Part 1
As class finished, Shana and Laka were walking slowly towards home. Shana asked what Laka had done the previous day, where he had gone. Laka said he had been running errands, and then pulled out a debit card, mentioning that the bank had been very crowded and the line had taken two hours to finally be called. Shana asked how much money he had saved up, and Laka replied that he had around 150,000 yen stored up. He had saved this amount working for many years at his own job. Shana then asked what his job was, and Laka hesitated before answering that he was a babysitter.
Shana was surprised, but Laka explained that it was a stable job and he enjoyed taking care of children. Then, Laka asked if Shana wanted to train her powers. Shana exclaimed yes, as she had been wondering how to use them. The only power she had was regeneration, but it wasn't as fast as her brother's. Laka was willing to teach her, and so he took her to the nearest forest and found an open field.
As they walked through the forest, the lush greenery enveloped them in a serene embrace. The sunlight filtering through the trees cast a warm glow on their faces, and the gentle rustle of leaves in the wind created a symphony of nature. Shana couldn't help but feel a sense of peace and contentment as she walked alongside Laka.
As they reached an open field, Laka turned to her with a smile on his face. "Are you ready to train your powers?" he asked, excitement clear in his voice. Shana nodded eagerly, eager to learn more about her abilities.
Laka began by teaching her how to control her regenerative abilities, showing her how to focus her energy and use it to heal her body at an accelerated rate. As she practiced, she could feel her powers growing stronger, and she was amazed at how quickly she was able to heal even the most minor of injuries.
As Laka and Shana stood in the open field, surrounded by towering trees and the sound of birds chirping in the background, Laka prepared to teach Shana the ways of harnessing her ki. He explained to her that, just like in Eastern countries where they call it ki and in Western countries where they call it magic or mana, this energy is deep and infinite, flowing naturally within the body. But because humans have fragile bodies, only a small portion of this energy is released, even by the best athletes in the world.
Laka began by demonstrating how to control the flow of ki by dragging a giant boulder that weighed two tons with ease. He then grabbed smaller boulders, each weighing less than the first, and handed one to Shana. "Lift this rock," he said, "it weighs 750kg."
Shana tried to lift the boulder, but it was too heavy for her. Laka could see the determination in her eyes and knew she was ready to learn. "Focus your ki on your arm," he said, "and try again."
Shana closed her eyes and concentrated, visualizing the ki flowing through her body and into her arm. She opened her eyes and, with a fierce determination, lifted the boulder with ease. Laka smiled, proud of his student's progress.
As Shana struggled to lift the boulder, Laka watched her with a keen eye. He knew that her physical strength alone was not enough to lift such a heavy weight, and he wanted to help her understand the importance of balancing both physical strength and ki in order to truly excel.
"Turn off your ki," he instructed her, and she did as she was told. Despite her efforts, the boulder was still too heavy for her to lift. "You must rely on both physical strength and ki," he explained, "They must be at the same level. If one is stronger than the other, you might be in a pickle when somebody takes your ki but your physical strength is weak."
Laka knew that training one's ki to the highest level was easy, but achieving pure physical strength alone was a much harder task. He wanted to help Shana understand the importance of balancing both, so she could truly excel in her abilities.
As they continued to train, Laka watched Shana's progress with pride. He knew that with his guidance and her determination, she would soon reach the level of balance between her physical strength and ki that he knew she was capable of. And as she mastered this balance, she would become a force to be reckoned with.
As the sun began to set and the sky turned a brilliant orange and pink, Shana and Laka took a break from their training. Laka pulled out a large carton filled with sandwiches, the aroma of freshly baked bread and savory meats wafting through the air. Shana took a bite of her sandwich and her taste buds were awakened by the flavors of succulent ham and juicy tuna.
She ate with ravenous hunger, her body craving the nourishment after a long day of training. But as she reached for another sandwich, she realized that she had eaten them all, leaving none for her brother. She felt a wave of embarrassment wash over her and she lay on the ground, apologizing profusely to Laka.
But her brother only smiled and reassured her that there were plenty more where that came from. He told her that the training they were doing was boosting her metabolism to the max, making it completely reasonable for her to be eating so much. And so, with her hunger sated, they continued their training with renewed energy, determined to uncover the true extent of Shana's powers.
As Shana trained tirelessly, lifting rocks and boulders with increasing weight and difficulty, her physical strength grew. She pushed herself to her limits, testing her endurance and durability as she lifted massive stones with and without the aid of her ki.
As the sun began to set, casting a warm orange glow over the landscape, Shana knew that her final training session had arrived. Laka, her mentor, presented her with a 1 ton boulder and challenged her to lift it without the aid of her ki.
At first, Shana struggled against the immense weight of the boulder, but she soon found the proper technique and lifted it with one arm. Laka, impressed by her progress, told her to turn on her ki and as soon as she did, the boulder felt as light as a feather.
