I looked at the massive ape that was currently staring down at me, it’s gaze indifferent...

"Little human, do not interfere." The monkey’s grave voice sounded out in warning.

"Oh? And why shouldn’t I?"

"Because this does not concern you."

"You hurt my monkey, so, yes, I think it does in fact concern me."

"You sully our tradition with your filthy human stench!!" The monkey roared.

"Well, first of all, you started the sullying, so don’t go giving me that self righteous bullshit, and second of all, who said anything about being human?" I grinned...

A sudden surge of giddy excitement washing through me.

Yes, my clone had used this move before.

But this would be the first time I was using the ability myself.

I couldn’t help feeling like the main character in that anime that had something to do with a dragon’s balls, or something, who, ironically, was a monkey himself.

"Now. Watch this." Saying so, a crimson light washed over my figure, as my form enlarged.

Crimson fur burst out of my skin.

Flesh turning coarse.

Face elongating as sharp canines jutted out of my mouth.

10-feet....

15-feet....

20-feet....

25-feet.....

My figure grew until it finally stopped at a towering 25-foot..

ROOOOOOARRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!

I couldn’t help it.

The excitement was too much, the roar had already left my system before I could stop it.

"How about now! Do I qualify? Hahahahaha!!!!" I laughed, voice sending waves through the air...

"You believe yourself my equal because of the trash you killed earlier? Merely courting death!" The monkey sneered, releasing his restrained aura as once more, the realm began trembling..

"I shall make your death swift and painful." He sentenced in a tone of finality..

I smiled, my eyes focusing on something I hadn’t bothered checking in a while now..

STR: 2,475k

A ridiculous number.

One I hadn’t even bothered tried putting into use.

I’ve been using laws and arts and Elira, making sure I enjoyed my fights, trying to prevent another one-punch done scenario.

But this time, against this behemoth, I believed it was a good idea.

"I guess it’s time to test just what sort of catastrophe I could wreak with these numbers.." I muttered quietly, grin sharpening...

An SSS-rank ape, one with what was probably a mutated bloodline that enhances his strength to levels beyond what any normal SSS-rank should ever have.

A Transformation stage expert at the final stages, one who was merely a step away from shedding his mortal shell.

Surely, this one could survive a punch or two right?

The anticipation was killing me..

"Dante.." Malachi’s voice called out from behind me..

"Don’t worry, I won’t kill him, it’s not my place." I replied before the monkey could speak.

"I’m just going to show him is all..."

"Show him what?"

"The difference between him and I." A savage grin split my face, yet before I could even move.

"You talk too much, little human." A massive fist had already appeared right before me.

"Eh?" Was all could say before..

BOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!

A punch that shook the entire plains struck me head on, my figure being sent flying...

BOOOM!!!!

A mountain in the distance exploded as my body made contact with it, the unfortunate thing finally halting my flight..

"Damn... why are there so many violent monkeys around lat..."

BOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!!!!!

Another punch connected mid speech, successfully halting my words, my figure being sent flying once more, or atleast, "that’s what you’d want isn’t it?" I said mockingly, as the dust cloud cleared, revealing my still standing figure with the ape’s punch caught firmly in my hand..

"You..." the massive ape’s pupils constricted violently, "how?"

"Heh! Because I’m obviously better." I grinned and then,

CRUNCH!!!

I tightened my grip, shattering every bone within the ape’s hand...

ROOOOOARRRR!!!!!

He roared in pain, swinging his arm and successfully escaping my iron grip, his figure retreating as within moments, flesh, bone and muscle writhed as the hand became whole.

"That’s one nasty little trick you got there." I cracked my neck, "but I guess, now it’s my turn." I took a single step, my figure manifesting before the large ape, Instant Transmission making the act light work.

"You...." I could see his pupils dilating in real time...

"Alright," I balled my fist, the mere act causing an audible BOOM!

"Let’s see what those numbers mean." I whispered softly, punching forward...

CRACCCCCKKKKKKK!!!!!!

The air didn’t explode.

No.

Space fractured from the mere act of me throwing the punch.

I had thought earlier that the monkey, being a transformation final stage expert would be able to help gauge just what it was those numbers translated to, but the moment the attack landed, I wiped that thought from my head...

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!

The entire body.

Everything from the head, down, of the massive ape, was obliterated completely....

But that wasn’t even the worse of it.

The attack erased.

Not destroyed.

Erased the entire landscape behind the monkey, space fractures tearing open every now and then as the whole realm destabilized...

"Oh shit!" I stared, wide eyed in shock, at the scene before me.

"What.. the .. fuck?" One punch.

One fucking punch.

And I had erased an unknown number of miles of land.

"Hissss..." I stared at my fist, dumbfounded.

It suddenly felt like I had been wasting my time all this while comprehending laws and using them, when I could’ve just been punching things to oblivion....

"Monster!!!!!" The shocked voice of Conan finally brought me out of my stunned state, my focus turning towards where his head should be located..

There, flesh, skin, muscles and organs writhed as the body of the massive ape was reconstructed from scratch...

"You... what the hell are you???" The ape yelled, all form of pride and condescension gone from its expression...

"Is that all you have?" I mocked, "if that’s all you have, little monkey, then I’m afraid your kingly aspirations end here."

The ape’s face contorted into an angry snarl.

"DONT YOU DARE UNDERESTIMATE ME!!!" He roared....

"MAD TYRANT’S FIST!" A storm of energy gathered around his hands as the entire place started shaking violently, mountains in the distance crumbling from the mere pressure being released by the attack...

"DIE YOU FILTHY HUMAN!!!!" Conan roared in madness as he unleashed the charged blow...

BOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!

The air detonated, the earth erupted, it felt like the apocalypse had arrived, yet I... didn’t move.

I had said I was going to test out my current physical prowess, and that’s what I intended on doing, so,

THUDDDDDD!!!!!!!

I stretched forth my hand in an open palm gesture, the punch landing squarely within as a shockwave blasted outwards from the point of collision...

My body trembled softly from the impact, but I held firm.

"Impossible!!!"

"Come now, little Redstone, you can do better than that." I grinned viciously, tossing his words, the same ones he’d spoken to Malachi, right back at him, the monkey’s face twisting into an angry scowling expression.

"DIEEEEEE!!!!!" The ape’s mouth widened as an enormous amount of energy condensed within his jaws...

My expression shifted instantly, this bastard was going full Godzilla...

ROOOOOOARRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!

A reddish beam of condensed primal energy shot out at point blank range, I had no time to react, so I could only take the attack head on...

BOOOOOMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!

Being struck headfirst by a concentrated beam of energy, one fired by a juiced up SSS-rank ape wasn’t anything to scoff at, as despite the ridiculous numbers my END was showing, my body was instantly vaporized, yet thankfully, I was one of the most, if not THE most impossible person the kill on all of terra.

Chaotic denial went to work, denying the outcome before it even happened, my body reforming back in prisitine shape, yet as I reformed, I could sense bits of law fluctuations within the remnants of the attack...

[Chaotic Comprehension activating....]

I pushed the notification away, just in time to hear the disbelieving voice of Conan sound right before me..

"Impossible... you, no. IMPOSSIBLE!!!!"

"I guess, it’s my turn then." I grinned.

"Escape!" I didn’t need to be psychic to tell the thought that flashed through the ape’s mind at that moment as he swiftly turned, figure blurring into the distance....

"Oh no no no, little redstone, we’re not done, not even close..."

A/N: okay, last one. I promise, the fights should conclude in the next Chapter, hopefully...
