Super Fighting Tokyo.

Darsim crossed one leg on the spot, his movement both leisurely and strange.

{Among the many tactics, there are both soft and hard approaches.}

{It goes without saying that I belong to the former group, but those who use force to subdue their enemies are also everywhere.}

Regardless of whether you are Vega or not, as a fighter, you are a true exemplar of strength.

However, both gentleness and strength have their own merits, provided they are supported by a strong inner self.

{…}

Upon hearing this, Vega raised his head slightly. {Regardless of the past, the person standing here now is me, and everything belongs to me.}

I want to forge my own path, that's all!

{…}

Darsim looked back at the battlefield, {It is precisely because of the unwavering resolve that one becomes a strongman.}

{Hmph, boring.}

Vega turned forward, then suddenly grinned maliciously. "A person who understands thirst is more useful to me than someone who seems to understand me."

{…}

The two masters were referring to Bai Mucheng.

More accurately, it's the battle that Shiramu Cheng is fighting right now!

Facing Pico with a "hunger" and unleashing his moves with absolute self-reliance and "tenacity," he highly concentrated his mental energy!

……

……

Whoa!

Bai Mucheng slid backward, using the "Execution Step" to avoid Pi Ke's large hand, while simultaneously creating distance.

The next instant, the entire body completed the soul-level [exhaustion], the center of gravity lowered, the left foot pointed forward, and the right foot pushed off the ground with force, creating a large crater in the ground with a "thud".

[Vega's sliding tackle kick]!

Wow!

In an instant, Bai Mucheng seemed to be sliding on the ground in a crouching position, while kicking out his left foot and slamming it into Pike's right ankle.

"...!"

Pico stumbled, his burly body falling forward.

Bai Mucheng responded by crouching down, clenching his fists and thrusting them upwards with great force, like a spear thrusting diagonally.

【Darsim Yoga Spear】!

Boom——!

A hit to Pike's jaw would be enough to knock out a professional fighter.

But for Pike, who has a neck like a buffalo, it was impossible to shake his head; it only made his eyes tremble.

...But that doesn't matter at all!

Because Pi knew that the guy in front of him hadn't finished fighting at all, and didn't even consider the possibility of "finishing" the fight; there was only endless "continue"!

Swish!

Bai Mucheng suddenly opened his arms and grabbed Pi Ke's head from both sides. Then, he swung his right palm horizontally and slammed it down, hitting Pi Ke's cheek hard.

[Long Bo's slap!]

Boom!

An invisible fist exploded on Pike's face, bursting into illusory fireworks.

……

"..."

In the audience, everyone watched with bated breath.

Okubo rested his chin on his hand and grinned:

"Even Pikachu would feel confused after being bombarded by Shiraki Jona's unprecedented and abundant fighting techniques, right?"

……

……

This is indeed the case.

As Naoya Okubo, the "King of Fighters," said, after being repeatedly struck by Shiraki, Pike's face was covered in dirt.

He straightened up, trying to see clearly what was in front of him, but saw Bai Mucheng jump up suddenly and slam his left knee into him.

[Sagat Tiger Jump Knee Strike]!

Boom~!

Another powerful blow struck, causing Pi Ke's nose to bleed profusely.

That's all.

A move that doesn't aim to "finish" the game, of course, can't defeat Pike.

But in Pike's eyes, who had just experienced various styles of striking techniques, Shiraki's image was changing once again.

The originally invisible, "muddy" substance suddenly spread and expanded.

Bai Mucheng, who was panting heavily from exhaustion, still feeling the lingering effects of the collision, and trembling from the pain, suddenly transformed—

He stretched out his flexible hands and feet, his limbs emitting a bluish-green light, and his whole body wriggled and transformed, becoming an unparalleled monster!

It's not about ending things, and I never think about parting...

—I just want to keep going!

Such an opponent is something Pi has never heard of before, much less seen!

As a result, Pike trembled all over, his face contorted and he was panting heavily; he looked extremely uncomfortable.

But Pi didn't run away!!

Because what appeared before him was a terrifying monster that could even control its own form freely, with countless states.

—So, it's a monster.

The monsters are not disgusting, nor are they repulsive.

Faced with the monster, Pico finally stopped "pushing" and began to carefully observe it.

The more I look at it, the stranger it seems.

"..."

In the distant Cretaceous period...

Pico could withstand the massive impact of a dinosaur's tail whip, the heavy ramming of a Triceratops, and even the stomping of a Supersaurus's massive feet.

He even escaped danger from the jaws of a Tyrannosaurus Rex!

Even the "bees" that had caused him pain were eventually overcome, though he could not eat them.

In short, the invincible feeling etched into Pi Ke's body made him firmly believe that he would never give in and would definitely be able to end the battle!

But after arriving in the modern era...

Those little men who challenged him, though they caused themselves great pain, sometimes had unexpected accidents.

But he survived it all! And at a certain point, he finished off his opponent!!

however--

For the first time, Pico experienced the agony of "never ending," and couldn't even imagine the moment he would finish off his opponent!

Primitive people must have had a very difficult time.

So he gritted his teeth and lunged at Shiramu Cheng again, bracing himself for the impact, wanting to understand everything from the beginning.

But the next second, Bai Mucheng suddenly "dissipated", leaving only a roar in the place.

Soul-level [Exhaustion] Completed —

【Darsim Yoga Moment】!

Whoosh!

It's the same forward dash, but it focuses more on the "movement" itself than Vega's [Mental Force Whirlwind Impact], and it's completed in an instant.

Even without blinking, all you could see was Bai Mucheng suddenly disappear, then reappear behind Pi Ke, stomping his foot down and creating a hole in the sand.

Boom!

That's a speed that transcends the concept of "speed"!

……

"—!"

In an instant, Okubo and Himuro Ryo recalled Kaneda Suekichi's words.

That was no exaggeration; it was Shiraki Seijin's "teleportation"!

Kaneda Suekichi clenched his fists, thinking even more, "It's that move! And the way it's used is different, it's even more perfect!"

……

……

The people in the audience had different thoughts.

On the field—

Shiraki Cheng and Pi Ke are also thinking about completely different things.

Shiraki Cheng wondered what kind of moves he could make by integrating the techniques of [Frame] with the [Exhaustion] state of mental power.

And what about Pico?
