24.

Fisk growled, his rocky form shifting as he prepared for another assault. "I'll crush you," he snarled, his eyes burning with rage.

Kai casually dodged the punch with ease as he grabbed the incoming fist and threw it against the nearby wall with a force that shook the room. Fisk grunted in pain but quickly recovered, but before he could even act, Kai launched a quick counterattack. With a swift movement, Kai closed the distance between them in an instant, his movements fluid and precise like a dancer's.

His fist blurred as it connected with Fisk's midsection, a burst of cursed energy enhancing the impact. The force of the blow sent shockwaves through the air, cracking the stone beneath Fisk's feet.

Fisk staggered back, momentarily winded by the unexpected ferocity of Kai's attack. His rocky exterior showed signs of stress, small fractures spreading from where Kai's punch had landed. Growling in frustration, Fisk lunged forward again, swinging his massive fists with renewed determination.

Kai met each blow with calculated grace, dodging and weaving effortlessly through Fisk's attacks. 

"All that effort for you to just be a bigger idiot than before, was this really your endgame?" Kai mocked, "If you want to kill me you'd have to try much harder than that-"

Kai stopped in his tracks, sending a cleave attack towards Fisk throwing him away like a ragdoll as he looked down at the puddle of Jelly that he had stepped on with disgust.

Kicking it around he couldn't help but mutter, "What the fuck are you supposed to be?"

On top of the room, the newly formed mutant army awaited for the chance and they believed this was it. Hiding using one of the member's abilities to cloak they had quickly strategized the perfect plan to launch an all-out attack on him when he was distracted by the mutant Jelly.

Nodding amongst each other, they held their breaths as the mutant released his ability making them fall to the ground with unfathomable speed and precision as they all readied their specialized attacks at the distracted Kai.

But before they could even land their attacks, the members with the highest reaction time watched as Kai turned around in an instant staring right at them. 

He turned swiftly, his movements fluid and precise. "Have you finally decided to play?" Kai's voice cut through the darkness, laced with both mockery and determination.

In response, a shockwave erupted from Kai, a wave of cursed energy released in all directions. The force of the cleave attack obliterated everything in its path, shattering walls and sending mutants flying like ragdolls. The room trembled under the sheer power unleashed, debris raining down as the air crackled with residual energy.

The Torch of the Statue of Liberty that they were on began crumbling as the debris began falling down onto the ground. 

Within moments, the mutant attackers were reduced to nothing more than scattered remnants. Their body cut off into pieces, some couldn't even be distinguished as humans. Those who managed to survive were few, shielded by their abilities from the full force of Kai's onslaught but even they couldn't escape the attack.

The new army of mutants collapsed as soon as it had formed.

"Was that all?" Kai shook his head as he walked towards Magneto and Rogue who were staring at him in awe, "But I've got to hand it to you, you've certainly created a piece of spectacular nothingness. I'd figured they'd be much... you know stronger so I used more force than I normally would but it seems to be wasted on them."

"Now where were we, Magneto you metallic dick head, we have some catching up to do, don't we?" He let out a devilish smile at Magneto who frowned throwing away his damaged helmet.

"What are you?" He questioned staring at him as the metallic structure around him began crumbling, pieces and shards of metal twisted themselves into hundreds of sharp weapons all pointing at Kai, "As far as I know-"

"Yeah, yeah not a mutant... I am sure you've already heard of who I am." Kai looked towards Fisk who was groaning in pain, the heavy slash dug deep into his chest piercing through his rock armor.

"Of course, I have, the accident I caused that led to the death of your brother. But I apologize, my child, as you wouldn't be getting your revenge today." Magneto's voice was laced with a cold, calculating tone as he continued, his eyes never leaving Kai. "Today, you face the consequences of your meddling."

Kai simply smirked, his confidence unwavering. "Consequences? That's cute."

Without warning, the metal shards Magneto had summoned shot towards Kai with deadly precision. The air was filled with the whistling sound of the projectiles as they closed in on him.

Kai's eyes glinted with amusement. With a swift motion, he released another wave of cursed energy but this time unlike the previous use of his attacks there was no spectacular display of his powers but rather the ground beneath him cracked open.

Right before Magneto's attack could reach him, the floor gave way, and Kai plummeted through the shattered floor, descending rapidly toward the ground below. As he fell, Kai's laughter echoed through the air, filled with maniacal glee.

Mid-descent, Kai unleashed a series of dismantled attacks aimed at the Statue of Liberty's hand. Each attack struck with pinpoint accuracy, causing the hand to fracture and crumble. The massive structure began to break apart, debris cascading down in a torrent of destruction.

Kai's laughter continued to reverberate through the chaos, a chilling sound amidst the collapsing monument. The hand of the statue, once a symbol of hope and freedom, now fell in pieces, a testament to the sheer power and devastation Kai wielded.

Although he had not been swayed by his revenge on Magneto, Kai nonetheless had thought countlessly of how he could kill Magneto. The powerful mutant was a formidable opponent with countless tricks up his sleeve, and after hours upon hours of consideration, he had landed on a single trick he could use.

Pure destruction.

Landing on his legs, Kai jumped away before the debris could fall on him as he situated himself in the distance watching the chaos he had caused.
