The pair inside the crystals would find their efforts fruitless, the crystal automatically regenrating what they managed to cut through while at the same time actually expanding and getting thicker, leaving them to suffocate within their airtight crystalline prison. As for the spears within the Gates, Zak would find that once they entered he could no longer feel his constructs as they were literally seperated by the fabric of reality. Only the strongest of connections could be felt once something has entered the Gates of Tartarus, such as Juno's impossibly strong bond with her sword when she managed to break the Gates so long ago at the forge. But the spears that began to go around the Gates was another thing entirely, Henry had to work to avoid those. Which wasn't saying much. The pure heat he had absorbed was immense at this point, with Henry converting most of it into energy for himself to do ridiculous things such as flashstepping. Henry would disappear, reappear in some lounged pose a few yards away, disappear again, and so on. Every furious strike Zak let loose Henry would parry with a bored air about him, this fight has somehow been one of the toughest of his life yet without any banter or conversation between the two it just felt stale.

Zak summoned some sort of Lava Dragon, or perhaps he himself was the dragon. Who cares. Henry stared down the dragon as it breathed it's impossibly hot fire, practically a laser at this point really. Henry sighed and opened the Gates of Tartarus below him, time for his trump card. Time seemed to freeze for a moment as the Gate actually bulged, the sheer power of what Henry was about to release struggling to fit through the small hole in reality that the Gate was comprised of.  But it came out, a laser made of collapsed particles and radiation created by the Vassal of Space herself, Juno the World Snake. It cut straight through the fire, and it would likely cut straight through the dragon as well. All would bow before the might of infinity, it's why Henry had saved the laser for a special occasion such as this. As Henry let Juno's might clash with Zak's he wondered to himself where the hell everyone was? This was probably the biggest event happening on this planet let alone this battlefield, yet nobody else had even tried to get in on the action. It wasn't like they were the highest level combatants here, there was probably somebody around here who could match Zak and Henry in terms of sheer power. Hell even if they were there was probably some Machina or Demon that could just sneak attack the two of them and fuck them over royally while they weren't paying attention.

[color=steelblue]"Are you gonna keep up the temper tantrum for long? Because I have better people I could be fighting. People who would actually talk to me and make things interesting. If anyone should be mad here it's me, you blew up my dogs yet you don't see me flying into a blind rage upon seeing you."[/color] Henry calmly lifted up his hand as Mjolnir finally returned to him, catching it with one hand. It's return course had it flying straight through saber Zak from behind as it returned to it's master of course. Whether he had dodged it or it tore through him like a bullet through wet paper was entirely up to his reaction speed. Meanwhile Henry's other hand was lazily twirling the Cheater's Blade at ridiculous speeds, cutting through the very magic that bound together each spear that tried to hit him, ceasing any possible explosion before it could even happen.
