[WORLD REFORMATION WAR] Journey to The West; War Manifests

Well, being ridiculously strong isn't exactly his forte. Sou himself is not a very threatening opponent when it comes to his atmosphere, since the pressure he is releasing is just what naturally leaks out of his body as he has no control over how much pressure would be released. However, it does change according to how much strength he intends to output and considering that he passively uses just a percent of his strength was enough to give off enough pressure to make himself a threat in combat. The Nightmare may not be extremely strong like those of the top fighters, however, to the point in which he was declared with war against the entire world gave him enough fame to know that his existence alone can be considered a global threat. If he was a small fry, then a thing such as 'war against the entire world' wouldn't be a thing. As much as he didn't want to boast, he would be considered a problematic opponent to deal with, even if he won't be able to win by any case, to individuals much like Shadin himself. As long as it is not 'him', killing Sou would be an extremely difficult task, much less defeating him. It is not impossible, but for someone who has experienced a consecutive defeat of two years and even death itself, that experience alone is enough to back up anything left of his weaknesses in his past battles to make him a tough opponent to fight.

His demeanor was calm and collected, carrying together with an expression of an inattentive young man who couldn't bother listening to any nonsense that was threw by the young woman, things that are not related to the motive he has in mind. In all honesty, Sou could not bother even a second to take the situation seriously despite what he had said, it is as if he had lost all that fire and the short-temper he once had to really make himself look like an intimidating threat. As of now? He lacks the motivation to really take these kids seriously, because he clearly knew how not to die and keep their assaults into moderation since he has no intentions of going soft or too hard on them.

Blah. A single concept of that very word would be compressed from annoying flaps of the young woman's mouth. Not bother listening to any of her mighty sentences, that single word was a conclusion he is going to make in his head and ears. His eyes adjusted itself lazily to the Leonhardt girl's direction, without being intimidated even in the slightest by her words and the two weapons being aimed directly at him. It was not the first time someone has pointed his or her weapon at him nor shall it be the last time since judging from the two of them, he could handle this fight without taking it too seriously.

Witnessing the short changes she had done to herself, regardless of what just happened, his expression held a literal expression of 'ok' without putting much thought into it, because that was the only reaction he could give to such changes since the only thing set in his mind about the appearance change to a different outfit was the word 'slut being sluttier'. If it was the him in the past, he would've given off some sort of speech or words to describe her changes but after all of that? He couldn't care less now.

Tch. His tongue clicked as his crimson red eyes shifted its attention back to Hayden, at least a more interesting individual is what he thought. His back was out in the open, completely vulnerable to the likes of the Leonhardt without barely caring for her presence in this battlefield. Before you think about it, he does not intend to underestimate her abilities at all, since he had fought someone who he once thought was far beyond him and yet, he fell to a defeat to this.. shinigami. Even people that he thought are 'weaklings' are not to be underestimate after that experience but again, he didn't have the time to care about her since stronger individuals are more problematic especially those that can leave a dent on him. Keeping the same position as he is before, he has all the angles and places for the Leonhardt girl to attack him from considering that he intentionally left himself open to give her the free shots while Hayden's at it to go into Bankai.

The Nightmare doesn't know what both of them can and cannot do, but eh, what is there to fret about? His plans is to keep things under control and that's probably it. He has no grand plan or idea to fight them, since he has to gauge what they can do so he can appropriately break them apart from there without hesitation. To be honest, he didn't know if he is either irritated, bored or simply didn't care for the circumstances that he is in. As much as he loved to take fun and joy out of this fight, he simply couldn't. Well, that's that about his own thoughts of this situation that is going on with one girl talking nonsense and one guy talking as if he knew exactly what is going on. At this point, he spoke out from his own mind for a brutal honesty all the way down, wishing to not take shit from words anymore since he has remained speechless for what has been going on with their mouths.

"Seriously, why do you guys talk so much? I might fall asleep before the fight even begins."

After that? Well, you've guessed it. It was his bankai as requested. What a gratitude to experience someone's bankai when asked and surely, you don't get there anywhere else when one asks that nicely, eh? Well, he ought' be very grateful of what is happening right now considering he put a thought in his words and willingly go to the strongest possible state he was able to go into.

