Kareem's blade went forward with furious speed. In no time Veronica found the blade already upon her. Ready to strike her to death.
Ding!
With a raise of her sword, she diverted his blade. Hyrouinmaru appeared in her hands. She executed Heaven's Path Movement technique appearing in front of Kareem. Kareem's blade retracted immediately.
Ding! Ding! Ting!
Their swords clashed continuously as they both utilized Heaven's Path Sword Art to their maximum capacity. Kareem was attacking with speed and furious strength behind his attacks. While Veronica would stop all those attacks and attack with the same speed and furiousness as him.
It was clear to the audience they were evenly matched. They didn't move from the same spot since they started clashing. Yet many were struggling to see their movements. Doryu, Ankuj, Akoji, and Douglas Bullet could see their movements but were still struggling to see clearly. Only The Orochi could properly see their movements and the exquisite and refined techniques that were in those movements.
He couldn't help but think "If they are already stronger than normal Immortal 4-dan Pseudo God. How strong would they be when they reached that cultivation level?" These two had the potential to surpass him when he was in his prime.
"Hm, it seems I can't slack of myself" he now felt excited. There were finally people with who he could grow on this long journey of chasing immortality. To become God's.

"Getsuga Tensho" a blast of pure energy was sent out that forced Veronica back.
Even after such a drawstring attack she only had a scratch on her cheek. Kareem dropped his blade. The audience watched as it sank into the ground with ripples. The battlefield was now covered in cherry blossom. Those cherry blossoms turned black. Indicating they were now covered by Kareem's armor haki. Before the cherry blossoms were beautiful yet deadly. Now they were like the harbinger of death with that pitch-black color.
"Senbonzakura Kageyoshi huh? You've been through a lot tell me about it sometime" Veronica said to Kareem with the brightest smile.
"Of course darling," Kareem said smiling at her too.
The cherry blossoms rushed forward like an ocean wave. Veronica raised hyrouinmaru and shot out an ice dragon that was quickly cut to shreds by the cherry blossoms. She swung the red blade in her arm and fire rivaling that of Ryujin at its previous Bankai state rushed forward. Yet the cherry blossoms still extinguished it. Seeing that it was pointless she calmed her mind. Held onto her blades tightly and entered the zone. A state of complete concentration.
When the cherry blossoms were upon her. Veronica covered her blades in armament haki. Just like Ichigo against Byakuya Kuchiki. She started deflecting and crushing the cherry blossoms. At this moment she was using her Sword Quintessence of Speed and Defense to the max.
Kareem disappeared and appeared in front of her with his zanpakuto in hand "Sakura Tensho" a moon-shaped blast of sword qi mixed with cherry blossoms was sent out.
This attack caught Veronica by surprise and took her arm off. Then continued to split the stadium in half. Veronica issued a shard kick to Kareem's side sending him backward. She controlled the blood in her severe arm and brought it back. Attaching it immediately. Such were the regeneration qualities of on Ancient Sage.
Boom!
Veronica's aura shot through the roof the reinforced barrier was cracking. The Orochi had to once again place more energy into it to stop it from clasping.
"Hehe, that was good. But let me show you something too" Veronica raised her arm and Kareem felt a pull on his body as he flew forward. Veronica's fist connected with his face smashing him into the ground.
Boom!
Veronica's figure was sent flying backward crashing into the barrier. While Kareem was smashing into the ground. With the armor over his in pieces. The moment Veronica's fist connected with his face. Kareem sent out a kick striking her right into her stomach.
Veronica walked out of the crash in the barrier. While Kareem got out of the hole in the round. They started walking slowly and calmly towards each other. They both stepped forward with their right legs and pushed on the ground. With all their strength they swing their swords at each other.
Ding! Crack! Swish!
Upon connecting Kareem's Zanpakuto and Veronica's Zanpakuto along with her Ancient Sage Sword shattered. The blades automatically reverted into their inventory. Where they would be fixed by the system. Yet they both ignored this and started attacking each other with various martial arts and cultivation techniques.
Kareem grabbed Veronica's wrist and with a swing flipped her over in the air. Veronica wrapped her legs around his head and bent over backward bringing Kareem's whole body forward. Crashing his head into the ground.
Veronica sent a low kick for Kareem's head. Who pushed off the ground with his hands and spun around in the air. Landing on his feet his rushed towards Veronica exchanging blows with her.
They were so caught up in the moment they didn't notice as time flew by. But Kareem had a plan. The audience watched as day turned to night and night turned to day. This repeated for two years. With the amount of Vitality, these two had they were just starting to get tired.
Standing in the stadium Kareem and Veronica were breathing hard. Kareem raised his hand signaling Veronica to stop. His zanpakuto appeared in his hands. With a wave his hands. The barrier was destroyed immediately.
His sword turned into cherry blossoms and covered the sky. He controlled it to form various moments of them for all the time they have been together. A total of two years' worth of memories were shown in the sky. At the center was a picture of Veronica exactly how she looked in their past life.
She had long curly brown hair. Her eyes were also brown. Her face was delicate and looked softer than that of a baby's. Her lips were light pink. Her body was perfectly slim and fitted her face perfectly. She was wearing a pink dress. Which was the dress she wore on their first date. There are no other words to describe her other than a perfect beauty that had blessed earth with her presence.
Kareem walked up to Veronica got down on his knee and ripped his heart out.
"I love you Veronica and you my everything. You are my twin flame that burns brighter than the sun itself. Will you make me the happiest man alive and marry me?"
Veronica as well as the audience was shocked at this sudden development. Tears started falling out Veronica's eye's as she looked at Kareem and the various moments of them that covered the sky. She reached for her chest and ripped her heart out as well. Takings Kareem's heart she placed it in her chest and put hers in his.
"Yes, I will marry you. For me your like the stars in the night sky that illuminate the darkness in my life" Veronica said smiling.
On This Day November 6 of The Universal Calendar. Kareem proclaimed his undying love for Veronica and asked her to marry him. She accepted.
