I looked at the giant infront of me and quickly averted my sight, to look anywhere else but his eyes. I also started channeling blue and instantly my mind felt calm. Enel's Susanoo was blue with typical Oni features. On its right hand, it had a hammer that looked like Thor's Stormbreaker from the Avengers. Rather fitting for a giant of lightning. On its left hand was a chain with spikes along it's length. Ok, clearly this Susanoo is made for direct combat.
"Hahaha, I hate sounding like a typical villain but, you have no hope of beating me."
He shouted at me from inside the giant's head. I got into a ready stance and dismissed my gun constructs. 'what to do…'. Enel's threat level had just gone up, with this recent power. The Susanoo was no joke, just look at Sasuke's battle against the Raikage and his retinue. It's defense was incredible.
We were still above the sea cloud, so there was no way I could use the environment as a cover, to chip away at him. Not to mention his speed…
"Oopmh!"
My breath was knocked out of me by a too fast for me to see chain. The spikes failed to penetrate my clothes after breaking through 3 layered shields.
I caught myself in mid-air and looked around for him. He had disappeared with his crazy speed by then. Just then, I sensed something coming at me from the sky. Stormbreaker broke through 6 out of 7 of my layered shields and for the first time ever, my last shield failed to negate all of the force behind the blow. I found myself shooting down through the sea clouds.
I flapped my wings and caught myself in time. My breath was a little bit heavy. I dropped blue and channeled green to quickly heal the bruises I had gotten from the chain spikes. Left alone, my enhanced healing would have healed me within seconds but I was in an active battle that required me to be at 100%.
The clouds above me started flashing purple, with streaks of lightning in between. Another layered shield blocked a massive beam of lightning and the sound that followed afterwards was deafening. Luckily they held up against the assault and I finally figured out something important. His pure lightning attacks are weak, what I need to watch out for is his speed and the Susanoo weapon's attack.
Bolstered, I shot off towards the sky and broke past the sea-clouds only to evade a whip attack from the chain spikes. I had sensed it once it got into my range and thanks to my reaction speed, dodging it was a piece of cake. 7 layered shields blocked a slash from the axe part of the Stormbreaker.
I used the force behind it to whirl away and try to construct ropes around the giant. Unfortunately my speed was too slow and I backed away after shielding another attack. The only reason I was still standing, was because of my reaction speed and the fact that Enel fought like a brute. There was no form to his attacks.
Despite that fact however, I still hadn't hit him and I was getting a little bit frustrated.
"I expected more from you. I can't believe I ever thought of you as a threat! Hahaha."
He laughed.
"Tch, you haven't seen nothing yet."
I knew better than to respond to him but damn, I just couldn't stop myself. I channeled blue some more, quickly alternating between it and red.
"It's time to be more pro-active."
Orange constructs, began forming around me. When everything else fails, you fight a giant with another giant. The limbs began forming and I was wary of an attack from Enel but nothing came. Seems like he was content to let me power up first before beating me to prove a point. That would be his undoing.
I straightened up to my full 100 meters against his 150. My Avatar construct was still smaller than his but with the increased size I finally hoped I could at least hit him. I maintained it mentally and channeled red to coat it's entirety. My Avatar looked like a giant man with blocky features and for a second there I cringed. A good first try though, having never done this before.
We faced one another, each gauging the other's strength. My observation haki picked up on a lightning strike coming for me. It hit my Avatar and harmlessly dissipated along it's length. Enel snorted and swung his chain at me. It wrapped itself around my wrist and I grabbed tightly on to it. I pulled and the massive Susanoo was pulled along. I started to swing the chain round and round before I threw him towards the upper yard.
He crashed through the trees, leaving a dust cloud behind and loud noise before he got up. In a fast motion I found a fist encased in a spiked chain, heading towards my Avatar's face but I blocked it with my Avatar's fore arms. Having coated the whole Avatar construct in red to enhance it's agility, His speed was less overwhelming now.
"You're not stronger than me!"
He shouted as we got into a slug-fest. A slug-fest I was unfortunately losing. He was still way faster than me and if it wasn't because of how compact and tough I had made the Avatar, I wouldn't be able to fight back. Skill bridged the gap between our speeds even more and I got in a few lucky shots. They weren't doing anything though and I hoped that the stress from the mangekyou sharingan would overwhelm him enough that he dropped the Susanoo.
One thing I hadn't foreseen though, after fighting him for over 5 minutes was that my Overdrive was halfway to it's limit. I couldn't wait anymore for him to drop the Susanoo so I had to come up with a plan and fast. I grabbed the handle of the Stormbreaker and threw him on the ground over my shoulder. He changed into a streak of lightning and tried to impale me with a hand coated in lightning from behind.

My shield's stopped it and I whirled around with a kick. He streaked again and pounded a fist to my mid-section, throwing me back. We looked at each other, having reached a stalement. He was breathing heavily and the Susanoo started fading from around his body. I quickly constructed a gun and shot at him, whilst he was down on his knees.
"Argh!"
