Abyssal Lord Of The Magi World-Chapter 986 Ending The Battle
Zatiel's bastard sword, enhanced by the Reflection of Annihilation, clashed directly with Zork's kick.
"BOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!"
One could only be described as universe-size, while the other was not even three meters tall. Yet, the destructive powers were equal, and nothing in a million light years beneath the Peak Initial Stage could have survived the explosion they generated.
The Samsara Thearch clenched his teeth as he pushed back with his sword against the immense power and weight in that kick, one that he was sure would have done tremendous damage even in a super universe like the Daybreak Universe. 𝑏𝑒𝘥𝑛𝘰𝑣𝑒𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
In the end, Zatiel could not overcome Zork's kick, and both pushed each other back, leaving him in great danger. That was because Zork immediately drove back into the fray, lunging with his entire body toward the Samsara Thearch.
"Zork, tackle!"
If a humanoid the size of a universe wanting to tackle you was not enough, what about two?
Zatiel had just prepared to face Zork's tackle when he felt a similar presence approaching from the back.
"Nork, tackle!"
Zork and Nork were working together again, each trusting the full weight of their universe-size bodies toward Zatiel, one from the front and the other from the back.
The Samsara Thearch could only counter one of the remnants at a time, and if he were to take both of them head-on, then even with his new enhanced defenses, it would leave him severely wounded.
No fear or panic could affect Zatiel's mind as he made a hand seal with his left hand.
"Samsara Eternal Lotus!"
A lotus formed around Zatiel as he shouted those words. Protective layers formed by Human Petals, Demonic Petals, Neo-Demon Petals, and Universe Savior Petals manifested around his body.
The Fourth Realm Omnipotent Spell was Zatiel's strongest defense, and it managed to endure the full power of the Guardian of the Oblivion Gate. Still, the might that Zork and Nork could unleash individually was slightly greater than Stellar Strike. Therefore, there should be no way the lotus could endure the full might of the two remnants combined.
Zatiel knew just how strong the Samsara Eternal Lotus was, which is why the next second, the flaming figure of a young man with a confident smile appeared in the front of his paragon armor.
"Reflection of Ascension."
As soon as the Samsara Thearch summoned the power of the third reflection, his cultivation gained a slight edge, allowing his spells to evolve into a higher version of themselves.
The Eternal Samsara Lotus trembled for a moment as it began to unfold, expanding into different directions as the number of petals in each layer increased by a factor of four.
"BOOOOOMMMMMMM!"
Finally, Zork and Nork clashed with the Eternal Samsara Lotus, and the power behind their tackle was so immense that the space between them collapsed into nothingness!
The Samara Thearch noticed the collapse in the fabric of reality trying to seal him, but he was too strong to fall into a singularity like that. He focused solely on enduring the combined might of the two universe-size humanoids.
"CRACK!"
Zatiel saw how the Human Petals shattered after a few seconds. Unlike in its previous version, this time, the broken pieces fused with the next layer, augmenting their defensive power.
It did not take long for the Demon Petals and Neo-Demon Petals to also shatter under the combined might of Zork and Nork, but as their fragments fused with the Universe Savior Petals, this one evolved into a majestic thing.
Universes undergoing samsara could be seen inside those petals, and their power was so immense that even the enormous pressure behind Nork and Zork's tackle could not shatter them.
Slowly the power and momentum behind the remnants' lunge began to decrease, and once Zatiel noticed an opening, his eyes burst with coldness and killing intent.
"Reflection of Annihilation!"
The flaming figure of the youth in Zatiel's paragon armor changed back to the demonic incarnation, and as soon as that happened, the Eternal Samsara Lotus changed.
All the defensive power inside the Samsara Eternal Lotus changed to pure destructive might as the petals turned black and the universes began to collapse.
An overwhelming amount of energy gathered in each of the Universe Savior Petals, all with a powerful destructive intent fused in its essence due to the influence of the Reflection of Annihilation.
