The champion Nosedeenian hovered in place, its small form still crackling with residual energy from the tournament. Despite its victory, something gnawed at its pride. It hadn't truly established its dominance yet, hadn't even enjoyed the traditional spoils of victory, a fresh battery to celebrate its triumph.
"No!" the champion declared, its voice sharp with indignation.
"What's the matter? Do you still want to fight?" The purple-tinged Nosedeenian, Asher in his Peak Warrior form, crossed his arms over his chest, regarding the smaller creature with calm interest.
"If you have the ability, let me eat a battery first, and then we'll fight again!" The champion's smooth face puffed up in frustration as it protested. "I just fought all those other guys for a long time, and now I have to fight you immediately? That's not fair, you're bullying me!"
"Yeah, that's a little unfair!"
"I think he's right. You can't bully people like that!"
The other Nosedeenians quickly voiced their agreement, their golden forms bobbing up and down in the air. They still harbored doubts about the purple newcomer's strength. After all, their champion had just emerged from a grueling series of battles without even time to recharge properly.
To truly command respect from these mischievous creatures, the Peak Warrior needed to demonstrate absolute, undeniable superiority.
Acting with decisive confidence, Asher agreed to the champion's request without hesitation. "Yes, you may. But if you lose after that, then it's settled. And you, all of you, must recognize me as your leader!"
"No problem. I agree to everything."
"As long as you can win fairly and justly, you'll be our boss!" the gathered Nosedeenians chorused in unison.
"As long as you can beat me after I've eaten a battery, I'll accept you as the leader!" the champion creature declared with absolute certainty.
After receiving their affirmative answers, Buzzshock nodded slowly. "Go eat, but hurry up. I'll give you at most one minute."
The champion needed no further encouragement. It darted back toward the hardware store they'd passed earlier, quickly locating several batteries that had tumbled to the ground during the earlier chaos.
With practiced efficiency, it grabbed the batteries and tossed them into its mouth, swallowing them in quick succession. Energy surged through its small body instantly, and intense sparks crackled across its surface. The power coursing through it now seemed comparable to the purple stranger's own reserves!
"I can do this. I can win!"
The champion clenched its small fists, watching golden currents dance across them like miniature lightning storms. Its entire demeanor radiated newfound confidence. "I definitely won't lose to this big purple guy this time!"
It flew back swiftly, its strength seemingly inexhaustible and mighty.
"Yes, your power has increased significantly," Buzzshock observed, noting the champion's intensified electrical current with genuine interest. "The technology behind your species and your biological structure truly defies human understanding. Something so small can generate such tremendous energy."
Modern physics couldn't explain these phenomena. The Nosedeenians existed outside conventional scientific frameworks, living batteries from the Quasar Star system, capable of feats that would baffle Earth's greatest minds.
"I will win!"
The champion spread its arms wide, palms aimed directly at the purple creature. Electrical sparks condensed and gathered, forming two powerful golden energy spheres that pulsed with barely contained power.
ZZZT!
The golden energy blasts shot toward Buzzshock with blinding speed, electrical arcs crackling around them like serpentine swords. The attack carried devastating force!
"What an impressive move!"
"Wow, its electricity formed into giant spheres!"
"It reminds me of that annoying rubber ball!"
The spectating Nosedeenians gaped in awe as the golden energy waves streaked overhead. Several of them visibly shuddered, clearly recalling some unpleasant memory associated with round objects.
"Useless!"
Buzzshock maintained his confident posture, calmly placing his palms in front of him without bothering to generate any defensive electricity. His hands simply hung there, seemingly unprotected.
When the champion saw this apparently defenseless stance, it laughed triumphantly and placed its hands on its hips with proud satisfaction. "Idiot! You can't possibly stop my move!" It looked as though victory was already assured.
But reality struck with humiliating swiftness.
When the seemingly unstoppable spheres of light made contact with Buzzshock's palms, they didn't explode or send the mighty purple warrior flying backward, as most of the creatures had imagined.
Instead, as if someone had pressed a pause button, the energy spheres stopped completely, silently and strangely halted mere inches from the purple creature's palms.
With a casual upward lift of his hands, Buzzshock raised the spheres above his head.
ZZZT!
The next instant, both spheres suddenly disintegrated, transforming into circling electrical arcs that wrapped around the purple creature's body like dancing serpents. The golden energy was completely absorbed, integrating seamlessly into the current surrounding him.
Buzzshock's luminescence intensified dramatically. Behind him in the void, a massive purple lightning bolt seemed to flash, like divine judgment made manifest.
"My move... how did you just 'eat' it?" The champion stammered, falling silent for a long moment. When it finally spoke again, its tone carried nothing but shock.
The other Nosedeenians hadn't expected this result either. Their small forms hung motionless in the air, stunned.
"Of course your tricks won't work against me," the purple creature explained calmly. "The quality of my electrical current operates one level higher than yours! So no matter how impressive your current's numerical output appears, it will simply be absorbed by me. Your attacks have no effect whatsoever!"
Buzzshock gently moved one finger, tracing a wisp of purple electricity that sliced through the air with incredible precision. The power it displayed looked absolutely devastating.
Not only superior strength and tactical ability, but even the fundamental quality of his electrical current had reached an entirely new stage! It had crossed the boundaries that limited Earth's golden-hued Nosedeenians, achieving what could only be described as cosmic-level electrical energy.
The power difference was absolute, a complete dimensional superiority.
"...Oh..."
All the Nosedeenians exchanged uncertain glances, completely silent.
The purple creature smiled with satisfaction, feeling quite pleased with himself. These little ones seemed appropriately intimidated and convinced by his sophisticated explanation.
The result...
"Um, what does 'quality' mean? And what's 'numerical output'?"
"What is 'data'? Is that something you can eat?"
"What's an 'effect'? Is it a delicious fruit?"
A torrent of confused questions burst from the assembled creatures.
The barrage of questions made Buzzshock so frustrated he nearly wanted to spit blood! These creatures, with their elementary-level comprehension, couldn't understand his words at all!
Far away, Max, Ben, and Gwen watched the scene with equally bewildered expressions.
The reason was simple: though the purple creature, Asher, could understand the Nosedeenians' high-pitched chattering language, he was still speaking normal English. It was like trying to hold a conversation across completely incompatible communication platforms!
"In that case, I won't waste time explaining anymore," Buzzshock sighed heavily. Instead, he spread out his limbs and roared loudly, "All of you, unleash your lightning together and focus your attacks on me!"
He simply needed to demonstrate absolute strength, let them witness his overwhelming power with their own eyes!
Upon hearing this declaration, all the small creatures were momentarily stunned, completely taken aback.
This request was... highly unusual!
"I've never seen such a strange request in my life," the champion Nosedeenian muttered.
"Well, you're seeing it today!" the purple creature responded triumphantly, his voice carrying absolute confidence.
