30 True Battle of Reincarnators

[New Skill Temporarily Obtained: (LR) Pantheon Shift | The Fulminating King of Gods: Zeus | Special Traits: Divine Power] 

[ATK: 5000 | DEF: 5000 | MAG: 8000] 

The pale-blue electricity burned away his cloak, revealing the light of the godly power etched onto his body as his light-gray hair shifted, spiking up from the voltage and turning to a glowing, white complexion that matched the divine lightning. 

He stood there now, silent yet peering at his foe with eyes imbued with divine authority, surrounded by sparks of the unequaled electricity. 

Constantine kept his guard high for a moment as sweat dripped from his chin before stomping down and powering up, "Don't get cocky now. I–!"

Before the figure could even finish speaking, Jett waved his hand, releasing a booming shock wave that mirrored the thunder of a godly storm, blowing Constantine back with almighty winds. 

"Gah–!" Constantine let out. 

Just as the golden-haired reincarnator caught himself, nearly stumbling upon the grass, swift lightning bolts jabbed against his body harshly, striking his shoulder and torso multiple times. 

"Nngh…!" Constantine winced. 

Each hit was powerful, yet these were only warnings from the summoner who wielded the godly power, merely pointing a single finger towards Constantine which aimed such attacks. 

"...That's how it is, huh? Fine, I'll admit it," Constantine said low, gripping his armor before tearing it off, "--I underestimated you. I'll reprimand that mistake right now by going all-out."

Heat soared directly around Constantine as the luscious grass around his feet ignited, burning away as waves of such heat propelled outward, causing his golden tufts to sway before taking a fiery radiance itself. 

"Up until now, I've withheld my own system," Constantine admitted, "I'll show it to you right now–my 'Solar System'." 

Those words were followed by the activation of the vicious reincarnator's system, manifesting itself through an otherworldly heat that melted the ground around him with a single pulse, shifting the soil into magma through unstable energy rippling through the field. 

Forsaking his quartz armor as it too, melted away in the pool of molten ground around himself, Constantine wore nothing but his scarlet, sun-symbolled cape as it burned, but didn't fade. The figure's body became etched with tattoos that took a glow of the Sun, radiating with supreme heat as his amber irises shifted into unstable flames. 

–This was the pinnacle of heat; the "Solar System" had awakened. 

"Come on, then," Jett spoke fearlessly. 

As they two standoff, without even yet fighting, the once quiet valley was torn at the seams by the colliding forces of power that passively existed like natural disasters; lightning charred and struck down upon the fields while the supreme heat tore any future of life from the soil. 

There was only a brief silence, though the crackling of seraphic lightning and hissing of heat rippling through the air was always present–still, the moment a small spark and a molten droplet collided–

FWOOOM

The entirety of the valley shook as Jett, embodying Zeus himself, moved across the field with the swiftness of a lightning bolt, even catching Constantine off-guard with such speed before he tossed his knuckles straight across the radiant figure. 

There wasn't a single doubt about it this time; the attack he launched was fully felt by the once impervious foe as Constantine' cheek rippled and his balance was momentarily launched. 

ZAPP

Before a counterattack could be launched by the wielder of the ["Solar System"], as Constantine' arm became shrouded in an otherworldly heat, Jett invoked the authority of Zeus, flicking a lightning bolt that uppercutted Constantine straight into the sky. 

"Phhh–!" Constantine spit out, being launched upward at ludicrous speed. 

Ascending through the sky was a feat of minimal effort for Jett in his current state, moving as lightning itself as he pierced the height of the skies in a mere moment. 

As he met with his opponent amidst the clouds, he clenched his fist, manipulating the thundering storm clouds as they swirled around, flashing with bubbling electricity. 

The words that left his lips came from the anguish he felt of his lost comrade, leaving earnestly and manifesting his will directly–

"Die—!" 

With his thundering scream, booming through the sky, he invoked the storm to rapidly swirl as successive strikes of lightning struck Constantine, hitting the radiant figure's body with godly might again and again. 

"Enough…I said…Enough—!"

