Even as the shockwaves of Peppers' explosion reverberated through the entire arena, Kraft who was now half alive thanks to Milk brought out his guns and shot through the residual smoke caused by the explosion.
A few clinks of recoil were heard and it goes to show that Jin had managed to block or at least reduce the damage taken from Peppers' magnificent explosion. "See, I told you he would not go down that easily. The Jin we know had always been holding back his powers a lot and this clone did not hesitate to use all of them." Kraft said as he sat on the ground huffing and puffing.
Even with Milk's healing which was considered to be top tier, the gods seem to know their way around to inflict near permanent damage to Kraft who could have interfered with the transfer of power from the Original Jin to their clone.
