nZatiel’s flaming sword moved at a speed that surpassed the concept of time itself, making it seem as if it teleported, and everything between its origin and final destination was destroyed at a subatomic level!

nThe Space-Time Samsara Incarnations had formed a defensive formation around Zatiel as they advanced deeper and deeper into the cancerous universe. They were dying at a shocking speed, but their resolution never waned, as they were ready to die from the moment they came to live.

nZatiel had shattered the Cosmic Wall less than five minutes ago but had unleashed more than a trillion attacks already, and so had the thousands of Space-Time Samsara Incarnations.

nFinally, after that godly effort and almost every single one of the incarnations perishing, the Beyonder’s nucleus appeared in Zatiel’s sight.

nThe silver flame in Zatiel’s eyes burst with even more power as he saw the Beyonder’s nucleus. That was his target, the one he needed to destroy.

nHowever, just as the killer’s intent in Zatiel’s exploded due to the closeness to the universe’s nucleus, so did the Beyonder’s survival instincts.

n“RUMBLE!”

nThe entire cancerous universe began to tremble as the Beyonder set its flesh and blood ablaze, sustaining immense harm in order to improve the strength of his onslaught.

nZatiel’s eyes widened as he saw the burst in strength from the dragon claws and leviathan’s maws and how hundreds of eldritch spears were flashing toward him.

nThe Samsara Thearch clenched his teeth as he waved his flaming sword, destroying the claws and maws and deviating the eldritch spears.

nHowever, even with Zatiel’s immense power and speed, the Beyonder’s onslaught was too strong, and he had already burned too much of his energy to face it alone.

nThe Space-Time Samsara Incarnation acted immediately, using their bodies to protect Zatiel whenever an attack surpassed his defense.

n“?BOOM!” “?BOOM!” “?BOOM!” “?BOOM!”

nExplosions echoed across the Emptiness as the incarnations always used their last breath to self-destruct, consuming pieces of the Beyonder.

nIt was the last stretch toward the Beyonder’s nucleus, but it became immensely bloody.

nZatiel hacked with his sword faster and faster, and the grip on the weapon was so strong that blood leaked from his palm, but none of that mattered.

nThe Space-Time Samsara Incarnations were just as real as him, and if they did not utter a single complaint as their bodies were broken to pieces by the claws and maws, how could Zatiel do anything but push forward!?

n?DESTROY!”

nZatiel’s White Sun Pupil burst with power as he sent a myriad of arcs in all directions, incinerating every claw, maw, and spear as he flashed forward. The nucleus was just a few seconds away, and he needed to reach it no matter what.

nThe people in the Daybreak Universe saw every move Zatiel made, and they could not help but feel pressure on on their chests. As long as Zatiel reached the core, they did know how, but something told them it would be the end.

nZatiel was so close, but at the same time, so far, and the tension among the people of the Daybreak Universe only grew stronger as they saw a new self-destruction.

n“?BOOM!”

nA Space-Time Samsara Incarnation had stopped a mutated claw from grabbing Zatiel and exploded to consume it in a blaze of fire. It was no different than the sacrifice thousands of other incarnations had done already, but this one was special since he was the last one left alive.

nZatiel was finally alone, and there was no one that could help him anymore. The pressure grew exponentially now that there were no more incarnations taking care of the attacks, but his eyes remained resolute.

nLess than five seconds after the Space-Time Samsara Incarnations were gone, Zatiel felt a sharp pain on his left arm, and his eyes widened as he realized that a deformed leviathan’s maw was biting it.

nThere was intense pain as he felt his left arm’s skin searing inside the maw, but he did not have time to lose focus as dozens of claws and spears flashed toward him.

nZatiel raised his flaming sword, ready to destroy the leviathan’s maw holding his arm, but noticed this one was special. As he waved the sword down, instead of aiming at the maw, he chose another target.

n“?BOOOOMMMM!”

nA small blast emerged inside the Beyonder as the claws and spears collided, but they had missed their target since Zatiel was no longer there. The only thing that remained was the leviathan’s maw and a mangled left arm.

nZatiel’s figure could be seen flashing forward without his left arm. His eyes were fixed on the universe’s nucleus, but he noticed that such a powerful blast did little to no damage to that leviathan’s maw.

nHad Zatiel attacked the maw, he would have failed to escape, and his body would have been drowned under the powerful barrage of claws and spears.

nAlthough Zatiel could have regrown his left arm, there was too little energy left, and he chose to carry on with his single right arm and sword.

nThe determination in the Samsara Thearch’s soul enhanced his physical and mental capabilities, allowing him to unleash a storm of countless arcs of flaming sword light that set the core of the Beyonder ablaze.

n“?AHHHH!”

nWith that roar of rage and killing intent, Zatiel blasted away the membrane of flesh and blood before him, allowing him to gaze directly into the core of the Beyonder.

nIt was a giant sphere the size of a world full of dark blue energy. That was the Beyonder’s nucleus, where his Primordial Essence resided, and the key to his destruction.

nZatiel had sacrificed his Truth, Eternal Flame, and commanded thousands of embodiments of himself to fight and die, but all that was worth it.

n“DO IT!”

nEzequiel could not help but shout the sentiment that was inside the heart of every single person watching the fight from inside the Daybreak Universe.

nVictory was within reach!

nZatiel heard those words and clenched his teeth as his energy burst one last time, and the flames on his sword exploded.

n“Final….”

nJust as Zatiel was about to pronounce the incantation for his next spell, a sense of shock assaulted him since a dark hand pierced his back and emerged through his chest!
