" LIGHTNING DRAGON'S FIST ! "
Seeing lightning cover Laxus' fist, Shanks did the same with the Busoshoku Haki. Then, slapping each other in the face, the two opponents stepped back with equal synchronization, as a bruise appeared on both of their faces.
" LIGHTNING DRAGON'S ROAR ! "
This time, it was a ray of lightning that attempted to strike Shanks. Grabbing his sword, the shichibukai made a quick movement and managed to cut the attack in half. Then, running towards Laxus, he covered his arm again with Busoshoku Haki and attempted to strike the mage.
However, before he could touch him, he saw Laxus turn his entire body into lightning. Striking into the void, Shanks looked up to see her rebuilding her body right above him.
" LIGHTNING DRAGON'S HEAVENWARD HALBERD ! "
Creating a lightning spear, Laxus aimed it at Shanks. Having to jump back to avoid it, Shanks saw the attack hit the ground and create a crack in the ground. Feeling shards of stone hit his face, the shichibukai was forced to close his eyes for a moment.
Taking advantage of this, Laxus' fist was already in front of his face and tried to punch him. Yet he only struck the void, as Shanks had suddenly vanished.
" What … ? "
Having ducked before Laxus' fist could strike him, Shanks then aimed his sword at Laxus. Seeing the sword at the last minute, Laxus took a step back. Unfortunately, the tip of the sword managed to touch the skin of his abdomen and create a long gash.
" GNNNNNNNN ! " Laxus growled.
Then, making a jump towards him, Shaks swiveled his hips, before hitting Laxus' face with the heel of his left foot. Getting hit, the mage fell back.
Immediately raising his sword, Shanks raised it above Laxus. However, before he had time to knock him down, Laxus covered his body in lightning and used it to increase his speed. Scrambling to his feet, he avoided being hit by the blade of the sword.
Then he aimed his fist at Shanks face again. Seeing him do it, Shanks only reacted to closing his eyes. Yet despite this, he managed to move his head to the side to dodge the punch without a hitch. Then, bending his good arm, he hit Laxus' abdomen with a nudge.
Spitting out saliva, Laxus took a step back, while holding his stomach. Wanting to take advantage of his advantage, Shanks aimed the tip of his sword to finish off his opponent.
Barely having time to lift his face to see it, Laxus was punched in the face by Laxus' gun. It was a powerful and devastating blow, which would have managed to behead a dragon's head.
Still, the sword didn't do the dragon hunter any damage. Indeed, not having had time to use his arms to protect himself, Laxus had simply opened his mouth and closed his jaws on the blade of the sword to stop it.
Seeing this, Shanks immediately pulled his gun to loosen it. His efforts were in vain. Biting the sword with all his might, the mage gave him no chance to retrieve it. Then, noting that Shanks could no longer use his arm to protect himself, Laxus positioned both of his arms back, while covering them with lightning.
" LIGHTNING DRAGON'S DOUBLE FIST ! "
Refusing to let go of his sword, Shanks covered his chest with Busoshoku haki before feeling Laxus hit him. Gritting his teeth, the Shichibukai tried to stay still, as he squeezed the handle of his sword with all his might. Clenching the weapon with his teeth too, Laxus eventually let go because of the power of his own attack.
Immediately, Shaks' body flew back. However, thanks to his protection, he managed in an instant to put his feet on the ground to slow down his race, before coming to a complete stop.
" Not bad. " Asserted the pirate.
Suddenly running his hand under his chin, he noticed he was bleeding. For his part, resting a hand on his chest, Laxus tried to keep the gash in his abdomen from opening further.
Seeing him in worse shape than him, Shanks covered his sword with Busoshoku haki before rushing towards him. Running in a zigzag way, he made Laxus constantly move his eyes so as not to lose sight of him.
Then, finally, Shanks found himself in front of him.
However, one like the other, the two men stopped by feeling bands suddenly wrap around them.
" What … ? "
" Laxus-sama ! " Cried Heine.
Electricity ran through the strips and hit the two men. Screaming, Shanks clenched his teeth in pain. For his part, sucking in the lightning, Laxus now had his cheeks swollen before screaming.
" LIGHTNING DRAGON'S ROAR ! "
Unable to avoid the attack, Shanks was hit. The attack blew up the area and forced Heine to position his arms in front of his face. Then, finally opening her eyes, she saw a huge trail on the ground caused by the attack, while Shanks was in the center of the trail. Clothes charred and having a few wounds, Shanks had been forced to back up several meters.
Yet he was still standing and fit to continue fighting him.
"Tsss. " Thought Laxus. " I hit him with all my might and he's barely hurt. " "
" Laxus-sama! Let me help you. " Heine exclaimed, positioning himself at his side.
Swelling his chest, Grand Incursio created two torrents of flames that came out of his two heads. Seeing them move towards him, Tatsumaki just created an air shield in order to protect himself.
Behind her, Blast had his hands resting on Genos' chest and healing him.
