Abyssal Lord of the Magi World
chapter-1040

There were a lot of questions in Zatiel's mind about that man with red eyes capable of using The Flow to send him flying away with a single touch.

Zatiel turned to the distance and saw that the Guardian remained kneeling, not daring to look up. Although it was somewhat shameful, he did not blame the Guardian, as that man's aura was monstrously intense.

The Eternal Flame Pupil glowed, vanishing the fear of the Guardian's soul and heart, allowing this one to regain his composure.

The Guardian's eyes grew sharp, but there was a rueful smile on his face as he realized the weakness of his spirit.

"Ahhhh."

He could not do anything but sigh before returning to the stairs leading to the Oblivion Gate and adopting a meditative position as he calmed his mind.

"What do you know about him?"

Zatiel allowed the Guardian to compose himself before asking that question.

The Guardian stared at Zatiel before softly shaking his head.

"I recall nothing about him. That reaction was instinctive. My memories about his identity must have been erased, but my soul still remembers his power and presence."

Zatiel's eyes narrowed, but he detected no falsehood in the words of the Guardian, so he accepted that answer. In the end, there was nothing else he could do in this place, so he prepared to return.

He had already solved the karma generated when he collected the treasures for the Daybreak-Beyonder War, so nothing was binding him.

"What do you plan to do?"

The Guardian stared at Zatiel as he heard that question before smiling.

"Once you defeat the Beyonder and complete the Daybreak-Verse, I will open the gate and guide you to the next step in your story. As for how I will do that, I am not yet aware."

Zatiel softly nodded to the Guardian. It seemed he had friends on the other side of the Oblivion Gate. Of course, he knew he could not count on them for the next part of his story.

"I understand. Then, let's hope our paths are reunited in the near future."

There was no need for more words between the two as Zatiel flashed into the distance, leaving the Guardian and the gate alone.

Zatiel went straight to the Daybreak Universe. There was no need to wander the Emptiness since he would find nothing in it that could help him.

His battle power had already risen to the point that no treasure or weapons in the Daybreak-Verse could help him move forward. While he could improve his skills as Rune Master and the likes, those would not enhance his cultivation base or improve his body, soul, or energy.

It did not take long for the Daybreak Universe to appear in Zatiel's sight. He left for a very short time, but the main landmass of the universe had already recovered thanks to the power of the Samsara Sun.

There was still a lot of damage to heal, and the Nine Sacred Mountains were far from their peak. It made sense since they were the core of the Nine x Nine Killer Universe Formation, and the energy output was more than they could resist.

Zatiel arrived quietly and ensured no one detected him since he did not want to interrupt their recovery.

Orgullo, the Sacred Kings, and the rest of the Daybreak Universe's warriors were healing their wounds while at the same time growing stronger as they internalized the insights developed during the war.

As for those who perished in the Daybreak-Beyonder War, many had already resurrected and remained inside the Samsara Sun, using the energy of creation to reconstruct their bodies.

Zatiel glanced at the Daybreak Universe for a long time as a smile emerged on his face. No matter the danger, their upbringing, or their way of seeing life, the entire universe rallied behind him in the time of crisis, and those warriors were ready to fight by his side until the end.

After Dante, Noah, and Aurora, the Daybreak Universe was his greatest accomplishment. It was a utopia for those who desired peace and held a battlefield full of blood for those who wished to test themselves against death.

Zatiel slowly began to clench his fists, and silver flames burst from his eyes as there was no doubt in his mind that he would do everything to protect this place.

The Eternal Truth Black Hole Heart began to beat faster and faster as the powers of the Samsara Truth and Eternal Flame of Justice fused inside it, generating a dark golden energy.

Zatiel took control of that dark golden energy and began to use it to generate powerful runes, each with the power to alter reality. Billions upon billions of those runes materialized around him, taking the form of nine massive suns.

It took him nine months, but finally, he created runic formations that harbored an even greater version of the power once held by the Nine Sacred Mountains. With it, warriors would not only find the path to the Fourth Realm, but it could even help those talented enough to reach Omnipotence.

Zatiel waved his hand, sending each of those suns into one of the Sacred Mountains, and as soon as they fused, the entire Daybreak Universe began to tremble.

The sudden earthquake surprised the Daybreak Universe's warriors, and they all saw how a burst of dark golden light emerged from each of the Sacred Mountains.

A massive transformation occurred in each of the Sacred Mountains. Pentagram-like energy crowns emerged in each mountain, along with dark golden wings extending for billions of kilometers.

Orgullo and the Sacred Kings knew only one person could generate such a massive enhancement to the Sacred Mountains, and they soon found Zatiel's figure in the sky.

Zatiel did not say a word since he was far from over. He had destroyed the Nightmare Inferno Realm in his effort to enhance the power of the Nine x Nine Universe Killer Formation and was ready to bring it back as a better version.
