Meanwhile, in Akube's dimension… where he faces off with Jersey, the strongest of them all.
Jersey (folding his arms): Hey… will you get started already? I wanna see what you're made of. Even in your own dimension, I'll still slam you.
Akube (smiles firmly): Alright… let's go. Come to me Manifest Cetra.
Jersey (mocking tone): Oh great… another one with a sword. I really can't find anyone decent to fight me hand-to-hand, enh. You people with hax are really annoying…
(He grins wider)
Jersey: Well… that's the purpose of my existence though. I wanna prove to this world that I can resist any hax and abilities as much as I can and become the counter to them all.
Kuhahahahahahahahaha…!
Jersey: I'll prove it… raw power is superior to hax.
Akube (quietly): …we'll see.
For a moment silence.
The dimension itself feels like it's holding its breath.
Then
CRACK!!
Jersey vanishes.
A shockwave tears through the ground as he appears right in front of Akube fist already mid-swing.
Akube tilts his head slightly just enough.
The punch grazes past him, but the space behind shatters like glass.
Jersey (grinning): Oh? You dodged that?
Akube (calm): Too linear.
Jersey's smile widens.
BOOM!!
A second punch faster.
Akube raises his blade
CLANG!!
The impact echoes across the dimension, pressure exploding outward.
Jersey (laughing): Yes! That's it! Don't just run fight me properly!
Akube slides back slightly… then steadies himself.
Akube: You talk too much.
He steps forward.
And in an instant
Slash.
A clean arc cuts through space itself, aiming straight for Jersey.
Jersey doesn't dodge.
He grabs it.
GRIP!!
The slash distorts in his hand cracking, resisting then shatters.
Jersey: Hax… negated.
Akube's eyes narrow slightly.
Jersey (low, excited): Now we're talking…
He leans forward
Jersey: Show me something that actually works.
The air is heavy… cracked from the earlier clash.
Jersey stands there, flexing his fingers slightly like he just crushed something trivial.
Jersey: Hax… negated.
He looks up eyes locked on Akube.
Jersey: Now try again.
Akube says nothing.
His grip on the blade tightens slightly… then loosens.
Akube (calm): So you don't just tank abilities… you break them.
Jersey (grins): Exactly.
A step forward
CRACK!!
The ground caves under his foot.
Jersey: Anything that isn't raw… I crush it.
He disappears
BOOM!!
A punch tears through the space where Akube stood
but Akube is already behind him.
No flashy movement.
Just timing.
Akube swings
SLASH!!
Jersey turns
This time he doesn't grab it.
He dodges.
A thin cut appears across his cheek.
Silence.
Jersey touches it…
Looks at the blood.
Then smiles wider.
Jersey: …oh.
(quiet excitement)
Jersey: That one wasn't pure hax.
Akube: Of course not.
He lowers the blade slightly.
Akube: You made your rule clear… so I adjusted.
Jersey laughs.
Kuhahahahaha…!
Jersey: Good! GOOD!!
His aura spikes not some ability… just pressure.
Raw.
The dimension trembles.
Jersey: Then come at me properly!
In an instant
He blitzes forward faster than before.
Akube's eyes sharpen
BOOM!!
Fist meets blade
The impact sends a shockwave ripping through the dimension.
Akube slides back boots dragging across the ground
Jersey doesn't stop.
Another punch.
Another.
Another.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Relentless.
Akube parries barely.
Each hit heavier than the last.
Jersey (grinning mid-assault): What's wrong?! Don't tell me that's all your "skill" can do!
Akube (focused): …
He steps in inside Jersey's range
A quick elbow
THUD!!
Jersey's body shifts slightly from the impact.
Not much
But enough.
Akube follows
A clean, precise cut across Jersey's torso.
SLICE!!
Jersey skids back this time
A deeper mark left behind.
Silence… for half a second.
Then
Jersey starts laughing again.
Jersey: YES… this is it!
He cracks his neck slowly.
Jersey: No tricks… no nonsense…
(eyes locked in)
Jersey: Just you and me.
He leans forward
Jersey: Let's see whose "raw" is better.
Akube raises his blade steady.
Akube: I was thinking the same thing.
Both of them disappear
BOOOOOOM!!!