But it all went flat in a matter of seconds. Yes, he wanted a bankai and get this over with. However, this shinigami. No, this person, is simply killing the purpose behind it. Having a higher state much like a human's awakening is the strength that it possesses and throwing out what it is capable of, but this? All that energy was feasible, commendable and most importantly, powerful 'at best'. Changes in appearances, increase in spiritual power, different sorts of energy engulfing the air and so on? It is merely a waste of time. This is a fight; not a competition of who has the biggest dick here by outputting a ridiculous amount of spiritual pressure just to wish for his opponent to be amazed or afraid of his power. He simply has witnessed enough people for his scale of power, as this shinigami is not the first person in the entire world to see this level. Well, if he wants to wave around his energy that much to show what he is capable of, then Sou himself will just prove our little Hayden boy here that he met the wrong person to showcase those sprinkles.

He was not going to make himself look stronger in any of this case neither was he going to unleash the full potential of his I.E.B.N, a machine that goes around his wrist that pumps life into his body, but the Nightmare was going to make adjustments to his own body. Since the release of his body's external pressure is due to the adjustments of his strength, tuning it up just for a few percent? Well, it was just the right amount to create an explosive force around him, cushioning whatever that Hayden is capable of throwing at him to leave from a little to no effect against him, as well as having a delicate control over his surroundings of not going overboard into matching his own pressure against the Vizard's. Seriously, who wants to show that they have a bigger ding than their dong? Hell, he has no interest of going upfront with the young vizard and show him who's boss. While Hayden's overall spiritual pressure and dawning his mask is intimidating to really show what he is capable of? He made a mistake.

Pouring out all that power outwards into a widespread energy? Just by concentrating on his own strength for a bit, he is able to change the concentration in which his pressure's area of effect would be shorter, however, compact and powerful once he compresses that pressure around him, he was able to unleash a densely packed pressure that clearly cuts right past all of that monstrous power he intends to pour out and have him feel the full effects of his pressure that can even a person in his bankai state like Hayden to feel as if his chest is being crushed under the weight of something heavy. The Nightmare didn't have time to keep pouring out pressure across the atmosphere, because he was going to simply compress the pressure around him, densely pack it around his body to not only null out any possible effects that is able to do to him both physically whether externally or internally, and mentally but it is also let the vizard to feel the full brunt of the Nightmare's pressure that has packed enough power to really rival himself against his bankai if he so willingly to take this fight on a serious note. It wasn't who has the strongest spiritual power but it is those who has the greatest control over it.

Brushing his hair up for a bit, Sou still took this rather nonchalantly. Well, it is expected for someone who never stopped his tracks in combat before, not even once. His mind back in those days were all about fighting and becoming powerful enough to go up against the likes of the Demon Queen and Shadin Yuudeshi, losing one battle after another, it was either because he never fought them at his best or it is because he wanted to learn more of what he can or cannot do in combat. Wiping out one weakness after another, while the Nightmare still does have a weakness, he wiped out enough of them to even stand against the strongest beings that can be thrown right at him. After all, back in those days, his ambition was to be the 'world's strongest natural human that surpasses even the supernatural', a human that would never need to utilize any powers to overpower any of his opponents, and here, he decided to start proving his title from here.

If Hayden thought he was the fastest even with the vizard mask, he would be dead wrong. Sou had long produced countermeasures against little runts that knows how to move around like him. Calculating his surroundings, even the fastest opponents would still need to 'push' away air particles that is against their way when they move, otherwise, they would be severely injured by air resistance. Since Sou cannot naturally react fast, combining both the calculation abilities of his brain, the Annihilator and the I.E.B.N, while they may not be absolute, he would be able to accurately determine the position in which Hayden moves just by keeping track of changes in the air around him. This allows him to react 'early', not 'fast', to situations if his opponents surpasses his reaction speed, even if it has went over drastic improvements from his battles, the speed that Hayden is moving under required measures from his machines to do the work. Since it long had built-in sensors that was originally made in case of the failure of his I.E.B.N, it can be used for these purposes too if done correctly, allowing him to keep up even with Shadin's speed when they fight.

