The strikes of the three Thearchs made the Cosmic Wall tremble, and the picture of the Emptiness began to change. What they and everybody else had seen before had been nothing more than an illusion.
Ivar and En made their energy explode, focusing all their power on their eyes as their gaze pierced into the distance. It took a moment, but the duo saw the bursting dark purple energy above the cancerous universe that was the Beyonder!
"Zatiel is fighting the Beyonder alone right now!"
The World Tree could not help but utter those words out loud, filling everybody with shock and dread.
Focus and determination immediately appeared in the Sacred Kings and Daybreak Champions as they made their energy burst, ready to assist the Thearchs in breaking through the Cosmic Wall in order to reach Zatiel's side.
All of them understood why Zatiel was taking that path, but it did not matter. Every single one of them would rather die by the side of the Samsara Thearch than live with the shame of staying behind.
The Sacred Kings and Daybreak Champions were ready to forcefully break into the Fourth Realm to enhance their strength since that was the only way their power would become high enough to be of help to the Thearchs.
By this point, all of them understood that Zatiel told them to wait before evolving to the Fourth Realm because he never intended for them to actually fight, but that did not matter.
Zatiel's energy incarnation smiled as he saw that, but he could not allow them to do it. He waved his hand, and the entire Daybreak Universe began to tremble before following the command given by its creator.
Invisible chains pierced the body of the Sacred Kings, Daybreak Champions, and even the Thearchs, sealing their energy and soul force.
Ezequiel, Venganza, and Orgullo attempted to fight back, but the Daybreak Universe could be considered a Late Stage life form, and they were not strong enough to overcome its sealing while inside this one.
"¡AHHHHH!"
Ezequiel shouted as he kept striking against the Cosmic Wall, but with the Daybreak Universe's seal, his punches did not have the power to make even a dent in the Cosmic Wall.
Venganza and Orgullo stopped striking the Cosmic Wall since they understood it was now futile and could only sigh as they saw the madness in the Emptiness Thearch's eyes as he refused to give up.
Ezequiel also understood the futility of his task, but he could not stop since every cell of his body urged him to stand next to the man who raised him from a common grave and help him stand at the peak of the universe.
"Little EZ, it is fine."
Those words made Ezequiel tremble, and he could not help but cry as he felt a hand over his shoulder. He turned to the side, only to see Zatiel's peaceful smile.
"I can not fail you."
Ezequiel's voice was broken as even his overwhelming willpower, capable of drowning an entire universe, was not strong enough to put his emotions under control.
Zatiel just kept smiling as he softly shook his head.
"Ezequiel, I have told you this many times. You can never fail me. You, my friend, are my greatest discovery, and I love you like a brother."
Only after hearing those words did Ezequiel finally lower his fists. He cleaned the tears from his eyes and stood straight, no longer allowing his emotions to cloud his mind.
Zatiel nodded before glancing at Orgullo and Venganza.
"Please, you three, go with the others. I want all of you to be together at this moment."
Ezequiel, Orgullo, and Venganza nodded and flew down, standing alongside every meaningful person for the Samsara Thearch.
Billion of light years away, above the cancerous universe that was the Beyonder, Zatiel's true body smiled as he shared the vision of his energy incarnation.
'The ones I need to protect.'
"Samsara Thearch!"
That scream full of hatred came from the Beyonder's physical incarnation as he stared at Zatiel. There was nothing but rage in the Beyonder's soul as he found out that the Samsara Thearch never intended to sacrifice the greatest warriors of the Daybreak Universe in their last fight.
One would think that the Beyonder would be happy fighting fewer enemies, but the truth was that Zatiel's actions were completely outside of the Creator's Path, managing to trick him!
In a fight between Reality Override Paragons capable of seeing the true nature of reality, being able to outsmart the other was already half of the fight.
Zatiel's smile only grew wider as he felt the rage in the Beyonder's empty eyes.
"It is time to face your end!"
Zatiel's energy burst with even greater power as he uttered those words, and then he clasped his hands as the power of the Eternal Truth Black Hole Heart filled the Emptiness.
"Final Samsara Spell: Override of Space and Time!"
The energy that flooded the Emptiness began to mutate as space-time began to twist upon itself, and in an instant, thousands of individuals began to appear.
Some were identical to the Samsara Thearch's appearance, except for his third eye, while others resembled variations of normal youths, old men, or great demonic beings.
The Beyonder's physical incarnation's eyes widened as he saw those individuals. They were not simply incarnations but embodiments of the Samsara Thearch that had been taken from the timeline!
Their life force was fledging, and it seemed they would collapse with a single strike, but none of them had a power beneath the Fourth Realm!
Such an army could dominate the entire Daybreak Verse, but their sole purpose was to take the life of the cancerous universe before them.
Zatiel showed a cold smile as killing intent emerged from his eyes, and he focused on the Beyonder's physical incarnation. His power was bursting as every source of energy inside him was exploding, allowing him to reach a state of might that could sunder super-universes in a fraction of a second.
