Abyssal Lord Of The Magi World-Novel

Chapter 967  Preparations for war

Zatiel's eyes grew sharp as silver flames emerged in them. For the first time in a very long time, he had to rely on his willpower to get his emotions under control.

The drive to reach the Late Stage was a very powerful force in the Samsara Thearch's mind and soul, not just because he wanted the power to protect the Daybreak Universe from the incoming threat but also to satiate his thirst.

There was not a thirst for power since the raw strength he could unleash was already so high there was little he could not do. What he wanted to satiate was his curiosity, the desire in his soul to learn more above the Emptiness and the mysteries in it, to reach the true origin of all things.

Zatiel's eyes grew sharp after a few moments as he focused again on the sealed Rank 10 Hive. Twisting its mind and making it a weapon for the Daybreak Universe was not possible, but he would not just allow it to go to waste.

The cultivation of Ezequiel, Venganza, and the Sacred Kings reached a point where they needed more than just energy to advance, so giving them the Rank 10 Hive for consumption would be useless.

Luckily for the Samsara Thearch, there was someone among the ranks of the Daybreak Universe that could benefit immensely from this Rank 10 Hive.

The problem with that individual was that it was not very reliable. It was not a problem of trust since the Samsara Thearch knew this one had an extremely loyal nature.

Zatiel could not rely on this one for war since, despite being an extremely powerful life form, he had zero battle awareness. Ultimately, it was the best card, so he waved his hand and brought this one to the Emptiness.

The Thearchs and Sacred Kings saw a fluffy dog appear in the Emptiness next to them, and awkward expressions appeared on their faces when they saw this one licking himself.

Although they felt like they were making a fool of themselves, there was nothing that Heinz, Dante, and the other Sacred Kings had to clasp their hands and bow.

"The Sacred Kings welcome the Heavenly Guardian Beasts of the Neo-Demon Race."

Ezequiel and Venganza smiled as they were happier than ever that they did not have to bow to a licking himself, thanks to their rank as Thearchs.

Tao's ears wiggled as he heard the Sacred Kings, but he just continued with what he was doing. His behavior was what one would expect from a mortal dog.

Zatiel's eyes twitched as he saw his Daybreak Universe's mighty Heavenly Guardian Beast ignoring the Sacred Kings. It seemed the dog had not even realized that he had been teleported into the Emptiness.

"Tao!"

When the dog heard that word, his entire body trembled, and he Zatiel grabbed Tao before this one could reach his face since he could not simply allow the dog to lick him after he had just done began to move his tail from one side to the other before looking at the origin with eyes full of excitement.

Tao did not hesitate for even a second before launching himself toward Zatiel with a large smile, ready to lick the face of this one.

Zatiel grabbed Tao before this one could reach his face since he could not simply allow the dog to lick him after he had just done that. He was the mighty Samsara Thearch, ruler of the Daybreak Universe, and holder of Omnipotence, so he had to keep his dignity.

However, when Tao saw that Zatiel would not let him lick his face, a sad expression appeared, and his tail went down. The look on the dog's face was like a child asking his father if he had done something wrong.

The Samsara Thearch could not help but sight as he saw the way in which Tao was looking at him. In the end, he just resigned and allowed the dog to lick him.

It was a truly embarrassing situation, but luckily there was no one present other than the Thearchs and Sacred Kings.

After resolving that comical situation, Zatiel put Tao down and pointed toward the sphere containing the sealed Rank 10 Hive.

Tao had a divine ability in which he could consume matter, energy, and spirit and generate drones from it. That ability had grown immensely over the millennia, with this one already able to give birth to Extreme Rank 9 life forms.

Since Zatiel could not control the Rank 10 Hive, he would allow Tao to devour it and use it to give birth to a force with a similar power that would work for them.

Although the drones that Tao would give birth to will lack the hive mind and unity, they would have immense brute power. That was enough for Zatiel since he could implant a small piece of his soul in each of them and make them work as a single entity.

Tao showed no hesitation before opening his mouth, generating what seemed to be a black hole in its mouth and slowly devouring the universe-size Rank 10 Hive. If it had put up some resistance, he would not have been able to devour the entirety of the hive, but all those life forms still had their minds and souls sealed by the spell of the Samsara Thearch.

After consuming the entire Rank 10 Hive, Tao's stomach enlarged until it seemed it was about to explode, but it soon returned to normal. The dog showed a sleepy expression, and the next second, it jumped toward Zatile's arms and fell asleep.

The Samsara Thearch's eyes narrowed as he focused on Tao's stomach. When he saw how a storm of chaos disintegrated the entirety of the Rank 10 Hive with the True Rank 10 and Fake Rank 10, he smiled and nodded.

Everything was in order, and it would not be long before Tao generated drones with that energy.

Now that the army of soulless killing machines which could act as foot soldiers in their fight against the army that the Beyonder's Knights would bring was in process, it was time to arm the generals.

The Samsara Thearch's eyes focused on Ezequiel, Venganza, and the Sacred Kings, figuring out their battle style and technique. He did not end there since his perception spread across the Daybreak Universe, analyzing warriors like Roku and the other top powerhouses.

It did not take him too long to figure out what kind of weapons would perfectly fuse with their battle style, allowing them to express an even greater battle power.

your battle power to the next level."

"There are treasures spread across the Emptiness that I can use as the core component for Fourth Real Artifacts capable of pushing your battle power to the next level."

The Thearchs and Sacred Kings immediately adopted solemn attitudes since any weapon that could improve their energy output and allow them to use their abilities better would be amazing. They were ready to accept the coordinates from Zatiel and go after the treasures, but that was not how things would go on.

"I will be the one that will go for the treasures. They are located in extremely dangerous areas of the Emptiness, and many had Fourth Realm's guardians. Although you might be able to retrieve them, it would be faster if I did it on my own. I have another mission for the eleven of you."

Zatiel waved his hand, sending information streams into the Thearchs and Sacred Kings. They saw a map of the Emptiness with six golden dots.

He then generated six miniature lamps containing each a golden sun.

"Those are super universes in states of conflict. You will go there, stop the wars, and bring order to the chaos.

The lamps will allow you to express the power of my Eternal Flame of Justice to the Universe Wills and also has the ability to paralyze these if needed.

Make the natives understand we are the future. If the strongest accept our presence, you might be able to convince those Universe Wills to accept us in its domain.

The goal is simple: establish a stronghold in each of those universes that can be used to keep our people in case the battle against the Beyonder's Knight threatens the safety of the Daybreak Universe."

Zatiel remembered the danger that the Prima Universe faced during the events that led to the Ultimate Multiversal War and how, more than once, the enemy managed to infiltrate and put everybody in imminent danger.

That was why he was going to establish safe havens in different universes across the Emptiness that could be used to hold the entire population of the Daybreak Universe.

"What if they refused to accept our presence?"

Venganza asked that question, and a cold light appeared in his eyes. He knew the answer but needed Zatiel to say it.

The Samsara Thearch stared at Venganza before looking at the others. There was no emotion in his eyes as he explained what they needed to do.

"If they refuse, then it is simple. Kill the strong and brainwash the weak. Regarding the safety of the Daybreak Universe's life forms, there is no price I am not willing to pay. Even my morality and sense of justice is meaningless when weighed against my family's life."
