Chapter 11 – When the Beast Awakens
The energy spike erupts violently.
A monstrous aura surges outward and slams into the divine prison cells. The ancient barriers don't break—
but they tremble. The chains binding the fused prison planets rattle under the pressure.
Somewhere far away, hidden deep in shadows…
Inside a sealed chamber, a fist smashes down on a metal table.
"Stop the beast!"
The command echoes into silence.
---
Back at the battlefield.
Romen and Punk are hurled through the air like broken meteors. The shockwave alone tears the ground apart beneath them.
Romen barely stabilizes himself midair.
"That's unbelievable!"
His voice shakes.
"His power alone throwing us!"
The vacuum pressure around the battlefield thickens. The air itself feels crushed by the presence of the creature standing below.
Punk doesn't hesitate.
His aura ignites again.
Limit Breaker.
The ground cracks beneath his feet as he launches forward like a cannon.
He rushes straight toward the beast.
Punk throws a full-force punch.
The hit lands.
But the beast doesn't move.
Not even a step.
Punk freezes.
"What !"
"This is impossible!"
The beast slowly turns its head.
Then its massive hand shoots forward.
It grabs Punk by the throat.
With brutal force, the beast swings him through the air and hurls him upward like trash.
Punk screams as the sky spins around him.
Romen rushes upward and catches him before he crashes.
For a second they hover in the air.
Romen's eyes burn with determination.
His aura explodes.
Limit Breaker ignites around him.
Romen screams as the power surges through his body.
"He is going toward power expansion!"
His energy climbs violently.
Now in limit breaker to stand against that beast !
Romen turns quickly.
"Paul!"
No response.
He scans the battlefield.
Paul is nowhere nearby.
Romen tightens his fist.
"Paul!"
But the roar of the beast devours his voice.
The creature releases another thunderous roar that shakes the prison world itself.
Punk suddenly jumps out of Romen's grip.
"I don't need your help !"
"I can fight that muscle guy alone !"
Punk charges forward again.
Romen tries to stop him.
"Punk—!"
But Punk is already gone.
His aura flares violently.
Limit Breaker.
Power Expansion.
He glances at Romen.
"Oh so you are not behind!"
"I think we both need to strike together at him !"
Romen nods.
The two warriors launch forward together.
Their combined power tears through the air.
Both in limit breaker states and power expansion pushing beyond their limits.
They strike simultaneously.
The impact shakes the ground.
For the first time…
The beast slides back a few inches.
But it plants its feet firmly into the earth.
Unmoved.
Then it roars again.
A continuous shockwave bursts outward.
Punk skids backward across the ground.
"Hold it romen he says."
Romen looks at Punk, confused.
Punk suddenly smirks.
Then disappears.
Romen's eyes widen.
"We need paul I,ll be back soon !"
Romen turns back toward the beast.
He charges alone.
But the difference in power is monstrous.
The beast grabs Romen's head.
And slams a brutal punch directly into his skull.
CRACK.
Romen crashes to the ground.
Blood spills across the broken stone.
His head splits open slightly as he struggles to stand.
Then he notices something behind the beast.
Two prisoners appear.
Elite ones.
Romen whispers weakly,
"I,m cooked !"
But the prisoners don't attack him.
Instead…
They rush the beast.
Trying to stop it.
Romen forces himself up again.
His aura erupts once more.
Limit Breaker surges again.
Power Expansion climbs beyond his previous limits.
He launches forward.
The beast leaps into the air.
Romen stops mid-motion.
Behind the beast—
The two elite prisoners strike.
Their attacks carve deep scratches across its back.
The beast lands heavily.
Romen stares.
"So he bleeds too !"
The beast slowly turns around.
It grabs both prisoners by the throat.
Lifting them like dolls.
They struggle violently.
Romen charges again.
He slams a kick into the beast's back.
The creature releases them.
The prisoners drop to the ground gasping.
Now the beast turns toward Romen.
Its eyes burn with rage.
It rushes him instantly.
Romen dodges once.
Then steps back.
He begins forming an energy ball.
But he's too slow.
The beast punches straight through his chest.
The impact shatters bone.
A massive hole bursts open in Romen's chest.
"Ahhhhhhhhh!"
Blood pours down his body.
His power expansion aura collapses.
Limit breaker flickers violently.
The beast begins hammering punches into Romen's face.
One punch lands brutally.
Blood sprays from Romen's mouth.
The beast laughs.
A twisted, psychotic grin stretching across its face.
Romen's aura dies.
His power levels drop rapidly.
The two prisoners try to interfere again.
The beast turns.
Two punches.
Both prisoners fall instantly.
Dead.
The beast roars alone over the battlefield.
