1018 No Regret

"You numbskull, we could've killed that old bitch if we spared a few more minutes." The Undead growled with disdain as Thunder King rushed out of the spaceship and into a secret realm with a teleportation formation to Neptune.

They found this during this long war and thankfully, it's going to help them during this critical time.

"Irene won't be a variable. Even without us, Despair Queen will hold her off good. But Varian, I can't be at ease if that bastard isn't killed." Thunder King bellowed.

The Undead clenched his jaw tight as Varian's face flashed in his mind. A tingle of fear he didn't want to acknowledge shot up his spine and his mind flooded him with the ridiculous things Varian might do if left unchecked.

Amidst the Undead's contemplations, the teleportation formation activated and the space around them twisted. Right then, his bracelet rang with a message.

"Son of a bitch!" The Undead cursed and tried to get out of the formation. It didn't yield. So, he punched down.

The space stopped fluctuating and the cracks appeared on the formation before it went off with a purrr.

"The hell?" Thunder King nearly punched him in the gut.

"He's not on Neptune anymore." The Undead swiped his bracelet and a hologram popped up.

A sea of red flames lit up the dark space as it surged like tsunami, burning everything in sight. The metal scraps, the debris, asteroids and even the remnants of corpses all melted away under the unforgiving fire. The flood of red fire collided with a considerably dim blue flames.

The flames fought off each other as they tried to devour each other. It's like watching two snakes fighting as the flames slithered, expanded and contracted around each other trying to swallow their counterpart.

In the background, a human with wings of fire was fleeing. But even as he exerted all his strength, shimmering dark blue icicles chased after him.

He dodged most of the attacks but some struck him in the shoulder and back, forming a thick layer of ice.

Even a peak level 9 would've frozen to death from that ice but the man's body lit up with flames and with considerable effort, he managed to melt away the ice.

But doing so took the fire mana that he otherwise would've put to power up his blue flames and fight off the Fire King's red flames.

Now, not only was his own sea of fire growing weaker, taking injuries, however small. And in the past three hours, he spent all the healing potions he could and prevented his condition from deteriorating into a dangerous state.

But the potions were over a while ago and the injuries were starting to accumulate.

It didn't feel much at first. Just a small cut on the arm. His healing would take care of it. But then came another cut nearby. And then another. And another.

Before he realized, his entire back was filled with cuts and blood was literally flooding out of his body.

"I told everyone something like this is gonna happen." Micheal Caron was a pessimist to the core. But when his worst fears came true, he's calmer than everyone else.

"If I'm going to die, I might as well take down these two with me." He glanced at his archenemy and then turned to the simpleton zombie which once again fired a bunch of icicles at him.

Thankfully, this creature didn't have much intelligence or he'd have been dead by now.

"Grand Immolation." Micheal Caron's body lit up in flames and a strong wave of fire swept from him.

Turning into fire himself, the Sovereign dashed forward. In a breath, he grabbed the Zombie and dragged it to the Fire King.

The Zombie growled and shot him with icicles. They passed through his fire body without doing any harm, proving that the Zombie was indeed stupid.

'I can kill ten of you in my elemental form but I can't afford to maintain it while I'm fighting this son of a bitch.' Micheal Caron cursed as he stared at Fire King who was suddenly looking at him with apprehension.

As expected of his archenemy, he figured it out.

But Micheal didn't give him anytime. Like a bullet, he break through the sea of flames and reached the Abyssal ruler.

"Wai—"

The space went dark as the red and blue flames were almost instantly sucked into the Sovereign. The flames were compressed to a dangerous point along with Micheal's own aura and reached a tipping point.

The space shook as a blinding explosion rocked the planetoids and spaceships nearby. Bright red fires, intertwined with blue soared across the sky as they swallowed everything in their wake.

At the center of the explosion, the simpleton zombie sovereign was burnt to ashes.

Micheal Caron was on his last breath but his eyes were full of regret as he stared at the heavily injured abyssal in front.

"Haa!" Fire King gasped even as blood spilled out from the many injuries all over his body.

He only survived because Micheal's aura was significantly lowered by the battle. If not…

Fire King shook his head and stared down at his enemy, teetering on the edge of death. "I…I have the last laugh."

Micheal Caron had no strength to even shoot a reply. His vision was already growing dark and his consciousness was falling apart.

But the regretful look in his eyes changed just before he breathed his last. Instead, he died with what almost looked like a smile.

"Huh?" Fire King's senses screamed danger and he tried to jump away.

But his injured body slowed him down and an ice spear pierced from the back of his head and exploded his skull into pieces.

Varian regarded the Sovereign who died a peaceful expression on his face. 'That look…he definitely saw me in the last moment.'

He didn't know what to feel. Had he been a second early, this man might've been saved. And if he was a second late, he'd have died with regret, thinking his sacrifice had been useless.

'Never mind. I can only do what I believe is right.' Varian threw the abyssal and zombie corpses into a compartment and carefully placed the late Sovereign's body in a special room.

"Master, Thunder King and the Undead have left Uranus and are heading towards Neptune." Boo said in a hurry. "Master, the billions on Neptune aren't evacuated yet. They're in danger!"

"They won't go after Neptune." Varian said confidently. "They'll come after me. Upload a video of this battle to the meta net."

Just as Varian predicted, Thunder King and Undead Leader abandoned Neptune and rushed after him.

And with not so good intentions, Varian revealed his target.

"I'm going to Venus, come stop me if you can."

The two Sovereigns knew Varian was revealing his location to stop them from attacking the planets. But even if they knew, they still did what he intended.

Varian would rather not see another planet slaughter while the two would rather not see the human breathing.

With the unspoken consensus, Varian reached Venus after a few minutes, only to find Water Queen slaughter the human army on planetoid. In the far distance was a woman's corpse eaten by a zombie sovereign.

Varian felt his insides lurch at the horrendous sight and he yelled. "Stop!"
