Beelzebub's spear seemed to vanish as while the power of Chaos enhanced its might and made it unpredictable, the power of Order forced space-time to adjust to that chaotic pattern.
Combining the Chaos Force and Order Concept allowed Beelzebub to alter more than his body and weapon, extending his power to the world.
That attack distorted reality and seemed locked into Aion's neck, but against all predictions, the Neo-Demon with the Human Lineage managed to evade it!
Beelzebub could not hide his awe at Aion's skill but did not stop his attack, waving the spear to the side. This time the Neo-Demon could not simply dodge the blow and had to use his hands to block it.
Aion did not open his eyes but frowned when his hand got in touch with the spear. Not only was the brute power behind this one nearly five times larger, but the combination of Chaos Force and Order Concept could burn the cosmic force cloaking his hands!
Up to this point, that cosmic force's nature remained a mystery, and even in its most erratic form, it could resist the onslaught of Sirik at point blank, yet Beelzebub was now able to burn it.
"?BOOM!"
Aion was sent flying away by that strike but pushed his feet against the ground, using the friction to regain balance as he prepared to receive the spear aimed at the space right between his eyes.
The Neo-Demon rotated his entire body, using that torque to enhance his right palm's might, allowing him to push the spear to the left. He did not lose time and immediately sent a strike toward Beelzebub's face.
Beelzebub was impressed to see how Aion could react to his attack with such might. Still, he was much faster and stronger now, allowing him to retrieve his spear, generating a 360° turn with his body, attacking the back of Aion's palm, leaving a deep cut in it.
Aion clenched the muscles of his body, allowing him to remain straight, ignoring the momentum of his right hand and sending an uppercut with the left one.
Beelzebub was not able to dodge the blow, but the cloak of Chaos Force and Order Concept covering his body weakened the impact.
Aionw was surprised to see how the attack that could send the Depravita flying away less than an hour ago had almost no effect now. Unfortunately, he did not have much time to think as that uppercut left an opening that Beelzebub did not hesitate to use.
The spear rose at a shocking speed and with immense momentum, cutting Aion's left arm!
Silence reigned in the coliseum as they saw Aion's left arm flying away from his body. That was a crippling wound, especially for someone whose battle style focused on palm strikes.
Such a devastating wound meant the battle was practically over since Aion could not stop the spear from cutting his head off with a single arm.
However, something amazing happened. Thin threads of the cosmic force Aion used to cloak his hands emerged from inside the severed arm.
And that was not the only place from which they materialized since the same cosmic threads also emerged from the open wound on Aion's shoulder.
The threads from the arm and shoulder fused in less than a fraction of a nanosecond, reattaching the severed limb and allowing Aion to send a direct blow to Beelzebub's chest the next instant.
That blow pushed back Beelzebub, but that was nothing compared with the shock assaulting his heart. The power that Aion used to cloak his hands was also inside his body, and he could instantly reattach his limb, making it as if the wound had never existed from the start.
What was truly unique was that Aion could control such a complex and powerful force even if the limbs were no longer in direct contact with his soul.
If Beelzebub had remained focused, he would have noticed that Aion's shock was no less than his own. It seemed that the Neo-Demon was just as surprised as the Depravita that the cosmic force would do something like that.
Aion's eyes focused as he flashed toward Beelzebub and began to attack with all his power.
Beelzebub was able to react just as fast as the Neo-Demon, and countered with his spear, unleashing a barrage of strikes that not only matched Aion's but were able to find openings.
The spear began to leave deep lacerations on Aion's body, but just like the cosmic force could reattach severed limbs, it also closed all the wounds.
The people watching the battle could not help but feel baffled by the abilities of Aion and his formidable display of power whenever he found himself in a dangerous situation. It was as if pieces of his soul would awaken whenever someone pressured him to the brink of disaster.
Aion did not let this new formidable survival skill cloud his judgment and pushed his martial abilities to the limit. Still, his attack lacked the strength to break Beelzebub's Chaos-Order Guard, and the spear kept finding ways to reach his body.
Beelzebub had cut Aion's left arm and both legs in a minute, but the threads of cosmic force kept patching this one back together.
"?AHHHHH!"
The Depravita roared as the Chaos-Order Eternal Diagram, glowed allowing his body to move at an overwhelming speed, cutting Aion's waist with so much force that he split this one in two!
That was a wound that even people with overwhelming regeneration abilities like Noah or Athea would have had problems recovering. Still, the cosmic reattached the upper and lower part of Aion's body with the same speed and efficiency as it did with a severed limb!
Beelzebub frowned when he saw that. The problem was not just the reattachment but the fact that cosmic force overflowing Aion's insides repelled his Depravita Aura, so all wounds he left were only of physical nature.
Aion could not stop smiling, and the reason was not just the incredible ability his cosmic force was displaying. The more pressure he faced from Beelzebub, the more memories he could remember.
Power and knowledge hiding in his soul were the two things Aion pursued with all his heart, and the First Samsara Tournament acted as a catalyst, helping him recover them at a shocking speed.
"?Hahahaha!"
Aion laughed as he sent palm strikes that became more and more refined. The brute force in them remained the same, but the skill in them kept growing.
Beelzebub saw the thrill and excitement in the eyes of the Neo-Demon, and instead of getting frustrated or angry, he smiled as well. The idea of rushing for victory faded, and he decided to enjoy this fight, unleashing everything he had.
The peace in the Depravita's mind did not weaken his offensive might. On the contrary, it improved as the power of Chaos Force and Order Concept grew more intense in that state.
The Chaos-Order Eternal Diagram was the metaphysical manifestation of universal equilibrium, so a state of mind that achieved balance was more suitable for controlling its power.
"?Boom!" "?Boom!" "?Boom!" "?Boom!" "?Boom!"
Aion's hands and Beelzebub's spear moved faster and faster, clashing with so much power and at such a shocking speed that most Rank 7 life forms could only see a blur.
Noah's Samsara Eye showed him everything the duo could do, and he clenched his fist since he could not equal any of them. The way they were able to awaken an evolution in their souls and power during a fight was something he did not have.
Beelzebub's eyes grew sharp for a second, and he waved his spear with so much power that Aion could not stop it from cutting his neck, severing his head.
Venganza opened his palm when he saw that and was ready to take Aion out of the arena to reconstruct the body of the Neo-Demon, but before he could do it, the cosmic force acted.
Beelzebub's eyes widened when he saw how the cosmic force reattached Aions' head to his body. The most shocking part was the fact that ability did not drain the Neo-Demon's energy!
However, there was no such thing as flawless, and Beelzebub saw how, while the cosmic force fused the head and body, Aion was paralyzed for a second.
Beelzebub made his Depravita Aura explode, and the Chaos-Order Eternal Diagram filled his body and weapon with overwhelming strength as he drove the spear at Aion's head.
It did not matter how powerful that cosmic force was, there must be a limit, and Beelzebub trusted that it could not fix Aion if the spear obliterated the brain and Inner Universe of this one.
Beelzebub's spear was about to reach its target when he was teleported into the arena's sky. Confusion and surprise appeared in his eyes before understanding kicked in.
The Depravita showed a complicated smile toward the Revenge Thearch before nodding. His cultivation advanced to Rank 8 during that last attack, so he lost the battle.
"Aion of the Human Lineage is the winner!"
