Chapter 5 - Chapter 4

"Path of the Demon Star: Martial Law Reborn"

Time: Age 765 | 3 Years Until Android Arrival

Outer Orbit — 3 Months After Android Warning

A Frieza Force starship floats through the abyss.

Inside, I meditate — hovering cross-legged in anti-gravity.

My aura burns silently around me, like a miniature sunstorm — red-black flares edged with streaks of green as it dims and ,gets denser the pressure increase from the heat.

Behind my sealed mask, my breath is slow. Focused.

The martial style I'm forging has begun to take shape.

But to complete it… I need a life and death battle. And a direction to strength.

(Lord Zino)

I arrive on a small ancient world orbiting a dead black star.

Here lives Lord Zino — a knower of all thing's in the universe , keeper of ancient martial secrets and battle records across the universe .

He's short, hooded, ageless — and utterly annoyed.

Zino (grumbling):

"People always want to know about the strong ones. No one brings me tea or a decent book."

I offer him not to take his life .

Cumber (calmly):

"In exchange for the data… I promise to not bring down your life ."

Zino (blinking):

"…A what now?"

Cumber (grinning slightly):

"I do not wish to repeat myself ."

Zino (eyes lighting up in fear):

"Okay then, Let's talk business."

Zino's Records — Report

Zino (summoning ancient scrolls of light):

"Here's your intel. A gang Warriors is starting to control the North part ,of the galaxy where king Cold ruled over, their is an android with a copy ability he can ,temporarily copy the abilities of thoes he touches on the neck his name goes by...7,3 "

The galactic Patrol can help you since they ,are lookin to capture him there. is an agent there to help.... named Merus.

Location : northern Galaxy

Battle Power Est. 2.7billion

A week later.....in a universe ship.

Galactic Petrol members moving around.

Merus

And who are you?

I scan him infront of me with the power I feel ,from him is in the air like a pressure I can't sense his ki.

Cumber

I'm a sayain my name is cumber and I wanted to defeat Android 73 and his criminal gang.

A moment of silence.

Merus

Well I can sense that you have great power but that rage , you channel deep down it may consume you.

Cumber

It's the source of strength. But you can capture them after i defeat them.

I smirk at him and I look to Lyra.

Lyra

I'm a cerealian my name is Lyra....and they say they have the greatest , sniper in that ganag I want that title.

Merus

Since we are going together we have a few stops, maybe you can help us there as Well.

I and Lyra both nod.

Week later an Orange planet and at the, atmosphere a universe ship is there.

On the surface on a mountain range.

Merus

There are a group of blackmarket traders here to make a deal, they give slaves to other planets and races.

Cumber

Well I will fight them.

Lyra

U can't have all the fun.....I'll find their location.

With two universe ships parked. Aliens that look like komodo Dragons.

Ska

Well how is the goods...if it's in bad condition then no deal.

Scatter

I can assure you that it's all in good care.

Boom

A blue-green ki blast explodes.

And both fall to the ground.

A figure moves over at high speed a red-black trail.

Cumber

Well....with that sniping of yours nobody can be safe from you.

Lyra

Well thats the goal....No fists needed to get the job done.

Cumber

But that's not fun they don't even get to,challenge yourself and learn their abilities.

After 1 year of battles — Orbiting a star

Floating just outside the orbit , suspended in the void near the star 's light, I begin building my own techniques — from the experiences , pain, battle, and theory.

Cumber

Martial Style:

A style forged from burning instinct and controlled violence. It fuses:

Jiren's Brutal Ki Control & Starlike Pressure

Hanma Body Principles (bone-cracking torque, tendon shift, internal muscle structure)

Ikari Demon Form and zenkai boosts Instinctual Growth

Hypoesthesia Concepts (weight negation, muscle redirection, pain resistance)

Deflection & Repulsion fused with Deceptive Feints

Signature Foundation

Xiaoli : Weightless

I release all muscle tension, allowing instant redirection of motion. This creates deceptive angles and explosive re-entry into attacks.To use my full power effortlessly.

Used to deflect stronger blows and flow between attackers

Looks like teleportation — actually extreme kinetic redirection

. Demon Back Pressure:

By merging Hanma's bone control with Hypoesthesia, I form a temporary "armor" of compressed muscle fibers and ki. While boosting all my phycial body attributes through martial arts.

