Void Evolution System

Chapter 1867  War [9]

As he approached, he saw that man kneeling in the sky.

"O, God. Please lend me your strength so I may slay this mighty foe."

His opponent had been waiting for him to approach. Now that a war like this was underway, they were fated to clash.

Dante Void and his greatest enemy, the cosmos' traitor, Malevalon Straea.

"Pathetic."

Dante sneered. This kind of ritual obviously had meaning since power was flowing into Malevalon's body, but it was clearly done at this very moment to mock him.

Even Malevalon knew that he was never strong enough to directly face Dante. In the first place, he and his people were only able to catch him after breaking the cosmic laws and infiltrating the lower universe, where they seized him before he could grow into his full strength.

Otherwise, how could someone like Malevalon possibly challenge a man who partially controlled Existence?

Malevalon was stronger now, but he was still not certain about fighting Dante. He didn't know what level the man had reached, but his aura radiated much more powerfully than ever before. Dante's fight with Damien helped him a lot. Though it was embarrassing to admit, his son taught him more about Existence than he was ever able to learn on his own.

Damien kickstarted his father's path. He was finally able to take the step that was originally impossible for him because his only element was space.

Malevalon would have been killed in an instant if he was fighting on his own, but his current form was nothing more than a puppet of the Dark God.

The energy that surrounded him was not his own. It belonged to another entity. "You're sacrificing your own vitality for the sake of this battle. As always, you go to unreasonable lengths for the stupidest reasons," Dante spat with a sigh.

"Dante, why would you talk to me like that? This is our first reunion in such a long time! It should be a happy moment! We should celebrate!" Malevalon responded.

He was twitching. His body clearly wasn't responding well to the foreign energy, but he was accepting it regardless. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

His speech became slurred and his attitude changed immensely from his usual stoic self.

Dante almost felt like he wasn't facing the person he'd spent all these years waiting to kill.

However, the two men were one and the same.

The change in Malevalon was merely the result of the path he was walking. Dante was forced to accept that the things he desired were far in the past.

He had been captured and too many years were allowed to flow without his presence. Malevalon was defeated and defeated and defeated. Facing Damien, he couldn't find victory at any step. When he finally escaped into the Sacred Abyss and truly became a part of the Dark God, he felt a sort of ecstasy that he'd never known.

That was the source of the change.

The energy that turned him mad also contributed.

Dante shook his head. Engaging in conversation with this version of Malevalon would amount to nothing. It was best to just kill him and end the lifelong debt that was plaguing his mind.

Dante raised his arm to attack, but as if he was waiting for that moment, Malevalon did the same.

BOOOOOOOM!

Two types of energy clashed between them, throwing both of their bodies back.

Dante's was a special kind of Existence. Meanwhile, Malevalon used a chaotic energy that seemed to be mocking Nonexistence.

Still, the sheer power of the Dark God's energy filled the gap and allowed Malevalon to clash directly with his foe.

'Perhaps this is for the best.' Dante thought as he observed the clash.

It felt like he was fighting Malevalon and the Dark God at the same time. He had no qualms with settling his grudges all at once.

Dante's eyes changed when he viewed the battle through that lens. He was a bit passive during the first collision with his spirit dampened, but he gained it all back in an instant.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

From a slow start, they rapidly moved into a fast-paced battle.

Dante's base law was space. The way he controlled Existence mimicked that of his spatial laws.

The starry sky itself became his weapon. On one hand, it turned physical and attacked Malevalon with a huge aura of deadly spatial mana. On the other hand, the concept itself came alive and started to constrict around the enemy, forcing him to bear the brunt of any force Dante decided to employ. This collision wasn't actually that important in the grand scheme of things. Malevalon didn't matter much, and while Dante was extremely powerful, he was only participating in this singular battle.

As someone with no real enemies on this battlefield, he would catch the Dark God's attention if he did too much. Of course, distracting the Dark God was a good thing, but it wasn't worth it if it led to the deaths of everyone who was currently fighting.

Even Dante had to remember it. The Dark God could wipe out their entire army in a single instant if he wanted to. Dante was here only to settle his grudge. In this war that he was originally planning to avoid for the aforementioned reasons, he only appeared because of his son's convincing.

Standing here now, he realized how right Damien was.

No matter how long it had been, getting closure was still extremely important.

'Jeez…my son is so far past me that it's almost shameful.'

He was always the one being taught. But, that same reason was the source of his pride in the child he helped conceive.

Speaking of…

His wives were both participating in this battle. Serena was on the back line managing all of the formations being applied at every moment, but Claire was on the forefront with him.

Compared to him, she definitely had more worth.

After all, the enemy she fought, just like Meryon, was an individual who absolutely needed to be defeated.

And…it was not necessarily an individual at all.

Claire was having an experience that was rare on a cosmic scale. Regardless of how one traveled through the Void, one would find only a handful of people who'd done the same.

Her son was one of those people.

Claire's opponent was a Spiritual God. An incarnation of pure evil that was like the Dark God's shadow.

The Dark God cared about Dante more. However, he wanted to kill Dante personally after dealing with his son.

For his wife, naturally, the most deadly of forces had to be prepared.

The Dark God wasn't just aiming for the destruction of Damien or Dante. No, he wanted the entire Void Clan and all of their associates to suffer to the extreme.

Nobody could say why. However, that hostility was obvious.

Claire was facing it more than anyone else. Unlike the relatively even battles that were taking place elsewhere, her match had the odds stacked against her.

However, Claire was also in a state like never before. This time, she was ready.

She would not allow the Dark God to tear her family apart for a second time.
