17 Strength of the Artificial Humans
"Impressive." Deus spoke in a low voice while watching Dennis and Atom's fight. His body was also slightly blown away by the wind and shockwave.
When both of their fists clashed, Dennis slightly trembled and took a step back, his arms seemed to be injured with the back of his hands turning red-violet from being swollen.
Meanwhile Atom just stayed firm on the ground and his body not moving in the slightest. He then slammed a devastating strike that also carried an attack of a nuclear blast.
Dennis responded with a mighty punch, two attacks met and the space between them exploded, another shockwave was produced but this time it was stronger and louder.
Atom's attack was stronger because of his combined powers and Dennis was sent flying to hundreds of meters away while crashing into tens of buildings.
The dust settled and Atom can be seen still staying firm in his feet, he channeled his nuclear ability again. His palms was emanating dangerous energies and he charged towards the flying Dennis.
Dennis crashed into multiple buildings while flying for more than 600 meters, he was already far away from the Arena. He gritted his teeth and twisted his body mid-air, he stomped his legs firmly and he clawed his hands on the ground to stop himself from flying further.
Large gaps was created for tens of meters until Dennis finally stopped flying and he stabilized himself. He was sweating profusely and his breathing was becoming rough, he then touched his chest with a pained expression.
"A Dual-skilled? He has Super Physique and an ability that can make things explode. What a powerful fellow! Is this what it feels like to fight someone that's stronger than you?!"
Dennis was slightly scared of his opponent. This was the first time that he faced someone who was equally....no, stronger than him. Earlier when the attack struck him, he heard his supposed to be indestructible ribcage cracking after that strike. Now it already healed, but he was still scared about that strike.
"I have no time for this! I have to help those people and I have to find Alex!"
Dennis already knew that he would be overpowered if he fought with the blondie in a long-term match. Escaping was a useless idea as he knew that the other guy was faster than him, so he decided to settle this quickly and return to the arena to destroy those machines.
"But how do I finish this quickly?" Dennis then thought of this and he was troubled.
He never fought with someone who had the same powers as him, so he doesn't know how to beat that blonde guy. He only knew about overwhelming his opponents with brute force but he didn't know if the same could be done to someone who had a similar power like him.
"I'll have to go all out! It's do or die!" Dennis straightened his back, he readied his arms and clenched his fist tightly. His deep-blue eyes shone with determination as he steeled his mind.
He saw the rapidly approaching Atom, his hands emitted a threatening power and his emerald eyes gleaming with menacing light. When Atom saw Dennis, he increased his pace. A loud boom sounded out and the ground trembled from the might of his steps.
Dennis prepared for the greatest battle in his life, no it was for his life.
He was not one of the Class-5s who had a huge ego because of their power, instead he was one of the more peaceful and nice type. But this still didn't prevent him in having fights with other super-humans in the past so he had alot of experience.
Atom jumped high up in the sky, reaching 700 meters in the air. Placed his hands behind him and he detonated a nuclear blast from his palms. He then descended with great speed and a terrifying momentum. His face was cold as he threw out a 'Nuclear Punch' at Dennis.
Dennis was not planning on taking that punch head on, his bestial instincts already told him the might of that strike. When Atom's figure was getting closer, Dennis jumped out, dodging the dangerous strike.
Atom's fist just landed on the ground and the earth trembled. It exploded with a deafening boom, and everything from hundreds of meters were destroyed, a huge crater was left and the area was teeming with radiation.
Dennis saw all of this mid-air and he sucked in a breath of cold air. He felt a chill down his spine as he thought, "If I was hit by that, I would definitely suffer a heavy injury."
Atom stood in the middle of the crater, his body emitting dense amounts nuclear radiation. People with the 'Super Physique' was resistant to almost anything including diseases, so he didn't care about the radiation.
His emerald eyes glanced at Dennis who was falling on air and he did a huge leap towards him. He wanted to be on the offensive and not give his enemy a chance of fighting back, he wanted to overwhelm him.
The wind around his fists seemed to break as he swung his fists that emanated nuclear energy. Dennis couldn't dodge it and decided to try and parry the attack, but when he really tried it, he couldn't fully parry Atom's attack so he was sent flying again.
Atom charged in a relentless pursuit but Dennis was ready for a full fist fight so he stopped himself from flying and he charged at him in a similar fashion.
This time Dennis was the one who managed to strike first, his fists carried herculean might as it landed on Atom's face and he was sent flying.
"You like that! Huh?! Bitch?!!" Dennis screamed in satisfaction. He finally managed to strike back!
Atom's face was still cold as he immediately clawed on the road and he stopped flying. He stood back up and charged at Dennis again, sending out a fist. Dennis parried the strike and he responded with a punch of his own.
The two of them began on exchanging blows. It was the most basic of fights, no techniques or anything, just simple and straightforward punches that shook the earth with its might and made the winds rage.
Deus saw their fight through a Sentinel that was following them to monitor the progress.
Both of them had the ability of 'Super Physique'. Their innnate physical strength were overwhelming, their speed was immense, their bodies were extremely durable and indestructible to almost anything, their stamina was extremely vast and all of their senses were greater than any human.
These two could fight for days without tiring out and their injuries would be healed quickly because of the super healing factor from their physique. Everything around them would be destroyed and huge craters would be made in their raging fight.
"But in the end, Atom would definitely win as he would utilize his Nuclear ability to enhance the power of his blows and he can also do ranged attacks to wear down Dennis."
Deus already knew the outcome of their fight so he turned his attention on Deviate. Which was currently searching for the third Class-5. The Sentinels were the ones flying around and killing the fleeing humans, and the other machines already arrived and they joined in on the slaughter.
She already defeated Alexandra, and now the magnetic girl carried by a Sentinel. She was unconscious with her body riddled with wounds and her head bleeding. Deus didn't about it as he knew that it wasn't really a life threatening head injury.
Earlier, Alexandra resurfaced and vomitted out large amounts of sea water. Miami was near Biscayne Bay, especially the American Airlines Arena and she was teleported to the bottom of it, then she happened to resurface in the same area.
Deviate's telekinetic senses detected her location and she immediately began on beating Alexandra up with two trees that was uprooted and controlled through her telekinesis. Alexandra couldn't fight back and soon she ended up in a bad state.
"Where is the third one goddamn it! If she was sleeping, then she should've woken up from all these screaming and explosions!"
Deus was getting annoyed at the thought of the other Class-5 not showing up yet.
"Could it be that she escaped secretly as soon as everything's gone to shit?! Is that girl one of those kinds of people?"
