Abyssal Lord Of The Magi World-Novel

Chapter 970  Fire King and Ice Roc

Zatiel's eyes widened as he felt the power in the runic formation. It was able to generate equilibrium between Fourth Realm forces with completely opposite natures.

The runic formation's power differed from the balance between the Law Path and Concept Path. Truths and Eternal Flames explored two different aspects of existence that could reach a balance and birth to something even more powerful.

As for the runic formation, it could take two Truths or Concepts that acted as the antithesis of each other, using the friction between those Four Realm forces as fuel to grow stronger.

The frozen side of the world represents a perfectly balanced ecosystem where all flora and fauna, regardless of rank, accept their role. There was a sense of serenity in such scenery as all things followed a determined order, surrendering to the destiny engraved in their souls from birth.

As for the blazing side, it was the complete opposite. The blazing humanoids were warmongering life forms that rejected the status quo, always striving to take more, even if they did not need it. For them, the idea of living in inertia where they would follow a predisposed path was unthinkable, and their civilization was in a state of constant change.

The Samsara Thearch's eyes began to glow as he searched in the river of time for the origin of this runic formation. Its genesis could be something as simple as an Emptiness phenomenon coming to life, but Zatiel felt a sense of order in it, making it hard to think of it as a random event.

After a minute, a trail of blood leaked from the corner of Zatiel's mouth, and his face grew pale due to the effort, but he was able to deduce the origin of the runic formation.

Zatiel's Samsara Eye showed him the corpse of a golden giant floating in the Emptiness. There was no life in it, but his aura had yet to vanish, and it was clear he was able to surpass the Initial Stage.

The giant floated in the Emptiness for eons until the waves of chaotic energy that clashed against his body finally began to take effect. His golden skin was burned away, his muscles shattered, and his bones pulverized, but there was one part that the chaotic energy could not harm.

It was a golden line, not thicker than a thread of hair, but its power was phenomenal. Suddenly it began to glow and generated pulses of golden energy that gave order to the chaotic energy around it, slowly generating a massive world.

The vision ended there, but it was enough for Zatiel to understand what had happened next.

'The runic formation must be the crystalized essence of that golden giant. The core of his power ended like this, and maybe it could revive him after a few Epochs.'

Although reincarnation through a runic formation might sound crazy, those that reached the Middle Stage were able to do all sorts of incredible things. The Samsara Thearch had fused his consciousness into each particle of his body and soul, so they could theoretically be used to revive him.

Zatiel did not waste his time trying to figure out the mission of the runic formation, if there was one, since his plans for it meant it would never happen.

Finding the treasure was just the beginning since the next part would be even more challenging, getting hold of it.

Since it was a runic formation, the Samsara Thearch could try to replicate it. That way, he would not have to endanger the Ice-Fire World.

Unfortunately, Zatiel shook his head after a few moments since that was not feasible.

'I could replicate it, but it would take me millions of years if I am lucky, and I don't have that much time. The only path left is to take it.'

A soft approach would not work, and the Samsara Thearch began to think of ways to extract the runic formation from the world without shattering this one.

It would be challenging since the runic formation was the axis of the Ice-Fire World and what kept the two opposite forces in a state of equilibrium.

Using brute force to extract the runic formation could lead to cataclysmic damage to the Ice-Fire World. Even if Zatiel did not care about the world and its inhabitants, that method would damage the runic formation, affecting the future weapon's strength.

After almost a day of mediation and discarding one plan after the other, Zatiel came up with a solution. He raised his hand, and a sphere of dark purple plasma began to form on his palm.

That sphere had the power of the Samsara Truth. Zatiel planned to fuse it into the runic formation, generating a rebirth of this one, briefly severing its connection with the Ice-Fire World.

The Samsara Thearch planned to act at that point, taking the runic formation before it reattached itself to the Ice-Fire World. That was the best path since it would not damage the treasure, and the effect on the world would be minimal, at least initially.

The only downside of the path was that it would take time, and the moment Zatiel acted over the runic formation, the two Fourth Realm life forms in the Ice-Fire World would notice it.

A sharp light appeared in the Samsara Thearch's eyes as he let the sphere of dark purple plasma fall into the runic formation.

"RUMBLE!"

Immediately, the Ice-Fire World began to tremble with so much strength that the ground began to split apart, and storms covered the sky.

The ice animals and blazing humanoids noticed the chaotic state of their world, and there was instinctive fear in their hearts, as if the world was telling them that something horrible was happening.

Sadly for them, there was nothing they could do since even the strongest of them could not locate the event's origin.

"CRAWWWW!"

"ROAR!"

It was then that a bird's cream and a bestial roar echoed across the Ice-Fire World, and two incredibly powerful pillars of energy emerged from the highest mountain range and largest castle.

Zatiel saw that blue and red pillars of energy rising into the sky with so much power that they broke the limit of the Ice-Fire World and reached into the Emptiness.

He adopted a solemn attitude when he felt that a Truth backed the power in each of them and how the Ice-Fire World began to channel its energy into the duo.

Although there was not a World Will in the Ice-Fire World, the heavenly body seemed not entirely devoid of wisdom.

The world could perceive the intent in Zatiel's actions, and how the extraction of the runic formation would affect it, so it powered both of its strongest life forms so they could go after the intruder.

Zatiel's eyes widened as he raised his arms, forming a shield with them, just as a flaming fist landed on him, sending his body flying into the sky and making a metallic taste appear in his mouth.

"¡BOOOOMMMM!"

The attacker was incredibly fast, and his punch had an overwhelming force. Just the shock wave generated cracks in space-time that extended for millions of kilometers.

Zatiel had yet to regain control when an ice claw grabbed him, covered his body with ice, and threw him even higher into the sky.

Although the ice immobilized his body for a moment, the Samsara Thearch's mind still worked, and he could see the enemies that attacked him.

One of them was a ten-meter-tall humanoid with long blazing hair and a body covered in flames. The Fourth Realm ruler of the fire side of the Ice-Fire World had eleven arms spread across his chest and back, each capable of immense strength.

The other was a thirty-meter-tall beast resembling a Roc with a body of ice. Each feather on its massive wings held an ice sun, and the cold energy they unleashed could freeze even a Middle Fourth Realm life form like the Samsara Thearch!

"CRACK!"

each shooting a beam of energy.

The beams of fire and ice energy intercrossed their paths, fusing Cracks appeared across the ice that trapped Zatiel, but before he could free himself, the Fire King and Ice Roc opened their mouths, each shooting a beam of energy.

The beams of fire and ice energy intercrossed their paths, fusing into an even more potent attack that landed point-blank on the Samsara Thearch, striking him with so much force that he was pulled out of the Ice-Fire World and into the Emptiness.

Zatiel regained control of his body once he was out of the Ice-Fire World, and a sharp light appeared in his eyes when he saw the Ice Roc and Fire King following him into the Emptiness.

The duo did not immediately flash toward the Samsara Thearch and first attempted to measure the power of this one. Somber expressions appeared on their faces as they felt the cultivation of someone at the Peak Middle Stage.

Zatiel was also surprised by the duo's power, and he could see that they were capable of intelligence and wisdom by the light in their eyes. The fight would not be easy, but he will not leave without the runic formation.
