Chapter 26: Extreme Power and Durability
---
The scene begins in the secluded training ground, where the group of heroes stands before Anos, prepared for the second phase of their intense training. This phase would focus on Extreme Raw Power and Extreme Durability. The air around them is thick with anticipation, as Anos takes his place at the center, a determined expression on his face.
---
Anos (his voice resonating with authority):
"This is where you will learn to test the very limits of your body and soul. You've already unlocked infinite energy reserves. Now, you will learn to endure the most devastating attacks and harness raw power beyond what you can currently fathom."
---
The group, now fully aware of the grueling challenge ahead, exchanges determined glances.
---
Draco (his wings unfurling, the flames around him intensifying):
"I'm ready for this. I've faced worse in my past... let's see how far we can push ourselves."
---
Him (cracking his knuckles, his aura flaring with energy):
"Bring it on. I've never backed down from a fight, and this will be no different."
---
Himothy (smiling confidently, his sword glowing with latent power):
"This will be the test of endurance. I've survived worse, but this... this will be something else."
---
MaxedInfinite (grinning, his scythe glowing with dark energy):
"I've been waiting for this. To see what it truly means to be unstoppable."
---
Anos raises his hand, and the ground begins to tremble. Massive pillars of energy shoot up from the earth, creating a surreal, battlefield-like atmosphere. He then brings his hands together, and a massive crack of power reverberates throughout the area.
---
Anos (his voice filled with authority):
"This is your first trial. You will face Raw Power. I will unleash the most destructive forces imaginable upon you. The goal is simple: Survive. And show me how much your bodies can endure."
---
The ground shakes violently, and within moments, Anos conjures a barrage of attacks. Fiery meteors rain from the sky, massive energy waves ripple across the field, and shockwaves blast through the area as if the very fabric of space and time is bending under the pressure. The attacks come in an endless stream, each one more devastating than the last.
---
Draco (his wings flaring as he steps forward, raising his sword of fire):
"Let's go!"
He charges through the oncoming meteors, his body enveloped in an aura of flames, dodging and slashing at incoming projectiles with terrifying precision. His strength and durability are tested as each strike from the energy waves hits him, but his regenerative abilities keep him fighting.
---
Him (his body glowing with immense power, his muscles tightening):
"Come at me!"
He charges through the storm of attacks, using his Hakai to obliterate everything in his path. Each hit from the meteors sends shockwaves through his body, but his high durability allows him to stand tall, shrugging off the hits and continuing to press forward with unyielding force.
---
Himothy (his eyes burning with intensity, his sword ready):
"This will be a piece of cake!"
He swings his sword, The Sword of War, creating shockwaves that slice through the meteors. His body ripples with energy, deflecting most of the incoming attacks with his enhanced physical prowess and resistance to damage. But even his strength is tested as the barrage continues.
---
MaxedInfinite (his scythe cutting through the air with incredible precision):
"Time to harvest some power."
He conjures illusions to confuse the incoming attacks, while using his ethereal veil to phase through the strikes that he cannot block. The barrage keeps coming, but his tactical genius and ability to manipulate energy allow him to adapt and overcome each challenge.
---
The sheer intensity of the trial pushes each of them to their limits, but none of them falter. They take each blow head-on, each moment sharpening their resilience. The meteors continue to fall, the energy waves surge across the field, and Anos watches silently, his expression one of approval.
---
Anos (his voice cutting through the chaos):
"Impressive. But this is only the beginning. Now you will face Extreme Durability. Prepare yourselves."
---
Without warning, Anos raises his hands, and the ground beneath them collapses. A massive fissure opens up, and from within, an immense beast, a creature of pure destructive energy, emerges. Its eyes glow with an unnatural fire, and the ground trembles beneath its weight as it lets out a bone-chilling roar.
---
Anos (his tone serious):
"This beast represents your Extreme Durability test. It will attack with everything it has, and you must withstand it. If you can survive its onslaught, you will have passed the test."
---
The beast charges, unleashing a devastating beam of energy aimed directly at the group. Each of the heroes braces for impact, knowing they must endure.
---
Draco (roaring, his flames surging as his Infernal Cataclysm ability ignites):
"I won't fall!"
He throws up a force field, absorbing the energy and redirecting it back at the creature. His flames engulf the beast, but its durability tests his endurance.
---
Him (his body surrounded by his Hakai aura, his face a mask of determination):
"I'll take the hit and keep moving."
He steps into the beam, letting it wash over him. His body is nearly destroyed by the sheer force, but his rapid regeneration kicks in, and he stands tall again, ready for the next attack.
---
Himothy (his sword crackling with divine energy as he swings it at the beast):
"You're going down."
He slices through the creature's attack with his Sword of War, causing the blade to absorb some of the destruction and channel it back into the creature. His durability is tested as the beast counters, but he holds his ground.
---
MaxedInfinite (his scythe glowing with an ethereal energy):
"This is what I live for."
He summons an army of spectral soldiers to absorb some of the beast's attacks while he unleashes devastating slashes with his Soul Harvester, channeling raw power into his strikes and pushing through the pain.
---
Anos watches as each of them endures the assault, their raw power and durability on full display. The creature finally falls, its form disintegrating into pure energy. The group stands, battered but victorious.
---
Anos (his voice full of pride):
"You've all exceeded my expectations. This test has shown your raw power and durability. You are no longer limited by your previous weaknesses. You have earned the next step in your journey."
---
After the brutal training session, the group is given a well-deserved rest. Anos summons a lavish meal for everyone, and they sit together, enjoying the rare moment of peace.
---
MaxedInfinite (grinning as he digs into his food):
"We definitely earned this."
---
Himothy (chuckling, wiping sweat from his brow):
"Next time, we need a break between tests."
---
Draco (smirking, still feeling the lingering effects of the fight):
"I don't need breaks. This is what we trained for."
---
Him (nodding in agreement):
"We're stronger than ever before."
---
Anos (with a satisfied smile):
"Indeed. But the journey is far from over. You have learned much today, but there is always more to achieve. Now, it's time to say goodbye. The next phase of your training awaits."
---
After the meal, they bid Anos and his companions farewell. With renewed strength and a sense of purpose, they step through the portal that leads them to their next challenge.
---
Hajun (in the background, his voice low and ominous):
"While you train, I have already begun my conquest."
With a roar, he crushes the Chainsaw Man verse, destroying it utterly in his wake. His rampage is unstoppable as he devours the very fabric of reality itself.
---
Epilogue:
Voiceover: "The group has completed the Extreme Raw Power and Extreme Durability training, unlocking their true potential. As they step into the unknown, the chaos of the universe continues to unfold, and Hajun's destruction threatens to consume everything in his path. What lies ahead for the heroes is unclear, but they are stronger than ever before.
