After Seraphina's exhaustion...
The battle had finally reached it's last stage.
The Darkness World continued crumbling bit by bit.
Chunks of reality floated away.
Dimensions cracked.
The skies were split apart.
Everyone...
Except Wei and Blaze.
They stood at the front.
Facing Reina.
Reina looked at them with a serious expression---
Reina:
(Observing them)
"So...you're finally getting serious after all this time."
Wei glanced around the battlefield.
He saw the condition of everyone.
The wounded Emperors.
The exhausted Empress.
The tired survivors.
Wei:
(Calmly)
"Zero, Restu, Everyone."
The looked toward him.
Wei:
(Continued)
"Do you mind leaving this fight to us?"
Restu:
(Eyes widened immediately)
"What?!"
Wei:
(Smiled)
"I know what you're going to say."
He looked toward Seraphina.
Then toward the shattered Darkness World.
Wei:
(Serious)
"But please."
He continued---
Wei:
(Eyes lidded)
"For the sake of my wife, and for the Astral Universe."
Restu:
(Stared at him, sighed)
"You really are stubborn aren't uou?"
He shooked his head--
Restu:
(Tired smile)
"Fine. If you're asking personally... then don't die."
Wei:
(Laughed)
"No promises."
Reina:
(Hands crossed)
"Changing tactics now?"
Blaze:
(Cracked his neck)
"Yeah. Because you're no match for us."
Everyone turned.
Even Reina Blinked.
Blaze:
(Pointed at her)
"And we need enough room to beat you to death."
Reina:
(Laughed)
"You think so?"
Blaze:
(Smirked)
"Be ready."
Zephyr looked toward both of them.
Zephyr:
(Expression softening)
"Win this for us, Master."
Wei looked over his shoulder.
Wei:
(Confident smile)
"I will."
Before leaving...
Wei knelt beside Seraphina.
The battlefield suddenly felt quieter.
He gently held her hand.
Seraphina:
(Softly)
"Sera... I'm going to be okay. Trust me."
Seraphina slowly opened her eyes.
Without hesitation---
She wrapped her arms around him tightly.
As if she never wanted to let go.
Seraphina:
(Quietly)
"I love you, Wei."
Wei Smiled.
Gently resting his forehead against hers.
Wei:
(Smiled)
"I love you too."
He stood up.
Carefully carrying her.
Then walked toward Nox.
Wei:
(Serious)
"Nox."
Nox immediately stepped forward.
Wei:
(Calm)
"Carry my wife for me, will you?:
Nox placed a hand over his chest.
Nox:
(Respectful smile)
"With pleasure, Master."
Suddenly---
Ultimate Zero streched his arm.
A gigantic dimensional gate opened.
Leading directly back to the Astral Universe.
BOOOOOOOOMMM!!!
The portal towered over everyone.
One by one...
The Emperors entered.
The Empresses followed.
Zephr.
Nox carrying Seraphina.
Everyone began leaving.
Ultimate Zero remained behind.
Ready to leave as well.
Then---
Wei:
(Eyes looked towards him)
"Wait, Zero."
Zero stopped.
Without even turning around.
Zero:
(Smirked)
"I knew it.
Continued---
Zero:
(Turned around)
"You'd ask me to stay."
Wei:
(Grinned)
"We need you."
Zero:
(Laughed quietly)
"Of course you do."
The dimensional gate closed.
BOOOOM.
Silence.
Now only four remained.
Wei.
Blaze.
Ultimate Zero.
And...
Reina Amethyra.
Three transcendent entities.
Against one omnipotent god.
The Darkness World trembled beneath their presence..
Reality bent.
Space completely distorted.
Time itself seemed afraid to move.
Reina smiled.
Slowly.
Dangerously.
She raised her head.
Looking directly at the three of them.
Reina:
(Grinning)
"Good."
Her aura expanded.
Reina:
(Serious)
"This is exactly what I wanted."
Continued---
Reina:
(Eyes glowed)
"I'm ready whenever you are."
The battlefield had become silent.
Not peaceful.
Not calm.
A silence that came before complete destruction.
Across the endless shattered realm.
Ultimate Zero stepped forward.
His eyes slowed closed.
Then...
A strange mask began forming over his face.
Dark.
Ancient.
