Abyssal Lord of the Magi World
chapter-636

After giving everybody a moment to process the tsunami of information he just unlocked for them, Zatiel made the events in the Virtual Dream Universe renew.

Issac and the other Primarchs saw how as Endless Darkness devoured world after world, the life forms of the Pre-Epoch Prima Universe did their best to enhance their power as fast as possible.

Finally, one of the golden humanoids evolved four of the Five Cores of Existence, achieving immense power. Sadly, they were still too weak to face Endless Darkness, and there was no way they would push their willpower to Rank 10 before the Pre-Epoch Prima Universe fell into oblivion.

That warrior's aura was full of resolution, and they entered the nucleus of the universe.

When that happened, Endless Darkness stopped their feast for a moment and focused on that specific golden warrior. Their aura grew cold and ruthless but also full of greed and zeal. Instead of stopping them, Endless Darkness continued consuming worlds.

"In Endless Darkness' mind, someone that took the False Path could never defeat them. Besides, if Endless Darkness managed to devour another Rank 10 life form, it would be enough to heal their wounds completely. I can assume that they saw the Pre-Epoch Prima Universe's life forms as pigs, so they had no problem letting us grow fatter."

Zatiel's words caused some anger in the Primarchs as they focused on the black humanoid that kept devouring worlds. Being treated like farm animals was as degrading as it could get.

It did not take long before the Pre-Epoch Prima Universe's warriors marched out of the universe's core, now led by a humanoid made of silver light. This newcomer was the golden humanoid that became a Rank 10 life form by taking the False Path and fusing their mind with the Universe Will.

Endless Darkness saw the army coming at them. A dark force emerged from them, enveloping High Worlds in the void.

Hundreds of High Worlds fired as projectiles toward the Pre-Epoch Prima Universe's warriors reignited the war.

The Primarchs were baffled by such a spell and were sure that attack would kill at least a third of the warriors, but they saw as the silver humanoid destroyed all those worlds with a single palm strike!

Awe filled the hearts of Issac and the others when they saw that might, but there was also some confusion. They all understood that in a war, one must make sacrifices. Still, the fact the silver humanoid destroyed all those worlds filled with trillions of life as if it was nothing puzzled them.

Someone willing to take the Fake Path must be an individual who cherished their universe's well-being more than their own. From what the Primarchs saw, it would have been easy for the silver humanoid to stop the attack and save those trillions of lives if they were willing to use more energy.

Zatiel seemed to be aware of the question in the Primarchs' minds and answered it.

"That individual forgoes their emotions and independent thoughts when they fuse with the Universe Will. Even the people he loved the most would be nothing but a stranger to them right now."

The Neo-Demon was extremely aware of the consequences of taking the Fake Path. That is why not even when he traveled to Nexus to fight a decisive battle did he consider taking that path.

What would have been the point of winning if the Universe Will eroded his ego and lost his sense of self?

"Someone that takes the Fake Path is considered the Universe Avatar. A perfect and emotionless warrior whose sole purpose is to protect the universe."

Hearing Zatiel's words, the Primarchs understood the logic behind the Universe Avatar's actions. It was clear that to them, wasting that small amount of energy to save trillions of lives would not improve their chances of winning.

Although it was an extremely calculative way of seeing things, the Primarchs had to accept the Universe Avatar was indeed a perfect warrior. Morality and the likes did not disturb them, and their only goal was to erase any threat to the universe.

Endless Darkness' showed no fear as they saw the might of the Universe Avatar. The only thing they expressed was hunger!

Universe Avatar unleashed all the power in them, sundering galaxies. Nevertheless, despite millions of Law Realm's existences battling by their side, they only managed to equal Endless Darkness.

Issac and the others could not even fathom the limits of Endless Darkness. It was clear that someone that took the True Path to Rank 10 was much more powerful than those that took the Fake Path.

The Primarchs were sure that if it weren't for Endless Darkness having reached the Pre-Epoch Prima Universe full of deadly wounds, they would have destroyed the universe during the first battle.

However, that also raised another question. Who was responsible for delivering such horrible wounds to Endless Darkness?

One thing was clear to the Primarchs. The emptiness beyond the Cosmic Wall was more dangerous than they could ever imagine.

The war carried on for months before reaching its zenith. Ninety-nine percent of the Pre-Epoch Prima Universe's life forms perished, and other than a small part of the universe's core, everything else crumbled into a raging ocean where space-time did not exist.

Nevertheless, all of that was worth it, as Universe Avatar defeated Endless Darkness!

The Primarchs could not help but smile as Universe Avatar pierced Endless Darkness' head. Yet, just as the alien life form was about to extinguish, their aura unleashed a madness that could suffocate the entire universe and chose to self-destruct.

"¡BOOM!"

Zatiel could not possibly replicate the true might of such an explosion, but the Primarchs saw how it engulfed half of the Pre-Epoch Prima Universe!

Although severely wounded, the Universe Avatar managed to survive, but that blast marked the end of all life but them.

Even worse, Endless Darkness' self-destruction triggered a chain reaction that pushed the universe to a premature end, starting an Epoch Explosion.

As a Rank 10 life form, the Universe Avatar could endure the emptiness beyond the Cosmic Wall, but they would perish with the universe since they took the False Path.

Issac released a long sigh as he saw that. Technically, the Universe Avatar and those brave warriors defeated the alien life form that threatened to devour their home. But everybody perished, and the universe reached a premature end.

Finally, the blinding light of the Epoch Explosion destroyed everything, transforming the universe into a chaotic ocean of primeval forces.

"The next part is crucial. Make sure to pay attention."

Zatiel's words made the Primarchs adopt solemn expressions as they focused on the events displayed in the Virtual Dream Universe.

Issac and the others understood that their Epoch would begin once a new Epoch Explosion occurred.

The chaotic ocean containing the three great forces that would give birth to matter, spirit, and energy grew stronger and stronger until finally, the Epoch Explosion befall.

Under the might of that explosion, a law matrix that gave an order to chaos manifested, but then a problem occurred. The Epoch Explosion seemed to awaken five cores of darkness sleeping inside the ocean of primeval forces.

The Primarchs' eyes widened when they saw that, and they felt their hearts grow cold as they understood what those cores of darkness were.

"Those...those are Endless Darkness' Five Cores of Existence!" Salomon yelled the words in everybody's mind. Not even being forced to self-destruct and enduring the might of an Epoch Explosion managed to end the alien invader.
