Nihilak's eyes widened as the dark box was shattered to pieces, generating a shock wave that sent his body flying away. He managed to regain control over his body extremely fast and immediately turned around.
Absolute shock and awe appeared on the Harbinger of Desolation's face as he saw the Samsara Thearch standing among the broken pieces of the Reality Override Spell.
"THUMP!"
Fear, absolute and overwhelming fear, invaded Nihilak's heart, making this one beat faster and paralyzing his body.
Zatiel's face was peaceful as he stared at the Knight, but soon, his eyes began to wander across the Emptiness. Now, for the first time in his life, he understood the true nature of the multiverse!
"So this is the world we live in."
The Samsara Thearch's words echoed across the Emptiness, reaching the ears of everybody on the battlefield and expanding for countless light years.
Confusion and doubt filled the hearts of everybody who stared at Zatiel. Even the Sacred Kings felt that something had changed in him. It was as if Universal Samsara Reincarnation had pushed his mind and ego through a transcendental experience.
Zatiel's eyes suddenly landed on the billions of low-level warriors from the Beyonder Army, and a flash of killing intent emerged from his heart.
The Eternal Truth Black Hole Heart trembled for a second just before a red shock wave emerged, expanding across the battlefield and covering hundreds of millions of light years.
Nothing happened at first, as if the red shock wave had no effect, but things did not take long to change.
"¡Ahhhhh!"
A scream of agony jolted everybody, and it was the first of many, as every life form belonging to the Beyonder Army with cultivation beneath the Fourth Realm began to disintegrate.
There was nothing they could do or say as they saw their bodies crumble into dust. In five seconds, every single member of the Beyonder Army other than the Knights was gone!
It only took a flash of Zatiel's killing intent for billions to perish. That was the power to defy causality and break the cosmic laws and rules.
That was the power to override reality!
"Im...Impossible!"
Nihilak trembled as he shouted. The Harbinger of Desolation could not accept the change in Zatiel.
Even if the fusion of the Samsara Thearch with Venganza was flawless and underwent a reincarnation using the ultimate power of the Lords of Emptiness, he should not have reached that level.
The reaction of other Knights was just as terrifying as that of their leader. Despair overflowed their eyes after seeing how Zatiel triggered the death of their entire army with a single thought.
Suddenly, the six Knights that had been fighting against Ivar fused back into their original form of a twisted demonic box with strange faces. Abysscry made his energy explode as he attempted to open a portal out of this place. The fear and desire to live were so immense that the Knight did not even have time to think, and the only thing on his mind was to run away.
"Hmph!"
Zatiel sneered, and the portal Abysscry opened by burning his soul force shut down before dark purple chains pierced the Knight's body.
As the Sacred Kings and Knights saw Abysscry's pitiful state, there was no longer any doubt in their minds.
The Samsara Thearch had evolved beyond the realm of Omnipotence and was now capable of rewriting reality!
"How?"
Nihilak could not help but ask that question as hopelessness invaded his heart. The power to reshape reality, he had searched for it for countless eons, but even after his body and soul were reforged using the corpse of a Late Stage life form, he did not come anywhere close to it.
Zatiel stared at Nihilak before shaking his head.
"Someone like you could never evolve into this realm."
Nihilak trembled as he heard that and could not help but puke blood as those words shook the core of his soul. As he saw the blood coming from his mouth, his heart beat faster and faster, and soon, a crazy light emerged in his eyes.
"WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE!?"
A blind rage pushed Nihilak's fear away as his energy exploded, and his right arm began to bulge, growing deformed due to the mutated muscle mass.
"¡AHHHHH!"
The Harbinger of Desolation flashed toward Zatiel and used every ounce of energy and strength in his body as he hacked with the ax.
"BOOOOOMMMMMM!"
An explosion of black gravitational force emerged from the collision, and its power was so immense that it could cover millions of lightyears, putting in danger the life of the Extreme Rank 9 warriors on the battlefield.
Just as the Extreme Rank 9 life forms inside the Samsara Astra Magicae Codex's formations braced for the impact, an all-mighty power acted over the black gravitational force, transforming it into nothing more than a gust of wind.
Pure admiration and devotion appeared on the warriors of the Daybreak Universe as they turned to the blast's origin and saw Nihilak's ax in Zatiel's head.
There was a small trail of blood leaking from Zatiel's head. The full-power attack of the strongest Knight in the Beyonder Army had left a half-centimeter cut on his head.
Nihilak's eyes were full of disbelief. He had put all his power into that attack, using Omnipotence on its mighty form, yet he only achieved a small cut.
Zatiel's eyes showed no rage, no hate. There was nothing but a peaceful sense of aloofness as he placed his right palm on Nihilak's chest.
"Die."
A flash of dark purple light appeared so fast that the Sacred Kings and Knight were barely able to perceive it, and the next thing they saw was Nihilak's body hurtling away with a hole in his chest.
The light faded from Nihilak's eyes along with his soul force and any sign of life.
Zatiel was able to kill the strongest Knight of the Beyonder Army with a single touch in a fraction of a nanosecond!
However, just as everything seemed over and the war had finally reached its end, Nihilak's body trembled, and suddenly, a broken smile appeared on his face.