Akube and Jersey clash violently..the dimension shakes Akube was being overwhelmed by Jersey every minute Jersey adapted to his technique over and over
Jersey (grinning):Wow… impressive. Who knew someone like you could actually keep up with me? …But it's not enough. You do realize I'm only using 10% of my strength...…..kuahahahahahahaha!
Akube (overwhelmed):Oh really? …Alright then. Looks like I'll have to take matters into my own hands…
Akube decided to end it in a single strike.
Without hesitation, he began channeling Nova Spear a mass of destructive energy condensing within his grasp. This time, he pushed it to 85%.
The moment it formed, his domain started collapsing.
Space warped. The foundation of his dimension trembled violently. Even his own realm where he held absolute control, where fate bent to his will couldn't withstand the pressure of that energy.
That alone showed how dangerous Nova Spear truly was.
Akube (frightened, under his breath):Oh damn… I haven't even released it yet, and my realm is already collapsing…
He steadied himself, forcing control over the unstable power.
Then I'll have to hold back.
The energy shrank slightly as he suppressed it.
I'll reduce it to 40%… maybe that'll work. Because if I destroy my realm now, I won't be able to recreate it instantly.
His expression turned serious as he calculated the risk.
I can only create my domain once a day. I can maintain it as long as I have the energy to hold it… but the moment I cancel it
He clenched his hand tighter around the swirling destructive force.
I won't be able to bring it back for another 24 hours
Jersey (serious): Don't you dare hesitate, man. Strike me without holding back. I want to see how powerful that energy beam of yours is. Fire away.
Akube (face sweating): Are you mad? Yeah, you're strong, but don't think you can withstand this attack of mine—it's dangerous. You can see how my own dimension is collapsing just from the pressure alone.
Akube deactivates the Nova Spear, deciding not to use it on Jersey…
Jersey (laughing): Kuhahahahahahaha! Hold on, hold on… are you kidding me right now? Who gave you the right to overestimate yourself like that, huh? So you actually believe that pitiful attack of yours is a threat to me? Kuhahahahahahahahahaha!
Jersey's laughter echoes across Akube's entire domain.
Jersey: Let me show you something. This domain of yours isn't that strong. I've entered realms and faced beings whose dimensions were far greater than yours beings that bend fate, laws, reality, causality, space, and time itself. And yet, I still came out on top. Even against them. I will show you why I am known as the Universal War Lord.
Jersey unleashes his aura.
It is overwhelming.
Akube's realm begins to collapse.
This wasn't just normal pressure Jersey's aura was comparable to Dranexx's, like what he displayed in the Heavenly Paladin. His presence destabilizes the very structure of the domain itself
And then it happens.
The realm shatters completely.
Akube is left in shock, fully realizing he is no match for him at all.
Akube (in shock): H-hey… what… how are you doing this?
Jersey (grinning): Oh? You haven't seen anything yet. This is just a mere fraction of my aura.
Jersey continues releasing pressure.
Eventually, Akube's domain collapses entirely, and they return back to reality.
Akube will no longer be able to activate his Lenshi Realm again for the next 24 hours.
Akube (sadly): Oh… he destroyed it… my beautiful realm… whyyyyyyy?!
Jersey (calmly): Yeah, that realm of yours is useless. Even the mortal realm far exceeds it. So go on… that attack of yours unleash it on me here.
Akube (thinking): Wait… did he just say the mortal realm far exceeds my realm…?
He's right. I can see it he's still releasing his aura, yet the mortal realm is barely shakingSo my realm… isn't that strong after all…? Damn and here I thought I'd grown stronger Just how vast is this mortal realm anyway…?
Akube (out loud): Alright… if that's what you want, then I'll give you exactly what you asked for.
Akube reactivates the Nova Spear this time at 55% power preparing to launch it at Jersey.
Akube (calmly): Hey… you asked for it. Don't regret this in your afterlife. Now die with honor.
Without hesitation, Akube fires the Nova Spear at full force.
Jersey doesn't move.
He doesn't dodge.
He takes the attack head-on.
BOOOOOOM!!!
A massive explosion erupts upon impact.
The earth trembles violently. Shockwaves ripple across the entire battlefield, cracking the ground as buildings shake on the verge of collapse
Elsewhere…
Lisa and Sasha feel the shockwave mid-battle.
Lisa (blocking): Whoa—what was that just now?!
