Entirety

"You…" Shen's words caused Adam to feel a brief sense of anger before calming down and eventually laughing. "It doesn't matter. I was worried slightly due to the fact your popularity outdoes my own. But now that we've seen you're a human, we can get rid of that issue. A single announcement should do just fine."

Without his reputation, even if Shen went public, no one would hate them for it. "From the rumors, I was expecting him to look more impressive." Reolin, the Branch Leader of the White Fang's Atlas branch, chuckled to himself. He was a very large man with a wide build, seemingly in his forties.

The other was Rajah, the Branch Leader of Vacuo's White Fang, who was a sharp-eyed tan man. His entire body was adorned with luxuries like gold and jewels. Using Inspect, Shen learned to his surprise, that Tealle was stronger than them. "Indeed, I heard he was a demon on the battlefield with incredible abilities beyond those of a Semblance. But he's just a boy."

Hearing their comments, Shen did not refute them and instead gestured with his finger. "The chance to make the first move is still yours." Hearing him, Rajah held his hand up to his mouth. "As if we would deal with you ourselves. So foolish." Adam raised his hand, pointing as Shen. "Kill him." Under his orders, the White Fang behind the three of them fell into action.

Each group belonging to a branch were all the highest authority besides their individual Branch Leaders. Seeing all of them preparing to fall into action, she glanced towards the four from her Branch. 'Idiots…' She didn't say anything as her eyes drifted away from the scene. All of them drew their weapons as they rushed through Shen, preparing to attack all at once.

'Let's see…' Shifting his footing, Shen saw five of them jump into the air above him. They were fast, easily beyond the level of your average Huntsman. Their weapons had the unique color of multiple types of Dust coming from them as Shen backstepped. Using the Goro Goro No Mi in assistance practically instantly retreated twenty meters.

An explosion erupted from where he was standing as massive ice crystals formed a ring while fire erupted into the air. Multiple other types of dust effects followed the explosion, absolutely destroying the area they all struck. 'Five there.'

"Heh, you're not getting away!" Hearing a voice at his side, Shen's eyes casually glanced to his right. Having large metal glove's over his hands, one of them, who had outsped the others, struck him at his side. Flipping Gae Bolg in his hands, he blocked the strike being sent sliding to the right. 'One there.'

"Looks like he's having trouble fighting back. Although I have to admit it's impressive, he's holding his own at all." Reolin spoke with his arms crossed, and Adam simply watched with a grin on his face. 'Another four over here.' Using Gae Bolg to launch himself into the air, Shen dodged four more attacks.

"He's quick on his feet. Surround him, don't let him escape!" The remaining six still closing in on Shen as he landed on the ground coordinated their attacks. Surrounding him on all sides, they attacked all at once. 'And these six make sixteen. That shouldn't be too draining.' Attacking as they had Shen surrounded, they aimed to kill.

However, as if in a sudden shift, Shen's speed exploded. Swinging Gae Bolg around his neck, It cut into the chest of two of his attackers. Blood splattered onto the ground as they both grit their teeth, forced to retreat. At the same time, with both hands-frees, he launched two strikes. Both punches landed directly on target, causing their victim's eyes to bulge as their faces twisted in pain.

"Crap" The remaining two watched as their attacks were quickly dodged as Shen faked a counter-attack. All six immediately pulled back together, with four in pain and the other two relatively fine. "Looks like you were holding back. You are a lot better than we thought." One of the two Gae Bolg had left a gash on was clutching his chest while speaking.

Staring at the one who spoke, Shen replied with a smile. "Well, thanks for acknowledging that. It took a lot of effort to get you all to line up so close together." A sudden activation followed Shen's words. Piercing through their feet, Life Fiber's anchored the sixteen Branch Commanders in place.

"What the hell?"

"I can't move!"

"When did he…"

All of them struggled, but there was no point. They couldn't cut Shen's Life Fibers even if they had days to do so. In Shen's eyes, although they were apart and slightly off, every last one of them was in a fairly direct line in front of him. Every time he dodged or took a step, he took, he left Life Fibers behind. Just enough to anchor down whoever stepped on them.

"This move doesn't cost a lot of Mana, nor is it that exhausting. But using it sixteen times in a row would be a waste if some of you escaped out of range." Holding Gae Bolg, an intensive red aura began to envelop it along with Shen. "What is he doing?" Watching Rajah felt an inherent chill as Adam's eyes contracted and he yelled.

"All of you move!" However, his yells were useless. Leaping forward, Shen rushed towards all of them. "He's coming!" They immediately tried to raise their guard despite not being able to move. "It's already over... Gae Bolg!" From the outside, everything happened in a matter of seconds. It was as if a red flash had weaved its wave through the chest of all sixteen of them.

A silent yet powerful wind swept through the Throne Room as Shen appeared behind all of them. At the same time, a deep hole burrowing into each of their chests. Their eyes were wide as blood-stained their mostly white uniforms. "How…" The last breath left one of their mouths as they all began to fall to the ground.

