Out of the Firmament's inner core, Konrad reappeared within the sky, staring at the ongoing clash from afar. Shadow served its first purpose by awakening. Before it fell back into torpor, someone else would make sure it served the second one.

Shifting his eyes from the battle, Konrad's Devil Sense toured the Firmament, locating all the lives and resources scattered within. Regretless' hiding place didn't escape him. And seeing the three bodies who once combined could instantly breed an Almighty, Konrad couldn't help but smile.

With a sweep of his golden sleeves, a kaleidoscope, pear-shaped fruit left the Firmament's Tree to rush toward him: a Firmament Fruit!

Konrad stretched out his right hand, releasing the full might of his High Supreme Will and Void Mirror Physique, to replicate a massive quantity of Firmament Fruits! Due to the Firmament Fruits' unique attributes, even if they wished to, other Infiniteness and All-Transcendent Supremes couldn't achieve this feat.

Only Konrad could. Of course, in the grand scheme of things, Firmament Fruits no longer seemed that important. After all, all knew that the true determining point of this war was the might of the leaders!

Whoever reached the summit between Konrad and Celestial Slaughter would lead his faction to eternal sovereignty! Firmament Fruits could affect neither. Still, Konrad replicated more than 376,000 Fruits! And hiding them in his seemingly boundless sleeves, he shot toward the battlefield!

…

Meanwhile, war raged in the Firmament's ever-glorious sky.

Yvonne alone faced Dragon Dark and Asmodeus, who reinforced by their defensive formation, resisted her dreadful blows. At the same time, Krann challenged the Evil Regretless, but could only fight him to a standstill. By their sides, Else traded moves with the Dragon Kings, Verena with the Dao Paragons, Gulistan with the Tribulation Envoys, Selene and Rati with the Undying Blood Monarchs!

The Warden, Cacillia, Heide, Moon, Astarte, Jasmine, Iliana, Nils, and other leading consorts led their Valkyrie troops against the Grey Soul Hurricane to dig a hole in the formation's eye and shatter the Void Dragon Army's defenses!

And as the Void Dragons showed signs of faltering, the Tribulation Demon Guard didn't have it better!

*BANG*

While Krann contained the Evil Body, alongside the 12 Dukes, Helmut, Ube, and Elia led the orders in a massive charge, and in an explosion of Heart Tribulations and Anti-Godheads, battered the Tribulation Demon Guard's black sun!

Dark-purple lightning and gargantuan Anti-Godheads filled the Firmament's sky, bypassing the Almighty tier formation to target the men driving it. One after the other, they faltered, crushed by the weight of their existence, and the devouring power of the Anti-Godheads!

*CRACK*

The first gap opened; seizing the opportunity, Wolfgang, Hubert and Berken broke free of their troops and dived in! Unlike the Void Dragon Armies, the Tribulation Demon Guard was perfectly killable. The three Chthonian Dragon Dukes first targeted the strongest generals under Regretless' banner, and as they struggled to reinforce the formation, they hacked at their lives!

Wolfgang's battle-ax, Hubert and Berken's swords, erupted with All-Transcendence as they tore Regretless' chief generals to shreds, moving through his troops like blurs and exterminating the leadership!

In battles of that magnitude, the split of a second was more than enough for massive casualties to rain on one side. As the only ones with flawed immortality, the Tribulation Demon Guards were the weak link the Chthonian Forces planned to exploit! But at that time, the Evil Regretless' lips curved into a fiendish grin!

"Dao Law: Vindictive Retribution!"

The Evil Body bellowed, and instantly, those dozens of fallen experts' collapsing remains turned into pitch-black squalls of fell might, screaming at the three dukes as if cursing them for their demise!

Trapped in the fell squalls, Hubert, Wolfgang and Berken felt their strength drop at a rapid space while their very existence eroded under the Vindictive Retribution's corrosion!

"Hahaha! Trading a few wastes for the lives of three of the four strongest dukes, now this is what I call a bargain!"

The Evil Regretless guffawed, and with a kick, broke free of Krann to mend the crack. Indeed, he'd let it open purposefully, planning to use it at his advantage to cripple some of Konrad's most trusted legs.

Seeing this, Krann arched an eyebrow.

"How incomparably wicked. Is this all the lives of your followers from eons amount to?"

He couldn't help but ask. But hearing this, the Evil Regretless sneered in glaring disdain.

"Do not mistake me for my waste other self. I am the Tribulation Demon. In my eyes, all things are sacrificable tools. Their death, worth it if it can help me achieve my fell ends! As for you, familiar, you can scram!"

The Evil Body raised his hands, making the might of his pressure skyrocket as he channeled the powers of the Neutral and Good bodies to achieve False Almighty strength! At his back, the formation too morphed, going from a lone black sun to a black flame giant with three heads and six arms! At the giant's back the same black sun reformed, releasing the true might of the Almighty Formation!

But at that time, Krann's lips curved into a smile.

"Now!"

Krann exclaimed in a mental message, but the targets needn't hear it. As his voice echoed, they'd already made their move, acting in tandem to release a force the Evil Body knew nothing of:

"Monarch Will!"

Blinding dark-purple light burst from within the black giant, shattering the black squalls trapping the dukes, and stretching across the 30,000 troops maintaining the formation alongside the Heavenly Demon Tablet!

In that instant, they grew dazed, their minds collapsing as they all, without exception turned into Devil Puppets!

In that same instant, Hubert, Wolfgang, and Berken stretched their indexes at the Heavenly Demon Tablet, releasing their Monarch Wills in dark-purple rays that nailed it from three angles!

"EEEEEEEEE!"

An eerie, screeching sound rippled from the tablet, hacking at the eardrums of all on the scene! The Evil Body realized the ploy, alas, it was far too late!

*BAM*

The impossible occurred. The link between the Heavenly Demon Tablet and Regretless collapsed. The sentient artifact rejecting him once and for all to submit to the dominion of the three late-stage Devil Monarchs!

"NOOOOOOOO!"

The Evil Body bellowed and spun to unleash an irresistible strike at the three dukes. Alas, before he could make a move, his very formation turned against him, releasing flurries of black flames that forced him back!

Alongside the 30,000 Tribulation Demon Guards and the Heavenly Demon Tablet, Hubert, Wolfgang, and Berken guided the black flame giant to, alongside Krann, counterattack Regretless!

Dark-purple rays shot from the 360,000 orderlies and their leaders, uniting with the three dukes to bring the formation to a new peak! Trapped front and rear, the Evil Body could only recoil!
