The sight of the Flame Imperator's healing drew terror in the hearts of the Prima Universe's warriors. All their sacrifices would mean nothing if this one managed to recover.

As for the Primordial Legion, seeing the Flame Imperator rise again would have thrilled them any other time, but this one was using their bodies and soul to achieve that recovery. Not only were they terrified, but a feeling of utter betrayal assaulted their minds and shattered their spirits.

Chrollo and the rest of the Empyrean Primordials could endure the shadow flames better than the rest of their brothers' thanks to their cultivation. When they analyzed it, a shocking revelation assaulted them.

The shadow flame had been with them for a very long time. More precisely, from the moment they opened their souls to the Flame Imperator and made him the Alpha Universe's Spiritual Leader.

At the moment that the Primordials of the Alpha Universe decided to trust the Flame Imperator with all their hearts, this one betrayed them. They were never more than food in his eyes.

While an overwhelming sorrow assaulted the Primordial Legion, an immense sense of loath and disgust filled Prima Universe's army. What kind of a leader would behave like that, giving his people nothing but an agonizing death in exchange for their devotion and trust?

"BOOM!" A shock wave echoed through the ground as a figure flashed toward the Flame Imperator, full of killing intent.

It was not Chrollo or any other of the Empyrean Primordials, as not only were their wills shattered, but the shadow flame had already deprived them of all their strength.

The one flying to the sky was one of the Prima Universe's mightiest warriors, the World Tree. En's eyes burned with fury as violet flames burst out of his sword.

The World Tree was not a saint and would not have hesitated to kill Chrollo and the others to protect his home, but there was never hate in his heart against the Primordial Legion. They were an army fighting for their home, and such an enemy deserves respect, even in the face of death.

For En, someone who cherished peace and brotherhood above all things, the Flame Imperator's actions were the most despicable behavior he could imagine. That is why he attacked despite the danger.

En's sword hacked toward the Flame Imperator's head, but just as it was about to reach him, a shadow force field manifested. En's eyes widened when he clashed with it, as all the power in his sword was thrown back at him, sending him crashing down to the ground while puking blood.

That sight shattered what little hopes both sides had that the process could be interrupted. The only ones stronger than En were those that earned the title of Thearchs, Ezequiel and Venganza, but the duo had no strength left in their bodies.

The Supreme Neo-Demon could not even stand, and it would take everything from Venganza just to take a step forward. Their wounds would heal, but not in time to stop the Flame Imperator.

As the shadow flames consumed more and more Primordials, the Flame Imperator's condition improved faster and faster, making the darkness covering the sky even more powerful. They had already extended for so long that there was not an inch of the Alpha-Prima Universe not shrouded in eternal night.

Chrollo saw how all his brothers died, devoured by the man they swore to follow for all their lives. There was a sense of utter heartache in his eyes as he glanced at Ezequiel and the World Tree.

"I wish I had followed a man like the one who inspired you two to be such amazing warriors." Those were the final words of the Empyrean Primordial's Leader before the shadow flame consumed his existence.

Once that last stream of shadow entered the Flame Imperator's body, he began to tremble before a wave of immense power emerged from him.

"BOOM!" A dark shock wave spread over the sky as the Flame Imperator's eyes regained light, and his soul force and vitality spread endlessly.

"¡HAHAHAHAHA!"

The Flame Imperator laughed maniacally as not only did all his wounds heal, but he came back even stronger than before. However, as he remembered the price he had to pay, fury emerged from his soul, making the sky go wild.

He glanced at the Prima Universe's warriors and focused on Venganza and Ezequiel before showing a cold smile.

"You force me to use the sacrifice I prepared for it. Now all of you will experience pain like nothing before, knowing that after I kill you, I will also erase every sign of life in your entire universe!"

The Flame Imperator's words echoed through the Alpha-Prima Universe, and the shadows covering the sky burst with flaming power.

"Endless Darkness. Falling Sky!"

The sky began to tremble and grow even more powerful, and it seemed that it would fall at any second, consuming everything beneath it.

No one in the Prima Universe's army could stop that attack, and it would erase every single one of them. However, while the Flame Imperator expected to see the despair in his enemy as they faced death, they only showed him eyes full of determination that fear nothing!

"Hmph!" The Flame Imperator sneered as he saw the resolve of the Prima Universe's warriors.

"All of you, die!"

The dark sky fell with a power that would end every life when it happened.

"THUMP!"

A heartbeat emerged from the Prima Universe's nucleus, spreading over every corner of the super universe and reaching the Alpha-Prima Universe.

The Flame Imperator's eyes widened as he heard that heartbeat, and shock filled his soul when he felt the immensely powerful aura coming from the Prima Universe's nucleus.

"THUMP!!!"

Just as the Flame Imperator wondered what was happening, another heartbeat emerged from the Prima Universe's nucleus, this time with even more power and accompanied by a giant stream of golden fire.

That golden fire had a power capable of ignoring space-time, instantly reaching the Alpha-Prima Universe before splitting the dark sky apart, letting light shine over everything.

The Prima Universe's warriors stared at the sky, and a smile appeared in their eyes as they saw that light. That sight made a word appear in all their minds.

DAYBREAK!
