Chapter 9: "the true peak of training"

Part 1

While Shana, Deicoon, and Shirou were fighting in space, we cut back to the white dimension that Laka had created using only a percentage of his power.

In the first layer of the white dimension, the three warriors had mastered every martial art imaginable. Shana had focused on Muay Thai, Lethwei, American kickboxing, and Dutch kickboxing. Deicoon had also mastered various martial arts, but he preferred boxing styles such as American, Mexican, Russian, and Philippine boxing. Finally, Shirou had excelled in striking martial arts, but he had also mastered grappling techniques such as BJJ, Judo, wrestling, and sumo.

In the last days, they faced fighters from various disciplines, even those with more experience, and initially lost. But after learning from their mistakes, they beat them all. Laka even made the opponents they fought 100 times stronger each time, but the warriors continued to improve.

As the fight progressed, the magical suits they wore became so heavy that their weight was immeasurable. Despite the challenge, Shana, Deicoon, and Shirou pushed through and emerged victorious.

On the last day, Laka instructed the warriors to engage in a battle royale, with each of them fighting one another in a 1v1v1 match. Before the fight, Laka asked them to show him their aura. Shana went first and powered up, causing the first layer of the dimension to shake. When it was Shirou's turn, he also powered up, causing a similar effect as Shana. However, Shana's aura was slightly stronger than Shirou's.

When it was Deicoon's turn, he powered up to the point where he didn't just shake the first layer but destroyed it completely. The dimension was infinite in size, but Deicoon was able to destroy it, and they found themselves in the second layer of the dimension. This layer was higher and infinitely larger than the first layer.

Finally, Laka gave the signal to go into their battle positions. Shana took a Muay Thai stance, Deicoon chose an unorthodox boxing stance, and Shirou adopted a Chi Straka stance, which was Laka's signature martial art style. The room fell silent for a few moments as they prepared for the upcoming battle.

Shana was caught off guard by Shirou's sudden attack, and he swiftly grabbed her and slammed her to the ground. Despite being pinned down, Shana was determined to fight back and powered up to shake Shirou off. As he stumbled back, he saw Deicoon charging towards them with incredible speed.

Shirou quickly charged his ki and enveloped it in a powerful technique that immobilized Shana and Deicoon, allowing only himself to move freely. He declared, ["GAMEZONE type: tag team fighter!"] As the others struggled to break free, Deicoon clenched his fist and focused all his ki into it, creating a gravitational force that began to suck everything towards him, including Shirou, Shana, and even Shirou's ki technique.

Deicoon shouted,[ "Gravition Punch!"] The force was so powerful that it sucked everything in its path faster than a black hole devouring light. However, Shana reacted quickly and used her ki technique, [Chloro Cage], to block the attack. Instead of a giant cage, she created an armor that protected them from the devastating force of Deicoon's attack.

Deicoon's fist transformed into another ki technique, and he clenched it again, pulling the space inside the second layer of the dimension towards him. The space was wrapped around his fist, leaving the second dimension tearing apart. Deicoon shouted, ["Gaia Break!"] and unleashed the powerful punch towards Shana and Shirou.

Shana was able to withstand the attack with her armor, but Shirou used his ChiStraka martial arts to redirect the punch back to Shana. As the punch collided with Shana's armor, the force pushed them all beyond the distance.

Laka, the observer of the battle, commented, "This was a great battle, and it's the final day. Show me your full power, raise your ki." Deicoon, Shana, and Shirou all powered up their auras to an incredible level, tearing the already fragile second layer of the dimension apart with their energy.

All of them charged at each other and clashed fists, but in terms of martial arts skill, Shirou was the better fighter due to the ChiStraka Martial Arts that Laka had taught him. As Deicoon used many fast jabs, he was able to jab 999 sextillion times in one attosecond, but Shirou was able to dodge and weave around every jab. Deicoon launched a body blow, but Shirou deflected the punch and redirected it towards Shana. Shana tried to block it, but was too late, and Deicoon was able to create a hole in her stomach. However, Shana smiled and regenerated the wound instantly. Deicoon launched the same punch again, but instead of blocking it, Shana flawlessly tanked the punch using her head, launching it back at Deicoon.

