In the sea of flames below, Heatblast raised his head slightly, glaring at Kevin and his group as they fell from the sky.
With his left palm, he controlled the flames carefully, ensuring the area surrounding the guards wouldn't be consumed by the inferno. His right palm slowly rose, positioning itself to strike at Kevin with devastating precision.
BOOM!!
From Heatblast's raised right palm erupted a massive pillar of fire, towering like a skyscraper as it shot straight into the sky!
An absolute killing move from the very first strike!
"You, get over there!"
Without hesitation, Kevin grabbed one of the mechanical robbers falling beside him and hurled the unfortunate machine directly into the path of the surging fire column!
Using the momentum from the throw, he twisted his body mid-air, jumping sideways to deviate from the pillar's original trajectory!
"Boss Kevin, why..."
The mechanical robber's protest was cut short as its body was completely engulfed by the roaring flames!!
That advanced alien technology melted like dried hay, instantly reduced to ashes. The temperature of these flames was utterly outrageous!
"Whew!"
Kevin exhaled in relief, though fear still lingered on his face.
That had been close, too close. If he'd been caught by that pillar of fire instead, he might not have been instantly vaporized to dust, but he'd definitely be dead!
"Why are his flames so much more powerful now? They're vastly stronger than what he showed yesterday..."
Kevin's expression twisted with confusion.
What they didn't know was that Asher's fury had reached its peak. Nothing enraged him more than his family being dragged into danger because of his actions. That was something he absolutely couldn't tolerate.
Anyone who crossed that line would face the full force of his wrath!
"Damn it! Attack him!"
"We can't let him strike us again, we need to turn this defensive position into an offensive one!"
"If we fall down there, we're dead! Try to fight him in aerial combat!"
The mechanical robbers activated the rocket thrusters built into their bodies. Their descending momentum stabilized as they suspended themselves in mid-air, including both Kevin and Rojo among their number!
Going down meant entering a hell of fire, a guaranteed dead end!!
"You think staying in the sky will save you? I can still crush you!"
Heatblast's body straightened as flames beneath him roared like rocket propulsion, lifting his form directly into the air until he hovered at the same height as Kevin and the others!!
One against many.
Heatblast stood alone, facing several mechanical robbers, Rojo, and Kevin!
Yet somehow, the side with superior numbers trembled with fear and hesitated to make the first move. Meanwhile, the solitary figure radiated unstoppable momentum, an aura that promised nothing but violence!
In terms of sheer presence, he completely dominated these weaklings!
"Fire Fist!!"
Heatblast swung his right fist forward with explosive force, releasing an enormous flame shaped like a colossal fist. The moisture in the surrounding air evaporated instantly, and the atmosphere itself seemed to change color at a speed visible to the naked eye!
This punch was naturally aimed straight at Kevin!!
Staring at the fire fist, nearly as large as a small house, Kevin's mouth fell open in shock!
"Come on, let's attack together!"
Several tech-enhanced robbers flew side by side, raising the turrets mounted on their arms in unison. They unleashed a barrage of red lasers!
The layers of concentrated laser fire merged together, creating a shock wave-like beam that collided head-on with the fire fist!
The sky erupted in violent color shifts!!
"You nameless nobodies think you can block my fist? What a joke!!" Heatblast growled through gritted teeth, releasing even stronger flames into his punch!
BOOM!!
The fire fist violently suppressed the laser beam and continued its advance toward Kevin!
"Don't think I'm some helpless lamb for slaughter, Asher!" Kevin raised both palms in fury. Swirling electrical currents condensed into a hammer-like mass of energy before him, resembling Thor's hammer itself. The spinning construct smashed toward the fire fist!
Rojo joined the assault as well!
With all their combined attacks layered together and colliding with Heatblast's fire fist, they barely managed to match his overwhelming power and block that terrifying punch!
"Don't forget, I have another fist!!"
Heatblast maintained his first punching stance while simultaneously bending his other arm back. Another fire fist erupted from his left hand!
BOOM!
This second punch launched!
Kevin, Rojo, and the remaining tech-enhanced robbers scattered like frightened birds, fleeing in every direction. They barely escaped the second fire fist's devastating range!
The sky became a chaotic battlefield, like fighter jets entangled in aerial combat, with massive explosions erupting at regular intervals!
"Higan! Higan! Higan!"
Heatblast formed his fingers into a gun-like shape, releasing bullet-shaped flames like a Gatling gun as he frantically fired at every enemy before him!
"AAAGH!!"
One mechanical robber took a direct hit. Flames consumed its entire body as it plummeted toward the ground far below, burning to death before he even struck the earth.
The others watched in terror, not daring to let those horrifying flames touch them.
Among everyone present, only Kevin and Rojo could barely withstand Heatblast's attacks. The rest could only dodge desperately.
Even Vilgax couldn't stand watching anymore.
"These useless pieces of trash. I told you to create a proper ambush, but instead, you went to steal money. Now I have to dispatch troops to rescue you. Once I obtain the Omnitrix, every single one of you is dead!!"
A camera and monitoring program attached to one of the mechanical robbers' armor panels transmitted the scene directly to Vilgax. He watched with mounting fury.
So many of them together, and they still couldn't defeat a single opponent. Absolutely pathetic!!
Mechadroid troops, dispatch!
The Mechadroids that had been hiding in the shadows emerged, dozens of them appearing at once, landing beside Kevin and the others like divine reinforcements descending from the heavens!!
WHIRRRR!
Countless turrets swiveled simultaneously, all aiming directly at Heatblast!
"Whoa, there are so many? Just how wealthy is that Vilgax guy to create such a massive number of robots?" Kevin stared in confusion, genuinely frightened by this overwhelming display of firepower.
Rojo and the other tech-enhanced robbers were equally shocked.
This level of firepower, equivalent to a national military force, was this truly the extent of Vilgax's power?
Following someone this powerful meant real opportunities for the future!
Even Heatblast, despite his vast combat experience and greatly enhanced strength, felt his body tense slightly as a powerful sense of crisis welled up within him when facing so many cannon barrels at once!
It was a long-forgotten sensation of genuine danger!
His expression grew tense as he murmured to himself, "Fire Fist, Higan, and the rest... I'm afraid they can't stop this many simultaneous attacks."
Whirrrr.
Countless red targeting lights flickered as the lasers began charging.
Kevin displayed a smug smile, shaking his fist excitedly, "Asher, you used to chase us down! Now it's our turn to chase you!!"
He imagined the dozen or so Mechadroids belonging to Vilgax attacking Heatblast relentlessly, striking him with nowhere to escape.
But to his surprise...
Heatblast slowly raised both palms with unwavering determination.
Only with that technique could he defeat this mechanical army!!
Time to use his strongest move!
"What?? He's actually planning us head-on!" Kevin stared at Heatblast, who stood completely still and ready to face the assault directly. His shock intensified!
This is suicidal!!
Does this Pyronite really think he's that powerful?
Even Vilgax was stunned.
"I didn't expect this, Asher. You're so strong, yet so arrogant. Perhaps your rage has consumed your mind, making you believe you're invincible? Today will be your funeral!!"
Heatblast ignored their taunts.
He simply whispered two sentences.
"Great Flame Commandment."
"Flame Emperor."
