Chapter 1014: The Verse

Confusion appeared in the eyes of the Sacred Kings, Knights, and everybody else present since they did not understand what Zatiel meant by "The Antagonist."

Of course, for the Daybreak Universe, the Beyonder was an existential threat that needed to be handled, but no matter how they were, everybody saw themselves as the hero of their own story. It made no sense for someone's identity to be the antagonist.

The Samsara Thearch noticed the doubt and bafflement in the Sacred Kings, but he did not explain and kept his eyes on the Beyonder, who was smiling at him.

"Bingo! You are right. I am the Antagonist of this Verse. My purpose in life is to fight you, push you to the absolute limit, and be defeated by you in an epic battle."

Every word that came out of the Beyonder's mouth generated waves upon waves of shock in the hearts of people listening to him. He had just declared that his destiny was to be defeated, a stepping stone in Zatiel's path, but there was nothing but peace and resolution in his eyes.

"Of course, someone like me will never yield to the Creator's Path. Not only will you not defeat me, but I will find a way to break you. I started the war and helped you evolve so I could devour your existence, allowing me to finally shatter the shackles of this Verse."

The Beyonder's eyes were full of excitement as he spoke to Zatiel, revealing his entire plan. The reason behind that was not his arrogance but the fact that he could talk with someone who could truly understand him for the first time in a very long time.

Zatiel's eyes narrowed as he stared at the Beyonder. He was still adapting to his power and new plane of consciousness, but he was able to understand the nature of the entity that Beyonder called Creator.

"The Creator is the origin of this Verse. Are you saying you will kill him?"

"¡HAHAHAHAHAHA!"

The Beyonder immediately burst into laughter as he heard Zatiel's words, as if it was the greatest joke he had ever heard in his life. It took a moment for him to calm down and look at Zatiel with a smile before shaking his head.

"We are able to override reality at will, ignoring the flow of time. Nothing more than a single thought is necessary for us to rise and destroy universes, but The Creator stands in an even higher realm.

This entire Verse is under his control. He can alter our sense of time at will, making us think billions of years have passed, while for him, it might be mere minutes. He needs nothing more than a few words to change the flow of time, creating a universe that was already countless Epochs old. 

I admit I had wanted to kill him, but time made me realize the foolishness of such a goal. Asking me to end his life would be like demanding a life form inside your Inner Universe to kill you."

The Sacred Kings and Knight were full of awe and perplexity as they heard the Beyonder talk about the Creator. It was nearly impossible for them to imagine someone of such power.

Zatiel, on the other hand, was able to keep calm since he knew that entity was all-powerful within the Verse.

"If you do not want to kill him, then what is your plan? You say you want to break the shackles, but how do you intend to do it? And why do you need me?"

As he heard those questions, the Beyonder adopted a solemn expression as if what he was about to say was something of extreme importance. 

"Do you feel it? The change in the flow of time? Our minds are able to see the future, but tell me, how far can you see right now?"

Zatiel was confused for a moment by those questions, but suddenly, a flash of enlightenment appeared on his face, and his eyes widened. He did not waste a single second, making his soul force burst as he gazed into the river of time, trying to perceive the future of the Emptiness.

Suddenly, a flash of terror assaulted Zatiel's soul, and his face grew pale. What he just saw was something that nearly broke his mind, and it took all his willpower to keep his emotions under control.

The Sacred Kings were surprised to see that something could terrify Zatiel, especially after his evolution into an entity capable of rewriting reality.

However, the Beyonder knew that was the perfect response to what was there.

"You saw it?"

Zatiel did not answer immediately and took a deep breath as he clenched his fists.

"This Verse, my Verse, is coming to its end."

The Beyonder softly nodded as he heard that analysis. That was exactly what was happening.

"What does it mean?"

Although trusting the answer of his ultimate enemy was not something Zatiel would have done in the past, he could not ignore what was happening now.

The Beyonder stared at Zatiel before looking into the distance.

"That was something I had contemplated for a very long time. Existence might cease to exist, and all of us will fade into nothingness, or maybe we will be frozen in a moment of time for all eternity, incapable of even generating a single new thought.

It could also be the case that we will continue living our lives as if nothing happened. 

In any case, I plan to act before it while I still have the chance to answer your question; my plan is simple. I will reach the top of that tower and proclaim my name with all my strength."

At this point, the Beyonder's smile faded, and he stared at Zatiel with coldness. 

"For that, I need to rise above my identity as "The Antagonist" and become something more significant. The only way to achieve that is to consume the one for whom this Verse was made."
