Although blown away by Solus's punch and even having several ribs broken in the process, Evil Peter quickly adjusted his condition using the healing ability of the Horse Talisman and flew out rapidly from the ruins.
Looking at Solus, who had only staggered back three steps, even the usually arrogant and lawless Evil Peter couldn't help but furrow his brows deeply.
He had already activated his dual-god resonance state, and his hands were equipped with the armguards condensed from his vibranium suit under overclock mode.
Although he had not stacked the enhancement of the Lightning Release Armor and natural energy, he was still exerting at least eighty percent of his peak combat power.
Yet, a strike like this had still failed to withstand Solus's assault. This cosmic energy was truly absurd. A Solus at this level would likely be difficult to match even for Captain Marvel without her Binary mode.
Although the enemy's combat power was unprecedentedly troublesome, Peter did not back down or feel fear because of it. While Solus possessing cosmic energy was troublesome, it did not mean Peter was entirely without a chance of victory.
With this thought, he subconsciously looked down at the "Omnitrix" on his wrist. There, an inconspicuous progress bar was slowly increasing, but the speed was painstakingly slow.
Correct, at the very instant they clashed, Peter had already attempted to use the Omnitrix to replicate the cosmic energy on Solus's body.
Although cosmic energy could not be considered a biological organism, its setting was highly similar to "Alien X" from Ben 10. In Ben 10, the Omnitrix could replicate Alien X, so replicating this cosmic energy was naturally not a problem.
According to Peter's estimation, as long as the replication progress bar was filled, and by relying on the bug-level ability of the Tiger Talisman to perfectly control all energy systems, he should be able to perfectly master cosmic energy in the blink of an eye.
This was not like the growth-type energy amplification of the dual-god resonance, which still required time to increase little by little. Cosmic energy itself belonged to a fixed buff; as long as it was applied to Peter's body, it would cause his combat power to surge instantly.
Furthermore, Peter saw through at a glance that Solus had not perfectly mastered cosmic energy, but was merely forcefully driving this energy.
This was just like Obito in Naruto, who had failed to perfectly capture the Nine-Tails but impatiently became the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki.
Although powerful, as long as there was a slight trigger, the powers within his body would instantly form a conflict, thereby exposing a fatal weakness. When that time came, even someone as strong as Solus would have to perish at his hands.
However, to accomplish such a thing, he still needed to hold out under his opponent's hands for at least three minutes.
"Is this 'The Other' who could potentially make our Inheritors fall short of success? He is merely mediocre~"
Looking at Peter, who had been blown away by his single punch, Solus was proud to the absolute extreme.
Seeing his arrogant appearance, how could Evil Peter, who inherited all the negative traits of Peter's personality, endure it? Without any hesitation, he unlocked his full-power state.
Lightning Release Armor, dual-god resonance, natural energy, Armament Haki... various buffs were stacked onto his body as if they cost nothing.
"Oi~ old man, don't be too arrogant!"
As he spoke, Peter, who had transformed into a special-effects warrior, charged toward Solus once more. He folded his fists together, his entire person transforming into a colorful comet as he lunged straight toward Solus.
Rokuogan: King's King!
His fists crashed against the punch thrown by Solus, and a terrifying shockwave erupted instantly. Its power was so terrifying that it even penetrated Solus's body, forming a visible wave of air behind him.
The strength of that power not only ground the ruins behind Solus into dust, but when it slammed against the energy shield, it also caused the shield to continuously vibrate with ripples.
This strike finally managed to injure Solus. With a cracking sound, Solus's right arm snapped instantly, and star-like blood emitting a celestial luster sprayed out.
This development genuinely gave Solus a shock. However, he was originally a vampire with a super-strong recovery capability, and after receiving the enhancement of the cosmic energy, his own healing ability had reached a higher level.
Therefore, although his arm was broken by the impact of the Rokuogan, the wound was just like Peter's under the protection of the Horse Talisman, rapidly healing in the blink of an eye.
"Interesting."
Solus lamented, but his eyes became visibly colder. In the next second, his fully restored figure flashed before Peter again, his fists blasting toward Peter like a torrential rain.
Facing an assault of this level, Peter naturally dared not be careless. He likewise threw punches, carving out afterimages in the air, exerting effort to neutralize Solus's attack.
Solus's strength was truly formidable; merely brushing against Peter's body would cause Peter's bones to fracture instantly.
Fortunately, this old thing had a weakness, which was that his combat skills were not powerful, only remaining at the same level as those Inheritors.
Although under the enhancement of the cosmic energy there was a beauty of raw stats, Peter's combat experience was superior, and further equipped with Observation Haki, he could always predict the landing point of the opponent's strikes in advance.
He could barely manage to rely on his own rich mechanisms to contend with the opponent slightly.
"A dying struggle."
After having countless punches evaded by Peter consecutively, Solus finally grew angry out of shame. With a cold laugh, he simply endured a punch from Peter head-on, followed by opening his five fingers to abruptly blast out a purple energy wave.
Peter detected this strike using Observation Haki, but in the end, it was too late to return to defense. He could only barely cover the struck area with Armament Haki as a defense.
The moment he was hit by this shockwave, his figure flew backward out of control once more, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Despite the defense of Armament Haki, his chest visibly collapsed by a large section. If it were not for the Horse Talisman performing healing at every single moment, he would have likely had his chest pierced through by this move on the spot.
After barely maintaining his stance, he tilted his head to dodge another energy wave, subsequently looking down at the "Omnitrix." The replication progress was still slow, having only filled up to a quarter of the bar so far.
"It looks like I have to play a bit fancy." A playful curve hooked up at the corner of Evil Peter's mouth.
With this thought, he suddenly opened his hand, and a Rasenshuriken rapidly condensed within his palm.
Controlling the Rasenshuriken to throw it at Solus opposite him, this old man expectedly relied on his cosmic power enhancement to neither dodge nor evade, choosing to take Peter's attack head-on with his body.
With this move, he fell into Peter's trap.
The Rasenshuriken erupted instantly. The massive energy field formed within contained endless chakra needles. The chakra needles pierced into Solus's body, continuously destroying the meridians within him.
Although Solus's recovery capability was heaven-defying, facing the near-ceaseless washing and grinding of these hundreds of millions of chakra needles, he was unable to move for a time, and could only be forcefully crowd-controlled in place by Evil Peter in an incredibly aggrieved manner!
