Chapter 555 - Samsara
After a few seconds, Myriad woke up from that dream, although he felt hundreds of lifetimes had passed. The reason for his awakening was that the power of the True Name began to condense behind it.
Slowly, streams of crystallized dark purple lightning-fire prime force emerged from the True Name and began to form a wheel.
Myriad felt he could find the destinies of the Prima Universe and Eldrich Universe in the wheel.
Horrible monsters, angelic beings, colossal humanoids, draconic creatures, and many more pictures could be seen in this wheel as it fully formed.
The True Name glowed with a power that blinded Myriad as the wheel started to draw the atoms left by Zatiel's body and soul.
Once it collected every piece of the Neo-Demon's existence, four streams appeared inside it. They were golden, blue, black, and red.
Myriad did not understand what was happening, but the wheel began to rotate. It was incredibly slow, and every second, the streams made of Zatiel's soul and body were purified and grew smaller.
The concept of samsara reincarnation was nothing but a dream in the Prima Universe. It represented a new beginning after one experienced a definitive end. Still, the laws of the universe did not allow it since you would cease to exist once the Eternal River of the Afterlife finished with you.
The best powerhouses could hope to achieve would be to experience rebirth, restarting their life fire and soul force so that they could begin again.
Zatiel Daybreak had experienced death multiple times before, with the first being due to old age in his homeworld and the second due to the wounds he received during his final battle in Nexus.
He never truly perished as the core of his soul and ego did not experience an end, so while he came back to life, those could only be considered rebirth and were far from a true reincarnation.
However, all of that changed the moment the wheel created by REX SAMSARA UNIVERSALIS CAUSALITAX performed a full rotation of the four streams obtained from Zatiel's remains.
The streams vanished, signaling the end of Zatiel Daybreak's existence, but it gave birth to a dark purple cell in the center of the wheel.
Once the cell materialized, the True Name glowed again, unleashing a wave of dark purple lightning-fire prime force that generated a membrane around it.
Myriad did not dare to send his consciousness inside the purple sphere as he feared it could harm the Neo-Demon, so he pushed his eyesight to the peak to see inside it.
Under the influence of the True Name, the dark purple cell split in two, and the new cells performed the same process. This duplication carried on repeatedly as more and more cells appeared, and soon they began to differentiate and achieve specific functions.
The purple membrane began to devour the Origin Power, life force, soul force, and refined Elemental Chaos around it, and after a few minutes, it happened.
"Thump!"
A heartbeat originated from inside the purple membrane, and although it was merely a sound, it meant something much more important.
Zatiel Daybreak, after his body and soul reached their end, was alive again. He was the first life form in the Prima Universe to have ever experienced samsara reincarnation!
Myriad could not contain the bliss and excitement that filled his soul when he heard that heartbeat and saw the fetus inside the purple membrane.
He did not have time to lose, as the healing forces filling the metallic cocoon were decreasing at an accelerated rate due to the insatiable hunger of the fetus.
Of course, that did not sour his mood, as in Myriad's mind, if Zatiel wanted to eat, it meant he was healthy, which filled his eyes with happiness.
He generated a secondary metallic cocoon around the purple membrane for more protection before flying at full speed toward the nearest source of life.
...
In the Cosmic Wall's passage, the monster bathed in white flames saw everything that happened with the Neo-Demon, from the moment that dark purple lightning-fire prime force appeared until the first execution of samsara reincarnation.
The surprise changed to confusion, then came a combination of delight and killing intent, until a thoughtful light appeared in those red eyes.
Issac, along with the Dragon Primarch and Titan Primarch, limited themselves to watching the monster. None of them believed they could take the creature by surprise, and since there was no hostility in him anymore, they decided to wait and see.
After a few minutes, a flash of enlightenment appeared in the creature's red eyes, and then Issac and the other two heard something that shocked them.
"¡HAHAHAHAHAHA!"
The monster bathed in white flames that managed to open a passage in the Cosmic Wall with his bare hands, who seemed to embody the end of the Prima Universe, began to laugh.
However, the trio did not have time to relax, as the monster stopped laughing after a few seconds and then focused on them.
He first stared at the Dragon Primarch and Titan Primarch, and the duo felt that those red eyes witnessed all their experiences, from their birth until this moment.
"Hphm! You two believe that being born with a Law Bloodline and the protection and care of a race that stands at the peak of the universe was an amazing lucky chance, but you don't understand that is the exact reason why you can not leave Rank 9." The monster spoke with a voice that carried an ancientness that made even the trio who had lived for billions of years feel like they were children.
When the Dragon Primarch and Titan Primarch heard those words, they were baffled. The monster that almost killed them a few minutes ago was now guiding their cultivation.
Although they did not know what he referred to and could not be sure he was telling the truth, if there was anyone who had the right to speak about surpassing Rank 9 was this creature.
Unfortunately for the duo, the monster no longer looked at them and focused on Issac before giving a soft nod.
"Of all the Law Overlords in this super universe, you Magus are the one with the best chance to go beyond the Eternal Detachment Rank. The reason is simple, you were born weak and forced to fight every second of your life."
Issac could not help but show pride in his eyes as a smile appeared on his face, and luckily for him, unlike with the duo, this time, the monster bathed in white flames explained the meaning behind his words.
"It is not your soul, body, energy, or even your Omega Law. While they are critical, and if you push them beyond the limits of the universe, you can obtain a semblance of battle power above the limits of Rank 9, they are still secondary. The key to achieving Rank 10 is willpower!"
The Primarchs felt their hearts accelerating as the answer they had searched for their entire lives had just been presented to them.
As they engraved those words in their minds, they immediately adopted battle positions as the white monster opened his mouth again.
Luckily, this time, what came out of it was not an attack but a torrent of silver blood that fused with the law matrix and the Cosmic Wall's passage.
Issac saw how the law matrix changed, pushing the Universe Will several light-years away. As for the passage's edge, it was reinforced and stabilized.
Once he did that, the white flames covering the monster weakened significantly. He gave one last glance at the trio before retreating from the Prima Universe.
Just as the monster figure left the passage, Issac and the other two Primarchs saw three figures crossing in.
One wore a harlequin costume with a white mask over his face, and another seemed like a life form made entirely of metal. The last one was a handsome young man with black hair surrounded by shadow streams.
The three had in common their monstrously powerful aura and the nine silver stars revolving around their heads, like crowns.
"I will take the giant one." The humanoid with the metallic body focused on the Titan Primarch.
"Then I will handle the dragon." The man in the harlequin costume focused on the Dragon Primarch as cards appeared in his hands.
The young man surrounded by shadows stared at Issac with a smile before glancing at the other two.
"Remember, this is not a fight to the death. We only need to see how strong they are in comparison to us."
The duo nodded before bumping their fists with the young man.
"Now, brothers, let us prove the power of the Alpha Universe."