" With this, you will soon be able to fight again. "
But already, Kabbe was rushing towards him, while being in the form of Super Saiyan.
" I will not let you do it. "
Nonetheless, hitting Blast, the saiyan was surprised to strike an energy shield, created by Tatsumaki.
" I could beat you both, in an instant. " She assured.
" Pretentious. " Roared Grand Incursio, standing in front of her.
Clenching his huge fist, he punched Tatsumaki's protection, and managed to shatter it. Then, before the young girl could react, an energetic beam concentrated in the mouth of the black head and he pulled it out. Unable to dodge the attack, Tatsumaki was hit and found himself in the middle of an explosion, which knocked out Blast and Genos.
" Tatsumaki. " The cyborg scared.
" Don't worry. " Blast retorted, getting up. " This is not the number 2 hero of our world for nothing. "
Indeed, emerging from the smoke, the body of the child could be seen, while a thick stone shield was raised from the ground to protect it from the attack.
" Missed. " She asserted, with a mocking smile.
Nonetheless, using his powerful claws, Grand Incursio managed to destroy the boulder in one blow, and the tips of his claws struck Tatsumaki's cheek, slashing it.
" Stop playing smart, stupid monkey. "
In response, Tatsumaki pointed the finger at the sky. Looking up, Grand Incursio was surprised to see many rocks floating in the air. During the explosion of the dragon's last attack, Tatsumaki didn't just protect himself. She had also taken advantage of the smoke to start a counterattack.
Lowering her hand, she directed the rocks towards Grand Incursio. Seeing this, Grand Incursio inhaling before uttering a howl, creating sound waves. Finding itself in front of the creature, the rocks that were hit by the sound waves were destroyed to pieces.
" Don't underestimate me. " He roared, taking a step towards Tatsumaki.
Suddenly screaming in pain, he felt an energetic beam in his back, having created many burns. Turning around, both heads roared in pain, while seeing Kabbe behind him.
" You ? "
" I am also your opponent. " Assured Kabbe, flying towards him.
Starting to punch Grand Incursio several times, the saiyan attempted to hit him in the face. Still, using his hands to deflect Kabbe's fists, the creature blocked his assaults without the slightest difficulty, before managing to knee him in the abdomen.
Moaning in pain, Kabbe gasped. Nonetheless, not letting him fall to the ground, Grand Incursio grabbed his hair before smashing his face to the ground. This time, many wounds were visible on Kabbe's face as he passed out.
" Pathetic ! "
" ONE FOR ALL ! "
Hearing a familiar attack, Grand Incursio crossed his arms in front of his face to stop Blast's fist. And despite stopping the hero, Grand Incursio heard some of his thick scales crack.
Growling, he spun around quickly to strike the hero with his mighty power. Nonetheless, managing to use Mirio's power, Blast had no trouble letting the attack pass through his body, feeling no damage whatsoever. Then, putting his hands on Grand Incursio, he began to freeze his body.
" LAST HOUSE ! "
Quickly finding himself frozen, Grand Incursio was trapped inside a block of ice. Nonetheless, stepping back, Blast knew that his attack had had little effect on the monster. And, indeed, cracks quickly appeared on the wall of the ice. Then, destroying his prison, Grand Incurio roars.
" You will pay for that. "
However, he suddenly found himself frozen. Unable to move, he felt like a huge invisible hand was compressing his body.
" What ... What is happening to me ? "
Using his power, Tatsumaki had no trouble controlling the creature's body and keeping it from moving.
" It's over. " She assured, starting to float.
Immediately, Grand Incursio saw Genos just behind the young girl, concentrating his energy.
" What … ? "
" Checkmate. " Genos assured, firing a powerful energy beam.
Unable to move, Grand Incursio was frightened as the attack moved towards him.
" NO ! NO ! NOOO ! NOOOOOOOO ! "
Remaining flabbergasted, Rô and Sidra saw their most powerful warrior get hit by the attack before finding themselves in the middle of an explosion whose shock waves were felt all the way to the stands.
" Tatsumi ! Wave ! "
Smiling, Mojito noticed.
" Impressive! Definitely, our universe will have a lot of trouble winning this tournament. "
" Don't say that with a smile. " Ro roared.
Watching the smoke created by the explosion, Najenda remained silent. Still, she finally cried out.
" It's impossible. "
" Hum ? "
In the midst of the smoke, everyone could see the silhouette of Grand Incursio still standing.
" Perfect combo ! I thought I was going to get beaten up. "
" What ? " Genos and Tatsumaki were surprised.
Letting the smoke go, Grand Incursio let himself be seen, still standing, and not bearing the slightest scratch on him. Instead, his arm outstretched, he held Cabba's completely bloody body, which he held by the neck.
Having managed to regain control of his body before being struck by Genos' attack, the monster grabbed Kabbe's body and used it as a shield.
