"Tremor Flash: Willow Fluff!" Before Gern finished speaking, the ground beneath his feet exploded!
He elementalized into a drifting stream of vibration particles, leaving behind a white shockwave afterimage that slowly faded.
His true body had already closed in on Saint Saturn in an instant through sheer explosive power!
Black Blade: Eight Desolations in his right hand crackled with seething dark purple Conqueror's Coating lightning and pure white particles of High-Frequency Vibration. It tore through the air, slashing straight at his opponent's face!

His left fist was already brimming with destructive white vibration light. Aiming at Saint Saturn's swollen, rounded belly, he hurled a vibration sphere with all his might!
"Heavenquake: Falling Star!"
Saint Saturn still did not dodge. Black smoke merely poured
