Feeling frustrated at his inability to withstand the rising temperature, and the tearing force within his body that brought him great pain, the old man quickly raised his wooden cane, after determining that waiting patiently for the young man in front of him to die from lifespan depletion, was detrimental to his own survival, and thrusted it towards Mon Dupa, who was billions of light years away with all his might. In a bid to end the battle quickly.
The powerful thrust of the cane situated in the old man's right arm, seemed to easily traverse the trillions, upon trillions of miles separating the two in less than a second, as if the distance separating the two of them was an illusion.
As he thrusted his cane mysteriously towards Mon Dupa, the illusion of an ancient moon soon appeared at the tip of the cane. The ancient moon appeared lone and desolate as if it was the only moon in existence, as it hovered at the tip of the cane. After appearing, the ancient moon, then rapidly enlarged, as it moved towards the distant Mon Dupa at terrifying speed, quickly enlarging to epic proportions that dwarfed several galaxies combined, and covered the old man, and the moon he was standing within, completely.
The flames burning in its path seemed to freeze in place as it passed through them, as if time, millions of light years around the moon, had slowed down to almost a complete stop. Its piercing movement also pushed the countless moons in its path to the side violently. Even the heat burning the inside of the old man, as well as the tearing force within him disappeared, as the illusionary moon encapsulated him, and his surroundings.
Looking at the rapidly approaching moon in the distance, Mon Dupa couldn't help but feel as though he was watching an ancient, desolate moon that was birthed at the beginning of time, cross countless eons of time from the distant past, towards his current position in the distant future, with unstoppable momentum that grew more terrifying by the second.
Noticing the moon that was approaching him at terrifying speed, threatening to tear him asunder, and wash him away within the river of time, Mon smirked in anger and fright for the first time, for he knew he could die if that illusionary moon crashed into him as his body currently was.
After realizing this, his body that was covered in flames then quickly started to change. The flames erupting from his body quickly disappeared in less than a second, leaving a muscular body with wax-like consistency behind.
Mon Dupa had somehow transformed himself into a wax figurine, in a bid to protect his body from the incoming moon. For he believed that only in this state could his body somehow survive the onslaught of the moon.
