Chapter 553 - Beginning (I)
Chapter 553 - Beginning (I)
The exact moment that all signs of Zatiel Daybreak's life ceased to exist in the Prima Universe, a wave of space-time force emerged from the White Sun and flooded the entire Neo-Demon Realm. It froze the body and soul of everybody present in it and stopped any form of teleportation into this one.
Even Hades failed to endure the power coming from the White Sun, but there was one who managed to resist, the Prima Universe's Champion of Justice and Order.
He usually spent all his time in deep meditation, purging the corruption that plagued his soul, but the wave of space-time force woke him up.
At first, he was just a little surprised, but then he frowned after detecting billions of white runes emerging over the Final Purgatory's surface and how this one started to spin the next second.
Although he could perceive the state of the pyramid and the changes in the laws, that did not mean he could interfere with them.
The Final Purgatory revolved at a speed that surpassed the one that even a Rank 9 Shooting Star Archangel could achieve, and the white runes in it glowed with the might of thousands of suns.
A contemplative expression appeared in the Champion of Justice and Order as he attempted to decipher what happened with the divine treasure that could stand equal with the Final Gate.
'It is charging!' Just as that thought crossed his mind, the Final Purgatory shot a white beam of incredibly powerful energy.
He detected how the beam immediately left the Neo-Demon Realm and headed to someplace in the void.
"What was that!" The Champion of Justice and Order was astounded. The powers and energy in that beam were like nothing he had ever seen before in his life.
Unfortunately, no one would give him an answer, and the moment the beam left the Neo-Demon Realm, it abandoned his range of perception.
The white beam did not travel through the physical plane of existence and instead moved through the layers of space. That was very lucky for the worlds in its path, as the power in it could have pierced a Principal World's Crystal Wall in an instant.
It drove at a fantastic speed, getting further away from the Prima Universe's center, quickly reaching the periphery, leaving the zones capable of raising any form of life.
Just as the beam seemed to extend into infinity, it collided with an invisible barrier at the edge of the Prima Universe.
"?BOOOOOOOM!"
An explosion that shattered the Prima Universe's law matrix for billions of kilometers occurred when the white beam clashed with the invisible barrier.
The first life form to detect this explosion was the man who dedicated his life to the Prima Universe's safety and who had made sure to leave alarm beacons that would warn him of any significant upheaval.
Issac planned his next move against the Eldritch Universe when his eyes widened. He immediately turned to the Prima-Eldritch Universe Final Battlefield but saw nothing wrong with it, so he focused his consciousness on detecting the origin of the alarm.
The white explosion did not take long to appear in his consciousness, and when the raging energies vanished, he saw an invisible barrier that began to turn gray, with a large area of it full of cracks.
"?Impossible!"
Issac was shocked since that gray wall at the edge of the Prima Universe was the Cosmic Wall, something that even Primarchs should not be able to harm, and yet now, a part of it was packed with ruptures!
Although Issac did not know how that could happen, he understood the great danger the Prima Universe would face if the Cosmic Wall broke.
He sent a message to the other Primarchs, and then he headed to the wound in the Cosmic Wall, using the portals he assembled through the universe to improve his speed.
Thanks to his preparations, Issac reached the location in less than a minute. When he saw those giant scars with his own eyes, the Magus found it hard to imagine what could carry such destructive power.
Luckily for the Magus, the scars were fixing themselves at an extremely fast rate, and it would only be a matter of minutes before they vanished, and the Cosmic Wall returned to its invisible state.
'Good, I just need to guard it until...'
"CRACK!!!"
Before Issac could finish his thought, he heard the sound of glass breaking and saw something that startled him.
A hand bathed in white flames so immense that words could not accurately describe it pierced the Cosmic Wall from outside the Prima Universe!
"CRACK!!!"
The Magus did not even have time to process what was happening before another hand bathed in white fire pierced the Cosmic Wall again.
