Old Power

In theory, after extracting a organism's genes, Omnitrix optimizes them to make them the healthiest genes in the species.

Although it's described as healthy, in most cases, it's not a big problem to consider it as optimal.

Just like Ben transformed into the Four Arms, although he was male, he was able to suppress the stronger female Tetramand in terms of strength.

But now...

Thump!

The silver-gray shadow was kicked away by Caiera and embedded in the rock, leaving a clear human imprint.

"Strange, how can their strength be so vastly different?"

Ben finally managed to pull himself off the wall, looking puzzled.

"Hey, Caiera, why can't I be electrified like you?" he asked curiously.

Even if only female Phantoms possess this ability, Little Broken Watch should be able to use it on himself.

"You mean the Old Power?"

Considering that Ben might be the legendary Son of Sakaar, Caiera did not appear aggressive, but instead answered his questions.

"This is not a power that the Shadow People is born with; it is not formed naturally, but acquired later," Caiera said.

The Old Power is a man-made cosmic energy, not possessed by every Sakaar, nor is it limited to Sakaar people.

No wonder...

Ben understood immediately.

The so-called Old Power is essentially like internal energy in kung fu, like the martial arts mastered by the Revonnahganders. Even if Ben could transform into Revonnahganders (Benny's assistant Rook), he could not possibly master the martial arts that the other party had painstakingly trained.

But,

"Since it's a technique developed through practice, I should be able to learn it too!"

Even Caiera found it somewhat absurd upon hearing this.

"That's impossible. I'm the most talented among the Gray Sakaaran, and even so, it took me many years to cultivate the Old Power to this level. You've never even come into contact with the Old Power; activating it wouldn't be an easy task."

After saying that, she charged at Ben like a cannonball, her long legs kicking towards Ben's chest like whips.

In a moment of desperation, Ben ducked to avoid the attack, but Caiera's strike landed squarely on the rock behind him.

Boom!!

In an instant, the entire massive rock mass shattered under the force of her kick.

The rubble shot out like bullets, piercing through layers of rock!

Then, alarm bells rang in Ben's head. He suddenly looked up and saw Caiera raising her right leg high. Before Ben could even face the wall in repentance, his body instinctively rolled to the side.

At the same time, Caiera's right leg, crackling with Flash, slashed down like a thunder axe!

Boom!!

Another loud bang.

Although Caiera's attack did not directly hit Ben, the powerful force created a huge shockwave that sent him flying.

The ground beneath Caiera's feet was also torn apart by this attack!

Ben was terrified.

This Supreme Warrior is indeed quite skilled.

"You should go back to being that green guy from before, or Tetramand, and fight me." Caiera turned around, looking as if she was afraid of accidentally killing Ben.

"I said, we must fight magic with magic." Ben shook his head.

Actually, he was simply a little envious of the Old Power. Although any species could learn this power, it might be easier for the Shadow People, who invented this energy, to learn and use it.

This is clearly not an easy task.

Caiera's talent is already top-tier among the Shadow People. She was originally a warrior handpicked by the Red King. Even if Ben's talent is slightly stronger than hers, it's impossible for him to make up for decades of hard work in an instant.

Caiera strikes again.

Her entire body was crackling with terrifying lightning, and both her eyes were radiating intense white light!

Lightning seemed to float between her arms like divine ribbons.

She threw a punch with lightning speed, the air exploded, and a sonic boom was created.

Boom!

Ben dodged awkwardly.

He looked like a stray dog being chased, making everyone who saw it hold their breath in suspense.

"Why doesn't the Hacker boss turn into a four-armed monster and fight her?" Korg asked anxiously as he ran through the arena.

He wasn't the only one who thought this way; those who witnessed the epic battle between Ben and Looma in the arena would never forget that breathtaking scene.

That terrifying power was as if a monster was sealed within his body, inspiring awe in all who beheld it.

However, Bill reached out and slammed the broadcast shut. His gaze swept over Korg, his protruding mouth reminiscent of the wildebeest skeletons in the desert.

He said coldly, "He must have his reasons. We just need to do what we're supposed to do."

"I'm worried too..."

"Don't worry, Korg," Xiloi said, "The Son of Sakaar will not lose to a traitor of the Shadow People!"

"Although the number of guards in the Totem Tower has been reduced significantly, there are still Royal Guard remaining. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to reach the top of the tower," Doug asked.

"The Red Wind Queen will draw our fire," Bill said expressionlessly.

