A meaningful light crossed Zatiel's eyes as he glanced at the place Sundered Night stood. Venganza had risen to a level he was having a hard time measuring, and the potential of this one was incredible.
Just as Zatiel's eyes focused on the distance, Horus dashed again to the Neo-Demon Ancestor's back and attempted to perform a sneak attack.
"Hmph." Zatiel only sneered as he moved his head in the last second, dodging the Archdevil's flaming fist, before countering with a kick that sent this one flying away. And without losing momentum, his red-blue lightsaber cut Mortus' chest.
Despite facing twelve bloody swords simultaneously, Zatiel could overwhelm the Primarch-level Archdevil. His eyes constantly sent soul invasion spells fueled by Depravita Aura that hindered Mortus' speed of thought.
As for the dozens of suicidal Rank 7 and 8 Archdevils, none of them could get near the Neo-Demon Ancestor. The light of the Sun of Justice was too much for them.
Ezequiel was fighting Gorgodon while also countering the Rank 7 and 8 Archdevils that marched toward him without fear of death.
Sadly for the Rank 7 and 8 Archdevils, there were no blind spots for Ezequiel in his Monster Form, and every whip that emerged from his chest was more than powerful enough to handle them.
The only one that truly posed a challenge for the Supreme Neo-Demon was Gorgodon, as the Rank 9 Archdevil had a mighty body, forcing him to unleash all his power.
Fighting so many Archdevils put tremendous pressure on the Supreme Neo-Demon's mind. Luckily, his consciousness was particularly strong thanks to the Immortal Avatar True Doomsday Body, allowing him to divide his mind into several independent trains of thought.
Horus, Mortus, and Gorgodon were full of injuries. Broken bones and lacerations infected by black-white lightning and dark purple flames could be seen all over their bodies. Of course, that did not mean the battle had been entirely one-sided.
Both Zatiel and Ezequiel had received plenty of wounds during the battle. After all, their enemies had the power of Primarchs and felt no fear nor hesitation.
Nevertheless, the Neo-Demon Ancestor and Supreme Neo-Demon had superb healing abilities, so unlike their opponent's sorry figures, they seemed perfectly fine.
Not far away from them, Ragnar was also in a bloody fight against the mighty dragon-like Lofin. The Tyran of the Eighth Circle of Hell was the mightiest of the Rank 9 Archdevils, but there were still all sorts of lacerations over her giant body.
Although Ragnar's talent was not as powerful as that of Zatiel and Ezequiel, he was a Rank 9 life form, and the longer the battle carried on, the more power he could unleash.
Both parties were far from reaching their limit, but one could not say the same about the Fourth Circle of Hell. The trio's previous attack had left a laceration that almost split it in two, and now this fight pushed the landmass beyond its breaking point.
"CRACK!"
Although the cracks did not reach the Fourth Circle of Hell's origin, the damage to the landmass severely affected the plane's foundation.
That transformed into a small backlash endured by the Soul Core of Existence in Nexus, paralyzing the Archdevils for an instant.
Zatiel, Ezequiel, and Ragnar did not waste that opportunity, and each unleashed a devastating attack against Rank 9 Archdevils.
"Karmic Blade Fall!" Zatiel's red-blue lightsaber devoured Mordur's karma before igniting it all, generating a giant blade of fire that pierced forward.
"Emptiness Avatar Barrage!" Ezequiel returned to his humanoid form, and the power of black-white lighting exploded around his arms as the strength of the universe followed his command, forming dozens of phantoms.
The Supreme Neo-Demon and the phantoms attacked together, generating dozens of black-white lightning fist prints that flashed toward Gorgodon.
"Twilight of Valhalla!" Ragnar raised his ax as this one glowed with blinding light. His red aura gathered in it as the image of a dimension full of berserker warriors fighting to the death emerged.
The Viking then waved the ax down, generating an ocean of spears, swords, halberds, war hammers, and many more weapons that blasted forward.
Those powerful attacks containing some of the most amazing forces of the universe landed point-blank on the Rank 9 Archdevils, severely harming them and blasting them all the way into Anima, the Fifth Circle of Hell.
"¡AHHH!"
"¡AHHH!"
"¡AHHH!"
Roars of rage emerged from Nexus as Zatiel, Ezequiel, and Ragnar were destroying the Nine Circles of Hell, doing horrible damage to the already crippled Endless Darkness' Soul Core of Existence.
Unfortunately for Baator's nucleus, its roar only increased the slaughter intent in the trio. Zatiel, Ezequiel, and Ragnar blasted everything in their path as they marched into Anima and carried on with their cataclysmic battle against the Rank 9 Archdevils.
Just like it did with Phlegethos, the battle between the trio and the Archdevils began to harm the plane, and it was clear by this point that Horus, Mortus, Gorgodon, and Lofin would not be able to stop the Zatiel, Ezequiel and Ragnar.
The battle carried on for two more weeks when Zatiel finally slayed Horus, and the trio had already destroyed all the Rank 7 and 8 Archdevils.
As for Morstus, Gorgodon, and Lofin. The Rank 9 Archdevils were at the end of their rope and would not last much longer.
"AHHHHHH!" Another roar emerged from Nexus, carrying even more power than before.
Zatiel, Ezequiel, and Ragnar adopted solemn expressions when they heard that. The reason was that the roar resembled more a plea for help than a cry of rage.
The trio narrowed their eyes as they turned toward the 666th Layer of Abyss and felt a dark aura emerging from it.
It seemed Endless Darkness' Body Core of Existence was preparing to enhance its Archdemons and send them into Baator to help the Soul Core of Existence against the trio.
Archdemons marching into Baator to protect the evil plane was unprecedented, but so was the destruction of almost half of the Nine Circles of Hell.
Zatiel, Ezequiel, and Ragnar had exhausted a lot of their energy during this fight, and they would not be able to handle another wave of Primarch-level enemies.
However, just as the Body Core of Existence was potentiating its Archdemons and controlling their minds to march into Baator, three figures appeared outside Abyss.
A human, a Dragon, and a Titan stood between Abyss and Baator, and each of them unleashed an aura that made the void tremble.
