Lightning Is the Only Way

Right now, since Gravis' body was shrunk to a size of two meters, his power had been halved. With this body, he was only double as powerful as a level two King. With the Plant Ultimate having created a Divine Beast body, her body was four times as powerful as Gravis' body.

Whoom!

Gravis pushed all his power into his body, making it three times as powerful. With this, his opponent's body was only 33% more powerful, a gap that wasn't hard to overcome.

All these thoughts had happened in an instant, and the Plant Ultimate was still charging at him.

BANG!

Gravis shot forward, but he didn't use his Spirit, Will-Aura, or lightning. This would be a purely physical fight.

The Plant Ultimate closed in on Gravis and punched forward. Gravis simply caught the punch with his left hand. Then, he jumped a bit and grabbed her other hand as well.

CRSH!

Gravis rammed his two feet downwards, right at the Plant Ultimate's feet. The claws on his feet easily dug into her feet. With this, Gravis had caught all her appendages. She couldn't move anything anymore.

Gravis smirked and used his long mouth to bite the flower on top of the body.

CRK!

Gravis' teeth broke as he bit the hardest thing he had ever come into contact with. Yet, instead of feeling helpless or angry, Gravis simply jumped back again.

"If you were a level three King, you would be dead right now," Gravis said with a smirk.

"Again!" the Plant Ultimate shouted as she charged forward again with another punch.

Whoop!

Gravis easily evaded the attack with his flexible waist. "I know why you're doing this," Gravis said.

"Enlighten me!" the Plant Ultimate said again as she performed a kick, which Gravis also dodged. He simply had way too much experience with fighting humans.

"You've probably seen that Ascenders can transform into humans," Gravis said as he easily dodged more attacks. "You know that you will also be able to transform into that body when you ascend, so you're using me to gain combat experience with your future body."

The Plant Ultimate stopped attacking. "Fuck! How did you know that!? Only I have seen the last Ascender! No one else should know that they can transform their bodies! Also, what the fuck is a human!?" she asked.

Gravis only smirked. "I know a lot of things. Haven't you heard Ferris say that I'm filled with wisdom?" he asked with mirth.

"You're filled with shit, is what I think!" the Plant Ultimate said. "Now, stop dodging!"

Gravis didn't comply.

"I want something in return," Gravis said between dodges.
