“Gyaaaaah!” you cry out as another heavy blow lands true, sending you sliding across the deck and slamming back-first into a large, metal storage crate hard enough to leave a massive dent in the side. “D-Dammit!”
“This fight is over.” Merus says, still not even breathing heavily as he stares down at you. But to his clear surprise you rise once again, wiping the blood from the corner of your mouth with the back of your left hand as you stare down the tiny man. As you lower your hand you grin, you've finally figured him out. You finally realize how he's been beating you so easily, why his moves seem so alien yet so familiar, and why you can't properly sense his movements. But most importantly, what this pressure you've been feeling since he nearly knocked you out with his opening blow. “Why do you keep getting up? You know you can't win.”
“I can't win, huh? You know how many other gods like you have said that same thing to my father, my sister and my little brother?” you ask, Merus' eyes widening in shock at this. Gasps can be heard across the room, none louder than his partner Galactic Patroller Jaco. Whose jaw has dropped looking to his partner. “That's right, little god. I've figured you out. But what I don't get is what a god like you's doing in a place like this?”
“What is this about me being a god?” he asks, not directly denying it but clearly implying he isn't one. So you smirk, rising up to your full height as you take a full, painful deep breath in, sighing out. “What makes you think this, Son of Karn?”
“So, you want to play it this way? Alright. First, that technique. I've only seen it a few times, but there's no denying you're using Ultra Instinct.” you say, the man's eyes widening further. “There's no way someone of my level of skill and experience couldn't beat someone so much 'weaker' than me without a divine technique.”
“Booo! Sour grapes booo!” Jaco calls, your wife turning a furious bright green stare his way. Which shuts him up immediately as you continue.
“Second is this pressure you're exerting with every attack. At your level of physical power, you shouldn't even be able to stagger me, much less send my flying.” you tell him, the man's expression hardening. “Between my mother's Super Saiyan God form and Chaya's People's Champion form, I've grown accustomed to sensing the pressure of divine energy, even if I can't sense divine ki myself.”
