Leo and Ven staggered upright--breath ragged, bodies drenched in sweat. Their knees buckle beneath them, but pride forces them to stand. And then Void ling spoke.
Blaze Vortex:
(Voice steady)
"You're lucky you can withstand my flames, even when limited. Otherwise...you'd be ashes by now."
Void ling:
(Calmly)
"Blaze, enough of this."
At the Elysian Universe Section--Shock and satisfaction clash in equal measure. Setsuna spoke with delight.
Setsuna:
(Cheering, eyes lit)
"Leo's finally losing. Serves him right for mocking the multiverse for so long."
Raven:
(Somber)
"Still....I didn't think they'd fold this easily. Void ling and Blaze weren't even full--strength."
Kurana:
(Stunned)
"I never imagine Leo and Ven sweating like mortal. This Void ling and Blaze... what are these guys?"
Back at the Arena. Void ling steps forward--still striking. His voice drops, chilling the air around him.
Void ling:
(Unfazed, direct)
"Surrender now...or I'll throw you out of the ring myself."
Leo and Ven freeze. Panic flickers in their eyes. Their breathing becomes audible. The crowd stills. Blaze glaces sideways at Void ling.
Blaze Vortex:
(Quietly)
"You cannot defeat us... so face reality "
Void ling:
(Voice sharpened)
"You defeat others through manipulation--trapping them inside their own power loops. Infinite energy may be endless...but it doesn't faze me."
Blaze Vortex:
(Cold and fiery)
"Same for you, Ven. Reversal, corruption--those gifts are hollow when you wield them like poison. You twisted Setsuna, Dracona, Nivara, Pyra, Fiora...Your mere powers is not enough, when it lacks soul."
Ven Magnus:
(Growling and smiled)
"You call my power mere?!"
Ven surges forward, hurling a punch. Blaze catches it--effortlessly. Ven freezes in shock. And then--BAM--Blaze punches him with volcanic force, launching Ven from the ring with a powerful punch. The crowd gaps.
Leo Draca:
(Roaring)
"You bastard! Why you--!"
Void ling:
(Calmly)
"Farewell...manipulator."
Void ling stretched his hand. Purple energy coils at his palm like a blooming galaxy. The blade erupts, colliding with Leo. The explosion sends him spiraling--out of the ring. At the Primeval Universe Section-- They spoke with clarity.
Rex Noir:
(Angry)
"We need to prepare. They won't be easy."
Thalass Blueheart:
(Grim)
"Agreed. Their rhythm is unlike any we've fought."
King Lucian Nightgale:
(Warning)
"Study them deeply. They don't fight--they rewrite battles."
Divinus Luminus:
(Low voice)
"Even Master Restu showed restraint around them. That speaks volumes."
At the Grand Throne-- Emperor Restu Rises. And then he spoke as his voice echoes across the space.
Emperor Restu:
(Royal tone)
"Leo Draca and Ven Magnus of the Obsidian Universe are out. Void ling and Blaze Vortex are the winners of the Astral Universe."
Empress Asuna:
(Beaming)
"That's more like it. My Universe always delivers when it counts."
Emperor Restu:
(Turning to her)
"Indeed. They're far stronger than the last time they faced me."
At the Astral Section--They were ecstatic and overjoyed and they spoke.
Seraphina Nyx:
(Happy)
"Way to gooooo, Void ling!"
Liam Hearts:
(Happy)
"Blaze--what a burn. That was divine!"
Celestina:
(Smirking)
"Can you two girls no scream? Save your lungs for the finale."
At the Grand Throne--Emperor Restu stood up and announcing.
Emperor Restu:
(Voice echoes)
"Now...for the Grand Final. Void ling & Blaze Vortex VS Rex Noir and Thalass Blueheart of the Primeval Universe."
Back at the Arena, Leo and Ven rise--defeated, sient. They return to their section with bowed heads. At the Obsidian Universe Section. They were mad at them.
Queen Ravenna Loveborn:
(Disappointed)
"You both deserved it. You relied on trickery and manipulation instead of true power."
Violent Selene:
(Watching Coldy)
"Perhaps next time, you'll evolve before you challenge gods."
Back at the Arena.. The Grand Final Duel is about to Begin. Void ling and Blaze glanced at each other--no fear, only readiness.
Void ling:
(Smirking)
"Rex and Blueheart...They entered our universe once. But they never faced us."
Blaze Vortex:
(Aura humming)
"They will now."
From the Primeval Section, Rex and Blue stand. Slowly, descended into the arena, pressure growling. The stage of the gods is set. Emperor Restu rises once more from his Grand Throne, aura dimmed but ever--dominant.
Emperor Restu:
(Regal tone)
"The final match will behind in three minutes. Until then... let the feast be served across all universes Section. Rex, Blue, Ling and Vortex--return to your seats."
