Awe appeared in the eyes of Venganza and Ravakir as they felt the changes in the Emptiness. The chaotic forces that had no order due to the lack of any matrix began to fall into place and reached a state of equilibrium due to a new pillar they could take as their core.
It was a truly shocking sight, and no matter which battlefield they were on, everybody saw it.
In their own parallel dimension, the Sacred Kings and Knights detained their fights for a second as they gazed at the burst of Bloodline Force that fused into the fabric of reality and began to alter the state of the Emptiness.
Ezequiel's entire body glowed with golden light as his cell entered a state of sublimation. Every atom of his body was bursting with energy, driving the cosmic forces in a radius of over one billion light years toward him.
The Emptiness Thearch's eyes wandered around for a moment as his consciousness reached what could only be described as a divine realm. He could see and understand everything.
Gravity's pull kept existence from unraveling, the movement of photons that gave light and color to all things, the fluxes of quantum that allowed the birth of countless dimensions, and the radiation of stars and nebulas that provided warmth and life to countless lives.
All of it was now under the domain of the Emptiness Thearch, allowing his battle power to rise to an incredibly high level.
"¡AHHHHH!"
Only one person was unmoved by the baptism of the Emptiness Thearch, the one who let go of everything else and whose power was a manifestation of nothing more than brute strength forcefully amalgamated into a phisical body.
Tormentras' soul force had burned to the point that even thinking was a problem, but the Knight did not need his mind to know how to attack. The only thought that remained in his head was that he needed to kill that golden man in front of him, and that was what he would do.
"¡BOOM!"
Cracks appeared in the fabric of reality as the Bringer of Extinction flashed toward Ezequiel, wielding his massive ax.
Ezequie's eyes regained their sharpness as he saw the Knight flashing toward him, and this time, he was ready. He dashed forward, and bursting black-white lightning covered his right arm.
"¡BOOOOMMMM!"
The clash between the Bringer of Extinction and the Emptiness Thearch made the parallel dimension tremble. It was hard to describe just how much power and destruction the duo unleashed by that simple exchange.
However, to have an idea of how much their power rose. One could compare the clash between Tormentras' ax and Ezequiel's fist with that of Nihilak's gravity punch and Zatiel's flaming sword!
That was right! The battle between Tormentras and Ezequiel rose to the level that could only be possible by the fight to the death of two Peak Middle Stage life forms!
Ezequiel showed a fierce smile as he used all the strength in his body and pushed the ax back. Not wasting the opening, he sent a powerful kick toward the Knight's chest, sending this one flying away while puking blood.
It was clear that the Emptiness Thearch's power had risen to a tremendous level, but that did not mean it became a one-sided battle.
Ezequiel had flashed after Tormentras, but just as he appeared in front of this one, the Knight managed to regain control over his body and hacked with his ax.
Not only did the ax have immense power, but its speed was also supernatural. Just before the ax could reach his neck, Ezequiel raised his right arm, stopping it.
Tormentras' eyes burned with mad killing intent as his ax cut half of Ezequiel's forearm, and he pushed forward, trying to sever the entire arm.
Ezequiel immediately pushed the Knight away with a kick before flashing forward.
Tormentras did not remain steady, flashing toward his opponent as well, full of killing intent, and his body bursting with greater strength by the second.
Venganza saw the immense power that Ezequiel could achieve, but how this one achieved it made him sigh.
The Emptiness Thearch made his bloodline explode, pushing his domain over World Strength to an inconceivable level, but there was one big flaw. The rise of power was only temporary, and once it was over, Ezequiel would grow immensely weak and lose his Lord of Emptiness Bloodline forever.
Even with Omnipotence, restoring the Fourth Realm Bloodline would be extremely hard since it was a cosmic power that escaped the boundary of a standard superuniverse.
However, nothing could be done about it since if Ezequiel had not gone to those extremes, Tormentras would have killed him already.
The Revenge Thearch's eyes grew cold as he burned his soul at full power. His victory over Ravakir was almost secure, but his inability to defeat the Echo of Doom fast enough forced Ezequiel to that extreme.
That was why, even if it meant being left in a coma for hundreds or millions of years, Venganza would do all in his power to end the fight as soon as possible.
Ravakir just saw how Ezequiel's power skyrocketed when he felt the sudden burst in energy from Venganza, and he only managed to raise his guard as dark suns exploded in front of him.
Ezequiel noticed the dark explosions in the distance, but he could not allow any distraction. While he fought with Tormentras, part of his mind was searching for a way to adapt the cosmic powers of the Emptiness into his battle style, and after a few minutes, he managed to do it.
"Celestial Harmonics Martial Arts!"
With the integration of cosmic forces, Ezequiel's movements became a dance that mimicked the harmonious ballet of the cosmos itself. He tapped into the forces of gravity, electromagnetism, radiation, and more, blending them seamlessly into his attacks.
Tormentras roared as he charged once again, his ax swinging with primal fury. But Ezequiel's Celestial Harmonics Martial Arts allowed him to manipulate gravity, and with a gesture of his hand, he altered the gravitational pull around Tormentras, making his movements sluggish.
Ezequiel's body blurred as he moved at incredible speeds, leaving afterimages that confused Tormentras' senses. The Knight's brute power was still formidable, but he found himself at a disadvantage against the finesse and mastery of cosmic forces that Ezequiel wielded.
The battlefield became a mesmerizing spectacle as Ezequiel and Tormentras clashed. Gravity shifted and twisted, photons danced around them, and bursts of energy akin to stellar explosions accompanied every strike.
Tormentras, fueled by his unwavering determination, managed to adapt to Ezequiel's new style, his attacks becoming more precise and his speed increasing further. The clash between their powers created shockwaves that rippled through space, distorting reality.
Ezequiel's body became a conduit for the forces of the universe, his strikes resonating with the cosmos. Stellar energies fueled his blows, and quantum fluxes allowed him to phase through Tormentras' attacks. It was a battle that transcended the limits of mortal combat, a clash of celestial proportions.
As the fight raged on, both combatants pushed their limits, drawing deeper from their respective power sources. Ezequiel's mastery of the Celestial Harmonics Martial Arts became more refined, while Tormentras' raw strength and speed continued to surge.
Each turn of the battle saw the advantage shift from one to the other. Ezequiel's finesse allowed him to evade Tormentras' devastating blows, while the Knight's relentless assaults tested the limits of the cosmic forces Ezequiel controlled.
The dimension around them trembled under the force of their clashes, and even the spectators from various realms could feel the immense energy radiating from the battlefield.
Over an hour passed as the Emptiness Thearch and Knight unleashed what could only be described as universe-ending powers.
Finally, Ezequiel's golden form flickered with intensity as he channeled his newfound cosmic mastery into a final, decisive strike. The energy of stars converged in his fist as he unleashed a punch that seemed to draw upon the very birth of galaxies.
Tormentras met the blow head-on with his ax, a clash that sent shockwaves rippling across the battlefield, distorting space and time itself. The collision created a blinding explosion of cosmic forces, engulfing both combatants.
It did not take long for the light to fade and the figures of Tormentras and Ezequiel to become visible again.
Large holes were all over the Knight's body, with some the size of a fist piercing all the way through him. The damage was so much that he did not seem able to move.
Ezequiel's condition was not much better, with his body growing weaker by the second, but there was still enough strength in him to fight for a few more minutes. What better way to use it than to kill the Tormentras?
A burst of black-white lightning emerged from Ezequiel's body as he flashed toward the paralyzed Knight with killing intent in his eyes, ready to blow the head of this one to pieces, destroying the soul in the process.
