Chapter 965 A universe in the palm of my hand
"I will defeat the entire hive in five seconds."
Ezequiel, Venganza, and the Sacred Kings were shocked when they heard those words. They knew Zatiel was immensely powerful, but the enemy force had a True Rank 10 life form, ten Fake Rank 10, and trillions of drones that would not hesitate before killing themselves to grant the hive enough energy.
The Samsara Thearch only smiled as he flashed forward. Ezequiel, Venganza, and the others did not hesitate before following him.
Although the Rank 10 Hive was relatively close to the Daybreak Universe, it would have still taken a few hours for Ezequiel, Venganza, and the Sacred Kings to arrive at it.
However, they were advancing at such a shocking speed that it would only be a matter of minutes for the Thearchs and Sacred Kings to be in front of the Rank 10 Hive.
Ezequiel, Venganza, and the Sacred Kings' acceleration did not increase, so there was no reason for them to advance at such a shocking speed. Yet, they only needed to focus on the Zatiel and were able to find the answer.
The Samsara Thearch was folding the Emptiness around them, diminishing the space between them and the Rank 10 Hive. Their speed was the same, but the amount of space they needed to cross diminished.
It was hard to describe just how extraordinary the powers of the Samsara Thearch were. Folding space inside a universe was not complicated as long as your comprehension was high enough.
However, there were no such laws in the Emptiness, so the Samsara Thearch could only fold space by grabbing two points of the chaotic realm in which they found themselves and forcefully squeezing it.
If Zatiel could do something like that, then there was little that could stop him if he wanted to grab the Cosmic Wall of a weak universe and crush it, killing everything inside.
It became clearer by the second to the Emptiness Thearch and Revenge Thearch that the difference between the power of someone at the Initial Stage and the Middle Stage of the Fourth Realm was immense. Just their brute power was in a completely different league.
As the Rank 10 Hive became visible to their eyes without the need to use their supernatural abilities, the Samsara Thearch raised his hand, making it so that Ezequiel, Venganza, and the Sacred King would stay back.
Although the Thearchs and Sacred Kings could face the Rank 10 Hive, they obeyed Zatiel's words and would look at their battle from a distance.
The Samsara Thearch carried on, and his eyes focused on the True Rank 10 life form at the head of the hive. Its power kept rising higher and higher as the energy of the Fake Rank 10 focused on its body.
Ezequiel and Venganza narrowed their eyes as they felt the energy inside the True Rank 10 humanoid. There was a Truth forming the core of that entity, but it was fragile and unstable, lacking any special abilities.
However, it was still a Truth, so it allowed the True Rank 10 humanoid to act as a core for the battle formation that involved the entire Rank 10 Hive!
"¡Boom!" "¡Boom!" "¡Boom!" "¡Boom!" "¡Boom!"
"¡Boom!" "¡Boom!" "¡Boom!" "¡Boom!" "¡Boom!"
"¡Boom!" "¡Boom!" "¡Boom!" "¡Boom!" "¡Boom!"
The sound of millions of explosions emerged from inside the Rank 10 Hive, and the Thearch and Sacred Kings understood that the drones were undergoing self-destruction.
All the energy unleashed by those self-destructions returned to the hive so that this one could channel all of it into the True Rank 10 humanoid.
A massive tentacle of dark gray energy emerged from the center of the Rank 10 Hive, pierced into the chest of the True Rank 10 humanoid, allowing this one access to the energy pool of the hive-like universe!
"BOOOOMMMM!"
An energy shock wave emerged from the True Rank 10 humanoid as the energy inside it reached an overwhelming level.
The Thearchs and Sacred Kings frowned as they saw that since the energy inside that True Rank 10 humanoid grew so much, only Ezequiel and Venganza would be able to fight against this one now and would push them to their limit.
The worries in the hearts of the Thearchs and Sacred Kings grew to a whole new level when they saw the True Rank 10 humanoid use its four hands to channel all that energy into a sphere the size of a head.
