ANGEL, GOD, AND MISSIONARY VS THE MASKED BLADE

'I am a god'......these words were all Stefan heard during Jashin's entire shpeel. If Jashin could have said anything, this would be the last thing to say while in the presence of this certain Vizard King. Honestly, there really isn't much of a worse thing to say to Stefan Soan. What is the reasoning behind this, you may ask? Well, you see, Stefan absolutely despises people who proclaim or declare themselves to be gods in any form, even just a minor god without any real power, such as some from Greek mythology. That's the whole point though: to Stefan, gods are part of mythology, and boring mythology at that. Even if the consequences are detrimental to him, Stefan will go out of his way no matter the circumstances to prove a creature or being is, in fact, not a god. He does this, usually, by making them bleed. Gods don't bleed.

When Justin began his rather strange transformation, Stefan simply closed his eyes seemingly calmly. However, even for someone as psychotic and mentally deranged as Justin, the pure, unadulterated rage pouring out of Stefan would be utterly apparent. The sheer killing intent from this man would make even some of the most strong-willed fighters cringe in terror, not to mention the exponentially larger amount of spiritual pressure being released from his body at the same time. Every single thing in the area was being crushed, including the very ground beneath Stefan's feet. From the distance equivalent to multiple football fields away, even powerful Adjuchas-class Hollows were disintegrating instantly. Buildings were collapsing from nearly a kilometer away from the sheer amount of pressure building up from Stefan's released power. Even in a new form, Justin's spiritual pressure seemed to pale in comparison, an ant being stepped on by a boot.

The adverse effects of being an ant beneath a boot are relatively clear. The boot drops, the ant goes bye bye. And in comparison to those two, Yakuin and the other two beings appeared to be dust mites in comparison to the two primary fighters. The two beings who had come along with Justin and Yakuin would most certainly end up being brought to their knees, despite the limited protection brought on by the Jashin fellow. More likely than not the same would happen to Yakuin. At the very least, she would find it extremely difficult to speak, much less move. Justin would feel encumbered, as though he were covered in massive weights or was being held down by an unbreakable steel net. He would end up suffering from sluggish reactions, and slowed movement.

Fast to the point of being a blur to even Justin, Stefan dropped his knees to an angle of about fourth five degrees, very nearly crouching, and then instantly disappeared. The ground itself around Stefan exploded viciously, a large crater being created in the process of simply moving from one location to another. Despite moving so much quicker than his opponents could even comprehend, Stefan did not leave a speed afterimage behind on purpose: he was no longer in the mood for such tricks. No, he was in the mood for something much, much more gruesome. Before Justin could complete even a single inch of his strange blood-related circle around himself, Stefan appeared in front of him. Well, he didn't appear just yet, technically. Though he stopped, his sheer speed kept him invisible for about a second longer after what he had just done.

You see, Stefan had put every single bit of momentum and physical brute force his powerful muscles could muster into a single attack: a double-fisted body punch. Stefan brought his arms forward, and aimed both of his fists straight for Justin's gut, with the fingers on each fist facing each other. The sheer immensity of this forceful blow caused a sonic boom around the two combatants, sending a circular shockwave out with Stefan's fists at it's epicenter. This attack resembled Genryusai Yamamoto's Sokotsu hakuda technique in both form and power. As a matter of fact, Justin risks having his abdomen be disintegrated from the blow completely. Not only that, but the pure kinetic energy would be transfered to Justin's body, which would create enough force to send him flying straight into the nearby cliff at a speed even faster than his own movement technique, Sonido. From the sheer speed of being sent into the base of the cliff, the surrounding area would begin to collapse. The earth below would be ripped apart, and that entire section of the cliff itself would begin to break apart and fall to the ground below, crushing Justin underneath the rubble. However, that wasn't all Stefan would do.

Without giving much time for a reaction from either opponent of his, Stefan began his next movement and action, thus continuing his assault. As he had interrupted Justin before he could even complete his circle, he didn't have to immediately worry about Yakuin trying anything, but the actual reason he continued his attack upon Justin was simply to inflict as much pain and damage upon the disgusting psychopath as possible, which Stefan happened to be extremely good at. However, his goal wasn't to kill him as he has a strict no-kill policy, but he would still revel in bringing him as close to death as possible, repeatedly.

Considering Justin had not completed his circle, he most likely still suffered from the injuries inflicted upon him by Stefan earlier, as well as the bodily damage from the attack he had just laid on him. This would give Stefan even more time to reach Justin before he could try to get away, or even escape the massive boulders that had fallen from the cliff face. Through sheer force of will, Stefan concentrated his spiritual pressure specifically on the rocks and boulders, which near-instantly crushed them into little bits, which would make it much easier for Stefan to reach his opponent's body. Stefan brought his right fist back behind his body, his left fist forward and up, and then took a step with his left foot forward. Doing this, Stefan stepped into his punch by bringing his right fist back forward, thus adding quite a bit of momentum into the punch. You might be asking why he did this.

You see, by concentrating spiritual pressure around his fist and adding a monstrous amount of power to a punch, Stefan can appear to punch the thin air, but yet still attack his victim. This punch, similar to his earlier one, broke the sound barrier, creating large, visible rings around both his right fist, his arm, and entire body. The compressed spiritual pressure and sheer power burst out from Stefan, creating another, yet more massive, sonic boom. However, this one was the attack itself. In an instant, all remaining rubble in front of Stefan was reduced to, essentially, ash. This also created a massive crated in both the ground and the remaining part of the cliff, as well as causing a massive explosion as would be expected from a sonic boom of such strength. Within the larger explosion, a smaller, yet more powerful, burst of reitsu was heading straight for the body of Justin Washi that would reach him faster than the blink of an eye. This would serve the same purpose as his earlier attack: completely disintegrate a portion of Justin's body. However, this would also cause a second explosion directly upon Justin, increasing the total damage even further.

After performing two massively devastating blows upon his enemy, Stefan brought himself back up to his normal stature and began to look around the battlefield. He gazed at Yakuin for a mere moment, but in that moment something would seem off to the Iramasha. Stefan's eyes were completely different from before. They seemed much darker, an extremely dark green shade of iris', and the rest of his eyes being near-black. Not only that, but his gaze itself seemed to radiate terror, which would bring any normal being to their knees, without even considering the man's spiritual pressure. Even for psychotic beings who very rarely felt fear, such a gaze could bring cold terror down to their bones, destroying their morale. However, Stefan continued scanning the surroundings, only stopping for a mere moment to look at Yakuin. It should also be noted that the bag of chips he had been holding earlier had been disintegrated by his own reitsu.
