With Romonus releasing the power of his Enucian tattoos, his strength swelled to levels few in his universe could match if any. As for Ophis, much like him all her eyes now had Symbols representing her Concepts and abillities.
With both of them now planning on defeating the other they moved toward each other many times faster than light. Reality around them screamed in agony as Romonus and Ophis continued to fight.
Romonus extended his palms like swords as his claws extended. He began to swing his arms as if he lacked bones which he swiped and slashed at Ophis. His claws sliced through scales and flesh alike, but it was not like he was not taking damage.
Ophis seemed to be learning as she flexed her fingers before rushing at Romonus. She grabbed his shoulders impaling her claws into his shoulders before injecting him with venom. Romonus ignoring the feeling brought up his knee as a spike extended which pierced one of Ophis' eyes on her stomach and into her body.
Both of them brought their heads forward as they locked horns in a strength clash. Their eyes locked onto each other as Romonus opened his mouth and bit Ophis' face. With a growl, she began to try to tear his arms off from his shoulders.
He reinforced his arms with his Domains causing his muscles and bones to bulge with power. He spartan kicked her with his free leg splitting them up, but with a flap of her wings, Ophis flew into the air.
Romonus growled as he chased after her only for the Dragon God to spin around and fly toward him. With an open maw, a potent Dragon Breath hit his titanic form. Without a sound, Romonus flew through the breath as parts of his body were erased. Ophis' many eyes across her boy seemed to open widely as he reached her.
With his arms covered in his entire power, he punched Ophis' mouth. The explosion of energy sent her massive body flying through the nothingness. She shook it off as she teleported above Romonus. She smashed into his back before biting his right shoulder.
She proceeded to perform a Deathroll tearing off his entire arm in the process. The pain was immense, but Romonus spun around with his remaining arm and grabbed her lower jaw. With a grunt he tore off her lower jaw causing both of them to start spewing blood into the nothingness.
Ophis released his arm while he released her jaw. She called back her lower jaw while he pulled his arm back to reattach it. Once they were healed they flew at each other once again to continue their brutal exchange.
At this point, both were hungry for blood and they proceeded to brutalize each other. Wings were torn off, the flesh was punctured, internal organs pulled out, entire sections of their flesh were run through with massive holes, and even Romonus' Demon Heart had been torn out of his chest by Ophis.
Romonus had been just as brutal and he tore open Ophis' chest, ran his arm through her Dragon Heart, ripped off her tail, and broke her spine, and both her arms. When they pulled apart Romonus looked into the empty place where his Demon Heart had been.
Ophis had ripped it out along with all his organs and he had returned the favor. Both of them were floating in the void as they began to pull their discarded flesh back. In his chest, a new Demon Heart regrew as good as new, and the rest of the missing chunks regenerated.
Even Ophis who he had brutalized returned to her peak state. This was the expected outcome because their Concepts seemed to counter each other perfectly. Omnipotence or All Powerful, VS Infinity or Endless.
It was hard to put the other down, but if they kept this up they might end up fighting for days, weeks, months, or even years. There would be no end as even when she fought Great Red, the fight had been long and just as brutal as this.
It reminded her that battles between Dragon Gods and as she now knew Demon Gods never ended fast. They just had too many damn ways to negate damage, regenerate and heal.
After hours of brutal fighting, she and Romonus were no closer to beating each other than they started. Romonus could not 'kill' or 'destroy' Ophis while she could not reduce him to 'nothingness' or erase him.
Once they were back in top shape, they rushed once more to get into it. The fighting did not reduce in intensity for even a second this time and the brutality seemed to have gone up a level.
While the two of them kept fighting, Great Red in the Dimensional Gap snorted as He remembered this. Back when Ophis moved out of the Gap, he moved in because it was isolated. Now, Ophis once again was in a fight with a Demon God that was as strong as they were.
If he fought Romonus other than Ophis he might lose. Ophis' Concepts just matched Romonus' perfectly as they countered each other. As for his Concept of Dreams, he would be a match for Romonus, but then again, Romonus was not using his gear or his magic.
This was just a slugfest and if Romonus used, Ruin Maker, Malacoda, Archaon, and the Cursed Shield, the match would be very different. As such, he stayed out of it since this was not a battle to the death.
If it did turn into a battle to the death, he expected Romonus would come out on top because of the many abillities he was not using. As such, Great Red just closed his eyes to relax as this had nothing to do with him.
However, his thought process did not last as Ophis tackled Romonus straight into the Dimensional Gap. This was not intentional, but when they arrived Great Red panicked as if they fought here they would call the Evie Atolde of this universe to them.
With a roar, he rushed toward the two fighting Gods to get them to stop. However, it seemed that someone else was drawn to the released energy as Trihexa who had yet to be sealed was drawn into the Dimensional Gap.