He flashed around me In even faster speed and I hastily brought up dozens of more guns around me, which was the limit of my precision. Red construct bullets started flying around, trying to hit the slippery bastard. Lightning attacks fell down ceaselessly but ultimately ineffective against me. I dropped my avatar construct but kept an active shield around me. Enel finally slumped down on the ground. Bleeding from his eyes and belly.
"Dammit, I still can't keep it up for long."
He muttered softly. I dismissed the construct firearms and directed my shield to hover infront of him. I wanted to kill him quickly to stop any more surprises from springing up but I had some things to ask him.
"How did he know I would be here? My multiversal ability is completely random…"
I stopped as I came to realization.
"It's not is it? He can't fully manipulate it to take me to a dangerous place like war hammer 40k but it's enough if he subtly guides me to a warzone between a god and demigod. That's the reason why all the places I have ended up in had stronger foes when compared to me. No…it still doesn't make sense. Those places also made me stronger, which is something I'm guessing he doesn't want. This makes no sense!"
Enel started laughing.
"Hahaha, what makes you think you can figure out his plans? He gave me enough power to be a god! And I will not fail in ending your existence!"
He was raving mad at this point.
"He did something to you too…didn't he? I don't know the kind of person you were before but think about it. Were you always this unhinged?"
I asked him.
He was silent for a while, head bowed, one hand on his belly and the other hanging loosely on the side.
"So what? Hahaha. I get to do whatever I want! So who cares if my sanity is eroded? Being a god, I get to make the rules and I say sanity is overrated."
A blue light appeared on the tip of his finger. He dragged it to the ground and a large blast of lightning slammed into my bubble shield from the ground, how is that even possible? I asked myself. The dust was obscuring my sight but with my observation haki, nothing would escape my senses.
I idly wondered why Enel hadn't been using mantra, to dodge some of my attacks. Could it be that he didn't know how to use it effectively? He had used it in a few instances but not all dodgeable attacks. All the abilities he had were after all someone else's, so it wasn't a stretch to say that he excelled in using some but failed when using others.
I jumped back after a dangerous feeling gripped my senses. Black flames suddenly covered my shields and shockingly enough started burning through them.
"Amaterasu?!"
I discarded the shields to isolate the flames and flew upwards. Things just got dire. With Enel's speed, Amaterasu would definitely land and burn me to ashes.
"Hahaha why are you running away? Come and get a taste of the ever-burning flame!"
The shields I had covered myself in were quickly getting burnt, and I had to replace them continuously. I knew I couldn't keep this up due to the mental fatigue of using Orange in such a way.
"Fuck!"
I shouted when my coat caught on fire. I quickly threw it away and encased my backpack in a construct before sending it away from me. If it got destroyed, I would lose the fruits inside that were the main reason I was doing any of this in the first place.
"Why does this always happens?! That's it, time to end this. I don't want to interrogate him anymore. Omnitrix delete the Amazonian d.n.a."
I said, planning to copy and intergrate the sharingan. To put him down for good, I needed to hit him with something that would one-shot him, without giving him a chance to pull out any more tricks from his ass. The sharingan thing had been almost too much for me to handle without going all out, I didn't want to find out he was a Saiyan or something.
"Overdrive second form:heatwave."
The familiar rush of power coursed through my veins but I wasn't done yet. I brought out the Omnitrix dial on my chest and pressed it to transform into a god-killer. The radius of my body produced heat instantly disappeared and I bulked up. My clothes felt too tight on me and a bio-electric aura encased my form. I started levitating and dismissed the shield's surrounding me burning with Amaterasu.
"Final dusk"
I didn't know how powerful I was at that moment but I knew I could break Hancock in half if I wanted to. The name felt appropriate for what I was about to do. I breathed in and shot towards Enel. Too me it felt as if he was moving in thick liquid as he shot a blast of black lightning from his eyes. This guy is actually kind of a genius, I thought as I ripped off his arms. He might have figured out a way to combine Amaterasu with his devil fruit powers but I was too fast for him now.
"Maybe you were onto something. Overwhelming power really does trump all"
I said but didn't give him the chance to talk.
I dismissed the text-box that had sprung up infront of me and thrust a hand through Enel's chest. I then brutally ripped him in two. His organs went flying and I felt momentarily nauseous. I looked at my hands and marveled at my strength. It had felt effortless, like tearing through air.
Thinking quickly I brought out yellow and wished for the rumble rumble fruit's essence to reform into one of the fruits I had in my back pack. A yellow light started glowing from my backpack and I called it to me, using a construct. I opened the zip and inside the backpack along with a change of clothes, toiletries and 3 apples was a blue fruit with small swirling black marks.
I breathed out a sigh of relief and just as I was about to check the Omnitrix, a bright ball of golden light manifested above Enel's corpse. Instantly, I felt something calling for me. My soul and body and mind and all I was, was screaming at me to touch it. I cautiously stretched out a hand and made contact.
My world exploded in pain as I heard sinister gleeful laughter in my head.
"Finally, you're mine."
