*BOOM!*

Lennox was once again hit by another powerful attack by Miko. He smartly distanced himself while keeping watch of his opponents movements.

“?!”

That’s when Miko suddenly disappeared out of his range of detection.

Lennox paused and looked around.

“A long distance attack or is he trying something similar to that attack where he used the clones earlier?”

Lennox said.

“Hm?”

That’s when he sensed something quickly approaching. He quickly turned and was struck with an arrow in the stomach.

“Cough?!”

The arrow disappeared and Lennox fell to his knees.

He sensed another one approaching and looked up. The moment he looked up, he saw it closely. It was an arrow that shone like a star.

“A celestial arrow, huh.”

He rolled out of the way and avoided it.

“Why arrows? He was surely dealing damage when we were fighting fist to fist.”

Lennox stood and said.

‘Could he have detected that I was gauging his strength and distanced himself to not allow me that chance?’

Lennox thought.

“If so, he’s smarter than I thought.”

“I’ll take that as a compliment.”

“?!”

Lennox quickly turned around and saw Miko aiming an arrow at him.

‘Why did he reveal himself?’

Lennox asked himself.

“You’re using Stealth-Camouflage. That’s why you’re able to sneak up on me.”

“It’s too late to realize it now.”

Miko lowered his bow to Lennox’s feet.

This caused Lennox to look down on reflex.

“?!”

When he looked down he saw countless magic seals under water surrounding him.

“When did he?”

“The question isn’t when, it’s what will happen to you now that they’re there.”

Miko said.

“Let’s see how tough you are, Human God.”

Miko fired the arrow and it hit one of the seals underwater. When it did, all the seals started lighting up simultaneously.

“Ugh?!”

Lennox felt like the gravity around him had increased countless times over. He couldn’t move no matter how much he tried.

That’s when a bright light shot from under water and straight up into the sky.

When everyone saw it, they looked up in the sky. The first one to noticed what Miko did was Nova, who also used Celestial Magic.

“I think we should run.”

He said.

“Yeah, I’m way ahead of you.”

Nero grabbed all those who were a part of Miko’s team and began retreating.

Alexus used an Alchemic technique and moved the Dragna army as far back as he could before escaping.

“Holy…..”

Lennox muttered when saw something breaking through the clouds. It was a meteorite.

He looked at Miko with a bitter smile.

“You know, there’s something called overkill.”

Miko smiled back at him and pointed at the sky. When Lennox looked up he saw four more meteorites breaking through the clouds.

“There is no overkill. Only open fire and time to reload.”

“Now that’s badass.”

Lennox said as he looked at the sky.

Miko waved at him.

“Good luck.”

After that, he disappeared from sight.

Lennox who was glued in place, was forced to watch as the five meteors slowly fell towards him.

“Pulling down five meteors to kill one enemy. I don’t think even I've done something that grand before.”

He said.

“Now then, what should I do? Considering my ability, I’ll definitely survive if they hit this battlefield, but I can’t say the same for my employers.”

He then shrugged his shoulders.

“I guess I have no choice.”

His body suddenly started glowing five different colors; gold, black, green, purple, and white.

Miko who was watching him from a far was shocked out of his mind.

“He can use all 5 Qi types?!”

He couldn’t help but shout.

Lennox who was pinned to his spot suddenly lifted his leg and took a step forward.

A shattering sound rang out as the magic seals under water shattered because they could no longer restrain him.

“Now then, let’s do this.”

He started loosening up his shoulders as he watched the falling meteors. He then drew his arm back and started to concentrate his Qi around it.

“One should do it.”

After he said that, he thrust his fist towards the sky.

*BOOM!*

A beam consisting of the five Qi colors shot up in the sky and devoured all five meteorites and caused them to disintegrate before everyone’s eyes.

“………..”

A long period of silence, covered the land after Lennox destroyed five meteorites with one punch.

The one who broke the silence was Miko.

“Who the fuck are you, One Punch man?! You think you’re Saitama, you son of a bitch?!”

He got angry and shouted.

*BOOM!*

“Guah?!”

However, immediately after he was punched in the gut by Lennox who popped up out of nowhere.

“One Punch Man huh? I like that. I think I’ll take it.”

“T-There’s only one Onepunch man!”

*BOOM!*

Miko punched him across the face and caused him to step back.

“Shave your head first and then maybe I’ll consider nominating you for his sidekick!”

Miko stepped forward and threw a punch with his whole weight behind it.

*BOOM!*

Lennox’s face caved in and he was sent shooting through the air, causing massive tidal waves in the lake. It was almost as if his body was parting the waters.

Miko leaped towards him and clenched his fists.

The image of a seven headed dragon appeared by him.

“Seven Murders Fist!”

Miko then threw a barrage of fists, each resembling a dragon’s head, on Lennox body.

*BOOM!* *BOOM!* *BOOM!* *BOOM!* *BOOM!* *BOOM!* *BOOM!*

Lennox was hit seven times on rapid, all in his vital areas.

He was sent crashing towards the bottom of the lake, that became exposed because of the force each punch carried.

*BOOM!*

The earth burst open and hot lava began flowing through the cracks causing the lake to boil.

