"?BOOM!"
"?BOOM!"
"?BOOM!"
Purple mes engraved with golden runes shed against a ck-white fire. With every move, they traveled a distance impossible to measure, and every fist they fired generated shock waves that made the Emptiness tremble. Each of them unleashed a monstrous power that no normal super-universe could endure.
Zatiel and the me Imperator had battled for days. For the first time since his third life started, the Neo-Demon Ancestor found himself losing in terms of martial skills.
The me Imperator''s battle style seemed to result from abination of the Incarnation of Death and Destruction''s intuitive style and Endless Darkness'' methodic style. Every attack he made left no opening, and his defense was virtually wless.
However, every time the me Imperator and the Neo-Demon Ancestor shed, he was the one that lost the encounter. The reason for that was simple. Zatiel''s speed, strength, and resilience were too high, overwhelming the me Imperator.
There was immense rage and frustration in the me Imperator''s heart and soul as he unleashed all sorts of strikes. No matter how the me Imperator attacked, Zatiel dodged almost everything, and for those he could not avoid, he simply blocked them with his bare hands.
As he punched forward, a st of ck-white fire emerged from the me Imperator''s right hand.
Zatiel''s hand was about to block that punch, but at thest second, he stopped and allowed the attack tond point-nk on his face.
"?BOOM!"
An explosion of ck-white mes urred when the me Imperator''s punchnded on Zatiel, sending this one flying away.
The me Imperator smiled as he saw his attack connecting, but it froze the next second.
Zatiel regained control over his body almost instantly. His purple mes with golden runes consumed the ck-white fire attempting to corrupt his body.
The only thing that point-nk attack achieved was leaving a tiny cut on Zatiel''s upper lip, which healed as soon as his power devoured the ck-white fire.
Terror and shock appeared on the me Imperator''s face as he saw just how strong Zatiel was and that, unlike him, this one was adapting to the Emtpiness'' suppression.
"How?" The me Imperator could not understand how Zatiel could ovee a force that even he, with his countless eons of experiences, did not.
Zatiel stared at the me Imperator with calm. He could adapt to the Emptiness because of his Primordial Body Incarnation.
The demonic dragon was a pure-blooded Primordial, and after rising to Rank 10, his bloodline evolved to be infinitely close to that of a Lord of Emptiness. While Zatiel could not control the power of the Emptiness like Pan Gu or Ezequiel, adapting to its suppression was not that hard and only took a couple of days.
The calm expression on Zatiel''s face only made the rage and anxiety in the me Imperator grow. For him, this was a battle with his life on the line, but the enemy took it as a chance to test new powers.
Zatiel did not care about the me Imperator''s thoughts and appeared in front of him the next second before unleashing an onught.
Kicks and punches bathed in purple-golden mes began tond on the me Imperator''s body. They were too fast, and even those he could block unleashed vibrations that traveled into his inner organs.<novelnext></novelnext>
Golden runes engraved themselves in the me Imperator''s flesh and blood, burning him from the inside out. Those runes contained the Eternal me of Justice and would not rest until they destroyed all evil.
Just that force was enough to threaten the me Imperator''s life, but Zatiel''s attacks also contained purple fire that reached his Inner Universe.
The me Imperator''s Inner Universe contained an endless sea of white mes born of the Quietus Truth that gave it incredibly high spiritual defenses. Sadly for him, Zatile''s purple fire was the Universal Sasmara Truth''s quintessence.
That purple fire could transform all life into nothingness. It could sever the circle of eternal reincarnation of any universe, so how could a Fourth Realm''s life form''s Inner Universe resist?
Zatiel carried on with his onught as a sh of madness appeared in the me Imperator''s eyes.
"AHHH!" The me Imperator roared as he set his vitality and soul force aze, increasing his power and unleashing a shock wave that pushed Zatiel away.
He immediately used that energy to generate giant white sunsrger than Principal Worlds. In an instant, there were almost one hundred of them around the me Imperator, each with the power to do irreversible damage to a super universe.
"Quietus Sun Barrage!"
Zatiel saw those Quietus Sun sted toward him, carrying an abominable force. Just as they were about to reach him, he sped his hand and focused all his power on the wheel with the golden sun behind him.
A purple-golden shock wave emerged from Zatiel''s palms, freezing the Quietus Suns'' march.
The me Imperator could not believe what he was seeing, and things only grew worse for him as Zatiel slowly opened his palms.
It was incredibly small, the size of a subatomic particle, but the me Imperator saw the purple dot that formed between Zatiel''s hands.
That purple dot gave one revolution, unleashing a second shock wave that shattered the Quietus Suns. Its power did not stop there as it reached the me Imperator, pushing him away and making his legs and arms explode.
The me Imperator was in incredible agony, and the terror in his heart grew even stronger as he saw the small purple sun with golden runes now held in Zatiel''s hand.
It was smaller than a dot of dust, but its power was enough to end a super universe from existence!
Zatiel''s eyes glowed as he focused on the small sun and felt his understanding of the Fourth Realm growing again. He wanted to test many things, but he had to finish something first.
"Time to die," Zatiel spoke those words with utter calmness as he stared at the me Imperator.
"Universal Justice Superno..."
Just as Zatiel was about to detonate that spell, the me Imperator screamed with terror.
"I can tell you how to bring her back to life!"