Shana tried using her martial arts, but Shirou was able to block, dodge, and weave around her moves with ease. Shana then used her shins to kick Shirou's shins with faster-than-light speed. Before Shirou could dodge it, he saw Deicoon's giant fist coming at his face. Shirou blocked the fist, but the shin kick was able to stagger him. As the fight continued for hours, they grew stronger and faster than before. Finally, they became tired and exhausted to the point that Shirou had broken every bone and muscle in his body, and Deicoon's arm had been ripped off and his skin loosed in the fight. Shana was in a worse condition than before, her bones, muscles, and organs scrambled and utterly destroyed. However, her regeneration instantly began to heal her, making her body stronger than before. Deicoon used ki to reattach his arm and heal all of his injuries, while Shirou used ki to heal his bones and muscles and finally set them right. After straining their bodies, ki, and stamina to the limit, they rested for a few minutes.

As Laka teleported in, he announced that they were almost ready, but Shana pleaded with her brother that her body could barely move. Shirou and Deicoon agreed, but with a flick of his finger, Laka was able to instantly heal and restore their lost stamina. Laka then stepped back and said, "Your bodies have evolved in the last 2,799 years, and have become infinitely stronger than before. But all of this training would be useless if it's not applied to a real threat."

With a taunting gesture, Laka challenged his students to bring it on, powering up to display his monstrous amount of ki and physical strength. Deicoon stumbled with awe, realizing that Laka was even superior to them while holding back.

Laka then commanded them to show him their full power, and they responded with a resounding "Sir, yes sir!" As they powered up, their ki increased, matching Laka's power. Deicoon took the lead, using a southpaw stance to launch barrages of jabs and feints. But Laka effortlessly blocked everything with a single finger, forcing Deicoon to switch to an orthodox style and try a strong uppercut. Laka let him hit him in the chin, tanking it with ease, while Shana attempted to hit Laka with a powerful kick to the abdomen, which he also easily tanked without moving.

Meanwhile, Shirou flew up and announced, "GAMEZONE: turn-based RPG," enveloping the area with his ki for a light-year. Deicoon and Shana were boosted by a ki-constructed potion, increasing their strength and speed by 100 times, dealing trillions of points of damage to Laka, which were displayed in red text. However, Laka's text showed that he had only taken -0.00000000000000000000000001 damage.

With desperation, Deicoon stepped back and charged his ki using his unique ki technique. Shana followed suit and focused her ki in the palm of her hand, shaping it into a tiny ball of condensed energy that expanded to encompass the entire planet. She then replicated the process one million times. Meanwhile, Shirou charged all of his ki into his fist, preparing for the final blow.

As they finished charging, Deicoon, Shana, and Shirou shouted their respective attacks: "Gaia Break," "Photo Bomb," and Shirou shouted with "HAAAAAAAAHHHHHH." Their speed was so incredible that they cracked and tore the fabric of space-time, leaving behind a trail of destruction.

Deicoon used his ki technique to focus all of his power on Laka and launched a powerful attack towards him. However, Laka stood his ground and withstood the attack with ease. Despite their best efforts, it seemed that Laka was simply too powerful to defeat.

Deicoon hit Laka in the face, putting all of his physical strength and multiplying it by his ki to deliver a powerful blow. Shana condensed all of her ki into a compressed ball and aimed for Laka's stomach, managing to penetrate his durability and attack him from the inside. Shirou coated his fist with ki and punched Laka on top of his head. The clash of their attacks created a massive shockwave that dispersed a cloud of ki energy and blurred the area.

Laka blocked Deicoon's Gaia Break with a single finger without flinching, showing his incredible strength. Although Shana's attack managed to ignore Laka's durability, it didn't account for his organs and cells being as hard as his exterior. Shirou's attack was certainly powerful, but it only made Laka's head move slightly.

Laka retaliated by punching Deicoon in the head, sending him flying. He then performed a bicycle kick on Shirou, who managed to react but was pushed in the direction where Deicoon was punched. Finally, Laka grabbed one of Shana's legs and started spinning her around. Shana used her strong kicks to try to stop Laka from spinning her around and kept hitting his abdomen.

