Chapter 730: Venganza vs Zurtur (II)
Standing outside the Prima-Eldritch Universe Final Battlefield were Issac and Salomon. The duo monitored the situation beneath them and ensured everything went according to plan.
The Prima Universe suffered significant losses after that blast that leveled the Void Ring, but it also gave them an opportunity. Now that no Eldritch emerged from the Final Gate anymore, the Rank 8 life forms formed a blockade, stopping those in the Earth and Sky Gate from returning to their universe.
That was just the start. After the Magus and Immortal stopped the Eldritch from escaping, they sent waves after waves of geniuses into the battlefield Earth Ring and Sky Ring.
Issac and Salomon knew that every time an Eldritch devoured someone, their True Selves would send part of that energy to the Eldritch Universe. Therefore, they planned to send such an overwhelming force that it would not be a fight but a massacre.
Geniuses from all parts of the Prima Universe marched into the battlefield in groups. They would hunt down Eldritch and kill them, making sure to erase the True Selves.
The Magus Primarch and Immortal Primarch smiled as they saw how the number of Eldritch diminished at an impressive speed. They executed this mission a few decades after the Flame Imperator and Venganza returned triumphant from the Eldritch Universe.
Obtaining complete control over the Prima-Eldritch Universe Final Battlefield had been a dream of Issac and Salomon from the moment the Great Old Ones acted and forced the creation of a Crystal Wall over the super universe.
None of them thought that the day would come, but now that the Eldritch Universe had suffered so much damage that it could not send warriors into the Void Ring, the Prima Universe could finally regain full control of the battlefield.
The treasures inside the battlefield could allow hundreds of geniuses to evolve to Rank 9 and the power of the Prima Universe to rise to a whole new level.
Suddenly, Issac and Salomon’s eyes narrowed, and they looked toward the distance.
Archdevils were not the only ones that kept an eye on the state of Baator. Of course, the Magus and Immortal Primarch would keep an eye on the Evil Planes, especially with someone like the Champion of Chaos hiding in the 666th Layer.
The duo saw a man less than four meters tall fighting a giant creature made of lava whose body could rival a moon. Despite the immense differences in their heights, the Archdevil was the one in a miserable condition.
Venganza and Zurtur’s battle power were around the same. Still, the Depravita’s dark flames were capable of incredible destructive power and had a corrosive effect that rotted flesh, energy, and soul.
Zurtur’s attack could harm Venganza to a certain extent once an Omega Law enhanced them, but the Depravita’s regeneration abilities were incredibly potent and fast. So, as the fight carried on, one side accumulated wounds that worsened over time, while the other could instantly heal from any non-lethal injury.
“He already has the power to kill Rank 9 life forms.” Issac could not help but feel shocked at the battle prowess Venganza displayed.
“Yes, but I don’t understand why he marched into Baator?” Salomon could not figure out Venganza’s goal.
If the one in control were Zatiel Daybreak, then it would make perfect sense for him to want to weaken the power of the Evil Planes to protect the Prima Universe’s life form, but that was not something that mattered to a Depravita. Not to mention that the danger Baator posed right now was not something that worried the Magus Primarch or Immortal Primarch.
Issac and Solomon were still recovering from their wounds, and due to them not having control over World Strength, if they entered Avernus, the Plane Consciousness would reduce their power. Still, they were Extreme Rank 9, and their strength was more than enough to kill the weakened Archdevils.
However, the duo did not consider it worthy as that would force them to spend more time recovering, and the Archdevils would just return in a few hundred years.
Although Salomon and Issac did not understand what happened, nor would they interfere with the battle in Baator, they kept their focus on it.
Venganza and Zurtur moved faster than light in Avernus’ sky as they exchanged strikes.
A rain of giant spears made of lava fell on Venganza, but this one dodged them all before appearing next to the Archdevil and waving his lightsabers.
“AHHHH!” Zurtur could not help but scream in pain as the lightsabers severed his right arm.
That was the beginning of the end for the Rank 9 Archdevil. Venganza strikes began to cut pieces off him until he fell to the ground with no strength left.
Rage and hatred burned in Zurtur’s eyes as he stared at the Depravita, but there was not much fear. Losing his body again would make his recovery much harder, but he would still return.
Venganza could figure out the thoughts in the Archdevil’s mind, and a cold smile appeared on his face as he touched this one’s head.
“You are too naive to think you are safe by just fusing your True Soul with Avernus’ origin. I can easily return it to your body just like I did with some Rank 8 Archdevils a few hundred years ago.”
Zurtur’s eyes widened, and terror appeared on his face as he heard that and remembered the Archdevils that appeared in the Chaos-Order Unity Formation. The idea of self-destruction crossed his mind, but Venganza had already sealed all his center of power.
“Don’t worry. I won’t bring you True Soul out of Avernus’ origin.”
Venganza’s words did not reassure Zurtur at all. They only made his fear grow stronger, as he was sure something worse would happen.
And the Depravita’s following words proved that the Archdevil was right.
“Instead of bringing your True Soul to me, I will go to it!” Venganza’s Depravita Aura exploded as he used the power of Karmic Samsara in the Archdevil. His eyes lost their light, and all the power in his body vanished.
