Hakihito and the mysterious figure hurled themselves at each other, Hakihito ready to give it his all, while the mysterious figure watched him with an eerie calm.
Hakihito: "NOW WE'LL SEE WHO'S STRONGER BETWEEN US TWO!"
Mysterious figure: "There's nothing to see. We both already know how this will end. But I must admit, I really enjoyed fighting you. You actually made me break a sweat… which is surprising. Much more than I expected from you."
Hakihito: "Hahahahaha… Thanks for the compliment, but I don't need it from someone like you. Praising me won't save you from death."
Mysterious figure: "The same goes for you… Don't get too full of yourself, kid… those who believe too much in their own strength always end up badly."
Hakihito: "Look who's talking… weren't you the one boasting about your strength and calling yourself a 'divine being' just a moment ago? And now you're preaching to me?"
Mysterious figure: "Just remember, I warned you… you can't escape destiny. You can try to rebel however you want, but when something happens, it's because it was always meant to happen. And your fate has always been to die… in order to restore balance to the universe."
Hakihito: "Again with this bullshit… I'm so sick of your nonsense. I already told you—I don't give a damn about your crap about universes, cosmic balance, and all that. The only thing I care about now is fighting with all my strength to survive. And I sure as hell won't let myself be taken out by a bastard like you, who's been talking crap without making any sense since the beginning—just flapping your gums without doing a damn thing. I don't understand a word you're saying… not because I can't, but because I don't want to. I don't care what you do, I don't even care if you're divine or whatever. And I don't even want to know why you hate me so much anymore. But there's one thing I know for sure… I want to kill you with my own hands… I want to see the complete suffering in your eyes before you die… and that excites me like nothing else."
Hakihito: "I couldn't care less about your damn gods or your mission. So stop talking like a broken record and get ready, because soon there'll be nothing left of you but dust."
Mysterious figure: "You're truly a vile and repulsive being… a truly twisted and macabre creature… but I must say… absolutely excellent… no, I'd even say fantastic. Thank you, Hakihito… thank you for existing… if it weren't for you, maybe I would've never truly realized… HOW DEEPLY I HATE YOU WITH ALL MY BEING, FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART. YOU ARE A TRUE DEMON… BECAUSE OF YOU… THE COSMIC BALANCE IS CRUMBLING… YOUR EXISTENCE, NOW MORE THAN EVER, IS A DANGER TO EVERYTH—"
Hakihito: "FUCK YOU, YOU PIECE OF SHIT. SHUT UP. I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ANOTHER WORD. I'VE HAD ENOUGH. NOW SHUT UP AND DIE!"
Mysterious figure: "YOU'LL BE THE ONE TO DIE, YOU DEMONIC SCUM!"
The two began to release a tremendous power that shook both earth and sky, finally lunging at each other with their full might.
Hakihito threw a punch of unimaginable force, still surrounded by that strange violet aura.
The mysterious figure also unleashed a punch, shrouded in a fiery red aura. Neither of them wanted to give an inch.
Hakihito: "GO TO HELL, YOU SON OF A BITCH!"
Mysterious figure: "Sorry to inform you, but you'll be going there first!"
And then… BOOM.
The two opponents struck each other with such force that the entire city was obliterated—an entire massive metropolis, gone… reduced to ashes blown away by the wind.
For a moment, it seemed as if the world had stopped. A deafening silence covered the desolate land where nothing remained.
Surrounding it all was a vast wall of smoke and mist, hiding the result of that uncertain clash… or maybe not so uncertain…
Mysterious figure: "I warned you… your fate was already written."
Mysterious figure: "You should have faced me when you were still one of the Celestials. Back then, it would've been a fair fight. But like this… it was like beating up a child."
The huge wall of smoke slowly lifted, revealing the crushing victory of the mysterious figure, with Hakihito lying on the ground, on the brink of death, completely bloodied and destroyed.
Mysterious figure: "Clearly, in this state, you can't even walk—let alone fight."
Mysterious figure: "You know… it's a real shame, because things were just getting good. But unfortunately for you, you're still too weak."
Mysterious figure: "I almost feel sorry for finishing you off…"
Mysterious figure: "But only almost. Either way, I'm going to end you, bastard… you're too dangerous to be left alive."
Mysterious figure: "And especially now, you won't be able to use your little tricks from before."
Hakihito: "Shu…shut…shut up mother fucker…"
Mysterious figure: "Huh?"
Hakihito: "Shut up… bastard…"
Mysterious figure: "WOW, INCREDIBLE. You still have the strength to talk, even after I've reduced you to a human corpse? AMAZING."
Mysterious figure: "You've got some thick skin for a mortal, I'll give you that."
Hakihito: "Hahaha… and I'm supposed to be the inferior one… hahaha…"
Mysterious figure: "Tell me… what are your last words before I turn you into a red stain on the ground?"
Hakihito: "Your name…"
Mysterious figure: "What?"
Hakihito: "I just told you to tell me your name… asshole."
Hakihito: "Since I'm about to die, at least let me know the name of my killer. That way I might feel a little less frustrated...haha"
Mysterious figure: "Hahahahaha… you know, technically I shouldn't tell you… but since you're going to die any moment now, might as well grant you that final wish haha."
The figure begins to lift the white hood covering his head, ready to reveal his true identity to Hakihito…
Talia: "Hey...Hakihito...Hey big bro, wake up… big bro,come on wake up!"