Laka didn't respond to the attack and threw his opponent, causing her to crash into Deicoon and Shirou. In a desperate attempt, they banded together and launched a powerful energy ki blast, combining all of their ki. Meanwhile, Laka remained calm and said, "Did I overdo it again? No, I was holding back. I have thrown them an infinite distance, both figuratively and literally."

As Laka observed the battlefield, he suddenly saw a giant beam of ki energy that moved faster than light. The beam covered an infinite 3D distance in just a few plank times, and Laka raised his hand to block it. He effortlessly stopped the beam and created a dense ball of ki, which he fired back towards his opponents. The two attacks collided with such force that a shockwave of ki rippled through the third layer of the dimension. It was powerful enough to potentially destroy an infinite 3D universe.

As Shana, Deicoon, and Shirou struggled to withstand the energy blast, Shirou exclaimed, "I can't compete with this kind of power. My ki is depleting rapidly." Deicoon encouraged him, "Hold on, Shirou. We must persevere. Our 2,799 years of training will not be in vain." Shana agreed, "I concur with Deicoon. We must hold on and show my brother that our training was not for nothing."

With determination in their hearts, Shana, Deicoon, and Shirou stretched their ki even further, making it stronger with each passing moment. Each of them gave a ten million boost of power, and they repeated this process over and over again, their power multiplying exponentially. The resulting blast was bigger than the entire dimension itself, and it began to push back against the ball of condensed ki that Laka had created.

Seizing this opportunity, Shana, Deicoon, and Shirou poured all of their remaining energy into the blast, surpassing the power of their previous attacks entirely. They were truly giving it their all, their power multiplying to a higher degree with each passing moment.

As Laka observed the situation with a smile, he declared, "They are ready." With a swift motion, he destroyed the ball of ki and took on the full blast of its energy, powering up as he did so. "Even 20.5% of stage 101 can't make a dent in this ki," he proclaimed. Then, with renewed power, he uttered the words, "Stage 101, 20.6%," and finally managed to stop the beam. In fact, he overpowered it to such an extent that he was able to punch it back at the ones who had fired it.

The three attackers, meanwhile, were struggling to maintain their beam, and they soon realized that it was being reflected back at them with twice the force. Desperately, they tried to dodge it, but it was too powerful, and they sustained severe injuries as a result. Shana's regeneration was struggling to keep up with the damage, and the trio's ki was depleted. Their bodies were broken, with broken bones and strained muscles, and even their organs were damaged. Shana finally said, "It was nice seeing my two best friends together. Now my body can't keep regenerating, and we are waiting for death to claim us."

Deicoo agreed, saying, "I thank you for our good companionship, my friend Shana. Now, my demigod body will go to the afterlife." Shirou added, "I guess I won't be making it to my grandmother tonight. But I don't need to worry. My grandma is old, and she will be joining me soon." They laughed together, waiting for death to claim them.

They waited until they heard a noise. As they tilted their heads, even though it was painful, they saw their Master Laka running the infinite 3D distance with sheer speed. In just a few seconds, Laka was able to catch up to them and said, "Your training is finally complete. Your physical strength and speed have been dramatically boosted, and your ki mastery has been refined to an extent."

But as he looked at his students, Laka saw that their faces were filled with the belief that they were reaching the afterlife. "Oh, come on, don't be overdramatic now," he said with a chuckle. Laka flicked his finger and instantly healed all of their injuries, refilling their ki in the process.

As they healed, they felt their bodies and ki growing stronger than before, to the point that each of them was able to surpass the beam they had conjured earlier. They felt their strength growing, with limitless potential. Laka looked at them with satisfaction and said, "All of you are ready to go now."

Shana's face lit up with pleasure as she said, "Can we remove the weights now? As of now, I'm just trying to ignore them, but they've gotten so heavy that my physical strength can't even keep up."

Laka looked at her sternly and said, "No, you can't remove them yet. Wait until I say so."