The eyes of Zork and Nork widened as they felt the change in the Universe Savior Petals, but before they could move back, the Samsara Thearch buried his sword in the base of the spells, triggering its explosions.
"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMM!"
It was a simply inconceivable level of destruction as the energy inside the Universe Savior Petals burst to the outside, leaving a vacuum right where Zatiel was but destroying everything else in a radius of billions of light years.
Zork and Nork took the worst of the explosion, receiving it point-blank and leaving them with severe wounds as it pushed them in opposite directions.
A storm of darkness and destruction covered everything, hindering the view of even Middle Stage life forms.
Nork had just regained control over his body when a figure flashed toward him at an overwhelming speed, and before he could do anything, it hacked toward his wounded arm.
"?AHHHHH!"
Immense pain assaulted Nork as that attack just severed his right arm. He was a spiritual entity, so losing a piece of his body was extremely dangerous. A silver lining to his ethereal condition was the ability to reattach severed limbs as long he put them in place.
Unfortunately for Nork, before he could grab the severed arm, Zatiel opened his mouth and swallowed it whole.
"?AHHHHHH!"
Nork unleashed another shout, but this time it was not a cry of pain but a roar of absolute rage.
"Nork, kick!"
Zatiel had just swallowed the severed limb when a Nork sent a devastating kick in his direction. He knew evading those blows was impossible, but that was not a problem since he did not intend to dodge it.
Using the bastard sword as a shield, the Samsara Thearch received the kick that sent him flying away while vomiting blood.
Although Nork's kick wounded Zatiel, it also pushed his body in the direction he wanted, with immense momentum. His eyes grew sharp as he waved his wings, increasing his speed even more as he coursed through the storm of darkness and destruction until the target appeared in his sight.
Zork was pushing the waves of darkness away when his eyes widened, and before he could react, a dark sword flashed through his neck and severed his head!
After losing his head, Zork's body froze for a moment before an aura full of rage and killing intent emerged as he attempted to grab the Samsara Thearch.
Zork and Nork had humanoid forms, but they were remnants, so they did not have weak points like the head. Still, it seemed that if they could not utter the words, they failed to channel the sliver of Reality Override power into their actions, which is why Zatiel could escape this time from the giant hands that wanted to catch him.
The Samsara Thearch opened his mouth and swallowed Zork's severed head before flashing toward the rest of the remnant's body as the power on his bastard sword exploded.
Zork's physical attack failed to land on the Samsara Thearch, so he could only defend himself from the bastard sword that was cutting pieces of his body.
Every time Zatiel managed to cut a piece of Zork's body, he would swallow it, but while he attacked with ferocity, his focus was on someone else.
Nork's giant figure broke the waves of darkness and destruction, and the killing intent in his sight burst as he saw Zatiel's onslaught on Zork.
Nork raised his left arm and sent a punch as he opened his mouth.
"Nork, kil..."
Unfortunately for the universe-size humanoid, before he could finish speaking, Zatiel appeared by his side and cut down at the height of the elbow.
Another of Nork's arms was severed, making him express pain and utter rage in his eyes.
Thanks to having a moment to focus, Zork's chest began to change, with eyes and a mouth appearing on his chest. With this form, he would be able to use his full power again.
Zatiel noticed Zork's recovery and the rage in Nork. The duo was ready to push things to the next level, but that was not his case. He swallowed the severed arm before using Reflection of Ascension, improving his insight on space-time to a level high enough that he could teleport far away from the duo.
"?AHHHHHHH!"
"?AHHHHHHH!"
Zork and Nork roared in rage as they saw the Samsara Thearch disappear, but their fury did not last long since a few seconds later, they stared at each other and restarted their fight.
Zatiel noticed how the remnants restarted their eternal battle and was happy they did not follow him. Although he had the upper hand in that battle, he pushed himself to the absolute limit in order to face those two, and there was no more strength left in his body.
