Athea crushed the vortices in her path, but the Space-Time Moons flashed toward her at shocking speed. She had already seen the power of that spell and was sure she could crush them before Abadon increased the distance between them.
"Cosmic Punch!"
The Neo-Demon sent a giant fist made of black-white lightning to destroy all the Space-Time Moons, but things did not go her way.
Malevolent faces appeared in each of the Space-Time Moons that Abadon created and began to unleash the power of the Concept of Black Holes.
Athea's eyes widened when she saw the change in the Space-Time Moons and how their power increased exponentially. By using her blood as a catalyst, Abadon created a living spell, similar to how the Samsara Thearch created the Prima Depravitas by using the negative thoughts of life forms!
"¡BOOM!"
Before the Neo-Demon could react to the sentient Space-Time Moons, one of them crashed with the Cosmic Punch and self-destructed, destroying the giant black-white lightning fist.
The blast obstructed Athea's vision, but she relied on her instincts to avoid the flaming hands aimed at her neck and spine. She jumped back just in time and saw nine humanoids made of sky-blue fire that resembled Abadon.
Athea could feel the power in the humanoid, and she could easily destroy them with her physical attacks, but something felt wrong.
The fire humanoids flashed toward Athea, but she generated nine avatars instead of pushing forward, using them to handle the living spells. While relying solely on her body would have been more energy-wise, Athea felt it would be a mistake.
As soon as the avatars and the fire humanoids entered into contact, the latter exploded into a massive sea of sky-blue fire that illuminated the entire sky above the arena.
Abadon's eyes narrowed as he saw that the Neo-Demon managed to overcome her scheme but did not lose focus and kept moving across the sky while raising her energy. The sea of flames covered her vision of Athea, so she pushed her perception to the limit, looking around the explosion for where the Neo-Demon would come.
The Depravita was ready to counter the moment Athea appeared in her field of view, but all her plans failed once the Neo-Demon emerged from inside the explosion and appeared right in front of her.
Athea had crossed the explosion of fire and lightning, enduring burns all across her body but taking the Depravita by surprise.
Abadon clasped her hands and put them forward, unleashing a massive gravitational rejection. However, the defense was too hasty and far from enough to unleash enough power to stop Athea's fist, which she charged to its fullest.
Athea easily broke through the gravitational power before landing her fist directly into Abadon's chest, sending this one crashing down.
Abadon puked blood and felt her internal organs shattering, forcing her to use her energy to heal them, but even with that pain, her eyes did not lose focus. She clasped her hands, burning her blood to take back control of the energy left in the sky by the explosion of the fire humanoids.
Athea was ready to flash after the Depravita when she felt the sea of sky-blue transform into giant jaws that sought to devour her. She immediately turned around and unleashed a barrage of powerful punches forward, each triggering a concentrated energy beam.
The energy beams managed to shatter the giant jaws of sky-blue fire easily, but Athea was not happy. Although it took very little energy to overcome that attack, it gave Abadon enough time to regain her breathing and heal her wounds.
Abadon and Athea looked at each other with battle intent in their eyes. None of them contained their attacks, and everything they used had the sole purpose of ending the other.
There was no hesitation in their eyes as they burst their energy again and continued their fight. Explosions of black-white lightning and sky-blue flames filled the arena, with both women unleashing all sorts of majestic and deadly spells.
The Neo-Demon and Depravita fought at superluminal speed, moving across the entire arena and clashing thousands of times for more than ten minutes. Suddenly, a scream of pain echoed across the sky, and a bloody figure crashed into the ground.
Abadon had a bloody hole in the center of her chest with black-white lightning surrounding it.
Athea managed to land that decisive blow by breaking the Depravita's defenses using her overwhelming brute strength. She had difficulty regulating her breathing, but there was a confident smile on her face as she was sure Abadon would not be able to heal from that attack.
The Depravita lacked the energy to purge her black-white lightning and much less regenerate the broken organs, which is why Athea was sure of her victory.
Athea made her energy explode one last time, ready to give the finishing blow toward the Depravita, and flashed toward the ground.
Abadon saw the Neo-Demon coming her way. She could not endure another direct clash, but instead of fear, an expression of absolute serenity appeared on her face.
The Depravita clasped her hand before burying them into the ground, channeling what little energy remained in her body along with her blood.
Athea felt her instincts screaming danger just as thousands of sky-blue runes emerged in the ground, unleashing a shocking amount of space-time energy.
'Those runes are too complex and powerful to have engraved them just now. She slowly engraved each of them during our fight!'
The Neo-Demon understood the origin of the runes as the picture of a clock without handles manifested in the ground and space-time around her twisted to such a degree that telling up from down was impossible, with a second feeling like a minute.
Although the bizarre behavior of space-time would have been enough to throw most geniuses into a deadly trap, as a bearer of the Lord of Emptiness Bloodline, Athea's senses were able to adapt extremely fast.
Unfortunately for the Neo-Demon, the space-time prison was just the beginning, and the true power of the spell came when Abadon raised her hands.
"Set the Laws of Space and Time ablaze, and may the Concept of Black Holes twist reality!"
Along with Abadon's words, runes began to glow in the sky before generating a massive black hole.
"Space-Time Gravitational Rift!"
