Abyssal Lord Of The Magi World

Chapter 996 Exodus

?

The Samsara Thearch could feel the killing aura that permeated the soul of the Revenge Thearch, one that could only be achieved upon the genocide of an entire race. It was clear that, unlike Ezequiel, Venganza had to taint his hands in the blood of trillions to make a safe haven for the Daybreak Universe.

Zatiel did not offer any word of consolation since he knew they would be empty. After all, he was the one that sent them to those universes and commanded them to erase any threat to their people, regardless of the cost.

Besides, the Samsara Thearch knew that the Revenge Thearch would overcome that with time due to his immensely powerful willpower.

Not allowing more distractions, Zatiel focused on the Endless Wheel of Samsara Reincarnation and carried on with transforming the formation into a portal. 

He focused on the information of the orb left behind by Venganza, finding another nexus for the portal. 

Thanks to his mastery of the Law Path and Omnipotence, it was not hard for Zatiel to create a multiversal portal. He just had to ensure the connection between the two points was stable enough so no one would get harmed during the trip.

On the same day that Ezequiel and Venganza arrived, the Daybreak Universe saw the arrival of the two Sacred Kings of the Depravita Race. 

Orgullo and Codicia's eyes were cold, and the duo found it hard to hide their killing intent. Just like the Revenge Thearch, the Depravita of Pride and Depravita of Greed had to kill a lot of people so the new universe would be safe for their people. 

Ezequiel was in the sky, and when he saw the state of the duo, he felt that other than killing intent, there was exhaustion. It was not a fatigue of the body but of the mind and soul.

"What happened?"

Orgullo looked at Ezequiel, but he remained silent and was not in the mood to talk. Codicia's disposition was not any better, but he answered the question of the Emptiness Thearch. 

"We went to the Gaia Universe. The people there were peaceful, and so were their powerhouses. There should not have been a problem since we planned to make our stronghold on an inhabited part of the universe. 

However, this universe had a supreme ruler that had fused with the Universe Will. She rejected our presence, and once it was clear we would not leave, she commanded the universe's powerhouses to attack us."

Codicia said nothing else, but Ezequiel could imagine what happened next. The Depravita of Pride and Depravita of Greed were forced to kill all those powerhouses before taking care of that supreme ruler.

Since she had fused with the Universe Will, they could not destroy her as that would have harmed the Universe Nucleus. The only path for them was to cleanse the mind of all the life forms in the universe, forcing the Universe Will to be born again.

It must have certainly not been a pleasant task, but Orgullo and Codicia did it without hesitation. Their sense of morality and justice mattered very little when it came to the survival of their race and the entire Daybreak Universe.

Orgullo sent an orb with the information about the Gaia Universe to the Samsara Thearch before he and Codicia flashed toward the Depravita Sacred Mountain. The duo wanted to be in peak condition for the incoming war and needed to cleanse their minds of all those unnecessary thoughts. 

Over the course of two weeks, all the Sacred Kings returned to the Daybreak Universe. Some had auras full of peace and serenity, while a gloomy and dark atmosphere covered others.

The experience of the invasion of the six universes and the formation of safe havens was not the same for all of them. 

There were those like Heinz and Dante that faced people willing to reach a compromise, not resisting the invasion of the Daybreak Universe in exchange for safety and knowledge. Yet, there were also those that were unwilling to accept outsiders, willing to start wars that encompassed the entire universe.

When words did not work, the Sacred Kings could do nothing other than kill everybody in their path. 

Zatiel glanced to the side once the last of the six nexus orbs arrived. He saw the gloomy aura on En and Ivar and knew the duo faced a lot of difficulties in completing their mission.

Although the Thearchs and Sacred Kings adopted a pacifistic method as their first choice, they were willing to kill to get what they wanted from those universes. Some might think that did not make them any better than Endless Darkness.

Even if their goals were honorable, that did not change things for the people they killed. 

The Samsara Thearch knew the weight of the mission he gave to the Thearchs and Sacred Kings, but he had no problem with it. Even if his behavior was sinful and compromised his ideals and beliefs, that was a price he was willing to pay in order to protect the utopia that was the Daybreak Universe.

Zatiel worked faster and faster. Finally, the entire sky began to tremble before unleashing a powerful space-time wave, glowing with sky-blue and purple light. 

The Thearchs and Sacred Kings looked to the sky, and even those conflicted about what they did in those foreign universes smiled as their hard work and sacrifice paid off. All life forms in the Daybreak Universe that would not participate in the war could leave through the sky into one of the six distant universes, where they would be safe.

Zatiel was also extremely pleased, and he smiled and finally allowed himself to rest for a moment. The weapons and drones for the upcoming war were already taken care of, and now the safety of his people was guaranteed. 

His eyes began to glow as he stared into the distance, allowing him to see the vortex of darkness and destruction coming at the Daybreak Universe.

'We have at least five years before they reach us.'

Five years might sound much, but that was a blink of an eye for life forms like the Samsara Thearch. Knowing what would happen during this war and what side would win was impossible. So he did not waste his time.

"In one year, all life forms with a battle power beneath the Extreme Rank 9 will leave the Daybreak Universe through the Multiversal Samsara Portal. Use this time as you see fit."

Zatiel's words echoed across the Daybreak Universe, reaching the mind of everybody.

All the powerhouses already understood that a war was coming, so they were not surprised, but common people had just been living their peaceful lives when they were told by the Samsara Thearch they would have to leave their homes in one year. 

Zatiel knew he could have delivered that news more tactfully but did not want to lose another second. He teleported to the Dream Tower before waving his hand, making two women, a young man, and a baby appear.

Sophia, Zitra, and Noah stared at Zatiel with sadness and pain in their eyes. The only one smiling was Aurora since the little baby did not understand what was happening. 

None would remain behind for the war, and all would be transported into one of the safe haven universes. 

Sophia and Zitra were Extreme Rank 9 life forms thanks to the evolution of their bloodlines, having gestated the children of the Samsara Thearch. 

While both women were powerful, their presence would be a distraction for the Samsara Thearch, and unlike Dante, who needed to remain behind to fulfill his duty as a Sacred King, they did not have those obligations.

Zatiel showed a tender smile as he embraced his wives, son, and daughter. If things go wrong, this would be the last year he spent with them, and he would enjoy every second of it.

For the next year, the notion of war vanished from Zatiel's mind as he enjoyed his time with his family. He trained with Noah, teaching his son about the wonders of the Emptiness, and played with Aurora.

All his nights were spent with his Zitra and Sophia, enjoying their time together.

For the first time in thousands of years, Zatiel stopped thinking about cultivation and the path forward, simply allowing his mind to relax. 

Unfortunately, everything good had an end, and the year finally ended. Depravitas, Neo-Demons, and Eldars began to evacuate the Daybreak Universe. It did not take much effort since all life forms were able to fly and could carry their belongings inside their space rings.

They would select a universe and teleport to it as soon as they touched the formation in the sky. 

Zatiel saw how Sophia, Zitra, Noah, and Aurora left through the portal, and he was not alone since many others were seeing their loved ones go as well. Although seeing them leave was hard, it filled him with peace, knowing they would be safe no matter what.
