Slicer Unclocks his Full Potential

Still floating in motion, Pete turned his focus towards both Kuhn Lau and Yung Fu. Kuhn Lau sat up, leaning against the side of a vehicle while Yung Fu dragged himself across the street, struggling to stand on his 2 feet. "Kuhn Lau! Yung Fu!" He exclamed, he soared through the sky towards their location and stood next to a staggering Yung Fu. The aura of flames instantly burned out, as he returned his base form. He then crouched and grabbed his arm, he then proceeded as to pick him and wrapped his arm around his shoulder pulling him to Kuhn Lau's current position. "Are you ok?" Yung Fu nodded. "What is that I can do to help you? Let me transfer some of my energy to you!" Pete insisted as Yung Fu groaned in agony while he placed his hand on his gut. "No! Preserve your energy! You will need it." "I don't care about that! I wouldn't be where I am without your training!" Yung Fu raised his eyebrows with astonishment, he then sighed. "Fine! Do what you must."

He opened his hand and a yellow glow emitted from his palm, he modulated the glow of energy into an energy ball. He shoved the energy ball inside of him, in doing so the energy ball replenished him with a new tank of energy and healed all of his graces and lacerations at the same time. Despite all of that,all the grazes around his face and hands converted into a scars. Pete unwrapped his arm off of his shoulder until he could stand on his feet. "Listen Yung Fu. I know that ki blast did nothing as to add to Slicer's resume. However I have a score to settle. He took my only hope from me and in turn I choose to pay his debt by beating him into a pulp. Therefore I task you and the other 5 with the responsibility of gathering as much people as possible from the buidlings. There after take them far away from the city whereby there won't be a need for either of them to worry about a building falling on them!" Just as Pete was about to walk away, Yung Fu grabbed him by the arm. "Wait Pete! Whatever you do, do not give Slicer an opening no matter how powerful you are do you hear me?!" Pete turned his head around and answered his plea. "I won't!" He looked up to the sky, in doing so his black hair assended while morphing into a flare of flames. He then raised his hand as coat of fiery wings emitted from the underside of his sleeves. Pieces of the ground assended at the cause of his divinity. When he took off a powerful thunderclap reverberated across the entire block. Yung Fu looked up to him with a smile, "I am proud of him. Never have I anticipated that he would reach such amends of power."

Meanwhile

Slicer awaited for him on a roof a building which was therefore situated nearby. Pete saw him from afar and increased his speed exponentially. As soon as he reached within close proximity to him, he haulted and stood on the very fabric of the air molecules while shinning a glare to him. Since Slicer's feet were attached to the roof of the building while he raised his head and shun a hole through him. The atmosphere was indeed severe as a gust of wind forcefully blew past him pulling as much objects as possible, yet slightly blowing their hair backward.

"The Golden Phoenix." Stated Slicer with an ominous tone while Pete inquired. "It seems that you are aware of this form. Where have you heard of it." "I wouldn't say heard. More like I have seen this before. A power level so significant that whoever wields it has the power to end all life within a large scale without much effort. Some say that is the starter for a main course." "What main course? Whats with all of riddles?" "You are truly are a fool blob. You don't deserve it. That power coursing through your blood. Only people of great virtue should be entitled to the power of the Phoenix. Not a measly peasant who cannot aspire for great things. You are only proned to be a failure for the rest of your life." Pete furrowed his eyebrows and continued, "I don't care what you say Slicer. Whether you and fate have decided to me a make a peasant. I no longer care because I have had an epiphany. Try as you may to insult me because you are well aware that I measly peasant has surpassed a mighty commmander of your feat."

Slicer as well furrowed his eyebrows, he clenched his fists and continued to analyse him with the aid of the HUD. The readings showed a power level of 1 000 000 000, however something was wrong, the readings of his power level kept on growing with each second. From 1 000 000 000 - 1 000 000 050. "What is this? Not only is his power level greater than mine in my base form. But his power keeps on escalating with each each second." He grunted, there after he continued analysing his readings which now were 1 000 000 000 100. "No matter. The more his power level grows, the more energy it will demand from him. Nonetheless this will give me an advantage since my energy reserves are infinite. So I will just have to drag this battle just a bit longer and he will return to his base form."

Suddenly Pete transitioned away from sight and appeared in front of him. He cropped out in front of him within a second and struck him on the left side of his face. The force of the punch sent the latter flying, while doing so Pete transitioned away from the previous spot and reappared behind Slicer who was just about to collide through another building. He struck him with another blow this time using his elbow as he smudged it against his chest, which therefore sent him falling towards the ground. But before he could he could collide through the ground, for the third time. Pete transitioned away from his previous spot and reappared above a falling Slicer. He grabbed his collar and landed another blow on the face, exerting more force as he collided through the ground inciting a large crater that sunk through the ground at the volume of 15 feet. Slicer glanced upward, in doing so a viscious Pete flew straight to him. Just as he was about to move out of the way, Pete tackled him through the ground as the 2 sank deeper and deeper into the Earth's crust. They collided through aquifers, more soil and thick layers of silicites. The crust got thicker and thicker with each sink, so thick that it would shred the living flesh of a human like a shredder, thus not to mention the speed that they sank through. Somehow they were unphased by the thick layer of rocks and phased through it like it were made of glass.

