"THUMP!"
Aion had just finished his glorious speech when a powerful thunder broke the sky of the Daybreak Sector. The laceration on the heavens shocked everybody, even the Thearchs, since no one was able to perceive it until it occurred.
Waves upon waves of origin energy descended from the portal, flooding the air in every corner of the universe with forces powerful enough to attain a liquid state. They were so dense and pure that children who breathed them would have their souls and bodies tempered.
The Nine Sacred Mountains began to tremble while the sky glowed with golden light. Plants, trees, and all non-sentient life forms in the world started to shiver as if they were feeling excited.
Just as the Thearchs and Sacred Kings wondered what was happening, a man began to walk out of the portal. His aura was so powerful that it flooded the entire universe, and everybody could feel the intent on his soul.
A sense of absolute peace and harmony filled the mind and heart of every life form that felt that power. It was as if they were in the presence of the origin of all things, the beginning of creation itself.
It had a familiar sense as if they had been under its care for their entire life, guiding them to glory and happiness from the moment of their birth.
Neo-Demons across the Daybreak Universe, even those in the Nightmare Inferno Realm, felt the Chaotic Core inside their hearts tremble as they were in the presence of the first and only Primordialis-Core, the first of their kind.
All of the Neo-Demon in the universe, from the mighty Emptiness Thearch to the small children, kneeled as a sense of serenity and love flooded their souls. As long as that person existed, their race would thrive.
The reaction of the members of the Eldar Race was similar to those of the Neo-Demon Race. Eldars were born of the energy and forces of the universe, and they recognized that aura as the origin of the Daybreak Universe.
The same love a child would have for their father filled the hearts of every member of the Eldar Race. They had never seen that person before, but they knew he had been looking after them since their birth, ensuring they followed the path of honor and justice, rising to glory and power.
"¡AHHHH!"
"ROAR!"
"THUUUU!"
Eldars across the Daybreak Universe began to roar into the sky. That was their way of expressing the emotions that flooded their minds and souls as they basked in the light of their race's origin.
Depravitas across the Daybreak Universe also felt their souls reacting to that person. Unlike Neo-Demons and Eldars, there was not a sense of blind devotion and love for that man since their race saw the Revenge Thearch as their spiritual leader.
Nevertheless, not a single Depravita dared to show even the slightest disrespect since it was in that man's mind that their race was born.
Venganza, Codicia, and Orgullo looked to the man descending from the heavens and made their energy explode, generating three giant pillars of Depravita Aura that every member of their race could feel.
The billions of Depravitas across the Daybreak Universe followed the lead of their Thearch and Sacred Kings, making their energy explode.
Those blasts of Depravita Aura made the Daybreak Universe tremble but did not last long since the next second, the Revenge Thearch clasped his hands and performed a deep bow, followed by the Depravita Sacred King and the Sacred King of Unbreakable Spirit.
While their leaders bowed, the rest of the Depravitas in the Daybreak Universe bent a knee, similar to a warrior welcoming the arrival of their monarch.
Although their hearts did not have a sense of divine devotion, all Depravitas in the Daybreak Universe saw that man as the greatest hero that gave them a home, and they respected him with every fiber of their souls.
After a few minutes, the Thearchs and Sacred Kings rose their heads, focusing their eyes on the sky.
Zatiel finally emerged from the portal, but unlike his awe-inspiring aura, his physical appearance could not be more normal. He was still extremely handsome, with some changes like white hair and a height of two and thirty centimeters.
Yet, there were no demonic wings on his back and unique powers emerging from his eyes. His right and left eyes had white pupils, but there were no signs of the Thanatos Eye or Eros Eye, and there was not even a third vertical eye on his forehead.
Other than the majestic and universe-shaking aura, there was nothing impressive in the Neo-Demon, nor his energy pool, physical strength, or soul force.
Nevertheless, that only made the shock and awe in the Thearchs and Sacred Kings grow even more potent. Zatiel's cultivation had reached such a profound level that none could feel anything from him.
Not even the Emptiness Thearch or Revenge Thearch could measure the strength of the Samsara Thearch, making it clear that while they were in the same realm, the difference in their power was still immense.
Zatiel was not alone since there was a beautiful woman with blue hair and a lovely smile by his side. All the Sacred Kings and Thearchs immediately recognized Sophia.
None of them was surprised by her presence after all; the reason why Zatiel was forced to dozens of thousands of years of slumber was to bring her back to life. However, they were stunned to see a tiny baby in her embrace, a little girl.
The little girl had blue hair like her mother and powerful dark purple runes surrounded her eyes. A third eye was on her forehead, but this had yet to open.
What surprised the Thearchs and Sacred Kings was that despite being born less than a year ago, the little girl was already a Rank 7 life form, and her soul force and vitality matched a Rank 9!
Zatiel smiled as he saw his family and friend with his real eyes for the first time in a very long time, but there was a reason why he showed up at this moment.
He turned toward Aion, kneeling like all other Neo-Demon, and waved his hand, making this one stand up.
"Reincarnator from a distant universe, I praise your talent and fighting spirit. Your victory brings joy to the Daybreak Universe, and your willpower brings admiration to my heart."
Aion could not help but feel his soul trembling as he heard those words. No matter how ancient his mind was or what he faced throughout his life, the Chaotic Core inside his heart could not stop trembling from excitement as he heard the words of the Samsara Thearch.
"You will become the leader of a new force born to spread our ideology across the Emptiness. You will bring peace to chaos, protecting the innocent, freeing them from the shackles of terror and darkness."
The Samsara Thearch's aura was full of life and love as he spoke those words, but it grew cold and ruthless the next second.
"As for those that defy our sense of unity and refuse to follow our rules, you will set them ablaze and build a new home over their ashes."
Zatiel's voice echoed across the entire Daybreak Universe and those that heard it smiled. For the Neo Demons, Depravitas, and Eldars, the Concept of Justice reigned superior to all.
Justice meant that every life form had the right to follow their dream without fear and to rise in a perfect meritocracy, but that was just one face.
The other side of justice was the total obliteration of anything that defied that freedom and peace.
Those that defy the Samsara Thearch's Justice are burned to ashes and used to fertilize the home of those that respect it!
Aion could feel the responsibility of the task that was being assigned to him. The honor he felt by becoming the Samsara Champion could not compare with that of becoming the weapon of the Samsara Thearch.
The silver flames in his eyes burst with immense power as he kneeled.
"It will be my honor to spread your dogma across the Emptiness."
Zatiels showed a radiant smile as he heard Aion's words and felt the sense of commitment in the soul of this one.
"The rise, Aion, the First Knight of the Daybreak Universal Empire."
Aion stood up, and the next second a rune with the form of the number 1 appeared on the back of his hand.
"There are many things we need to discuss. For the moment, spend time with your family and enjoy this victory, as you have earned that right."
Zatiel nodded toward Aion before looking around the coliseum, smiling at all the new and old faces he saw. There was a sense of accomplishment in his heart that was hard to describe when he saw the type of people that thrived in his utopia.
"Daybreak Universe, I am back. Celebrate with your families and friends as our home will embark on a new path of glory and blood."
