The medallion-like carving on Black Star's left chest begins to open, and a glowing red pattern forms around the medallion's rim and in the center, forming a slanted plus sign. Reddish-black flames began to burn at all over damaged parts of Black Star's armor, and the damage to the armor gradually regenerated. Black Star could immediately behave normally, as if nothing had happened, causing the man in the cloak to shock as he thought.
“Damn, even my ultimate attack had little effect on him?”
The man in the cloak had the idea to continue the attack, but he was out of mana, he then thought.
“I'd better drink the Mana Potion, now.”
Just about to do something, the man in the cloak again felt a surge of energy radiation in front of him, causing him to be startled, and by reflex, he went into a stance ready to attack and defend.
There was very thick energy radiation in the air around the two of them, and coming from the Black Star, it made the man in the cloak's breath slightly labored.
“Damn, he did it again. The more my Fatigue Points increase, this situation can become fatal.”
Black Star said.
"I admit your greatness. But, I refrain myself enough just to see all your attacks.”
The man in the cloak was taken aback as he thought.
“Refrain himself he said?”
Black Star concentrates the energy radiation around him that is centered on him, then returns to him.
“Second Stage.”
Simultaneously, a massive and very strong wind blast of energy that centered on Black Star blew away the man in the cloak; he used his cloak to deflect this wind blast of energy, so he could still stand on his two legs and alright, while some of the glass panes from the row of windows on the first floor of the Pentagon building shattered. The man in the cloak thought.
“Damn, I already guessed it must be tough just to be able to keep up with him, let alone to defeat him.”
On the other hand, something else happened to Black Star.
The additional armor on Black Star's side shoulders, elbows, and wrists widened, as well as every joint of the armor on his body moved and expanded, making the armor all over his body take on a more ferocious shape. Red lines and patterns are formed all over Black Star's armor; his eyes shine brighter than before, and his head's flat and thick horns enlarge and rise upwards. The hair on his head, which was made of something resembling black flames, waved to the side, becoming as long as his tall body length. The man in the cloak was surprised to see the changes in Black Star.
“Damn, there's no point in me continuing this battle of endurance, I'd better run away first and make other plans. Open Inventory”
Immediately afterward, a black panel with images arranged in columns, rows, and white writing appeared in front of him:
[Inventory]
[Mana Potion x1] [Smoke Bomb x5] [Safe Town Portal Medallion x1]
The man in the cloak touched the [Safe Town Portal Medallion x1] image, and the black panel in front of him changed to just an image and white words:
(An image of a golden medallion as wide as an adult man's palm with a symbol engraved on both surfaces)

Item Effect: Break the medallion to activate the portal. After channeling for five seconds, the user will be teleported to Safe Town.

[Discard]
The man in the cloak inserts his right hand into the medallion image, which then penetrates this black panel; he then pulls out his right hand, now holding the medallion in the image earlier. The black panel before him then changed what it displayed:
[Inventory]
[Mana Potion x1] [Smoke Bomb x5]
The man in the cloak said.
“Close panel”
The black panel in front of him disappeared. The man in the cloak immediately gripped the medallion so tightly that it shattered. A circle-shaped symbol appeared under the man in the cloak with him as the center; beads of light resembling fireflies started flying all over and around his body.
Seeing that something was amiss, Black Star immediately flew over to the man in the cloak with a hard starting stomp that shattered the surrounding concrete surface where Black Star was standing, causing the man in the cloak to be taken aback by reflex and then pulled the cloak towards the front of his body with his left hand. It didn't take long for Black Star to close the distance with the man in the cloak; Black Star immediately punched the man in the cloak. The man in the cloak's precise timing made Black Star's fist only hit the cloak, which immediately created a wind blast that was much bigger than before, so that the soldiers watching from a distance felt the effect, even making them falter. One of the soldiers said.
“Fortunately, we didn't recklessly charge towards them….”
His other comrades also felt lucky, with frightened expressions on their faces.
Back at Black Star, he was standing in front of the man in the cloak, with his right fist still stuck to the outer surface of the cloak. Seeing the man in the cloak remain unmoved from his attack, Black Star was shocked again. The man in the cloak said.
“Until we meet again.”
The entire body of the man in the cloak turned into white light and scattered into light particles resembling fireflies; these light particles began to disappear rapidly until nothing was left. Black Star is now standing alone while lowering his head slightly.
“Of course, we will meet again…”
Black Star raised his head again and looked towards the front.
"Because I added you to my attacks targets list."
Black Star looked up.
"First Stage."
The armor on his body returned to how it was before.
"At the next encounter, we'll see how far you can withstand my attacks."
Black Star flew upwards very fast with a hard starting stomp that shattered the concrete surface he stood on and a wind blast that spread in all directions. After Black Star was very high in the sky, he changed his flight direction horizontally, which caused a wind blast in the sky. Black Star flew farther and farther away until he was finally out of sight.
United States, Pentagon Building
Go back a few days before. In one of the meeting rooms inside the Pentagon building on the fifth floor. This room is spacious, with a long black table and rows of black ergonomic chairs, and rows of windows on one side of the room. At the end of the long black table is a large screen attached to the wall, whereas at the other end is a large projector screen that hangs in one corner of the room. The Secretary of defense sits at one end of a table with a large screen displaying the emblem of the United States Department of Defense; he sits with his back to this screen. The Secretary of Defense, a middle-aged man, wearing a black suit, is meeting with defense department officials wearing Military General uniforms to discuss a negotiation plan with Black Star. In front of everyone present here is provided with a laptop. The Secretary said.
"As we already know, under the direct order of Mr. President we will be discussing our plan to invite Black Star to negotiate after the shocking thing he gave us yesterday."
The Secretary pressed a button on the small remote in his hand. The large screen behind him then displays a video of Black Star sitting on a throne-like tall black armchair with a background in a vast grayish black room with grayish black high ceilings and black blocks of pillars connecting the ceiling and floor of this vast room and has a pattern of abstract lines all over the room. At the end back of this vast room goes straight through to the outside and reveals a view of the bright blue sky and white clouds. Black Star said.
"I want to submit a file detailing my attacks plan against several potentially dangerous targets on Earth to the United States Department of Defense. This file submission is a form of respect from me as part of a citizen of the United States; I hope you all will not hinder any form of action related to my plan."
The video changes to a black screen and ends. The Secretary of defense said.
"And here is the file he sent us."
The screen showed a document entitled "Hero or Villain," the details were labeled "Top Secret" by the United States Department of Defense. This document shows brief bios of many targets that Black Star will attack. The Secretary said.
"As you can see, these lists contain people with the reputation of being heroes or villains from various parts of the world. But the first problem wasn't how he would attack these targets but how he got their information. Some of them are even saved in our Top Secret document, which alone can be concluded that he committed a high-level crime by stealing the information inside the document."
