Chapter 2359 Out Of Control
Had Rui not employed Temporal Disharmony moments before the man moved, he would have undoubtedly been dead. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
WHOOSH!
Rui barely evaded the coursing incoming blow with the powerful hypnotic impediment. His hypnosis had always been extremely potent, far more so than the norm, but especially so when he was in his Megamind state.
Time sped up to a blinding blur in the Convergence's eyes.
He lost sight of Rui.
He lost sight of the world.
He lost sight of his own body.
The technique worked.
Yet, the consequences of its success were more grave than he had expected.
BOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!
The devastating power of a Martial Master erupted out of his control of his Martial Mind.
Each step shattered heaven and earth asunder, leaving a vast valley in his wake. Each movement the Convergence made set the entire atmosphere for a hundred kilometers ablaze due to the sheer friction his movements had with the world around him. RUMBLE!!!
A truly mind-boggling amount of seismic and sonic radiation exploded from his being as a result of every movement he made.
Every twitch produced an unfathomable amount of energy output, sinking into the radiation.
All because the Convergence's Martial Mind was extraordinarily lagging behind his Body.
Ordinarily, each Master possessed the power to bring the world around them to ruin with the simplest of gestures.
Even a sneeze could ravage a town.
Yet, this seldom happened.
All because Martial Masters possessed an extraordinary level of control of power over their power thanks to their heightened cognition, allowing them to ensure that not an iota of power went to waste in the environment as a result of their efficiency.
Unfortunately for the bloodlusted Convergence, Rui had foreseen it coming.
It wasn't easy applying the Flux Earther to high-pressure waves of sound, which was why he couldn't do it as well, but nonetheless, he not only pulled the technique off but even took a page from his opponent's playbook.
He channeled his opponent's energy for his own attacks.
"Niflheim." A single whisper escaped him while the very world around them began freezing over. It froze over as the realm of frost descended upon heaven and earth.
In an instant, it began snowing as the humidity in the air began condensing spontaneously. The land around them froze for a while, and the temperature even lowered. Within moments, drops of oxygen and nitrogen began depositing in the world around them. Yet, it was unable to cool down the rage that burned in the depths of the Convergence's eyes.
He couldn't absorb the cold.
"YOUR WORTHLESS DOMAIN CANNOT HURT ME, BOY!" A guttural roar escaped him as he desperately leashed out against Rui with a barrage of wild attacks that threatened to flatten Rui should they have landed.
Yet, they didn't.
WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH!
Blow after blow, Rui sidestepped everything that was thrown at him.
The attacks were blindingly fast, reduced to indistinct blurs that left ruinous destruction that spread out around them unhampered.
"HYRAGH!" His kick cleaved through the atmosphere with such force that it left an inferno behind as it surged towards him.
WHOOSH!
Rui ducked sharply before summersaulting away at the nick of the moment.
BOOOOOOM!!!
A powerful drop-kick ravaged the world asunder at the very spot he was less than a microsecond prior.
"AAAAARRRGHH!!!" the Convergence snarled with deep frustration as he unleashed a furious onslaught of attacks that threatened to crush Rui where he stood. Yet, despite that, not only did none of them touch him, but Rui strengthened his domain more and more with each wave of destructive power that the man unleashed.
A poetic scene of profound contrast unfolded before the few who could even witness the ongoing battle.
A Master with unparalleled energy and power over which he was losing control, fighting against one with far less power but extraordinary control over what little power he had.
A battle that would play a bigger role in the future of East Panama raged outside the Shionel Confederation.
