Abyssal Lord Of The Magi World

Space began to crack, and soon the illusion vanished, showing the Flame Imperator's hand piercing Zatiel's skull and sending a force that sought to morph this one's ego.

If the True Will were the one containing Zatiel's will, it would have been much easier for the Flame Imperator, but the one holding the ego's core was the True Name.

That was a quality only Zatiel Daybreak possessed, granted by Rex Depravita Samsara Universalis Causalitax. That is why it did not matter if his True Will, True Soul, or True Doomsday Body left him and formed Samsara Incarnations.

"I know that you will not surrender until the end, but I tell you, it is futile. I have isolated every fragment of your existence, and there is nothing you can do to stop me. It is only a matter of time before I leave your ego as a blank slate. That will mean that the moment I fuse with you, I will have 100% certainty of becoming the winner in our battle of wills."

As the Flame Imperator pronounced those words and saw the rage and hatred in Zatiel's agonizing gaze, a flash of depravity appeared in his gaze.

It was something that the Alpha Universe Leader had never shown during his interactions with the Prima Universe, not even when Venganza ruined his plans during the rise of the Alpha-Prima Universe.

"I tell you all this because there is no way you can change anything."

Zatiel's rage only grew stronger as he saw that sight, and he was furious with himself for not realizing things sooner. The instant he felt a monstrous danger at the beginning of everything must have been when the Flame Imperator pushed his mind into the illusion.

"You should not feel so bad. A Truth is a power that even De-Facto Rank 10 can barely use. Back then, when I used my Quietus Truth, I was a child wielding a large hammer. Now that I am a True Rank 10 life form, I can use that hammer like the most proficient blacksmith, showing an incredible might outside the battlefield.

I froze your instincts and your perception of danger. Even your doubts and worries were affected by the Quietus Truth."

The Flame Imperator made a slight pause at that point, and as he felt the force coming closer and closer to twisting Zatiel's ego, his smile widened, and he carried on.

"If it makes you feel better, you actually forced me to use something that Depravita did not."

Zatiel's eyes widened as, despite the agony, shock assaulted his soul. He saw a dark flame appear in the Flame Imperator's eyes.

It was similar to the power generated by his Concept Sun and equal to the one used by Sundered Night.

The Flame Imperator not only dominated the Quietus Truth but also trained the Concept Path and seemed to have developed an Eternal Flame!

The aura that the Eternal Flame generated was not equal to the Quietus Truth, meaning that the Flame Imperator had not truly entered the Fourth Realm in the Concept Path. Still, he definitely took one step into that realm!

Although it came as a shock for Zatiel, it made sense. The Incarnation of Death and Destruction knew the importance of willpower and how to master Concepts. Since Zatiel could master the Concept of Justice to the Third Realm's pinnacle, why would the Flame Imperator not do it as well?

Unlike Zatiel's Concept of Justice, which punished evil and rewarded virtue, the Flame Imperator's Concept was a force that twisted good and bad.

Under the power of that Eternal Flame, good and evil were meaningless, as the idea of them in the mind of all sentient life forms could change. Performing a genocide could be considered kindness and empathy as an act of utter cruelty.

The Flame Imperator saw the flash of enlightenment in Zatiel's eyes, and the evilness in his smile only grew stronger.

"Hahaha, despite all the pain, your mind keeps being so sharp. That is right; the Concept I use to form my Eternal Flame is no other than the Concept of Deception. I use it every day to deceive myself, showing everyone a kind ruler who only wants the best for his people.

You can not imagine how tiresome it is. I must say I appreciate moments like this, as they are the only ones where I can show myself."

The Flame Imperator's soul aura began to change as he uttered those words. Before, it was a perfect copy of Zatiel's, but now a sense of utter darkness and evilness could be found in it.

Zatiel's eyes widened as he felt that evil soul aura since it was identical to the one from the Soul Core of Existence in Nexus.

"Anyway, this is your end. There is no need to feel sad as everyone you know will join you once they become part of me."

Zatiel's wrath only increased once he heard that, but the Quietus Truth stopped him from doing anything. His body, energy, soul force, and Omega Law could do nothing against that power, but there was one that could have a chance.

Thanks to its evolution, the Sun of Justice might act once before the Quietus Truth completely shut it down. Zatiel would have less than a second, but it was enough.

The Flame Imperator's smile froze as Zatiel's True Will opened its eyes and burst with power. The Quietus Truth still sealed everything else, but the Sun of Justice was free to act for an instant.

"FUCK... YOU!" Zatiel uttered those words as the Sun of Justice went supernova!

All the power in the Concept Sun, which could burn for billions of years and whose sunlight could incinerate Rank 8 life forms, was released instantly.

The Flame Imperator's body trembled, and he puked a mouthful of blood. His seal over Zatiel's existence broke for a second, and he immediately attempted to reinstate it, but it was too late.

Zatiel took the change of his temporary freedom to send all the Prima Chaos in his Inner Universe into his Omega Law, triggering the evolution of this one and his advance into the Eternal Detachment Rank.
