'Hold on,'I mumbled to myself.
As I reveled in my overwhelming advantage, a sudden jolt of danger disrupted my enjoynt.
Surge of intense danger sent shivers down my spine, instantly locking up every muscle in my body. My mind kicked into overdrive, racing like a Jet fighter. Ti itself seed to stretch as everything around slowed to a crawl.
'Where is he?' I muttered to myself, my pupils darting around in very high speed manner in this slowed-down ti. I had actually used teleportation, but it was only a milliter movent, just enough to trigger the slow-motion mode.
I had been closely monitoring Zhang, but he disappeared into thin air, as if he'd never existed. Even my pets, couldn't catch him; he had vanished almost instantly.
Ironically , all my lingering questions were soon answered.
A sudden jolt of wind blast towards my abdon.
Reacting with all the speed I could muster, I activated a small portion of the Aegis shield around . However, it wasn't quick enough, even though I had triggered it the mont I realized he had vanished.
BOOOOOOM!
Pain surged through as a powerful punch landed, shattering my imperfect shield and catching off guard.
"Fuck!!!" I groaned in pain, activating all my Life-Saving Skills and Serenity Surge in one go.
I was prepared for a fight to the death, but not to bite the dust this quickly. What the hell was that attack?
Did he teleport? Or was he so fast that even my eyes couldn't detect him? It was illogical; even Rei i generates so telltale signs of her movents, but I didn't sense anything from him until it was too late.
Intense pain gripped , and I struggled to regain control of the situation, my mind racing to comprehend the nature of the unexpected strike.
But before I could processed anything —
"Fucker!" I cursed out loud.
He was already on top of my body, which, by the way, was still airborne from being thrown away by his first attack.
His fist closed for a punch, surrounded by golden lightning aura that cloaked his entire body. Even his eyes were glowing in a shimring shade of gold.
Right now, he resembled an angel of light with that golden effect, while I felt like the devil being punished for my wickedness.
But this ti, my Aegis was already activated. Alongside my Telekinesis, a defensive barrier enveloped my entire body as I braced myself for his attack.
BOOOOOOOM!
His punch landed ; my protective shield shattered into pieces. However, that split second was enough for to vibrate and reappear right behind him.
"You think you're the only one who can move fast?" I sneered in contempt.
'Titan Gear! Rapid Strike!'
I activated two skills at the sa ti, and my fists cascaded down like a relentless rain, each punch a precision drop in a storm of rapid strikes.
BOOOOOOOM!
BOOOOOOOM!
BOOOOOOOM!
BOOOOOOOM!
BOOOOOOOM!
BOOOOOOOM!
BOOOOOOOM!
BOOOOOOOM!
BOOOOOOOM!
The air exploded from the sheer force of my punches, each strike delivered with such speed that I lost count of the blows.
But instead of enjoying my show of power, irritation overca .
Unfazed, Zhang responded with his own flurry of punches. It beca a mixed of motion, the clash of our fists resonating through the air. His movents were precise, each punch strategically aid to intercept and neutralize my attack.
We kept throwing punches back and forth, turning the battlefield into a fierce fistfight that seed to move faster than it should. Each hit shook , and no matter how hard I tried, gaining control in this intense brawl proved to be a tough challenge.
"Let's see if you can take this," a smile ford on my face. Before my skill duration ended, I used my vibration ability to amplify the intensity and speed of my punch.
BOOOOOOOM!
BOOOOOOOM!
BOOOOOOOM!
BOOOOOOOM!
This ti, I took the upper hand, and he began to go on the defensive.
But how could I waste this opportunity? While I did ntion going easy on him, close combat was my old style, so I might as well experint with so combinations.
Little by little, I began incorporating real boxing skills into my attacks. For any onlookers, it might seem like nothing changed since I was punching at speeds faster than the naked eye could perceive.
But, for the two of us, with our reaction tis slowing down our perspective, the battle unfolded in a much longer and more detailed manner.
I must admit he was really strong. If we had fought before my upgrade and getting the girls' skills, he could probably have killed in one punch.
"A gap," I finally spotted an opening.
Next thing he knew, three invisible punches connected in his abdon, sending him crashing downward through the air.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
The impact echoed like a teorite crash as his body collided with the ground. The sheer force of the blow reverberated through the surroundings, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake.
"H—He actually took down Master Zhang?" One of the Cerebrum agents eyes widened with horror.
The shock on their faces revealed that they had banked on him being their ace in the hole. I couldn't bla them; the old , pre-upgrade, was 100% sure to lost against him.
"That was a good pre-workout," I chuckled, my arrogant voice echoing through the air as I acted cool and composed. Little did they know, that first punch had contemplating an early retirent from the whole "super-villain" gig.
"I give him 6/10," I added with a sly smile.
They looked at with a complex expression, their thoughts seemingly tangled in a web of disbelief and fear.
'Hey, why are you looking at like that? It's not like I just defeated the strongest Gifted,' I thought to myself.
Sure, he was strong, but during our fight, it never occurred to that he could be the absolute strongest. Maybe he was rank 10?
"It's not over yet," Helena declared with a sarcastic smile playing on her lips. Her face radiated confidence, which I found really annoying.
