"Samsara of Sin and Man: Advent of Hope!"
The sunlight carrying the power of the Quietus Truth clashed against flames that embody the quintessence of Samsara of Sin and Man.
"¡BOOM!"
"¡BOOM!"
"¡BOOM!"
Countless explosions echoed through the new universe as the two forces clashed. The sunlight and flames began to crack the laws as their power was too outlandish.
The sunlight and flames were the embodiment of forces that stood on a plane that the laws could not even fathom, forces that stood beyond the realm of reality.
Back in the Eldritch Universe, neither the Incarnation of Death and Destruction, the Flame Imperator, nor the King in Yellow could fully deploy the might of their Truths.
However, the Flame Imperator now had granular control over the Quietus Truth. As for Venganza, he was an idea made flesh, so his talent and mastery over Concepts had always been flawless.
"¡AHHH!"
"¡AHHH!"
Venganza and the Flame Imperator roared as they unleashed more and more power. Finally, both adopted a battle stance as the power of their flames and sunlight began to concentrate in their fists.
"Quietus Supernova!"
"Samsara of Sin and Man: Hope of Redemption!"
The Thearchs marched toward the other, and their eyes were burning with determination and killing intent as they unleashed their final attack.
The Flame Imperator's fist contained a force that would freeze existence itself. It was a power that could deprive every particle of its movement and energy, pushing an entire universe to a state of absolute inactivity, a state worse than destruction or oblivion.
That was the dread of the Quietus Truth. It stood at a level that forces carrying the might of death, destruction, oblivion, and even end could not compare.
Anyone that faced the Quietus Truth would feel a sense of absolute desperation invading their souls. It was ironic that the entity born of the essence of evil would fight against it with a force that filled everybody in its domain with hope.
Venganza's punch carried the power of the Samsara of Sin and Man's quintessence. Just like Truths were the evolutive step of Omega Laws, the power the Depravita of Revenge unleashed was the next step for Concepts.
In the Depravita of Revenge's fist, there was a force that could break any shackle, and nothing could stop. It could fill the heart and soul of every intelligent life form with endless drive and purpose.
All the Prima Universe's warriors that saw that flame entered a state of enlightenment for an instant. As long as time and life exist, that flame would flourish and grow without end, spreading out of control like eternal fire.
That was that force that filled even Zatiel with awe. It was a path to the Fourth Realm that had nothing to do with laws and all with Concepts and willpower.
The feeling that flame gave to the Neo-Demon Ancestor was something he had experienced many times before. Every time he was tired and chose to carry on, every time he was cornered and yet found a way through the dangers, every time he refused to give up, that feeling appeared.
Concepts could evolve into something that the Depravita of Revenge called Eternal Flames. For Sundered Night, a group that overcame their nature and sought to rise beyond their sins, there was nothing more fitting than the Eternal Flame of Hope!
"BOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMM!"
It was an explosion like no other as Flame Imperator's fist carrying the Quietus Truth and Venganza's punch holding the Eternal Flame of Hope collided!
The firmament cracked due to the shock waves the power of the Thearchs was unleashing. If that clash had happened inside the Prima Universe, the destruction would have erased at least ten percent of the entire universe!
Venganza and the Flame Imperator trembled non-stop, and blood leaked from their eyes. Neither was willing to pull back and kept sending more and more energy into their fist, attempting to overwhelm the other.
Flames and sunlight blasted in every direction, and a vacuum of reality slowly began to form around the Thearchs. It was a sight that no one in either super universe would ever forget.
"BOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMM!"
Finally, a second explosion carried on, even stronger than the first, blasting the Flame Imperator and the Depravita of Revenge in opposite directions.
The blast pushed the Depravita of Revenge toward the ground, where he formed a giant crater hiding his entire figure.
As for the Flame Imperator, he destroyed a mountain range in his path before being buried under the debris.
Silence, absolute and utter silence, reigned after that. No one in the Alpha Universe and Prima Universe dared to utter a single word as they waited for the duo to emerge again.
Luckily, they did not have to wait for long as soon two figures flashed back into the sky. The Flame Imperator and the Depravita of Revenge bloody figures were so imposing that they truly earned the title of Thearchs.
The Flame Imperator lost his right hand and part of the forearm, while Venganza lost the entire arm. Although it was fair to say that the first was the winner in the last clash, no one could rise as the absolute victor.
"Ahhh, your actions transformed a small battle into a bloody war." The Flame Imperator sighed as he stared at Zatiel and the warriors around this one. If Venganza had not appeared, his power would have overwhelmed the Prima Universe, destroying the entire universe's fighting spirit. Now that they saw a path to victory, they would not give up until the last warrior fell.
"Hmph, you started all this, yet now you are complaining. I truly loathe hypocrites!" Venganza did not hide his disdain.
The Flame Imperator's eyes narrowed but chose to remain quiet. He turned around and vanished into the Alpha Universe.
The ten thousand Primordials glanced at the Depravita of Revenge before following the Alpha Universe's Leader.
Since the new universe was already in place, nothing would stop the final war. This battle only bought some time for the Prima Universe, nothing more.
Venganza saw them leave before also marching away from the new universe. Once he reached the void, he turned to the Prima Universe's warriors before focusing on Zatiel.
The Depravita of Revenge and the True Godking of Justice stared at each other for a moment.
"Around twenty percent." Venganza only said that before vanishing.
Although some of the Prima Universe's warriors were confused, the wisest understood the meaning behind those words.
According to Venganza, the Flame Imperator could only deploy twenty percent of his strength during that last battle. That meant he would be five times stronger when they faced him at full power in the near future!
