Profane Prince of Domination

That the Warden would make a move before the end of this show gave Konrad no surprise. After all, Heaven's future was at stake. However, so what? Today, even if the Warden and the Overlord joined forces, Konrad dared battle them both. As the light orb containing Heaven's strongest descended before him, Konrad arched his head back, and with his usual roguish grin peered deep into that light orb where a silver mist concealed the face of his foe.

"I'm afraid the Three Realm's beauties can't accept such a result. But I suppose a billions of years old virgin monk can't understand their plight. Why don't I turn you into a lady to help you grasp it?"

Konrad leisurely replied, causing the figure within the light orb to arch an eyebrow. In its billions of years of existence, only Chandra dared make such comments in its presence, and he paid dearly for it. Was this junior so conceited as to think he could defeat The Warden within Heaven?

But before Heaven's Herald could reply, tongues hellfire filled Heaven's sky, challenging the Warden's radiance while the stench of brimstone permeated the atmosphere and assailed the nostrils of all below. Before those flames, before that scent, all lives throughout Heaven quivered and even the Warden's presence didn't ease their surging fright.

"Do you need my help?"

A voice came from the swirling tongues of hellfire, a hoarse voice Konrad was quite familiar with, and as it echoed, the figure within the black flames lowered his eyes on him. And what he saw startled shocked him to the core of his soul!

"It's you?"

Hell's Law Enforcer, the Overlord, inquired from within the sky while the tongues of hellfire coalesced in the figure of an old man dressed in jet-black battle-armor. If not for the wrinkles his features would be seventy-percent similar to that of Selene's father, Marduk.

"Old pal, long time no see. Missed me?"

Konrad chortled while rising higher into the sky to stand at the same level as his new foes. With the consternation written all over his face, anyone could see that the Overlord wasn't unfamiliar with the Chthonian Primogen's facial features. The fact filled the Warden with puzzlement.

"You know him?"

The clouded Warden inquired in a mental message that snapped the Overlord out of his torpor.

"How could I not? He's Talroth's youngest son."

The Overlord replied with disbelief lacing his tone. And who could blame him? Even the Warden couldn't believe the words.

"How can this be? You're trying to tell me that Talroth's nephilim scion is THE Chthonian Primogen?"

"Nephilim? When did he become a Nephilim? Last I checked, he clearly was a demon boy."

As the Higher Realms' leaders exchanged outdated intel, the Essence Nurturing Forest's dwarf tree thrived on the spilled Primogen blood to expand and morph into a new entity. Feeling the change, the Warden abandoned the aimless topic to return to the pressing matter.

"Never mind. Now, none of this matters. For the sake of Heaven and Hell's will, we must slay this junior, and end the threat of the Chthonian Realm. Leave no room for mistakes and take him down at the fastest pace!"

The Warden proclaimed and stepped forward, causing wild tremors to fill heaven and earth as the full might of the herald's cultivation erupted. Right beside his peer, the Overlord nodded in approval and stepped forward.

"How many eons has it been since the two of us cooperated to slay one expert? Never did I expect that the dissolute Supremacy-seeking brat could come so far. A pity...that his existence goes against Hell's Laws!"

Clenching his fists, the Overlord let his cultivation base explode alongside the Warden's, and even before the two made a move, Heaven's trillions of lives believed a world-ending calamity had descended upon them.

The Overlord stretched out his right hand, aiming it at Konrad while the Warden's fingers bent in incantation gestures.

"Boy, congratulations on coming so far, but the Three Realms do not allow the existence of anomalies such as yourself. Since you insist on courting destruction, allow me to obliterate you...with the might of an Overgod!

Awaken, and enforce my will: Infernal Dominion!"

The Overlord bellowed, causing a three meters long jet-black scepter to appear in an eruption of demonic energies and land in his palm. At the same time, his skin changed, going from white to pitch-black, while his body expanded, rising to ten meters in height, three pairs of black wings sprouted from his back, and three pairs of curved, demonic horns emerged from his forehead.

His sclera assumed the same black, and his eyes, a flaming red that shimmered with endless infernal might.

"Ancestral Glory: Realm of Eternal Peace!"

At the same time, the scenery changed as the Warden summoned the Brahma's Ancestral Glory. The world became an idyllic land of thirty-three floating islands on top of which various creatures stood in harmony. The Essence Nurturing Forest vanished from the onlookers' sight, and in their eyes, green lush prairies replaced the chaotic world. Konrad saw himself taking turns on the floating islands, exploring the peaceful paradises while the need to surrender to peace assailed his mind...or attempted to.

With a wave of his hand, he broke the spell and soared into the sky, becoming billowing black fog above which his Devil Rings still stood. All the negativity throughout the Celestial World gathered within the rings, allowing them to expand to respectively ten and thirty kilometers.

Black lightning crackled from their shanks, snaking toward the rings' center to become a gargantuan orb of negativity!

"Grand Devil Trident!"

*BOOOM*

The orb released a black, nefarious trident of pure fell energies that tore through the sky as it barreled into the Overlord and the Warden.

"Heaven of the Thirty Three!"

"Dao Law: Broken Fate Claws!"

The Warden and the Overlord exclaimed in succession. The Thirty-three floating islands became celestial mountains with thirty-two swirling around a thirty-third, the center of them all. Their celestial energies intertwined and overlapped before they soared in an organized formation toward Konrad's Trident.

Meanwhile, berserk Fate Laws erupted from the Overlord, gathering the energies released by all the broken fates across the Celestial World into thousands of grey claws that shot toward Konrad, attempting to drive him into that same end!
