"Ding! Mission Issued: Second Battle with Vilgax?!"
"Mission Content: You once defeated Vilgax with overwhelming stats. This time—can you defeat him again? Can you crush him with pure skill?"
"Mission Reward: 30 Reward Points!"
"Tch…"
Ethen's lips twitched slightly.
"Only thirty points?" he muttered. "Is he really that worthless?"
Bang!
Vilgax staggered to his feet, gripping his long blade tightly.
Without a word, he lunged forward, slashing down with everything he had!
Ethen's armor shifted instantly.
His arms expanded, bulging like steel-forged muscle—
And then—
Pfft!
A second pair of armored arms burst out from his shoulders.
Tetramand state.
"DIE!!"
Vilgax roared, swinging straight for Ethen's neck!
"Prototype Tool—Gauntlet Mode!"
All four fists shot forward as the Prototype Tool wrapped around them, forming massive metallic knuckles!
CRACK!!
Four fists collided with the blade.
The ground shook.
The air exploded outward.
The blade shattered on the spot!
"DAMN IT!!"
Vilgax snarled, claws extending as he slashed wildly.
Ethen raised his elbows and smashed them down mercilessly—
CRACK!
Vilgax screamed.
His fingers snapped one by one.
Every finger—
Broken.
"Next… Boxing."
Ethen's expression remained calm as all four fists moved at once.
Perfect technique.
No wasted motion.
Punches hammered Vilgax's face—teeth exploded.
His chest—ribs shattered.
Bone after bone collapsed under the barrage.
Vilgax's entire body began to suffer catastrophic fractures.
"Oh my god…" Ben Without the Omnitrix stared in disbelief.
"Is the gap really this big? I thought this would be hard!" Eon swallowed nervously.
"Normally… Vilgax is the final boss. Ben Tennyson gets chased around like prey. But this Ethen—he's not a normal shapeshifter at all."
No wonder Dr. Paradox brought him.
Maybe his raw strength wasn't as monstrous as Brother Ben's—
But his methods?
Utterly ruthless.
Bang!!
Ethen unleashed one final four-fist strike.
Vilgax was sent flying like trash, crashing hard into the ground far away.
His eyes rolled, pain nearly knocking him unconscious.
"…Ah."
"I hit you too far."
Ethen flexed his fists and began walking toward him.
"I'll come to you instead."
Vilgax barely regained consciousness.
He saw Ethen approaching—
And fear swallowed him whole.
Once, he had chased Ben Tennyson like this.
Once, he had enjoyed that terror.
Now—
He was the one being hunted.
"No… I won't lose!!" Vilgax screamed, lifting both legs and kicking wildly!
"Pathetic." Ethen spread his four arms.
The Prototype Tool reshaped into a long staff.
He swung—
A thunderous staff technique crashed down!
CRACK!!
Vilgax's legs shattered.
"AAAAHHH!!"
Vilgax howled in agony, collapsing completely.
He couldn't move at all.
"…Good thing," Eon muttered faintly, "that I was only captured by this kid back then. If he'd wanted to kill me… I'd be dead."
Ben Without the Omnitrix turned away, unable to keep watching.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Ethen hacked down mercilessly with the Prototype Tool blade.
Blood sprayed.
Bone cracked.
The scene was brutal beyond words.
Time passed.
Vilgax was covered in wounds—
Yet his chest still barely rose and fell.
He was still clinging to life.
"…Why are you like a cockroach?" Ethen frowned.
"Unkillable."
He withdrew the bloodstained Prototype Tool, breathing heavily.
"I don't enjoy torturing people. Since that's the case—
I'll end it properly."
The Prototype Tool folded onto his back, transforming into a rocket backpack.
Flames erupted.
Ethen shot into the night sky.
Midair—
The extra Tetramand arms dissolved.
He abandoned that DNA.
Then—
He flipped downward.
A straight dive.
His palm extended toward the ground.
"Vilgax. Have you ever seen… A palm strike falling from the sky?"
As Ethen descended, his hand expanded rapidly—
Transforming into a colossal Way Big–level palm!
A divine crushing force descended!
"I—I'M GOING TO DIE!!"
Vilgax screamed, thrashing desperately.
BANG! BANG! BANG!!
Palm wind slammed down like artillery, pinning him in place.
He couldn't move.
"Run—RUN!!"
Ben Without the Omnitrix grabbed Eon and sprinted away.
Eon ran so fast his legs blurred.
"Ben Tennyson, move faster!! If I have to, I'll carry you!!"
They fled into the distance in total panic.
Ethen's ultimate move landed.
RUMBLE—!!!
The ground detonated.
Ethen's palm smashed Vilgax into fragments—
And obliterated the earth beneath him.
A human-shaped catastrophe.
"…Messy ending," Ethen muttered softly.
"But… I still beat him with skill, right?"
He looked at his bloodstained palm and sighed.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the mission!"
"Host has gained 30 Reward Points!"
A smile slowly spread across Ethen's lips.
The giant palm dissolved.
Blood dripped onto the ruined ground.
Still airborne, Ethen looked back at the abandoned town.
It had become rubble.
Evil Bens and righteous Bens were still locked in fierce combat.
A deadlock.
"Someone needs to end the Multiverse War."
Ethen smiled.
The rocket backpack ignited.
He shot forward.
In the distance—
Ben Without the Omnitrix stared blankly.
"…Did Ethen just slap Vilgax to death?"
"Yeah," Eon replied stiffly. "Like swatting a mosquito."
He watched Ethen fly back toward the battlefield.
Evil Bens…
Hold on.
Don't die at that monster's hands.