With a broad smile on her face, Laka jokingly compared Shana to the Hulk from Marvel, claiming that she now had the power to throw cars. Laughing at the absurdity of the statement, Shana dropped the boulder and playfully challenged her brother to a test of strength.
Shana's brother accepted her challenge and told her to fight him with everything she had. Without hesitation, Shana unleashed a blitz of punches and kicks, her mastery of both ki and physical strength on full display.
Her brother was impressed by her speed and skill, but he was able to dodge her attacks with ease. Shana quickly adapted, taking on a boxing stance and unleashing a barrage of punches. Her brother was surprised to see that she had mastered the art of boxing and decided to fight her fair and square.
As the two fought, it became clear that Shana's brother was the superior fighter. He was able to dodge and block her punches with ease, his body moving on its own. But Shana refused to give up, she throws a hook at his face and liver but Laka dodges and blocks it perfectly. She throws a couple of jabs to his body but dodges it very easily.
Feeling the pressure, Shana's brother decided it was his turn to attack. He held back his punch, but the recoil of it sent Shana flying into a nearby tree. Laka was worried that he had overdone it and ran to her, his face anxious as he tried to wake her up. But as soon as he saw her laying there, his face became even more anxious as he tried to wake her up, almost crying. But as
soon as he cried, Shana smiled jokingly and said "I got you back hehe."
But Laka scolded her sister, Shana, not to do it again and also gave her a hug. Shana couldn't help but laugh inside, comparing her new adopted brother to her mother scolding her when she was a kid. She told Laka that the training was enough for today and that it was time to go home.
At home, since Laka was there, there was no room for Shana, and she didn't want someone sharing her bed. Laka understood and said it was okay for him to sleep on the couch.
But as the night wore on, Shana found herself having trouble sleeping in her bedroom. She couldn't shake off the feeling of unease, her mind racing with thoughts of the day's training and the intensity of her brother's scolding. Despite her physical exhaustion, her mind kept her awake, and she couldn't shake off the feeling of unrest.
But Shana was excited for her next training session in one week and was trying to go to sleep, but somebody knocked on her door at this late hour. She opened it to find Laka standing there, holding a strange collection of objects in his arms. He walked into her room and laid out an ice cube, a glass container with fire inside, a glass of water, a lightbulb, and a pot of dirt with a potted plant.
Laka explained to Shana that in order to reach her true power, she needed to focus her ki and channel it through these objects. If the objects began to change, this would be a sign that she had unlocked her true power.
Shana did as she was told, focusing her ki and channeling it through the objects. She watched in amazement as the ice cube began to melt, the fire in the glass container began to grow, the water in the glass began to boil, the lightbulb began to glow, and the plant in the pot began to grow.
As Laka watched the phenomenon, he explained that her power is being an elemental, and before she could use it, he grabbed the plant and said she needed to focus on nature and be connected to it. Even if she mastered this, she would be ready to unlock her full potential. He also added that, even if she mastered the basics earlier, she needs to work twice as fast.
Before he left, Laka asked her how she knew boxing and she replied that she doesn't know, she just copied it from watching TV, boxers like Mike Tyson, Muhammad Ali and any other good boxers. Laka was surprised to hear this, he realized that Shana had the ability to copy everything she sees and her stance and punches were relative to a champion heavyweight boxer.
He said that next week he would personally teach her martial arts, but first, she needed to train her basics and her plant element. Laka was excited to see what the future holds for Shana, knowing that with her unique abilities, she would become an unstoppable force.
Part 2
Shana woke up early in the morning, ready to prepare for school. As she gathered her things, she noticed that someone had already prepared a meal. She walked into the kitchen and saw Laka cooking breakfast. Her mother was also awake, sitting at the table and enjoying the aroma of the food Laka was preparing.
As they sat down to eat, her mother shared some good news: her doctor had said that her condition was improving and she would be able to work and help with the household expenses. Laka, who had been paying all of the bills, reassured her that it was fine and he would continue to pay the bills even if she started working.
Finally, Laka finished cooking and placed the food on the table. They all sat down to enjoy the meal together, and as they ate, they chatted and caught up on their days. It was a peaceful and happy morning for the family, and they were grateful for Laka's presence in their lives.
As Laka, Shana, and her mother chatted, Shana showed her mother the newfound strength she had acquired by lifting the stone weight that her father had left for them. This was his last gift before he left the family. Her mother praised her and wondered how Shana had become so strong. Shana explained that Laka, her new adopted brother, had taught her how to utilize her strength.
Their mother also noticed that Shana was eating more than usual, and Laka explained that it was necessary for her training. The mother reminded them that they needed to get ready for school, and they both agreed. As they prepared to leave, their mother went to clean the house but found that Laka had already cleaned it and folded the laundry.