Covered in crimson markings.
His hair began growing longer.
Bright red strands flowed behind him like rivers of fire.
Armor slowed formed over his entire body.
Piece by piece.
Layer by layer.
His aura erupted.
BOOOOOOMMMMMMM!!!
The entire cosmos trembled.
Infinite time-frames shook.
Countless realities trembled under his presence alone.
The air became violent.
Space folded.
Time distorted.
Even distance universes felt his awakening.
Ultimate Zero slowly opened his eyes.
His voice was calm.
Cold.
Absolute.
Zero:
(Calm)
"Silent Endsate."
Wei:
(Eyes widened slightly)
"Dont tell me..."
Reina:
(Looked at him carefully)
"I see...
Continued---
Reina:
(Dangerous smile)
"You've finally mastered Dark Eternity."
Blaze:
(Folded his arms)
"Amazing..."
Zero remained completely silent.
Not a single expression crossed his face.
His aura continued growing.
Then Reina stepped forward.
Her own aura began exploding outward.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM!!!
The Darkness World roared.
Thunder roared.
Lightning struck endlessly.
Realities shattered over and over again.
Reina:
(Raised both arms)
"Then I shall reveal mine as well."
Her body beat changing.
Dark scales Covered her arms.
Then her shoulder.
Then her entire body.
A massive dragon tail emerged.
Ancient draconic horns curved from her head.
Her aura deepened.
Became heavier.
Became older.
Like something from the beginning of time.
Reina:
(Smiled)
"VERMITHOR."
The entire Darkness World trembled.
Even Wei became quiet.
Blaze:
(Smirked)
"Looks like both of them finally stopped holding back."
Nearby...
The remains of Drakkan lay motionless.
Reina glanced toward him from a distance.
Without emotion.
Without regret.
His energy suddenly left his body.
Absorbed into Reina.
Drakkan immediately became paralyzed.
Unable to move.
Unable to resist.
Reina:
(Eyes far glowed)
"I can feel the overflowing power of Drakkan's power."
MEANWHILE--- đâĄď¸ASTRAL UNIVERSE
Meanwhile...
Everyone has returned.
Seraphina rested in the main hall.
Millim and Rinana immediately rushed toward her.
Both began healing her.
Millim:
(Analyzing)
"Careful!"
Rinara:
(Serious)
"Her body is completely exhausted!"
Xerion:
(Expression serious)
"That transformation drained her badly."
Ryder:
(Knelt beside Seraphina)
"Are you alright, my Empress?"
Seraphina:
(Nodded weakly)
"I'll recover..."
Zephr:
(Folded his arms)
"She'll be okay."
He sighed...
Zephyr:
(Continued)
"The problem isn't the power. Her vessel is holding her back."
Thalorien looked away.
Thalorien:
(Visible on his face)
"Hmm... that's really bad..."
BACK IN THE DARKNESS WORLD---
Back on the battlefield...
The pressure continued rising..
Blaze cracked his neck.
Then smiled.
A confident smile.
A dangerous smile.
Blaze:
(Smirked)
"Then I guess it's my turn."
Wei:
(Looked confused)
"Your turn?"
He looked towards Blaze---
Wei:
(Confused)
"I thought Dark Eternity was the peak of your power."
Blaze:
(Laughed)
"You're wrong, Wei."
His eyes glowed.
Golden flames appeared throughout the Darkness World.
Blaze:
(His aura burning)
"Dark Eternity isn't the end."
The entire cosmos suddenly began warming.
Stars burned brighter.
Galaxies glowed.
Every source of heat throughout existence trembled.
Blaze:
(Eyes glowing in fire)
"When every flame..."
His body began to heat up--
Blaze:
(Looked up)
"Every ember..."
The energy of Blaze was burning all countless dimensions in all infinite space-times.
Blaze:
(Touched his hand)
"Every source of heat in existence answers my call..."
His aura erupted.
Brighter.
Hotter.
More violent.
Than before.
Blaze:
(Smiled)
"That's when I obtained the fire of the entire multiverse."
The Darkness World exploded wirh golden flames.
Reality itself began melting.
Blazs slowly raised his hand.
His body started transforming.
Blaze:
(Aura rising)
"Behold..."
The battlefield shook.