With Hayden on the other hand, the Nightmare would have no quarrels with him moving as fast as he loves, unless he can go faster to the point that can go past the processing speed of his machines, breaking a few times past the sound barrier wouldn't even be enough. The test of strength, eh? This kind of act is brave for a strong vizard like him to perform, but what he facing against is someone that is capable of controlling his strength at will and if he didn't put into consideration of the pressure that he attempted to crush the Vizard with earlier ago? He would be up for a treat when he tries to do play the game of brawn.

He kept his calm, analyzing the position that Hayden would constantly be in despite under the intense speed he moves under, by doing constant calculations in his surroundings, his eyes never flinched not even once. Not until when the Vizard male launched himself up into the air, his head lazily adjusted itself upwards and a pair of crimson red eyes would plainly stare at the momentum he is moving under. From there? His hand would reach right out, in an attempt to catch his leg with the amount of force it is carrying from its momentum. The Nightmare didn't care if it were to even damage his hand even just a little, but this may well be the only message that he will be giving him to let him know who he is dealing with. Bankai or not, Sou did have caught a train with his bare hands before that moves in a momentum that had far more energy and force that Hayden's simplistic kick.

If he is able to catch Hayden's leg? Well, first off, when both his hand and Hayden's leg makes contact, well, without further hesitation, Sou would proceed to break both the flesh and bones within Hayden's leg. No, it won't be just a simple 'snap' to his leg. He will cripple his leg to the point where his leg would be deprived of oxygen, blood, nerves and so on, and enough damage where even healing or regeneration would not save that leg anymore. The Nightmare didn't have time to deal with fun and games, since he is fighting at his best, he will give this Vizard man props for granting that request of his.

First? It would be to 'contain' all of that force right into his hand. This feat done by the likes of the vizard was not much, since the way how the Nightmare handles in using strength is fundamentally different from most, all that force carried by the momentum of Hayden's speed would be under the state of vibration once it impacts right against the palm of his hand, and by then? His muscle tissues across his arm would expand, enough to absorb all of that energy into the tissues without damaging it since his internal muscles has handled much more force and energy than this since he was once left with a couple of scratches even after splitting a path into two for miles, this kind of force was like a child's place to him. From there? He would compress all of that force to increase the density of the absorbed force from Hayden's impact, and redirect everything right back into his leg with twice the actual strength that was released upon Sou.

That is not all though. Since it came from Sou's internal body, he made a little bit of tweaking and with the intentions to cripple his leg from any means of healing or even regeneration, or even being able to be used in any other conditions. Instead of blowing it apart, he intends to break apart Hayden's entire leg on the inside while leaving a layer of skin and flattened meat on the outside, using vibrations to destroy his flesh and bone, atom by atom, molecule by molecule at a point which it would have evaporated right out of existence by the intensity of the vibrations being sent right back into his leg.

Healing? No. Regeneration? No. Rebuild the leg? No. With his experiences dealing with opponents that could regenerate or incapable of feeling pain, he would reapply the same but adjusted concept against him. Sou would attempt to sever his leg from all possible connection that allows his body to 'connect' or 'contact' his energy to heal that specific area by distorting the area around his leg, and directly regenerating it from the existing limb? Well, by scattering vibrations within the internal of his body, like cancer itself, it would obliterate any flesh and bones that comes right out of the blue, and if it persistently healed regardless of the circumstances? Well, these vibrations would serve to 'attach' itself to the molecules of his flesh, and even his bloodstream. Knowing how vibration works, especially in sounds, it would create a fairly weak signal within the insides of his body just by vibrating at a specific tick to relay message across Hayden's internal body. Since each cell has functions of its own, just by attaching itself to any of them would be enough. Yes, just enough to force Hayden's entire nervous system to attack himself; damaging his organs, throwing off his balance, affect his motor skills and so on.

Without a single mercy spared against him, Sou intends to destroy him faster than he could heal, whether physically or mentally. If for some reason that it does not work? Well, with all of that force being slammed right into him? He intends to strike right against his nerves and create an intensity of pain enough to make Hayden felt like as if his leg was sent into multiple dimensions, obliterated countless of times and crushed repeatedly. This idea was to that if he cannot physically destroy or cripple his opponents, this mental destruction is one other method. Since the Nightmare himself has went through different ordeals that would be enough to even kill especially the likes of the Vizard, he would intensify that pain a hundred, if not, a thousand times more than the actual damage since he knows exactly how to trigger that response in the body. Whether if his body is made of flesh, energy or anything of an another world, he knows how to get around him to have him feel pain that even the toughest of minds would break apart eventually. Not instantly, but eventually.

