An eerie silence permeated the Alpha-Prima Universe as the ten thousand Primordials in it stared at the massive army right at the universe's border. The Prima Universe's army was just as large as the Alpha Universe's, and fighting spirit burned in their eyes.
The Empyrean Primordials' Leader led the Alpha Universe's army, and his eyes focused solely on two individuals. One was a man with twelve wings and an aura that surpassed Rank 9, while the other was a gorgeous woman with a crown of ten mutated Silver Stars of Origin.
At a personal level, Chrollo did not feel hatred against the Prima Universe's warriors, as he understood that they were just like him, fighting for their home. However, when his gaze landed on Yami, there was a pure and immense loath.
In Chrollo's mind, the Heavenly Empress's arrogance and vanity triggered the Alpha Dominance War, forcing him to fight and kill his brothers.
Yami could feel Chrollo's hatred, but she did not waste her time with this one. She knew nothing she could say or do would make him change his mind, as the Flame Imperator's deception had already corrupted the mind and soul of every Alpha Universe's Primordial.
Hundreds of millions of years ago, Yami refused to accept the Flame Imperator as the Alpha Universe's Spiritual Leader because she saw beyond the Eternal Flame of Deception and knew the true nature of this one.
Even until this day, Yami blamed herself for her naivete. She had accepted the meeting with the Flame Imperator to find a peaceful way to coexist, but this one attacked first and used the Eternal Flame of Deception to trick the universe, making her look like the one that threw the first strike.
Yami learned too late that the Flame Imperator sought that meeting just to set a trap, enraging the Primordials on his side to attack, starting the Alpha Dominance War.
If there were anyone the Heavenly Empress hated from the bottom of her soul, that would be the Flame Imperator. That is why she would join Lucifer against this one, even though entering a Rank 10 level battle would almost certainly end with her dying.
Almost ten years went by since the Flame Imperator, and the Primordial Legion began to infuse their soul force into the Alpha-Prima Universe. If they carry on for too long, the new Universe Will would recognize them as its native people, reducing the Prima Universe's chances of victory to zero.
Nevertheless, despite that immense danger, none of the Prima Universe's warriors made a move. Zatiel Daybreak told them to wait for his signal, and they would do that!
Suddenly, the strongest warriors on both sides frowned as they felt an incredibly powerful aura approaching. Once it became clear to whom it belonged, the Prima Universe's warriors smiled.
The most potent life form born in the Prima Universe appeared next to Lucifer. Venganza did not say a word before his aura crossed into the Alpha-Prima Universe, allowing all the Primordials to feel its power.
None of the Empyrean Primordials could hide their shock as they felt the Depravita of Revenge's aura. Chrollo thought he had neared that level after his Tenth Silver Star of Origin, but it was clear he was still far from it.
Luckily for the Primordial Legion, a gray domain descended from the sky and immediately clashed against the destructive aura, pushing it back.
Venganza no longer bothered with the Primordial Legion and focused on the Flame Imperator. Neither hid the hatred and killing intent they felt for the other.
Just their gaze and killing intent were enough to generate a lighting storm in the sky.
The Primordial Legion and Prima Universe's army stared at the duo with awe. They truly earned the title Thearch, something not even De-Facto Rank 10 had the right to possess.
Venganza's eyes glowed as the Samsara of Sin and Man emerged behind him. The wheel contained a power that stood above the limits of a super universe now that Sundered Night controlled the Realm of Wrath, Realm of Greed, and Realm of Pride.
A second after that, a creature emerged from the Samsara of Sin and Man. It had been hibernating inside the wheel for a long time, and it was finally time for it to show its presence again.
Both sides saw a world-like entity made of pure black plasma and whose aura embodied the quintessence of evilness. If that were all, it would be far from enough to shock those armies, but the creature's vitality and energy were simply outrageous, surpassing the limits of the Law Realm!
Everybody in the Prima Universe was aware of this entity. It was the sole responsible for shattering more than one hundred layers of Abyss and killing trillions of Demons, including two Rank 9 Archdemons.
The Depravita Devourer, Final Dawn!
The Flame Imperator stared at Final Dawn, and a sharp light appeared in his eyes as he felt the aura of the Fourth Realm in the creature. He concluded that Venganza allowed that monster to consume the body and soul of the slayed Rank 10 Emptiness Creature from which this one obtained the bone halberd.
Nevertheless, despite Final Dawn's vitality, the Flame Imperator did not feel threatened by it. The creature could achieve immense destructive power against planes and worlds, but a Rank 10 battlefield was different. A single blast from the Quietus Truth would be enough to incapacitate it for a long time.
Venganza was aware of Final Dawn's battle flaws, which is why he never intended for the creature to fight by his side. The bone halberd appeared on his right hand just as he raised the left one.
Final Dawn began to tremble, and in less than ten seconds, it shrunk to the size of a small sphere. Venganza held it in his left hand and showed a cold smile to the Flame Imperator before embedding it into his bone halberd.
The Rank 10 Artifact in the hands of the Depravita of Revenge began to tremble due to the immense power flowing through it, and it seemed that it would shatter at any moment. However, it endured, and once the fusion was over, a corrosive aura that could consume Truths and Eternal Flames emerged from the halberd!
Venganza could have done all that away from everybody's sight, but he wanted the warriors of both universes to see it. He needed to show the Primordial Legion that their leader's cultivation was not unmatched and the Prima Universe's army that they had the power to face a True Rank 10 life form.
A smile appeared on the Depravita of Revenge's face as he saw the fighting will growing in the Prima Universe's army, but he knew it was not enough.
Venganza turned around and focused solely on the Prima Universe's army before releasing a silver sphere bathed in dark flames.
The silver sphere rose a few hundred kilometers before morphing into a giant flaming face of Zatiel Daybreak. It was not a simple illusion, as everybody could feel the Neo-Demon Ancestor's willpower in it.
Zatiel's flaming face stared at the Prima Universe's army, and a monstrous killing intent emerged in it.
"FIGHT!"
It uttered that word before vanishing, nothing more. Still, it was all the Prima Universe's warriors needed to set their souls ablaze, generating a slaughter intent that covered the entire army.
"For the Prima Universe! For Zatiel Daybreak!" Lucifer shouted those words as he flashed into the Alpha-Prima Universe, followed by the entire Prima Universe's army.
The battle that would decide the destiny of the multiverse had finally begun!
