Location : Deadland City, Inside the Huge Destroyed Football Stadium
The surroundings were completely covered with chaotic sounds, but now the stadium was filled with a dead silence, and it was also covered with a terrifying atmosphere. It was as if something extremely, extremely horrifying was currently inside the stadium. Some might say this atmosphere was similar to Peter Fitness's atmosphere, but it wasn't this was a much more terrifying and mysterious version of that atmosphere. The reason for this atmosphere was Liberty's aura. Even though it was still a remnant, how could it have become stronger? Simple, because as the vessel grows stronger, Liberty's power increases as well. If it had been the second remnant Liberty, this atmosphere would have been even more terrifying. Hana was just standing there, her face covered with a few drops of sweat, because in front of her was the first Demon King and the strongest of the past. Hana was completely filled with tension and fear, while Liberty was smirking.
Liberty : Is it possible that you are the Demon of Immortality?
Hana didn't answer due to her tension, but her head nodded slightly as if confirming it instinctively. Liberty let out a sigh and looked at Hana.
Liberty : I see... Then you lack power, but in terms of regeneration, you are better than all creatures. However...
Liberty completely disappeared from Hana's field of vision. He moved so fast that even Hana couldn't follow him. Even though Jack and Bob were fast, compared to Liberty, they were just mosquito speed. Hana's eyes darted everywhere, trying to find Liberty, but the moment she blinked, a hand appeared almost touching her face, and she heard a voice:
Liberty : ...That massive lack is in terms of power, especially against greater demons.
The moment Liberty finished his sentence, he grabbed Hana's face completely. He slightly pulled her backward and threw her toward the stadium lights. After throwing her, a powerful wind blew around Liberty. That was how strong the throw was. From Hana's perspective, she kept spinning continuously she couldn't even tell where she was being thrown because she was moving extremely fast while spinning. Then, at that speed, she slammed into the stadium lights with such force that it sounded like a truck had been thrown there. All the lights, the ceiling, and the iron supports began collapsing downward. As they crashed, loud impact sounds echoed. But every piece falling toward Liberty was erased before it could even reach him. Hana remained there motionless after the impact. Normally, all her injuries or fractures would have already healed, and they had she was just slightly dazed. Then she immediately regained herself and once again tore off her own head and threw it downward to descend faster. While her head was falling, she briefly saw her headless body but it was completely gone. Within a second, it had been erased in a circular area. As Hana fell with only her head, she saw Liberty's face. It had an aura that could make angels cry or make someone lose control from fear. His smile was just as terrifying. Hana immediately regenerated her entire body. For a brief moment she appeared without armor or clothing, but instantly formed armor. As she got closer to the ground, she released as many arms as she could from her back and sent all of them toward Liberty. As all the arms rushed toward him, Liberty only had one reaction:
Liberty : Those who only use long-range attacks... that's not entertaining at all.
Before Liberty even moved his hand, the arms began falling apart into pieces just as they got extremely close to him. Parts of them were simply erased. Hana, meanwhile, was trying to create the strongest armor she could with her technique, circling around the stadium. As she ran, the sounds of stepping on or colliding with iron, metal, or anything else could be heard. But Liberty was simply waiting, almost mocking his opponent. He looked completely relaxed, but he was thinking.
Liberty (In his mind) : When Jack wakes up, he'll probably remember all of this as his own memory. Whatever, let me teach him a lesson. Thanks to your memories, I've learned about your video games. It'll make more sense if I explain it that way.
Liberty let out a sigh and began his lesson, as if talking to himself. But when Jack regained control of his body, he would remember Liberty's words.
Liberty (In his mind) : For example, there are stats, right? Some people focus only on the strength of their technique, but that's a big mistake. The one you're fighting focused entirely on regeneration. If you could give points from one to a hundred, she gave eighty or ninety to regeneration. That's why she lacks power. The only thing I'll tell you is balance everything so you're not pathetic in any aspect. And as for why I'm telling you this if your life ends, mine ends too. That's why I'm helping you. Now, as for my stats...
Before he could finish, a massive crashing sound echoed. It was as if someone had jumped with immense force. The source of that sound was Hana. Her entire body, except her face, was covered in armor she had raised her defense to a completely different level. She leaped behind Liberty at high speed to deal a lethal blow. One of her hands had transformed into a blade. But Liberty instantly turned around and was already above her. It was as if a wave was mocking another wave. Before Hana could react, Liberty delivered an energy-loaded punch straight into her back. The moment she took the hit, she was slammed into the ground before even being visible. Liberty then finished his sentence:
Liberty : Everything of mine is one hundred or above.
Hana's body had completely healed after that impact. She looked unharmed, but the shattered ground was covered in blood. That was how hard she had hit the ground. Liberty moved in front of Hana, raised his right hand, and said:
Liberty : For five minutes, you have the right to attack, and I won't do anything. I won't dodge, and I won't react. Deal?
