Speed Is King

“What do you mean?” Alexander said with a sudden deeply awful feeling blooming in his heart.

“Look at the red energy swirling around him. It’s actually Wild Energy that comes from Wild Space! He has been infested with a powerful Wild Space life form that allows him to devour other beings and absorb their strength. And at the same time, the Wild Energy is also ridiculously powerful! Elliot said.

“If even the devil has been infested, then the Wild Space life form must be extremely powerful.” Aleyria said with a frown.

“We must kill him, and then we must go into the Realm of Sin to deal with the Wild Space life forms that must have invaded that realm. If not, then they will just keep coming. The Wild Space life forms won’t stop until they devour everything!” Elliot said as he started to circulate his energy powerfully within him.

“Let’s do our best then.” Aleyria said with great determination. “Lucifer dies right here, today.”

At that moment, the three of them were definitely the underdogs of the fight.

The two devils were at a far higher level of power compared to them, to the extent that even Magius with his powerful Staff of the Almighty, all five of them, were relegated to merely supporting fire!

The main damage dealers on the two devils were each other, and at that moment, the fate of their multiverse were in the hands of the two devils.

If they somehow stopped their infighting, then their realms would be as good as screwed._-.

Thankfully, Lilith was treacherous, and Lucifer was infested by Wild Energy!

Although everything seemed pretty bleak if taken at face value, it was actually pretty okay.

Lilith had shown her true colours with respect to Lucifer, and she would not back down until one of them died that day.

And Lucifer who was taken by surprise and ganged up by Magius was actually the stronger of the two.

So the situation was, strangely, quite stable and looking quite good for the multiverse!

Lucifer was winning the fight very slightly, and if the three of them threw their whole weight against him at the right time and right spot, they might just be able to end the fight right there and then.

“YOU HAVE SEALED YOUR OWN FATE, YOU BITCH OF A DEVIL GOD.” Lucifer rumbled in a creepy distorted voice. “I DID NOT WANT TO ACTIVATE THIS HEATHEN POWER, BUT NOW, YOU HAVE FORCED ME TO. AND THUS, YOUR LIFE IS FORFEIT! DIE! BECOME MY NUTRIENT!”

Wield by a full powered Devil, the red energy which Lucifer unleashed was completely unlike anything Blytoros could ever imagine releasing. His Wave of Death blossomed at full force and erupted forth from his massive body like a real life volcanic eruption of the most epic proportions.

However, instead of black, it was completely blood red in colour, and instead of causing destruction all around it, it devoured everything instead.

Elliot’s sixth sense started to tingle crazily, and a deep, primal urge to run away as far as he could started to wash over him. He gritted his teeth and clamped down on his emotions by unleashing his full dragon transformation.

The dragon’s apathy helped to numb the crippling terror that was surging through his soul, and he was able to stand his ground.

Primal Alexander and Aleyria managed to somehow drive back their own fears too. They were holding hands, and a strange protective aura of sorts was surrounding them.

“His attack isn’t even directed at us, and we are already so crippled by fear.” Elliot said in a shaky voice. “It would be extremely difficult to deal with him.”

“We have no choice but to unleash as many of our clones as possible, and trigger that thing which caused you to feel massively uncomfortable to happen. Right here, in this realm.” Primal Alexander said calmly. “That is the only weapon that we have which might be capable of dealing with him.”

“”We need to somehow separate this battleground from the main realm. If we don’t we are putting it in harm’s way.” Elliot said.

“It is impossible. We will not be able to unleash such a powerful spatial spell upon such powerful combatants without them breaking it apart like poking through a piece of paper.” Aleyria shook her head.

“Yes. The realm will just have to take its chances with the clone portals. It may be dangerous, but it would not be more than the harm that would befall it if we don’t do anything.” Primal Alexander agreed.

“Very well. If that’s what you wish to do.” Elliot said. “Gather all your clones this way, Aleyria. And get hold of one of that Staff of the Almighty.”

With a single thought, one of Aleyria’s clones went to Magius’ side, got one of his staffs, and returned to Elliot’s side.

By that time, Elliot had already gotten his hands on thousands of extremely rare and precious beast cores of the highest grades from his Dragon Apostles.

Hegemon level, Ancient Level and even a couple of extremely rare Primal Level beast cores.

All of his thousand clones had returned to his side, and were weaving clone portals en masse.

One thousand clone portals were created. The thousand Elliot clones stepped in and two thousand came out. And without stopping, they continued to create portals!

Right behind him, the Aleyria holding the Staff of the Almighty started to duplicate herself too.

One became two, four, eight, sixteen…

A deep hush had fallen upon the group as every single one of them felt their sixth sense start to tingle.

Thirty two.

Sixty four.

A hundred twenty eight.

The tingling intensified.

256.

512.

1024.

2048.

The tingling had turned into a blare of danger warning bells.

“This feels extremely dangerous.” Primal Alexander said softly. “Too much power has gathered here in this area.”

“Get your real bodies out.” Aleyria ordered. “Get our underlings out too.”

Instantly, Alexander’s thousand clones disappeared throughout the battlefield and started to lead his men out. Magius, Aleyria and Elliot retreated out of the area as well.

CRACKLE! CRACKLE!

Space itself started to crack slightly.

The thousands of Staff of the Almighty wielding Aleyrias continued to step through the thousands of clone portals created by the thousands of Elliots.

And after almost a hundred thousand Aleyrias were created, the two devils finally noticed her.