The school was a kilometer away from their house, and Laka suggested that it would be good training for Shana. He told her to try and catch him, and as soon as Laka started running, he reached a speed of Mach 1000, and Shana tried to reach for his arm but couldn't. They both arrived at school early and were the first ones in class. Laka had helped Shana improve not only her physical strength but also her speed and agility, making her a formidable force to be reckoned with.
As the class began, the teacher announced the top 1–3 students for the semester. She mentioned that the top 2 might surprise them, and as she announced the top 3, Shana's name was called, and she stood up to receive her bronze medal, certificate, and scholarship. The class was in awe, as they had not expected Shana to be among the top students.
The teacher then announced the top 2, and Laka's name was called. He stood up to receive his silver medal, scholarship, and 100 dollars' worth of Japanese yen. The class was amazed that Laka and Shana had surpassed the previous top 2 students this semester. The previous top 2 students are now ranked as the top 4. Finally, the teacher called for Sasaki Toshiro to stand up and take his gold trophy, certificate, and 200 dollars' worth of Japanese yen. Laka and Shana had proven themselves to be not just physically strong but also academically gifted, and it was clear that they were on a path to success.
As Shana and her brother, Laka, finished school, they decided to head to the forest to begin their training. Laka presented Shana with her new training outfit, and she excitedly put it on and hid in the trees to try it out. Her brother complimented the outfit, telling her that he had found it at the mall and that it was the perfect size for her to train comfortably. He also brought her favorite snack to enjoy as they trained.
The new training weights Laka gave her weighed 20 tons each, and Shana struggled to lift them at first, as the total weight of 200 tons was heavy for her to bear. Laka instructed her to not use her ki while training, as it would not only improve her strength and endurance but also her speed and agility, and her combat speed.
As Shana watched her brother train, she was amazed at his strength and skill. Laka ran off and returned with something that left Shana in shock. He was lifting an enormous boulder that Shana estimated to be at least 10 stories high and covering 6000 square meters of land. It was clear that the boulder weighed at least 40,000 tons, and Laka lifted it with ease. He dropped it on the ground and looked at Shana, explaining that she had increased her strength from carrying one ton to 40,000 tons in just one day. Shana was amazed and knew that her training with Laka was going to be intense, but she was determined to become a powerful warrior.
As Shana continued to train with her brother, Laka, she found that her body was adapting to the 200-ton weights he had given her. She was able to run at massively hypersonic speeds with ease, and her physical strength had improved dramatically.
One day, Laka instructed Shana to lift the giant boulder he had brought with him. She was hesitant, thinking it was impossible, but her brother assured her that she could do it with her physical strength alone, and not to use her ki unless he said so.
Shana tried lifting the boulder with her two arms, struggling at first, but eventually managed to stand holding it. Laka told her to hold the position for 30 minutes. Shana thought her body would break if she didn't stop, but Laka explained that her new regenerative abilities were making her body stronger, and this "death training" was actually helping her lift more.
As she stood holding the boulder, Shana began to lift it using her own physical strength. She threw the boulder into the sky, 15 feet in the air, and it landed back in her hands. To her surprise, the boulder was not heavy anymore, and she lifted it like a feather. Laka's training had worked, and he said it was enough, and there was no point in lifting it further.
He then instructed her to fight him with all she had, while wearing her weights. Shana took a boxing stance and launched a fast barrage of jabs, but Laka was dodging them with ease. However, with her new training, Shana was able to land a few punches on Laka while he held back. The two of them exchanged punches, their fists clashed, and the ground shook from the force of their training. Shana had become a powerful warrior, and her training with her brother had made her stronger than she ever thought possible.
Shana had become a formidable warrior. Laka instructed her to remove the weights and release all of her ki at once. As she did, the force was so powerful that it caused the trees in the forest to nearly blow away and created rapid winds. Laka then instructed her to control it and infuse it into her physical body.
Shana focused her right hand and calculated that her fist was equal to 1 million tons. She punched Laka in the face, but he took it with ease and without flinching. He then launched his own fist at her, holding back, and sent her flying 200 feet in the air. Shana adapted her body and as soon as she fell, she focused all of her strength and ki into her right hand, making it 100x stronger. Her body started to rip apart from the effort, but her self-healing abilities quickly mended her injuries.
As Laka watched her, he saw her ki like she was falling like a meteor in the sky, with her speed alone, she launched herself all she got and Laka thinking that it was enough launched his own fist and said "stage 101 5.2 percent" and Shana used her fist and her fist was strong as 100,000 kilotons of force. Both Laka and Shana clashed their fist, while Shana had the upper hand but Laka was holding on his own perfectly. Doing so, her arm exploded into pieces, but Shana's pain tolerance had also grown.
As they clashed, Shana giving her all and Laka counteracting it, they left a giant city-level size crater on the ground. Laka said it was time to eat and the training was over. Shana had become a powerful warrior, and her training with her brother had taken her to new heights.
