"Noah of the Daybreak Lineage is the winner."
The entire arena burst into cheering when Vengaza declared Noah the winner. There was not a second of the battle in which the people across the Daybreak Universe did not have excitement and shock overflowing since the duo truly displayed overwhelming power and fighting will.
Noah remained on the ground as the Depravita Aura healed his wounds, restoring his soul force and bloodline. The smile on his face only grew wider as the sense of accomplishment in his heart was overwhelming.
The battle with Sirik pushed Noah beyond his limit, and that was precisely the kind of fight he needed if he wanted any shot to rise above the limitations of the universe and stand on the highest echelon.
Vengaza's energy was so pure that in thirty seconds, Noah was able to stand up, and he raised his fists, making the cheers that echoed across the coliseum even stronger.
Noah knew that his father was watching the battles, which is why he was so proud of his achievements.
The Revenge Thearch allowed Noah a minute to bask in the glory of his amazing victory before sending him out of the arena and bringing forward the next contestants.
All the cheering stopped once people saw the ones that would fight next. Silence reigned, but that did not mean the excitement in their hearts had turned off. On the contrary, they were even more thrilling as the next battle would be, without a doubt, legendary!
On the left, the mighty genius Depravita came out of nowhere and displayed the amazingly rare and powerful Chaos Force, Beelzebub.
And on the right, there was an even mightier dark horse. A young man that did not know defeat and whose abilities defied logic, allowing him victory over one of the greater geniuses of the Daybreak Universe, Aion!
Azazel had already proved that Aion was not invincible, but that involved using illusions powers of an extremely high degree. When it came to physical clashes and spells, there was nothing Aion could not handle unless it reached an outrageous level like Sirik's ultimate form.
Aion stared at Beelzebub with his characteristic calm smile, but there was a strange light in his eyes as they constantly shook.
Beelzebub noticed the bizarre behavior of the Neo-Demon but did not let it distract him. The only thing on his mind right now should be to find a way to defeat the man in front of him.
"Beelzebub from the Depravita Race vs. Aion of the Human Lineage. Fight!"
Venganza's words marked the start of a battle that would shock the hearts of everybody seeing it.
Beelzebub did not hesitate before bathing his spear in flaming Depravita Aura and flashing forward at full speed. He did not activate his Chaos Force from the start of the fight since he knew just how powerful Aion's counter attacks were.
If there was one thing Beelzebub learned from Azazel's fight with Aion was to slowly improve his destructive power, transforming it into a battle of attrition.
Beelzebub was ready to see how Aion dodged his attack performing a feat of incredible agility, but the Neo-Demon did not move a single step, even as the spear was about to pierce his chest.
Aion was formidable but did not have great physical defenses, so the power of Beelzebub's spear would manage to pierce into his chest. Instead of dodging the spear, he used his bare hands to deflect it.
That was just as insane as trying to stop the weapon with his naked chest. It was no different than a mortal man trying to stop a sword's edge with his palm. The only possible outcome of something like that would be having his hand cut in half.
However, despite all that, the entire coliseum saw how Aion easily deviated Beelzebub's spear into the ground right before his feet.
"?Boom!"
A small explosion occurred when the spear landed on the ground, but that could not compare with the shock assaulting Beelzebub's mind. He raised his sight and saw the golden eyes of the Neo-Demon focusing on him with boredom!
Beelzebub grew furious, raising his spear from the ground and hacking up, intending to split Aion in half.
The Neo-Demon saw that attack, but it did not erase his smile. He sent a palm strike toward the spear's head, erasing all its power and momentum without any sign of effort.
Beelzebub clenched his teeth as he could not raise his spear. It was as if Aion's palm carried the weight of the world, and he could not overcome it. He was not just going to give up and twisted the spear to the side, generating a semicircle with it.
The end of the spear's arc was Aion's neck, but he used the back of his hand to strike it.
Beelzebub's eyes widened as the back of Aion's hand pushed his spear away with so much strength that it almost escaped from his grip. It took all his effort to remain in control of the weapon and an even mightier technique to carry on with his attack.
The Depravita deployed superb skills as he repeatedly attacked with the spear bathed in flaming destructive energy, but no matter what he did, Aion used his bare hands to stop all of them.
Noah's absolute focus was on the battle happening right now. He would have to face those two very soon and wanted to learn as much as possible.
'It's happening again!'
That thought appeared in Noah's mind when he saw how Aion once again displayed unique abilities with mechanism that were nearly impossible to discern.
If Noah was frustrated, one could only imagine how Beelzebub felt. He pushed his martial skills to the limit and made his Depravita Aura burst with power, yet he still could not land a single strike.
After having his spear nearly pushed away from his hand for the tenth time, Beelzebub jumped back, putting some distance between him and Aion. He needed a moment to figure out how to overcome this new obstacle, but things did not go according to his wishes.
Before Beelzebub could even breathe, Aion flashed toward him and sent a palm strike to his face. That behavior surprised the Depravita and everybody in the coliseum.
Aion was able to deploy devastating physical power, but that was always due to his counters, meaning he used his opponent's strength to enhance his own. Everybody always believed he took that path due to his average physical might, but what happened next destroyed that notion.
"?BOOM!"
Aion's palm clashed with Beelzebub's face with so much strength that it generated a massive shock wave and sent this one flying away.
Beelzebub felt how the bones on his face nearly shattered under the power of that palm. Thanks to his Depravita Constitution, he was able to heal that physical damage almost instantly by consuming his energy. Still, that did not erase the fact that Aion was able to deploy physical strikes that matched those of Sirik or Athea!
The Depravita was able to regain control of his body very fast, but not fast enough since Aion was already in front of him, ready to fire a new palm strike.
A palm full of power flashed toward Beelzebub's stomach. He attempted to use his spear to block it, but it was futile.
Just like Aion could read every move the Depravita made during an attack, he could also see past the defensive stance, finding a perfect opening to land a point-blank strike.
"?BOOM!"
Another blast echoed across the arena when Aion's palm landed on Beelzebub's stomach, sending this one flying into the sky while puking blood.
That was just the start of a ferocious barrage as Aion continued striking Beelzebub's body, sending this one flying from one direction to another.
"?BOOM!" "?BOOM!" "?BOOM!"
Silence reigned across the coliseum, and the only thing that everybody could hear was the explosion left every time Aion's palms landed on Beelzebub's body.
People across the Daybreak Universe did not know what to think when they saw that. They all expected this to be an epic battle between two extremely powerful geniuses, but Aion simply overwhelmed Beelzebub.
"?BOOM!"
A massive blast occurred when Beelzebub's body clashed with the ground, generating a dust cloud covering his figure.
Aion did not hesitate before dashing forward into the dust cloud. He was about to reach where Beelzebub crashed when his eyes widened as he saw a spear bathed in chaotic flaming Depravita Aura emerge from the ground beneath him.
Due to his supernatural perception, Aion could always see his opponent's movement as long as they were connected to the world. Beelzebub had not severed that connection, yet the spear still managed to hide from him.
The Neo-Demon stroke with both hands toward the spear's head, but this time he did not come victorious in the clash of forces and was sent flying away.
People in the coliseum were surprised to see Aion pushed into the sky, but they were even more shocked when Beelzebub rose, and there was no longer a clock covering his figure.
