Chapter 968 A world of ice and fire
What affected the mind of the Thearchs and Sacred Kings was that Zatiel was asking them to follow the path of Endless Darkness.
Although, unlike the Beyonder\'s Knight, they would not fall into mindless deprivation, enslaving the entire universe so his master could consume it along with all its life forms, they were still taking control over and willing to use force.
Nevertheless, while that behavior was not something that they felt comfortable with, there was no price high enough they were unwilling to pay when it came to the safety of the life forms of the Daybreak Universe.
Ezequiel and Venganza took one of the Sun Lamps, while the Sacred Kings made four teams and took the rest. The Thearchs would be able to handle anything on their own, but the Sacred King had to be more careful since if they faced a Fake Rank 10 inside their home universe, they could find themselves on the losing end.
After taking the Sun Lamps, the Thearchs and Sacred Kings nodded toward Zatiel before flashing into the distance.
The Samsara Thearch saw them leaving. He knew that they would not feel comfortable with this mission, and it would have been easier to use the Nightmare Kings to do it.
None of the Nightmare Kings would have reservations about obliterating a small portion of a super universe\'s population if it was for the safety of the Daybreak Universe. Nevertheless, it was exactly that reason why the Samsara Thearch chose the Ezequiel, Venganza, and the Sacred Kings.
Unlike the Nightmare Kings, the Thearchs and Sacred Kings would do all in their power to avoid a battle, and if the only path forward was fighting, they would make sure to keep the number of casualties to a minimum.
Zatiel was not a monster that would feel nothing at the idea of taking over foreign universes by force, but he did not have the luxury of morality when facing the Beyonder.
A sharp light appeared in Zatiel\'s eyes as he no longer allowed the domination of those universes to distract him and focused on the distance. He needed to obtain the treasures that could act as the core for the weapons of the Thearchs and Sacred Kings.
There was a treasure that would work perfectly for one of the Sacred Kings not far away. He learned its existence from the memories of one of the slayed Rank 10\'s life forms he killed in the past and knew it would not be easy.
Just like there were hurricanes in the world\'s oceans and electric storms in the Void of a universe, there were also dangerous disaster zones in the Emptiness, and even for a life form like him, it was not easy to go through them.
Zatiel petted Tao\'s head for a moment and smiled as he saw the comic reaction of the sleepy dog before sending this one back to the Daybreak Universe. There were dangers in the journey, and he could not get distracted.
The Samsara Thearch took a deep breath as he adopted his battle form before flashing forward. Obsidian bark began to extend inside his body as he moved, covering his inner organs, blood vessels, and bones.
That bark was not other than Myriad. The beast remained with Zatiel all the time this one recovered, and the radiation of the universe\'s core and his master made him evolve into a Rank 10 life form.
While Myriad could not provide a better outer defensive layer than the Samsara Thearch\'s skin, he could cover the inner organs, protecting them from any outside force and using his energy to heal any damage.
The Samsara Thearch nodded as he felt Myriad\'s actions, which would make his trip safer. He was not afraid that the dangers of the Emptiness could take his life, but getting injured was not a luxury he could allow.
The whole point of this mission to obtain the treasures and generate the weapons was to improve the war power of the Daybreak Universe. It would be pointless if he ended up injured in the process and had to enter secluded cultivation to recover while the others were fighting.
That was why the Samsara Thearch sealed the power of his white sun. Although not using it would greatly diminish his battle power, it would also make it so that no matter the danger, he would have a trump card that could save him.
After ten days of travel, Zatiel finally saw what he was looking for. Not far away from him was a massive world nearly ten times the size of one of the Daybreak Universe\'s Sacred Mountains.
Normally a world, no matter its size, could not exist in the Emptiness since the waves of chaotic energy would crush it to pieces, but this one was special.
Half the world was covered in ice so cold that it froze the air, while magma spread over the other half. Each side had forces that morphed the laws, making it easier for the elemental life forms in it.
The combination of the ice and heat energy in the center of the world generated a force field that spread across the sky, acting like a Cosmic Wall, stopping the waves of chaos from flooding in and killing everything.
Zatiel had reached a level of power that allowed him to understand the nature of life and knew that things did not happen just out of anything and without reason.
The existence of universes in the Emptiness was due to the actions of the Lord of Emptiness, which gave their lives to create homes where new life forms could exist.
There must be a reason why a world like this could exist, and the perfect balance between the duality of ice and fire that gave birth to an even stronger force was what he needed to make one of the Sacred King\'s weapons.
Using the entire world as the raw material for the weapon would be pointless and add wild energy and forces that would only make it weaker.
Zatile needed to find the origin, what made this world possible. His eyes grew sharp, and his vision crossed the layer and layers of the world, reaching the core, but he only saw a mass of energy.
It seemed that whatever force made this world happen did not reside in its core, making it much harder for the Samsara Thearch to find it.
The Samsara Thearch would have liked not to enter the world since he was sure someone would notice his presence, making everything more complicated. There might be a chance that whatever created this place had sentience, and if he detected him, it could hide.
Zatiel began to think of ways in which he could handle this, and he looked into the distance before a smile appeared on his face. There was a horde of Outlandish Beasts of the Emptiness, with some of them being at Rank 10.
Although they were weak and even the Sacred Kings could take care of them with ease, Zatiel did not need them to be powerful. He wanted to act according to their nature, like wild beasts that would attack anything and everything in their sight.
The Samsara Thearch\'s Eros Eye glowed, drawing the attention of the Outlandish Beast of the Emptiness toward him. Those beasts\' wild state of mind grew even more chaotic when the Eros Eye made the hunger in them reach a level that turned them practically crazy.
"¡AHHHH!"
Some of the Outlandish Beasts in the horde were so ferocious and hungry that they devoured the weak while they made their way toward the bigger prey.
Zatiel saw that massive horde of killer machines coming at him but showed nothing in his face since they were too insignificant to care about them. Just as the beasts were about to reach him, with some already lunging forward with their mouths open, he vanished.
The horde of Outlandish Beasts of the Emptiness grew crazy with rage as they could not find their prey, and then they saw the world of ice and fire.
Normally, even with their chaotic and wild nature, the Outlandish Beasts of the Emptiness would not march into the world due to their instincts warning them of the danger, but the Eros Eye had driven their basic desires to their limits.
"¡AHHHHHHHH!"
The entire horde marched into the world of ice and fire, with many of them burning and freezing to death as soon as they entered into contact with the force field.
However, some beasts were powerful enough to resist the destructive powers of the force field. Sadly for them, before they could cross it, a giant fist of fire and a claw of ice emerged from the world\'s surface and crushed them to pieces, killing every one of them.
While the Outlandish Beasts of the Emptiness were slaughtered, someone managed to silently infiltrate the world.
