Chapter 858 A New Thearch Rising To The Sky
The Flame Imperator\'s eyes were cold as he pierced Yami\'s heart, but hidden in them was a wicked viciousness. His white flames were ready to overflow inside her body, and he wanted her last moments of life to be as painful as possible.
Venganza and Lucifer regained control over their bodies less than a second after the Flame Imperator sent them flying away, but it was already too late to help the Heavenly Empress.
Fury burned inside the heart of the Depravita of Revenge and the Champion of Justice and Order as they saw Yami\'s fate. Other than rage, there was also worry, as now that Yami was gone, they did not see a way they could keep fighting against the Flame Imperator.
Throughout their battle, the Flame Imperator recovered from the side-effect of Deceitful Reincarnation, growing much stronger. That is why he could neutralize Venganza and Lucifer and take care of Yami.
Lucifer and Venganza were not the only ones worried, as all the warriors of the Prima Universe shared that concern. Everybody knew that the battle in the sky was the one that would decide the fate of the multiverse, and without Yami, their chances of victory grew almost null.
Although one could say it was insensitive for the Prima Universe\'s warriors to think like that as Yami was about to perish, it was not that odd. Everybody came ready to die, and none had too much of a connection with the woman as she did not really bond with many people.
The one that was the calmest among the entire Prima Universe\'s army was the one that had just lost her heart. Yami\'s eyes showed nothing but serenity as she grabbed the Flame Imperator\'s arm with all her strength and began to smile.
The Flame Imperator\'s eyes narrowed as he felt his instincts screaming danger. He did not understand how that could happen since his Quietus Truth had already sealed Yami\'s energy and soul force, making it impossible for her to counter-attack.
Since Yami came into this battlefield ready to die, she had prepared for an event like this. With her smile, runes emerged over her skin, covering every single cell of her body, even reaching her soul!
The Flame Imperator immediately unleashed a stream of white flames from the fist inside Yami\'s chest, but to his shock, the runes were able to devour that Fourth Realm\'s force as well!
The Incarnation of Death and Destruction was the greatest Runemaster in the Prima Universe. Therefore the Flame Imperator also had superb skill in that field, so he could see that the runes in Yami\'s were at an even higher level than his best work.
Yami felt how the runes devoured her flesh and energy, gathering more and more destructive power, but that was not all. They also began fragmenting her soul before fusing the pieces into her ten mutated Silver Stars of Origin.
Having runes shattering her soul generated an unimaginable pain, but Yami\'s smile did not vanish. She looked down, and her gaze landed on Ezequiel.
"Goodbye, Little Brother."
Those were Yami\'s final words before the runes covering her body reached their zenith and exploded with a power that shattered large sections of the sky!
"BOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!"
Shock waves reached all the way to the ground, sending many powerhouses flying away. It was truly shocking just how mighty those runes were.
Ezequiel\'s eyes did not leave the silver explosion in the sky, even as the backlash finally flared up, making blood leak from every orifice on his face.
Every moment he spent with that little girl with black hair crossed his mind, but it all came back to the moment they met. They had been together for thousands of years, forming a true brotherly bond that surpassed blood, and now she was gone forever.
As Ezequiel\'s mind went through the shock of that tragic loss and his body endured the furious backlash that twisted his inner organs, Ares managed to recover from that last attack.
The Empyrean Primordial was as shocked as everybody by that explosion. Still, the recent brush with death had pushed his instinct and focus to the limit, allowing him to recover faster.
When Ares saw Ezequiel\'s condition, his eyes burst with killing intent as he grabbed his sword with both hands and flashed forward with all his strength. The Supreme Neo-Demon showed an outrageous power, and he could not allow such a genius to remain alive.
Just as Ares initiated his march, the ten mutated Silver Stars of Origin that had absorbed Yami\'s soul fell from the sky, transforming into a pillar of silver energy with golden threads that covered Ezequiel.
The pillar was almost one hundred meters in diameter, and it glowed with such a powerful light that Ares could not see anything that happened inside it. Still, he did not back down as something told him this would be his last chance to end the Supreme Neo-Demon.
"AHHHH!" Ares roared as the blue flames in his sword burst with power, and he entered the silver pillar of energy, vanishing from everybody\'s sight.
The universe\'s shocking events that occurred in the last ten seconds were just too much, even for life forms that had lived for billions of years.
First, the Flame Imperator pierced Yami\'s heart; then, she triggered an explosion that engulfed them. Finally, her Silver Stars of Origin descended from the sky and covered Ezequiel Invictus\'s location.
Two seconds after the runes burst, the Flame Imperator emerged from the explosion. There were not many wounds on his body, but the left arm that had been inside Yami\'s during the blast was mangled.
The Flame Imperator did not bother to hide the rage in his eyes, as even after shattering her heart, the Heavenly Empress still managed to harm him severely.
"You little bit..." The Flame Imperator did not manage to finish his sentence as a fist bathed in a golden aura landed on his face and sent him flying away.
He regained control over his body almost immediately, but an immense shock still assaulted his heart. That punch truly hurt him, a feat only Venganza and Lucifer could achieve, but neither of them was behind that attack.
The thousands of battles in the ground froze for a moment as everybody focused on the new figure in the sky.
Ezequiel resembled a divine entity as a flaming golden aura covered his body. Tears of blood fell from his eyes, and along with that utter sadness, there was a monstrous slaughter intent.
What truly drew the Flame Imperator\'s attention were the ten Suns of Origin around the Supreme Neo-Demon\'s head and how these unleashed the Fourth Realm\'s aura!