Nullifies blunt damage

Enhances torque-based strikes

. Flame Ki

I channel my ki through micro veins in my limbs, heating my blood and aura.

Strikes burn internal body layers

Ki becomes harder to disperse

My blasts melt energy shields over time

. Impact Absorption & Redirection

Through trained Hypoesthesia and aura manipulation, I absorb kinetic force into my body and fire it back like a coiled spring.

. Absolute Will Lock (WIP)

A technique still forming — a fusion of Jiren's pressure aura and focused intent.

Into the eyes with a glare.

Projects fear, pressure, and mental weight without movement.

Shatters attacks of weaker enemies

Will evolve once my S-Cells reach 100%

Final Training

In the closing stretch before second Year begins:

I spar with Lyra inside a gravity chamber simulating sun-core pressure

I fly through solar flares to compress and harden my aura

I burn off weaker techniques and rebuild only refined ones

I meditate to develop the mental stillness for Absolute Will Lock

"Hunter of War:

Time: Age 766 | 2 Years Before the Androids

Galactic Patrol HQ — Sector 71

The sound of sirens echoes in the corridor of the Galactic Patrol station as Merus, one of the highest-ranking agents, walks up to you and Lyra.

He's calm, composed, yet clearly impressed.

Merus (neutral tone):

"You want to come along?

This isn't training. These are real criminals.

The kind that gut entire cities to make a point."

I nod, eyes locked.

Cumber (calmly):

"Good.

I'm done with sparring."

Lyra (grinning):

"Besides, you'll need someone to cover your blind spots."

Merus gives a faint smile.

Merus:

"Then let's go. You're now… temporary enforcers."

Host Planet: Dremoss IV — Bander's Territory

The ship enters orbit around a dying red planet. Once a trade colony — now ruled by Bander the Red Maw, an alien hippo with regeneration abilities, a titanium-like hide, and a growing empire of controlled systems.

Merus drops you off near a volcanic mountain range.

Merus (via communicator):

"This gang has three lieutenants. We'll handle sectors one and two.

Your target is Bander. Third zone. He's the strong one."

You nod, scanning the area.

SYSTEM SCAN:

Name: Bander

Race: Saurian-Hippo Hybrid

Base BP: 700,000,000

Transformed BP: 1.4 Billion

Abilities:

Titan Core Hide

Reactive Regeneration

Ki Condenser (dense punches that implode)

My look at Lyra.

Cumber:

"Let's hunt."

Battle Against Bander the Red Maw

As i and Lyra approach the ruins of a shattered trade outpost, a massive figure emerges.

Bander, 10-feet tall, armor-plated skin glowing like lava.

Behind him — a swarm of gang soldiers. Lyra vanishes instantly into a cloaking ki-silhouette.

Bander (growling):

"Who dares enter my warzone?"

I step forward, aura flaring — Ikari Demon Form roaring to life.

Long Hair lifts up tips of it turn a mix black-Green.

Eyes turn pure white no pupils and irises flashing green erratically .

Aura glows Dark Red with a black ki outline around the body.

My base power now sits at 10 million, surging x100 → 1 Billion,

—but i hold it back, channeling only 400 million, amplified by Martial Star techniques → 800 million.

Cumber (cold):

". I'm taking you apart… layer by layer."

Lyra's Sniper Dance

As Bander's gang swarms me , blue flashes cut through the battlefield.

Scope strike: A high pressure condensed blast .

Lyra

invisible to their eyes, snipes every soldier with pinpoint shots to pressure points and ki centers.

Each shot drops one, two, three enemies.

Lyra (calmly, through earpiece):

"Cumber — he's transforming. Get ready."

Bander Transforms

With a deep roar, Bander's form bulges — hide thickening, muscles surging with internal power.

His aura becomes brutal and magnetic, pulling in energy from the environment.

Bander (roaring):

"Red Maw Evolution!!"

Power spikes → 1.4 Billion BP

Cumber vs Bander

He comes at me like a freight train — but I've already entered my Martial Star.

His punch comes — i twist my shoulder, lean to the left, and let the force pass through my ribs using Xiaoli .

Then — Flame ki Counter.

Overheat punch: ki blast power fuses into my fists.

My aura wraps my fist like molten iron and slams into his jaw.

BOOM!!!

He growls — his jaw cracked, but instantly regenerating.

He slams his giant fists into the ground — it erupts with compressed ki bursts that launch pillars of energy.

