"Talking"

—----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

HA! This is what I've been waiting for! What all my training was for!

Gray was grinning widely, looking nearly psychotic as his eyes were buzzing with excitement. He leaned to the side, barely avoiding a powerful punch from Boros, which sent the air behind him bursting backward in a shock wave. He retaliated with a punch of his own, barely missing as Boros grinned widely as well, shifting to the side as the massive furry fist burst past him. Far below, hundreds of feet away on the surface of Monas, the force of Gray's punch carried through the air and caused a crater to form.

Boros' hand shot forward, aiming for the massive limb that had just missed him, but Gray jerked his arm back quickly, causing the alien to hit nothing but air. Another massive fist came hurtling at him from above, and a flurry of punches followed, with Gray's arms moving so quickly that it looked like he had a dozen of them instead of only two.

Boros kept up well at the start, the alien gritting his teeth as he slid through the air effortlessly, shifting his body and dodging as the surface of Monas became littered with craters despite the distance between them and the planet. But the gap in power was simply too large, and Boros eventually took a fist to the side. Gray's fist slammed into him, the world freezing for a split second as a burst of air shot out behind him, and then Boros was sent hurtling down towards the surface of Monas for a third time.

320,780,270 HP! (4,168,219,830/4,489,000,100)

Now, let's see how strong you've really become.

Gray glanced down at Boros as he slammed into the ground, the already massive crater covering the surface practically turning into a canyon from another impact, and used [Observe].

[Arrogant] Boros:

[Intergalactic Warlord]

Age: 157

PL: 307 Trillion

HP: 4,489,000,100/4,489,000,100

TKI: 12,120,000,285/15,577,250,900

TMP: 370,200,150/450,920,270

Reputation: 950/1000 (Liked)

[Arrogant Modifier] - Individuals with this modifier will be naturally arrogant, believing that they are better than others.

Damn, he's fuckin' strong! It was a good thing I planned ahead!

If Gray hadn't gone all the way to Kaio-Ken x10, instead thinking something like x5 was enough, then he would've been genuinely struggling right now. It was only thanks to what he thought was over-preparing that he was able to match the man right now.

And, Saitama was keeping up with this bastard even before the training? He's just as much of a fuckin' monster as I am!

"YEEEEEEESSSSS! YOU REALLY ARE STRONG, JUST AS I THOUGHT!" Gray wasn't given more time to think about it as Boros shot upward, a pink blast of Ki shooting around him as he shot in the air towards Gray with a massive grin, "I'LL FIGHT YOU SERIOUSLY!"

It took that much of a beating to get serious? Fuckin' prick.

But Gray was still grinning as Boros shot at him, leaning to the side as Boros was launching upward feet-first, intent on slamming a two-footed kick into his gut. Boros shot past him, but shifted mid-air, swinging out widely as his arm was consumed in a veil of pink Ki, and Gray punched upwards to match him.

Their fists met in the middle again, massive knuckles pounding against smaller ones, and Gray's eyes widened a bit as they stalled out. Boros hadn't been lying about getting serious, as his teeth were gritted and his eyes narrowed as he put all of his strength into the punch, and was able to match Gray as a result.

For a second, anyway, as Gray simply opened his mouth, baring his teeth, and then fully showing the inside of his ape maw to Boros. A burst of Ki came flying out as he used [Mouth-Beam], the massive beam of Ki launching forward in the blink of an eye as Boros' now-duo of eyes went wide.

500,250,100 HP! (3,988,750,000/4,489,000,100)

It slammed into him, sending Boros flying back into the air with a hiss of pain, but the alien recovered quickly. He rolled to the side, his body smoking from the heat of the Ki, but his exterior shifted a bit as fresh skin took its place and healed.

He's strong, fast, and a pretty good fighter, but he doesn't have the extra shit I do, except for the regeneration.

Gray could see how Boros was a match for Saitama now - both of them men fought pretty similarly. Boros definitely had more skill overall, as his movements were more efficient and his technique much better than the bald heroes, but he also relied on his pure strength too much. He had yet to use any Ki blasts or any of the boss-like skills that even Raditz could.

By comparison, Gray had a ton of skills, most of which were very high-level now. Even his Kaio-Ken was sitting at a high level now, allowing his body not to be as strained as it should've been, even as he kept up the technique for multiple minutes.

I can run circles around him, even without focusing on using one fighting style. Though, as fun as this is, I won't draw it out too long!

Gray grinned, his teeth bared as Boros stabilized himself. The alien tensed, and a blast of pink Ki surrounded him as he shot downward again, grinning as he cocked back his fist. In response, Gray channeled his new fighting style, [Martial Arts Style: Garou], as he made use of his training with Garou.

Boros' fist barreled at Gray's chest, looking like it would surely make contact with the massive torso, but then, simply didn't. Gray flowed like water, letting one fist fly past his torso, then another past his face, and then a third past his shoulder. Boros' hands moved in a blur, the man putting everything he had into each punch as he blasted past Gray with every blow. He punched at his back from behind, missing as he spun around in front of him and lashed out with a kick, only for Gray's body to flow backward and dodge the kick.