Reina's eyes narrowed.
Wei watched silently.
Even Zero turned his head.
Blaze:
(Smoke comes from his mouth)
"INFERNO HEAVEN!"
The Darkness World was on the verge of collapse.
Reality cracked.
Infinite dimensions were disintegrating from the overwhelming heat radiating from Blaze's new forms.
Even Wei couldn't help but stare.
His eyes narrowed.
Wei:
(Impressed, feeling the scorching pressure)
"Amazing.."
He looked around as countless dimensions crumbled.
Wei:
(His body flaring)
"What is this?...The thermal threshold of his power is literally disintegrating infinite space-times just by existing."
Blaze smirked.
Golden flames danced around his body.
Reina's eyes shifted toward Wei.
Reina:
(Small smile appeared)
"And what about you, King of Shadows?"
Wei:
(Raised an eyebrow)
"Hmm?"
Reina:
(Crossed her arms)
"If you're not bringing out anything else... then suit yourself."
Without another word---
Wei.
Blaze.
Ultimate Zero.
All surged forward simultaneously.
BOOOOOM!!!
The shattered Darkness World exploded beneath their feet.
Reina's eyes sharpened.
She looked completely focused.
Three fists.
One target.
CRAAAAASHHHH!!!
All three punches slammed toward Reina.
Reina blocked all of them.
But her expression changed.
The impact was heavy.
Much heavier than before.
BOOOOM!
Another punch.
BOOOM!
Another one.
BOOOM!
Another one.
They traded blows relentlessly.
Left.
Right.
Above.
Behind.
Forward.
Backward.
The four figures flashed throughout the battlefield.
Their speeds became impossible to comprehend.
Time itself bent around their movements.
Reina dodged.
Blocked.
Countered.
Jumped.
Retreated.
Advanced.
The clash continued endlessly.
Finally---
Reina pushed all three away.
BOOOOOOOMMM!!
The slide backward.
Blaze rolled his shoulder.
Blaze:
(Grinned)
"I'm finally getting the hang of this form."
Wei:
(Clicked his tongue)
"Tch..."
Zero:
(Narrowing)
"This won't be easy."
Suddenly---
All Seven Crown Gems emerged.
One by one.
They instantly re-entered Reina.
FLASHED!!!!
Her strength rose.
Her speed rose.
Her endurance rose.
Everything multiplied again.
Blaze:
(Eyes widened)
"Dont give her a chance! Let's go!"
All three leapt into the air.
Wei extended his hand.
Countless spheres manifested around him.
Wei:
(Serious)
"Go.
Thousands of spheres surged toward Reina.
Blaze charged beside them.
His fist ignited.
A dragon-shaped flame wrapped around his arm.
Blaze:
(Serious)
"GOUEN RYUUHA!"
Known as [ Dragon Spark ]
Meanwhile---
Zero raised one finger.
Zero:
(Eyes emotionless)
"Requind Line."
A single line was drawn through the air.
One motion.
One stoke.
Nothing visible was released.
Yet reality itself reacted.
Reina:
(Frowned)
"The hell?"
She looked toward Zero.
Reina:
(Focused)
"What did that fool just released?"
She responded instantly.
Her body ignited.
Molten dragonfire flooded her veins.
The sky turned crimson.
Reina:
(Laughing)
"CINDERFALL ECLIPSE!"
Thousands of magma meters appeared.
Dragonfire erupted from the heavens.
The battlefield became a falling apocalypse.
All Attacks collided.
BOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!
The explosion covered nearly half the Darkness World.
Nothing could be seen.
Smoke.
Fire.
Shockwaves.
Silence.
Then---
Blaze appeared from nowhere.
BANGGGG!!!
His fist crashed into Reina's back.
She was sent flying.
While Reina was airbone---
Ultimate Zero's invisible attack finally connected.
Reqind Line.
The moment it touched Reina---
Her position reset.
Her movement reset.
Everything about her returned 10 seconds backward.
Reina:
(Eyes widened)
"What?!"
As she attempted to recover--
She launched a devastating beam toward them.
But the beam touched Requind Line.
Instantly---
It reset.
Returned to zero.
Vanished.
As if it had never been fired.
Reina crashed onto the ground.
Dust filled the battlefield.
