Now then, they both rushed toward each other. Immediately, they clashed. Denzan used his void powers to create a black hole, but Vultra did the same—their attacks counteracted one another. Then they disbursed, releasing shockwaves that threw many soldiers away. Denzan used his eyes to create a black hole next to Vultra, but Vultra smirked. He phased in and out of existence, simply walking through the black hole. Then he closed one eye as he said, "Air blades." Instantly, where Denzan was, the air became a weapon, moving at insane speeds and acting like blades.
Landing a cut on Vultra, Denzan moved back a bit, but the air followed him around. Vultra said, "I've learned a lot, and my old powers are back. So don't joke around. Let's use our full powers."
Denzan said, "No. Unlike you, I show concern for my forces."
"Is that so?" Vultra said. Then instantly, the space and their dimension changed to a different one—a barren landscape with a volcanic terrain. Lava was all around them.
"Now then," Vultra said, "why don't we show our full powers?"
Denzan said, "Be careful what you wish for. But I won't show you my true powers. I will show you a glimpse of what my true power is."
He unleashed his aura. The terrain crystallized, then faded out of existence.
He said, "Do you know why I am a threat to the gods? And why they locked me away? It is because I have the powers of creation and destruction. And I am destruction itself. Anything I touch—I decide its fate. Now let me show you what true destruction feels like."
His armor now turned white and black, while his eyes turned white and black. His right eye turned completely white, while his left eye turned completely black.
Vultra smirked. "Now you are showing me your true powers. Why don't I show you what I can do?"
As he unleashed his powers, the supposedly faded dimension instantly replenished. Vultra's eyes were now blood-red, and the dimension turned red. Vultra and Denzan waited for a moment—then they charged.
Denzan, now moving at insane speeds, destroyed everything around him, fading them out of existence, while Vultra's blood trails followed him around. They clashed, fists to fists. Their aura now turned into forms.
Denzan's aura showed the yin and yang symbol in its true power, and it showed a void man controlling it. For Vultra, it showed a werewolf with chains, and his weapon was a blade completely engraved with blood and void aura. The aura completely covered the blade. The auras clashed, while inside the auras, Vultra and Denzan turned to hand-to-hand combat.
Denzan threw a punch. Vultra blocked it. He then returned the attack with a throwback kick. Denzan gave some distance. He then moved at undiscoverable speeds, charging his fists, while Vultra flew very high. He then did a leap of fate. Now spinning at unimaginable speeds, he became a drill bit, commanding the air to do his bidding and also controlling lightning to form a vortex with a pointed end. The vortex changed color to a night black with a pinch of purple, while the lightning's color was gold.
Denzan then changed his course, moving upwards into the sky, trying to intercept Vultra, but Vultra accelerated even more. Immediately, they clashed. The dimension shattered—then disintegrated out of existence.
Meanwhile, the gods felt their power on the battlefield. Shockwaves were so strong they disintegrated warriors who weren't strong enough from both sides. In the clash, they both persisted to see who was stronger. Denzan was pushed to the brink. Then he unleashed 30 percent of his powers. The entire area—time flow—stopped completely.
Vultra noticed it. He instantly increased his powers. Denzan materialized his void greatsword, using his other hand to swing it. Vultra dodged it in a matrix-style theme, then flipped while materializing his scythe, performing a swing which clashed. But this time, Vultra threw something. Denzan didn't notice it in time. Then Vultra pulled away, gaining some distance.
He then said, "I'll be the one who escorts you personally to hell, where you belong." He detonated it, instantly erasing the spot and the whole area. Vultra flared up his aura as he created a shield that stopped him from being erased.
The scene now shifts to the war. In the midst of the battle, there were generals fighting, but there was a peculiar one among them—his powers were the closest to Denzan's. He was fighting the first general. He then unleashed his aura, absorbing everything around him.
The first general now rushed toward him, increasing his speed to counteract the Denzan general's aura-absorbing power. He then took all the soldiers from the area—both good and bad ones. He moved toward him, spearing his ass out, destroying the aura and knocking him out cold.
The scene now shifts to another general battle. They were using their weapons. The second general of Vultra used a long katana, while the second general of Denzan used a shield, taking every hit. The general of Vultra, now angry, ran his hand over the katana, giving it his blood. The katana now turned into a monster, then changed its form to a human.
Now the general of Vultra said, turning into a werewolf beast form—they both rushed at Denzan's second general. Performing a move that created a giant moon, it turned red as the general said, "Blood Moon: Berserk Mode!" All the warriors of Denzan howled in unison, turning into their full werewolf beast form as they regained 200 percent of their strength and skills.
He and his humanoid katana rushed toward Denzan's second general. They combined together, fusing—where the humanoid katana had beast features and glowing blood-red eyes—while Denzan's general prepared his void control, using the stars of the universe to his bidding, turning them into a spear.
The general then used his powers to shield the whole universe. They both shouted, "Die!" as they launched their full arsenal.
The scene now shifts to the other generals, who see what happened as a cue to unleash their powers and strike the finishing move. They all unleashed their powers. Shockwaves and an overload of aura were everywhere. The whole area crumbled under the might of their powers.
The scene shifts to Leo meditating. He thought, Denzan isn't showing his true powers… we might have to use that move to end this. But it's not time yet.
The scene now shifts to the battle between Vultra and Denzan. Vultra stopped, letting his guard down, thinking Denzan was destroyed. But in that moment, Vultra saw his body falling. He said, "Is my head… separated?" He now looked—he then saw Denzan holding a curved katana. He looked at him. His body turned to complete darkness.
Vultra couldn't believe his eyes. "So… that didn't do it, huh?" he said. Then he regenerated before saying, "Then I'll show you!"
He unleashed his aura. The whole battlefield paused.
The scene shifts to Denzan. "You made me use 40 percent of my powers. What a drag. I guess I'll just slice you up again."
Vultra said, "Enough of me joking around." He materialized twin katanas.
"Now then… why don't we continue from where we stopped?"
They both rushed at each other, landing cuts on themselves. They both fought until they were exhausted—each of them wearing the other out. But immediately after they wore out, they restored themselves and continued the battle. They didn't notice it earlier, but the universe was slowly collapsing, and the gods took notice of it. Other gods also took notice of the recent prolonged flare of powers.
A certain multiversal god took notice… and he wasn't going to do anything about it.
Or will he?
The scene shifts back to Denzan and Vultra. Vultra was barely standing, holding on to his katana, while Denzan was on his knees, battered and covered in blood and injuries. They both regenerated and restored themselves.
"Denzan, you are stronger than all the gods combined, and I know that even you are near your limits," Vultra said.
"You are also near your limits," Denzan replied, "but why don't we clash one last time? Let's finish this."
"Alright."
They prepared themselves, then they zoomed at each other one last time.
The scene shifts to Leo, tired. He then teleported to the planet to see what the humans were doing. He saw the human forces just chilling, cooking amazing foods, and having fun.
Leo got 😡💢 as he said, "We are in the battle working our ass off, getting slaughtered for them… I think they need to feel our pain."
He then communicated with the soldiers, telling them to teleport some of the humans to the battlefield. The soldier agreed as Leo ended the transmission.
The humans now felt something approaching them. Then they saw swarms of soldiers coming toward them from space. Leo smiled as he teleported to his usual position, now looking at himself.
The war is at its peak and it will soon come to an end. Which power is Leo and Vultra hiding, and which powers is Denzan hiding?
It will be revealed in the next chapter.
Till then, stay tuned.
