When he turned around, he saw a huge lightning bolt forming behind him, with all those previous bolts merging. There were over fifty bolts together. He wanted time to dodge, but...


    "Damn."


    Dante simply wanted to stop the oing blow, but he couldn''t. After all... "You''re not getting away, failure," Ethan said, advancing and attacking Dante with all he had.


    His advance came with a swift impulse, and Dante had no choice but to ignore what wasing from the sky to stop Ethan.


    Their fists met as the immense energy came from the sky. Dante was trying to focus, but gradually...


    "He''s tired of stealing energy from the surroundings, he''s stealing ours," came the voice of Alter-Dante as they exchanged heavy punches.


    "What is this feeling?" Dante thought, observing what was happening. His Sixth Sense began to buzz, as if... He was the prey.


    "I can''t concentrate," Dante remarked, and Alter confirmed, "He''s stealing your strength."


    "Damn! What a crappy feeling is this?" Dante inwardly shouted while defending against the increasingly heavy blows, as if the force doubled with each punch.


    "I won''t win?" He wondered, but... he heard himself. "Stop acting like prey, you are the pinnacle of all," said Alter-Dante, transmitting the sensation of power back to him.


    "And to think that a mere puppet demon of my sister was so strong!" Ethan said while punching Dante, who defended whenever possible.


    Dante quickly used the Walk Among mes to appear behind Ethan, but his speed had reached its limit, decreasing only as Greed drained him.


    "I''ve seen enough, failure," Ethan said, his body now nearly two meters tall, his hair ragged and reaching almost to his waist.


    "Are you scared?" He questioned, breaking Dante''s defense and hitting his face with full force.


    "In despair?" He questioned, delivering another punch that made Dante''s face bleed again.


    In the distance...


    "Dante..." Aldria murmured seeing that situation. Not only did she see it, Vex and Aaralyn were no different. "We need to help him!" Vex said, preparing to fly towards Ethan, but his arm was held. Not by Aaralyn or Aldria, but by another person.


    "It has begun," Voralith finally said, in a true body. A body that breathed and had a pulse. A body of flesh, a warm body. Her golden eyes looked at the man, and she felt his pulse. They were connected forever.


    "Just watch, the man who chose to love you," she said to Vex, who was left speechless.


    As they looked back at Dante again, they clearly heard his voice.


    "Who gave you permission to be so arrogant?" Dante questioned, holding Ethan''s head in a chokehold.


    With his strength, he broke Ethan''s neck, who fell to the ground.


    "Ah, how exhausting." Dante gasped as he began topose himself, after all, his heart started to feel the pains.


    "My body, I need energy," Dante said, looking at his hand,pletely white and lifeless. "All of you, get out of here!" Dante shouted. He had already sensed what wasing from the sky and knew there would be nothing left, but this gave him a new idea.


    "I''m starting to get tired of you." The body with the broken neck began to rise, ready for another round.


    "Ah, you''re annoying, you know?" Dante sighed, and before he could do anything, his body suffered a fatal wound.


    Ethan''s hands pierced him with a devastating blow based on electricity. "You let your guard down," he said.


    The women looked at that scene with teary eyes, however, Voralith simply followed his request and took all three of them, cing them in small golden barriers as she began to float away.


    The enormous mass of energy wasing, she already understood part of Dante''s n, he would use the energy to channel everything into a single point, to make Greed finally emerge from the cocoon and appear in the physical world.


    "This guy is strong, I''m getting chills near him." Dante thought as he saw him impaling his body.


    "Stop the drama, you''re not feeling anything, your body stopped functioning a long time ago," Alter-Dante said with a smile. "Haha, it''s good that he thinks he''s winning, right?" Dante saidughing, "sure, sure, as you wish."


    "So, you''re a pure demon." Ethan''s voice waspletely distorted as he lifted Dante''s body. "Why is a pure demon out of hell?" the voice questioned.


    "I came to avenge some people, kill others, take back some ces, take my beautiful wives, things living people do, you know? But Miss Greed, feel me." Dante said, but the voice disappeared.


    "Ah, dealing with inferior beings is hard." Dante said, and even with his chest being pierced by Ethan''s hands, he summoned his spear and cut off his arm, making him fall to the ground.


    "Let''s go, it''s time." Dante said as the huge meteor of lightning fell from the sky.


    The demonic energy in the lightning began to go out of control.


    While the climax of the fight between the strongest was happening, Nagasawa and Sara began the final phase of the n.


    "Why do we need to do this?" Nagasawa questioned Sara, who was in her base form again. "We need all the demonic energy we can get, these corpses will be enough," Saramented, facing the grotesque sight in front of her.


    Six thousand corpses of peoplepletely devastated by demonic energy, these people were contaminated to the point of purification being irreversible, even Sara, one of the "Virtues," couldn''t do anything about it, and that was scary for her, it was the first time she saw something like this, and honestly, she was starting to think this was too much.


    "Nagasawa." Sara called as she saw the huge green energy sphere in the sky, demonic energy enough to devastate the entire city. "Yes?" She questioned, seeing Sara''s expression.


    "If that man is Dante, you''ll call me the older sister." Saramented, without concern. "What?" Naga asked, seeing Sara''splicated expression.


    "It''sing." She said as she saw the corpses starting to dpose and apletely ck energy began to rise in the air, an energy that... seemed like hell itself.


    The sound stopped, as the enormous mass of energy fell on thebat site. And for a second, the whole world trembled.


    A fear so strong thatpletely devastated the city, the sense of terror deepened in everyone''s minds, even Sara, Nagasawa, and even... Morgana, felt fear.


    "Ah, it''s good that the world knows I''m back."