Before he could finish speaking, a furious roar pierced through several floors!

"Anmo Yashan!"

It was indeed the voice of Queen Looma, the Red Wind Queen.

At this moment, knowing that everything was proceeding according to plan Looma feigned anger, smashing through several metal walls and rushing in front of the Red King. She held a double-headed giant hammer in her hand, as if she were wielding a barbell as a weapon.

"You despicable scoundrel, how dare you commit such a vile act!"

"I don't know what you're talking about, Looma."

The Red King was not surprised that Looma would rush out in anger. In fact, when he sent Caiera to ambush Ben, he had already considered that Looma would be extremely angry.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have donned his armor so early and gathered the Royal Guard around him.

"Did you send Caiera to ambush Benny?!" Looma's four eyes were bloodshot.

"I must first clarify that he was the one who attacked my Death Head Guards first!"

Red King said with a cold laugh.

He was absolutely right. After killing the monster inside the Giant Stomach, Ben charged headlong into the Death Head Guards.

"What a joke! If you weren't planning to use a sneak attack, why would the Death Head Guards appear in a place like that?"

Looma, "Get the Death Head Guards and Caiera to retreat immediately, or I'll crush your head!"

"Presumptuous!"

The Red King abruptly rose from his throne, slamming the massive blade heavily onto the ground, sparks flying.

His eyes seemed to be burning.

"Looma, I don't care which planet you're from, queen, but here you are nothing!"

Everything you have is from me! I am the only king of Sakaar!

"That won't be the case for long!"

Looma sneered, then charged forward, raising the heavy hammer high with both hands, her body curving backward into a Xuan Yue!

The heavy hammer slammed down!

Thump!!

In an instant, the Red King's throne was smashed to pieces.

The Royal Guard surrounding the Red King immediately surrounded Looma, wielding golden Long Spear, their blades clashing together, and thrust them at Looma!

Sparks burst forth!

These Royal Guard were far fewer in number than the Death Head Guards, but their fighting strength and equipment far surpassed that of the Death Head Guards.

Dozens of people rushed towards Looma, and for a moment Looma found herself in a fierce battle.

She raised her hand to block one warrior's attack, then leaped forward, extending her right arm and swinging it sharply like a guillotine, slashing it across another warrior's throat and sending him flying.

At the same time, dozens of people attacked her from behind.

Seeing this, Looma slammed the hammer in her hand down on the ground without hesitation, instantly collapsing several layers of floorboards beneath her feet!

"Come down with me!"

Wow!

The entire floor of the room was smashed by Looma, and not only the Royal Guard, but even the Red King was not spared, falling down with her.

However, he was also very skilled. With the help of his golden armor, the Red King gained great mobility. He jumped several times on the ground after he fell, and thrust his blade at Looma, who was unable to put any weight in the air!

"Go to hell!"

Clang!

Looma clenched her hands together under her ribs, gripping the blade between her palms, while her other two arms grabbed the back of the long sword, and her long legs kicked towards the Red King's abdomen.

Clang!

This kick was enough to shatter the rock, but it only left a shallow mark on the Red King's armor.

Looma's face showed surprise.

In an instant, the two landed simultaneously.

The Red King then realized that they had fallen all the way from the room into the arena.

At this moment, there was not a single spectator in the arena, and all the lights were dim, as if the play had not yet begun.

Then, dozens of Royal Guard landed at the same time, forming a circle around Looma.

Looma scanned the area with her four eyes and realized that almost all the troops in the arena had been drawn to her and gathered there. Therefore, she was no longer in a hurry to fight the Red King and instead spent the time on the matter.

"Anmo Yashan, your turtle shell has gotten even harder."

Upon hearing this, the Red King wasn't angry, or perhaps he had been angry enough these past few days.

He took a step forward, as if to demonstrate his authority and power to Looma, and said smugly:

"Did you think I would do nothing after I learned you had the ability to tear my armor apart?"

He reached out and tapped his armor, the metallic sound echoing in the empty arena.

"This special metal won't be damaged even if you punch it hundreds of times!"

"Tch." Looma turned her head away and scoffed.

"Looma, why would you oppose me for the sake of someone who is about to die?" the Red King said arrogantly. "I am the Emperor of Sakaar. If you are willing to submit to me, you can become the true Queen of Sakaar, and the title of Red Wind Queen will no longer be just that."

"Ridiculous! I am the true queen, while you are nothing but a red-skinned Joker. And compared to Benny..."

You're way off!