Evidently, the Rank 10 Hive was strong enough to perceive the Samsara Thearch's cultivation as wise enough to understand that a number would mean nothing against someone so powerful.
Venganza, Ezequiel, and the Sacred Kings felt the energy inside that sphere grow stronger by the second, but Zatiel did nothing, allowing the True Rank 10 humanoid to charge the attack to its limit.
That behavior confused not only the Thearchs and Sacred Kings but also the Rank 10 Hive. Still, since the Samsara Thearch would give it time, the True Rank 10 humanoid would make sure to use it.
After nearly thirty seconds, the energy inside the sphere held by the True Rank 10 humanoid reached its zenith, only to be unleashed the next second in the form of a massive energy cannon.
"BOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMM!"
A thunderous sound echoed across the Emptiness as the True Rank 10 humanoid released that energy cannon, and it had so much power that it obliterated everything on its path toward the Samsara Thearch.
The eyes of Ezequiel, Venganza, and the Sacred Kings widened as they felt the might of that energy cannon. It had the power to make a hole in the Daybreak Universe's Cosmic Wall and could pierce through a normal super universe, leaving cataclysmic damage on its path.
And to the shock of everybody watching it, Zatiel only smiled and opened his arms as if he was welcoming the energy cannon!
It landed directly on the Samsara Thearch's body, and Ezequiel, Venganza, and the Sacred Kings saw how it disintegrated this one.
The energy cannon did not stop after shattering Zatiel's body at a molecular level, advancing millions of light years before finally fading.
Stupefaction was the only way to describe the look on the faces of the Thearchs and Sacred Kings. Zatiel did nothing to defend against that universe-killer energy cannon, taking it head-on and having his body decomposed into countless particles in the process.
None believed that the Samsara Thearch had just perished like that, but their minds could not understand what had just happened.
"You can start the count now."
Suddenly, the Samsara Thearch's voice appeared, and it seemed to come from every corner of the Emptiness.
Ezequiel, Venganza, and the Sacred Kings were shocked as they could not feel Zatiel's presence.
As for the Rank 10 Hive, it was terrified, as its instincts warned it of incapable doom, and there was nothing it could do to survive.
The True Rank 10 humanoid looked around, trying to locate the enemy that was supposed to have disintegrated under the might of the energy cannon a second ago.
Then, a figure of white flames even greater than the Rank 10 Hive began to materialize in the Emptiness. It was so immense that it was able to hold the entire hive in the palm of his hand.
Ezequiel, Venganza, and the Sacred Kings felt it hard to believe that someone so immense could exist. The only other life form larger they had seen would be the Beyonder, but that was a cancerous universe!
The cultivation of the Emptiness Thearch and Revenge Thearch allowed them to feel that the power the Revenge Thearch was using right now stood above Omnipotence!
It was not yet at the level of Reality Override, but it was more than powerful enough to overwhelm the Rank 10 Hive.
The Samsara Thearch's massive incarnation stared at the Rank 10 Hive as if looking at an insect. The difference between their cultivation was too immense for sheer brute power to balance things out.
He did not waste time, and the hand in which he held the Rank 10 Hive began to close down.
Trillions of seeds emerged from the Rank 10 Hive, flashing at superluminal speed in all directions while the True Rank 10 and several Fake Rank 10 did all in their power to generate passage through that universe-size hand.
The Rank 10 Hive understood that victory was impossible, so it shot trillions of seeds in every direction. If one of them manages to escape, it could bring the hive back to life.
It was clear that for the Rank 10 Hive, there was nothing more important than survival.
The True Rank 10 and ten Fake Rank 10 only needed to make a small hole in the flaming hand, and the seeds would find their way out, but despite using suicidal attacks, they were unable to generate an opening before the hand closed down.
Zatiel clenched the hand with all his strength, and when he opened it, there was only a broken hive with some Rank 10 life forms sealed in space-time.
From the moment the energy cannon destroyed the Samsara Thearch's body to this point, only five seconds had passed!