As they sank deeper, Pete lashed out at him pummeling him visciouly as his blows incited blow of shockwaves through the ground. On the surface, this caused an earth qauke. Then after, the 2 collided through the mantle, but before splashing through an ocean of magma, Pete grabbed his leg and flew above the ocean of magma while dragging the upper section of his body and dippinh it into pool of magma.

There after, he increased his altitude as they flew again through the crust. He applied force to his arm and threw him out through the crust, sending the latter flying up until he collided through the surface of the ground. He transitioned away from his previous position and appeared in front of him. Once again he clenched his fist and landed another audacious blow on the fore front of his face. The force of his punch incited a massive shockwave, a shockwave so massive that it repelled a lot of cars nearby backward. And it eventually sending Slicer through 12 buildings.

Slicer then landed on the ground on his back, he sunk into a massive crater. The crater was 15 feet deep and scorched of a ring of flames around it. Slicer groaned in agony as he crawled up to his feet and muttered with disbelief, "How is this possible? No mere mortal has what it takes to break my streak. A mellenium's worth of training gone down the drain! I cannot allow this. I cannot fail, failure is for the feeble. I must prevail so that I may please Lord Havoc, in turn for him to appoint me as an OverLord!" He punched the ground multiple times. Then after he arose to his feet and awaited for his adversary. Pete then cropped out of no where and appeared a few meters away, levitating while shining an ominous glance at him as his fiery wings fumed with extravaganza. "You consider yourself to follow a moral compass but it would seem that you have just contrasted your code." Slicer said as he dusted himself while Pete clenched his fist. "What are you talking about?" "The one with a moral compass shall never take vengance into consideration. But here you are now executing it like I would." He raised his voice at him. "Cause you took everything from me Slicer! Bianca! My life and tried to kill off the people that embody that faint hope that still gives me a reason not kill myself!!!" "Even so Mr Atkinson. But a man of honer never extracts vengence on those who've wronged him. Yet here you are contradicting yourself. Not only that but as well as making it an unfair fight. Since you are more powerful than me, wouldn't you think that it would be reasonable to make it a fair fight. Or Unless of course you are just as worse as me because you depict yourself as a good being yet you choose to beat up a weak person."

His words were eloquemt enough as to stir an internal conflict inside of him. "Could he be right. Am I just as worse than him. No! He is trying to manipulate me!" Slicer continued, "You know that I'm right hence why you are hesitant. Have I struck your conscious?" Pete's fists shook tremendously, as much as he wanted to punch him but he had cornered him. "Let me use my full potential then this will be a fair fight. Or you could continue beating me into a pulp. This will prove that you are a hypocrite." Pete furrowed his eyebrows and gritted his teeth, there after he sighed and unclenched his fist. "Fine but do not take long." Slicer spoke to himself, "What a fool! He truly is gullable." He raised his head towards the sky, in turn the heavens roared at him as group of pregnant clouds collided against one another which then incited a thunder storm. A powerful force of wind blew past, flipping cars, and repelling street objects away.

The thunderstorm was great that even Kuhn Lau saw it from the other side of the city. Kuhn Lau turned his attention towards Yung Fu whom was transfering his energy towards Ace. Ace opened his eyes and crawled up to his feet. "What happened? I thought I was dead." "No! You were only losing a considerable amount of blood. Fortunately, I was able to transfer some of my energy to you." He looked around and scratched his head. "Where is everyone? I thought that we were all knocked out?" "I was able to tranafer some of energy to all 4 of them. Now they are gathering as much people as possible and are taking to them to safety. You must make haste and help them now!" "Yung Fu! Have you seen this?! Kuhn Lau inquired from afar. "Yung Fu turned around to face his back, he looked at the thunder storm and said with concern. "No! Please tell me that has not given him an opening to sink to his full potential?" Yung Fu then looked to his right side and saw Ace's scythe lying at close range within the pavement.

From the western part of the city, Indistructro lead a fleet of citizens towards the outskirts of the city. There were 100 000's of citizens following him from behind, men, children and women. He looked up to the sky, a portion of was painted in a red and black pigmnet. A flash of scarlet red lightning bolts streaked across the skies, this sent a cool chill shivering down his spine.

At the epicentre of the duel

4 streaks of scarlet red lightning bolts desended to the ground with great speed. The lighting bolts streaked around Slicer coating him with an aura of red lightning. Slicer then closed his eyes as his power level read at a number of 10 000 000 000 while Pete's power level read was at a number of 8 999 999 000. When he opened his eyes, he transitioned away from sight and reappeared in front of him within a milisecond, just before Pete could perceive the attack Slicer landed a blow right on the left side of his face. Blood spewed out of his mouth as the punch repelled him causing the latter to fly backward at a distance of 70 kilometers. While doing so a shockwave repelled him, causing windows in every buidling to rupture.
