*Hiromi continued to unleash a flurry of punches, her fists a blur as she tried desperately to land a hit. Despite her using God's power amplifying her strength, Aaron's speed was unmatched. He moved with supernatural agility, dodging each blow with ease, leaving Hiromi frustrated and panting heavily.*
Aaron: "Just a small portion? That's all you got? No threat at all."
*He smirked cruelly as he stabbed Hiromi in the stomach, causing her to cough up blood. He withdrew the blade and followed up with a powerful punch to her face, sending her sprawling backwards onto the cold ground.*
Aaron: "I've snapped necks of babies, slit throats of toddlers. This is child's play."
*He said callously, licking the blood off his blade.*
*Hiromi slowly rose to her feet, despite the stab wound causing her to bleed profusely. She continued to channel God's power, enhancing her abilities even as blood flowed freely from her injury.*
Aaron: "Kids like you should be dead... But I do enjoy watching them suffer first."
*He whispered with a twisted smile, his eyes gleaming with sadistic pleasure at Hiromi's pained state. His words dripped with genuine malice and enjoyment of causing pain to innocent beings like Hiromi.*
Hiromi: "Monster!"
*She spat out, her voice shaking with anger and disgust. She then began to focus on God's energy into powerful sound waves, launching them directly at Aaron.*
*Caught off guard, Aaron staggered backward as the intense pressure threatened to burst his eardrums.*
(In the background).
Creation Orb King: "Interesting... She possesses the Death Angel ability. How peculiar. I wonder where she acquired such a powerful and rare power? It's not common for Orbs to obtain such abilities."
*The figure in the gas mask muttered to himself, taking a step closer to observe better.*
The Black Figure: "God's power grants abilities after the girl saves someone or changes a person's heart. That girl saved Kiyozawa from being killed, and now she possesses the ability of a Death Angel."
(In his mind).
"God's power is something I want."
(Out of his mind).
Aaron: "Well, well... This just got interesting."
*He laughed maniacally as he charged towards Hiromi. Immediately upon reaching her, he activated the book's power, sending out multiple spikes of dark energy hurtling directly towards her with terrifying speed and precision.*
Aaron: "But mark my words, little girl. I'll be the one burying you,"
*Hiromi barely managed to dive out of the way as the dark spikes narrowly missed her. In an instant, she stomped her foot heavily on the ground, causing cracks to spread outwards in all directions. A large hole opened up directly beneath Aaron's feet, swallowing him whole as he fell into the newly formed pit.*
*Aaron emerged from the hole, his body covered in a dark aura as he used the book's power to its fullest extent - 1000%. Blood trickled down his face from a wound on his head where he had hit a spike. His eyes burned with anger as he looked at Hiromi.*
Aaron: "You know what? You actually surprised me."
*He sneered, wiping blood from his face.*
Aaron: "For someone who looks like that Emi girl, you're surprisingly strong. Usually females are so... weak."
*He added with a cruel smirk, his gaze roaming over Hiromi's form dismissively.*
*Hiromi remained silent, unaffected by Aaron's words. She had no interest in his twisted attempts at conversation. Her mind was solely focused on one goal - bringing down the monster before her who had taken so many innocent lives. Justice was all that mattered now. Her eyes hardened, determination unwavering.*
Aaron: "Not much of a talker, huh? Most dumb kids can't shut up."
*He muttered, his patience wearing thin.*
Aaron: "But I've had enough playing around. Time to end this."
*He snarled, the dark aura surrounding him intensifying dramatically as he prepared to unleash his full power.*
Hiromi: "..."
