Chapter 19: Omniscience in Marvel 19
Title: Spar 2
...
She squinted her eyes at me and disappeared, but as the saying goes; Once bitten, twice Shy.
I teleported out of the way and appeared just beside Zuras whose eyes surprisingly followed me and said. "She's quite the runner ain't she? Imagine if she could teleport while also running?"
The reply I got though, was a punch which I received with a punch of my own. The effects of the clash reverberated through the mountain, sending shockwaves rippling through the surrounding landscape.
Zuras and I exchanged blows with incredible speed and force, each strike filled with the power of our cosmic energy. As the fight continued, the frown on his face grew while the smile on mine also grew.
When it came to stamina, no one was close to his level, and when recently, I also wished to know how far I could go with my physical body alone.
Despite his millennia of combat experience, I found myself holding my own against the formidable Eternal leader. With my enhanced abilities and newfound strength, I was able to match Zuras blow for blow.
Although I wasn't sure if he was holding back, I sure as hell wasn't going all out.
As we continued to trade blows, a sense of exhilaration surged through me. This was what I had been waiting for – a true test of my newfound power against one of Olimpia's strongest warriors.
But just as I was beginning to gain the upper hand, a sudden burst of energy caught me off guard, knocking me off balance. I staggered backward, trying to regain my footing, however Zuras pressed his advantage and threw a punch to my face sending me flying.
'Fuck, they're here.' I said as I recognised that energy surge to belong to Icarus. I didn't know his lasers also packed a punch. Although it didn't cause me damage, it was still heavy to bear.
Locking onto his Energy signature I found he was floating in the air along with the others. The smile on my face disappeared as I raised my right hand towards them.
"Be careful. He's attacking." Ajak said but contrary to what she was expecting, I used gravity manipulation to force them all to the ground. It wasn't that I feared aerial battles, but men should fight on the ground like real men.
{Sir, a few of them are of the female Gender.}
"I didn't ask for your opinion ASPECT." I said and teleported right in front of Icarus and threw a punch that should decommission him if he was weaker than Zuras.
Surprisingly though, I was blocked by a palm from Ajak. 'Oh? She's also physically strong?' I thought in amazement, a tingle however, alerted me on an incoming attack from my behind.
Reacting swiftly, I shifted my stance and spun around just in time to block the strike aimed at my back. It was Thena, her eyes blazing with fury as she unleashed a flurry of sword strikes with deadly precision.
I wasn't a novice to fighting a weapons handler barehanded so conjuring a slight protection as my arm guards, I used them to defend against her while also keeping an eye on the others.
That proved to be the right course of action as I felt Makkari making her way towards me at speeds greater than her previous one. However, I smiled and also blurred out of the way.
"What?! You're…fast too?" Thena asked in horror as I disenganged from her.
"If she could focus all her Cosmic Energy on speed, why can't I do the same for an instant?" was my reply as I burred out of view again and went for Makkari.
She was quite the nuisance, no offence, so I had to put her out of commission for the moment.
As I closed in on Makkari, she darted to the side, narrowly avoiding my attack. Her agility was impressive, but I was determined to catch her off guard. With swift movements, I redirected my momentum and lunged towards her once more.
This time, however, Makkari anticipated my move and countered with a kick towards my approaching body. She was a master in close quarters combat and I was foolish to think that she only relied on speed.
A kick to my side send me spiraling away and I would be lying If I said that didn't hurt.
That was all it was though, pain. No injuries whatsoever.
"Do you still want to continue this farce?" Ajak asked. She was floating once again while looking down on my fallen form. I didn't like that.
"Farce? I could do this all year." I said and raised my palms at her. She however showed a rare smirk and said. "That won't work the second time."
"And who said I was repeating the same move a second time? Zero Gravity!"
As I uttered the command, a wave of gravitational energy surged outward from my palms, enveloping the entire area and nullifying the effects of gravity.
The Eternals, caught off guard by the sudden change, began floating helplessly in the air, their expressions a mix of confusion and frustration.
Ajak, however, seemed unfazed by the alteration in gravity.
With a calm expression, she maneuvered effortlessly through the weightless environment, her movements graceful and precise. It was clear that she was a seasoned warrior, unaffected by the unexpected turn of events.
I focused my attention on Makkari, who was still recovering from our previous exchange.
Despite her agility and combat prowess, she seemed momentarily disoriented by the sudden shift in gravity. Sensing an opportunity, I launched myself towards her the intention of knocking her out of the battle.
Before she could react, I closed the distance between us and delivered a powerful blow to her temple, sending her reeling backward. The impact was enough to momentarily incapacitate her, giving me a brief window of opportunity to assess the situation and formulate my next move.
Zuras who had been observing the alteration and was also unaffected by the Zero Gravity teleported right behind me. I noticed his movement and made to teleport out of the way, but a stifling pressure assaulted both my body and mind rendering me immobile.
