Chapter 140: Confrontation? Is That Really What It Is?  

.......

The confrontation has begun though one couldn't really call it a confrontation, it was an interesting fight nonetheless where the absolute power of Yasuo was shown.

A power that continued to stun Meruem down from the first attack to Yasuo's second which stunned him even more as the Vision construct broke the sound barrier attacking to its right nowhere near Meruem which he found strange until...

Until he felt the enormous punch send him away from his left not being able to react, he noticed a portal appearing in front of the hand, and before he could react, he felt the same pain he felt previously.

A combination of the Vision construct's speed and his control domain making it faster, then his portals ability added to the equation makes his level of danger insanely higher than it should be, the human before him is too dangerous.

"5 minutes huh..." Remarked Meruem as he stabilized himself in the air, his previous speculations about how the fight will go were based on how he is currently but that doesn't mean he gave up, No, in fact, he is thinking about what he can become in this few minutes.

He already faced a similar situation before against Netero, he couldn't do anything and he really didn't like that.

No matter how much light Komugi brought to his heart, something will never change, his ego as the King, his superiority to everything else.

That ego is what's driving him to be better than everything else, to be the absolute ruler of everything.

He is a specialist so that obsession allowed him to create the second strongest ability that ever not far behind Yasuo's control domain.

The ability to absorb the abilities and Aura of anything he consumes, and now, he plans on using that same obsession to create something equally as powerful for a price of course.

He is also using something else equally as important, his deep desire to go and see Komugi and he is confident he can naturally create the ability he wants, he's just wondering how fast he can finish it.

And he doesn't believe it will take long especially with the fact that he already started the process during his fight with Netero. Albeit, he didn't have much time to finish it so he started his spree of attacks while his mind was also focused on his hidden goal... Is it hidden though?

The next confrontation was miraculous, to say the least, to the point Youpi and Pouf were extremely stunned as their head started buzzing because they simply couldn't see anything, they only heard the numerous sound bombs that threatened to make them deaf.

Because across the next minute, all they saw is the human remaining static in the air with the statue's hands appearing a bit illusionary and their King basically being unseeable.

But they heard the sound that reverberated throughout the palace and they saw the whole palace breaking down as well as the ground shattering all around.

Earthquakes were being produced every second shaking every corner of the royal palace and even beyond.

And what looked like blasts of pure destructive lava were being fired from all around only to be seen again being fired back at the one who fired them who in their view was nothingness, the blasts were fired back at nothing but fired at Yasuo.

Of course, they knew the source of the blasts is none other than their King as that's Youpi's ability except in Meruem's hands, it's much more optimized and much stronger.

Pouf easily came to the immediate conclusion that the blasts were fired back at his King who Pouf can't see which he attributed to the human's ability to create portals, an extremely dangerous ability.

The two were simply stunned that a human actually has the ability to face their King especially with his current level of power.

Seeing the strange puzzling scene before them started to destroy their already strange foreign common sense.

The sense that the King is rivaled by none, that he stands at the top of the food chain yet here they are watching what they considered impossible.

In the first minute, the fight was extremely simple, Meruem flying while also using his muscle strength to push his speed higher to point of being able to travel hundreds of meters almost instantly.

A speed that only continued to increase as Mereum gained more proficiency in using Nen as well as more control over his massively increased power.

Yet nothing has changed, he always ends up facing the massive dark purple hands that either appears from within a portal or just attack him once he reaches a distance of about 50 meters.

He easily succeeded in getting out of the purple bubble that is Yasuo's domain then started attacking using rage blasts towards Yasuo yet nothing changed, all his attacks get easily sent back to him yet Meruem's face didn't change one bit.

Even with all the heavy bruises that started appearing all over his body, even with the wounds that started appearing due to the destructive hands.

Wounds and bruises that disappear in a matter of seconds like they never existed, the King's regeneration abilities reached a whole new level after consuming most of the two royal guards.

But the rate at which Yasuo's six arms attacked only became faster and faster as more portals started appearing everywhere even outside of his amplification domain not giving Meruem any chance to relax, the attacks becoming more aggressive until... Until Meruem found himself being thrown around like a ball through all the hands that started appearing from the portals, he didn't even have a chance to fire the blasts before he found himself being sent away.

At this point, the sound bombs became an occurrence that happens repeatedly in a short amount of time.

Every piece of glass within and outside of the palace started shattering into smaller and smaller pieces, the buildings has started to shake in a dangerous way like its gonna fall at any moment.

The partially destroyed buildings are on the brink of being completely breaking down aside from the places that are mostly destroyed because of Meruem falling on them at high speeds.

Until even the buildings started shattering and the ground beneath them started opening up like the arrival of the abyss deep within the planet.

All this happened because of the sonic bombs produced by Yasuo and the monster's enormous speed that surpassed sound by far even surpassing the 25 Mach mark.

That also resulted in another thing, due to the friction of the air and the massive purple hands that is caused by the simple fact that the air has no time to move out of the hands' way with their speed.

The friction causes the six massive hands to heat up like any normal material since the construct is made of Aeronen.

The Aeronen is just the Aerogel albeit much more enhanced and stronger so it's able to heat up but the material Yasuo decided to transmute his Aura into has a special property he targeted, an interesting yet simple one, an extremely high resistance to heat.

So the extremely high temperature the friction caused posed no obstacle for Yasuo, on the contrary, it made the six hands much more dangerous as their temperature became higher and higher as they started shining in another color, a yellow-red color that seems to melt everything within close proximity to the six arms.

An extremely high temperature that surpassed 1500 celsius and seeking to burn Meruem to a crisp with his blood evaporate into the darkness of the night.

Albeit that was quite hard to do with Meruem's level of power but that was enough for the damage dealt to Meruem to become much higher surpassing what his regeneration can do.

The temperature started increasing throughout the palace due to the friction they're causing all around to the point the surroundings reaching a temperature enough to create lava throughout the surroundings due to the rocks, rubbles, and even soil burning, a temperature so high it forced the two weakened royal guards to retreat even further.

Across all of this happening, Meruem remained composed without any change in his expression like all the wounds that have started to become a bit deep didn't affect him, like the fact that he's in a powerless situation matters not to him.

Until 1 minute since the start of the fight has passed, that one minute was enough to change the scenery around completely as within miles around him.

everything was destroyed even the ground beneath them, a completely foreign scenery than what it once was, just broken down ground and lava flowing everywhere.

Yasuo simply looked at this emotionlessly knowing the fight is nowhere near its end, he looked at the horrifying yet beautiful scenery with his vertical pitch-black eye because now, he isn't in his own body, no, his body at this moment is the Vision construct, a fully activated Vision construct that can achieve miracles.

It was at that moment that the King uttered a few simple words that have more meaning than what it seems, a deeper meaning that none but the darkness can see as he let out a small sigh.

"huh hah, It doesn't really matter does it, I only have few hours to live, after all, I did finish faster than expected so let's start shall we?..."

"Or is let's finish a better statement?..." Uttered the King directly after as he placed another of Yasuo's hands and legs to the ground completing the collection, four pale yet bloody body parts on the ground...
