[Vector Control: All-Encompassing Repulsion]
[Effect: When activated, a 'vector filter net' is established around the user based on a specific calculation formula. This net divides vectors into 'harmful' and 'harmless,' reflecting all dangerous substances and energies except for necessary things like gravity, air pressure, light, oxygen, and sound wavelengths.]
As Tendo's most common and effective "passive defensive technique," All-Encompassing Repulsion allows Tendo to almost completely ignore over ninety-nine percent of all attacks in the world.
This includes the various bizarre techniques of the Staremisaries.
After all, no matter what the actual effects of a star-power technique are, they are fundamentally just a specific application of 'star-energy.'
Tendo's All-Encompassing Repulsion can not only repel pure physical effects but also the star-energy itself, allowing him to bypass most techniques.
However, the magic of Star-Origins lies in their ability to possess all kinds of unexpected abilities.
Chen Kong's "Mark of Emptiness" is one of the few attacks Tendo cannot simply repel.
He can only engage in a pure contest of star-energy with it.
Therefore, even if Bai Kong couldn't harm Tendo at the moment, his attacks, which were imbued with the Mark of Emptiness, were still accelerating Tendo's star-energy consumption to a certain extent.
But the more this war of attrition went on, the more shocked Bai Kong became.
Every one of his strikes had reached the level of a Tier 3 or higher attack.
Yet, the Shattered Star in Tendo's hand always seemed to "see the future" and would wait in his predetermined attack path, easily neutralizing his offense with minimal cost.
At this rate, before Tendo's star-energy was depleted, the precious three minutes of "fun time" he had fought for would be over.
Thinking this, Bai Kong felt he had to do something.
He suddenly increased the star-energy output in his body. The blade-shadows of Black Star merged into a deep, dark curtain of light that completely enveloped Tendo.
At the same time, his mouth didn't stop. He began to relentlessly taunt Tendo.
He hoped to attract Tendo's full attention and buy the last precious moments for the squinty-eyed guy who was about to reach the Steam Furnace.
"Hahahaha! Tendo, didn't you just call me an ant?"
"How come you don't even dare to fight back now? Could it be..."
Although it seemed as if Bai Kong was "suppressing" Tendo in the current exchange, the Dimensional viewers couldn't help but shake their heads in their hearts.
They clearly saw that the playful look in Tendo's pale blue eyes had completely vanished, replaced by a bottomless coldness.
This meant that Bai Kong's taunts had successfully unlocked Tendo's second form: Serious Mode Tendo-san!
"You seem to like talking trash very much?"
Sensing the change in Tendo's aura and the coldness in his words, Bai Kong's smile came to an abrupt halt, and the hand gripping Black Star visibly slowed.
Clearly, Bai Kong was not as relaxed as he sounded.
Looking at the terrifying aura on screen that seemed to freeze the very air around Tendo, the Dimensional viewers couldn't help but feel sorry for Bai Kong.
'Ah, Old Bai, didn't we tell you to talk less?'
'You could have provoked anyone, but you had to provoke him. (Incense.jpg)'
'Tendo: Warm-up's over. The main event begins.'
'Friendly reminder: The following scenes may be slightly unsettling. Minors, please watch with parental guidance.'
Clang!
The Shattered Star in Tendo's hand suddenly changed angle, leaving a clear black afterimage as it swept past Bai Kong.
Although Bai Kong had retreated in time, when he steadied himself and looked down at his abdomen, he saw a hideous wound across his stomach.
If his reaction had been a moment slower, it wouldn't have been just a new wound.
He would have gone from "Bai Kong" to "Ba Kong," with his body separated and cut in half by Tendo.
Without rushing to attack Bai Kong, Tendo slowly retracted Shattered Star and said flatly, "Thirty seconds."
Bai Kong was stunned. "Thirty seconds of what?"
Before Bai Kong could hear Tendo's answer, two low hums, like engines starting, suddenly echoed in the quantum space.
This was the sound of Tendo's star-energy points activating when he used "Star-Eater Liberation"!
In the next second, Tendo's figure appeared behind Bai Kong. Two pale blue light trails streaked from the corners of his eyes, like the tail of a shooting star, briefly suspended in the air.
It was then that Tendo slowly provided the explanation.
"I will make it so you can't say a single word for the next thirty seconds."
Without giving Bai Kong any time to react, Tendo delivered a powerful kick, like a leg whip, to his waist.
Bang!
A terrifying shockwave exploded, and Bai Kong's body flew backward like it had been hit by a cannonball.
H-how is this possible?!
Bai Kong's pupils constricted, and his face twisted in agony.
He had already used the Mark of Emptiness to its full power just before Tendo's kick, preparing to weaken the attack by absorbing the star-energy from Tendo's leg.
But after being kicked, he was horrified to find that Tendo's kick didn't carry any star-energy whatsoever. It didn't even use a star-energy technique to enhance the attack. It was a purely physical burst of strength!
For a Special-Type Staremissary who wasn't a Body-Enhancement Star-Origin user, this was almost impossible!
Why? Why is this guy's body even more terrifying than a Starbeast's?!
Isn't he a Special-Type?
Isn't he only Tier 2?
Why is this happening?!
If it wasn't for his body, which had undergone a "half-star fragment" transformation, already being comparable to a Tier 3 Body-Enhancement Staremissary, this single kick would have been enough to shatter his bones and obliterate him!
"Twenty-nine seconds."
Before Bai Kong could figure out the reason, Tendo's figure, with "Star-Eater Liberation" activated, flashed to Bai Kong's side again. He raised his leg and delivered another powerful leg-axe strike, chopping down with great force.
He lifted his leg and struck down with a leg-axe.
Although Bai Kong had correctly reacted in this critical moment and held Black Star horizontally in front of his chest, trying to block the fierce and familiar kick, the power of this single kick still made him immediately cough up blood, his body arching like a crescent moon.
But before Bai Kong could recover and adjust his body, Tendo left an afterimage in mid-air, appearing beneath him before he could even land.
"Twenty-eight seconds."
Bang!
"Twenty-seven seconds."
Boom!
"Twenty-six seconds."