Shana then followed, trying to lift the heavy weights. Before they left, Laka created a kitchen out of thin air and cooked them a full meal. "For here and now, you can ask me to cook anything for you. I mean, anything," he said.

Deicoon stood up and said, "Well then, give me a giant boar as big as a building, season and marinate it with a luxurious meal, and put it in a stove." Laka snapped his fingers, and a dead boar appeared, skin and organs removed. He then conjured a large tub of marinated sauce, bigger than the giant boar, filled with soy sauce, vinegar, lemon, salt, and pepper. He sliced the stomach open and added stuffing, a large duck, onions, garlic, and other ingredients, seasoning the boar with salt, pepper, and paprika before immersing it in the marinated sauce.

Laka used his powers to create a large barrier inside the marinated boar and chilled it at -100 degrees Celsius for five days to ensure that the flavor was infused throughout. He then summoned a giant stove and cooked the boar for several hours before wrapping it in aluminum foil and grilling it with maple wood for three days.

All of this was done in an instant, in an attosecond, stunning Shana, Deicoon, and Shirou.

Laka, having manipulated time, took longer than usual to prepare the boar. Finally, the cooked meat was placed on a large, flat plate, ready for Deicoon to eat. Laka asked Shana and Shirou for their food requests, and Shana asked for "rich people's food," specifically every type of meat in Korean cuisine, with high-quality Wagyu beef and the same side dishes served in Korean restaurants. Shirou requested an exotic dish with a salad.

Laka eagerly obliged and started by summoning high-quality beef and pork, including Wagyu beef, seasoning them with salt and pepper, and drying them for a few days. He then thinly sliced the meat and grilled it to perfection, placing each style of beef and pork in its respective bowl and arranging the side dishes on the side. All of this was done in an attosecond, thanks to Laka's control over time. He presented the cooked food to Shana, who was delighted.

For Shirou, Laka summoned a giant dead crocodile, skinned it, chopped it into small cubes, and paired it with pork belly and green chili pepper. He seasoned it with salt and pepper and grilled it until it was sizzling. Laka then cracked a raw egg onto the meat and mixed it together, adding a small, juicy fruit called calamansi, which is commonly used in the Philippines. Laka also gave Shirou a large amount of rice and a salad with grapes, lettuce, small tomatoes, salad dressing, and breadcrumbs for added texture.

Laka prepared all the requested dishes with great care and attention to detail, impressing Shana and Shirou with his culinary skills.

As Laka asked Shana if she knew why he had done all this, she raised her hand and replied, "To celebrate the end of our training?" Laka smiled and said, "Yes, Shana, that's right. But do you know what today's date is before we left the real world?" Shana thought for a moment before answering, "It's March 24th. Why wait?" Laka then broke into song, leading the group in a rendition of "Happy Birthday." He had baked a small cake with a shining 18-numbered candle, presenting it to Shana and wishing her a happy 18th birthday. Overwhelmed, Shana burst into tears and hugged her brother, thanking him for this wonderful day within this dimension. Shirou also joined in singing and clapping to celebrate Shana's birthday, and Deicoon, feeling confused, tapped Shirou on the shoulder and asked, "My friend Shino, what is this? What's a happy birthday?" Shirou explained, "This is a time to celebrate someone's birth and their day of age. Now, Shana is 18 years old, a year older than me." Deicoon replied, "Oh, I see. Mortal traditions fascinate me."

As they all hugged Shana, Laka summoned a table out of thin air with four seats. They sat down and prayed for their food, thanking the gods for this day and for the feast before them. As they ate, their hearts were full of joy and happiness. They shared each other's food, and Deicoon, having the most appetite of them all, ate the majority of the boar they had roasted. He gave the leftovers to his friends, and as they continued to feast, they talked and laughed about their training, excited to have completed the last part they needed.

After congratulating Shana, Laka created a portal to the real world and informed his students that he would drop them in the middle of the battlefield, but he needed to visit an old friend first. All three of Laka's students agreed, and one by one, they jumped through the portal. When Shirou was the last one left, Laka closed the portal and ran outside of his infinite 3D dimension with sheer speed alone, traversing time and space with only his physical body. He crossed the larger gap, a 4D construct between the universe and his dimension, which was larger than both combined. Nevertheless, Laka ran at breakneck speed and finally reached Shino, his enemy and friend, in zero time. Although it appeared as if Laka had teleported, he had actually run the entire distance.

