Chapter 625 - Chrollo (III)
Issac was going all out, but he could not keep the Alpha Universe Primordial from getting closer to Zatiel. He did not understand how that man managed to counter the Universe Will's pressure.
Others may not see it, but the Magus Primarch detected the shocking pressure that brought the might of the Prima Universe down on the Alpha Universe Primordial, but this one carried on like it was nothing.
If facing the Universe Will was simple, there was no way the Flame Imperator would have settled with just a tiny portion of the Prima Universe after securing the portal. There were just too many questions and not enough time to solve them.
Zatiel was doing his best as he used Void Universe and Void Teleportation as fast as he could, even burning his life force and soul force to gain an extra edge. Still, the Alpha Universe Primordial just kept getting closer.
Luckily, before things grew direr for the Neo-Demon, help arrived. A giant, the size of a Principal World bathed in flaming golden light, emerged in the void and immediately threw a fist charged with immense physical might toward the Alpha Universe Primordial.
Unlike Issac's instantaneous golden hands, the Titan Primarch charged all his power in that fist, so the Alpha Universe Primordial had to take it seriously.
The Alpha Universe Primordial gathered an immense amount of black lightning into his right fist and countered the Titan Primarch's punch. One was barely four meters tall while the other could hold Low Worlds on his palms, but the winner in that contest of physical might was the smaller humanoid.
Once he managed to push the Titan Primarch away, the Alpha Universe Primordial was ready to carry on with his pursuit when hundreds of giant fireballs dashed toward him.
The Alpha Universe Primordial frowned when he saw those fireballs and perceived the Dragon Primarch's arrival. A flash of anger appeared in his face as he saw the Neo-Demon getting away but was forced to focus his power again and sent a palm strike that shattered the fireballs.
Just as the Alpha Universe Primordial handled the fireballs, he detected a golden hand, this time hundreds of times more powerful than the previous ones, targeting his back.
Issac managed to catch on and fire a full-power attack thanks to the delay granted by the Titan and Dragon Primarchs.
The Magus, Titan, and Dragon Primarchs were attacking the Alpha Universe Primarch from every direction with all their power. Still, to their shock, the man could match the three of them alone!
It was clear by now that the last time he fought against Issac, almost one thousand years ago, he had been holding back. Despite the Alpha Universe Primordial's might, fighting the three Primarchs proved challenging, especially as the flaming cross on his forehead wavered.
When that cross wavered, the Universe Will's pressure managed to find a crack in the Alpha Universe Primordial's defenses, severely weakening him for a moment.
Issac and the other two Primarchs would not lose that chance. They made sure to fire their most potent spells against the Alpha Universe Primordial, generating a colorful explosion that consumed him.
The Alpha Universe Primordial emerged from the explosion almost immediately, and the flaming cross solidified again, allowing him to display his full power. Still, severe wounds were all over his body due to that last barrage of spells.
He saw how Zatiel was getting farther again, but before he could even take a step in the Neo-Demon's direction, the Primarchs attacked him once again.
Issac and the other two understood that the reason why the man could fight back the Universe Will's pressure was due to that flaming cross. As for the one who created it, there could not be anyone else but the Flame Imperator.
Although the cross was unlike anything the trio had ever seen, one thing was clear, and that was that it would not last long. The Primarchs did not need to win. They only needed to hold on for enough time until the Alpha Universe Primordial lost that protection.
Truthfully, neither Issac, Titan Primarch, nor Dragon Primarch thought of killing the man. For one, it would be complicated and could end with one of them perishing as well. But even more important, there was some sort of peace between the Prima Universe and Alpha Universe, and they did not want to test their luck and see what the Flame Imperator would do if they killed one of his champions.
Minutes started to pass, and the Alpha Universe Primordial could not get rid of the three Primarchs pinning him down. Not only were more and more wounds appearing on his body as the flaming cross kept failing, but Zatiel was already so far away that if he did not chase now, he would not manage to catch the Neo-Demon before being forced to leave.
Just as the flaming cross was about to vanish and the Primarchs were smiling as victory was inevitable, a feeling of incredible danger assaulted them.
The flash of anger on the Alpha Universe Primordial's eyes transformed into burning wrath, and then an explosion of killing intent emerged from his body.
"GET OUT OF MY WAY!" The Alpha Universe Primordial roared with all his power as a new silver star manifested around his crown.
If Ezequiel were to see that new star, he would be shocked beyond belief. Return to Origin is divided into Small Succes, Large Success, Perfection, and Origin. Forming the ten Silver Star of Origin would allow you to reach the Origin level and complete your Pre-Epoch Body.
Although the Alpha Universe Primordial's tenth Silver Star of Origin was illusory and not fully complete, the power it granted him was incredible. After all, a Pre-Epoch Body had the might to endure the forces beyond the Cosmic Wall, a feat reserved for Rank 10 life forms!
From the Alpha Universe Primordial, a shock wave charged with black lightning emerged and struck the three Primarchs, making them puke blood and sending them flying away.
Issac and the other two Primarchs could not hide the feeling of awe that assaulted them. That tenth silver star charged the Alpha Universe Primordial's aura with power to counter the Universe Will!