I jump back, then cloak my body with pressure barrier

tanking the incoming strike.

Then — a new shift.

Martial Adaptation (During Battle)

SYSTEM ALERT — Ki Pressure Increase Detected

→ Ki Adaptation Activated:

Ki Flow Rate: +12%

Technique Execution Efficiency: +9%

Weak Point Analysis: Active

My white-pupiled gaze begins analyzing his defense style. I notice it: his regeneration needs 2 seconds to fully process deep tissue strikes.

I rush in — feint left, Xiaoli , bounce into an uppercut, and slam a burning knee into his chest cavity. He is launched far back.

Out the creaked ground and rouble.

Bander (choking):

"Y-You… damn... freak!"

But he recovers — and slams a titanic double-fist down on me.

I block with crossed forearms — then spin backward and unleash:

Starburst Spiral

A vortex punch surrounded by infernal ki — it burns through his regen, rupturing his second heart.

Final Strike — Coordinated Finish

As he reels, Lyra suddenly appears behind him.

Her blue right eye locks onto his spine.

She fires a thin compressed piercing blast directly into his neural knot.

Bander howls — body spasms — and that's when i slam my Flame ki Fist directly through his chest.

Power impact: A condensed ki orb at much higher power .

Cumber

It's.....OVERR!!

BOOM

Bander chest glowing as my hand was inside condensing an orb— body explodes, the heart bursts, ki system offline. Then body becomes ashes.

Cumber(internally)

Only when you only focus your mind,with nothing but destruction can you be a destroyer.

I clinch my hand into as fist as I stare into deep space.

The remaining gang members surrender as Merus and the Galactic Patrol sweep in and apprehend the rest.

Merus (stepping forward):

"Not bad… You two are something else."

Cumber (breathing steady):

"He wasn't enough."

Lyra (wiping blood from lip):

"Then we'll find someone who is."

Target Planet: Harnex-5 | Criminal Syndicate Operation Hub

Briefing: Target Information

After the Bander mission, Merus provides the data as he flies alongside my ship through the void of deep space:

Merus (serious):

"Next target is a war tyrant named Raigar — a being built for destruction.

Battle Power: 2.5 Billion. He's the #2 commander under Android 73. Ruthless. Fast. Durable.

His second-in-command, Veeza, has a Battle Power of 1.7 Billion.

Veeza is yours, Lyra. You okay with that?"

Lyra (grinning):

"I've been waiting for a real test."

I hold her and and stare into her eyes.

As the vast space moves behind, through the window.

Cumber

Lyra I know we have not known each other long .but as it stands now the ,path we walk now is full of danger.

She walks up to me palm on my cheek , she kisses my cheek.

Lyra ( smile)

I'm aware but with us together...who in this universe can stop us.

Merus (nodding):

"Remember… these guys were built for war. Don't expect a fair fight."

Myself and Lyra lock fists, silently promising each other you'll survive — or fall together.

As over the travel and many defeating of villains. our bond has grown more then friends .

Planet Harnex-5: Criminal War Factory World

The ship drops through the crimson clouds of a heavily fortified, mechanized planet.

Volcanoes erupt in the distance, mixing ash with plasma fog.

Down below is a massive battle coliseum, swarming with gang soldiers.

Two presences erupt like stars trying to explode from within the planet.

Meerus

These are the targets here, is the data we have on them.

Raigar:

Race: Draphan Warlord (Bio-engineered Titan)

Height: 11 ft tall, covered in black cybernetic armor

Aura: Violent gold-red with sparks of lightning

BP: 2.5 Billion

Veeza:

Race: Neo-Hera Mutant

Height: 6'6", four arms, thin but muscle-dense

Hair: Metallic blue-white

Aura: Violet flickering like plasma

BP: 1.7 Billion

As we leave the ship to fly ,into the distance a figure at high speed. slams into Lyra before she could react.

Battle Begins: Lyra vs Veeza

As soon as i look at the impact spot, Veeza launches from the shadows — four fists flying at blitz speed.

Lyra vanishes, cloaked in Ki, appearing behind him.

The first strike lands — palm to his ribcage — but he twists all four arms, snapping at her neck, stomach, leg, and shoulder.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

She blocks two, takes two.

But the force is too much.

Lyra (gritting teeth):

"So that's how it's gonna be..."

Her blue eye glows — his ki network lights up in her vision.

