Chapter 704: The First Layer
Venganza’s body trembled as he performed his Second Ignition. Now that the Concept of Sloth modified his liver, immense amounts of vitality and energy would gather in his blood whenever he was out of a fight, which he could use to enhance his battle power for a short time exponentially.
The enhancement in physical might the first Astral Black Hole could not improve his body, which was already as strong as that of a Rank 8 life form, but the second made Vengaza feel his flesh and blood improving.
Neo-Demons need several weeks, if not months, to get used to that improvement and let the Astral Origin achieve a balance. Nevertheless, Venganza was different. Thanks to his constantly mutating Depravita’s physiology, he did not need to rest after performing an ignition.
Venganza’s smile only grew wider as he felt his body improving, and again his eyes landed on the Imperial Depravitas. There were two that would work perfectly for the Astral Black Hole in his lungs, Envidia and Ira.
The Imperial Depravita both trembled, but unlike Envidia, Ira soon got control over its emotions, and wrath overflowed its eyes.
Venganza showed a little surprise as he saw Ira’s composure. Depravitas could only bow to those superior, but it seemed that the Concept of Wrath did not fall behind the Concept of Revenge.
“Not bad, not bad at all.” Venganza noded to Ira before turning toward Envia and making his right eye glow.
The Imperial Depravita that had harmonized with the Concept of Envy showed utter terror as it vanished. It was stronger than Gula and much stronger than Pereza, but there was nothing it could do to stop Venganza from using its existence to ignite the third Astral Black Hole.
The First and Second Ignitions did not significantly improve Venganza’s physical might, but the third one was different. After all, three Astral Black Holes are as mighty as three Silvers Stars of Origin!
Venganza took a deep breath and used the Concept of Envy’s mimic force to change something about his constitution. He had a plasma wheel on his back with a red sun in its center that emerged after Zatiel’s evolution into Rank 7 through the True Doomsday Body Path of Power.
There was a tremendous amount of yang energy in it, but as Depravita, not only did Venganza not feel comfortable with that positive force, but he could not fully use its power.
That is why he used the power of mimicry to copy a force of the Prima Universe and change the nature of his Absolute Solar Yang True Doomsday Body. Those yang runes engraved in every cell changed to their antithesis.
Yin runes flowed through Vengaza’s body, and the red sun on his back became blue. Although he no longer enjoyed the hardness and weight provided by the yang runes, all of his physical strikes now carry a spirit attack.
It was then that the Depravita made his aura explode and let everybody feel how high his battle power grew.
No matter if their goal was to kill or protect Zatiel, everybody was in utter disbelief by what they just felt. Venganza’s aura jumped all the way to Peak Rank 8, and then it managed to cross into Rank 9!
The higher the Rank, the harder it is to jump levels in battle power. Zatiel might be the greatest genius of all times, but the fact he could achieve Rank 9 battle power while neither his True Soul Path of Power or True Doomsday Body Path of Power were at Rank 8 was something that left everybody in utter disbelief.
“This power is enough.”
Vengaza’s words confused those that heard them. It was clear that the Depravita’s goal was to obtain revenge, but while he achieved a monstrous level, he could not even protect himself from an Evil Primarch, much less harm the King in Yellow who had returned to the Eldritch Universe.
Venganza did not care about anyone present and would not waste his time solving their doubts. His right eye glowed, teleporting the living Rank 8 Depravitas into Eternal Nightmare.
Unlike the Rank 7 Depravitas, Vengaza sealed those at Rank 8 in the lowest layer. Their battle could harm Eternal Nightmare, so he did not allow it.
Now that Vengaza had finished with his preparations, he proceeded to activate the final effect of the Chaos-Order Unity Formation.
All those powerhouses fighting around the Styx River had sealed space a long time ago, and even if not, the destruction in the law matrix made teleportation virtually impossible.
Luckily, using the power of Space-Time gathered from the Prima Universe’s Principal Laws, the Chaos-Order Unity Formation managed to teleport Venganza away.
En and Chrollo immediately located Venganza and saw how this one appeared inside the Neo-Demon Realm.
Millions of Neo-Demon rose from their worlds when Vengaza appeared inside the realm. Heinz, Dante, Zitra, and the rest of the Sky Breakers were at the lead.
Venganza stared at the approaching Neo-Demons, but his eyes remained indifferent and aloof. He did not wait for them to get close before teleporting again.
Hades was the only one that could follow Vengaza’s movements. Thanks to his connection with the NRAI, he saw how the Depravita reached the Final Purgatory and began to ascend.
Unlike the first time Zatiel reached the Final Purgatory, where he had to use the NRAI to protect his soul from the aura of the statues, Venganza rose through the layers without a problem.
Even the pressure generated by those gargantuan monsters in the Third Layers could do nothing to the Depravita.
The Champion of Justice and Order saw the Depravita arrive and could not help but sigh.
At first, the Champion of Justice and Order believed that Vengaza came to the Final Purgatory for him, to punish him for his failure. But shock appeared on his face as he saw the Depravita acting on the ceiling of the Second Layer, which was also the entrance to the First Layer!
The Champion of Justice and Order panicked as he remembered the aura of the creature in the First Layer of the Final Purgatory.
“Wait. We can find another way. There is no need to go to such extremes.”
Only when he heard those words did Vengaza bother to look at the Champion of Justice and Order.
“I am Venganza, and I will fulfill the purpose of my existence.”
Venganza said nothing else as the violet seals left in him by En were activated. He then generated a portal in the ceiling, flashing through it and closing it immediately.
The next moment, the Final Purgatory began to tremble with so much force that cracks appeared in it. Things did not end there as shock waves emerged from the pyramid, making the White Sun and the entire Neo-Demon tremble.
Luckily for the Neo-Demons, those shock waves vanished before they could cause real damage.
En, the Nine Empyrean Primordials, Justice Primarchs, Evil Primarchs, and even the Champion of Chaos focused on the Neo-Demon Realm, wondering what was happening.
“CRACK!”
The sound of breaking glass alerted everybody, and they looked up only to see cracks in space that extended for countless light-years.
The cracks did not last long, as soon space collapsed. The first thing that arrived was an aura capable of sundering the universe, and then the warriors of the Prima and Alpha Universes saw a man with red eyes bathed in flaming shadows descend.
The Incarnation of Death and Destruction had awakened.
