"I need you to die."
Venganza did not say another word before black flames carrying the power of the Eternal Flame of Hope covered his body, and he flashed toward the King in Yellow.
Those black flames incinerated the primeval energy in Venganza's path, allowing him to achieve an incredible speed.
The King in Yellow smiled as he saw the Depravita of Revenge coming at him. He had a chance to change everything now. If he could devour Venganza, that would not only heal all his injuries, but it could also be what he needed to take the next step and become a True Rank 10 life form.
A blast of aura that embodied the power of the Infinity Truth emerged from his body as he proceeded to fire an incredibly potent spell.
"Infinity Tsunami!"
In less than a nanosecond, the King in Yellow generated a tsunami that blasted forward with the compressed momentum of billions of light-years and the corrosive might of eons.
The King in Yellow smiled as he saw the Infinity Tsunami crashing down on Venganza, but that smile froze as the Depravita of Revenge vanished from sight!
'Impossible!' The King in Yellow could not believe what he saw. His spell should have sealed any form of space-time teleportation, so he could not understand how Venganza had just vanished.
Before the King in Yellow could figure out what happened, a figure appeared on his right. He could not do anything as a flaming fist landed on his face.
"¡BOOM!"
An explosion of black fire occurred when the punch landed on the King in Yellow's face, sending this one flying away.
That fist carried an incredible power, but luckily for the King in Yellow, the Infinity Truth created a shield around his body. It was a slim mantle less than one centimeter wide that contained light-years of space.
The Infinity Truth might not have remarkable offensive power, but its defensive capabilities were terrific. Of course, that did not mean the attack did not harm the King in Yellow, as there were burn marks on his face.
And things only grew worse for the King in Yellow as Venganza continued teleporting and striking him from every direction.
The King in Yellow knew that Depravita could travel through negative emotions, and he had obviously sealed his. However, he did not realize Venganza was not using Negative Teleporting but a much higher power.
Eternal Flames are all-encompassing by essence, and the Eternal Flame of Hope is omnipresent. Venganza was its nucleus, and the moment that black fire appeared, the Eternal Flame had already impregnated the Eldritch Universe.
Truths are by no means weaker than Eternal Flames, which is why the Flame Imperator was able to hinder Venganza's teleportation abilities. However, unlike the Alpha Universe's Leader, who had complete mastery over his Fourth Realm's Power after becoming a True Rank 10 life form, the King in Yellow was just a De-Facto Rank 10.
The King in Yellow was blasted from one direction to the other under Venganza's onslaught. If it weren't for his Infinity Mantle, he would have suffered deadly injuries by this point, and they could still happen if he did not do something to change things.
"AHHH!" Finally, the King in Yellow roared, expanding his Infinity Mantle, into a yellow force field that extended for millions of kilometers.
That weakened the King in Yellow's defenses significantly, but it also flooded the space with the power of the Infinity Truth.
The change in space forcefully took Venganza out of his teleportation, and the first thing he saw was a palm covered in yellow aura aiming at his heart.
Venganza could not dodge the attack and could only put his arms over his chest to protect his heart.
"¡BOOM!"
That palm strike sent Venganza flying away while puking blood, but he did not have the luxury to relax as the King in Yellow came crashing down on him.
A kick that split the primeval energy on its path approached Vengaza's neck, and there was no doubt in his mind that the attack had the power to separate his head from his body.
Just like before, Venganza could not dodge the attack, but he had the power to counter it this time. He twisted his body and sent a flaming kick up using the momentum.
"¡BOOOOOOM!"
Yellow aura and black fire blasted in all directions. The explosion sent the King in Yellow and the Depravita of Revenge flying away. Still, neither of them waited for even a second before making their energy explode and getting back into the fray.
The King in Yellow's aura became ferocious and an immense amount concentrated in his arms and legs, while Venganza's black fire burst, transforming this one into a flame tornado.
"¡BOOM!"
"¡BOOM!"
"¡BOOM!"
Explosion after explosion echoed inside the Eldritch Universe, unleashing waves of destruction that would wreck the universe to pieces if not for this one already in a state of utter chaos.
Venganza and the King in Yellow were too powerful and fast, making the entire Eldritch Universe their battlefield. For life forms like them, the waves of primeval energy that could crush Rank 8 life forms were nothing. Only a supreme universe like the one born of the combination of the Alpha Universe and Prima Universe could endure a battle like this one.
After almost two hours of fighting, the duo's momentum reached its zenith.
"BOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMM!"
An explosion that literally made the Eldritch Universe tremble sent Venganza and King in Yellow flying in different directions.
The first one to regain control was the King in Yellow, and what he did was burn his aura. His power reached a new level for a moment, and he transformed into a beam of light that flashed around the Depravita of Revenge.
Venganza's eyes could not keep up with the King in Yellow's speed, so he ignored his sight and let his instincts guide him.
Without warning, the Depravita of Revenge turned around and fired a punch that carried all his strength. He saw how his fist pierced the King in Yellow's body, but immediately he knew something was wrong.
