The ocean breeze howled as **Susanoo** gritted his teeth, wiping the blood from his mouth. His swords hovered around him, vibrating with **divine power.** X stood motionless, golden energy crackling around him like a storm.
This wasn't just an opponent.
This was **a monster in human form.**
**"Tch… You're fast."** Susanoo exhaled, gripping his blade. **"But let's see if you can dodge something unavoidable."**
He raised his sword to the sky. The air **split apart** as thousands of ethereal blades formed a **gigantic storm of swords**, all locked onto X's presence.
**"Infinity Blade Storm!"**
**BOOM!**
Like divine punishment, the storm **rained destruction.** Each blade was infused with **sealing techniques,** preventing X from escaping with portals. The entire battlefield was swallowed in a **cyclone of cutting light.**
The world shook.
The dust cleared.
And there **he stood.**
Unharmed.
Susanoo's eyes widened. **"What—?"**
X **was eating a lightning bolt.**
His hand gripped the energy like a snack, casually chewing as **crackles of lightning danced across his body.** His grin widened, his golden aura flaring even brighter.
**"Not bad. But you forgot… I can eat energy too."**
**ZZZRAK!**
A devastating **lightning explosion** erupted from X's body, sending a **shockwave** that tore through Susanoo's remaining swords. Before the vice-captain could react, X **vanished.**
**THUMP.**
A golden fist **collided with his chest.**
**BOOOOOM!**
The impact shattered the ground, creating a massive crater. Susanoo's body **skidded across the battlefield,** slamming into a rock formation. His vision blurred. His ribs felt like they had **imploded.**
He struggled to stand. **"…H-How…?"**
X walked forward, eyes glowing. **"You made me use 2% of my power. That's pretty good."**
Susanoo's heart sank. **"…Only 2%?"**
X cracked his knuckles. His aura expanded, **golden flames swirling** around him like a celestial warrior.
**"Now… let's see how much you can handle."**
**To Be Continued…**