Laka greeted Shino quietly, but their reunion was cut short when Sheila interrupted them. Shino blamed Sheila, causing her to leave the room in anger. Laka and Shino observed the battle on Shino's high-quality class monitor, which was capable of seeing through space up to 50 light-years away.

When all three students jumped through the portal, it closed, and they saw four figures about to shoot a beam of energy beyond faster-than-light speed. With sheer speed alone, all three students raised their hands and deflected the energy beam in different directions simultaneously, protecting the humanoid robot that was being targeted. As they looked around, they noticed that their foes had red, blue, and grey skin and some had horns, with a humanoid figure. They clashed with the threat that could destroy the entire infinite 3D universe itself. As they surveyed the battlefield, they saw that all galaxies, stars, and planets were destroyed, with only a few remaining galaxies left. They realized that the threat could destroy not only the observable universe but also the infinite 3D universe if they did not stop them in time.

Part 2

As Shana battled against the ruler of the red demon imps, Pilraa the Negater, she found herself separated from her two allies, leaving her to face Pilraa alone. Pilraa unleashed an attack faster than the generals had even shot at the robot, summoning portals that emitted an unquantifiable and infinite ki beam. Shana counted in her mind that there were at least a trillion of these small portals, but she managed to dodge, block, and deflect the blasts with impressive skill.

Pilraa tried to overwhelm Shana by moving the small portals over her, but Shana was able to dodge them at point-blank range. However, the sheer number of portals soon became too much for her, and each one fired a strong blast that hit Shana. Despite Pilraa thinking she had killed Shana easily, the demon imp general sensed that Shana was somehow still alive. Then, Pilraa heard and saw Shana create a cage made out of her ki that was green and had flowers popping out of it. It was a Chloro cage, and it had saved Shana's life.

The beauty and intricacy of the Chloro cage were breathtaking, and Pilraa couldn't help but admire it, even though it had been her target. Shana had somehow managed to create this cage out of her own ki, and it had protected her from the barrage of attacks.

As Shana fought against the ruler of the red demon imp, Pilraa the Negater, she found herself separated from her allies. Shana had to face Pilraa alone, and Pilraa launched a faster-than-light speed attack that was faster than the generals' robot's shooting ability. Pilraa summoned countless portals, and Shana estimated that there were at least one trillion of them. Each portal emitted a ki beam that was so fast it was unquantifiable and infinite. The robot, which was capable of seeing things at plank time and even a possible googleplex times the speed of light, couldn't comprehend the speed of the blasts.

Despite the robot's inability to keep up with Shana's speed, she managed to block and deflect the barrage of unquantifiable blasts while also dodging them. Pilraa moved the small portals over Shana, but Shana was able to dodge them even at point-blank range. However, as the small portals closed in on Shana, she couldn't dodge them all. Soon, she was overwhelmed by the blasts and hit multiple times. Pilraa thought she had killed Shana easily, but to her surprise, Shana was still alive. Shana had created a cage made of her ki, which was green and had flowers popping out of it. Pilraa recognized it as Shana's ki technique and said, "So that's your ki technique. I hope nothing happens to it."

As Pilraa spoke, Shana's "Chloro Cage" disappeared instantly. Pilraa explained that she was called the Negater because she could negate everything with a single glance. Indeed, Shana couldn't even summon her ki technique anymore. Pilraa made all the portals bigger than the observable universe itself, and the light was so bright that it shone across the infinite 3D universe. Pilraa fired all her portals at Shana in every omnidirectional direction, and Shana couldn't escape. She was doomed to be hit by a stronger and even faster blast.

Just when hope seemed lost, Shana managed to outrun the portal blast that Pilraa created and was able to use her ki technique. Shana blew Pilraa into pieces, erasing every cell of her subatomic structure. Only Pilraa's left arm remained, and Shana thought it was done. She tried to fly and help her friends, but before she could fly away, the arm caught her in its grasp. The palm opened to reveal a spare eye, and Shana realized she couldn't use her ki technique to its full extent. "Photo bomb" was gone, and she was powerless.

