After the devastating attack that had been delivered to Zodia—an attack that caused large-scale destruction, completely wiped out the entire continent, and summoned a violent thunderstorm—Zodia was floating calmly in the air. His body bore no wounds, no scratches, not even the slightest sign of damage. He looked completely unfazed.
Lord Yamamoto, Lady Shinra, and Lady Najenda stared at him in absolute shock and disbelief.
Lady Najenda's mind raced.
How…?
How the hell did he just tank that combined attack?!
The destructive power of our combined technique was more than enough to completely erase an entire continent! Hell, with enough focus, we could have pushed it even further… and yet he took it like it was nothing!
Her eyes trembled.
Who is this guy?!
Lord Yamamoto, visibly irritated and furious, clenched his teeth and shouted at Zodia.
"WHAT ARE YOU?!"
"JUST TELL US ALREADY! WHAT KIND OF ABOMINATION ARE YOU?!".
Zodia remained silent for a brief moment.
Then he started laughing "AHAHAHAHA! AHAHA!".
His laughter echoed across the ruined battlefield, mocking and cold. While laughing, he spoke.
"What a disgrace," he said.
"You dare call yourselves powerful… yet you couldn't defeat me while I was barely using twenty percent of my power."
He shook his head slightly.
"That's just sad."
A diabolical smile spread across Zodia's face.
"Alright then," he continued.
"Time to show you frauds what true power looks like."
Suddenly, an overwhelming amount of energy burst out of Zodia's body. In an instant, he speed-blitzed Lord Yamamoto and delivered a brutal kick that sent him flying across an entire mountain.
Zodia turned immediately and prepared to punch Lady Shinra—but before he could, Lady Najenda fired an enormous, explosive bolt of lightning straight at him. Zodia casually raised his hand, stopping the attack mid-air, before tossing the lightning aside.
The redirected lightning detonated violently in the distance, causing a massive explosion.
Lady Najenda and Zodia took their battle into the sky, their clashes creating continuous explosions that shook the battlefield below. Lady Najenda unleashed massive lightning bolts at rapid fire, while Zodia—wearing an evil smirk—countered each one with powerful energy beams of his own. They both were moving faster than the speed of light by a hundred times.
Their attacks collided endlessly.
Each clash produced catastrophic explosions, destroying mountains and violently shaking the entire battlefield. Lady Najenda managed to land a direct punch, slamming Zodia into the ground with a devastating surge of lightning.
Yet when the dust settled, Zodia stood up completely unharmed—not a single scratch on his body.
Clearly enjoying himself, he spoke.
"Is this all you've got?"
"If so, you're not worth my time."
He looked up.
Countless giant lightning bolts were already falling toward him.
Zodia began dodging them effortlessly, performing backflips while moving at incredible speed. Lady Najenda suddenly appeared in front of him, lightning crackling violently around her hands. She launched a barrage of devastating punches, each one exploding with raw lightning.
Zodia and Lady Najenda exchanged blows at insane speed, going blow for blow as the battlefield trembled violently beneath them. Massive lightning strikes slammed into the ground repeatedly as their fistfight continued.
Then—
Lady Shinra appeared out of nowhere, launching an enormous energy bomb toward Zodia.
Zodia spotted the attack instantly.
Without hesitation, he grabbed Lady Najenda by the wrist and hurled her straight into the incoming energy bomb.
"Alright," he said coldly.
"I've gotten tired of you."
The energy bomb collided with Lady Najenda, erupting into a massive explosion.
Lady Shinra appeared behind Zodia immediately afterward, her fist glowing intensely as she screamed:
"Energy Fists: Nuclear Devastation!"
She landed a devastating punch that triggered a nuclear-level explosion.
Zodia blocked the attack with ease.
"You again?" he said flatly.
"Haven't you learned yet?"
"You're garbage."
He grabbed her and tossed her violently across the battlefield.
As Lady Shinra was sent flying, she fired massive Flash Fists toward Zodia. Zodia casually dodged each one while sprinting straight toward her. As she prepared another attack, Zodia slapped it out of her hands, gathered an immense amount of energy into his fists, and punched her directly in the abdomen, she coughed out cup full of blood "AHG!"
The ground exploded on impact.
Lady Shinra staggered to her feet.
Zodia charged toward her at full speed.
"You know what?" he shouted.
"For being this weak and still having the guts to challenge me… I'll give you a present!"
He powered up an enormous amount of energy in both hands, merged it together, and fired a massive beam shaped like a dragon.
Lady Shinra screamed in terror as the attack tore through her "AAAAAAAAH!", flying across countless mountains. The explosion that followed was so devastating it could have wiped out an entire country in an instant.
Lady Shinra collapsed to the ground, completely defeated.
Lord Yamamoto descended from above, wielding a gigantic metal hammer and swinging it down toward Zodia.
Zodia smiled wickedly.
He unleashed the same attack toward him and shouted:
"GO TO RETIREMENT, OLD MAN!"
Lady Najenda suddenly reappeared, flying at top speed with a massive lightning arrow aimed directly at Zodia.
Zodia smirked.
"You call that lightning?"
"I'll show you true lightning."
A magic circle appeared beneath his hand as he yelled with excitement:
"Lightning God Technique: Divine Lightning Spear!", lightning brewing from his body.
A colossal lightning spear erupted forward, obliterating the surrounding area and summoning a massive thunderstorm that wiped out everything in its path.
Zodia laughed like a maniac.
"AHAHAHAHAHA! Oh my God, this is pathetic!", he mocked.
"I've never fought people who suck this much!",
He continued laughing "AHAHAHAHAHA!".
"You're all so easy, it's sad! You know when I called you garbage?"
"I change my mind."
"You're worse than that."
"You should be honored that someone as powerful as me laid waste to you!", Zodia growled and yelled with excitement.
His energy surged violently, going berserk and shaking the environment around him.
"Now I'll show you what real power is!", he exclaimed.
A terrifying amount of energy burst from Zodia's body. A sword formed in his hand, forged entirely from pure energy.
He raised it and spoke calmly.
"Come forth…"
"Sword of Calamity."
The energy he released was so overwhelming that it triggered a thunderstorm that covered the entire planet.
Zodia laughed uncontrollably "AHAHAHA! AHAHA!"
His glowing blue eyes slowly turned into blazing crimson.