*She suddenly dashed forward, her fist swinging rapidly as she attempted to land multiple punches on Aaron. She infused God's power into her attacks, hoping to finally break through his defenses and deliver a decisive blow. The air cracked with the force of her God-enhanced strikes as they collided with Aaron's dark aura.*
*Aaron easily dodged most of Hiromi's punches, his reflexes lightning fast. But in his arrogance, he underestimated her next attack. As he moved to block, he accidentally slipped on the cracked ground. Hiromi seized the opportunity and landed a powerful punch infused with God's power right on his face.*
*The punch sent shockwaves through Aaron's body. For a moment, everything went black as pain exploded in his face. He felt himself starting to fall unconscious but forced himself to stay awake, clenching his teeth and grinding them together to stay conscious. Blood trickled down from his split lip and broken nose.*
*Hiromi's next punch landed squarely on Aaron's chest where the life force was embedded.*
Aaron: "AAAHHH!!!"
*He let out a piercing scream.*
*The impact sent agony shooting through his entire being as the crystal cracked from the divine force behind Hiromi's blow.*
*Aaron collapsed onto the ground, clutching his life force with both hands. Tears streamed down his face for the first time in his life, wracked by the intense pain he had never before experienced. His body convulsed as sobs shook him, the reality of true suffering finally reaching the monster who had never known mercy.*
Hiromi: "Don't like it, huh?"
*She said coldly, stopping her use of God's power.*
Hiromi: "Then maybe you should have thought twice before hurting innocent people. This is just a taste of the pain you've inflicted on others."
*She gazed down at Aaron with contempt, her voice steady and firm.*
(In the background).
Kaito: "The first link lacks motivation."
*He snaps his fingers, bringing Emi onto the battlefield to trigger Aaron. A twisted smile spreads across his face, the anticipation of impending chaos fueling his excitement.*
Kaito: Things are about to get interesting."
*He thinks to himself, relishing the moment before the storm breaks loose.*
*As Aaron looked up, his eyes locked onto Emi standing beside Kaito. The twisted smile returned to his face instantly, all pain forgotten. The girl he had obsessed over, the one he wanted to kill... standing right there. His hand moved to grab something hidden in his pocket.*
Aaron: "Emi!!!!!"
*He pulled out a knife from his pocket and ran past Hiromi towards Emi. His eyes were filled with madness as he lunged at the terrified girl who had been the source of his obsession since he killed her parents. Emi screamed and tried to back away but Aaron was faster.*
*In the blink of an eye, Hiromi appeared in front of Emi, scooping her up quickly and beginning to run away with lightning speed. Aaron's frustration boiled over as he chased after them, his knife still clutched tightly in his hand.*
Aaron: "Emi! You little piece of shit!"
*He screamed, his voice filled with rage and obsession. He decided he couldn't let her slip away again and activated the book's power at infinity percent. His eyes turned completely black as he unleashed every bit of his dark power.*
*In the blink of an eye, Aaron appeared right in front of Hiromi and punched her chest with immense force, creating a massive hole. Hiromi's eyes widened in shock as God's power disappeared instantly from her body. Emi screamed in horror, seeing the girl who saved her get critically injured and possibly killed.*
Aaron: "Finally..."
*He whispered, his twisted smile growing wider as he watched Emi run away crying. He ignored Hiromi's lifeless body falling to the ground, his obsession for Emi taking over completely. His dark power surged as he chased after her, ready to finally kill his obsession.*
Hiromi: "..."
(In her mind).
"Get up! I have to save her!"
*She struggles desperately, her lifeless body refusing to cooperate. But then, she sees it—a faint spark of God's power lingering nearby.*
"I can't die here!"
*With a surge of determination, she reaches out, grasping at the divine energy.*
(Out of his mind).
Aaron: "Die, you little bitch!"
*He growled, his voice dripping with hatred and obsession. He slowly walked towards Emi, enjoying the terror written all over her face. The knife in his hand gleamed menacingly under the moonlight as he raised it high, ready to plunge it into her heart.*
*Aaron immediately stabbed downwards, but instead of piercing Emi's heart, his knife stopped as if hitting an golden barrier. He looked back in shock to see Hiromi standing up again, determination burning in her eyes despite the massive hole in her chest bleeding profusely. God's energy surrounded Emi protectively.*
Aaron: "Damn you! Just let me kill her already!"