" Tsss! A human shield ? " Blast wondered. " Do you have no pride? "
" I ignore the remarks of a man who is forced to steal children's powers to be able to fight. " Retorted Grand Incursio, throwing the body of Kabbe, who collapsed a few meters away.
" Kabbe. " Champa frightened, seeing him stay on the ground.
" Champa-sama! I would point out to you that of the five warriors we have left, only Saena-san and Hit-san are left who are still fit to fight. "
" HAHAHAHA ! " Giggles Rô. " Good job, Incursio! I didn't doubt you. "
Managing to hear him, the dragon turned to him and roared.
" It's Grand Incursio, asshole. "
" Hum ? "
Turning then to the warriors of Universe 4, Grand Incursio asserted.
" It's time to end this tournament. "
Spreading his wings, he let himself fly over the field, before asserting.
" Stupid mortals, admire my power! The power of the supreme being! The being who will surpass the gods. "
Suddenly, concentrating his energy, he began to increase the intensity of his ki.
" What ? " Genos wondered.
Hearing cracking sounds in his body, he stepped back, as his sensors exploded one by one. Grand Incursio's energy grew so great that he was unable to measure his power.
" This is not true. "
Growling, Tatsumaki directed his hand towards the creature and created a whirlwind of air around him.
" I will compress you. "
Yet his power was surpassed by the power that emanated from Grand Incursio's body. Then the trio saw its scales change color. Instead of being black or white, they all turned gray. Then, uttering cries of agony the two heads of the dragon moved closer to each other before merging together.
Stunned by what he saw, Sidra asserted.
" It's impossible ! I would never have believed that Grand Incursio could become so powerful. "
Seeing him shake, Leone wanted to know.
" Don't tell me … ? "
" Yes ! He managed to surpass my power. "
"What ? "
Finally, Grand Incursio's energy dropped abruptly, while he now had only one head. Then slowly he let himself down to the ground. Watching him, his three opponents stood still, waiting to see what he was going to do.
Then, finally, Grand Incursio's foot touched the ground. And the dragon disappeared.
Feeling a breeze pass between them, Genos and Tatsumaki froze, as Blast received a punch that pulverized the bones of his face. Flabbergasted, Tatsumaki and Genos saw Grand Incursio appear between them, as he had just defeated Blast in one hit.
Quickly pulling away, Tatsumaki levitated rocks above her before hurling them towards Grand Incursio. Remaining perfectly still, Grand Incursio was hit by each of the projectiles, without receiving the slightest harm.
" Hum ? " He wondered, turning to the young girl. " Were you attacking me? Excuse me ! Your attacks were so insignificant that I didn't feel them at all. "
Suddenly, Genos' foot hit his face. However, other than raising dust around the dragon, the cyborg attack did no damage.
" What ? "
Smiling sadistically, Grand Incursio suddenly let out a cry before unleashing much of his power. Being pushed back, Genos was thrown against a rock. For his part, feeling his feet slipped on the ground, Tatsumaki ended up flying into the air. Preparing to attack Grand Incursio, Tatsumaki noticed he was no longer on the pitch.
" What... ? "
Sensing a presence behind her, the girl immediately created a protective sphere. However, striking her from behind, Grand Incursio managed to break the shield again. However, at the last minute, Tatsumaki managed to twirl around Grand Incursio's fist and flew until she returned to the field. At her feet, she saw Blast struggling to get up, his face bleeding.
" Tsss! I underestimated him. "
Also advancing towards the duo, Genos had many cracks in the face.
"This monster… can we defeat it ? "
In response, the trio saw Grand Incursio land not far from them. Still showing a confident smile, he cracked the muscles in his neck, while asking.
" Do you have nothing better to offer me? Because if not, I'll kill you in an instant. "
" But what are these fools doing ? " Wanted to know Quitela. " Saitama! Boros! Garou! Go help them. "
However, being already fighting, the trio paid little attention to his words. In addition, one should not really count on Boros and Garou to come to the aid of their comrade.
Noting that they were alone, the trio positioned themselves in front of Grand Incursio, ready to attack him. Getting ready to take a step towards them, Grand Incursio stopped when he heard.
" Hey, the monster. "
Startled, he turned his gaze to see two people on top of a rock. Still as injured as before, Caulifla and Kale had returned to rescue Kabbe.
" The saiyans ? " Grand Incursio wondered. " What are you doing here ? Do you want me to slaughter you as your friend ? "
Seeing Kabbe's body on the ground, Caulifla groaned in annoyance. Yet regaining her confidence, she declared.
" We came back to defeat you. "
" Defeat me? You idiot! Do you really think you can do it ? "
Seeing Kale still sitting on the floor, unable to stand, as well as Caulifla having his arm broken, he sneered.
" It's already a miracle that two monkeys as reliable as you are not already eliminated! What do you think you are doing against me ? "
In response, Caulifla rummaged in his pants pockets, before pulling out two items.
" With this. " Affirmed the saiyan, presenting potaras.
" WHAT ? " The deities were astonished when they recognized the objects.