Shana kicked the hand away, but it regenerated quickly. The eye on the palm turned into a mouth, and Pilraa spoke, "You fool! You can't destroy me as long as my soul is intact. I can regenerate to the dimensional level." As Pilraa returned to her original form and assumed a commanding pose, she declared, "As I said, puny human, I am called the Negater. I can negate anything with a single glance. You can't even use any of your ki techniques. You are a little worm, and I am erasing your ki entirely."

As Pilraa locked eyes with Shana, all of her hard-earned ki disappeared in an instant, as though her powers and soul were sealed away forever. Shana realized that Pilraa was capable of absorbing and negating her ki, and so she turned to her physical body, which she had trained beyond its limits under her brother/master Laka's guidance. Laka had taught her to rely not solely on her ki but on her physical strength as well, to the point where powering up her ki only amplified her overall power.

With this knowledge in mind, Shana held her breath, bit her finger, and let her blood spill. She threw it with incredible speed, and it came dangerously close to Pilraa. As Pilraa screamed in terror and disbelief, Shana recalled her words, "See you in the afterlife, I hope you burn." Pilraa fired a blast, expecting to erase Shana, but to her surprise, it was she who was erased completely. Her physical body was gone, leaving behind nothing but ashes.

The victory was Shana's, but she knew that Pilraa's soul was still intact and could regenerate to the dimensional level. However, she was not afraid, for she had discovered a new power within herself, one that Pilraa could not negate: her physical strength.

As the robot watched the little sister he had left for disappear, the camera connected to Shino, and tears streamed down his eyes. The thought of her being gone rushed through his mind, and he commanded the robot to incinerate Pilraa. The robot obeyed and began charging its blast, but the power and speed grew beyond what the robot could handle. It fired the beam, multiplying its power and speed to the highest finite level known to math, and aimed it at Pilraa.

Pilraa, however, was not one to be underestimated. She summoned a massive portal, larger than any of her other trillions, and used it to create a beam bigger than the observable universe itself. The robot's beam clashed with the portal, and the struggle was intense. The robot multiplied its power by numbers higher than a googleplex, but it wasn't enough. The blast was equal to the portal, and the robot was struggling to heal itself as it destroyed itself.

In the midst of the beam clash, Pilraa sneered at the robot and taunted him, calling him "utter trash" and asking why he hadn't stayed that way. But just as the robot was on the brink of defeat, Pilraa's hand went down, and the portal beam instantly grew stronger. It was able to perform an infinite speed blast, which made it clear that the robot was outmatched. Pilraa said her final farewell, and the portal blast consumed the robot, leaving nothing behind but a memory of the little sister he had lost.

As the blast was about to hit the robot, Shana's blood regenerated an arm that punched Pilraa and incinerated her head. This caused the portal to disappear, and the blood puddle that Shana had spilled became the original body and made her even stronger. Although she still couldn't fly or breathe without ki, Shana was able to breathe in outer space after regenerating.

Shana grabbed Pilraa's skin and put her hand inside Pilraa's ribcage, using it to hold her ground. She began pummeling Pilraa bit by bit, her evolved strength so powerful that her physical punches affected Pilraa's soul. Even though Pilraa's regeneration seemed endless, Shana was able to punch her soul and prevent her from regenerating limbs. Pilraa was left with only her bare chest and head, wondering how Shana was damaging her even though she had negated her kitchen.

Shana grinned and said she had discovered Pilraa's weakness during the fight – her negating powers only worked on people with ki. Shana explained that her healing came from her physical body and derived from her stamina. As Shana continued to punch Pilraa's head, she ripped out Pilraa's heart and regained her lost ki and ki technique. Shana then gathered every living being's ki and infused it onto her head, multiplying the output. Finally, she punched Pilraa's head until all that was left was her head. Shana grabbed the head and headbutted it until Pilraa was gone, sustaining only minor injuries that she quickly healed from.

