Chapter 998 Two New Middle Stage
Chapter 998 Two New Middle Stage
?
The killing intent flooding the Daybreak Universe's sky grew stronger as the Samsara Thearch's words echoed inside the mind of every single powerhouse.
Zatiel showed a cold smile as he saw that before the figure on his paragon armor changed to the Reflection of Ascension. His control over universal forces rose as he raised both hands.
A shocking sight assaulted all the powerhouses the next second when they saw the sky of the Daybreak Universe that had fused with the killing intent of over five hundred Extreme Rank 9 life forms fall to the ground!
"BOOOOOMMMMMMM!"
The earth trembled as the clash of the slaughter sky leveled everything other than the Nine Sacred Mountains. Had any life form beneath Rank 9 been still inside the Daybreak Universe, they would have suffered a horrible death.
Just as the powerhouses wondered about the plan of the Samsara Thearch, he looked down. His sight was not on the earth but on the dimension beneath this one where killing was common, and fights for power happened daily.
The Nightmare Inferno Realm trembled before imploding, generating a sea of dark red energy full of killing intent and malice.
Shock appeared on the powerhouse, especially those that rose from the Nightmare Inferno Realm when they saw their domains explode under the command of the Samsara Thearch. Although it was a disturbing sight, it made everybody understand just how important the next war would be.
Zatiel could fix everything, returning the Daybreak Universe to its original state after the war was over. Until then, he needed to transform their home into a weapon capable of universal annihilation.
Under the control of the Samsara Thearch, the raging sea of energy left from the explosion of the Nightmare Inferno Realm fused into the earth, focusing most of its power in the Nine Sacred Mountains.
A dark red fog began to permeate the Sacred Mountains, and the powerhouses could feel an incredibly destructive and venomous power. It was so dangerous that even the Emptiness Thearch and Revenge Thearch felt threatened since any wounds infected by that power would not heal easily.
Zatiel focused on the Nine Sacred Mountains and was satisfied with their evolution. It will take time before the sky, and the underworld's killing intent completely transforms them.
"Emptiness Thearch and Revenge Thearch, a step forward."
Venganza and Ezequiel immediately flashed toward the Samsara Therch when this one summoned them. They adopted solemn expressions as they stood right in front of the strongest life form of the Daybreak Universe that was right now unleashing the full power of his cultivation.
Zatiel stared at the duo, waving his hand, making golden and dark crystal hearts appear.
As soon as the Infinity's Soulbound Heart and Lawweaver's Essence Heart emerged from the Samsara Thearch's Inner Universe, the Laws and Concepts of the Daybreak Universe entered a state of utter exhilaration.
The Sacred Kings, Nightmare Kings, and all the other powerhouses that saw those crystal hearts felt absolute awe and wonder. The force of each was beyond their understanding, but it was clear that they were infinitely powerful.
Ezequiel and Venganza were Peak Initial Stage life forms so they could grasp those crystal hearts' true essence and might, making the astonishment and wonder inside their souls all the greater.
"Ezequiel Invictus, Emptiness Thearch. You were my first follower, and we carved a path of blood for our people, giving them justice and freedom. I grant you the Infinity's Soulbound Heart."
Zatiel grabbed the dark crystal heart and buried it into Ezequiel's chest.
"BOOOOMMMMMMMM!"
Silence reigned for a second before a resounding explosion of energy and power emerged from the Emptiness Thearch's body, echoing across the entire Daybreak Universe.
Sky-blue flames set Ezequiel's body ablaze as his cultivation evolved to the limit of the Initial Stage. He rose to the sky as the power of his Fourth Realm Eternal Flame began to harmonize with his Truth, unlocking Omnipotence!
Venganza's eyes were full of wonder as he saw Ezequiel's massive increase in power, but they immediately grew sharp as he focused on the dark crystal heart.
"Venganza, the Revenge Thearch. Our origin is the same, but our future belongs only to our decisions. You stood by my side during the Ultimate Multiversal War and fought bravely against Endless Darkness. I grant you the Lawweaver's Essence Heart."
