SSS Awakening: Starting With Infinite Soul Copy

All Rukun saw was that malevolent grin.

A grin that only made him aware of the fact that this was never a student he was fighting.

White’s hand blurred into a dozen images as he stabbed down with both blades dozens of times in the span of a single second.

Blood erupted like a dam with every stab, and it continued nonstop until

BAANG!

Rukun hit the ground, and the blades in his hands dispersed due to the energy that held them having dispersed.

Standing there on the battle stage, hands dripping in blood, was White, who looked down with the same lifeless eyes at Rukun beneath him.

One wouldn’t recognize him anymore.

Face destroyed so much that there was only a bloody skull to be seen.

His upper torso was marred completely with blade marks; visible ribs had been broken with such force that some pierced randomly across the part of his bloody skin.

He was knocked out cold, and only then did White turn away.

"WINNER! WHITE SINCLAW!"

The announcer announced, but there was no cheering, only a chilling crawl of silence as Rukun was quickly whisked out of the lab.

"Would you like to take some rest?"

A health staff that approached White asked.

Even though there was no visible wound on him, he couldn’t help but ask, partly due to fear and also the blood that fully covered him.

White turned his listless eye towards him before turning away, looking up at the announcer, who also met his gaze.

There was no need for words.

"NEXT CHALLENGE!"

"GUSTAVO DE MARIO VS WHITE SINCLAW!"

From the silence of the arena, the clear sound of footsteps echoed out loud, as a tall young man with golden hair rose to his feet, calmly stepping down to the center of the arena.

He came to stand 10 meters away from White.

"READY!"

The announcer ordered as he looked at both opponents, who stood there calmly in wait.

"FIGHT!"

CRAAAACKLE

A clap of thunder echoed through the arena as a pillar of golden lightning slammed down with incredible fervor towards the arena.

It blasted down onto Gustav, then surged toward White, drowning him within it, yet he remained completely unmoving, allowing the thunder to wash over him without so much as a blink. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Instead, his attention remained on Gustav, fully covered in the lightning, and his back leg quietly shifted back a couple of inches.

ROOOOOOAAAAR!

A powerful roar that led to many of the students clutching their ears tightly, boomed through the arena as the cloud of thunder forcefully parted.

Blasting a hole through was a bolt of lightning that flashed towards White, whose right hand jerked behind him.

BOOOOM!

A shockwave rippled through the arena as he slammed forth his right fist with brutal power, connecting with the massive golden fist that appeared before him.

BOOOOOM!

BOOOOOM!

BOOOOOM!

...fist for fist.

...punch for punch.

It was a brutal slugfest as White and Gustav exchanged dozens of blows in the span of a few seconds.

BOOOOOOOM!

Shockwave rippled, and lightning burst backwards as White’s head smashed right on Gustav’s nose, sending him taking two steps backwards.

BOOOOM!

The boy slammed out a punch that connected solidly with White’s face, but in return, his wrist was forcibly grabbed by White, who jerked him forward.

BOOOOM!

White’s elbow whipped forward like a blade, connecting with Gustav’s lower jaw and blowing his head back.

But his wrist was never let go.

Once more, he was forcibly jerked forward and once more,

BAAAANG!

CRAAACK!

A second explosion followed by the clear sound of cracking as White slammed his head once more into his nose.

It sent Gustav back five steps this time, a terrifying ringing echoing in his head as his teeth grinded.

Taking a step back, his hands raised, lightning coalescing

"Activate Limitless Collapse."

White ordered, reacting instantly as a terrifying suction force burst out towards Gustav, who roared out,

"Wrath Emissary: Hands of Calamitous Lightning!"

A palm phantom burst out, slamming into Limitless Collapse, but its fate was only to be absorbed.

In quick succession, Gustav slammed out five more of his palms, sending forth the massive golden hands that all disappeared into Limitless Collapse.

Six of the successive attacks were finally enough to overwhelm the void vortex, and it blew up.

KABOOOOOM!

A powerful explosion rocked the entire stage, sending both flying off their feet.

White’s feet dug into the ground, and he was forced back, managing to come to a stop 3 meters.

He turned forward to Gustav, who had also forced himself to a stop, albeit crouched to the ground.

"All you’ve had all this while is still those two lame attacks?"

White asked with an expressionless face, resuming his walk as his hands reached out, preparing to unleash another Limitless Collapse.

"Are you reciting your wish out loud?"

Gustav asked, and in the next moment, both of his hands slowly raised high above his head, and he himsefl floated off the ground.

What came was a manifestation from behind him.

Tiny vortices, each with a diameter of about 20 centimeters, all opened around him, a total of 6 to be exact.

They crackled with an incredible amount of lightning energy, as the vortex before White’s finger also split apart.

"Collapse."

He whispered, and the vortex released a tearing force that blasted towards the floating Gustav.

The boy, in return, raised his hands forward, the 6 lightning vortices behind him spinning and then,

"Wrath Descent!"

BOOOOOOOOOOOM!

Six bolts of lightning burst forward towards the approaching wave of power as space and lightning collided with power.

White’s hair flapped with insane speed from the force of the attack, his crimson eyes narrowed to slits when he watched the six bolts fight combined to form one single pillar that managed to resist his second Limitless Collapse, both exhausting the other.

The sight of that made him pause before, all of a sudden, his expressionless face curved into a grin.

Without a word, he raised his right hand again, but this time not just his right hand.

White’s left hand was also raised at the same time, leading some of the students to jump to their feet.

"Don’t tell me."

"Activate Limitless Collapse."

"Activate Limitless Collapse."

The command rang through the arena...twice!
