-lived as the abrupt disruption of a Knight's aura resonated across their senses. All eyes turned to Necrothorn and Deadmourne, where shock and awe mingled as they witnessed Necrothorn disintegrate into motes of dust and Deadmourne suffer from a grievous wound, her chest penetrated by a bloody hole and surrounded by the luminescence of golden flames.

Orgullo's unparalleled prowess manifested in an instant – eliminating one Initial Stage Knight and inflicting a near-fatal blow upon another. This display of power far exceeded the realm expected of someone who had just entered the Middle Stage. The Knights and Sacred Kings alike grappled for comprehension, their attention locked onto Orgullo as he redirected his intentions toward Nihilak.

From the Harbinger of Desolation emanated a palpable aura of coldness and unyielding intent as he surged forward to engage Orgullo's oncoming assault. He had nearly landed a lethal wound on the Samsara Thearch, so one could imagine his hatred toward the one that prevented it.

"BOOOOOOMMMMM!"

The collision was explosive, a cataclysmic eruption of dark golden flames entwined with inky gravitational forces, each vying for dominance. The resultant detonation rippled across the expanse, propelling Orgullo backward while only marginally displacing Nihilak, underscoring the evident power hierarchy between the two.

Orgullo, however, commanded newfound respect from even the most potent combatants, as his swift recovery demonstrated his mastery over his own form. The golden flames and dark light that had encompassed him faded, unveiling his new weapon. The Voidheart Cloak had been transformed, now clutched as a halberd in his right hand. The staff's intricate design was veiled in glistening golden flames, while the blade itself bore the embodiment of the dark light.

This evolution of the Voidheart Cloak epitomized the fusion of Orgullo's Domination Truth and the Eternal Flame of Pride. With this weapon, he seemed capable of cleaving through all obstacles with impunity, sundering the very fabric of reality itself. The resonating power of his presence was a testament to his ascent to the Fourth Realm and the unyielding synergy he had achieved between his innermost convictions and the truths he embodied.
