>>6329785With his back on the ground he suddenly roars, raising his right and firing a massive wave of energy. One you can't dodge around, not without being able to fly. So, instead, you consciously activate your Barrier, letting his blast send you flying high into the sky. And when his attack ends you end your Barrier, dropping back through the air towards Jiren as he begins standing up. Clearly wanting the time, which is something you won't give him. And with a thought you teleport, your Instant Transmission closing the gap instantly as he rises. Driving your right elbow straight into his sternum, sending him flying back.
“GUUYAAAAAAH?!” he cries out as your strike slams him into another rocky wall, body hanging suspended, embedded in the rocky surface.
“I can't believe he's being overpowered this much. How is this <span class="mu-i">ningen</span> stronger than Jiren?” you hear a Kai say, clearly shocked. But it seems Jiren heard him, tearing himself from the wall.
“That can't be. I won't lose!” he shouts, landing on his feet, staggering a step before finding his balance. “I can't lose!”
You don't respond, watching. Wanting to move forward, to attack, but your instincts keeping you back. Sensing something gathering in Jiren, his power starting to swell.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ndqo0-sUMco“Strength is Justice! Justice is absolute! All is meaningless without victory. To be defeated is to lose everything! Just like then...” he says, voice trailing off. No doubt remembering his own past, to a time when even a titan of strength like himself was weak. Perhaps too weak to save someone he once cared for? “I won't go through that ever again!”
Clenching his fists, the shattered chunks of the arena around him begin to rise as he begins tapping into a level of power you've not felt from him before, a strength you've not yet witnessed. This is it, he's giving it everything he's got.
“That's why...! That's why! HRAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!” he roars, throwing his head back and screaming to the heavens. His power surging like a raging inferno, blazing wildly around him. Unfocused, wild, raw. A stark contrast to your own icy, focused fury as he lets his own rage consume him. Dozens of others scream as his fiery aura expands, scorching everyone left in the arena, even you. Forcing you back a step, guarding your face as his power washes over you. “HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!! HRRRRRAAAAAAAAAA!!”