Pattern flow read: the download process to a warrior fighting style as the battle goes on.

She dives back into range — not to snipe, but to go hand to hand, and weaves around his blows like a whisper, striking his nerve joints, vital channels, and pressure points. His limbs begin slowing.

I look up to see a powerful force coming my way.

Battle Begins: Cumber vs Raigar

Raigar lands with earth-breaking force. His massive body surges with lightning aura — he has tech-infused ki:

"Charge-Lock Ki", which binds enemy movements with electrical current.

I stare him down in base form,

My battle power now 10.5 million. I flare up into Ikari Demon Form, surging ×100 → 1.05 Billion

My hair lifts up tips mixed with green-red. My eyes pure white with my irises flashing green erratically.

Then

My martial techniques multiplier activates: ×2 → 2.2 Billion

Raigar (snorting):

"You're not even in my league."

Cumber (calm):

"You're right."

Cumber (aura surging, eyes glowing white):

"I'm above your league."

He vanishes. No warning.

I barely Xiaoli-shift my weight to dodge a thunderous right hook.

It rips the air where my head was.

He follows with a left elbow, then a kick —

I respond with Inferno Lariat, burning through his armored chest plate.

Boom!!

He skids back, laughs, and rips off the damaged armor, revealing tech-riddled muscle that's burning like magma.

Lyra's Advanced Sniping Combat

Meanwhile, Veeza is adapting.

His fourth arm gets disabled — Lyra sweeps his leg, flips up and uses point-blank sniper ki-blasts like rapid punches, every one hitting a weak ki vein.

He roars — and detonates a ki pulse point-blank.

She tanks it and grits through the pain.

Smoke and dust everywhere.

Lyra (grinning bloodily):

"You'll need more than fireworks."

She begins moving in a blitz pattern, flickering from weak point to weak point, disorienting him — her sniper blasts now acting like chisel strikes, cutting into his base defenses until—

CRACK!

Her palm strike knocks out his heart rhythm — he collapses in a sparking heap.

Lyra (breathing hard):

"One down."

Cumber's Battle Evolution

Raigar grows more violent, arms glowing, body charging with electric fury. His transformation begins.

Tech floods through his body

Veins blacken

Aura becomes like a collapsing star

Raigar:

"YOU THINK THIS IS MY PEAK?!

I AM THE STORM THAT KILLS GODS!!"

Battle Power: 2.5 → 5 Billion

Cumber (closing eyes):

"Perfect…" now we will die.

Star Flow: Advanced State

My Demon Martial Style adapts on instinct.

System Notice:

Martial Flow Evolution in Combat Activated

Stage: "Celestial Pulse "

+22% Reaction Time

+17% Weak Point Precision

+1 New Technique Unlocked

New Technique: Celestial Pulse Barrage

I weave my ki into rhythmic bursts that expand and collapse like stars.

Every strike builds into the next, burning through his defense and disrupting his regeneration by overloading his core.

I activate it — rushing in like a silent meteor —

– Blow to the chest → shockwave

– Elbow to throat → concussive fire

– Kick to ribs → tremor

– Uppercut → launches him

I rise after him… aura burning black-red with green

Final Strike:

" Starfall: Infernal Spiral Fist!!"

I whole body spins once, then drills i fist through his stomach, blowing out his back.

And as I smile a fist punches through my chest and I feel my ki draining.

Aura control + power impact + eye blast repel: A large about of ki fulls my eyes as they glow red with red trails, coming forth like a beast then it fires out to his head .at close rand while his arm is in my chest.

Cumber (blood flowing)

No I can kill u-you.... ahhhhhhhhh.

Boom

Aftermath

Raigar drops.

His body smolders. Dead.

Merus and the patrol arrive to restrain the remains of the warlord.and rush over to me and Lyra is already holding my body as she cries.

Merus (walking past):

"You two… are beginning to scare me."

Wait cumber wait quickly...load him onto the medical bay.

I look at Lyra as my vision fades

Lyra is bruised, scorched, and tired — but I am in a tank for the past 1 week.

I didn't just survive.i almost died

Lost Memory

I see the burning ruins and as I leave I see a tall figure, with white kitan armour and deep red eyes. And behind him a green skinned being with white hair in a gi I bearly remember.

Memory ends

I walk up in a gasp and I look at the fluid ,that my body is floating it.

I Scream in my mind.