The Seven Gems fully absorbed into her body.
Silence followed.
Blaze:
(Stared into the smoke )
"Did we get her?"
The smoke slowly cleared.
Everyone watched.
Everyone waited.
Then---
Reina stepped forward.
Completely unharmed.
Not a scratch.
Not a single wound.
Not even dust on her clothes.
Zero:
(Eyes widened)
"Impossible..."
The Dragon Empress stood untouched.
Smiling.
Watching.
Waiting.
Wei was visibly annoyed.
For the first time since arriving on the battlefield, his calm expression disappeared.
Without warning---
BOOOOOM!!!
Wei surged forward at full speed.
Space shattered.
Time broke apart behind him.
Entire layers of reality warped just from his acceleration.
Blaze:
(Shouting)
"VOID! WAIT!"
But Wei was already gone.
Blaze clenched his teeth.
Blaze:
(Frustrated)
"Damn it... what triggered him?"
Without hesitation, Blaze launched himself forward as well.
Ultimate Zero followed closely behind.
Zero:
(Thinking)
"That's strange..."
His eyes narrowed.
Zero:
(Serious)
"Could his body be executing movements on pure instinct alone? The Shadow King would never lose conscious control like this..."
Reina watched them approach.
Completely unimpressed.
Reina:
(Coldly)
"Charging headfirst out of emotion? How pathetic..."
Wei appeared directly in front of her.
His fist exploded forward.
BOOOOOOM!!!
A devastating punch.
Reina casually blocked it with her open palm.
The impact shattered countless fragments of space.
As Reina prepared to counterattack---
Wei's body suddenly moved.
On its own.
Far faster than before.
Far faster than Reina expected.
Reina:
(Shocked)
"What?!"
Meanwhile---
Blaze raised both hands.
Infernal flames erupted around him.
Two giant dragon-shaped serpents formed from pure fire.
Blaze:
(Roaring)
"TWIN WYRM MAW!-- GOUEN RYUUHA!"
The dragons screamed across the battlefield---
Reina immediately noticed.
Reina:
(Eyes narrowed)
"Infernyx lancebreath."
She opened her palm.
A concentrated dragon beam erupted forward.
The attack collided directly with Blaze.
BOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!
Blaze barely blocked it in time.
The force sent him skidding across the shattered world.
Reality cracked beneath his feet.
Behind Reina---
Zero suddenly appeared.
Without wasting a second---
He threw a punch.
CRAAASHHH!!!
Reina blocked it using her tail.
The impact echoed throughout the cosmos.
She turned slowly toward him.
Reina:
(Coldly)
"It's meaningless, Zero."
She punched him directly in the chest.
Zero was launched across several dimensional layers.
Meanwhile---
Wei attacked again.
Moving faster.
And faster.
And faster.
Almost instinctively.
Reina:
(Annoyed)
"I need to get rid of you."
Wei:
(Smirked)
"You think so?"
The two collided again.
Their fists met.
The resulting shockwave erased countless regions of the Darkness World.
They became blurs.
Then streaks.
Then concepts.
Their speed transcended movement itself.
Blaze:
(Watched from afar)
"Their speed is so incomprehensible that the flow of time can't even register them... Timelines themselves are becoming completely irrelevant."
Reina launched another punch.
A deadly one.
Yet before it connected---
Wei's body moved automatically again.
Dodging effortlessly.
Wei:
(Eyes widened)
"What the hell is going on?"
Another attack.
His body reacted his thoughts.
Again.
And again.
And again.
Wei:
(Thinking)
"No..."
Then suddenly---
He remembered.
{FLASHBACK---
Inside the Pit of Nine Layers.
Xenon stood with his arms crossed.
Xenon:
(Expression serious)
"There is something you must remember, Wei."
Wei:
(Confused)
"What is it?"
Xenon:
(Serious)
"Once Death Heaven reaches completion... your body will begin moving by itself."
Wei:
(Calm)
"What?"
Xenon:
(Nodded)
"If you take too long to activate it... the form starts calling to you... your instincts... your soul... everything inside you will begin telling you that it's ready."
He continued---
Xenon:
(Serious)
"But be careful.. Death Heaven only last fifty minutes... Use it wisely."
"PRESENT----"
Wei's eyes widened.
Everything finally made sense.