'What?' I thought In shock as I haven't come across this ability set yet.
"That should be enough of you Leucadius." He said and made to punch me unconscious, but thanks to ASPECT, I was able to dispel the pressure on my mind, and against my better judgement, I was forced to activate Absolute Intelligence to quickly analyse this new ability.
As I analyzed Zuras' new ability, I realized that it was a form of mental manipulation that targeted both the physical and mental aspects of a person simultaneously. It was a highly advanced technique, one that I hadn't encountered before making him a class three telepath.
"Interesting."
With Absolute Intelligence activated, thought acceleration helped me quickly formulate a countermeasure. By channeling my psychic and cosmic energy, I created a protective barrier around my mind and body, shielding myself from Zuras' mental assault.
Feeling the pressure lessen, I seized the opportunity to break free from his grasp. With a burst of energy, I propelled myself forward, narrowly dodging Zuras' attempted strike.
Now on the offensive, I unleashed a barrage of energy blasts towards Zuras, forcing him to defend himself. Despite his skill and experience, he struggled to keep up with the intensity of my attacks.
There was no pattern to it and I made sure they were lethal enough to both hurt and injure him at the same time. They were called Energy blasts for a reason.
Which means I could convert my Cosmic Energy into any form of energy I feel would hurt.
Meanwhile, Ajak was able to cancel out the effects of my Zero gravity, allowing the other Eternals to regain their mobility and regrouped in order to support their leader.
If there was anything of note in this battle, it was the fact that not one of the Eternals had used any form of Elemental attack.
As beings capable of manipulating energy itself, we actually didn't need it as in the end, it was all energy and could be converted as we please, but somehow, not even me felt the need to use it.
I knew I could bolster my fighting capabilities by using lightning to enhance my reaction speed or something along that line, but truthfully speaking, I doubt even lightning could enhance me more that I already was due to Cosmic Energy running though my veins.
And so, after Makkari was decommissioned, I Focused on Kingo, the next weakling who only knew how to battle from afar with his Energy blast. I mean…we all have that particular skill set, but only he uses it like an actual ability.
And he actually managed to make it into their top fighting force. It really is a mystery to me how that happened.
With my absolute intelligence turned off, I scanned the place and quickly came up with with quickest way to end this battle. I may not really like using Elemental attacks due to their weakness to beings like us, but times like this…
"Earth Spike!" I uttered a command, and as I did, sharp spikes of earth erupted from the ground beneath Kingo's feet, immobilizing him and leaving him vulnerable to attack. With his main form of offense neutralized, he was an easy target.
Without hesitation, I teleported next to Kingo and delivered a powerful punch to his chest, knocking him unconscious. As his body fell to the ground, I turned my attention to the remaining Eternals, who were still regrouping and preparing to counterattack.
However, before they could make a move, I activated my Cosmic Energy Reactor to its full capacity, unleashing a massive wave of energy that enveloped the entire battlefield. The sheer force of the blast sent shockwaves rippling through the air, causing the surrounding landscape to tremble.
I didn't overdo it though. Wouldn't want to quake the entire dimension just to show off some level of power.
Caught off guard by the sudden display of power, the Eternals were momentarily stunned, giving me the opportunity to press my advantage. With lightning speed, I darted from one opponent to the next, incapacitating them with precise strikes and overwhelming force.
One by one, the Eternals fell before me, unable to withstand the full extent of my enhanced abilities. Despite their formidable powers and centuries of combat experience, they were no match for the sheer force of my cosmic energy.
"And then…there were two." I said facing the two I Eternals that were actually able to follow my movements despite being at full power.
Zuras and Ajak kept their gazes on me throughout my entire spree, knocking everyone unconscious. Even Icarus, the supposed strongest person after Zuras wasn't able to do this.
I understood why though.
Ajak was an Eternal who was both strong and versatile in Energy manipulation, so much so that she spent a greater percentile of her time learning how to communicate with the Celestials.
Communicating with Beings like the Celestials wasn't an easy fear. They are beings of pure cosmic energy. Talking with them could lead to mental collapse.
That alone showed how powerful her mental energy were.
The Other was Zuras. The Prime Eternal. He was the strongest being born from Earth at the moment.
That title was being contested by yours truly at the moment though.
"That should be enough of you Eternal."
Hmm? A new challenger? I thought as my cosmic energy locked in on the voice that just spoke. That was when I felt it. Even with my Cosmic Energy Reactor activated at full capacity, his energy wasn't any less than mine.
Hell, he's was on a whole other level. Not that greater than mine though. Just at the same level as Zuras and 1.2X greater than mine.
"Zeus…what brings you here?" Zuras turned to the new arrival and asked causing my eyes to shrink.
'What? He's that Zeus?'
