Chapter 7 - chapter 7 :- the festival

Sol managed to defeat Stella while Salem fought Etoile. Etoile was Nyat Kabuta's student. Nyat had invented the techniques and taught them to Etoile. Etoile wanted to be the strongest man In the world, so when he thought Nyat had taught him all his techniques, he summoned the Spirit Weapon, a pistol he named Etoile ( ya habibi /O , My Beloved). Etoile fired the pistol, but Nyat caught the bullet and said, "Is this how you shoot your teacher? Get out and don't come back!" After that, Nyat joined the forces of evil, not to kill like skulk, but for a plan in his mind. He went to fight Salem and Sol against Skulk's wishes and allowed Salem to kill him and take his body so that Salem could kill Etoile and avenge all those Etoile had killed using Nyat's techniques. Nyat didn't want to harm his student, but he wanted retribution. Etoile used the same pistol to fight Salem, but Salem dodged all the blows and fought Etoile with his weapon (thuluth). When the outcome was about to be decided For Etoile, Salem remembered Niyat Kaputa's words as he gave him his body: "Why do we fight? Why must humans be racist? Look at the fish; they don't fight despite their different colors. Look at the stars; they don't fight despite their different colors and shapes." Etoile fired at Salem, but Salem shouted, "The secret technique! The musicians!" At that moment, the world around Etoile changed. It became like an Indian tower, filled with musicians drumming. The music mingled with Salem's body, altering his form. Before he could reveal his new form, he collided with Etoile, causing an explosion that destroyed the tower and killed Etoile, thus expelling them from the alternate world. Amidst the tower's rubble in the real world, Etoile's mutilated body lay at the center, gazed upon by a hideous creature. It had two eyes, each containing four more, four wings, and four horns—two above its forehead and two below its lower jaw. Its muscles were inhumanly muscular, with ribs protruding from its chest, embracing those muscles. Its skin was black, glowing with a purple aura. He had no star on his cheek, but rather a mark above his forehead with three colors (blue/purple/red). This was Salem, and this was his new form. The blue was the color of his star, the purple was the star of Nyat kapote, and the red was the star of Mary, which Nyat had taken from her. Amidst the rubble, Stella stood weeping for her husband, while skulk and Destruction stood silently. Skulk stepped forward, laughing. "Great, great! What a fun festival! What a great job! Now It's my turn." Skulk removed his mask, revealing his face. He took off his suit to reveal a transparent shirt that showed off his muscles and hairy body. Skulk said, "You all know me as Skulk, but my real name is Fred Festival, and I want a festival." Fred took out some records and said, "Leo made weapons from the flesh of fighters, and I said, 'Doesn't their soul have more power?' So I made a weapon from the soul of every strong man In the world. I killed them all!" A DJ ghost emerged from the rubble, took Fred's record, and played it. Huge waves of music began to destroy the city, crushing Sol and Salem. Giant waves tore down buildings and killed people. The music drowned out the screams of people as their bodies were buried under the rubble. Fred said, "I call this weapon Disco. What do you think? Isn't it fun? A festival isn't complete without music, and I have two more records." Salem used his four wings, four leather wings like a bat's, and flew until he reached Fred. But Fred took off his belt and strapped Salem with it. Fred said, "This belt Is also made of the souls of fighters. Oh, I am such killer!" He said this laughingly. Sol approached, transforming, and tried to avoid the waves and whips, but he failed. Fred gave the Ghost the second record. When the Ghost received the second record, waves appeared in the sky like sound. They resembled electromagnetic waves, the opposite of the sound waves on the first record. These sounds, which Fred called "musical," struck the rubble of the city. They obscured the difference between earth and sky; only the sky fell and the earth rose. What was known as Washington City no longer existed, only great ruins. Fortunately, Sol managed to send Mary to another location before Fred could even remove his skull mask. Sol climbed the sounds until he reached Fred, but he was no match for him. Fred fought with weapons made from the souls of fighters, and Sol wasn't strong enough to replicate them. Salem used his strongest techniques, and so did Sol, but Fred was stronger than both of them. Fred used the last record. Salem absorbed the Immense power of the last record before it could activate. Salem quickly grabbed Sol and escaped using the speed of his wings. There wasn't even time to open a portal. The final sound was terrifying, filled with frIghtening music and a giant sonic dome. Everything Inside the dome shattered into atoms. Nothing remained but Fred and the DJ's ghost. The city was gone. Sol and Salem stood contemplating Fred's power. Here, Sol used a power he had kept secret. It was the power he had been training for all this time since the Great monster appeared. He had simply copied the other techniques, focusing all his training on this one. It was an extremely dangerous technique that allowed him to multiply his power and continue multiplying It until it psses his opponent's. Sol doubled the power of his transformation and gained a new ability he called "Supernova." This transformation allowed him to enter the sonic dome without being shattered into atoms. When he arrived, he shattered Fred's belt and records. In less than a second, Fred summoned his Spirit Weapon. His spirit possessed a weapon resembling a dagger used by the ancient Indians called "Katar," which Fred named "I am so powerful." Fred attacked Sol with his Spirit Weapon. He was astonished, yet still smiling. The power of Sol's new transformation was to destroy techniques. Just as he destroyed the Dome of Sound, he destroyed the Spirit Weapon, then he struck Fred's lower jaw and shattered it, then he used his axe to smash Fred's bones, the gravel and atoms that were once the city of Washington
