While Thearchs, Sacred Kings, and the special Samsara Astra Magicae Codex's formations controlled by life forms with Rank 10 battle power fought in parallel dimensions, another clash was going on.
In the Emptiness' main plane of existence, two massive armies composed of countless soldiers clashed with absolute ferocity. There were billions of drones, with many at the Extreme Rank 9, fighting against hordes of deformed monsters that belonged to the Beyonder's army.
Not to mention there were also sixty-six Samsara Astra Magicae Codex formations clashing against gargantuan beasts with Rank 10 battle power.
Although the might of these fights could not compare with those of the parallel dimensions and could barely influence those battlefields, it was mightier than the Ultimate Multiversal War between the Alpha Universe and Prima Universe.
Even the weakest battlefield of the Daybreak-Beyonder War was more destructive than the final clash between the Alpha Universe and Prima Universe. That should be enough to tell everybody the might of this war and the repercussions it would have across existence if the winner were the wrong side.
Right now, every warrior from the Daybreak Universe and every pawn from the Beyonder are entangled in a battle to the death. No one would stop fighting as long as there was life in their bodies or until a winner emerged from the mighties of the battlefield, the one that involved life forms capable of Omnipotence.
Dark and silver flashes collided over and over, with one unleashing blast of dark purple flames capable of ending the samsara cycle and the other waves of black gravitational force that could disrupt the space-time continuum.
Every time Zatiel's sword clashed with Nihilak's arms, he felt his bones trembling due to the overwhelming physical might of the Knight.
The worst part for the Samsara Thearch was that the Knight's body was just as resilient as his arms, and it took an overwhelming amount of strength to leave the slightest wound.
On the other hand, every time Nihilak managed to land a blow on Zatiel, he would shatter ribs and tear muscles apart.
If that were all, it would not be very hard to determine the future winner of this clash, but things were never so simple, especially in a fight between Omnipotent life forms.
Nihilak had incredible resilience and had only received minor wounds after hours of fighting, but he could not heal them. His body and soul were made out of Late Stage's flesh, blood, and spirit particles, so regeneration was nearly impossible without the assistance of Reality Override's power.
Unlike the Knight, The Samsara Thearch's body healed almost instantly from any damage he took. Every cell and particle of his body had been overflowed by the energy of the Oblivion Gate's nucleus. Unless it involved his brain or hearts, he could heal in less than a nanosecond of any damage.
"¡BOOM!"
An explosion of dark purple fire and waves of black gravitational force sent the Knight and Samsara Thearch in different directions.
Zatiel immediately regained control over his body and used that moment to analyze the state of all battlefields.
There was a balance between the forces from both sides, and it did not seem one would overcome the other anytime soon.
Although just waiting for the Daybreak Army to overcome the Knights so they could help them was a chance, Zatiel would not let things up to fate.
Zatiel's energy burst, and an eclipse formed behind his back. The moon was not containing a sun's radiance but something much more powerful.
Behind that moon was a gate to a universe flooding with dark purple fire and golden flames. The quantity of energy inside that universe was higher than most super-universe, and the quality of the forces was something that a Lord of Emptiness could never create.
That was the Samsara Thearch's Inner Universe, all its energy being unleashed. That would have been enough to release a devastating attack, but Zatiel went to the next level.
He used a moon to compress all the energy emerging from his Inner Universe to the breaking point, forcing a quality improvement in the attack.
"BOOOOMMMMMM!"
A burst of dark flames emerged from Zatiel's sword as the Reflection of Annihilation transformed all the power into destructive might.
The Samsara Truth and Eternal Flame of Justice had immense power for creation, but the paragon armor transformed everything into killing power.
Nihilak's eyes were cold as he focused on the eclipse and felt the power of the dark flames emerging from the Samsara Thearch's sword. He perceived the seal of time-space, and even for someone as powerful as him, it would be impossible to evade that attack.
The Knight and the Samsara Thearch had clashed over one hundred thousand times already, but this was the first Fourth Realm Omnipotent Spell launched, and it marked the evolution of their battle to the next level.
Nihilak's fists clenched, and coldness emerged in his eyes as he realized that even his Late Stage body would not take that attack head-on. The Knight hid it, but there was envy in his heart as he understood how profound the Samsara Thearch's cultivation insights and mastery were.
Even though both were Peak Middle Stage life forms, Nihilak knew that the Samsara Thearch had already taken one step into the Late Stage.
Of course, that realization only made the killing intent in the Knight burst with even greater power.
Nihilak opened his arms, generating a black hole between them. Its gravitational force was so immense that it immediately formed cracks in the fabric of reality, but it was not enough.
Zatiel saw Nihilak condensing that black hole, pushing its gravitational power to the next level. Still, he did not lose focus and kept compressing the energy of his Inner Universe, increasing the power of the bursting dark flames.
"Sundering Samsara: Flame of End!"
"CRACK!"
The moon shattered into billions of pieces as a burst of energy flooded Zatiel's body. He felt his body was about to explode, but he clenched his teeth and channeled everything in his sword, making the dark flames rise to an incredible level as he discharged them forward.
Ezequiel, Tormentras, Venganza, and Ravakir were fighting with all their power as well, but while they did not stop for even a second, those four did allow part of their focus to turn to the battle between Zatiel and Nihilak.
It was dangerous, but the Thearchs and Knights knew that while their battles were important, the decisive one would be between the Samsara Thearch and the Harbinger of Desolation.
Nihilak saw that cosmic ocean of dark flames that obliterated time, space, Laws, Concepts, Truth, and even Eternal Flames in its path as they marched toward him, with the sole intent of erasing his existence.
"Doomsday Force: Beyond Divine Repulsion!"
The black hole that had been compressed to the size of a grain of rice exploded once Nihilak uttered those words. All the dark gravitational force the Knight compressed in it was unleashed against the cosmic ocean of dark flames.
A Cosmic Wall would have disintegrated instantly against the dark flames, but the waves of black gravitational force not only did they stop its advance, but also began to push back!
Surprise appeared in the Samsara Thearch when he saw the Knight's Fourth Realm Omnipotent Spell was overcoming his own, but then he found the reason behind it.
Nihilak did not stop after unleashing those waves since he used his own body and soul to push them forward!
The Knight's mastery over Omnipotence and cultivation might be weaker than the Samsara Thearch's. Yet, he decided to counter that weakness by using his own body as a catalyst for his spells.
Zatiel's eyes grew cold as he saw Nihilak pushing back the cosmic ocean of dark flames, but he was not crazy enough to do the same. His body would not endure it, so he made his energy burn with even more strength, sending new arcs of dark fire to the Flame of End!
Nihilak's eyes widened as he felt the weight of the cosmic ocean of dark fire grow higher, but he did not pull back and just clenched his teeth as he pushed forward.
Cracks formed across the Knight's arms as he performed a feat even more impressive than rising an entire universe above his shoulders.
Zatiel kept sending arcs of dark fire, but the cosmic ocean that embodied the Flame of End just kept rising, moving closer and closer to him.
He understood that stopping Nihilak's advance would not be possible. A decisive light appeared in his eyes as a cold smile emerged, and the Reflection of Annihilation morphed into the Reflection of Ascension.
Nihiliak could not see Zatiel's figure due to the ocean of dark fire between them, but he perceived this one's presence.
Shock appeared on the Knight's face when he saw the Samsara Thearch appear above the ocean of dark fire, burying his sword in it and triggering its detonation.
"BOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMM!"
The explosion of the cosmic ocean of dark fire consumed the Samsara Thearch and the Harbinger of Desolation.
