The Aftermath of Battle – Victory Over Universe 6
The battlefield was in ruins. Smoke filled the air, and the ground was cracked from the sheer intensity of the battle. Xypher and Arkan stood victorious, their bodies bruised and burned, yet their determined spirits remained unbroken.
Kaizan, the Storm Tyrant of Universe 6, lay on the ground, unconscious. His overwhelming power had pushed Xypher to his limits, but in the end, Xypher's Dungeon Fire Mod had burned through the storm.
Arkan, standing beside him, took deep breaths. He had finally overpowered Veyra, the Ice Queen, but the battle had nearly cost him his life.
Xypher smirked, wiping blood from his lip. "Damn, that was harder than I expected…"
Arkan, exhausted, nodded. "If that was just Universe 6… then what about the others?"
Suddenly, the Lord of Destruction, Dargoros, appeared in front of them. His face showed no sign of approval, only a stern warning.
"You may have won this round… but the next battle will be beyond anything you've faced before."
The Next Opponent – Universe 7
The Grandmaster of the Battle of Life Event stepped forward, announcing the next match.
"The next battle… will be against Universe 7."
The arena fell silent. The name Universe 7 carried a terrifying reputation.
Among the nine universes, Universe 7 was one of the strongest, their warriors known as The Celestial Destroyers of Chaos.
The leader of Universe 7, a tall, muscular man with long black hair and glowing crimson eyes, stepped forward. His golden armor radiated an energy far beyond mortal comprehension.
"I am Zeraphon, the King of Chaos. I hope you're ready… because the moment we fight, your universe will face true despair."
Extreme Training – Pushing Beyond Limits
Xypher and Arkan knew they were nowhere near strong enough to defeat Zeraphon and his warriors.
Dargoros crossed his arms. "You have five days before the battle. In those five days, I will put you through the most brutal training you've ever experienced. If you fail… then Universe 9 will fall."
Without another word, Dargoros transported them to a mystic time chamber, where time flowed differently—one day in the outside world equaled six months inside.
Day 1 – Understanding Their Weaknesses
Dargoros unleashed illusory warriors, each as strong as Kaizan and Veyra from Universe 6.
Xypher fought against endless Dungeon Fire Mod clones of himself, struggling to counter his own flames.
Arkan was forced to battle ocean-sized waves of water, testing his Ultra Water Mod to its limits.
Each time they lost, the pain felt real, their injuries carried over, and they were forced to start again.
Day 2 – Awakening the Next Stage
On the second day, Xypher finally found a flaw in his power. His Dungeon Fire Mod was strong, but it wasn't enough against absolute chaos energy.
He sat in deep meditation, recalling the words of Dargoros.
"You must create something beyond fire."
At that moment, Xypher's body exploded with energy. His flames changed color, shifting from dark red to radiant golden.
Arkan, watching, stepped back in shock. "Xypher… what the hell is that?"
Xypher opened his eyes, his body surrounded by golden flames.
"This… is the next stage."
He had achieved a new transformation: Infernal Sovereign Mode.
Meanwhile, Arkan wasn't falling behind. He had been meditating near a divine waterfall, seeking a way to enhance his water-based abilities.
The answer came in a vision. Water could not only destroy but also create.
With that realization, his Ultra Water Mod transformed into Abyssal Ocean Mod—a form where his body became one with the water, allowing him to manipulate the ocean at an absolute level.
Final Training – The War Against Chaos
On the final day, Dargoros himself stepped into the battlefield.
"Show me your strength."
Xypher clashed with Dargoros, his Infernal Sovereign Mode giving him unimaginable power, but even then, the Lord of Destruction overpowered him.
Arkan, using Abyssal Ocean Mod, created a massive tsunami infused with destruction energy, but Dargoros destroyed it with a single punch.
In the end, both of them lay on the ground, battered and broken.
Dargoros smirked. "You're stronger than before… but the real test begins now."
The Battle Against Universe 7 Begins
The day of the battle arrived. Xypher and Arkan stepped onto the battlefield, now stronger than ever before.
Across from them stood Zeraphon and his warriors.
The final battle between universes was about to begin… and only the strongest would survive.
To Be Continued…
