Spreading pacifism

The Vanguard couldn't understand what happened. 

He looked at his right hand and saw that the original four meteors that were rotating around his wrist now became only three. He used up one of the meteors in his attack, which meant that his punch should have destroyed any defense it came across.

So then how did Atlan catch his fist?

Did I misfire my LifeSkill?!

He quickly withdrew away from Atlan, jumping back until he could feel the walls against his back. He reached down deep in his Soul System and tried to figure out why his Crashing Meteor Punch didn't pack as much power as he thought. Atlan shouldn't have been able to catch his attack.

Meanwhile, the Quill looked at Atlan, who was walking towards him with an indecipherable look on his face.

The Quill took the initiative and rushed towards Atlan. His blue battle suit buzzed with high-voltage electricity arcing through the air.