Ash {Report}: This was caused by the individual known as Akube. He launched a massive destructive attack at the enemy leader, Jersey. The resulting shockwave is destabilizing surrounding structures.
Lisa (eyes widening): Seriously?! Wait Akube had something like that up his sleeve? No freaking way…
Sasha (thinking): That was a high-level attack… even before it detonated, I sensed a harmonious energy converging into a single point…Was that her comrade's doing? Damn it… they're actually good.
Sasha (out loud): You guys are impressive. Honestly, I thought the moment we stepped onto this planet, we'd level it within minutes. Seems I was wrong. Now… let's continue.
Lisa (grinning): Oh, you have no idea, girl. You underestimated us and that's your biggest mistake And yeah… you call this planet Alpha X, right?
Now we'll show you exactly why it's called that.
They both charge forward, resuming their battle
Meanwhile…
The smoke from the explosion still lingers.
Akube stands there, breathing heavily. The Nova Spear drained a huge portion of his energy especially after maintaining his domain earlier.
Akube (breathing heavily): Damn it… I'm in trouble. That attack better have worked…
Because if it didn't… I'm finished. I don't have much energy left How long has this battle been going on? No way hours have passed, right…?
Dranexx still hasn't awakened so there's time…Damn it… I hate this. I really do.
I wanted to finish this before he showed up I wanted him to acknowledge my strength
I need to catch up to him. I can't keep waiting for him to save me…
A voice cuts through the smoke…
Voice: Is that all you've got?
Akube (shocked): No way… you survived that?! Damn it
Jersey (laughing): Kuhahahahahahahahahaha!
Now that was a blast! I swear you actually managed to wound me!
As the smoke clears, Jersey stands unharmed.
Well… almost.
A small scratch is visible on his left hand bleeding slightly but it heals instantly.
He didn't just survive Akube's Nova Spear at 55%…
He tanked it.
Completely.
Jersey stands there, unfazed like nothing happened.
At this point, it's undeniable:
Jersey is a true powerhouse.
Only higher beings stand a chance against him No matter what Akube does…
The gap between them is overwhelming
Soral ( Telepathy): Akube hang in there don't give up yet we still have 16 hours left
Akube ( Telepathy): Hey don't tell me what to do Soral…I am pissed right now I wanna go all out but first where they freaky hell is my own grandmaster or monarch i thought they're supposed to look out for their chosen one….Since I came into this world that stupid grandmaster of mine hasn't shown or even speak to me, I swear i will join hand with Dranexx to kill her one day I swear on that she's just pathetic cowardly grandmaster
Soral ( Telepathy): I am Sorry but don't do anything rash okay
Akube ( Telepathy): Oh don't you worry i won't let Dranexx get the best of my Soral you will see
Soral ( Telepathy): Akube what are you doing what's happening to you now.?
Akube ( Terrifyingly speaking): Oh i don't know you tell me
The air became tense as Akube was filled with rage everyone felt his anger Lisa, Scorpy, the entire kingdom felt his pressure the air pressure was tense Akube was releasing a massive bloodlust his mind was filled with rage he's about to use the last of his strength to face Jersey at once
Jersey : Oh what's this he's getting more serious wow I never knew you would be this interesting bro kuhahahahaha let it begins now
Akube ( Calmly): Come to me cetra
His sword appears in his hand Akube energy flows through the sword everything now everything no decides on everything swing from his sword cetra
{Akube Raise his head starring at Jersey }
Jersey ( Mocking Tone): Oh boy you already try that before it ain't going to work you know your sword is useless—
Before Jersey could finish his sentence Akube was already in his front his blade aiming towards his neck
Jersey react fast catching the sword with his hand but it didn't end there the moment he catches it Akube punched him straight on the face which pushes him backwards..
Jersey ( Smilied):Oh now you're getting serious let's do this
Jersey unleashed his wrath on Jax charging straight for him immediately this is a sword vs fist fight both of them clash very hard but Jersey was overwhelming Akube..his durability,endurance,stamina and strength was higher than Akube,Akube on the other hand has almost run out of energy he's barely keeping up with Jersey I have to give him credit for that although this battle is one sided not only Jersey did not overwhelmed Akube but he was only using just maximum 15% of his strength against him..what a massive gap between them
To be continued.....
