Chapter 960 Beyonder
"Daybreak Universe, I am back. Celebrate with your families and friends as our home will embark on a new path of glory and blood."
Zatiel's voice made the sky across the Daybreak Universe tremble as dark purple flames flooded the heavens. It was a majestic sight that made the blood of all who saw it burn with thrill and excitement.
As Neo-Demons, Depravitas, and Eldars shouted with excitement toward the sky and celebrated the awakening of the Lord of All Existence, Zatiel waved his hand, bringing him and his close circle out of the coliseum.
Zitra, Noah, Dante, Ezequiel, Numir, Athea, Venganza, and many others appeared in a large room inside the Dream Tower. It was a throne room that had never been used before since it was made for the Samsara Thearch.
Zatiel stared at his family; his grandiose aura was gone, making it much easier for people to get near him. He showed a smile full of love as he spoke to them.
"We are back."
Zitra immediately walked toward Zatiel, but her real target was not this one but Sophia. She showed a lovely smile toward the woman with blue hair before looking at the baby in her arms and could not help but feel envy.
There was nothing but happiness in Zitra's heart at the fact that Sophia was back and there was a baby. Her envy was due to the fact that there was no happier time for a mother than when they could have their child in their embrace, and that period of her life was over since Noah had already grown up.
Sophia did not hide her baby and showed the little girl for everybody to see. Ezequiel, Dante, Noah, Athea, and many others got closer and stared at the little girl with amazement.
Each of them was a divine life form capable of shattering worlds, but they acted like any other family with the arrival of a newborn.
The little girl in Sophia's embrace opened her eyes as if she could feel the presence of people, and when she saw all those faces, she reacted like a baby would.
"WHHHAAAAA!"
She started to cry with all her strength, and waves of silver flames emerged from her body, flooding the room.
Those flames could level Low World, but they were nothing to the people that were present. However, Ezequiel and the others were surprised to see how the little girl could use the silver flames that embody her willpower in such a way. It was clear to them that her bloodline granted her an aspect of Zatiel's powers that differed from Noah's.
"Little Aurora, there is no reason to be afraid. The people here are your family." Sophia calmed the little girl. Although she still had yet to fully develop her wisdom, part of her understood those words.
Aurora focused on Dante and Noah and began to stretch her little arm. The duo did not hesitate and immediately moved forward to grab her, which proved to be a mistake since the little girl had a really playful personality.
She began to spew silver flames on their faces, pulled the duo's hair and ears, or even picked their eyes. Unfortunately for Dante and Noah, there was nothing they could do other than allow their little sister to bully them.
The one that felt the worst was Dante. He was already nearly one hundred thousand years old and a Sacred King of the Daybreak Universe, yet he had to act as the plaything for a baby.
"¡Hahahaha!"
Zatiel began to laugh as he saw the way his children behaved before waving his hand, making a large table appear in the room, full of food that was a delicacy even for Fourth Realm life forms.
"Let's eat and speak about old times before filling our minds with what would come next."
A happy and relaxed mood filled the room as everyone in it began to eat, drink, and laugh as they remembered the past and told stories about their travels over the last thousands of years.
"He called himself Morlok the Destroyer. I blasted his head like a watermelon. His soul was a good meal for Entropy."
"Hahahaha, I should have figured out something was wrong when I saw several beautiful women in the Emptiness, but curiosity got the best of me. They try to suck everything out of me, and not in a fun way."
"It was stunning, a tree born out of the ashes of a broken universe. Meditating on it helped my understanding of the Eternal Flame of Revenge."
"Hmph, you call yourself the Sacred King of Genesis, yet I still have no grandson."
Zatiel looked at Sophia and Zitra, and both women were tactful enough to leave on their own. Noah, Athea, and many others That type of cheerful conversation carried on for several hours until they consumed all the food and drinks. Once there was nothing more to eat, the aura in the room became solemn.
Zatiel looked at Sophia and Zitra, and both women were tactful enough to leave on their own. Noah, Athea, and many others understood that their cultivation was too shallow to participate in the following conversation and withdrew quietly.
In less than a minute, only Zatiel, Ezequiel, Venganza, and the nine Sacred Kings were present. That was not the full power of the Daybreak Universe since there were more powerhouses that had Rank 10 battle power like some Nightmare Kings, but this was the inner circle.
Zatiel trusted the eleven people in the room to burn their souls for the Daybreak Universe if needed, which is why he would inform them about the one final threat they had to face together.
"All of you should remember Endless Darkness' words during the Ultimate Multiversal War and how he kept referring to someone as Master."
A sharp light appeared in the eyes of the Revenge Thearch and Emptiness Thearch. Their cultivation and battle power surpassed that of Endless Darkness a long time ago, but that entity by the name of Master was something they knew nothing about.
"How strong is that individual?"
Venganza asked the question on everybody's mind. The answer would not be pretty since the enemy's strength made even Zatiel adopt a solemn attitude.
"It is not an individual."
The Samsara Thearch said nothing more before waving his hand and making the room vanish, replacing it with the Emptiness.
The Thearchs and Sacred Kings looked around them and understood this was not a mere illusion but a memory.
"After defeating Endless Darkness, I devoured his Primordial Essence, gaining all his knowledge and memories. That is how I came to learn about this thing."
Zatiel looked into the distance, and the Thearchs and Sacred Kings saw something emerging from the endless waves of energy that flooded the Emptiness.
"Universes go through Epochs, with each growing more powerful. As we learn, thanks to our knowledge about the Lord of Emptiness, the goal of the universe is to give birth to the Singularity, a True Rank 10 life form that can guide the universe beyond its limit."
Zatiel's voice echoed in the minds of Ezequiel, Venganza, and the others, but they could not take their eyes off the horror emerging before them.
"A universe can go through Nine Epochs, and if in that time they do not give birth to a True Rank 10 life forms, they must crumble into raw energy and mere back with the Emptiness from which they came. However, no system is flawless, and mistakes happen."
It took a long time due to its grotesque size, but soon everybody could see it. A deformed universe with a fleshy and bloody Cosmic Wall full of tears, from which cosmic size putrid tentacles and insect legs emerged.
A foul aura around it was so toxic and vile that it infected everything, mutating the energy and life forms around it so it could work as food. The amount of matter and energy it consumed every second was more than what a True Rank 10 life form could use in a year.
Ezequiel and Venganza could not help but clench their fists as they could feel the power in the monstrosity before them. It was so vile that not even Prima Depravita, entities born out of corruption, could compare.
The reaction of the Sacred Kings was even worse. Despite the might of their willpower, they could not help but feel terror when they saw something horrible.
There was nothing wrong with their reaction since fear was natural when facing something that defied logic and should have never existed before.
"That was the Beyonder. It is a universe that refuses to accept its end, transforming into a horrible mutation of itself whose sole purpose is to keep consuming and growing.
Its behavior is no different than cancer. There is no way to reason with it, as it sees all existences as fuel for its expansion.
Endless Darkness was a pawn used to locate new universes across the Emptiness, and now it comes for us."
It was at that point that the Beyonder's mutated Cosmic Wall trembled, revealing two deformed eyes that focused on the Thearchs and Sacred Kings, freezing their hearts.