This really is busted!

With how massive Gray's Ozaru form was compared to Boros' much smaller frame, it shouldn't have been possible to dodge all the blows in this way, but he simply did anyway. Punch after punch missed, causing Boros to only become more excited as he couldn't even land a blow on Gray.

But this isn't just a fight. You humiliated me before, so I'll return the favor!

Gray dodged another punch to his chest and then raised his hands, slamming them down in a Ki-coated and attack-boosted two-handed hammer.

350,580,120 HP! (4,138,419,980/4,489,000,100)

They slammed into Boros from above, sending the alien flying downward again, but Gray narrowed his eyes and raised his hand as a portal appeared below the man. He then slammed his fist upward, catching Boros as he came flying through another portal from above, and sent him back upward.

279,250,220 HP! (3,912,989,760/4,489,000,100)

It's much higher level now, so I can do this!

Gray grinned as Boros came rocketing up through the bottom portal, lashing his leg out instead of stomping downward. As his foot pounded into the side of Boros, crushing his entire body with the force and causing a burst of air to shoot through him, the alien was sent flying sideways as a third portal appeared. 

298,170,500 HP! (3,812,989,760/4,489,000,100)

He appeared to Gray's left this time, and Gray opened his mouth, letting out a [Mouth-Beam] to send Boros back through the portal before he could recover.

398,220,100 HP! (3,520,069,770/4,489,000,100)

Boros came back through the right portal, and Gray upper-cutted his body, sending him upward and diagonally as a fifth portal formed to the side of Gray's head. 

325,190,000 HP! (3,277,125,070/4,489,000,100)

Boros went launching through it, his eyes wide with pain as blow after blow came in a fraction of a second, and was sent back through. Another duo of portals appeared in front of and behind Gray, and he punched Boros forward this time, sending him through it as he came flying out from behind.

332,559,000 HP! (3,074,588,075/4,489,000,100)

Gray spun around, effortlessly catching Boros again with a punch as he came from behind and sending him back to the front.

337,789,990 HP! (2,817,998,085/4,489,000,100)

What transpired next was the most dangerous game of whack-a-mole ever played, as Boros' head barely appeared out of one portal before he was promptly sent back through it, causing him to come through another one and then meet the same fate.

347,720,990 HP! (2,817,998,085/4,489,000,100)

359,110,000 HP! (2,525,997,108/4,489,000,100)

355,220,570 HP! (2,319,881,000/4,489,000,100)

350,700,090 HP! (2,190,225,000/4,489,000,100)

370,150,000 HP! (1,995,115,070/4,489,000,100)

372,999,100 HP! (1,711,220,170/4,489,000,100)

377,775,280 HP! (1,425,780,190/4,489,000,100)

"GRAH! YOU'RE REALLY THE ONE!" 

The chain was finally broken as, after numerous trips through the various portals, Boros finally gave up on trying to make sense of what was happening. Instead, he took the pure power approach, just letting out a loud roar as Gray's fist came barreling at him.

Gray's eyes widened slightly, and he hissed as he pulled back his hand, stopping his punch as a massive ball of blue Ki appeared around Boros, looking like a [Ki Explosion] as it flung out around him. Gray was forced to shoot backward, his portals becoming caught in the blast. As Boros was finally free from the chain of blows, he grinned maniacally, stopping his output of Ki into the ball as it started to fade away.

Not bad. He's got a fuck-ton of Ki.

Gray already knew that from his [Observe], but Boros' explosion of Ki just exemplified it.

That regeneration is really annoying. 

The man had already nearly entirely recovered from his onslaught, and a lot of the damage during the portal-chain had instantly been negated by his wounds healing. Aside from a huge energy drain, Boros was as good as new.

On one hand, Gray was glad because that meant the battle wouldn't end quickly, and he'd have more chances to humiliate Boros and kick his ass. On the other hand-

I'm going to have to take him down in one blow if I don't want to have a battle of endurance. I'm stronger, but I don't think I'm so much stronger that I can get a decently-powered [Kokuyo] off when he doesn't use many Ki techniques himself.

If Boros wouldn't accept a beam clash, then Gray would never get the chance to charge up his [Kokuyo]. Luckily for him, just as he was thinking that, Boros seemed intent on giving Gray the chance he needed.

"I'll have to go all out against you! I'll release the destructive energy sealed within me!" Boros yelled, grinning psychotically as he puffed his chest out, and the area around his chest-eye started to glow with an intense and bright blue light. Gray's eyes widened as his Ki started to funnel to that one point, his blue veins seeming to flow, and his lips twitched upward.

Exactly what I wanted!

"You think you can beat me in something like this, dumbass?!" Gray smirked, cupping his hands at his sides as a ball of pure-black ki formed.