The moment Hana heard that, she immediately loaded energy into her hands, combined them, and shouted:
Hana : Super Technique, Form of the Invaluable Soul!
A fifteen-meter area covered Liberty in a circular shape. From the outside, it looked like a giant white sphere, but inside it appeared differently. Even though Jack had seen this before, experiencing it directly was different. Liberty smirked.
Liberty : Going straight for your strongest attack is logical, but assuming guaranteed damage is illogical. I'm not going to do anything anyway. Let's see everything you've got. You have five minutes.
Hana wasted no time and began unleashing a barrage of punches on Liberty. She attacked him with everything she had. Four arms emerged from her back, also striking him rapidly. Each punch made an impact sound countless punches echoed. Hana then jumped backward, but those four arms continued the barrage. At that moment, she used the same thing she had used on Jack. She created six more arms, not from her back but from her Super Technique itself, increasing her attack output from one hundred percent to one hundred twenty or even one hundred forty percent. Only one minute remained for Hana. Why was she struggling so much? Because the being in front of her was far stronger than the puppet she had used against Jack. That's why it was difficult. With exactly ten seconds left, Hana shouted:
Hana : Let your soul explode, you bastard insect!
All ten arms continued striking rapidly. The surroundings were completely silent. Hana was extremely terrified for no reason, Liberty should have already been dead.
Liberty : Your time is up. Now endure five minutes of my attack.
All of Hana's efforts became meaningless so quickly that it was enough to make someone give up on life. The sounds of punches striking Liberty continued, but amidst that noise, Liberty said:
Liberty : Erase.
The moment he said that, all the arms vanished instantly there wasn't even a trace of blood. After that, the barrier began to crack. And while it cracked, Liberty had taken absolutely no damage. Not even a single bit. One would start to wonder how powerful was this man in his prime?
Hana : How... how did you take no damage at all?!
The entire barrier shattered, and both of them returned to the grassy ground. Liberty was still smiling just smiling.
Liberty : Attacks like barriers mean nothing to me.
Hana, filled with fear and tension, said:
Hana : Wha...?
Liberty sighed.
Liberty : If you were a multi–Super Technique type user, you would understand. But from what I see, you never will.
Just as Hana was about to attack out of anger, both of her arms were erased. Then both of her legs vanished. Finally, everything except her head was erased. Hana couldn't even react. Before her head hit the ground, Liberty kicked it like a soccer ball. As Hana's head flew rapidly toward a wall, she forced herself to stop by creating a few arms. Then she regenerated her entire body again but Liberty was already behind her. As Hana was about to turn, Liberty punched her in the back, sending her upward into the air. After throwing that punch, wind blew around him. As Hana flew upward, Liberty jumped and positioned himself slightly away from her, shaped his hand like a gun, and said:
Liberty : Disappear.
Hana was split completely in two mid-air. Above her was the open part of the stadium, and even the single cloud above it was split in half. Hana instantly regenerated herself. Liberty began laughing.
Liberty : Hahaha! I see!
Liberty grabbed Hana by the neck with his left hand as if aiming toward the ground. Then he entered free fall while placing Hana beneath him like a skateboard. He charged energy into his legs and struck her with both feet. Hana slammed into the ground at incredible speed, and the impact echoed loudly. After that collision, Hana stood up again immediately. Liberty appeared in front of her as if teleporting. He smiled and lightly tapped his temple with his index finger.
Liberty : If my calculation is correct, your regeneration speed is 0.83 seconds. But if your puppet is ten or fifteen percent, then your main body's regeneration speed should be around 0.29 seconds, right?
What Liberty said was completely genius it was all correct. Hana was frozen in fear, not knowing what to do. She had only one thought:
Hana (In her mind) : What is happening?! Not only did he calculate my puppet's regeneration time, he perfectly figured out my main body's regeneration speed!
Hana had fallen into complete despair the peak of helplessness. Two thoughts filled her mind:
Hana (In her mind) : I'm going to die! I'm going to die! I need to escape!
Hana (In her mind) : If I don't escape, my best puppet will die here!
Just as Hana took a step back to run, Liberty immediately noticed but he was smiling.
Liberty : My calculation is correct. Anyway, I'm starting to get bored of you. Let me show you another type of my Super Technique.
Liberty brought his index fingers together. Hana started running but it was too late. The last thing her puppet heard was:
Liberty : Super Technique, Version Three, Omni-World Erasure.
After he said that, from Hana's perspective, her vision split into four. Her entire body appeared to be divided into dozens of pieces. Instead of dying dramatically, her entire body was instantly erased. The ground was covered with tons of blood, but her body was completely gone.
That was the result of Liberty's terrifying level of power.
