En did not hesitate to use the full power of his Endless Growth Omega Law on Lucifer. Although he managed to calm the erratic life force of this one, a somber expression appeared on his face as he detected that no matter what he did, Lucifer's vitality kept growing weaker.
The World Tree's Omega Law could, at most, slow down the speed at which Lucifer's life force depleted, but in the best-case scenario, it would not last more than one hundred years.
"It's okay. I knew this would happen, but I have no problem with it. Had I not attacked with everything I had from the beginning, I would have at most left some superficial wounds on the Flame Imperator. My eternal lifespan in exchange for stripping him from his life-saving technique is more than fair." Lucifer showed a radiant smile, and it was clear he had no regrets. Having enough life to fight in the Ultimate Multiversal War was all he cared about.
"I must say that the Prima Universe's warriors never stop impressing me. Your convictions certainly match your outrageous talents. You have my undying respect, Champion of Justice and Order." Yami's voice had an angelic tone but also an imposing might.
Lucifer and En turned toward Yami, and neither could hide the curiosity in their eyes. It was clear to them that she and the Flame Imperator had some history. However, since she was an acquaintance with the Supreme Neo-Demon and fought by their side, they decided to trust her.
Lucifer was about to return Yami's kind words when his eyes widened, and he focused on the distance. A large smile appeared on his face, along with killing intent.
"Haha, you finally showed up. Well, I guess it is better late than never."
En and Yami were confused by those words, but then they felt it and showed a smile full of killing intent, just like Lucifer.
The Flame Imperator advanced at a shocking speed and the Alpha-Prima Universe had already appeared in his sight when his instincts began to scream danger like crazy.
The number of life forms that could generate that feeling of doom on the Flame Imperator could be counted with the fingers of one hand, and the one that originated it this time was the worst of all.
"Where are you going so fast!?" A voice that could freeze the laws and Concepts echoed through the void as a humanoid with an appearance shockingly similar to the Flame Imperator appeared.
The Flame Imperator saw Venganza and a hateful expression appeared on his face as he saw the three eyes on the Depravita of Revenge's forehead. Each of them had immense power and connected to a different Concept that the members of Sundered Night developed to the absolute peak of the Third Realm.
Venganza's red, silver, and golden eyes burst with power as he made a large weapon appear. It had the form of a halberd, but the most shocking thing was that it unleashed an aura at the Fourth Realm!
Upon a closer look, the weapon was made purely of bones with dark metallic scales.
The Flame Imperator's expression grew even worse as he saw that weapon. He knew there was no one in the known multiverse capable of creating a Fourth Realm Artifact, so Venganza must have obtained it from the corpse of a Rank 10 Emptiness Creature!
Venganza's power exploded as the Eternal Flame of Hope, and Eternal Flame of Revenge coated the weapon and struck forward with every iota of strength he had.
An arc of mighty and compacted flames emerged from the weapon and landed on the Flame Imperator's back, leaving a searing cut that reached all the way to the bone!
"AHHH!" The Flame Imperator cried due to the immense pain as that attack harmed not only his body but also his soul. Still, he clenched his teeth and drove forward, finally leaving the Prima Universe.
As soon as the Flame Imperator left the Prima Universe and no longer had to endure the Universe Will's suppression, his power rose almost five times. He turned around and glanced at the Depravita of Revenge with pure hatred and killing intent.
"Damm aberration. I will enslave your kind for eternity after I win this war!"
Venganza showed a mocking smile toward the Flame Imperator. Other than the members of Sundered Night, he did not care about any Depravita. Not to mention that now that he had the power to travel through the Emptiness, there was no reason to fear the Ultimate Multiversal War's outcome.
Still, killing intent burned in Vengaza's eyes as he contemplated entering the Alpha-Prima Universe to test the Flame Imperator's strength.
In the end, the Depravita of Revenge chose against it. He had yet to enter the Fourth Realm, so there was no way he could win against a full-power Flame Imperator alone.
And there were also the ten thousand Primordials that had just marched into the Alpha-Prima Universe and would not hesitate to give their life for their leader.
Venganza gave one last glance to the Flame Imperator and the Empyrean Primordials before turning around and flying away.
The bulk of the Primordial Legion adopted a formation in the distance, but the Empyrean Primordials got closer to the Flame Imperator. Chrollo and the others could not help but show shock as they saw the unrestrained fury in their leader.
For the Alpha Universe, the Flame Imperator was an omnipotent entity whose minds and emotions could never get out of control and knew nothing but peace. The fact that any form of tribulation could affect him was unthinkable.
The Flame Imperator glanced at the Empyrean Primordials, but unlike his usual kindness, there was a coldness in his eyes. However, before anyone could detect it, the Eternal Flame of Deception acted, hiding his true nature and granting him his peaceful aura back.
He rose to the sky and unleashed his soul force, impregnating it in the firmament.
"Fuse your soul force into the earth. We will fuse our nature in this new universe!"
Chrollo and the rest of the Empyrean Primordials immediately understood the Flame Imperator's plans.
The Alpha-Prima Universe had already grown powerful enough to show the first signs of a Universe Will. If they send their soul force into this one, then after a few decades, it will recognize them as their native population.
There was no way the Prima Universe would allow that, so the actions of the Flame Imperator declared the end of peace and marked the beginning of the Ultimate Multiversal War!