Wei:
(Thinking)
"So that's it..."
Suddenly Wei surged forward again.
His fist smashed toward Reina.
BOOOOM!
Reina blocked.
Then immediately delivered a devastating blow straight across Wei's cheek.
CRAAAAAASHHHH!!!
Wei was launched through the battlefield.
Mountains nearby shattered.
Continents splits.
And as Wei skidded across the endless Darkness World---
His eyes remained fixed on Reina.
A faint smile slowly appeared.
Because now....
He finally understood what his body had been trying to tell him.
The Darkness World was barely holding together.
Infinite cracks streched across reality.
Broken dimensional layers drifted endlessly through the void.
Amidst the chaos stood only two figures resisting the impossible.
Blaze glanced at Zero.
His inferno Heaven flames were flicking slightly.
The strain was becoming visible.
Blaze:
(Breathing heavily, forcing a grint)
"Hey, Zero..."
Zero:
(Eyes on him)
"What is it?"
Blaze:
(Serious)
"With Void ling down for the moment...
He looked toward the distant battlefield where Wei was recovering...
Blaze:
(Calm)
"Lets buy him some time... enough time for him to get back up with his full power."
Zero:
(Narrowed his eyes)
"And your plan?"
Blaze:
(Smirked )
"Simple. I'll throw everything i have. You counter it with your strongest attack. Sounds fair?"
Reina:
(Sighed and arms crossed)
"Whatever you're planning...just know, it's meaningless against a god such as me."
Blaze:
(Laughed)
"We'll see about that."
Suddenly the Inferno Heaven around Blazs erupted.
BOOOOMM!!!
Flames exploded into the sky.
The Darkness World split apart.
Blaze:
(Raising both hands)
"INFERNO WYRMFALL-- GOUEN RYUUHA!"
Countless dimensions shattered.
A crimson dragon emerged from the skies.
A genuine dragon formed entirely from Inferno Heaven.
A dragon roared.
Its body alone filled entire dimensional sectors.
Reina:
(Blinked and laughed)
"Seriously? A dragon?... i can create thousands of those with a single thought."
Blaze:
(Frowned)
"You really despise me, dont you?"
Meanwhile...
Zero stepped forward.
His aura began changing.
Zero:
(Firm)
"DELTA REALA!"
His energy multiplied dramatically.
The battlefield distorted.
The reality was bended.
Blaze:
(Looked at him)
"Really? That's all you've got?"
Zero:
(Annoyed look)
"Stop assuming and watch."
Blaze:
(Sighed)
"Fine-- GO!"
Then---
The crimson dragon opened it's mouth.
A tsunami pf liquid fire erupted.
The flame bent time.
Distorted causality.
Warped space.
Even history trembled before it.
The attack rushed toward Reina.
Reina:
(Calm)
"Wing Barrier."
Her draconic wings unfolded.
Layer after layer.
Dimension after dimension.
Reality stacked itself around her.
A gigantic barrier covered her completely.
BOOOOM!!
The attack landed.
The impact shattered half the battlefield.
Smoke covered everything.
Nothing could be seen.
Then--
Less than two seconds later--
A gigantic sphere of lightning broke through the smoke.
Rushing directly toward Blaze and Zero.
Blaze;
(Staggered)
"WHAT?!"
Zero snapped his fingers.
SNAP.
The sphere immediately reverted.
Its charge vanished.
It's creation vanished.
It's existence reset.
Returning it to zero.
Blaze:
(Stared)
"She survived all that?!"
Reina:
(Voice echoed throughout the battlefield)
"Still meaningless, mortals."
The smoke vanished.
Reina stood completely unharmed.
Then suddenlyâ
She spread her arms.
The Darkness World shook violently.
Reina:
(Calm)
"ECLIPSE INCINEROAR!"
A Massive sphere began forming.
Larger.
Larger.
Larger.
Until it covered almost the entire Darkness World.
Zero:
(Widened)
"No way..."
Reina:
(Smiled)
"Take this."
The sphere expanded further.
Reina:
(Laughing)
"The sole purpose of this attack is total eradication. One blast eats away infinite space-times, reducing even the infinite continuum of time itself to nothing."
Blaze:
(Looked at Zero)
"No time to waste! Throw everything you've got!"
