Ethan didn't have time to dodge.
The two forces collided head-on—
BOOM!!!
A devastating shockwave tore across the entire ship.
It felt like a warhammer had slammed straight into his chest. Ethan was hurled backward, his body rattling inside the armor like a ragdoll in a steel cage.
Agonizing pressure ripped through every seam in the suit, clawing at him from the inside.
If not for the Powered Combat Armor absorbing most of the impact, his body would've been shredded on the spot.
He forced himself upright mid-air, stabilizing with a grunt, and immediately triggered a system scan.
[Target: Aurelkar]
[Combat Power Rating: Tier 30 · Peak]
Ethan's heart sank.
Even with the combined power of Auri and Idra, plus the full boost from the Powered Combat Armor, his current limit barely scraped Tier 30 mid-level.
A straight-up fight?
No chance.
"Insignificant insect."
Aurelkar's voice echoed through the air, thick with contempt.
"You got lucky. Picked up a few scraps of power."