Shana couldn't believe the strength she had gained from her training with her brother, Laka. Her arm, which had exploded into pieces, had begun healing itself and she had grown even stronger than before. After their final training session, they sat down to eat a meal that Laka had prepared for them.
As they ate and rested their stomachs, Shana couldn't help but ask Laka about the mysterious stage 101 5.2 percent that he had mentioned during their training.
Laka explained that he had a total of 100 stages of power and that stage 0 was his strongest. He had created a new stage 101 specifically for training Shana so that he wouldn't accidentally destroy the entire earth while training her. Shana was surprised and asked what it was like to be at stage 100 of his power. Laka revealed that his strength was so great that the concepts of space, time, and even higher dimensions and fate and causality itself would not bind him.
Shana couldn't help but ask if there were other beings like her brother, to which Laka responded that there were indeed other beings like him, but they did not exist in her universe. As they finished their training and prepared to leave, Laka grabbed a seedling from a pot and instructed Shana to infuse it with her ki. She did as she was told and the tree grew to become the biggest sakura tree in history.
Shana was amazed at her own strength and decided to test her new powers by fixing the entire forest that they had trained in. She filled it with every tree and patched up the dirt, leaving the forest looking as good as new. Laka was proud of his sister and commended her for growing so efficiently. Shana declared that she had mastered her powers and could now control and make plants using her ki and her regenerative abilities. Her body had grown exponentially in just two days, something that would take a normal person a thousand years to achieve.
As the sun set and it was time to go home, they heard something behind the trees and saw a big figure charging at them at full speed, and Shana in her mind said that thing was fast, reaching faster than Mach 1500, and Shana intercepted it with her brother noticing it at full force, and the thing said its name, and Laka knows him from the spot, and the thing's name is "I am the youngest son of the Greek god of strength, Heracles."
Deicoon wants to prove himself as the strongest among his siblings by fighting Laka, who is considered one of the most dangerous men in the outer realms and a potential threat to the gods of creation. Shana, who has been trained by Deicoon, is initially hesitant to fight Laka as she fears for her safety. However, her brother assures her that this is the purpose of her training and that Laka will save her if she loses. Laka agrees to fight Deicoon but only if he can defeat Shana first. To make the fight fair, Laka creates an indestructible stage for them to fight on and uses only stage 100 6.8% of his power.
As the stage was set by Laka the two opponents fought each other with pure physical strength as they were equal for the the moment but Deicoon was just warming up she grabbed laka by the hand and threw her in the air higher than Laka ever threw her as high as 1 kilometer in the air soaring true the sky and as she thought of even moving Deicoon was there with his slim arms and grabs Shana face to the ground and splattered it Deicoon thinking it was over but looks at Laka unfazed and looks at his opponent Shana regenerates her head fast and uses her leg for a leg choke choking the demigod in the in in the neck but Deicoon tries to shake her off and soon he realizes that her opponent was not mortal and took it seriously and jumps 2 kilometers in the air but Shana anticipated it in her mind and lets go his body and starts using all of physical strength and all of her ki infused inside the punch as Deicoon intercepts using a name technique of his own:
{Gaia Break}
As the fight continues, Deicoon uses his technique "Gaia Break" to break Shana's hand, causing her to feel pain. However, she quickly regenerates her hand and continues to fight back. Shana uses her mind to control the nearby trees to slow her fall and counterattacks Deicoon's assault. The two fighters exchange barrages of punches, but Shana begins to focus on using her ki. She concentrates her eyes, using them to sense incoming attacks and block them with her arms. Despite her arm being destroyed, it regenerates and becomes stronger, able to tank and handle Deicoon's punches more easily. However, Deicoon continues to use his technique "Gaia Break" in an attempt to defeat Shana.
But Shana looks at Laka her brother and Laka just nods with agreement and Shana started thinking if she can control plants with her mind she can make her own technique infudsing it with ki and she thinks and thinks and thinkss...…..she got she puts her hand in the ground sommunoning something and she said her first technique:
{Chloro cage}
The vine forms an indestructible cage protecting her from Deicoon's "Gaia Break" technique. As a result, both fighters are pushed back and launched deep into the forest, breaking every tree in their path. As they come back to the stage, Shana heals herself and becomes stronger by infusing her punch with nearby plants and her own ki and physical strength. Deicoon continues to use his "Gaia Break" technique, but both fighters are fatigued and their fists almost collide. Laka intervenes and stops their powerful fists with his finger, but both Shana and Deicoon are knocked out due to their low stamina. Laka drags them to his secret apartment for the night.
Shana and Deicoon wake up in an apartment together, with Shana on the couch and Deicoon on the floor. As they look at each other, Shana realizes that the Deicoon she fought before was muscular and tall, while the one she sees now is slim and around her height. Deicoon asks Shana to keep this a secret, as he's afraid of being laughed at. He explains that the form she fought before is his "proud form," which is his strongest form, while the one she sees now is his normal form. Shana, understanding the situation, asks Deicoon why he wants to take down Laka.
Deicoon explains that if he were to capture Laka, he would be praised by his father, Heracles, who has many wives and children, all of whom are special except for him. He goes on to explain that there are many children of Heracles, all of whom have many achievements, but his older brother outshines them all and is Heracles' favorite son, so he forgets about Deicoon. So, Deicoon ran away from home and descended from Olympus to the outer realms, taking a wanted poster from the afterlife that says Laka is one of the most powerful people in the outer realm, and that just by existing, he can crumble creations. Deicoon hopes that if he captures Laka and shows him to his father, he can also become his favorite.
But as soon as he descended from the mortal plane, humans caught him and experimented on him, taking his godly blood and copying most of his abilities. In order to escape, Deicoon used his proud form, since descending from lower dimensions can lower one's power or restrict it like one. However, when his proud form wanted to fight Laka, Shana stood in his way.
Shana said sorry to Deicoon but could not take his brother because right now Laka helped her and her mother, by repaying him by wishing that Laka had a sister and mother other than his own . But Deicoon said he can't just leave right now anyway seeing Shana fight is pride from pretty easily Deicoon was suprised that Shana isn't a ordinary mortal. So Shana Asked Deicoon on what his brother did to upset the gods Deicoon said he doesn't know he just knows that he was one of the most powerful people in creation, which even scared most of them . As they talked and chatted, Laka appeared with food and drinks and offered them food and water when Deicoon tasted his cooking. It was delicious, and his taste buds were at a loss for how delicious it was. Laka said thank you. Then Laka explained to both of them why they are not in our house because I got a text that Shin.co was following us from the house so he used his old apartment as a secret means to avoid those guys, and Laka said they were still looking for them . Laka and Shana got texts that Shin.co was looking for them, so they still needed to stay here for a while until the commotion stopped.
Part 3
They were in this old apartment of Laka where three of them were hiding from the company Shin.co who was looking for Deicoon to experiment on him. After waiting for some time, Shana asked Laka about why he is considered a dangerous man in the outer planes. Laka explained that he has 100 stages of power and if he were to use even .1 percent of his stage 100 power, he could threaten the very existence of creation. So, he made stage 101 to restrict his power and prevent the whole creation from crumbling to pieces. Deicoon then asked Laka why he doesn't use avatars to descend on the mortal plane of existence and Laka said he wants to experience the world truly and authentically, and wants to live like a mortal himself.
However, Laka went on to say that many eons ago, before this universe, there were other universes that died. Laka lived through 3 universes, including this one, and one theory is that this isn't the first universe, but the 23,000th one. Laka lived through two universes until they died, but he has seen through the passing of many millions, billions, and trillions of years until a new big bang emerges. He wants to live like a mortal, not as a god. Shana was surprised and said that Laka might be older than 2 universes and Laka being teased by Shana that he is older than her grandmother. Laka said he left his duties as a god because he felt his role in creation was small and insignificant in comparison to the other gods, so he grew bored and saw mortals having a life down there, just being themselves, he wants to get out and go to the mortal plane.
Shana asked why he didn't tell her and her mother and Laka said you and her mother might never look at him the same way again, and Shana pieced it together that that is why Laka was such an experienced and honed fighter because he had lived through many years. While speaking, Deicoon intervenes and said that Laka made a good decision in his choice but failed to recognize it. Since the gods themselves were on the top status, their godhood only they bragged for.
As they continued to talk, Deicoon brought up the point that Laka's decision to leave his godhood behind was not well received by his fellow gods. They saw it as a betrayal and an insult to their status as gods. Laka acknowledged this and said that he knew that he would be shunned by the other gods, but he didn't care. He said that he was happy with his decision and that he wouldn't change it for anything.
Shana, who was still processing all of this information, asked Laka if he would ever go back to being a god. Laka thought for a moment and said that while he couldn't say for sure, he highly doubted it. He said that he had found a new purpose in life as a mortal and that he was content with living as one.
Deicoon, who had been listening to their conversation, said that he admired Laka's courage and determination. He said that he wished he could be as confident in his own decisions. Laka reassured him and said that everyone has their own path to follow and that it's important to find what makes you happy and fulfilled.
As they finished their conversation, Laka promised to protect them from Shin.co and that he would help them find a new place to stay until the situation with Shin.co blew over.
Shana couldn't help but feel a sense of awe and wonder as Laka spoke about his past and the universes he had lived through. She couldn't even begin to fathom the amount of knowledge and experience Laka possessed, and the thought of him being older than 2 universes was mind-boggling. As Laka spoke, Deicoon listened intently, nodding in agreement with Laka's decision to leave his duties as a god and experience the world as a mortal.
He added that Laka's choice was a brave one, as it meant giving up the godhood status and privileges that came with it. However, he also acknowledged that Laka had failed to recognize the significance of his decision, as the other gods were consumed with their own status and power. Deicoon's words reminded Shana of the danger they were in, with Shin.co still hunting for Deicoon.
She knew they had to be careful and not let their guard down. As they sat in silence, contemplating their next move, Laka's words echoed in Shana's mind, "I want to experience the world truly and authentically, and want to live like a mortal myself." She couldn't help but wonder what other secrets and stories Laka had yet to share.
Just as they were deep in conversation, they heard a knock on the door. Laka cautiously checked it out, and to his surprise, he saw men in military uniform outside. As he looked more closely, he saw that there were more people outside dressed in uniform, surrounding his apartment. One of the men spoke, saying that their mother had revealed their location, and Laka and Shana couldn't help but wonder if their mother was worried about them.
The man went on to say that if they didn't come with them, they would reveal everything they did in the forest. If news were to spread, it would end with them being treated as monsters. If they resisted, they would be taken by force and their CEO would examine them. After that, they would be allowed to go back to their normal lives.
Deicoon, who had been listening intently, spoke up, warning Laka and Shana not to trust them. He told them about how much Shin.co had experimented on him, draining everything from his body. Despite Deicoon's warning, Laka insisted that they come with them, or else Shin.co would destroy his and Shana's reputation.
But Deicoon didn't listen to him. He transformed into his proud form and tried to rush Laka, but as he did, Laka disappeared and reappeared behind him, karate-chopping his neck and knocking him out gently. Deicoon lay unconscious on the floor, reverting back to his normal form.
Shana protested to her brother, asking him why he had done that, but she was silenced by the commanding presence in Laka's eyes. The people of Shin.co then cuffed both Shana and Laka and lifted Deicoon's unconscious body, sending him off to Shin.co.
As they were taken away, Laka couldn't help but regret not listening to Deicoon's warning.
As they were being transported to Shin.co., Shana couldn't help but feel a sense of dread wash over her. She turned to her brother, Laka, and asked him what was going on. Why had he knocked out Deicoon and allowed them to be captured by this company? Laka simply looked at her with a calm expression and said that he personally knew the CEO and that maybe they could talk and come to an agreement to meet their demands.
Shana couldn't believe what she was hearing. Was her brother really going to just give in to the demands of this company? She turned her head to look out the car window and saw a massive gate that was heavily guarded. They went inside the gate and saw the company building looming in front of them. The cars drove inside the tunnel, and finally, Deicoon woke up. He was scared and panicked, saying that he didn't want to go back there. Shana tried to calm him down, telling him that they were all in this together and that they would figure a way out.
As they were led out of the car, Shana and Deicoon were separated from Laka. Shana was led to a small room, and Deicoon was taken to a different area. Shana couldn't help but feel a sense of hopelessness wash over her. She didn't know what was going to happen to them or what kind of experiments they would be subjected to.
Laka, on the other hand, was taken to the CEO's testing lookout. He was made to sit down, and the CEO, Shin Takehashi, greeted him with a smile and said, "Long time no see, best friend."
Laka stood beside the CEO of Shin Takehashi as he explained his plan to them. "I have things to do before you are let go," he said. Laka agreed to the terms, but made a stipulation of his own. "Shino must not harm Shana and Deicoon. If they want to hurt someone, they should hurt me instead," Laka said. Shino laughed and replied, "You're still like that, even after all these years of being friends." He agreed to the terms, but added, "I will only accept it if they manage to defeat our newest creation."
Before the battle began, Shino turned to Laka and said, "Thank you for taking care of my sister. I finally saw her at her cafe." Laka replied, "It was my gift to you, to make up for my mistake." But Shino was still angry with Laka. "You let our other best friend get killed by a demon that you failed to kill. I mourned my revenge for you," Shino said, before hitting Laka in the face.
Shana and Deicoon were let go and they saw two figures running towards them at full speed.
Shino explained, "I've improved my creations' speed. They now surpass the speed of light by ten thousand times." Both Shana and Deicoon were shocked to see that the figures were their own doppelgangers, but in an android-like state. Deicoon transformed himself into his proud form and attacked his doppelganger with full force, but the android version of Deicoon was able to tank the punches without flinching. He then punched Deicoon into the air, launching him into space. The android version of Deicoon then smashed him back to Earth at a speed faster than light
.
As the dust settled, Laka looked on in horror at the destruction caused by the battle. He knew that he had to make amends for his past mistakes, and hoped that Shino would one day find it in his heart to forgive him.
The fight between Shana and the android version of herself was intense. As they clashed, Shana was getting stronger with each injury but healing herself and becoming stronger than before. However, it seemed as though the android was adapting to her and copying her every move. Shana then tried to use a boxing stance, but soon realized that the android Shana knew every martial art in the world. Shino, the creator of the android, had scanned every modern and ancient martial art and combined them into one formidable martial art that increased durability and future sight, as well as negating durability and attacking the body on the inside, destroying the enemy both soul and atoms itself.