In pure Ki reserves, he has me beat. Even with Kaio-Ken x10, he has me beat by a shit-ton, but ki reserves aren't everything!

There was a reason the Kamehameha reigned supreme over any other Ki-beams - it wasn't just about how much energy you had, but how you funneled that energy, formed it, and used it. If all Ki-beams were made equal, then everyone would've simply raised their palm and skipped the whole charging up part.

I'm confident that my Kokuyo will beat whatever the hell you can muster, Boros!

The ball of black Ki within Gray's palms started to pulse, growing wider as the air around him became filled with static. The world started to shake, and if Gray had looked around him, he would've seen Saitama's fight with Orochi stop as all eyes turned to the duo. His palms started to burn as it grew larger, the air around him being sucked in as even the dark sky engulfing him seemed to become impossibly dimmer. Far below, on the already deeply cratered surface of Monas, the ground cratered down even more as power filled the air. Rocks and dust started to float upward, filling the air.

Meanwhile, Boros wasn't a pushover. His chest continued to spark, beams of lightning flickering out and streaking across the dark sky around him. His bright blue veins started to glow even brighter, illuminating the sky around him as Gray's Kokuyo did the opposite. His eye turned a bit red, streaks of vein-like lines filling it as he stared down at Gray. Then, in an instant, he fired.

"WITH THIS, EVEN YOUR BONES WILL BE VAPORIZED!" Boros roared, flexing his chest as a massive beam of blue light shot forward.

It tore through the air, expanding outward as it became thick and wide, intent on devouring everything in its path. It blasted forward, lighting up the entirety of the dark planet for thousands of miles in each direction, shining even on the other side of Monas like a bright sun. If it had been aimed down at Monas, it would've effortlessly destroyed the massive planet, even as it was many times larger than Earth, in less than a second. 

In response, Gray jutted his hands forward, his teeth bared and his grin wide, "[Kokuyo!]"

The beam of pure darkness slammed forward just as wide and quickly, contrasting with Boros' beam as it seemed to blend in with the dark sky around it. It sucked in the light around it, dragging in the bright blue light of Boros' sun and extinguishing it as he blasted forward.

The two beams met in the middle, and the entire planet shook from the impact. The air felt heavy as it shook, with streaks of lightning shooting outward in every direction as one half of the sky seemed brighter than even a sun, while the other half looked as if every lumen of light had been snuffed out. Day met night, and there could only be one victor.

Far below, the heroes attempting to help Saitama fight Orochi stumbled, with even Bang nearly falling as the ground under him shook like a violent earthquake. The ground split and cratered, the entire planet feeling the aftershocks of the two beams clashing, and Celia was silently worried that the entire planet might be destroyed.

Her worries were well-founded, as the surface of Monas shifted violently, being ripped from Orochi's grip even as it was part of him. Ravines formed, streaks of lava shot upward and flowed on the ground, and jagged peaks of mountains came shooting upward. The roots of the Tree of Might were ripped from the ground, the tree starting to slant to the side as it looked as if it might fall over.

"Not bad!" Gray grinned widely, his arms extended as his beam clashed with Boros. The two beams of light were sprayed against each other, expanding outward like massive opposing walls - one of pure light, and one of pure darkness.

But, it's not good enough!

Gray grinned even wider, surely looking psychotic as his large teeth were bared, and he shoved his hands forward harder. The Kokuyo slammed forward, slowly inching Boros' attack back as the aliens' eyes went wide.

"W-What?! Even the destructive energy within me isn't enough?!" Boros roared, staring with wide eyes, which were a mixture of awe and disbelief. As his confidence wavered, the massive bright beam of light wavered as well, and there was no recovering.

Gray's beam of darkness exploded forward, pounding through Boros' as it overpowered his attack. It pushed the bright blue wall back further and further, ensuring the sky was only bright for a few seconds as it extinguished the sun-like light. 

"H-How?!" Boros spat out, his eyes still wide with awe as his own attack was pushed back at him. It completely overpowered him, and the massive beam of pure-black ki finally made contact, consuming the entirety of Boros' body.

1,570,990,280 HP! (2,918,009,820/4,489,000,100)

Boros was sent launching backward from the blast as Gray just grinned insanely, pushing his arms forward as he pumped more and more Ki into the attack. The world around him dimmed again, the bright light of Boros' attack gone as night took hold of the planet again.

It was a good fight, but…

1,297,150,100 HP! (1,670,297,150/4,489,000,100)

The stream of Ki didn't stop, and Boros' health was depleting rapidly as he was consumed by the black beam.

Now, it's time for you to die!

1,650,270,990 HP! (7,250,995/4,489,000,100)

Gray gritted his massive teeth, still grinning as he pushed the final bit of Ki he needed into the beam.

With this, it's my win-

"[METEORIC BURST!]" 

And then, in a split second, the sky had changed once again. The pure darkness, which had fought so hard to shove back Boros' light, was snuffed away in an instant.

Well, shit-

In a fraction of a second, the world was consumed in light.
