Chapter 1006 The Knight
NO!
It actually stopped!
For trillions of light years, the flow of time freezed. Powerful life forms could freeze time inside a small part of a universe, but doing it inside the Emptiness would take the full power of a Peak Middle Stage life form like the Samsara Thearch.
Venganza, Ezequiel, the Sacred Kings, and those inside six Samsara Astra Magicae Codex\'s formations with battle power touched up the Middle Stage manage to retain their ability to think.
Everybody else failed to resist the power of the Reality Override Spell, and their soul froze in time!
Although the Daybreak Universe\'s warrior unconscious were actually the lucky ones since they did not have to see what happened next.
The Emptiness Thearch and Revenge Thearch could not believe their eyes when they saw how time began to rewind around the zone of pure destruction left by the Depravation Universe Sky and Nine x Nine Killer Universe Formation explosion.
Pieces of the vortex of darkness that the destructive power had consumed came back, along with all its life forms. Time was indeed rewinding, bringing back to life all those that perished!
A flash of despair appeared in the eyes of the Thearchs and Sacred Kings when they saw that even the auras of the Beyonder\'s Knights were returning.
It was not a lack of willpower, but how could you expect to have a fighting spirit when your enemy could simply return to life at any moment?
"Hmph!"
Just as the shock and distress in the hearts of the Daybreak Universe\'s warriors were about to reach their breaking point, a sneer emerged.
Time had frozen, and sound should not exist, yet the Samsara Thearch could not only do it, but his body also began to move.
"Snap!"
Zatiel snapped his finger, generating a white flame shock wave that allowed every Daybreak Universe warrior not only to regain their ability to think but also move.
Ezequiel and Venganza stared at the Samsara Thearch with a sense of complete admiration and awe. They were Middle Stage life forms with the power of Omnipotence, but while they could only think, Zatiel was able to break everybody free!
It was clear to the duo and everybody else that the power of the Samsara Thearch was at a whole new level. The enemy was monstrously powerful, but they had a monster of their own!
The Emptiness Thearch and Revenge Thearch looked at each other, and decisiveness appeared in their eyes as they prepared to lunge toward the regeneration vortex of darkness. Both knew the dangers of entering that space-time distortion under the influence of the Reality Override Spell, but they had to do something.
Every warrior of the Daybreak Universe had burned their soul and life force to enhance the power of the Depravation Universe Sky, and they were in no condition to fight with an unharmed Beyonder\'s army.
Ezequiel and Venganza understood that their power might not be enough to stop the spell, but they were ready to use everything they had, self-destructing if necessary!
However, just as the duo was about to march forward, Zatiel raised his hand, stopping them.
"Once a Reality Override Spell is put in motion, it is impossible to stop it. Reality itself was already rearranging to obey the command of the Beyonder, and you would need to be at the Late Stage to stop it.
I faced remnants of Late Stage life forms during my last trip, and it was impossible to stop even a kick sent using that power, much less the rewind of time itself."
Ezequiel and Venganza\'s eyes widened when they heard that, but although that knowledge should bring shock and dismay to them, the only thing that appeared was calmness since the Samsara Thearch was smiling.
Zatiel raised both hands, and his White Sun Pupil began to glow.
"Since I am not a Late Stage life form myself, using the power of Reality Override would generate a severe backlash. However, if I just manipulate the energy already flooding the world, things are different."
"RUMBLE!!!"
The Daybreak Universe\'s warriors saw how time-space around them began to shake, and reality itself was starting to distort. Soon the image of a dark purple clock with golden numbers emerged above them, its energy shining above everybody.
"BOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM!"
Burst of energy and vitality emerged from the Daybreak Universe\'s warriors as all the damage they took by burning their souls and life force began to heal.
NO!
It was not healing. It was simply vanishing since time was moving back for them as well!
Zatiel\'s eyes narrowed as he felt a powerful presence focused on him as he reverted time for his own people. The same individual took all the energy from the dark vortex and unleashed Beyonder\'s Howl.
His smile grew wider as he extended his arm, showing his chest. No matter your background, culture, or wisdom, everybody can understand that gesture.
Come and fight me!
Seeing their fearless leader\'s stance filled the Daybreak Universe\'s warriors with thrill, excitement, and fighting will. So what if the enemy could rewind time, they would just kill them. If once was not enough, they would do it twice, and if twice still fell short, they would go again for a third time, a fourth, a twentieth!
The Daybreak Universe will fight as long as it takes. As long as they had the Samsara Thearch, they would fight!
Only once the Samsara Thearch saw the reignition of the Daybreak Universe\'s warriors\' fighting spirit did he speak.
"Reality Override is not absolute. Just like Omnipotence, it needs energy. If they could use it without limit, they would have stopped the ignition of the Nine x Nine Killer Universe Formation and not waited until they were at death\'s door."
Zatiel was not just speaking without basis since he had confirmed that theory during his fight with Nork and Zork. The remnants used a Reality Override Spell that forced him into reincarnation, but when they fought again, the duo could only use a lower version of Reality Override.
The Thearchs, Sacred Kings, and Extreme Rank 9 inside the Samsara Astra Magicae Codex\'s formations began to smile when they heard that since it made perfect sense.
If they could simply use Reality Override without limit, then why wait and endure agonizing deaths, only acting when there was no chance of survival?
"The Beyonder is a monster capable of holding an entire universe in its maws, but there is no such thing as infinite. Everything had a limit, and the energy its master gave them was not an exception."
Zatiel\'s eyes grew sharp as the power of the Reflection of Ascension burst, and his soul was forced into a state of enlightenment.
It only lasted a few seconds but gave the Samsara Thearch the knowledge he wanted.
"The Knights already used it once when they teleported the entire army into the middle of our troops and killed us inside the illusion realm. Now they used an exponentially greater amount of Late Stage Force to rewind time and return all their forces to life."
Ezequiel, Venganza, The Sacred Kings, and every Extreme Rank 9 inside the Samsara Astra Magicae Codex\'s formations give all their attention to the Samsara Thearch\'s words. They would self-destruct if needed, but they had now learned how to use their life in the most effective way.
"We must not grow confident, but if my hypothesis is correct, there is only enough power left for a minor Reality Override Spell, most likely capable of teleporting the entire army or healing their wounds."
"HMPH!"
Zatiel had just finished speaking when a sneer emerged from inside the vortex of darkness.
"How humorous. You trying to determine the power of the One Above All is like a bacteria inside my stomach trying to describe my nature."
It was an ancient voice full of power and will. There was killing intent and disdain in it.
That individual was not a mindless drone, and despite being under the command of the Beyonder, he was able to reason and sentience.
Slowly the Knight began to emerge from the vortex of darkness, and his body was the definition of majestic. A mixture of dark feathers and scales protected his ten-meter tall body. Two large wings on his back seemed capable of covering a universe in their shadows.
It had three eyes, all red, with the one in the center resembling an energy core. Crimson halos glowed on his back containing black holes!
"Insignificant ants, if you had understood your purpose and accepted the assimilation into our Lord, everything would be over. Now, I will make sure you know the meaning of the word pain."
"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!"
A corrupted burst of dark energy emerged from the Knight, twisting space-time into a nightmarish and mutated version of itself.
Ezequiel and Venganza stared at the Knight, and they could not help but clench their fists since the power of this one was horrible.
