Maximilian stood there, 10 feet away from Bruce, weighing his options of battle. "This is going to be fun" muttered ", Bruce to himself with a wide grin. This time Max rushed at Bruce, he stomped on Bruce's leg and drags his head down to meet his knee, Bruce took two steps back dazed from the attack but Max kept going, He swept Bruce's feet knocking him further off balance, then proceeded to roundhouse kick him square in the chest, the kick sent Bruce flying deep into a thick wall of ice. Bruce walks towards Max and jabs the left side of his chest right above his heart. " not but an .....", Max feels a blow to his face, right rib and gets swept off his feet. Bruce kick's his back sending him straight into the air, Bruce jump and tries to send him into the ground with a kick, but Max blocks with the back of his heel. Max hook his leg on Bruce's and elevates himself, he then knees Bruce's face again, before releasing the hook and stomping him onto a nearby mountain, Bruce his foot in the snow to stop himself from flying over the edge. Max rushes in for a flying kick, but Bruce also kicks in retaliation. Noticing this Max stop, turned for momentum, and took off Bruce's right leg from the knee down with one swoop spun again to round-house kick him in the stomach, the hit landed almost knocking him off the edge, but Max wasn't done just yet, he grabbed Bruce and slammed him on the bare ground before leaping up high for a dropkick the shook the mountain to the core. " Is that proof enough for you? " asked Maximilian as he got off Bruce, "You really should be worried for yourself" announced Bruce as he got up and had a pure white leg replace his original one. " I really don't like going all out," He thought to himself " I would have had to change houses soon anyway but still". Bruce then continued "so as not to destroy this place, I'll hold back my kicks got it?", Max grins smugly," says the man about to lose his life," he says as he disappears and reappears behind Bruce about to kick his head, " so he can adapt and copy a lot," he thinks to himself as he dodges swiftly and strikes Max's chest. MAX receives life-ending blows as power full as nuclear explosions on every part of his body. Bruce stands up and jabs him, the impact was going to send him flying, but Bruce caught his leg a slammed him on the ground with almost no effort, the impact on the mountain was five times as bad as the earlier dropkick, more so that the half that Max's head was on broke off. "give up you phony god" Bruce says as the releases Max's leg "I wonder how it would look if I killed another god". "Another??" asks Max, "You mean you couldn't tell.... I'm the last surviving slayer," says Bruce with a sense of pride " but I must say, you're disappointing me here.....I was hoping you would be more of a threat than this.... you know for a god". Max sits up and smirks "Is that so?". A golden dome forms around the mountain, "you want to see power..... I'll show you power!". Max declared before he disappears, he reappears behind Bruce then strikes the back of his neck knocking him off balance. Bruce began to fall backward, then Max jumps into the air and destroys the mountain with a golden finger beam, and Bruce fell in the destruction.
"In the end he couldn't surpass me..... and he got all pumped up as well" he thought to himself". Max dropped to the ground to check the state off Bruce's body," You win this round" chuckles Bruce,"guess so" replied Max absent mindedly " will you do it now?" he asks getting straight to the point. "yeah I'll help..... but it'll cost ya", "what is it you want?" he asks hastily,"when the time is right and the boy surpasses me... then and only then may you return his power"demanded Bruce. Max scoffs " that's all??...I guess those are agreeable terms.... for a mortal". The dome faded and a sword appeared above them, it slowly descends until it touched both men. A great white light some as it does so, after everything Bruce was left there with a baby at his feet, he took the child too his house in the mountains to dress and feed him."I'm gonna call you....Jack" he said lifting the child in the air" and you can call me grandpa Maxi" he says in his usual playful manner and a wide grin on his face "you are going to be something special" he chuckles.
