As Soren offered Meruem a way to heal his injuries, Meruem took a minute before responding.
[...I will try your method of healing me, but when I kill you don't complain in the afterlife]: meruem
When Meruem said this Soren had a grin appeared on his face and then tossed Meruem a Senzu Bean.
When Meruem caught it he looked at it before asking what it was.
[That is called a Senzu Bean, I found it in the mountains and was eating it as a source of food, I realised that it could heal wounds that got inflicted when fighting animals… Eat it, your wounds and damage will go away, and afterwards we can fight]: soren
Meruem put the Senzu Bean in his mouth and started to chew it, once he swallowed it his body began to glow a little and all his wounds were healed.
[I feel lighter… is this the effect of this food?]: meruem
[Yes, all of your wounds have been healed… So, let's start our fight]: soren
We Soren Said that He released all his power towards Meruem, All his Nen was Focused into making his Star Armor. (I decided to call his Hatsu(Nen release) Star Armor, if you don't like it give some Ideas)
Once the Star Armor covered his body Soren Released his King's Haki to cover the battlefield making Meruem stagger a bit, after his Haki was released Soren's Eyes turned Red and inside was A black dot with 3 Tomes floating around. Once this happened Soren's aura Spiked even higher than before, and when Meruem seen then he took a few steps back before calming himself.
[So this is your full power?... I see why you think you can beat me by yourself, if given time you really could]: meruem
When Meruem finished his sentence Soren started to laugh before speaking.
[HAHAHA!... Do you think you still have a chance? My power has more ability to it than pressure, once you attack you will see… Now, power up and come fight me]: soren
As Soren said that Meruem started to release his power, as every passing second he got stronger and stronger, after 10 -15 seconds Meruem's power shot through the sky equaling or even stronger than Soren.
'Hehe, looks like I was right he is number 2 on the leaderboard, once I surpass him I will be number 2 and then I just have to wait until number 1 dies from old age… at least that's what Sakura said'
Once Meruem was done he started to speak again.
[Now please don't hold it against me but I will kill you now. And to give you peace of mind, I won't eat you after you die]: meruem
[Talk is cheap, you need to do it first. And eat me? You won't be able to even pierce my skin]: soren
As Soren said his sleazy line the battle commenced, Soren ran towards Meruem as Meruem ran toward him. They clashed with neither side willing to budge even an inch, When Soren activated his Sharingan to put Meruem under a Genjutsu Meruem had backed off. The genjutsu worked and Meruem was seeing himself being torn to bits by the humans he has killed as Soren watches, As Meruem is being torn apart by these humans he is trying to free himself but to no avail.
[You will not break free from there, in this world you have no power]: soren
Soren told Meruem who was looking around at the humans who were killing him, every time a human would rip off a limb or cut into him the wound would immediately repair itself.
[What is this? Why do I feel pain but have no wounds?]: meruem
[Your wounds heal themselves instantly in this world, the more you struggle the more pain will be inflicted]: soren
As Soren said this Meruem thought for a second before saying.
[So to say this world is fake?]: meruem
[....]: soren
[Then I should not fear this world because no harm is being done to my real body… this is one terrifying ability]: meruem
Soren was shocked to see how smart Meruem really is, to the point that he realised he could break out of something that shouldn't even exist in this world.
'Shit… I spoke to much, well I guess it's time to kill him"
As Soren finished this thought, Meruem closed his eyes and force all the will he could to break the genjutsu. In doing so he went from being surrounded by humans to standing in his previous spot with Soren doing the same.
[So I guess you can't move when doing that?]: meruem
Soren was in thought on what to use next and didn't hear Meruem.
[So I guess that's a yes… then here I come]: meruem
As Meruem rushed forwards Soren snapped out of his train of thought.
[Ha?... Oh, you want to come at me this time]: soren
Once Soren seen Meruem running up to him he used his hand to block the kick coming from Meruem, once the attack collided Soren was launched back a few meters.
[Oh? What a strong kick… If I had no defence I would be dead]: soren
Soren then rushed up to Meruem and threw a faint before disappearing, Meruem put his arms up to block Soren's punch but then saw him disappear. The next moment, Soren appeared behind Meruem kicking him in his unguarded side, sending him around 10 meters away coughing up some blood.
[How do you like my kick? Strong enough for you?]: soren
Meruem got up from the ground wiping the blood from his mouth before talking.
[... You are definitely worthy to be my opponent, that old man only managed to harm me from a sneak attack]: meruem
[It honors me to hear such praise from a bug, Haha!]: soren
Soren started to see the fight as one he already won, Meruem was the opposite he knew that the attack that Soren gave him ruptured his lungs. Soon he would not be able to fight and die, Soren had indefinitely won this fight.
[So will you fight some more?]: soren
[... You have won this fight, but I will fight you to the death]: meruem
[That's what I wanted to hear… But before I finish this fight I want to know something… What did you feel when killing Humans?]: soren
[If you really want to know… I felt… Nothing, every time I killed a Human it was like killing food]: meruem
[I thought so… why would you spare food, I feel the same towards the animals I eat]: soren
As Soren said this Meruem gave a slight smile before speaking again.
[And like you Humans can get attached to those Animals I have found one I am deeply attached to… I will go into the next life knowing that I could have been better]: meruem
As Soren seen Meruem repenting his sins he had a connection.
'I remember Meruem really felt different towards the blind girl… His only companion he truly loved… It was a sad moment when he died, maybe I can convince him to change'
[Meruem!... Are you willing to change?]: soren
