The Infinity Gravity Sun was heavier than a High World and smaller than a star. Yet, Ezequiel stopped its charge using the monstrous strength of his body. That was a level of physical might that no other Rank 8 life form could achieve and one that even those at Late Rank 9 would find hard to mimic.
All those geniuses in the eighth layer of the Realm of Madness saw themselves as unique, and they were not wrong since they achieved wondrous might at a young age. Not a small number of them thought they could surpass the old generation's powerhouses and rise to the peak, given enough time.
Everyone had heard the legend of Invictus, the supreme genius that followed the Incarnation of Death and Destruction, someone widely accepted as the greatest genius of this generation. Although the stories of his feats were terrific, his absence over the last few centuries made it so many geniuses thought they could surpass him.
However, as they saw that heroic figure bathed in black-white lightning holding back that blue sun, they all were brought back to reality, admitting they were in a different league.
Ezequiel took a deep breath as the Equilibrium of Man and World Omega Law burst with power, allowing him to channel the strength of the Realm of Madness. His muscles bulged as the power of Emptiness in his lightning allowed him to shatter the Infinity Gravity Sun!
Bael's body trembled due to the backlash of having his spell break apart, and before he could get over it, the Supreme Neo-Demon was already in front of him.
Ezequiel grabbed Bael's chest and used his body like a battering ram against the landmass above them!
"¡BOOM!"
"¡BOOM!"
"¡BOOM!"
The duo pierced one layer after another before they were finally outside of the Realm of Madness.
Apex and Ivar were surprised to see Ezequiel come out of nowhere and even more deploying such incredible battle power. Nevertheless, not so astonished as Lilet, and taking advantage of her lapse in awareness, they unleashed their strongest attack against her.
Lilet saw a spear and a fist carrying immense power coming in her direction and could only block them. Due to Ivar and Apex's fast thinking, the attack sent her out of the Realm of Madness, moving their battle into the void where they would not involve the young geniuses.
Any other time the fight between Apex and Ivar against the Heavenly Primarch would have drawn everybody's attention, but right now, the one that took the spotlight was that of Ezequiel and Bael.
All the powerhouses wanted to see just how well the Supreme Neo-Demon would do against a Primarch, and they were not alone as all the geniuses in every layer of the Realm of Madness stopped what they were doing and focused in the void.
Ezequiel used all his power to pull Bael away from the Realm of Madness. A battle where he deployed all his strength could destroy the landmass of a Principal World or Plane, as proven with Avernus and Dis.
Bael's face filled with fury as he felt the new wound on his back. He stabilized his energy after the backlash and, without hesitation, made it explode again, unleashing a shock wave that pushed Ezequiel away from him.
"How dare you face a Primarch..." Bale had not even finished his sentence before Ezequiel overcame the gravitational push and flashed back into the fray.
The Supreme Neo-Demon showed nothing in his eyes, and white-black lightning carrying the overwhelming power of the Emptiness gathered in his fist. He was not here to speak but to kill.
Bael's eyes widened as he felt the immense strength behind that fist charged with black-white lighting. It was incredible for him that someone who had yet to enter Rank 9 could deploy such battle power. However, as a seasoned warrior with billions of years of experience, he regained focus immediately.
A fist covered in blue flames that carry a weight mightier than a black hole clashed against the punch bathed in black-white lightning.
"¡BOOOOMMMM!"
Cracks formed in space-time, making parts of the void collapse due to the power those two fists unleashed once they crashed. To Bael's shock, he could not push Ezequiel's back, meaning that at least in terms of physical might, they were around the same level!
Ezequiel did not care that he could match a Primarch whose bloodline granted immense brute strength. He was a Lord of Emptiness, the race with the mightiest body one could imagine.
Without losing momentum or distracting, the Supreme Neo-Demon fired a kick at Bael's head, redirecting his white-black lightning into the leg simultaneously.
The Imperishable Gravity Star Archangel saw the kick coming to his head, forcing him to move back. Unfortunately, that created an opening that Ezequiel did not miss.
Bael avoided a kick in the head but could not stop a punch from landing on his chest, making him puke blood and sending him flying away.
Even if Bael was a Primarch now, and his soul force and Inner Universe grew exponentially stronger, that did not mean he had recovered. He still was missing his right arm and had a hole in his skull.
The Imperishable Gravity Star Bloodline granted immense physical defenses but only average regeneration abilities. The stronger the body, the more energy one would need to heal it, and it was simply impossible for Bael to do it during a life and death battle.
The Supreme Neo-Demon immediately flashed toward Bael after landing that blow, ready to unleash an onslaught. Yet, in the last second, the Imperishable Gravity Star Archangel acted, firing an ax kick that landed on his shoulder.
Even heavily wounded and without an arm, Bael could react, proving that underestimating his martial skills would be a mistake.
That kick shattered the bones in Ezequiel's shoulder and sent him crashing down. Luckily he rearranged his cells and healed the damage just in time to raise his arms so they could block the barrage of blows fired by Bael.
Ezequiel felt his arms trembling due to the power behind each blow. As one was about to land on his head, he moved it and fired a counter.
That following punch had Ezequiel's strength plus that of Bael, so it was no wonder it sent the Archangel flying away.
