Staggering, Regretless took four steps backward before stabilizing himself.
"Spurting blood already? I guess old age spares none. I'd recommend you a good hematologist, but I'm afraid those able to treat your condition didn't survive the Empyrean."
Konrad chortled while Regretless suppressed his internal chaos. When back to rationality, Konrad's words were facts he'd hypothesize. No, he knew them true but didn't want to acknowledge them or the implications they carried.
And now bashed with the reality he denied for eons, even for him, the blow was hard to bear.
Crimson lightning erupted from his form while the might of his inscrutable powers unfurled.
"This Sovereign will erase you…once and for all!"
Regretless pledged and stretched out his right hand toward Konrad. Indeed, when Transcendent Beings were concerned, the term "kill" no longer applied. The only way to end their existence was to erase it altogether.
And throughout the Omniverse, only two still possessed that ability. The trapped Dharma Lord, and Regretless, of course. However, even before Regretless' impending strike, Konrad remained undisturbed.
The scenery changed, and the two landed in a world of endless sea. The sky was a sea, the earth was a sea. In fact, aside from the place they stood in, everything lied within that endless sea.
"No you won't. Rancid idiot."
Konrad replied without an ounce of fear.
"As our dear Dharma Lord said, this is the place where the three Supreme Forces gather in one. On this day that I build my bridge with the Almighty as my witness, you have no right to run amok before me, and interfere with my moment.
First, go cultivate some more."
Konrad's snide rang within Regretless' eardrums but fell on deaf ears.
"You underestimate This Sovereign. Even the Almighty Will of this realm cannot protect the one This Sovereign wishes to eradicate!"
Regretless proclaimed and stretched out his hands, causing the crimson tribulation lighting around him to morph into a crimson bow. He bent the bow, aiming it at Konrad's face and forming a crimson arrow, the same crimson arrow that ended the Empyrean.
But from the bottom of the endless sea, an immaculate bridge rose to tear through the vault of heavens. Konrad and Regretless both found themselves on this bridge which seemed able to shoulder all within creation.
The endless sea roared and gathered a gargantuan force that threatened to obliterate all throughout the omniverse. But now, that force aimed solely at Regretless. Yet, he didn't care, and still arched his bow!
This was a development Konrad was glad to see. If there was one thing he learned within his first incarnation, it was that while Regretless was ordinarily a shrewd man able to hatch plans that stretched across eons, he possessed one fatal flaw:
