" Hraah! " Hermes shouts as he attacks 'Hundred' who can counter his Fast Strikes. Each strike comes back with another counter from Hundred whose speed matches Hermes' very fast rhythm.
"( This is getting annoying, guess defeating with Supersonic Speed is not enough!? )" Hermes realized that Hundred already matched his Subsonic speed, Hermes realized to deal with Hundred, he must increase his speed output.
" Hmph! "
[ Divine Jet Motoric Output Increase ]
[ Supersonic Speed Stage II: Supersonic State ]
Using his new output of speed, Hermes immediately attacks Hundred, with a punch so fast, that it hurts him hard.
" How do you like that? " Hermes wastes no time, continuing the tempo of his attacks, he knows that Hundred may never reach above Supersonic Speed.
"( Only us, the Diviners (gods) and Deviants (demons) could move faster than Supersonic. )"
"( It is our greatest ability, that even I, the god of Speed himself never once give the power of my speed to the mortals I Gifted with. )"
"( For us, the Divine gods, had vowed to never let mortals receive powers that could enable their body to move freely around the earth, such as Supersonic Speed Ability, Wind Levitation, Fire Jet, Flight, or more... )"
"( So, no matter how fast you are, even you with your Thunder Gift or Ability, you will never match my speed! )" Hermes proudly states within his mind, while rapidly attacking Hundred who defends himself with his Bulked Black Shadow Muscular Body.
" Hmph. "A hundred smirks, something which Hermes gets a glimpse of but instead of thinking about it, he brushes it.
"( He's trying to make me startle, isn't he? )" Hermes uses his [Quick Mind], a powerful Skill he came with alongside his Divine Level Speed, making him a great Planner and Action Taker.
Without brushing the smirk off, Hermes quickly kicks Hundred's face, using his limbs to continuously hit Hundred, trying to make him lose his balance over his ground.
"( I must admit, even with my current speed, this guy's body is very hard to damage. )"
"( What's his body even made of? )" Hermes with his quick-minded thinking process, began to load all of the answers within his mind, his memories.
[ Pinpoint Memory ]
Using this, Hermes began to scour his mind if he never faced something like this before, wondering if his experience could help him.
"( My [Pinpoint Memory] Ability is one of the rarest Divine Ability ever existed. )"
"( Only those with Thunder-based Divine Power could achieve this, like me or that of Aphrodite. )"
"( With this ability, surely I would get the answers, by constantly unlocking the memories of past experiences, witnessing it gradually, and quickly filtering it to find anything similar. )" Hermes quickly unlocks everything he remembered to the present, he tries to find answers that could answer his curiosity over Hundred's strength and durability over his constant attacks.
"( While keeping my attack tempo, I hope I can find the answers within my very own mind. )"
"( A great multitasking task, but for now, my victory over this guy depends on it, while... )" Hermes hears a huge bang, in his Supersonic Speed State, everything is slower around him.
At that time, Hermes realized, his Uncle Poseidon is not having a good time as he deals with his opponent.
" He broke through Poseidon's water defenses? " Hermes sees it, and he then notices the opponent's hand gesture, as if the hand.
" I see, so that's why... " Hermes sees the water around the opponent's hand, he sees the water dissolve from Poseidon's bending craft.
" Damn it, we both pick the wrong opponent! " Hermes quickly discerns what's going on, while he still trying to unlock his memories for Hundred's case. But, as the situation unravels, Hermes concludes that.
" My opponent, with his mysterious strength and speed is a great counter for me, alongside Uncle Poseidon's opponent may be able to control water just like him... "
" Dammit, perhaps I should instead pick a new opponent, I- "Before Hermes could choose his new opponent, he was then attacked from behind, by Hundred, again.
" Gotcha! " Hundred slams Hermes' head so fast into the ground.
" Kuokh! " Hermes was very surprised when receiving the damage, not only did it hurt him, but also...
"( How is this possible...? )"
"( This doesn't make sense...? )"
"( I never seen something like this before... )"
"( Wait, does this happened before... )"
"( No, before that I was untouchable... )"
"( No shit, this kind of thing must happen before, I, I..., I..., I... )" Hermes stutters in his mind, his curiosity over what happened, immediately disturbs his thought process, turning his multitasking mind progress into chaos.
< Pinpoint Memory Interrupted >
< Supersonic State Interrupted >
< Times flow normally once more. >
" Hmph got you for good right there! " Hundred grins, continuously rapidly attacking Hermes with great strength and speed. "
" God of Speed, hah! "
" You are not 'fast' enough to get what's happening, do ya! hmph!? Hundred kicks Hermes hard into the nearby wall, it is so hard cause when Hermes lands, his own Divine back is shattered.
" Kuookh!!! " Hermes receives the pain, he begins to puke everything from his nose and mouth. Blood, vomit, it all comes out after Hermes deals with such damage, something never happened to his untouchable and undamaged self.
" Hermes! " Poseidon sees him for a while, diverting his focus which also cost him his face as Ragna Twelve hits him hard again, slamming him more and more.
" Grh! " Twelve do this in his anger, he was pissed whenever seeing Poseidon's face.
* Ragna Twelve remembers Carla in his brief flashback. *
" Grhh... " Twelve grunts as he knocks Poseidon harder.
" Who in the hell are- " Poseidon tries to ask, which suddenly replies with.
" Back then, in the 12th Timeline... " Twelve said it to Poseidon, he stared at him with the sharpest stare he could ever give.
" You once graced a woman, whom you made your Divine Hero, did you not? " Twelve asks Poseidon grabbing his clothes.
" The one you had her Soul taken using your Divine Vow! " Twelve hits Poseidon's face while saying it.
" Timeline, you say? " Poseidon, being a Diviner he is, begins to hear Twelve's sound when the word 'Timeline' is mentioned.
" How do you know, about- " Poseidon asks while seeing Twelve's very human face.
" I know about the Previous Timelines, fool! "
" The very thing you hide from us, to sustain your Divine Domain! " Twelve said it and ended it with a punch.
" Giving Mortals your power so they could hunt Demons and gather their Deviant Energy for you to consume *Punch*. "
" Like familiars *punch* "
" You who used us and just dispose of us whenever we are no use to you *punch*! "
" You who always taking every glory behind all the deaths we did *punch*! "
" The continuous death that shouldn't ever happen *punch* *punch* *punch*! "
" If you just let my granddaughter kill the Current Reigning Deviant Monarchs, back in the 12th Timeline! " Twelve rapidly punches Poseidon when saying, angrily storms Poseidon.
" Grand..., daug... " Poseidon begins to get it.
" Yes, my granddaughter, Carla Kent! "
" Your goddamn, Divine Hero! "