The water of the lake rushed back to where it was to cover Lennox who was being burnt by lava.

“Damn, Miko went beast mode on him.”

Ace said after watching Miko and Lennox’s fight through a projection made from Momo’s power.

“No. This is where the real fight begins.”

Said Andreas.

*BOOM!*

At that moment a huge explosion came from underneath the lake and Lennox quietly emerged bloodied and badly burnt.

“Impressive, surely impressive.”

He randomly started to applaud Miko with a smile.

“Those punches of yours really did a number on me. As you would expect from someone using three higher beings powers at once.”

That’s when the smile left his face.

“Looks like I have to fight you seriously from now on.”

He once again released his Qi, all five types all at once.

“Is this your first time encountering someone with all five Qi types?”

He asked.

Miko didn’t answer him.

“I’ll take that as a yes.”

He started walking towards Miko on the boiling water surface.

“How about I educate you on how powerful each type is, free of charge?”

Miko took a boxer stance.

“No thank you. I’ve already been taught them by my master.”

“I see. But you know what they say…”

He suddenly popped up in front of Miko.

“You should always practice the basics.”

Miko immediately covered his fist in celestial aura and slammed it on Lennox’s face.

*BOOM!*

“Lesson #1.”

Yet, Lennox didn’t even budge. Instead Miko saw his celestial aura being sucked into Lennox’s body.

“Heavenly Qi has the ability to absorb God powers and distribute it to its user.”

Lennox grabbed his hand.

“Lesson #2.”

*BOOM!*

He slammed his fist on Miko’s chest.

“Demonic Qi is lethal against heavenly beings.”

“Guaaaaah?!”

Miko suddenly released an agonizing scream from the pits of his souls. Blood started flowing from eyes, mouth, and nose.

“I already knew about your Godly technique. I also knew that in this mode your mostly god than any other race. That’s why Demonic Qi is so lethal to you, it’s destroying your god soul.”

“Raah!”

Miko headbutt Lennox and forced him to let go. He then summoned Regis and Ishma and started to cut him from left right and center.

Lennox’s blood sprayed wildly in the air as the blades cut away at him.

“Lesson #3.”

Miko suddenly felt the world come to halt as his body froze. The next time, time flowed he saw blood spraying from his own body.

“Chaotic Qi can bend reality to the user’s whim as well as toy with a person’s mind.”

Lennox said without a single scratch on him.

“While you was slashing at me in a frenzy I warpped the space and made all the damage bounce back to you. I also messed with your perception and made you think that I was the one getting hurt.”

“Ugh?!”

Miko fell to his knees using his swords to keep him from falling to his feet.

“Only three lessons huh. Looks like that’s your limit-”

Before Lennox could finish, his face was suddenly grabbed by Miko’s hand, and he was slammed head first on the water surface.

“Don’t look down on me, brat!”

He said as he looked at Lennox with draconic eyes.

He then lifted him up and threw him in the air. He then punched him square in the face.

*BOOM!*

Lennox was sent flying through the air again with his body spinning unnaturally.

Miko quickly chased after him and fly kicked him in the midsection.

“Blegh?!”

“Fuckoff Kick V.2!”

*BOOM!*

Lennox chest caved in as Miko’s foot looked like it wanted to bore right through his back.

His body bounced off the water surface like a skipping stone, before crashing on the land of the Eastern Region.

Miko chased after him ripping any soldier that tried to block him into shreds.

Lennox unsteadily stood up.

“L-Lesson #4!”

Lennox body suddenly doubled in size as his muscle grew larger. He charged towards Miko and hit him with a clothesline, almost ripping his head off.

“Beastly Qi is the Qi type that grants the user the highest physical power and regenerative abilities.”

He turned around and kneed Miko in the face.

“It’s also the Qi type that grant the user the characteristics of the beasts it defeated or tamed!”

He lifted Miko over his head.

“Draconic Fist!”

*BOOM!*

His punch sent Miko fly back across the lake and towards the Northern Region.

Miko twisted his body and forced himself to stop on the lake surface, breathing heavily.

“F-Fuck. His fist is as heavy as Killo’s.”

He said.

“Killo?”

Lennox approached the lake and started walking on the surface again.

“That punch is nothing compares to Killo’s. You wouldn’t know since you only fought him in his human form. If he was in his dragon form and had used his Regalia, other than your grandparents I doubt that there were anyone who could even think of taking him on at the time.”

Lennox said.

He clenched his fist in front of him.

“But rejoice, Miko.”

He started smiling again.

“For I am stronger than Killo.”

His body started releasing immense power suppressing everything around him.

“If you can defeat me, then you can defeat your worst nightmare.”

His smile turned into a smirk.

“However, if you’re going to do it, do it now; because once I deemed you worthy I’ll show you why I’m one of the leaders of the new era and the almighty king of tyrants!”

“And I thought I was cocky.”

Miko stood up straight and said.

“Fine, I accept that challenge!”

The image of Lahmu, Gallu, and Mušma appeared behind him as he showed a crazy grin and overwhelming power poured from inside him.

“Now then, Human God. Me or you, it’s time to decide who is truly almighty!”
