Chapter 60 - Fight A Mutant

In the heart of a vast, coliseum-like arena, the stage was set for a battle that would transcend the limits of mortal capabilities. The air was thick with anticipation as the crowd eagerly awaited the clash between two extraordinary beings. On one side stood Ethan, a mutant with the power to control gravity. On the other side stood Miller, a seemingly human figure with enhanced strength, speed, hearing, and reflexes.

The arena was bathed in the glow of bright spotlights, casting long shadows across the bloodstained sand below. The audience roared with excitement, their voices echoing off the towering stone walls. Both combatants knew that victory in this arena would not come easily, and the battle that was about to unfold would push their limits beyond imagination.

Ethan, his eyes shimmering with an otherworldly intensity, extended his hands towards the ground. The very fabric of reality seemed to respond to his will as the force of gravity bent and twisted at his command. A swirling vortex of energy formed around him, causing the surrounding objects to tremble and quiver. The Anti-Meta Human travellers soldiers who were the spectators held their breath, mesmerized by the display of his power.

Across from Ethan, Miller's eyes narrowed as he assessed his opponent. Although he appeared human, his muscles rippled with unnatural strength, his every movement exuding an air of lethal precision. His quick reflexes were primed for battle, his senses honed to a razor-sharp edge.

Miller could feel that his muscles were stronger since he became a Throsk'Bok. He could feel his reflexes sharpen. Miller admitted that it was better to be a Throsk'Bok than a human.

Without warning, Ethan unleashed a gravitational wave, hurling debris and shards of rock towards Miller with devastating force. Miller's enhanced reflexes kicked into overdrive as he evaded the projectiles with a blur of speed. He moved with such agility that he seemed to dance through the chaos, barely touched by the onslaught. Miller's agility helped him a lot in dodging the attack.

Miller retaliated, launching himself at Ethan in a lightning-fast charge. His fist lashed out with the power of a sledgehammer, aiming for Ethan's jaw. But Ethan, his control over gravity unfaltering, manipulated the gravitational field around him. The punch, once fueled by Miller's immense strength, suddenly met resistance as the force of gravity multiplied. Miller's blow was redirected, throwing him off balance and leaving him vulnerable.

Ethan seized the opportunity, his eyes glowing with intensity. He released another surge of gravitational energy, this time targeting Miller's legs. The air around Miller grew heavy, as if the weight of the world bore down upon him. His movements slowed, his steps became labored, and his once unstoppable speed faltered.

Sensing victory within his grasp, Ethan soared into the air, defying the natural laws of gravity. He floated above Miller, his gaze fixed upon his weakened adversary. With a flick of his wrist, Ethan unleashed a gravitational torrent, striking Miller with a force that echoed through the arena. Miller felt like his entire body was heavier than it would have been. He could not even raise his head. It felt like an invisible elephant was on top of him.

Immediately Miller crushed to the floor, some green words from the system flickered on his retina:

When Miller crashed to the ground, his body wracked with pain. The spectators watched in awe as Ethan descended, his footsteps light against the sand. He approached Miller with a calm determination, his powers emanating from every pore.

Immediately the notification of Miller leveling up entering his retina, he also felt a new found strength and he could now move his body a little.

Ethan's eyes met Miller's, their gazes locking in a moment of intense connection. Miller, bruised and battered, struggled to rise. He felt the weight of defeat pressing upon him, his body aching with exhaustion. Yet, his indomitable spirit burned bright within him, refusing to succumb to defeat.

But Ethan had other plans. He reached out a hand, his fingertips crackling with energy. A gravitational field enveloped Miller, immobilizing him completely. Miller's muscles strained against the invisible force, but it was futile. He was at the mercy of Ethan's power.

Ethan's voice echoed through the arena, a mix of triumph and empathy. "You fought valiantly, Miller. But in this realm of gravity, I am the undisputed master." With those words, Ethan clenched his fist, intensifying the gravitational field around Miller.

Miller gasped for air, his strength fading with each passing moment. He had given his all, pushed himself beyond his limits, but it was not enough.

As the crowd watched in stunned silence, Miller's body slumped to the ground, but he felt a new found strength because of Leveling up. Ethan stood over him, the embodiment of triumph and dominance. The battle was won, the outcome clear. Ethan had harnessed the very force that bound the universe and emerged victorious.

The arena erupted in thunderous applause, a mix of awe and respect resonating through the air. Ethan's power had left an indelible mark on the minds of those who witnessed the battle. Miller, has not been deemed defeated, his body was still shaking.

And with this new found strength from leveling up, Miller stood up although still shaking because of the gravity. Ethan increased the gravity of Miller's body, but Miller had gotten stronger than he was and Ethan had no idea that Miller's strength had increased.

The entire arena Became quiet as they saw Miller standing up. They had never heard of any human who was able to withstand their own gravity.

With this new found strength, Miller clenched his fist very hard. Immediately Ethan noticed this, he increased his body density to make his body very hard to hit. His body density was now almost the density of two elephants.

"Aargh" Miller shouted as he sent a punch to Ethan's stomach.

BANG!

The punch sound was heard very loudly through out the entire arena as Ethan could be seen flying backwards BECAUSE of the punch to the other end of the arena.

"It's time for me to fight" Miller said with a smile.
