Chapter 482 - Danger
Ezequiel's aura skyrocketed once he activated the Astral Destroyer Godslayer Mantle and fused with Sanctus Bestia Entropy. The Supreme Neo-Demon's battle power now equaled that of Hirko's!
The ability of his eyes to pierce into the Flawed Universe grew more potent as well, and he focused on a particular point in the Titan's upper back.
He bent his knees, and his muscles enlarged as a monstrous amount of physical power gathered in his legs.
"CRAC!"
"¡BOOM!"
The geniuses heard two sounds while Ezequiel's figure blasted forward with immense speed and momentum.
One came from the space that Ezequiel kicked, which was now full of red cracks. The Supreme Neo-Demon shattered spacetime and reverted it to Astral Qi, creating a solid surface capable of resisting his jump.
And the second was the sonic boom that Ezequiel created as he moved at velocity more than one hundred times the speed of sound.
Hirko's instincts screamed danger as he flew through the sky. Although it harmed him and made his insides tremble with pain, he managed to stop his movements and regain control over his body.
The Titan did that just in time to see Ezequiel about to reach him, and his eyes widened when he understood the immense speed his enemy achieved.
Before, when he threw Ezequiel to the ground, their distances were around the same, but it took him almost a minute to reach him, and even if the World Strength's Incarnation had not interfered, he would have needed five seconds.
On the other hand, Ezequiel managed to cover that distance between them in less than half a second.
Hirko did not hesitate before fully activating the Phantom Disruption Body and attacking.
Everybody was sure a colossal clash would occur between the two, but just as they were about to collide, Ezequiel kicked to the side, altering his path.
The next thing the Titan heard was the sound of cracks, and then a devastating kick landed on his back, making his bones snap and sending him to the ground.
Awe and disbelief invaded Hirko's heart as he fell from the sky, and the same thing occurred with many geniuses looking at the battle.
Ezequiel managed to change his course more than four times in an instant while maintaining that monstrous speed. Disregarding the martial skill needed, which was almost impossible to reach, a Rank 5 life form could not achieve the speed of thought necessary for that type of feat.
Once again, the Supreme Neo-Demon displayed his uniqueness. Primordial Entropy Lightning and Lightning Essence allowed his body and mind to act at the same speed. The Immortal Avatar True Doomsday Body enhanced his already mighty consciousness and speed of thought by a factor of six.
Of course, all that would have been useless if the Supreme Neo-Demon had not achieved a granular state of control over every part of his body.
The Titan had not touched the ground when the sound of cracks appeared again, and before he could do anything, a punch that almost pierced his chest landed and sent him back to the sky.
Now that their battle powers were the same, Ezequiel's superior martial skills could finally show their true might. The Supreme Neo-Demon made hundreds of jumps in the sky, moving his body from one position to another, making it impossible for the Titan to deduce where the next attack would come.
Hirko became a punching bag, as he was struck from dozens of directions every second. The Impervious Mantle that should resist Hollow Sun Domain's attacks was full of cracks due to the Supreme Neo-Demon hitting its flaws repeatedly.
After one full minute, where Ezequiel punched him more than one thousand times, Hirko felt a kick so powerful that it shattered his spine!
The Titan's body flew up while throwing up blood, and the immense amount of white lightning invading his nervous system paralyzed him.
Hirko could only see as Ezequiel appeared above him and grabbed his head, almost separating it from the rest of his body due to the inertia.
Ezequiel's empty eyes stared into Hirko's, making the Titan's heart tremble with fear as he felt himself in the presence of a superior being.
Without a word, Ezequiel began to repeatedly kick Astral Qi surfaces, pushing him and the Titan to the ground. Their speed grew higher and higher, and the friction made flames cover them both.
The Titan attempted to make his body intangible to free himself from the Supreme Neo-Demon's grip. However, a soul invasion force affected his mind, stopping him from activating the Phantom Disruption Body.
In a moment, they covered more than one thousand kilometers and crashed into the ground with enormous momentum.
"¡BOOOOOOM MMMMM!"
An explosion that could spread over a small continent occurred when the duo clashed with the ground, and the destructive power was so great that the entire landmass would have collapsed.
That cataclysmic explosion was the last sight the sea of stars obtained before being expelled from the Arena. Everybody understood what happened. The battle was over.
Outside of the giant black square, two figures appeared. Both were intact, and no sign of damage of any kind could be seen in them, a testament of the Primarchs' power.
A nasty expression appeared on the Titans' faces while the Magi group smiled. As for the geniuses seeing them from afar, although they still felt a certain level of hostility toward Ezequiel due to his bloodline, they also showed deference.
The powerful deserve respect, no matter if they are good or evil. You can hate a powerful enemy, but you can never disrespect them!
Ezequiel did not care if the geniuses hated him, and the same went for their respect. The opinions of strangers meant nothing as his will already reached a transcendent level. Right now, his entire focus was on analyzing the battle he just experienced and seeing the ways he could improve.
"It seems that we must use our full power even when we fight against Rank 5 life forms," Zatiel spoke to Ezequiel with a stern expression.
The level of danger of the Prima-Eldritch Universe Final Battlefield was dozens if not hundreds of times greater than Abyss and Baator.
"Yes, Master, if it wasn't for the Titan's flawed battle style, I may have lost, or in the best case, obtained a pyrrhic victory."
In a battlefield filled with enemies with trump cards and powers above their cultivation levels, any mistake could cost them their lives. If they used the Titan as a baseline for their future opponents, this journey would be dangerous.