*He screamed angrily, his infinity percent dark power clashing violently against Hiromi's God energy protecting Emi. The explosion was immense, resembling a nuclear blast as both powers collided head-on. The ground shook violently around them. Smoke and debris flew everywhere.*
*The entire town was vaporized in an instant. Hiromi had unknowingly activated God's power at infinity percent to protect Emi. The two ultimate powers clashed again and again like galaxies colliding, causing massive destruction. Buildings crumbled, the ground split open, and mushroom clouds rose into the sky.*
*Aaron glared at Hiromi with pure hatred burning in his eyes. He couldn't believe that this teenage girl had been chosen to possess God's power. It didn't make sense to him that a woman could be so powerful. Men were supposed to be stronger, right? His ego and obsession blinded him.*
Aaron: "Why do you insist on saving that worthless little girl?! She's just a weak, insignificant child who deserves to die!"
*He shouted angrily, his face red with rage and confusion.*
Aaron: "Children are the most fragile and pointless beings in this world! Why waste God's power on saving such a pathetic creature?!"
Hiromi: "I might be young."
*She said firmly, ignoring the hole in her chest that continued to bleed.*
Hiromi: "But I'm still a police officer. We protect the innocent and those who can't protect themselves. I won't let you harm this child, no matter how weak she may be!"
Aaron: "SHUT UP!"
*He screamed, his anger reaching a boiling point. With a snap of his fingers, giant spikes erupted from the ground, heading straight for Hiromi and Emi. He wanted to prove his point - that women and children were weak and deserved to be eliminated.*
*Hiromi let out a fierce scream, her voice echoing like thunder as sound waves blasted outwards, shattering the giant spikes into harmless fragments. Kaito watched from the shadows, his smirk widening as he observed the powerful clash between Aaron and Hiromi. The girl's determination was truly impressive.*
*With each passing moment, Aaron's annoyance grew into a seething rage. He wanted to kill Emi once and for all, but that damn girl kept standing in his way. Her relentless defense was infuriating, and he couldn't understand why she was so determined to protect someone so weak.*
Aaron: "You know what your problem is?"
*He snapped at Hiromi, his dark power swirling around him like a storm.*
Aaron: "You only got a tiny fraction of God's power! If you had the full package, this fight would've ended already! God himself would've smite my ass by now!"
Hiromi: "I don't want to kill you!"
*She shouted back, her eyes filled with determination and a hint of sadness.*
Hiromi: "I just want you to stop! Stop trying to hurt her and stop this pointless fight!"
*She raised her hands again, ready to defend herself if needed.*
Aaron: "Pointless?"
*He sneered, his eyes burning with madness.*
Aaron: "There's everything but pointless about this fight! I WANT to kill you, to stop God's power from ever existing again!"
*He stepped closer, his voice lowering to a menacing growl.*
Aaron: "The Goat Cult knows what would happen if that power remained."
Hiromi: "You don't have to side with them!"
*She pleaded, taking a step closer to Aaron, her hands still raised in a defensive stance.*
Hiromi: "You could change, right here and now! Choose a different path instead of following the Goat Cult's evil plans. It's never too late to make things right!"
Aaron: "It's too late for me."
*He muttered, his voice filled with self-loathing.*
Aaron: "I've killed so many women and children throughout my life. There's no redemption for a monster like me. No forgiveness, no coming back from the horrors I've committed."
*A twisted smile slowly spread across Aaron's face as he turned his attention to Emi. All the self-loathing and internal conflict vanished, replaced by a singular, dark obsession.*
Aaron: "You know what? I don't care about redemption or second chances. All I want is to kill that girl."
Hiromi: "Like I said before. I'll stop you."
*She declared firmly, her voice steady despite the tension.*
Hiromi: "But I won't kill you. I still believe you can change. Deep down, I know there's good in you that hasn't been completely consumed by darkness."
*She took a defensive stance once more.*
This will continue in the next chapter.
