The Epic of Leviathan (A Mutant's Ascension)

Chapter 385 - Side Story- Rumi's Date (End)...

[With Rumi and Reo] 

"Yours?? So, tell me what are you going to do about it??" Reo asked in a mocking tone and felt the pressure on him increase but Reo wasn't bothered in the slightest. 

"Do you really think that you will be able to fight with me with that pesky power?" Reo asked and released a fraction of his power and the being in front of him felt his whole being shudder when Reo's power crashed against him. 

"That is just a minute fraction of my power… now I will ask you again, I invaded your Universe… what are you going to do about it?" Reo asked once again and the being wasn't able to give him any answer. This time the being didn't even try to use his power to pressure Reo. 

Reo felt the presence of the being slowly disappear and there was a reason that Reo didn't kill the being who tried to threaten him. The being was the God of this Universe or better known as the Presence… killing him would have destroyed the balance of this Universe. 

The presence was the cosmic energy or will of this Universe… killing him would mean that Reo was also destroying the cosmic forces… that would be very bad for any world. Reo smirked and his eyes went back to the fight. 

The remaining members of the League have finally arrived and Rumi went into her second stage of Armament Haki… her whole body started to shine with a silver sheen. The others might not understand the meaning of this but, to be honest… I feel somewhat bad for them. They are going to be basically treated as Rumi's punching bags. 

Wonder Woman was the first one to act and she lunged towards Rumi while brandishing her gauntlets of Submission. Superman was right behind Wonder Woman along with Shazam and Green Lantern. Rumi simply Flash Stepped and appeared right in front of Wonder Woman and punched. Wonder Woman brought the gauntlet in front of her to defend herself. 

Rumi was quite surprised to see that the bracelet didn't break but a smile appeared on her face when Wonder Woman was blasted back into Green Lantern's arms… Superman finally arrived in front of Rumi and punched her. Rumi simply raised her hand and stopped the punch. Rumi slammed her palm on Superman's chest, creating a giant shockwave from Superman's back. 

Superman dropped to his knees due to the internal pain he felt. Everything behind Superman was obliterated creating a giant canyon. The League completely froze when they saw the direction. This wasn't something normal… not even Superman was strong like this. 

Black Canary was shocked too but she attacked Rumi. Unfortunately for the Black Canary, Rumi Flash Stepped right in front of her before Black Canary could even release her breath… Rumi had already pulled back her hand and with an extremely fast jab, Rumi crushed Black Canary's throat. This didn't kill Black Canary but she wouldn't be able to use her power anymore. 

Hawkgirl had finally noticed what happened and the Thanagarian woman attacked Rumi with her mace. Rumi simply Flash Stepped away and appeared behind the Son Box Suit and landed a full-powered kick to the suit's knee… Rumi was surprised for the second time when her kick didn't even leave a dent on the metal. 

Reo knew about Rumi's mentality… both Rumi and Hela were battle maniacs but both of them were very different fundamentally. Hela was completely blood-thirsty and she didn't have any useless movements… She always went for the kill and she always aimed for the body's weak points. 

On the other hand, Rumi was completely straightforward… her attacks were basically punches and kicks, but she also used knees and elbows if needed. Her philosophy was quite simple… if your blows aren't working on the opponent then keep increasing your power until it works. 

That is what Rumi did even here. Rumi kicked the knee again but before her kick could even land, Batman's suit turned around and swatted away Rumi. Rumi turned her body in the air but a green astral hammer smashed her down on the ground… the hammer disappeared and a huge boulder was slammed on Rumi by Superman. 

Ohhh… that must have hurt, right?? But Rumi is a masochist so she might become excited. "Don't lower your guard" Wonder Woman said loudly and took her lasso in her hands. Superman had used so much force that the giant boulder had crumbled… while everyone watching the boulder, Hawkgirl went beside Black Canary. 

All of a sudden Rumi simply appeared beside the Green Lantern. Rumi was bleeding from her head and some blood was flowing from the corner of her lips too. Rumi's full-powered kick landed on Green Lantern's gut… Rumi's kick blasted through his mid-section and slowly his whole body was obliterated…

Everyone screamed in indignation but Rumi Flash Stepped in front of the cockpit of the Son Box Suit and landed a dropkick on the top of the suit's head. 

The ground beneath Batman's suit cracked creating a massive crater and everything around the area was completely obliterated… looks like Rumi had finally stopped holding back… the destruction was somewhat to what I had done to the Deika City. It was like Rumi had dropped a giant meteor. 

The prison was also gone… there were some survivors so I simply erased them… I shrugged, they were going to die either way. The dust cloud finally settled down and the Son Box Suit was embedded in the ground. Rumi had killed Green Lantern but other than him everyone else was alive… though Hawkgirl and Balck Canary were in a pinch. 