However, if the Vizard still persists to draw out his Zanpakutō to cut him? A light click from his tongue would be enough to create a weak vibration to 'guide' the Zanpakutō's direction away from him from being cut. Since the vizard's aim was to 'cut' with that Zanpakutō, not knowing what tricks he may have up his sleeve, he know 'cut' is the only word behind that attack. So, instead of physically confronting the attack, it would softly guide the direction away from even leaving a scratch on the skin of the Nightmare. Simply put, the vizard would feel as if someone or something moved the Zanpakutō away from him. It is not that he 'blocked' it, 'defended' against it or 'attacked' the Zanpakutō, instead, to save himself the energy of even moving his hand, attacking or even put up his vector field to defend himself, just 'moving' it away would be enough with a click of his tongue.

With that set and good to go? He had no time to deal with.. kiddy bullets. Barraging with energies? Well, well, he must be either out of his mind or out of options in this fight. He didn't want to waste his time taking it on one by one, bullet by bullet, because seriously? After all that big talk that this vizard made, this was all he wants to do to take this fight seriously? Man, no wonder he had no motivation to deal with both of them. Either way, he doesn't want to dirty his clothes neither does he want to waste too much of his energy to deal with a huge numbers of bullets coming at his direction. Sighing disappointingly, he guessed this is as far as he wants to get things done.

Within a flash, the Nightmare swung his crutch upwards and simply put a conclusion into this, the strength and energy imbued into the entirety of the crutch had enough power to create a powerful explosive force of shockwave, causing abnormal vibrations across the air above him and towards the Bolas that instead of causing the air to combust into flames, the intense vibrations caused between particles, especially the Bolas being caught in it, its compact and densely packed shape and energy made the job easier, since it would cause the air around and the energy particles within the Bolas to vibrate so intensely against each other, it would have burned too much energy and cause the Bolas to suddenly explode mid-air. Why? While it does burn out all the energy within the tightly packed Bola and causing it to run out of energy to retain its power nor its form, the vibrations would cause an explosion from the Bolas due to the frictional force that 'releases' the energy and causing it to explode. The explosion is not that big of a deal, since it is comparable to that of a dynamite's.

Rolling his eyes over, for the entirety of the situation, the Nightmare himself remained at the same exact position since the beginning of Hayden's assault. Standing his ground and maintaining his calm, it was clear that he is.. well, tired of his shit. Bankai? This is nothing but a mockery to begin with. Truly, this is a waste of time. Sou didn't bother attacking him at all, no, he didn't have the need to even start his assault in the first place. Why? He is not given a reason to really.. attack him. If this is truly a 'bankai' that the vizard just spitted right out of his mouth, then he should let it BE a bankai. All he has seen from him was 'Who has the biggest dick?' competition after his bankai, display of false strength and throwing nerf darts at him from the skies. That is probably the entire conclusion that he has seen from him and that is more like a normal kid's fight than a bankai in the first place. At this point, Sou don't even feel like taking this seriously and retreat from the Sugiura Realm without a second thought. Sighing again, the Nightmare made his statement clear this time without even beginning his assault as he stood on the same position with the exact calm expression that he had from the beginning, because really, he IS getting tired of this.

"I am tired of your shit. You have two choices from now, alright? You can either fight with everything that you have or i will just leave. I just don't want to waste my time anymore with you."

His eyes was dead serious with his statement. Hayden doesn't even deserve to 'earn' an attack from him at all. He didn't care whatever the Leonhardt girl or the vizard has to say about this but really, their antics either stops here or he will take a step right out of here. Reason? Going all out just because the vizard is not fighting at his best would just be a waste of time and energy. At this point? He would rather save all that energy to really get a kick out of a fight. This was the conclusion that is going to make out of this. In the end, the word 'Bankai' is just nothing but a weak, delusional power that is incapable of even hurting a fly to him. So, both of the young'uns should quickly make their decisions before wasting his time any further with pointless bickering with plastic swords and nerf darts.