Everyone has fallen.
---
Far away.
On the Ascension Planet.
The Elder Ascension God sits beside the Supreme Ascension God.
"I don't think they deserved that !"
The Elder sighs.
"Our hands are tied ! Maybe they are still alive !"
The Supreme watches silently.
---
Back in the prison world.
Punk lands near a broken cave.
Inside, Paul sits half hidden.
Punk's eyes narrow.
He walks toward him slowly.
"So you are hiding here."
"You are a shame to be called a god !"
Paul looks up calmly.
"And you ?"
"Where is Romen ?"
"You also ran away."
Punk punches the cave wall in rage.
It collapses instantly.
"What you just did !"
Paul shouts.
"We are going back there."
"If that ring breaks."
"I will be stuck here forever with these mindless human monsters!"
Punk turns and flies off.
Paul hesitates.
Then follows.
"I,m a little bit scared but we need to save romen and go back home !"
They fly quickly.
Then suddenly—
Punk stops midair.
He senses something.
"I,m unable to sense romen energy levels."
"I,m just sensing of one guy !"
Paul answers quietly.
"And i know who it is."
Punk accelerates immediately.
Paul follows.
They arrive at the battlefield.
The beast still stands there.
Calm now.
Waiting.
Paul hesitates.
Punk lands.
Walks forward slowly.
Fearless.
"Punk ?"
Paul whispers.
Punk stops directly in front of the creature.
"So you killed romen ?"
The beast says nothing.
Punk smirks.
"But guess what ?"
"I,m still alive !"
Punk takes his stance.
His aura erupts again.
Limit Breaker.
Power Expansion climbs once more.
"I have something that you should fear about !"
The beast walks closer.
Then suddenly punches.
The hit connects.
Punk staggers backward but stays on his feet.
He wipes blood from his mouth.
"Not bad !"
"Paul !"
No response.
Paul is already searching for Romen.
The beast charges again.
Punk hesitates.
"Is this limit breaker !"
For the first time…
Doubt appears in his mind.
The beast roars again.
Energy erupts violently.
It grabs Punk.
Punk dodges barely.
But the beast kicks him.
He flies across the battlefield.
Crashing hard.
The beast leaps high into the sky.
Punk looks up.
The creature is falling straight toward him.
He struggles to stand.
Too slow.
The beast crashes down.
Its legs slam onto Punk's body.
"Ahhhhhhhhh!"
The beast begins jumping repeatedly on him.
Crushing him again and again.
Bones cracking.
Far away Paul finally returns.
"I,m coming punk !"
He sees the scene.
Punk screaming under the beast.
"I trained for this day !"
Paul screams.
His aura erupts violently.
Limit Breaker awakens.
Punk looks toward him weakly.
The beast sits on Punk's chest.
Grabs his hair.
Trying to rip it out.
Paul launches forward with a punch.
The beast catches it easily.
Then kicks Punk away.
Punk rolls across the battlefield.
Paul freezes.
Fear crawls across his face.
The beast's eyes glow white again.
"Wait... this is not human !"
The beast grabs Paul's arms.
Trying to tear them apart.
Paul screams in agony.
Above them—
Punk floats weakly in the sky.
Blood pours down his body.
He tries to activate limit breaker again.
Nothing.
"I,m out of energy !"
Hope fades.
The beast begins ripping Paul's arms apart.
Then suddenly—
A kick slams into its back.
The beast stumbles forward.
Paul drops to the ground.
Unconscious.
The beast turns slowly.
Romen stands there.
Alive.
Punk stares in shock.
"I thought he was dead !"
"But it's useless Romen!"
"He is far beyond us !"
Romen says nothing.
The beast charges him.
Punch.
Romen dodges.
Punk's eyes widen.
"How..is he ?"
The beast smiles.
Attacks again.
Romen dodges again.
Effortlessly.
The beast roars.
Its muscles grow larger.
Energy surges violently.
Romen stands calm.
Unbothered.
Punk tries to move toward them.
Romen raises his hand.
Stopping him.
Punk steps back.
The beast unleashes a storm of attacks.
Romen dodges every strike.
Like his body moves on instinct.
The beast grows furious.
It pounds its chest like a raging animal.
Far away in the darkness—
A mysterious voice whispers.
"I know this one !"
Then vanishes.
Back on the battlefield—
The beast leaps into the sky.
A massive blue energy sphere forms above its hands.
Romen lowers his stance.
Ready.
Above them—
Punk gathers what little energy remains
but his hand slightly shakes.
An energy ball begins forming in his hands.
Below—
Romen stands firm.
The beast descends from the sky with the massive sphere.
And the battlefield prepares to explode.
To be continued…