Batman was also badly injured… that suit might look completely fine but Batman had never thought that someone could land such a strong blow on the suit so he had overlooked the seat belts… I appeared on the edge of the crater and in my hand, I had another soda glass… the soda was really nice. 

Rumi was standing over the Son Box Suit. She cracked her neck. Superman, Wonder Woman, and Shazam finally started to crawl out of the dirt… they looked at the destruction and they were really surprised to see the amount of destruction. 

"Good you three are still alive… otherwise I would have been disappointed otherwise. Now that the riff-raffs are gone… the three of us can fight freely…" Rumi said with a grin on her face. 

"Don't you see what you have done?? You have killed so many innocents? You killed Green Lantern…" Shazam started to yell hysterically but Rumi snorted and cut him off. 

"Morals… What a joke… I don't give a fuck about morals as long as I can fight strong opponents… Morals were made by the weak" Rumi said and started to release her bloodlust. 

"You are wrong… it is our duty to protect the weak, you won't understand you are a murderer!" Superman said while gritting his teeth… he was slightly injured due to the blow Rumi had landed on his chest. Though thanks to the yellow sun he was slowly healing. 

"Hah… I was just like you before understanding myself… I also was a Hero who worked to save people but at that time I was simply lying to myself… it was never about protecting the weak for me… for me, it was always about the fights…" Rumi said with a proud look and Reo internally cheered. 

'YES, that's right!! That's my girl' Reo cheered internally while sipping soda.

"She is also like me… a warrior, she is very different from all of you but she has to restrain herself because of you people and your morals… she could have been much more but she decided to bind herself in your laws" Rumi said while looking towards Wonder Woman. Wonder Woman wanted to deny everything Rumi had just said but she knew that it was the truth. 

"Enough of dilly-dallying let's resume our fight" Rumi said and Flash Stepped in front of Wonder Wonder and attacked her with a kick. Wonder Woman was expecting something like that so she simply turned her body to dodge the attack and punched Rumi. Rumi simply used her palm to divert Wonder Woman's punch and Rumi knee slammed into Wonder Woman's hip. 

Superman came in hurling towards the two of them and started to attack recklessly… Thanks to Superman, Wonder Woman got some time to relieve herself from the pain. Shazam jumped into the fray and Rumi slammed her elbow on Shazam's shoulder while dodging Superman's attacks. 

Shazam screamed in pain but didn't back down and continued attacking Rumi. Rumi diverted Superman's punch and punched his shoulder using a lot of force… a loud crack resounded through the place and Superman's right hand became useless for the fight. 

Rumi raised up her foot and slammed it on Shazam's left thigh… and her left fist smashed into Superman's face. Rumi twisted her whole body and landed a roundhouse kick on Shazam's face… Shazam lost all of his power and dropped to the ground. Shazam reverted back into his original form. 

Wonder Woman finally got up and immediately lunged towards Rumi using her bracelets of Submission. She had remembered that Rumi wasn't able to break those bracelets… Rumi dodged the attacks from Wonder Woman and turned her body towards Superman who was still dizzy due to the punch to his face. 

Rumi pulled her fist back and landed a barrage of punches into Superman's chest before Wonder Woman could do anything… Superman spat out a mouthful of blood and dropped unconscious to the ground. 

"Now it's just the two of us…" Rumi said cheerfully and defended herself from Wonder Woman's attacks… Wonder Woman was the best fighter among this group and Rumi respected that. 

Rumi held back and fought Wonder Woman toe to toe… Rumi was having a lot of fun because there was someone who could exchange blows with her. Superman was strong no doubt, but he didn't know how to fight so he was easily defeated by Rumi. 

"Why are you holding back???!!" Wonder Woman screamed out in rage… it was frustrating and insulting to her pride. 

"So that we could fight for longer" Rumi answered Wonder Woman like it was the most obvious thing… The fight went on for around half an hour and neither of them had the advantage though Rumi was holding back a lot. 

Wonder Woman finally dropped to her knees when Rumi smashed her knee into her gut. Wonder Woman spat out a mouthful of blood and started to look at Rumi with heavy eyes… Wonder Woman knew from the beginning that they would lose but her pride wouldn't allow her to run away. 

"That was a pretty awesome fight… you were the third best fighter I have ever faced and I respect you for that… I hope that you get stronger…" Rumi said with a huge smile on her face and started to walk away from Wonder Woman. 

"Who is the strongest??" Wonder Woman asked with a lot of difficulties. 

"It is Leviathan…" Rumi said and continued to walk away. Wonder Woman saw the Titans were coming and she was immediately worried. She turned towards where Rumi was and saw that she was gone… just like she had thought… they didn't have a chance from the beginning…
