The arrival of Venganza shocked not only the Prima Universe's warriors but did the same with those of the Alpha Universe. Even Zatiel and the Flame Imperator adopted solemn expressions as they saw the Depravita of Revenge.
When the Flame Imperator taunted the entire Prima Universe and faced its strongest warriors, he showed serenity and a smile. However, there was caution behind his eyes as he saw Sundered Night's Leader.
Venganza was in his mightiest form, with the Silver Eye of Greed and Red Eye of Wrath on his forehead, meaning he had fused with Ira and Codicia.
The Flame Imperator and the Depravita of Revenge stared at each other as they walked to the other. None rushed, but each step cracked the ground beneath their feet.
The moment the Flame Imperator and Venganza stood face to face, each fired a fist forward.
"BOOM!" An explosion echoed through the new universe as shock waves blasted everywhere.
Salomon and Issac were sent flying away, which was lucky since neither of them would want to be near a fight between the Flame Imperator and the Depravita of Revenge.
After a second, the clash pushed Venganza seven steps back, but that did not matter at all. Because the Flame Imperator moved five steps!
That was something Lucifer, En, Salomon, and Issac could not achieve even by working together and pushing themselves beyond their limits.
Silence reigned in the Prima Universe and Alpha Universe. The Flame Imperator was a True Rank 10 life form, yet Venganza managed to face him on almost equal grounds!
The Flame Imperator stared at the mark on the ground left after being pushed back, and coldness emerged in his eyes.
"I have watched you. Why would you fight for a universe whose will sees your kind as defects?"
For the first time since he showed himself, the Flame Imperator spoke. Just his voice was powerful enough to throw the laws into disarray.
He had not uttered a single word when he faced Lucifer, En, Salomon, and Issac but did it with Venganza. The reason was simple, the Depravita of Revenge had the power to make him talk.
Shame appeared on the Prima Universe's warriors' faces as they understood that even their best fighters were too weak. Still, none of that mattered as they contemplated the Flame Imperator's words.
Venganza's power was shocking, and he was indeed a life form born in the Prima Universe, but everybody knew about how the Universe Will felt about the Depravita Race.
How could the Prima Universe ask someone to fight for it if not long ago it attempted to destroy that person?
The Depravita of Revenge only smiled as he heard that.
"You are mistaken. I am not fighting for the Prima Universe. I couldn't care less what would happen to the Universe Will or its powerhouses. At most, I would protect the mortals since a family member cares about them, but that is it."
Zatiel and everybody else showed complicated expressions when they heard Venganza's words. The man came as a hero, arriving just at the perfect time, but he now made it clear how he felt about all of them.
"Then why are you in my way?" The Flame Imperator's coldness only grew after hearing how insignificant the Prima Universe was for Venganza.
Since when a Rank 10 life form was someone people could just challenge for the thrill of it?
"Don't you remember? I told you hundreds of years ago that you are one of the targets of my revenge. I am not fighting for the Prima Universe but instead fighting against you." Venganza's aura began to rise as the Concept of Revenge's power grew stronger.
"Oh, and you think you can defeat me?" The Flame Imperator spoke as a torrent of white flames emerged from his body.
Those flames were incredibly powerful, but he could not hide the expression of pain on his face since using the Quietus Truth in his condition harmed him. However, he was no longer willing to play games and wanted to show everybody his overwhelming might.
Venganza saw how everything those white flames touched froze, and its gray domain was about to reach him. The Quietus Truth was monstrously powerful in destructive might, but his eyes showed no sign of fear.
"Let's see if I can win."
A smile appeared on the Depravita of Revenge's face as he allowed the range of the Truth Domain to reach him. He froze, but before the force could disintegrate him, a majestic wheel containing seven realms emerged behind him.
Immediately after that, a torrent of black flames emerged from Venganza and pushed the power of the Quietus Truth away before generating its own domain!
One force carried the power to push existence to its endpoint, while the other could burn the mind and ego of everything, even that of a universe!
Massive storm clouds formed above the duo as their powers clashed, unleashing wild energies.
The first one to act was the Flame Imperator, who flashed forward, grabbed Venganza's chest, and carried on until they clashed against a giant mountain.
The Flame Imperator had pinned down Venganza against the mountain when this one fired an uppercut. That blow made his mind tremble, and shock appeared in his eyes.
He had become so strong that only events at the level of an Epoch Explosion could severely harm his body, so the fact that Venganza's blow managed to make him tremble was shocking.
Venganza did not stop with that and fired a second punch, rotating his body and displaying all his physical power.
That hook landed on the Flame Imperator's temple, making him tremble even more. Yet, this time he clenched his teeth and fired a counter that landed on Veganza's jaw.
The Depravita of Revenge felt that punch would remove his head from his shoulders for a moment due to its immense power. However, just like his counterpart, he clenched his teeth and returned the attacks.
Every powerhouse in the Prima Universe and Alpha Universe saw two men bathed in flames exchanging blows that could erase a cosmos.