–Even while being struck by divine lightning repeatedly, Constantine' adamantine endurance displayed itself as he freed himself from the continuous smiting, unleashing a burst of supreme heat from his body. 

["Solar Flare"!] 

The emission of star-born heat from Constantine' body expanded outward like a nuclear bomb, forcing even the thunderous clouds back and forcing Jett to raise his guard. The sky rumbled from the mixture of volatile forces, and once again, they stood off, but only for a moment–

"I'll show you how much I've been taking it easy on you!" 

Constantine' proclamation came as he was engulfed in a radiance unlike any other, presenting speed that seemed to bypass the limitations of physical matter as he swirled around as a whip of bright-orange plasma, leaving trails of fiery explosions in his wake. 

"--!" 

The authority of [Zeus] came with its own perks; one of which being heightened reflexes that allowed him to perceive Constantine' godly speed and even to match it as he shifted himself with the essence of lightning, igniting a chase amidst the sky. 

As they soared quickly through the clouds, he flicked lightning bolts towards the solar-imbued figure while Constantine responded with condensed beams of solar energy that aimed far, ripping through clouds. 

"--I tried to do this the easy way, but you didn't listen! Nobody else to blame but yourself!" Constantine yelled out. 

"Didn't I tell you before?!" Jett yelled back in response, blitzing through the sky as rays of lightning followed, "--Shut up and die!" 

In that moment, he raced across the sky, zigzagging and crossing miles in a mere second as he encircled Constantine multiple times before getting the drop on him. 

The might of [Zeus] condensed itself into his fist as the rotation of the storm itself coiled around his fist like a superconductor, taking the radiant reincarnator by surprise at the burst of speed. Wielding such energy in his fist, it caused the complexion of his limb to shift entirely in that moment, glowing brightly with the azure complexion of lightning. 

["Exile From Olympus"] 

Merely moving his arm invoked the colossal, continuously brewing storms to howl in reverence. Slamming his fist down against the cheek of his loathed foe, he emitted the blinding, pale flash of lightning as a rippling shock wave, commanding a construct of the erratic energy that took the form of a dragon's head, snatching Constantine into its jaws as it dragged him back down to the ground. 

"Nnngah…!" Constantine let out, stuck within the jaws of the ethereal beast of lightning as he struggled, "--Let go!"

The frustration of Constantine birthed itself through an evocation of heat, unleashing a flare of heat that matched the sun's own, disintegrating the construct of lightning as he slammed his elbow against it and tore its jaws away from himself. 

–Yet, just as the man known as the "Erupting Sun" freed himself, a flash was glanced in the solemn store above before thunder roared, casting down a lighting bolt that revealed itself as Jett himself, descending with his fist as the anchor that brought Constantine back down to the ground. 

The impact upon the valley below, an unknown distance from the region the battle now began, resulted in a massive crater and a quake throughout the land. It was an unrecognizable region, one of stone trees and primordial mountains. 

In the newly-formed crater, he kept his hand pressed down against his foe's head, keeping Constantine buried against the crumbled stone as sparks of electricity coiled around his fingertips. 

"This is it," Jett said as his irises housed the light of Zeus. 

"...Like hell it is!"

–Muffled by the stone, Constantine growled out before suddenly displaying enough strength to lift himself against Jett's own push, slamming his knuckles against the ground and shifting it into molten. 

"--!" 

Jett was forced to leap up just before the acre around Constantine was completely erased by the unequaled heat he produced. 

"Fine! I admit it! You're strong–as you are now, you're a match for me. I can admit that," Constantine said, building the heat around himself as steam poured off of his body, rippling like the winds of a chaotic storm, "--But that's all the more reason I need to kill you! If I let you continue on, you'll get too strong, and if you're against us…That isn't happening." 

["Supernova Shift"] 

Flexing his body, Constantine embodied the very epithet of "Erupting Star" as his internal heat was brought to its maximum, causing his complexion to mimic that of a boiling star as a pillar of steam erupted from his position. 

"This is a true battle of "Reincarnators"! Let us carve this battle into the flesh of Fantasia, shall we?!" Constantine called out.