'Gae Bolg has been thrust because it has pierced your heart... What a stupidly broken ability. I wonder if it would work on RWBY's MC's considering luck can help dodge it.' Still using it Sixteen times compared to the version he used previously was a lot less draining.

Turning to look towards Adam and everyone else, they seemed frozen. The scene that just happened in front of them was too difficult to explain. It was as Shen took a step towards them that all three of them woke up. Rajah and Reolin's faces immediately turned, almost frightened. Even the two of them working together wouldn't be able to repeat Shen's feat just now.

What was worse was that Shen didn't even look exhausted. "How did he… He's so strong." Sienna, still being held down by Tealle, felt even more surprised by Shen's ability. "I didn't want to believe it at first either. I didn't take my decision of betrayal lightly, but Shen is different from anyone I've met. As he is now, I can't imagine anyone within Mistral being his equal."

Tealle's words stuck with Sienna as she glanced at her and then back at the scene in front of them. Adam looked towards both Rajah and Reolin before speaking between his teeth. "Useless cowards…" Surprisingly enough, he heard a voice that agreed with him.

"Yes, they are, aren't they? I guess both of us won't be needing them around after this." Shen held up his free hand towards Adam along with Rajah and Reolin. His hand immediately began to discharge an intense amount of electricity, turning the area around him blue. "Wait! I believe we should negotiate. We are willing to."

Rajah's words were cut off as Shen smirked. "I don't need you two alive anymore. Perhaps if it was a few months ago and you were a bit luckier." Shen shrugged as the electricity from his hand condensed, almost becoming pure light. "El Thor." Reolin, along with Rajah and Adam, had their eyes contract as their entire field of vision was taken up.

"Dammit!" The two Branch Leaders put up their guard's channeling their Aura. El Thor's heat was tremendous, and so was its power. Although he didn't use its full capabilities like he did in Argus, this was more than enough. The entire underground area shook as a roar of thunder echoed through it. It ripped through the ground of the Throne Room and blew an even larger hole into where the gate used to be.

[Level Up!]

It was blinding as Shen closed his hand, ending the attack. When the light show ended, Shen was greeted by too blackened corpses. Their Aura had stopped their bodies from being completely turned to ash. "Hmm?" Seeing there were only two corpses, Shen's gaze went upwards.

And in the air flying towards him was none other than Adam. He wasn't hurt to any extent as he placed his hand near the hilt of his sword. A cruel smile appeared on his face. "Looks like you didn't know about my Semblance. I've got you!" The rifle being used as a sheath for his sword fired, launching the sword out.

Grabbing it, he swung towards Shen at a speed that was untraceable. An unbelievable amount of contained force was released. The pressure from the slash left a deep arcing slash through the walls and floor of the Throne Room. An arc of fire was left in the attack's wake, creating what looked like a wall of fire.

"Heh…" Shen let out a chuckle as Adam's face turned from one of ecstatic to shock. Before he could even recover, Shen's hand grabbed onto his neck. He was caught in the air as his eyes fell onto Shen's body. There wasn't a single injury on him, and that was thanks to Shen being a Logia, of course.

Normally dust could affect him as they were elemental. However, there was a way Logia's could still avoid getting hit even against people who use Haki. And that was simply morphing your body around the attack before it hit. Separating his torso from his lower half, he could avoid the attack altogether despite it being infused with fire-based Dust.

Of course, Adam didn't know that. Holding him by his throat, Shen's grip increased. "Of course, I know about your semblance. It's able to absorb energy and then let you release it as one powerful attack. Of course, you would try and send back El Thor's power directly at me. You couldn't be any more predictable."

Adam felt Shen's grip get tighter as his mask slipped from his face along with his weapons. All of those things fell to the ground as he began grabbing at Shen's arm choking. However, even that wasn't enough. Both Sienna and Taella watched as, eventually, Adam's body stopped moving, and Shen let go.

"Well, that's that." Waving his hand over his head, his fake Faunus features reappeared. Taella lowered her guard around Sienna, who, despite that, didn't make an attempt to run or escape. "He's dead?" Taella asked calmly as Shen shook his head. "No, I can imagine someone else will be very anxious to get her hands on him."

Taella could tell Shen was referring to Blake as she saw him turned around. His gaze swept over her for a moment before looking towards Sienna. She looked as if she was going to speak but stopped her way mid through. Her eyes were simply locked onto Shen as he casually began to walk toward her.

"Up." Sienna gulped as she stood up from her throne and moved next to Taella. Turning around, Shen sat down, leaning his head against his hand. "From now on, the White Fang is mine. And as such, every member shall be added to my new force. Any issues with that?" Taella was the first to react, getting on one knee. "Of course not. As you wish."

Sienna was slower to react as she took a deep breath and bowed as well. "The White Fang is yours. No one shall object." Any pride or arrogance she once had must be shoved down deep. She knew that now and Taella's words reinforced the claim. The Faunus race was in Shen's hands now, whether they wanted it to be or not.

"Good, then start spreading the word. Once Neo, along with L1 and L2, reaches Mistral well, take care of the Council. And once that's done… This entire Kingdom will belong to me."
