Fifteen figures flashed toward a massive tower in the sky of the Daybreak Sector. Each and every single one of them had the power to swallow black holes and crush supernovas with their bare hands, yet they had solemn expressions on their faces as if they were marching to their final destiny.
Dread, anxiety, despair.
All those emotions could be expected in warriors who understood their next battle would be the last one, but not even the slightest sign of fear could be seen in their eyes.
During these three hundred years of peace, the fifteen warriors had prepared their minds and souls for the next battle, and they were all ready. They would face the Beyonder, an entity that defied the Creator's Path, and if they were not prepared to die, then there was no point in them even responding to the Samsara Thearch's summoning.
Although the Daybreak Universe had nearly a trillion light-years in radius, it took just a few minutes for the fifteen warriors to reach the tower in the sky of the Daybreak Sector.
Orgullo, the eighth Sacred Kings, Ira, Ragnar, Pan Gu, Eve, Roku, and Bahamut, appeared inside a black room and immediately bowed as they gazed upon a throne and saw Zatiel sitting on it.
The Samsara Thearch was stopping his energy and soul force from leaving his body, but the fifteen warriors were strong enough to feel his aura.
Eternal Flames and Truths dance around the Samsara Thearch's figure since they took this one as the center of creation, the core of all things.
Reality could do nothing but bend to his will!
Orgullo had grown very powerful during the last couple hundred years, and his power was not much less than Zatiel's after this one's awakening. Yet, right now, there was no doubt in the Pride Thearch's soul that even if he used all his power, just piercing the dermis of the Samsara Thearch would take everything he had.
'Is the difference between Reality Override and Omnipotence really that immense?'
Zatiel showed a friendly smile as he stared at the fifteen warriors, and it widened as he felt the resolution in their hearts and souls. They were all ready to die in his name, accepting non-existence in order to protect the Daybreak Universe.
Not wanting to waste time, Zatiel waved his hand and brought two spheres into the room.
All fifteen warriors felt awe as they saw the dark and golden wombs. They percived energies that went beyond the limit of the Omnipotent Realm.
"It is time to wake up."
Zatiel uttered those words, and the Soulbound Womb and Lawweaver Womb began to tremble before breaking in half.
Two figures emerged from the Reality Override Treasures, and their auras were so immense that they instantly flooded the room.
Orgullo was able to measure the power of the duo accurately and was shocked to feel a might that did not fell behind that of Nihiliak. There was even a trace of Late Stage's force emanating from their Primordial Essence.
Of course, the ones emerging from the Soulbound Womb and Lawweaver Womb were not other than Ezequiel and Venganza. The duo had not only reincarnated but came back even stronger than their time during the Daybreak-Beyonder War.
Ezequiel's body remained the same, but he now had sixteen Suns of Origin around his head, all of them connected by a thin stream of white flames made of Late Stage's force. His connection with the world around him was so profound that he could fuse with it if he wished, becoming a living domain of energy and power.
Venganza's appearance also remained the same, but the Samsara of Sin and Man was engraved in the center of his forehead, and the humanoid at the core of it was now made from white flames capable of generating Reality Override.
As they emerged from the wombs, a sharp light appeared in the eyes of the Revenge Thearch and Emptiness Thearch. They focused on the shattered pieces of the Soulbound Womb and Lawweaver Womb and took control of them.
They had been reborn inside those wombs, allowing their essence to be engraved in them, which was why it did not take much effort to take control of the pieces and transform them into something else.
A dark crown materialized above Ezequiel's head, taking in sixteen Suns of Origin and the Late Stage's forces. Immediately, the Emptiness Thearch's soul force grew even stronger, and his eyes glowed with a powerful dark flame that could protect him from any spirit invasion attack.
Ezequiel's body had evolved beyond the limits of the Middle Stage, and now, with the Soulbound Crown, his soul was just as strong.
Venganza did not generate armor but instead a weapon. The pieces of the womb became a golden halberd, and as soon as he grabbed it, seven colored flames emerged from it.
The Revenge Thearch's soul power and mastery of ethereal forces had always been superb. Now, with the Lawweaver Halberd, he could add Late Stage's physical might into his attacks.
Ezequiel and Venganza had become so powerful that it would have been easy to take care of Nihilak, Ravakir, and Tormetras on their own, killing the trio without a problem.
The duo did not remain next to Zatiel for long since they grouped with Orgullo and the other warriors before kneeling as well.
Zatiel accepted the demonstration of respect from the warriors of the Daybreak Universe before waving his hand and making them stand up.
"There is a time for everything, and the time of peace is over."
Venganza, Ezequiel, Orgullo, and the rest of the warriors felt immense pressure as they heard that, but soon resolution appeared in their eyes.
"How long until the Beyonder reaches the Daybreak Universe?"
The Revenge Thearch made the question in everybody's mind, and the warriors could not help but hold their breath as they waited for the answer.
Would it be months, weeks, or days before the battle?
"He is already here."
