Chapter 250: Control
At the Multiverse Void was in...
The nearby universes began to collapse. Across dimensions, beings could feel massive spatial storms and imploding black holes. Chaos erupted everywhere, but the worst of it centered on the galaxy no, the universe Void and the Angel were in.
It was as if an enormous hand was pressing down from the heavens. Powerhouses everywhere trembled not just in awe, but in fear.
And at the very core of it all, the pressure was crushing.
On the planet where Void and the Angel clashed, the air was thick, heavy like divine judgment. Even the High Realm Rank 3 Archangel looked stunned.
The aura radiating from Void made his heart skip a beat.
"What is this…? Is this what they call a Primordial Demon Body?" the Angel wondered, shaken.
Despite his fear, he clenched his jaw and said aloud,
"Even if you get stronger, I'll still win."
No one knew if he was trying to convince Void or himself.
Void scoffed. His sword shimmered, glowing red with a blinding aura.
He stretched out his hand.
BOOM.
CRACK.
His palm clamped around the angel's head, lifting him like a rag doll. The Archangel barely registered what had happened before..
"AAARGH!" he screamed, agony exploding through his skull.
In a desperate move, the angel slashed at Void's torso.
CLANG!
Their swords clashed in defense.
BOOM!
Void was sent flying. The angel crashed to the ground. Their swords were thrown from their hands, landing hundreds of meters away.
"Hand-to-hand, then?" Void grinned, walking forward.
The Angel's bloodshot eyes narrowed.
At Rank 3, beings rarely fought like this fists and feet were beneath them. They were true powerhouses, beings of law and destruction. No matter where they walked, they commanded respect and fear.
Yet here he was this high-ranked angel nearly having his head crushed in a brawl.
"How dare you…" the angel growled, his wings unfurling with divine radiance.
Void's own dark wings spread open as he stepped forward. He towered nearly four meters tall. The angel matched his height seconds later, energy radiating from his form.
Four crimson eyes met two blazing divine ones.
BOOM!
Their fists collided. The planet shook beneath them, teetering on the edge of collapse, but holding strong ....for now.
They both stepped back.
The angel threw a knee. Void sidestepped, pushing it aside and countering with a leg whip. The angel's wings flared, blocking just in time.
PAOW!
A thunderclap echoed. They froze locked in a tense standoff.
But their battle had evolved.
Each move was now precise, calculated, honed to kill not like before when energy spilled out wildly, devastating their surroundings.
Their fight resembled the legendary duel between Darkseid and Sun Wukong. Each attack focused entirely on the opponent. The rest of the world, for now, was spared.
"I don't know what you unlocked," the angel said, breathing hard, "but you're not High Realm Rank 3. You'll never match me."
His back clashed against Void's kicks. Their limbs met again and again.
"Should I call you pathetic... or stupid?" Void sneered.
BOOM!
The angel's wings overpowered Void's strike, sending him flipping backward.
The angel didn't waste time. He threw a punch skyward, meeting Void's descending form.
Void's demon foot met the angel's fist.
Everything paused.
Gravity froze.
Void used the momentum to circle behind the angel.
Reacting quickly, the angel threw a kick, but Void blocked with both arms.
His legs dug deep into the ground from the force.
The moment he dropped his guard, he saw it a massive fist incoming.
He sidestepped just in time. Air bent around the strike, forming a long crater over a kilometer deep cutting through the forest behind them.
Void grinned.
Sure, they could destroy the planet but both had decided to limit their destruction to each other's bodies.
*************
Meanwhile, elsewhere on the planet...
The powerhouses of this evolving Earth watched in silent terror.
This was no ordinary planet it was undergoing awakening. Plants, animals, even humans were changing. Warriors now walked the earth, and at the pinnacle stood King Realm warriors, capable of destroying mountains.
But today… they felt something else.
Something terrifying.
They rushed to the source and found it.
Two beings like living myths clashed above . Every move was fatal. The crater left by the angel's strike alone sent chills down their spines.
"What are they? Monsters beyond King Realm?" one gasped.
"Definitely." another replied.
Even enemies had ceased fighting to witness this divine clash.
Among the gathered was Shera, humanity's top genius. She was a Peak King Realm warrior and the only known person to awaken an ancient War God bloodline.
According to Earth's scientists, this planet was once a realm of terrifying power. But war destroyed its origin, causing it to degrade over time. Now, the energy was returning. Bloodlines were awakening. Beasts of myth were rising.
And these two beings… might be proof of it.
Shera narrowed her gaze.
Unlike the monsters of the Forbidden Sea or Grey Death Forest, these two were humanoid with wings.
Their power was terrifying. It rivaled the monsters that ruled the world's deadliest places.
"Miss Shera… what are they?"
Beside her stood a handsome young man, Meka, the heir to one of the strongest families on Earth and a Peak King Realm warrior. He'd long pursued Shera as a potential bride.
Shera didn't answer right away. How could she?
Even the second strongest human didn't know how could she?
"I don't know," she finally said. "But if we keep watching... maybe we'll find out. Maybe we'll see a path to the Emperor Realm."
**************
Seeing Void dodge his attack, the angel struck with his elbow only for Void's palm to meet it.
Boom!
Both figures were thrown back in opposite directions. They landed firmly, bodies upright, eyes locked in deadly focus.
Boom!
The fight resumed fierce, brutal, hand-to-hand. Every strike now held true intent. Every move was lethal.
Boom.
Doom.
Dom.
These weren't planets shattering or galaxies exploding , this was the raw sound of flesh colliding with flesh. Fists hammered torsos. Knees slammed into faces. Wings blocked devastating blows.
Boom!
A crushing punch slammed into Void's face. In response, his tail lashed out, coiling around one of the angel's arms. With a sudden pull, Void launched himself forward his head crashing into the angel's skull.
"Aagh!"
The angel growled, staggering.
"You barbaric... demon!"
