[Chi inhibitors deactivated]
[Chi can now be used freely]
[Warning! Others can now detect your Chi]
A string of warnings played inside my head informing me of the changes being made throughout the suit.
or,
I made this anti-chi detection feature into my suit a long time ago when I realized that one day I might have to sneak up on someone who is a master of chi. This stealth technology was supposed to be perfect as it was capable of suppressing and hiding my chi completely... if it just didn't have one specific disadvantage.
The chi-inhibitors in my suit didn't just completely hide my chi from others but also actively negated it as long as it was active, keeping it under a particular level, a level that could be termed as ordinary for humans. For now, this was a double-edged sword for anyone using chi... although in my case, it wasn't that much of a disadvantage since I already possessed a supernaturally strong body and a very well-made super suit.
Hmm, now that I think about it, one can even say that right now my technique of completely suppressing and hiding my chi is like Zetsu from HXH but what I truly need to be capable of is to be able to perform something like In where I can make full use of chi even while hiding it.
"Interesting. Something just changed in you. I can feel it..., a new power maybe, or is it magic?... Tell me, are you a demigod as well?" Ares asked, curiously tilting his head at me.
"Hmm? Nope, just a human who wants to kill a god and go back home." I answered before firing a couple of more shots from my shoulder cannon at him.
As raw energy continued to course through the lasso, a peculiar magical charge started to build up within the magical tool, intensifying with each passing moment until the lasso of submission could no longer contain the growing power. Finally, after a few more seconds, an immense surge of divine energy erupted outward from the lasso with a resounding *Boom*, manifesting as purely chaotic lightning and thunder.
The huge surge of resulting energy successfully pushed Diana and her lasso away from Ares, but it also created another opportunity for me as it failed to completely push me away, courtesy of the nanobots I was currently using to stand my ground.
Rather than being overwhelmed by Ares' might, I chose to delve deeper within myself, focusing on harnessing the true power of my chi against the Olympian god. As I reached into my inner chi reserves and directed this energy throughout my body into one specific location, it accumulated in my right hand, hardening and slightly expanding my muscles there while covering it with a light, cyan-colored aura.
"Block this, motherfucker," I exclaimed as I delivered an extremely powerful right hook straight into Ares' face, causing a mini sonic boom while forcing even his knees to buckle under the impact. Even his now slightly dented helm appeared to have loosened from his head under the force of the single punch. A blow with the combined strength of my chi, the natural superhuman capabilities of my body, and the innate strength of my armor proved too much for Ares to stop completely. It was more than about 150 tons of force in a single punch which was quite a lot for the current Ares.
Of course, this was only effective because Ares was nowhere near his original power. Otherwise, he probably wouldn't even have flinched if I had hit him with the same strength when he was at his peak.
"Diana, now," I instructed with an urgent voice, following which Wonder Woman who had somewhat recovered from the energy explosion in her lasso, again used it to bind Ares, but this time, she had started using most of her strength from the very start compared to how she was holding back before. It looked like she had learned well from her defeat. "Here," I said as I resummoned my All-Blades and threw one of them towards her before quickly moving behind Ares.
"What the... what are you...? AAAAHHHHH" Ares tried to exclaim in confusion but before he could understand what was happening, I had already plunged one of the fiery blades into his back seeing which Diana also understood the assignment and followed suit as she pierced her new burning blade into Ares' chest with a primal cry.
"You yourself said that only one of divine blood can kill you, so I just made sure that there are no loopholes here," I answered with an impassive face. Both the All-Blades seemed to have pierced into the war god's heart and were actively burning his body, trying their best to destroy it to a crisp like what the pair of immortal slaying twin swords are supposed to do.
"... HAHAHA HAHAHAHA HAHHAHAHAHAHA. Do you think that you two have won? Do you think it is that easy to win against a god? No, you are far from victory. I am a god, a real god. There is no defeating me. War will always exist and as long as it does, so will I... I AM INEVITABLE."
