Chapter 637: One large defeat
The rise of Endless Darkness’ Five Cores of Existence triggered a cascading failure, making the emerging law matrix split in two!
The ocean of primeval forces that were supposed to become a new and more powerful Prima Universe gave birth to two universes.
Issac and the others saw how Cosmic Walls began to solidify from the remaining powers left after the Epoch Explosion. Two universes, each with their own Cosmic Walls but stuck together, were formed in seconds.
One of those universes was smaller, and only one of Endless Darkness’ Cores of Existence was left in it, while the larger universe kept four.
The Virtual Dream Universe now showed only the events occurring in the larger universe. As for the smaller universe, one could assume Zatiel was unaware of what happened with it.
Moments after the larger universe’s Cosmic Wall solidified, it unleashed primeval and instinctive willpower that immediately assaulted the four Cores of Existence of Endless Darkness.
That willpower managed to expel two of the Cores of Existence out of the universe. The other two were ingrained thoroughly in the law matrix, making it impossible to remove them.
In the end, that instinctive willpower only managed to purge some of the power of the Cores of Existences that remained inside the universe.
Issac’s eyes glowed with enlightenment as he focused on the small universe.
“It all makes sense now. The answer to why the Flame Imperator opened a portal so easily in the Cosmic Wall and why the Universe Will acted with reservations when it assaulted Chrollo. The Prima Universe and the Alpha Universe used to be one!”
Salomon and the other Primarchs understood the logic behind Issac’s words. They turned toward Zatiel, and he nodded.
However, before they could start making questions, they saw how the two Cores of Existence left inside the Prima Universe began to evolve into two massive planes.
Both planes were full of evilness, but there was a significant difference, one of them embodied order while the other manifested pure chaos.
It was then that the Primarchs understood that the Infinite Layers of the Abyss and the Nine Hells of Baator originated from two of Endless Darkness’ Cores of Existence!
Things did not end there, as once the evil planes actualized, they began to act over the Eternal River of the Afterlife, working on the souls full of evil and sin.
“Unlike everything else, there was only one Eternal River of the Afterlife for both the Alpha Universe and Prima Universe. It is not unknown for Abyss or Baator to draw some wandering souls belonging to the Alpha Universe.”
Issac and the others listened carefully to Zatiel. They understood the hidden meaning in those words, but since the Neo-Demon did not elaborate, they kept their questions to themselves.
As the two Cores of Existence inside the Prima Universe gave birth to Abyss and Baator, the ones expelled fused into a dark mass of bloody energy that gave birth to a new universe.
“As far as I am aware, the two Cores of Existence expelled from the Prima Universe were Endless Darkness’ energy and Omega Law. At its core, we can consider the Eldritch Universe as an Inner Universe that managed to actualize.” Zatiel spoke calmly, but those words made the Primarchs sigh.
It was clear that realizing that the universe they once considered the most significant threat for their survival was just the combination of Endless Darkness’ energy and cosmic force was not nice.
After showing all of that, the Virtual Dream Universe froze, and the forces that made the projections began to crumble. Zatiel had already taught them all they needed to know.
The Primarchs saw how strong Endless Darkness was. If being forced to self-destruct and enduring the might of an Epoch Explosion did not end the life of the alien entity, how could they defeat it?
Even though the Universe Avatar, a Rank 10 life form, had the help of a force much greater than the one of the current Prima Universe, the battle against Endless Darkness still resulted in a pyrrhic victory that ended with the universe’s premature death.
Not to mention there were still many things unknown to them. There must be secrets in the cores of Baator and Abyss, and they had no idea what happened with the Core of Existence left in the Alpha Universe.
As for attempting to destroy Baator and Abyss, none bothered to propose the idea since it was ludicrous. Not even the Incarnation of Death and Destruction, who they just learned had evolved four of his Cores of Existence, managed to do that.
“Is the Flame Imperator…” Hyperion did not finish his sentence before shaking his head. For a moment, he naively connected the Flame Imperator to Endless Darkness but immediately understood the flaws in that chain of thought.
Flames Imperator was mighty, and his aura was cold and ruthless, but there was no way he could be a part of Endless Darkness. Or else, none of the Dark Tower Alliance’s Primarchs would have survived their encounter.
Zatiel nodded as he saw that the Primarchs’ willpower managed to remain strong. They were afraid and unaware of how to proceed, but they would not give up to fear and doubt.
“Endless Darkness is an extremely powerful enemy, but the situation is not as desperate as you may think. Actually, that alien invader already endured one small and one large defeat during this Epoch.” The Neo-Demon remained silent as signaled the Primarchs to deduct the victories he just mentioned.
Salomon was the one that came with the first part of the answer. “Our victory during the Cataclysmic War.”
Zatiel nodded and waited for the name of the large defeat of Endless Darkness during this Epoch.
“The last battle of the Incarnation of Death and Destruction in the core of Nexus.”
Zatiel smiled as he turned to his side. The one that spoke was not one of the Primarchs, but his right hand and the one he trusted the most in the universe, Ezequiel.
“That is right. According to my knowledge, the Incarnation of Death and Destruction managed to neutralize the Core of Existence of Endless Darkness that inhabited Nexus’ origin.”
