"Set your souls ablaze with your willpower and fight for the Prima Universe!"
Zatiel lacked the strength to shout those words out loud, but it did not stop them from echoing through the void and reaching every single one of the Prima Universe's warriors.
Silence reigned after that war cry since there was no need for words. The burning willpower in the eyes of the Prima Universe's warriors was all the answer needed.
Every single one of them was ready to fight and die to protect their home!
"Lucifer, you will take the lead. Guide the entire force of the Prima Universe to the Alpha-Prima Universe. Do not enter the battlefield yet. Stand guard until I give the signal, and use this time to heal your wounds." Zatiel's gaze was full of conviction. Despite his weakened state, his words left no room for refusal.
The Champion of Justice and Order nodded before covering everybody with his soul force and teleporting. There were only two people left behind, Zatiel and Venganza.
The Depravita of Revenge stared at Zatiel for a moment before his body trembled, and three individuals emerged from it.
Zatiel was already familiar with Ira and Codicia, but his eyes narrowed as he saw the new member of Sundered Night. He was a young child with white hair and pupils and a golden crown above his head.
The child sat on Venganza's right shoulder, and there was an inquisitive smile on his face as he stared at the Neo-Demon Ancestor.
Zatiel's eyes grew cold as he felt that gaze since it resembled that of a man he hated more than anyone. Still, although similar in some aspects to the King in Yellow, the child showed no evil but pure curiosity.
"My name is Orgullo. Although these are not the best circumstances, it is a pleasure to meet the creator of the Depravita Race, Zatiel Daybreak." Orgullo's voice was calm and yet carried a certain level of cunningness. He made several points clear in that statement.
This was their first meeting, and Zatiel should not mistake him for someone else.
There were no secrets among the members of Sundered Night, so Orgullo was perfectly aware of his origin, but that did not matter to him.
He was not the Eldritch Universe King, the King in Yellow. He was the Depravita of Pride, Orgullo of Sundered Night!
Zatiel's hatred for the King in Yellow was so intense that it defied rational thoughts, so it would not be easy for him to ignore the connection with the Depravita of Pride. If it was any other time, he might have acted differently, but right now, his mind could only focus on the war.
"If you devour my existence, would you gain the power to kill the Flame Imperator?"
Zatiel spoke those words so casually that it took a moment for Venganza to process them, but a sense of absolute shock assaulted him when he did.
The Depravita of Revenge was not alone, as Ira, Codicia, and Orgullo also showed utter shock when they heard that. Each of them could see the determination in Zatiel's eyes, and there was no doubt in their minds that this one was ready to die if the Flame Imperator suffered the same fate.
Venganza stared at Zatiel for a long time before shaking his head.
"Your foundation in the Path of Laws is possibly the mightiest in the multiverse, but I focus solely on the Path of Concepts. In that aspect, you are not better than any of my brothers.
Although consuming your existence in your current state would help me, it would only improve the speed at which I enter the Fourth Realm. And even then, it will not be fast enough to do it before the Ultimate Multiversal War is over."
"I see." Zatiel nodded and showed no emotional response. He did not want to die, but he was clearly ready to do it if it would guarantee the safety of the Prima Universe.
"I have something to ask you, but before that, I want to know whether Sundered Night will fight in the Ultimate Multiversal War?"
Venganza did not answer that question immediately and turned to Codicia, Ira, and Orgullo. Although he was Sundered Night's Leader, and those three would follow him to the end, he would never force his brothers to do something against their will.
Codicia was the first to nod, which made sense as the Depravita of Greed had the strongest sense of justice, and Ira nodded shortly after.
Orgullo remained silent for a moment as he contemplated things. His personality fitted his name, as he was full of pride and did not really care about the rest of the universe. They could all perish, and it would not matter to him.
Venganza and Ira remained silent and did not interfere with Orgullo's thoughts, but Codicia was different as he began to look at the Depravita of Pride with an expectant gaze.
When Orgullo saw Codica's puppy eyes, an annoyed expression appeared on his face before sighing and shrugging his shoulders.
"Fine, fine, we will fight together." Orgullo showed a small smile toward Codicia before turning toward Zatiel with a severe expression. "But let me make one thing clear. I will not allow my brothers to die for this universe."
Zatiel's eyes narrowed when he heard Orgullo's answer, and seeing how Venganza remained silent, it was clear that this one shared those thoughts.
"Fair enough. Since you will help us, I would like to ask for a personal favor. I have a path to survive my current tribulation. The chances of success are virtually zero in my current state, but that never stopped me before."
Zatiel began to explain his plan to Venganza. The fact it was almost impossible to achieve did not affect the thrill of his soul or a smile to emerge on his face.
Once they heard the entire plan, the members of Sundered Night stared at the Neo-Demon Ancestor as if this was a madman.
Despite having existed as one entity not too long ago, Venganza could not imagine how Zatiel came out with such an outrageous plan. Still, he went ahead and helped this one.
Sundered Night fused, and Venganza generated a cocoon of Eternal Flame of Hope to hold Zatiel before teleporting.
