Four Arms slowly retracted his fist, the golden thunder light fading as the radiant aura around his body dissipated. He exited the Vajra Indestructibility state, though no injuries marked his crimson skin. Only his breathing had grown noticeably heavier.
Using this technique drained stamina at an alarming rate. His defense became as terrifying as Diamondhead's crystalline form, but of course, that kind of absolute protection came at a price, his physical energy reserves depleted rapidly.
Control was everything with this technique.
"He's changed back again? Could that glowing state have been some special technique he learned? Or maybe an ability he hasn't fully mastered yet?"
"Kill him!"
Vilgax's ruthless command echoed across Times Square. Every small combat drone and tech-enhanced robber turned toward Four Arms in unison, charging at the massive alien without hesitation!
"Perfect! Let me show you my technique, Eight Extremes Collapse!"
Four Arms' right fist rose like a artillery shell, raw power condensing so intensely that wisps of flame began dancing across his knuckles. When the punch launched forward, it carved a perfect arc through the air!
BOOM!
His right fist instantly obliterated the first combat drone that flew into his range!
The machine dissolved into nothing but metallic scrap!
But the destruction didn't stop there.
After shattering the first drone, the momentum of Four Arms' punch barely decreased. The devastating force continued its trajectory, detonating every Mechadroid in a straight line. Even the tech-enhanced robbers were sent flying backward, tumbling through the air before crashing into storefronts!
CRASH!
One tech-enhanced robber was launched so high into the night sky that he disappeared from view entirely, as if Four Arms' fist had knocked him clean out of Earth's atmosphere.
Another mechanized thug smashed directly into a retail shop in Times Square. The entire building collapsed with a thunderous roar, countless fragments of brick and steel burying him beneath the rubble.
Only a single metallic hand protruded from a gap in the debris, trembling weakly, clearly not long for this world.
A single punch from his Eight Extremes Collapse had cleared every enemy except Kevin and Rojo!
Four Arms slowly rotated his slightly sore right fist, his voice carrying casual menace. "I can perform that same punch two more times. So then, Kevin, Rojo, which one of you wants to come up and die first?"
In that moment, his overwhelming presence transformed him into something resembling a living catastrophe. The violent, chaotic aura radiating from his frame seemed to warp the very air, as if the sky itself might crack under the pressure!
The clouds above Times Square literally split apart from the sheer force of his killing intent, tearing open to reveal broken patches of moonlight that illuminated Four Arms' muscular red form!
His power had grown even stronger than before.
Kevin gradually found himself struggling to breathe properly. His gaze fixed on Four Arms with trembling uncertainty as he raised both hands and aimed them at the Tetramand's body!
He only dared to attack from a distance now!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A relentless barrage of electrical currents and flame attacks mixed together, bombarding Four Arms' position like a meteor shower. Thick smoke billowed outward as Times Square itself shook from the explosive impacts!
Kevin unleashed dozens of consecutive attacks!
Fireballs and electric blasts alternated in rapid succession, a devastating magical artillery bombardment!
This wave of attacks could have easily sent Dr. Animo's mutant T-Rex straight to the afterlife.
Kevin felt confident his offensive capabilities had far surpassed what they'd been when his powers were first enhanced.
"Kevin, your attacks are as weak as ever. For me, they're completely useless!"
Four Arms emerged from the smoke like a deity descending from heaven, golden light wreathing his entire body. He waved all four arms in a synchronized motion, generating a violent tornado that dispersed the smoke cloud covering Times Square. Countless debris fragments were sent flying in the opposite direction!
The wind roared like a natural disaster!
"Vajra Indestructibility, release!"
Four Arms silently deactivated the technique, and the golden radiance faded from his skin, revealing his unharmed crimson body once more!
Though this ability consumed enormous amounts of stamina, if it came down to a contest of endurance between himself and Kevin, Four Arms would definitely win!
One relied on impenetrable defense, the other on relentless offense. Kevin simply couldn't maintain his assault long enough.
"I, I want to absorb your abilities!"
Kevin stared at Four Arms' completely undamaged form, his eyes turning bloodshot with desperate greed for that power. His body erupted with bursts of electrical sparks as he flashed forward like lightning, appearing directly in front of Four Arms in an instant!
A palm wreathed in electric flames reached out to touch the Omnitrix symbol on Four Arms' chest!
"You think the same trick will work on me twice in one day?"
WHAM!
Before Kevin could make contact, Four Arms' hand shot out like an iron vice, clamping down on Kevin's outstretched wrist and suspending his entire body in midair.
Kevin's wrist was locked in that crushing grip, his whole arm going numb and powerless!
His fingertips hovered mere inches from the Omnitrix symbol, so close he could almost touch it, but his wrist felt like it belonged to someone else. Completely paralyzed. Unable to move a single millimeter closer.
"Let go! Let me GO!"
Kevin's body thrashed violently as he tried to break free, but his wrist remained clamped tight. No amount of struggling made any difference!
BOOM!
His other fist and both feet launched a furious barrage of strikes against Four Arms' body, attacking with pure rage!
But before Kevin's punches and kicks could even land, Four Arms simply lifted Kevin higher into the air. The sudden weightlessness made all of Kevin's attacks miss their target completely, his body swinging uselessly!
SLAM!
Four Arms raised Kevin up, then smashed him into the pavement on his left side. Then lifted him again and hammered him into the ground on his right side. Over and over, slamming Kevin back and forth against the street like a rag doll, creating one massive crater after another!
Kevin's voice went from enraged screaming to fearful pleading to complete silence...
The process was absolutely brutal.
Rojo watched everything unfold with wide eyes, unable to speak, her entire body trembling.
Staring at the crimson Tetramand, she found herself uncertain, who was the real villain here?
Vilgax's robots had all been destroyed. Only one remained, still locked in combat with Ben.
After this chaotic mess settled...
Four Arms finally showed a satisfied smile. He lifted the unconscious Kevin with one hand and said cheerfully, "That fighting style was incredibly cathartic. I feel so much better now!"
Kevin's face had been beaten into something resembling a swollen pig's head, his body bloated as if he'd transformed into some kind of "Inflation Man"!
He'd originally absorbed Heatblast's genetic code, but now it seemed even that alien DNA had been beaten out of his system. His body had reverted to its normal human form.
"Now then... it's your turn."
Four Arms casually tossed Kevin aside and began walking slowly toward Rojo, his expression radiating bone-chilling menace.
"Wait, wait a minute!"
Rojo frantically raised both palms toward Four Arms, her face filled with desperate flattery and fear.
"I'll do it myself!"
She grabbed one of her own weapons, a cannon that fired red laser beams, and without hesitation, aimed it at her own lower abdomen. The scarlet laser tore through her stomach instantly. With a agonized scream, she collapsed to the ground unconscious!
This woman would rather shoot herself than face Four Arms directly.
After all, she did not want to be slammed back and forth like Kevin had been!
