Biological Supercomputer System

Erik launched another devastating barrage, his powers merging fire and lightning into a swirling storm of orange and blue energy.

The combined attack lit up the sky like a second rising sun. Bill's invisible hands moved with practiced precision, carving clean paths through the maelstrom, but Erik could see the telltale trembling in the distorted air where Bill's powers manifested.

Bill repeatedly tried to close the distance between them, using his invisible hands to propel himself through the air.

However, Erik maintained his aerial position with natural flight ability enhanced by telekinesis, moving at speeds that Bill's hand-propelled movement couldn't match.

Despite his power, Bill's method of flight was more mechanical and less fluid, giving Erik a clear advantage in mobility.

"This fight made things more clear, Erik Romano. You are a psychopathic mass murderer who won't stop at nothing to achieve his petty revenge!"

Bill struggled to keep up with Erik's speed.

"Dangerous to the Blackguards, you mean."

"To everyone." Bill's hands multiplied. "People with overwhelming power always are."

Erik created another Hydra's head. While having two heads instead of one increased his strength, it also made him more susceptible to losing control of himself.

The plants ripped through the enemy ranks while maintaining distance from Bill. The number of soldiers kept oscillating, and so did their rate. Sometimes they increased, and some other times they decreased. The blackguards were likely redirecting their forces from the walls.

"Speaking from experience?"

Bill laughed.

"Funny, but if you think we are the same as you, you are mistaken. We are an organization, not a lone individual who could easily get lost in his own power!"

"What part of my army made you think I'm alone?"

"Them? It's clear they result from your powers. You thought we didn't notice? They all have the same powers..."

"Congratulations on having figured that out."

Bill smiled.

"History has already proven how dangerous someone like you can be, and now we have proof of that."

Bill's attacks intensified, invisible hands reaching from impossible angles. Erik avoided getting killed just because of instability and the new Hydra's head.

"What the fuck are you talking about?"

"Yeah, I knew you would not be aware of this."

Erik sensed the change in Bill's emotions through instability. There was bitterness there, and something deeper.

"What truth?" Erik asked, combining wind and lightning to clear a path through Bill's defenses. Bodies fell below as his plants continued their deadly work.

"Solomon Judd. You are like him."

Erik almost paused mid-attack. "The Savior of Humanity? What about him?"

Bill's laugh carried no humor. "Savior? Yeah, savior... Really." His hands multiplied again, forcing Erik to retreat. "He was a tyrant."

"A tyrant? You are ridiculous."

Erik's plants surged toward the blackguards. More soldiers died trying to breach his defenses around the aircraft.

"I'm not surprised you don't know. Few do." Bill's speed burst carried him through Erik's attacks with practiced ease.

"The first X-ranked soldier after the establishment of the Ferebitz scale. The most powerful human in history. The man who carved out humanity's place in Mannard through sheer force."

Erik launched another attack. "Everyone knows that."

"But do they know how he did it?" Bill's invisible hands formed intricate patterns. "Do they know what happened to those who opposed him? How he controlled everything from the shadows?"

[LEVEL UP]

The level-up notification flashed in Erik's vision, but his focus remained unbroken. Below, his plants continued their brutal killing, their vines and tendrils weaving through enemy ranks and dismembering them.

Erik also kept aerial distance from Bill, knowing that a single touch from those invisible hands could prove fatal.

"He started just like you," Bill said. "A justice's paladin, fighting for what he believed was right. Fighting to save humanity. But power corrupts, Erik. It always does. He died because of greed."

"You're comparing me to Solomon Judd?" Erik's attacks took on a sharper edge. Ice spears merged, forcing Bill to spend more energy defending.

"The parallels are obvious. Overwhelming power. A crusade against perceived injustice. Even your neural link growth mirrors his suspected technique."

Erik's illusions multiplied to keep the hands at bay. "You weren't even alive then. How would you know?"

"The Blackguards keep detailed records. We were there, albeit with different names." Bill's Matter Disruption turned Erik's attacks to nothing. "Every division commander has access to the truth. I've read his complete dossier."

The hangar floor had become a graveyard, yet still they came, and more blackguards were

coming.

"And now you're waging war against us," Bill said. "Just like he waged war against those who opposed him."

"You forced this war," Erik said. "You tried to kill me. You led my father to his death. You helped Volkov take Frant and unleash the Heniate!"

"Everything had a reason."

"What reason?" Erik's attacks intensified, his rage feeding into his powers. "Getting the biological supercomputer? For what? Gaining more power? Don't tell bullshit to me by saying all of this was for humanity's sake."

Bill's invisible hands formed a dome around him as Erik's assault reached new heights of destruction. He was struggling to contain him now.

"Do you really think we waged wars, experimented on people, and controlled governments

from the shadows just for power?"

"Yes."

Erik's plants grew faster, their vines thickening and multiplying as they spread across the hangar floor. The dense network of vegetation crushed and ensnared everything in its path, moving with lethal efficiency. His emotions made the growth reach a speed it didn't normally

reach.

[LEVEL UP]

"Such a simple view," Bill said. His attacks came faster, driven by something beyond duty now. "You're proving my point. Like Judd, you see only what you want to see."

Erik focused more on the battle. His illusions became more complex. "I see plenty. I see your organization's lust for power, for control."

"Power and control?" Bill's laugh was sharp. "We could have had power centuries ago. We could have ruled openly, controlling everything directly. Instead, we work from the shadows, making the hard choices others won't."