Shana, on the other hand, was different. She could not only heal with cells, but she could also regenerate her own subatomic structure, becoming stronger than ever. However, the android Shana was stronger than her, designed to be 100,000 times stronger than the individual, with a base of android power superior to their original.
Shana was smart and began to abuse her regeneration to close the gap. However, the durability of the robot was an obstacle. She needed to achieve a new technique, so she concentrated herself with ki and the energy of the earth, forming around herself like armor. The android retaliated, but Shana saw the android's weakness: it could not use her plant technique.
When the robot tried to use its charging infinite ki and flows it through its fist, Shana anticipated it and used her technique, the "Chloro Cage." She grew vines bigger than before and formed a giant cage surrounding her. The android Shana tried to punch through the cage, but the vines had spikes that could break through and contained Shana's ki. The android Shana ripped through the cage slowly, but Shana had one more trick up her sleeve.
She launched a energy ball inside the power of plants and her ki and Shana put it at the robot's chest while the robot was trying to break the cage. Then she launched it at the chest of the android, and the robot explodes, leaving the legs intact. However, unlike Shana, the robot couldn't heal.
Shana then went to Deicoon, but there was an indestructible barrier surrounding him. She was fatigued from her fight and Deicoon was still fighting his counterpart before Shana faints. She saw a glimpse of Shino and said "big brother?" before fainting. Laka said "You said she can go because she defeated it on her own." Shino replied "Yes, I said she can go."
Deicoon, lying on the ground, was being stepped on by the robot version of himself. Laka said "I'm sorry Deicoon, I can't. It's part of the deal." In his mind, Deicoon had a flashback of him and his other siblings hearing a speech from their father Heracles, who said the words "strengthbeyond strength." Proud form then spoke to him, saying "I saved you time and time again, but you see me as a different person and not yourself."
With this realization, Deicoon punched away the robot and transformed into his new base power, becoming stronger. The robot turned into its version of proud form and they fought each other. Deicoon relied on his pure strength while the robot used special martial arts that Shino had programmed into it. The robots, being superior, could not damage Deicoon in any way and he was not flinching.
The robot version of Deicoon then used martial arts to negate Deicoon's durability, attacking the cells inside of him and atoms at the subatomic level. But Deicoon was not unaffected. He thought to himself "Proud form, you showed me something different. Even though you were quick, it was nice knowing you."
Deicoon clenched his fist as his grip on his punch became stronger, as if the robot was being pulled in like a mini black hole. The density of his punch was exponentially stronger than the robot's multiplier against the original. Deicoon grabbed the robot and jumped through space, flying it to a nearest dwarf star away from the solar system. The robot was destroyed as it could not withstand the speed and force of the impact.
Deicoon then attempted to fly back and punch Shino, but he was energy beamed back to Earth within an instant and was trapped inside the same cage as Shana. The battle was over and the victors stood victorious, but not without sacrifices. Deicoon had lost a part of himself, but had gained a newfound understanding of who he truly was.
Laka stood up, still handcuffed, and plead with Shino to leave them alone. But Shino was not finished yet. With a fierce and determined look in his eyes, he flew towards Laka and dragged him out of the window, breaking it in the process. Shino took Laka to the experimental lab where Deicoon was trapped in an energy cage, watching in horror as Shino's anger and hatred consumed him.
"You know how many years I've prepared for this," Shino snarled. "I have finally avenged our best friend, Rin Takanashi. It was because of your incompetence that she died. Your own selfish actions caused her death."
Laka tried to defend himself, saying he couldn't have done anything to save her, but Shino would not hear it. "Why not, Laka? Why not? Why didn't you use your powers to save her?" he shouted, his voice so powerful that the entire company building shook and the earth trembled beneath their feet.
With his new mechanical arms, Shino beat Laka to a pulp, punching him in every part of his body. Laka did not fight back, knowing that Shino was right and that Rin was the purest woman in the world. He loved her and would do anything to make it right.
"Please, Shino," Laka begged. "Beat me all you want, but don't hurt my sister and Deicoon."
Shino sneered. "That was the deal, but they will stay here. And now that everything is done, they will think differently about you."
As Laka lay there, bruised and beaten, he could only think about how he had let his best friend and the woman he loved down. He knew that he could never make it right, but he would spend the rest of his life trying to make amends for his mistakes.
Shana woke up to find Deiccon in a new form trying to wake her up. As she looked outside, she saw in horror as her brother Shino was brutally beating Laka. "Why won't you fight back? You could have easily killed me. Why don't you do it?" Shino taunted Laka. "Oh stop being like that. You wanted to be mortal, a so-called god becoming mortal. How was the experience of mortal life with consequences?" But Laka didn't answer, he said nothing knowing it was true.