Both hands began to pull, enlarging the wound on the Cosmic Wall, generating a passage!
The idea of someone using his bare hands to open the Cosmic Wall was inconceivable for the Magus, but it happened right in front of his eyes.
A wave of incredible pressure and Origin Power woke the Magus out of his shock, and he felt the presence of the Universe Will that started to pull the broken edges of the Cosmic Wall back together, fighting back against those hands.
The speed at which the passage enlarged diminished but did not stop, meaning that the Universe Will could not surpass the creature outside the Prima Universe.
Issac knew that there was no way to defeat the creature, but doing nothing was not an option, so he made his energy explode, generating a powerful golden aura that contained the pure and fierce power of truth.
He gathered all that power in his right hand and was about to fire a spell more potent than hundreds of supernovas, but at that exact instant, the passage opened wide enough for him to stare at two giant red eyes.
At that moment, Issac, the Universal Truth, the Magus Primarch, the Dark Tower's Leader, froze as an absolute fear assaulted him.
Looking at those two red eyes made him feel so incredibly inferior that his body and soul stopped working.
"ZNNN!"
"ZNNN!"
The sound of two powerful teleportations echoed through this corner of the universe as a giant the size of a Principal World and a dragon with a crown made of flaming worlds appeared.
These were the Primarchs of the Titan Race and Dragon Race, behemoths of the Prima Universe, feared and respected by everybody, individuals that no one would dare to offend. Nevertheless, when they stared at those red eyes on the other side of the passage, the same terror that assaulted Issac's soul paralyzed them.
"?AHHHHHH!"
A roar full of resolve woke the giants, and they turned to the Magus, who overcame the spiritual pressure of the creature by sheer willpower.
Issac once again gathered the golden aura on his hand and fired his spell, generating thousands of golden palms that came crashing down in the creature's face.
A golden explosion covered the passage, and the fear assaulting the Dragon Primarch, and Titan Primarch vanished. The duo stared at the Magus with respect, and deep inside, they felt ashamed of their weakness.
None of them had time to speak about what just happened as the golden explosion vanished almost immediately, and the trio saw the creature's face again.
To their shock, those golden palms that could have killed a weak Rank 9 life form only weakened the mantle of white flames covering the creature.
The attack did have a critical effect on the creature, as those red eyes that were emotionless before now stared at the trio with incredible coldness.
"ROAR!!!"
The creature unleashed a roar, generating a shock wave that crossed the passage and pushed the three Primarchs away as they vomited blood.
As they moved through the void without control, the trio detected how the hands pulled with even more strength the broken edges of the Cosmic Wall, making the passage large enough so the creature could pass their head through it.
They open their mouth again, not to release another roar but to charge a world-size white fireball.
Issac's eyes narrowed as he saw the power of that fireball, and he was sure that even if the trio survived, they would lose their bodies, and after seeing their fate, no one would come to face this creature.
Instead of fear, the emotions that appeared in the Magus Primarch's face were determination and rage. He burned some of his life force, forcefully mobilizing his energy to regain control of his body before a golden matrix appeared on his skin and eyes.
When the Dragon Primarch and Titan Primarch saw the golden matrix, they understood what the Magus would do, and the respect they felt for this one grew even more, as did the shame they felt for their weakness.
The creature noticed the changes in the Magus and kept charging the spell, but just as they were about to attack, those giant red eyes that terrified the trio a moment ago widened as shock and disbelief appeared in them.
They no longer bothered with the trio, deactivating the white fireball, turning their head to the left, and focusing on a distant point in the Prima Universe.
Issac was surprised by the sudden change in his opponent, and although the creature was distracted, he did not take the chance to attack.
He believed that using the golden matrix could allow him to harm the creature, but delivering a fatal blow was out of the question, so unless it were absolutely necessary, he would not use it.
The one question that appeared in the mind of Issac, and the other two Primarchs, was what could have shocked this invincible monster so much that they decided to stop their attack.