On Shirou and Deicoon's side, their opponent took notice of Pilraa's erasure. Nilratt, the Infinity, remarked, "That idiot got what she deserved. She was weak." Meanwhile, Uldi the Non-corporeal did not seem to care, looking away in disappointment rather than sadness for a fallen comrade. Seeing this infuriated Shirou, who exclaimed, "She was your ally! How could you be so callous?"

Nilratt replied, "That idiot has brought shame upon herself by defying our ruler, Tanulto, and his great power."

Shirou was further insulted by Nilratt's words, and he readied himself for a fight. It was now their turn to engage in battle.

Part 3

On Shirou's side, he was facing off against Nilratt the infinity, the ruler of the blue demon imp and a general of Tanulto, the ruler of all. Shirou took a battle stance and used the Chistraka stance that his master Laka had taught him. However, Nilratt didn't seem to care and took a nap in the midst of the battle. This made Shirou angry, but he remained still and thought of a plan.

He charged two ki ball energies, condensed them into a dense ball of energy, and blasted them at Nilratt with blazing speed. The first dense ball blast was powerful enough to tear space-time, and Nilratt saw it coming but didn't care. He used his tail to block the attack, but before he could do so, Shirou teleported with the second dense ball and tried to hit Nilratt in the head.

Although Shirou missed, the first dense ball of ki was going to hit Nilratt in the stomach. Still, he easily dodged it, and kicked Shirou at the back of the head. Shirou managed to block the attack and counterattacked by kicking Nilratt in the head, but Nilratt blocked it. They began clashing fists and kicks, blocking attacks, defending, and counterattacking, and it seemed like they were evenly matched.

As the fight continued, Shirou struggled to keep up with Nilratt's increased power and speed. Despite managing to dodge and block some attacks, Shirou's body was taking a lot of damage, with Nilratt hitting him repeatedly in vital areas. Shirou was hit in the liver, stomach, solar plexus, head temple, and chin, causing multiple concussions and knocking him unconscious in the middle of the battle.

Seeing Shirou lying motionless on the ground, Nilratt prepared to finish him off with a chop, but Shirou's body reacted on pure instinct, blocking the attack and launching a successful counterattack at Nilratt's stomach. Surprised by this turn of events, Nilratt launched a powerful kick, but even in his unconscious state, Shirou's body was able to dodge the attack and land another counterattack. Despite his opponent's resilience, Nilratt managed to block the counterattack, leaving the two warriors locked in a fierce struggle for survival.

Despite being knocked out, Shirou's body was able to draw upon his muscle memory and deep conditioning through pure instinct alone, revealing his raw and hidden potential for martial arts. He was able to perfectly replicate the hardest martial art created by Laka ChiStraka, mastering form one of the ChiStraka martial arts called "The Endless." This technique involved alternating between attack and defense stances passively, exponentially increasing the user's power, speed, durability, and ki potential to new heights, ultimately breaking their limits.

Even in his unconscious state, Shirou's instincts allowed him to execute the technique flawlessly. Later, when training with Laka in his dimension, Laka took note of Shirou's natural talent for martial arts, even stating that he was a better prodigy than Laka himself. Shirou even mastered ki, allowing him to see the future for a few seconds.

Shirou's raw talent for martial arts was unparalleled, as Laka noted that it was the most impressive thing he had ever seen. Using this talent, Shirou was able to close the gap with Nilratt, even while unconscious. Despite this, Nilratt explained his incredible power, stating that he was called the Infinity because any movement in his body, even something as small as a heartbeat or breathing, could increase his strength and ki beyond all life itself.

Nilratt then demonstrated his power by kicking Shirou's unconscious body with such force that it was sent hurtling to the edge of the infinite 3D distance of the universe, even crossing over into the 4D realm. As Shirou's body flew through space, Nilratt declared his intention to transcend the infinite 3D realm and become a fourth-dimensional being.

Nilratt flew away from the edge of infinity, using his ki technique known as the Hands of Infinity to create an army of three decillion clones. He had created the ships and army himself, and multiplied the clones hundreds of thousands of times, creating a massive army. Each clone had an exact copy of Nilratt's fighting capabilities.