Zatiel took the golden crystal heart and imbued it into the chest of the Revenge Thearch.
"BOOOOOMMMMMMM!"
A blast of power also emerged from the Revenge Thearch's body, but unlike the ethereal sky-blue flame of Emptiness Thearch, a black force flooded inside his body, arising from his eyes.
Venganza rose to the sky as well, as his Truth began to harmonize with the Eternal Flame of Revenge, pushing his cultivation to the Middle Stage of the Fourth Realm!
Smiles full of thrill filled the faces of the powerhouses as they felt the powers of the Revenge Thearch and Emptiness Thearch rising to the Middle Stage.
Although all of them would have an essential role in the upcoming war, they were smart enough to understand that the weight of victory and defeat would fall on the Thearchs. The stronger the trio were, the higher the chances of success.
Zatiel focused on Venganza and Ezequiel and noticed the harmonization between their Eternal Flames and Truths carried on smoothly.
After that was over, he turned toward the nine strongest warriors beneath the Thearchs, whose mission in life was to protect the Daybreak Universe at all costs.
"Sacred Kings, to me!"
Zatiel's voice had yet to fade when nine figures flashed toward him, adopting kneeling stances in the air. There was a sharp light in their eyes as they waited.
The Samsara Thearch stared at the nine and felt the bursting strength of their souls and bodies. It was clear to him that even those that went to pacific universes took this time to improve their cultivation.
He made nine treasures appear in the air. While they were not in the same grade as the Infinity's Soulbound Heart and Lawweaver's Essence Heart, the combined power of the nine was enough to make the Daybreak Universe tremble.
The nine Sacred Kings glanced at the weapon and instantly connected with them. It made sense, after all, the Samsara Thearch used the essence and memories the nine left in the Sacred Mountains were used to give them form.
Zatiel took two swords covered in golden runes, one unleashing a scorching heat and the other a freezing cold before going to the Sword Sacred King.
"Heinz, Sword Sacred Kings, my brother. I will give you the World Clashing Swords."
Both swords flashed toward Heinz's hands, fusing with his palms before establishing a link with his soul and body, which made his power skyrocket.
The Sword Sacred King bowed to Zatiel as his power rose higher and higher. There was no need for words since he would prove worthy of them by killing the enemies of the Daybreak Universe!
Zatiel nodded as he moved to the Nihility Sacred King before summoning two wings of a malevolent specter, emanating an aura of absolute nihility that dissolves all meaning.
"Nero, Nihility Sacred King, trusted commander of my forces. I will give you the Voidmourn Wings."
Following the words of the Samsara Thearch, the Voidmourn Wings replaced Nero's Fallen Wings, making a gray force field emerge around his body that seemed capable of erasing Laws and Concepts.
The Nihility Sacred King immediately took control of the immense power of his new weapon and bowed to the Samsara Thearch.
Like the Sword Sacred Kings, Nero planned to show he was worthy with actions and did not waste his time with words.
Zatiel carried on, and a tender smile appeared on his face as he saw the next Sacred King.
"Dante, Genesis Sacred King, my firstborn. I will give you the Starlight Eternal Arc."
Dante rose his sight and saw a celestial bow glowing with stardust and overwhelming life and origin force. It positioned itself between his wings before making a golden green force emanate from every cell of his body and particles of his soul.
A sharp light appeared on the Genesis Sacred King as he felt the bow's intent and power and understood his role in the battle. He did not say a word and bowed.
Zatiel nodded when he saw his son understand the weapon's role before moving to the next Sacred King. He stood in front of an old man with a white bear, and while he had the most senior appearance in the group, he also had the highest energy level.
"Issac, Sacred King of Endlessness, wise man and teacher of geniuses. I will give you the Cosmic-Fusion Gauntlets."
Golden gauntlets with strange runes covering every inch of them flew toward the Sacred King of Endlessness before fusing with his hands.
The runes began to glow with multicolored light as they fused with Issac's energy pool, making his energy rise to an outlandish level.
Issac took control of his overwhelming energy, stopping it from exploding, before bowing to the Samsara Thearch.
