Chapter 26: Xavy (True Power) VS Lucius (True Power)

Xavy looked at Exotec and said, "Get out. Your turn is over."

Exotec nodded and teleported away.

"Ah, so you came back with a new level. Interesting fellow," said Lucius.

Xavy's hands began to glow brightly.

"Let's end this. Now," Xavy said as he lunged forward.

Lucius jumped back, but Xavy had already punched his face away. He then teleported behind Lucius and silently struck his critical areas, sending Lucius flying.

"What the hell? What kind of speed is this?! It hurts now, and he's faster than anything!" Lucius thought, feeling intimidated.

Lucius quickly composed himself, but Xavy had already kicked his ribcage, then teleported behind him and kicked him again into the sky. Xavy teleported above him and chanted:

"Limitless Classification: Destructive Blow, Grass Blast. The universe's rule is beyond, but reality stays intact."

A massive blast was fired toward Lucius with immense frequency.

Lucius dodged the blast, but it split into two and struck him from both sides, releasing a barrage of magical sharp leaves.

Xavy teleported in front of him and delivered a devastating punch to his gut, sending shockwaves across the planet and the Under-Void.

Lucius crashed into a building.

Xavy teleported below him, struck his back, and landed a whirlwind kick to his head, crushing him into the floor.

Lucius quickly stood up and kicked Xavy away, panting heavily.

"He's built differently. He's stronger than I thought," Lucius mumbled.

Xavy lunged forward, punched Lucius in the face, grabbed him, and threw him away.

Teleporting above him, Xavy landed a sledgehammer blow to his head. He then teleported again, pointed a finger at Lucius's chest, and chanted:

"Immeasurable Lesson."

A massive laser shot through Lucius's chest.

Lucius's eyes flashed with rage as he kicked Xavy away.

"That's it... THAT'S ENOUGH!" Lucius shouted.

He lunged forward, punched Xavy in the face, grabbed his shirt, and pulled him close.

"You may be strong and unstoppable, but you won't be after the next blow I'm about to DELIVER!" Lucius shouted.

Xavy jumped back and raised both fingers, chanting:

"Domain Expansion: Remembrance of Memories."

A massive orb surrounded both Xavy and Lucius, transforming the battlefield into a dark park.

Lucius's body froze in place.

Xavy walked toward him and said, "Underestimating higher entities is like asking for death. Once you go hand-to-hand against one, the last place you'll end up is the void, where no one will see you."

Lucius glared at Xavy.

"Especially when a demon reaches their full potential, thinking they can destroy everyone. Well, news flash, comedian—you can't," Xavy said.

"You're just going to end up like a torn candy bar that was just opened," he added.

Lucius broke free from the paralysis and lunged angrily at Xavy, but Xavy caught his fist.

"First rule: Never dash forward," Xavy said, delivering a gut-wrenching punch.

"Second rule: Never underestimate the higher-ups," he continued, striking Lucius in the face.

"And lastly, don't be a corrupt leader," Xavy finished, landing a devastating blow that shattered the domain, sending Lucius crashing into a building.

Xavy teleported in front of him and grabbed his head.

"This is reality. You can't beat a higher being," Xavy said, slamming Lucius's face into the ground.

Lucius groaned and fired a laser, but Xavy emerged unscathed.

"You should really try harder if you want to actually do damage," Xavy remarked, delivering a punch to Lucius's face, followed by an uppercut. He then finished the combo with a sharp spinning kick, sending Lucius skidding across the ground.

Xavy teleported in front of him. Just as he was about to finish him off, Lucius caught his arm and hurled him into a wall.

Lucius teleported in front of him, his fist glowing black.

"I developed a new technique while you were attacking me... Fragment," Lucius said, smirking.

Xavy kicked his face away and jumped back.

"What, am I supposed to be impressed by your nonsense technique of getting beaten up?" Xavy said.

Lucius looked confused. "I don't know what you mean by that, but I'll show you."

Lucius lunged forward, chanting:

"Death Punch."

Xavy readied himself, chanting:

"Realm Dust."

Their fists clashed, creating massive shockwaves that rippled across the planet and the Semi-Reality.

An entity watching from afar felt the shockwaves and continued observing.

"I'll do it when the time is right... when they are ready to fuse," the entity murmured before walking away.

Meanwhile, Xavy and Lucius battled ferociously in the sky, demolishing buildings and shaking the continents.

Xavy landed a heavy kick, ending the clash. Lucius barely blocked it but quickly became dizzy.

Xavy rushed forward, jumped above him, and hurled him into a wall. He then teleported in front of him and delivered a gut punch that shattered the building instantly.

Lucius jumped back and fired multiple lasers.

Xavy walked toward him, deflecting each one, then teleported forward and landed an uppercut. He caught Lucius's leg and slammed him into the ground.

Lucius quickly stood up and attacked rapidly.

Xavy dodged most strikes but got hit by the last one.

Lucius positioned himself and landed a powerful punch to Xavy's face, sending him flying.

Teleporting above him, Lucius kicked Xavy back to the ground.

Xavy quickly recovered and leaped away just as Lucius attempted to stomp him.

Lucius kicked him in the face, grabbed his shirt, and threw him through multiple buildings.

Teleporting behind him, Lucius sent Xavy crashing into the dried ocean, forming a massive crater.

Just as Lucius was about to land another blow, Xavy appeared behind him.

"Don't even think about it," Xavy said coldly.

He punched Lucius in the face, then delivered two devastating blows before finishing with a strong kick. Dashing forward, he struck Lucius again and landed an uppercut.

Jumping back, Xavy dashed in once more, grabbed Lucius's face, and slammed him into the ground.

Lucius kicked Xavy away, his fists now glowing rainbow.

"That's it... I'm going to destroy this layer of reality," Lucius growled.

"Another reality erasure... This isn't good," Xavy thought.

Lucius unleashed a massive slash toward Xavy.

Xavy countered with a barrier, causing a colossal explosion that shook Semi-Reality once more.

As the smoke cleared, Xavy panted slightly, exhausted.

Exotec teleported in front of him.

"It's time for you to use the fusion plan, Xavy. I'll handle him," Exotec said.

Xavy nodded and teleported away.
