"PLAN B"

Akuma groaned in pain, his body melting gradually. 'He completely ignored my technique. He must have concluded the transcendence process Whispers of a Fated End slowed down. This fast? This is bad. This is very bad.'

Akuma's Konkyuu began to melt as well, finally giving in to the phenomenon of hell's flames. Ihann attempted to activate the technique: Gluttony, but he was quickly answered by celestial bolts of lightning through the throat and gut.

Ihann was knocked unconscious, but Owari pressed on, engulfing his entire body in hell's flames. He burned through the annals of time in an attempt to find a loophole in the Time Core's technique.

'Come on, man!' Owari roared in his inner thoughts, driving his spirit. "Yakeru (Burn)!"

The flames intensity increased, and in a feat that was nothing short of divine, Owari broke through the Konkyuu/Zenkai dimension.