Shana pleaded with Shino to stop hurting her brother Laka. "Big brother, please put him down. Laka has nothing but the best intentions and he has brought nothing but good into my life. Without him, my worldview would have remained broken. You left us, me and mother, even if father left us, you should not have done the same. And yet, you have done nothing while Laka has done so much. Laka deserves to be called brother," she said while banging on the energy shield as loudly as she could.
Shino sneered at her. "Brother huh? Well then, let me tell you what makes him the worst man ever.".
Shino puts Laka down on the floor and grabs a nearby object, using it to create a chair out of his new mechanical arm. He then proceeds to tell his side of the story. "Many decades ago, Laka and I were classmates in the same high school. We were best friends, we talked to each other, cared for each other, and spent most of our time together, like brothers. However, one day a new girl named Rin Takanashi joined our school.
She was extremely shy and quickly became the target of school bullies. We witnessed the horrific ways in which she was bullied, and Laka was the one who stepped in to protect her. One day, the bullies took things too far by tying Rin up inside a bag and throwing her off a cliff. We both knew we had to do something to save her, so we recorded the bullies and what they were doing. As soon as they threw Rin off the cliff, we both jumped to attempt to save her, but the bullies laughed, thinking they would get away with it. However, they didn't know that the police soon caught up with them and they were arrested.
We both fell while trying to save Rin, but Laka was able to fly and save her, untying her and saying they were going to be friends. Rin was happy and grateful, and that was the day that I fell in love with her. We all became friends and would go out together, helping each other from time to time. Laka was comfortable with our friendship and decided to show his powers to only me and Rin, who we promised to keep it a secret from anyone else.
As Laka explained his backstory, we found out that the world was filled with supernatural beings that could kill a human. As a technological maniac, I built my first version of this mechanical arm to defend against the supernatural. However, we didn't tell Rin most of the time where we were going, as we exterminated every supernatural evil from Japan. We were an extraordinary trio of friends in our whole school. But the more time we spent together, the more I fell in love with Rin. I eventually told Laka that I had feelings for her, but I was too shy to tell her myself.
Laka agreed to be my wingman to help me confess my feelings to her, and soon enough, Rin and I started dating. It was a successful relationship, but one day, as I saw Rin and Laka talking and sharing a kiss, a beast suddenly appeared and attacked us.
Rin was hit first with its sharp claws, puncturing her and almost killing her. We were able to defeat the monster, but it was too late for Rin. She held her last breath and said "I loved both of you, you were the best thing that ever happened to my life." I was furious with Laka for just standing there and doing nothing to save her before the monster got to her. At her funeral, we said our goodbyes and left, never speaking to each other again. I swore to avenge Rin's death and get my revenge."
As he finished his story, Shino picked up Laka to deliver the final blow. But as he did, Shana burst into tears, begging him not to kill her newly adopted brother. Shino saw the pain on her face and remembered Rin's soft and happy face. He thought about the bond that he and Laka had shared and the sacrifices they had made for each other. He couldn't bring himself to kill Laka, not now, not after everything they had been through together. So, he put Laka down and let him go. His employees were shocked and confused, but they quickly gathered their things and left the property.
As they were leaving, one of Shino's employees approached him and asked if the data they had collected was enough. Shino replied that it was more than enough, and that with the valuable data they had accrued and the many samples of DNA they had collected, they would soon be able to surpass the gods that currently ruled over humanity. He explained that it would not be easy, but that they had to prepare more and turn the biggest weapon of humanity against the gods. They needed to be ready to take their place as the new rulers of the world.
Part 4
Laka, Deicoon, and Shana walked home, beaten but Laka had regenerated his entire body. Shana was still processing the revelation that her older brother, Shino, was alive and the founder of the company Shin.co. She was also angry with Laka for not telling her sooner. They left Deicoon outside of the house to explain to Shana's mother what had happened to them. Shana's mother was happy that her family was safe but was shocked to learn that Shino was alive. Shino had visited her house when searching for Shana and had finally revealed her location to them. Shana's mother gave her a big hug, including Laka, but Shana said that she wanted to go to her room and cry before going to sleep without talking to Laka.
Laka told his mother that they had a guest and asked if Deicoon could stay for the night. His mother agreed and gave Deicoon some clothes and lunch. They were stuck in the lab for two days, so she was happy that all her children were home. But Laka went to Shana's room to talk to her. Shana was not ready to talk yet but Laka sat on her bed and told her everything about himself and his side of the story of Rin Takanashi. He reassured her that Shino was not a bad person and that he only worked on advancing technology and did not experiment on innocent people. Laka also promised Shana that he would tell her sooner if they were given the time. He then left her room and the day was done.
As the days passed, Shana began to understand and forgive Laka for not telling her sooner. She even started to appreciate the work that her brother Shino was doing at Shin.co. Laka and Shana grew closer as they spent more time together, and Deicoon became a close friend to both of them. They continued to face new challenges and adventures together, but they were now a stronger team because of their shared experiences.
