Athea's power increased enough so she could stand up, but it was still insufficient for her to rise to the sky.
Noah's eyes narrowed when he saw that and calmed his energy. Immediately, the entity turned his right hand toward the white sun that targeted Athea.
Luckily, Athea calmed her energy the next instant, stopping the entity in the sky from raising the power of the torrent of white flames targeting her.
Beelzebub also calmed his energy the next second, and he turned toward Noah. A decisive look appeared in the duo as they made their way toward Athea.
The power of the white suns was too strong to raise their bodies, but they could crawl their way. It took all their effort, but they managed to reach the woman.
Althea did not understand what was happening or why the duo was moving toward her. For a moment, she thought they would want to fight since the fewer the number of people in a world, the easier it would be to understand its essence, according to the words of the Sacred Guardian of the Samsara Realm.
However, she immediately discarded that idea since she was sure Noah and Beelzebub would never take such a low path. Once Noah and Beelzebub entered the stream of white flames that were attacking Athea, they saw that their white suns no longer targeted them.
"The white suns will not combine their power, and the entity in the sky can only raise the power of two white suns. The key to surpassing this world is teamwork."
Beelzebub's voice reached the mind of the other two. The white flames had burned most of his body, but despite his horrible condition, he was calm.
"It seems so, but I don't understand. The Nine Sacred Samsara Worlds is supposed to be a race."
Athea was confused, and so was Noah. The first thirty-three to reach the Ninth Samsara World and understand its essence would pass to the finals, so why would they be put into teams of three at this point of the trial?
"The entire Prima Universe's goal was to give birth to the Singularity. The Samsara Thearch achieved that destiny by rising above all others, but he was not alone, and more than once, he put his life in the hands of others.
Raising your power to the peak is important, but trusting others is necessary to become the universe's protagonist."
Athea and Noah were surprised to hear those words from Beelzebub. The Depravita genius seemed incredibly wise, yet they were sure this one was just as old as them.
The duo did not have time to wonder just what type of upbringing the Depravita genius had since time was running out, and they had to act soon before the white suns incinerated them.
Noah and Beelzebub each put a hand over Athea's shoulders before channeling almost every ounce of energy left in them into her body.
Athea pushed her focus to the limit as she suppressed all that energy. If she were to release it too soon, the entity in the sky would strengthen the white sun targeting her, and all their work would be for nothing.
Noah and Beelzebub kept channeling their energy into Athea until there was just a little bit left in them. At that point, the duo moved away from the young woman.
Athea took a deep breath as Noah and Beelzebub moved away from her, drawing back the attention of their own white suns. The next second, the duo made that last spark of energy inside them explode, causing the entity in the sky to target them.
Athea saw how the entity in the sky raised both hands, enhancing the white suns that targeted Noah and Beelzebub, and a monstrous silver flame appeared in her eyes.
The young woman's fighting spirit skyrocketed as she burned every ounce of energy inside her body alongside the one granted by Noah and Beelzebub.
Two flaming wings emerged on Athea's back, one dark and made of an extraordinarily pure and chaotic Depravita Aura and the other purple and full of vitality and destruction.
"¡BOOOM!"
Athea generated a sonic boom that echoed across the world as she flashed to the sky at a shocking speed. Her power grew increasingly chaotic with every wave of her wings, and all her wounds were healing, filling her with immense strength.
The entity in the sky showed no reaction and kept increasing the power in white suns that targeted Noah and Beelzebub, burning their bodies to such a degree that their bones were visible.
Noah and Beelzebub were in immense agony, but they kept their energy exploding. They could not stop now that they were so close to victory.
Athea knew the duo was in horrible condition, but her eyes only focused on the white sun and the entity in the sky. She could not allow her mind to wander for even a second and had to keep rising faster and faster.
"AHHHHH!" Athea roared as she reached the white sun and sent a fist forward, piercing into the flaming heavenly body and emerging on the other side.
The Suns of Origin in her forehead burst one last time with strength as her wings pushed her forward. Athea's eyes burned with a silver flame as her fist blasted the entity's head to pieces.
As soon as Athea destroyed the entity, the white suns exploded into a sea of soul force that reached each of them and began to heal their wounds.
"¡Boom!"
Athea fell to the ground as she had used all her energy in the last attack, but she only smiled as something like that could not damage her body, and the soul force was already healing her.
Noah and Beelzebub did not say a word, but both were also smiling as they remained on the ground. Their bodies were severely wounded, but it was nothing to the healing power of the Samsara Thearch's soul force.
It did not take long for the Samsara Thearch's soul force to heal the trio completely, and the moment that was over, a beam of light covered each of them.