Now, The Dragon God of Infinity, The Beast of the Apocalypse, The Dragon of Dreams, and the Demon God of Destruction were in for a brawl. Ophis was not happy and neither was Romonus.
Romonus split from Ophis and instantly Archaon began to form around his body. Ruin Maker appeared in his right hand, Malacoda in his left, and the Cursed Shield appeared on his left shoulder.
Once he was in full war gear, it was obvious that he was no longer just sparring with Ophis. He was going in for the kill.
"Ophis, hold Trihexa back and I deal with Great Red."
"Fine."
Unlike him, she wasn't humanoid so using weapons was not for her. However, now Romonus was going to kill. Archaon now involved in the battle felt a rush flow through him. Though his rush could not compare to what Romonus was feeling.
After 22 years alive, training to fight foes as powerful as him, he finally found them. He kicked off the ground toward Great Red who as the Dragon of Dreams had slight Omniscience as he knew most of everything in his Universe.
As long as being Dreams he knew things, but much like Ophis, he was not going to go down easy. Romonus gripped Ruin Maker's handle as he reinforced his sword with Infernal Divinity.
With a single hand, he pulled the Titanic sword back.
'Demon God Technique: Dragon Clever.'
When he he unleashed his technique, the concentrated blade of Infernal Divinity, rushed toward Great Red. The Dragon God Divine moved to create hundreds of the densest barriers he could, but Romonus' technique slashed through all of them.
Great Red lunged to the side as the slash struck his right shoulder tearing into his flesh. Unlike the fighting with Ophis, these attacks were going to be harder to heal because of his weapon.
Romonus flapped his armored wings as he reached Great Red. He stabbed forward only for Great Red to strike the sentient spear aside. As the Dragon God of Dreams, other than Omniscience, he could create matter, energy, life, or anything he desired.
Using that power, he reinforced his scales and changed himself to be better suited for fighting. His size was reduced lightly making him more streamlined and more maneuverable.
His scales were compressed into a biological armor and inside his body, hundreds of nerves grew allowing his body to move on its own. With his preparations complete, Great Red roared shaking the Gap.
He rushed at Romonus who held his arms out in the come at me pose. He started to draw on the Bloodline abillities he had gained before combining them with his elements. Around his body, a storm of elemental devastation fused with his aura including lightning, fire, ice, water, wind, star energy, and Demonic Light.
All of them were released as he quickened at Great Red. The Dragon God roared as he refused to be disrespected like this.
"LEAVE AND NEVER RETURN!"
Romonus didn't bother to respond as as he reached Great Red. He shrunk down to a smaller size before he started to use his smaller size to utilize his skill as a warrior. With his Battle Domain enhanced by his Omnipotence Domain, he was truly in the zone.
The powers of the Seven Excaliburs flowed through Ruin Maker enhancing each of his attacks. Romonus pulled both his weapons back as he activated another Demon God Technique.
'Demon God Technique: Fatalis.'
He swung his weapons in an X shape cutting straight into Great Red's back. The Dragon God roared in pain as Romonus flew in with Malacoda extended. He stabbed the Malebranche Spear into the nape of Great Red before blasting the inside of his neck causing a giant wound in the Dragon God's neck.
From Great Red's flesh, giant living Draconic heads all rushed toward Romonus. He tore his spear out of Great Red as he spun and dodged as he sliced through the many extensions of Great Red.
If that was all, Romonus could deal with it, but Great Red burst apart into a pure Conceptual Dream energy before reforming. Romonus rested Ruin Maker on his shoulder as he pointed at Malachoda.
He glanced at Ophis who had been wrapped up by Trihexa's seven heads. Her many eyes released potent beams of Infinity tearing through the wrapping heads.
'She is fine.'
He then teleported toward Great Red kicking the giant Dragon in the head. With Great Red off-balance, Romonus pulled his arm back with his Demonic Spear.
"DEMON GOD TECHNIQUE: HEAVEN PIERCER!"
All his power rushed into his spear as he stabbed Great Red through his head blasting the Dragon's head and skull. An internal explosion burst through his head, but at the same moment, Great Red giant fist struck Romonus in the chest cracking Archaon slightly.
Romonus stopped his momentum as he saw Great Red heal.
'So this is what people feel when they attack me.'
It was like a battle between Immortals as they did not want to stay dead. Though, if he was being honest, it was in reality more than happy at finding foes to match him. It also reminded him that he needed to not be cocky.
If just Great Red and Ophis were this hard to kill, what would Dream from DC or other powerful characters be like? It made his goal to travel the Omniverse to gain power of vital importance. This fight had single-handedly relit the fire in his heart that a lack of battles was causing.
By the end of this fight, Romonus would not stop his training until he was standing at the top.