Zero:
(Clicked his tongue)
"Tch..."
Then stepped forward.
Zero:
(Eyes locked)
"BABYLON INFINITE FIELD!"
A massive circular domain spread outward.
Reality transformed.
A gigantic barrier formed around both warriors.
The incoming attack slowed.
Bit by bit.
The barrier was forcing it to stall.
Blaze:
(Smiled)
"Good enough."
His aura exploded too--
Blaze:
(Smirked)
"KARMA DRAGON DOMAIN!-- GOUEN RYUUHA!"
Five colossal fire dragons erupted from beneath the battlefield.
The dragons charged into the incoming sphere.
Trying desperately to hold it back.
Then Blaze transformed again.
Magma covered his body.
Layer after layer.
Blaze:
(Firm)
"STAGE TWO!"
His armor hardened.
Blaze:
(Calm)
"MAGMA COATING-- KAGUTSUCHI NO REKKA!"
His fists clenched.
Then he slammed his foot downward.
BOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!!!!
Massive fissures tore through the battlefield.
Rivers of magma erupted.
Ten enormous flame formations emerged around him.
Blaze's breathing became heavier.
His Inferno Heaven timer kept dropping.
10 minutes remaining.
Thenâ
The attack landed.
Reality folded.
Like paper.
Continents disappeared.
Infinite landscapes vanished.
Dimensional layers shattered.
Entire sections of existence broke apart.
When everything finally settledâ
The giant sphere was gone.
The barrier was gone.
Everything had been erased.
Silence.
Reina watched the aftermath.
Reina:
(Dangerous smile)
"Very good, mortals."
She slowly raised another hand.
A second sphere immediately began forming.
Even larger.
Even darker.
Blaze froze.
Ultimate Zero froze.
Reina:
(Laughed)
"However.."
Her smile widened---
Reina:
(Serious face with a smirk)
"Can you tank the second one?"
Blaze & Zero:
(Shocked)
"WHAT?!!!"
The second Eclipse Incineroar surged across the Darkness World.
It swallowed everything in its path.
Dimensions.
Space.
Time.
Reality itself was being consumed.
Blaze:
(Exhaustion)
"Damn it..."
Ultimate Zero narrowed his eyes.
For the first time, neither of them moved.
The attack was simply too large.
Too overwhelming.
Reina:
(Smiled above)
"This is the end. Perish alongside your hope."
The sphere descended.
Closer.
Closer.
Closer.
Until suddenly---
It stopped.
Completely.
Silence filled the battlefield.
The gigantic attack froze in place.
Not because it was blocked.
Not because it was redirected.
It simply...
Stopped existing.
The attack began fading.
Breaking apart.
Vanishing.
Returning to nothing.
Blaze:
(Eyes widened)
"Amazing... the attack didn't explode... it didn't get redirected... it simply vanished into nothingness..."
Standing before the attack was a lone figure.
Long black hair flowed behind him.
A dark cloth wrapped around his waist.
The air around him was unnaturally silent.
No aura could be sensed.
No energy could be measured.
No presence could be detected.
Yet somehow...
He felt heavier than existence itself.
" Wei Abyss Ling "
The completed wielder of..
" DEATH HEAVEN "
Zero:
(Impressed)
"So this is the form... Death Heaven..."
Reina looked at Wei carefully.
For the first time in a long while...
She wasn't smiling.
She was analyzing.
Studying.
Watching.
Reina:
(Smirked)
"So... This is the Death Heaven taught by the Ling family... I must admit... it truly lives up to its name."
Wei:
(Voice deepened)
"You think so?"
Reina:
(Dangerous smile)
"Let's find out."
Nearby...
Blaze's body suddenly flickered.
The flames around him disappeared.
Inferno Heaven had finally ended.
His transformation dispersed completely.
Blaze sighed.
Then smiled.
Blaze:
(Smiled)
"Looks like my time is up."
His body returned to normal.
Back to his base form.
Zero:
(Glanced between the two)
"So this is it..."
He looked toward Wei.
Then toward Reina.
The King of Shadows.
Against the Omnipotent God.
Two beings standing at the peak.
The Darkness World trembled.
The final battle was about to begin.
And even Ultimate Zero didn't know who would emerge victorious.
