Abyssal Lord of the Magi World
chapter-554

In that small barren spot of the Prima Universe, where the Lord Beginning and End and the King in Yellow fought to the death, an event as meaningful for the multiverse as the white monster's arrival was happening.

Zatiel, who had been immobile after having his soul petrified and every cell of his body perished, trembled.

Myriad, who had been wailing in sadness inside the Bloodline Heart, could not believe what was happening. He had done everything in his power to help the Neo-Demon, but nothing worked, and now out of nowhere, this one started to tremble.

It did not take long for the Neo-Demon to tremble again, and this time, a dark purple arc of lightning-fire emerged from his body and traveled through his skin.

When Myriad saw that arc, he was utterly baffled by it. The nature of that dark purple lightning-fire was like nothing he had ever witnessed before, superior to Rebirth Force, and even Primordial Entropy Lightning could not compare.

Once the initial shock passed, curiosity appeared in Myriad's eyes, and he extended his consciousness over the Neo-Demon's body.

Inside Zatiel's dead body, there were two primordial forces right now.

One consisted of traces of chaotic karma fire and the fragmented dark Primordial Essence of the King in Yellow. This force carried the essence of the Eldritch Universe's Cause and Effect at its purest.

The other was embers of Rebirth Eclipse Bloodline that appeared as Zatie's tissues degraded combined with amorphous Mind Force. The highest truths of the Prima Universe's beginning and end were present in this force, a concept highly superior to creation and destruction.

At first, these two forces repelled each other, but as the will of their masters faded away, they deteriorated to their most basic state.

Usually, they would have left the Neo-Demon's body and wilt into the void in this state. Yet, the waves of Origin Power, life force, soul force, and refined Elemental Chaos that Myriad gathered inside the metallic cocoon formed a sort of barrier that did not allow them to leave.

Forced inside the Neo-Demon's body and with nowhere to leave, they began to clash against each other, generating these arcs of dark purple lightning-fire prime force.

More and more arcs of this prime force emerged from Zatiel's body until the bulk of the Prima Universe's concept of beginning and end and the Eldritch Universe's Cause and Effect clashed.

The Neo-Demon's body shocked uncontrollably as dark purple lightning-fire prime force emerged from his eyes and mouth and covered every corner of his body and soul!

The prime force touched Myriad's soul in the Bloodline Heart, making him feel a burning sensation and pain. He refused to leave Zatie's body and continued monitoring what was happening with expectancy in his eyes.

Unfortunately, even this prime force that stood above Rebirth Force and Primordial Entropy Lightning could not heal Zatiel's petrified soul or heal his body, whose life the karma fire extinguished.

Just as Myriad was about to lose hope, he saw that one part of Zatiel's existence managed to react to the dark purple lightning-fire prime force.

Attacks to the body are so common that even the most basic life form can do it. Those targeting the consciousness were more challenging, but most Rank 2 life forms could do it easily, and every life form at Rank 4 could target the enemy's soul. As for the ones capable of directly injuring a will, while they were more mysterious, they were not so hard to learn.

However, not even the mighty Incarnation of Life and Destruction or the eternal King in Yellow could directly damage the metaphysical manifestation of a life form's destiny, their True Name!

They were the top powerhouses of their respective universes, capable of crushing Primarchs. Still, they could not destroy True Names, and that is why while Natux and Terminus were frozen and lost their marvelous light once Zatiel's soul was petrified, they were still capable of reacting to the prime force!

When the dark purple lightning-fire prime force touched the True Name, they regained their vibrant state and began to glow with even more power, like two suns symbolizing life and death!

Natux and Terminus began to shake as the prime force overcharged them, and they glowed with the intensity of supernovas before shattering into billions of dots.

The True Name breaking apart did not stop the prime force from nurturing them. On the contrary, now that they were disorganized, it enhanced them beyond their limits, even fusing in them the power of the Eldritch Universe!

They evolved beyond the concept of beginning and end and the rules of cause and effect, becoming a force like nothing the Prima Universe or the Eldritch Universe had witnessed in all their Epochs.

The golden dots that originated from Natux evolved into a force representing the starting point of everything, the first step in a path with endless possibilities.

On the other hand, the black dots left by Terminus were the opposite. They embody the reaction that every step generated across the elusive path of destiny, the end that everything must reach once it fulfilled the purpose of its existence.

The dark purple lightning-fire prime force kept strengthening the golden and black dots until they grew to their highest stage, achieving an evolutionary step that surpassed what any super universe could achieve on its own.

Just as the golden and black dots were about to reform, the dark purple lightning-fire prime force acted one last time above them, making them clash against each other.

Their clash triggered a dark purple lightning-fire explosion that blasted Zatiel's petrified soul and lifeless body, shattering them so thoroughly that only atoms remained.

Myriad's soul that had been inside the Bloodline Heart all this time was pushed away with severe wounds. However, the same prime force that evolved the True Name impregnated the core of his Primordial Essence.

He did not have time to wonder what effect that prime force would have on his soul, as his entire focus was on the dark purple lightning-fire explosion.

The soul entered the cocoon made of metallic branches, and a dragon face appeared in the inner walls.

It did not take long for the dark purple lightning-fire explosion to calm down, revealing a set of strange letters floating in the void.

When Myriad saw them for the first time, he achieved a state of supreme enlightenment as his consciousness entered a dream.

In this dream, Myriad saw the beginning of his life, even before he gained sentience when Zatiel first started his creation. It carried on, showing him all the events that led him to this place, but it also showed the path he did not take and how those could have changed his destiny.

He saw what would have happened if he rebelled against Zatiel, and even the less critical decisions like the outcome of choosing to counterattack instead of dodging during previous battles.

Myriad experienced all those possibilities and the paths they opened. Although they were all in a dream, they felt so real that he found it hard to distinguish them from reality.

The origin of that dream was four words that displayed a power whose nature was superior to a super universe's law matrix and embodied the destiny of a man that just embarked on a path that would shake the multiverse to its core.
