Title: A Battle of Minds...
….
Meruem just looked at Jax as he attacked him. And even though he seems to display no emotion on the outside. On the inside it is a totally different matter.
'So Perfect Plan isn't so perfect after all.' Thinks Meruem as suddenly his Nen stopped flowing out of him. 'So it seems like his ability determined that it would be too dangerous for me to create a Special Ability (Hatsu) and it was the best time to attack now. What that says is that, even if he predicted that… who is the one really in control.'
As soon as the King heard about Jax's ability, he immediately made a counter measure. Perfect Plan, can only choose the best option, but that is where the flaw comes, what if there are only two choices, like when Meruem decided to create his Hatsu (Special Ability). Jax could either attack or stay back, his ability predicted that it was better to attack at that moment and not allow Meruem to create his ability. It immediately gave Meruem knowledge that if he created his ability, it would be dangerous for Jax, also if he only allows a 'Perfect' option available, one that is created by him… then Perfect Plan can be used against Jax.
'But I will need to finish this fast, or else I will really die. Normally it would take a couple of hours for this poison to kill me. But it has been shortened to minutes due to me being in high level movement all this time, making my body more susceptible to the poison and making it move faster along my body.' Analyses Meruem, his mind coming up with thousands of actions that he can think off and deciding to take an action to make Jax do his 'perfect' action.
Immediately Meruem goes on the offensive as Jax is coming towards him. Meruem's speed outclassed Jax's, but Jax still dodged… just as Meruem expected, so he used Youpi's ability, and created fleshy tentacles behind his back, each of them having a knife like edge at the tip.
Also two more pairs of arms appear, making it a total of six arms. Plus with his metalik exoskeleton, Meruem looks nothing like his previous self.
Immediately before he can even finish his transformation and attack Jax.
Jax jumps back, this being the perfect move possible at the moment. But this made Jax be on the air, so Meruem attacked him.
*fwosh*
During this split second Meruem as he is using his EN to sense everything within his surroundings, he senses needles punctuate Jax to move him backwards.
*fwosh*
Seemingly dodging Meruem's attacks…
But suddenly Meruem points towards Jax's cheek and says. "You have a small cut in there."
And truly, a small cut appears on Jax's cheek. Meruem just smiles at this. "It seems like your ability isn't something all mighty, after all… you did get hurt, something that definitely was the perfect move, for you, but it means that any other move and you would have gotten worse than a small cut. Meaning that… if you didn't have this ability… you would have been dead a long time ago."
Meruem's Nen expands again, starting to create a Hatsu (Special Ability) especially made to save him from the poison he is currently dying of. But again Jax, while using his needles levitates towards him and attacks. Confirming Meruem's suspicion as he dodges Jax's attacks.
But suddenly Jax's Nen transmuted into string and it wrapped around Meruem. Who easily broke out of it, but he then is almost entrapped AGAIN by a Bungee Gum slingshot.
But at this time, just as Meruem is about to make another dodge, Jax just takes a deep breath and..
*poof*
<Deep Purple>
He breathes out smoke, immediately surrounding Meruem. He sees this and notices that Jax is right beside him, ready to attack… but suddenly… Jax clasps his hands going for the attack.
<Scream>
A dark space appears between his hands, he is using Knov's ability, and the King is confused as suddenly..
*swosh*
His arms on his left side all disappear..
But Meruem isn't panicking at all when he sees this. He just jumps back, his arms all regrow back as he uses Youpi's ability to create new ones.
Immediately the King flies towards Jax again, ready to attack. Jax just gathers Nen towards his hand and says.
"First comes Rock…"
The King is immensely faster than him and is in front of Jax but…
"BIG BANG ATTACK."
And as Meruem's attack is about to hit him, Jax just slips past it as a lightning trail appears behind him… and he surprises Meruem on that split second as he hits in the stomach.
But… the King has already learned a lot from this battle as… he took no damage due to having used KO to gather all of his Aura at the point of impact and together with his exoskeleton, there was no damage inflicted to him.
But for Jax that was another story as the tentacles from Meruem's back moved and with the blades at their tips…
*fwosh*
But due to him using KEN to spread his Nen and keep it steady like armor, no major injuries appeared. But he still can't defend completely from the attack as countless cuts appear all around his body.
This is also another difference between them, as Meruem has an exoskeleton, he is unlikely to get any injuries like Jax, making his defense stronger, especially with Youpi's ability reinforcing it and even giving Meruem a crude form of regeneration.
As Jax is momentarily injured, Meruem takes that chance to jump back.
'Jax's reaction to not allowing me to create my Special Ability, means that his Perfect Plan has already seen that I WILL SUCCEED.' Celebrates Meruem as his Nen jumps up and it gathers together to truly form its ability… but….
Suddenly Jax gets up and with its injured body he smiles and says. "<Pain Packer>"
Putting a huge amount of Nen in this ability, allowing him to take it past its limits even though he has only 40% Compatibility on Transmuter Nen.
He creates a huge Sun and red armor/cloak around him.
And as Meruem sees this he can't help but be a little annoyed. He stops creating his special ability, which he has been doing a lot lately and he transforms all of his six hands into dark red as they bulk up and small moths appear on their palms. Huge amounts of Nen are gathered into it and...
*BOOOM*
A huge Nen beam goes to hit the miniature sun that Jax just threw towards him.
But as Meruem was doing that… out of the ground under him needles packed with powerful Nen and they immediately go for Meruem's head… usually the chance of them hitting anything vital was almost impossible... but… with Jax still using Perfect Plan…
*fwish*
As the King turns to look at the needles while he is still attacking the miniature sun…
The needles pierce his eyes…
…..
AUTHOR NOTE:
Jax has only 40% in Transmutation so his abilities aren't as strong as his Conjugation or Emission is.
Hope you like the battle and how it is going. We see that the battle is a hard one… for both sides...