With a wave of his hand, Nilratt pointed to Shirou's unconscious body and commanded his army to destroy him. The clones rushed towards Shirou's body, attacking from all directions with an omnidirectional assault. Some clones unleashed powerful ki beams, while others engaged in close combat.

Despite being unconscious, Shirou's body instinctively took a fighting stance and prepared to defend itself against the onslaught. The sheer power and numbers of Nilratt's army were daunting, but Shirou's raw talent for martial arts allowed him to hold his own against the seemingly endless wave of clones.

As the battle continued, the unconscious body of Shirou took down each clone one by one, using pure instinct to create a barrier against their ki blasts and eventually utilizing a new technique called "Gamezone: Quicktime" to stop time for a few seconds. However, Nilratt saw the threat and powered up his ki and strength, evolving into a 4th dimensional being. He charged at Shirou's unconscious body, who used the Chistraka martial arts form, "The Endless," to block the attack. The clash was intense, but Shirou's stamina rapidly depleted. Just as Nilratt was about to finish him off, Shirou regained consciousness and kicked Nilratt to the 4th dimensional distance.As Shirou woke up, he realized the magnitude of his abilities and the battle he just faced.

Shirou needed to think of a plan before Nilratt returned, and he remembered Laka's teachings on how to control his own body. He formulated a plan, and when Nilratt returned from the 4th dimension to the infinite 3D distance, he used his spear hand to puncture Shirou's chest like a needle through thread. Shirou felt excruciating pain for a few seconds, but then he made his body hard enough to trap Nilratt's left arm.

Nilratt tried to get his arm out by hitting Shirou in vital organs, ripping off his left arm, and causing multiple concussions, but Shirou persevered and used his final technique, "Gamezone: Quicktime," to stop time for a few seconds. However, his stamina depleted during the stop time, and his weakened punch barely touched Nilratt's chest when time resumed. Shirou was knocked out cold again, and his body was broken and shredded.

Nilratt thought he had won and tried to finish off Shirou with a finishing blow. However, something happened to Nilratt's chest; it became a large hole that erased him, leaving only his limbs behind. The after-effects of Shirou's punch affected a large portion of space-time, ripping it apart. Shirou's right arm instinctively reattached itself, and the battle was over for Shirou, or so he thought.

One of Nilratt's arms began to move, and he was scared as Shirou came running back to Uldi, the non-corporeal being.

As Shirou's body floated in the infinite expanse between 3D and 4D space, a small shape shuffled into view. It was a miniature version of the same robot that had fought the demon imps earlier, but now it had separated itself and shrunk down to a size smaller than an ant. As the robot transformed into a miniature camera for Shino, it was able to identify and prove Shino's theory about the infinite 3D universe. Now on the edge of infinity in a geometric scale, Shino had to deepen his understanding of the 4th dimension, so he would be able to see the 4D universe on a dimensional scale.

As Shino examined the robot's internal feed, he saw Shirou's unconscious body floating in space. Shino felt a pang of pity, as he knew Shirou had done nothing to deserve this fate. He instructed the robot to heal Shirou's injuries, and it injected a small dose of Shino's immortality drug. Since it was only a small dose, it would only heal physical injuries and allow Shirou to live a long, albeit short life.

Shirou was now healed, but still deep in slumber, and the robot looked on protectively from its hiding spot in Shirou's clothing, camouflaged by ki energy.

Suddenly, Shana flew onto the scene at a ludicrous speed, coming to Shirou's rescue. She noticed the arm poking Shirou and removed it with ease. Then, summoning her ki, vines popped out of thin air and merged with her ki, creating the Shana ki technique known as 'Blessing of the Green (stage 1)'. It was the weakest stage of healing in ki, but it was still able to heal fatal wounds and instantly rejuvenate the body. Focusing her energy, Shana successfully healed Shirou, though he remained unconscious.

Shana felt a wave of relief wash over her as she carried Shirou on her back, ready to help Deicoon in his upcoming fight. However, little did she know that this battle would be on an even larger scale than the previous two, completely dwarfing them in comparison.