The champions nod, descending back to their universes section as celestial tables form beneath glowing signs. Aroma swells across the cosmic arena. In the Astral Universe section, celebration blooms. Seraphina rushes at Void ling--throws her amrs around him. Liam also did the same embracing blaze.
Void ling:
(Smirked, slightly Flustered)
"It alright, Seraphina."
Blaze Vortex:
(Midly stunned and blushed)
"Oh wow, that surprising. From a girl I barely know off."
Liam Hearts:
(Chuckling)
"Sorry."
Blaze Vortex:
(Laughed)
"You don't have to be sorry, I was just joking."
Food arrives in divine abundance--flame--roasted meats, etherfruit platters, solar-spiced delicacies. Each table reflects. Its universe essence. King Ryder approached The duo
King Ryder:
(Firmly)
"You two must not fumble. Our universe depends on this win."
Void ling and Blaze nodded silently--their eyes sharp, aura goes but waiting. At the Primeval Universe table, reaction splinter like starlight.
King Lucian Nightgale:
(Focused)
"This meal is the silence before a way cry. Eat and reflect."
Alistair Graylock:
(Dryly)
"Or is Draven's case... inhaled everything."
Draven Redgrave eyes shimmer, pupils colorful cosmic seasonings.
Draven Redgrave:
(Delighted)
"This meat...is sooo good!"
Alistair Graylock:
(Deadpan)
"Draven. Shut up."
Arlequina Quiin:
(Quietly and amused)
"Let him have his moment."
Two figures materialize at opposite ends of the arena, their staff sticks humming with radiant glyphs. With a synchronized tap, the battlefield begins to morph--expanding outward, columns extending skyward, marble platforms gleaming beneath celestial light. A shimmering red carpet unfurled along the outer ring--reserved for the final combatants. Ornate banners bearing multiversal crest billowing above.
Void ling:
(Chewing slowly)
"Who are those guys... and why are they rearranging the arena?"
Blaze Vortex:
(Causally)
"I believe they are refiners. Arena architects summoned only for the Grand Finals i guess."
King Ryder:
(Cutting meat, not looking up)
"Emperor Restu ordered them--they are beings who work under Emperors and Empresss."
At the Zenith Universe Section banquet table, conversation turns toward the final clash.
King Tasuya Shadow;
(Slicing starfruit)
"The stage they're building...it's not just larger. It's resonant. The final bout will echo through time itself."
Noxie Rai:
(Flicking her fork)
"Void and Blaze may be relaxed, even relaxed stars can implode."
Fiora Luna:
(Smiling)
" Don't provoke them, remember they are the ones, who save us from getting humiliated, when Leo and Ven eliminated us."
At the Divine Fang Universe--Quiet awe settles in. As they spoke.
Pyra Lumira:
(Watching)
"So this is the grandeur we are about to witness."
Dracona Dragonheart:
(Eating)
"We should've been fighting alongside them. My recklessness cost us."
Reiko Kiyomi:
(Placing a calm hand on Dracona)
"There's still pride in bearing witness. Let's honor them by seeing it though with grace."
At the Grand throne. Emperor Restu stood again and thanked the beings who arranged the arena.
Emperor Restu:
(Lifting his chalice)
"Thank you...always appreciated. You touch turners battles into legends."
The Architects offer a deep nod, their staffs pulsing once before they fade into Violent wind. Emperor Raphael Lumin spoke.
Emperor Raphael Lumin:
(Voice calm)
"What do you think will unfold in this final? Will it be balance...or devastation?"
Empress Yasha Arashi:
(Cool gaze)
"I see echoes of chaos and order... intertwining like lovers mid--duel. Void and Blaze is extremely tough to beat down."
Empress Vespera Lavanar:
(Her folk swirling)
"When power meets acceptance. This is going to be entertaining, in this realm."
Empress Octavia:
(Humming)
"I think...one will break. Not just physically. Something deeper. We'll see the birth of something."
At the Astral Universe Section--suspended over a field of swirling constellation--strategic brilliance is unfolding.
Blaze Vortex:
(Arms crossed and done eating)
"I've seen the final formation of the arena... their flow patterns. We will break their rhythm, and twist their tempo.
Void ling:
(Smirked)
"So it's not just brute force. We disrupte, confusion and then collapse their stance."
King Kaito:
(Smirked)
"That's clever Blaze. Turning their architecture of their arrogance against them."
King Ryder:
(Wiping)
"Sensible."
Rin:
(She smirked)
"Go and win both of you."
Yuuto:
(Smirked)
"Shatter their illusion, and let them pay."
THE FIGHT IS ABOUT TO BEGIN... FIND OUT SOON..
