Chapter 1055 Happy Ending (IX)
Chapter 1055 Happy Ending (IX)
It was a dangerous bet, but it paid off as the physical incarnation managed to stop Zatiel before this one could perform his final spell.
A cold smile appeared in the Beyonder\'s physical incarnation as the core of the cancerous universe trembled before five spikes of dark blue energy emerged from this one, piercing Zatiel\'s head and extremities!
"Master!"
"Zatiel!"
"Father!"
Screams emerged from the Daybreak Universe as they saw Zatiel being impaled by the Beyonder, completely severing his ability to move.
"I...have...won!"
The Beyonder\'s voice echoed across the Emptiness, and there was nothing but absolute thrill in it. Over 70% of his existence had disintegrated during this fight, but none of that mattered since he had finally attained victory.
From the moment the Beyonder understood his nature, the sole goal of his existence was to rise above the label forced on him by The Creator. It had taken a determination as great as the Emptiness itself, but he finally won!
Now that Zatiel Daybreak was defeated, the rest of the Daybreak Verse would follow suit, and soon the Beyonder, the Arch-Antagonist, would march through the Oblivion Gate and face the origin of creation itself!

"Hahahaha."
Or at least those were the thoughts of the Beyonder until he heard how the man impaled through his heart, brain, arms, and legs began to laugh.
The Beyonder focused on Zatiel, and his soul trembled as he saw this one laughing with a radiant smile on his face. The cancerous universe felt something was wrong, but he did not know what.
"What are you laughing at!"
Confusion turned into frustration, which soon became a burning rage as the Beyonder shouted.
"I can feel your energy, and there is less than 5% left! Even if I had not stopped you, your final attack would not have killed me!"
Zatiel stopped laughing as he heard those words, and although he could not move a single part of his body, his eyes still went from one side to the other as if he were shaking his head.
"I asked you before this battle even started a very important question. When does a person cease to exist?"
The Beyonder\'s soul trembled with even greater strength as he heard that question. He could rip Zatiel to pieces right now but could not help but wait as he wanted to listen to what his counterpart had to say.
"Do we cease to exist when our souls and bodies are obliterated into nothing or when we surrender ourselves to the path defined by others?"
Zatiel\'s smile grew wider as he negated using his eyes, and then he shared his vision with the incarnation left in the Daybreak Universe. As he saw the crying faces of all those people, the answer to his question became clear.
"We cease to exist when we fade from the mind of those who love us!"
As Zatiel shouted those words, his body began to glow with a beautiful white light!
The Beyonder was shocked by the sudden burst of energy in the Samsara Thearch, but before he could make a single move, a white flaming net emerged from Zatiel\'s body, reaching his nucleus.
The white flaming net immediately paralyzed the Beyonder\'s nucleus and his physical incarnation. It did not stop there as it expanded at an incredible speed, covering every piece of the cancerous universe before spreading into the Emptiness.
Shock and confusion appeared in the eyes of the people in the Daybreak Universe as they saw that white flaming net expanding farther and farther away. None of them understood what was happening, and they turned to Zatiel\'s incarnation.
"We have won."
Zatiel uttered those words with a peaceful smile full of love, but it filled everybody who heard them with a sense of unbearable sadness.
"You won\'t come back."
Ezequiel used every iota of his willpower to say those words as he fought the tears.
"I won\'t. My Final Spell will use my entire existence as fuel, erasing the Beyonder from the Daybreak Verse. It was the only way to attain victory without sacrificing all of you."
Ezequiel was about to speak again, shouting that he would have rather die himself, but Zatiel raised his hand, stopping him and all the others.
"You were ready to die for me, but I could not allow it."
Zatiel took a step forward and hugged Zitra and Sophia, who could not stop crying before giving Aurora a soft kiss on his forehead. He then turned to Dante and Noah before showing a smile full of paternal love.
Soon, Zatiel\'s eyes turned to all the others who had been part of his path, and he could not help but shed tears as well.
"Thanks for everything. You have given me a wonderful life!"
Those were the last words from the incarnation before this one crumbled into energy particles that fused into the white flaming net.
"¡FINAL SPELL!"
Every single life form in the Daybreak Verse, no matter their level or sentience, was able to hear those words in their minds.
A sense of panic, dread, and sadness assaulted everybody in the Daybreak Universe as they turned to Zatiel\'s figure in the distance.
"HAPPY ENDING!"
Those were the final words of Zatiel Daybreak, as the white flaming net exploded with power, setting every corner of the Daybreak Verse ablaze.
It was a display of power and might that filled the hearts of every man, woman, child, and animal in the Verse with wonder and respect. Even those who never knew of the battle in the Emptiness could not help but cry as they looked at those beautiful flames since they were the final display of the Samsara Thearch.
