Medusa couldn't believe what she witnessed. The boy she denounced as nothing special was actually capable of killing that monster. Not only that, he also had the potential to use Ultra Instinct. Just as Medusa slightly moved her foot to leave the area, her eyes widen in horror as Nagisa was suddenly in front of her as his sword was just an inch away from her head.

"VECTOR PLATE ×12!!!!!"

Suddenly Nagisa was launched back to where Kuusetsu was by twelve Vector Plates as Medusa was breathing heavily. As she placed her right hand on the right side of her head, she felt a little bit of blood from just a few inches above her eyebrow. This was the first time Medusa truly feared for her life as Mahoraga merely killed a doll she was using at the time. But now, this fight she witnessed confirmed one thing. Tomioka Nagisa was a growing threat who hasn't reached his peak.

"Guess I'll try to take Kuusetsu with me before that creature reaches her location."

As Medusa said this, she began to fly in the air as she heading back to Kuusetsu far faster than Nagisa. She knew she had to reach the God of Thunder as fast as she could. Nagisa hasn't left his Ultra Instinct state yet, so if he appeared before Kuusetsu, this would be a major loss.

~During the fight between Daniel and Nagisa~
Moments after Nagisa was swiftly taken away from the battlefield, Kyouka and Yuuki both lunged towards Kuusetsu. As Kyouka swung her blade and Yuuki threw a punch at her, Kuusetsu easily caught both of their attacks and threw her attackers away from her. While Yuuki landed harshly on the ground, Kyouka landed on her feet as she was launching her next attack.

As quickly as Yuuki got back up, Kuusetsu punched the boy in his gut as he was now on the ground and writhing in pain. Just as Kuusetsu looked at Yuuki, she sat on the boy's stomach as she licked her lips.

"You think you can fight a god with just that? Just so you know, the fully powered forms of the other gods of thunder are stronger than mine. Now then, Wakura Yuuki, since Tomioka Nagisa isn't here I guess i'll finish what I started with you instead in our current forms. You will sleep with me."

Just as Shikoku said that, she was suddenly kicked away from Yuuki as she crashed into the ground. As Yuuki and Kyouka looked at the person who arrived to attack Kuusetsu, they saw Tenka standing with her as the mysterious figure took off her cloak as she looked at the god of thunder.

"I will shoot down....."

As Aoba looked at Kuusetsu, she could sense it. Both Naon and Koko's life force were inside of Kuusetsu. However, Kuusetsu merely laughed off this situation as she did the unthinkable. One after another, Kuusetsu began to clone herself using Mira's ability.

~Present Time, in Washington D.C~
"Reinforcements being sent to Yokohama have been complete, Ren-sama."

As she was currently in Washington for important matters, Ren was talking to Ginna about the Yokohama situation. Tenka was sent to assist Yuuki and Kyouka, while Maia and Tobera were to search for Nagisa. While Ren sat down in her chair, she asked Ginna something that was on her mind.

"Did Maia and Tobera find Tomioka Nagisa?"

"Yes, they were high in the air thanks to Maia-san's ability and they even managed to get footage of Nagisa's battle with another one of Medusa's supposed experiments."

As Ginna said this, she sent the footage that Tobera sent her over to Ren. As Ren was watching the fight between Daniel and Nagisa, she was walking outside as she was preparing to assist the people in Yokohama from here in Washington D.C.

"Amazing.....amazing. Nagisa, you had this kind of strength all along! Since Kyouka has Yuuki as her slave and Tenka also has her eyes on him, maybe I should make you my pet instead."

As the shockwave was travelling the globe, Ren made sure she launched it in a way that it would be hit any aircrafts. While the government officials who were with her were shocked by her display of power with relative ease, Ren simply watched the video of Nagisa's fight.

~In Yokohama~
"You seem to be interested in the shuuki in the sky, right Yuuki?"

Kuusetsu couldn't believe her eyes. In just one attack, the shuuki she was saving was destroyed in an instant. However, her focus shifted when she felt someone touch her right shoulder. When she looked to see who it was, she saw it was Medusa as the woman was sweating.

"Medusa! Did you ki-"

"Kill everyone here, incapacitate them, or whatever. But as soon as you do, we have to run."

"Run, but why?"

"If we don't, HE will show up and we're all going to di-"

~On the Bridge~
"There's a lot of them, so buy some time."

As Tobera said this, Maia quickly made a giant pair of hands around herself and Tobera as Kuusetsu's clones launched their feathers at them. Since the feathers destroyed her hands almost instantly, Maia kept bringing out new hands to act as a tank. By the time Kuusetsu's clones stopped attacking, they saw Maia and Tobera were still standing.

"Haha, how tough, but you're already so worn out! Time to finish you u-"

"Thanks, Maia. I'll take it from here."

As Tobera took the last clone's life force on the bridge, both her and Maia knew their side of their task was done for the moment. Soon Tobera felt something hit the top of her head. When she looked upwards, she noticed how it was beginning to rain.

"Now with the majority of clones out of his path, he should reach their location faster now."

~Meanwhile~
As a few of Kuusetsu's clones tried to attack Tenka, she swiftly made portals between them as its range kept growing until it engulfed the clones that were attacking her. While Kuusetsu watched this, she noticed how badly her clones were moving. It seems she needed more time to adjust to Mira's ability.

While she was thinking this, she saw Aoba in front of her trying to land a punch on her face. Kuusetsu swiftly punched Aoba in the gut as she sent the humanoid shuuki flying. Enraged by this, Yuuki suddenly lunged towards Kuusetsu with Kyouka on his back. More clones appeared in front of them, only for Kyouka to cut each of them down. When Yuuki looked forward, he saw that the real Kuusetsu was gone.

Slowly, the real Kuusetsu was seen rising from the ground as she stabbed Yuuki in his right hip with her claws. Seeing this, Aoba used her hair to keep Kuusetsu in place as she lifts her into the air. Then, using all of the strength that she can muster, Aoba released an enormous beam from her mouth as she blasted Kuusetsu.

Seeing that Kuusetsu was still in the air, Tenka tried to attack her, only for her to teleport away as she barely escaped being stabbed by one of Kuusetsu's clones that was hidden in the ground. It seemed Kuusetsu's gotten the hang of using Naon's ability to hide within objects. Now she's letting her clones hide in the ground and launch sneak attacks.

As she landed on the ground, Kuusetsu now stood before Kyouka and Yuuki. While the clones are keeping the reinforcements occupied, she was planning on dealing with Yuuki and Kyouka herself. Seeing this, Kyouka and Yuuki only had one option.

"Yuuki, use Skyward, we don't have any other option. Make sure to put it to full use!!!!"

"YES!!!!"

Soon Yuuki began to become engulfed in a bright light. Seeing this, Kuusetsu looked around for Medusa, only to see the woman had already escaped. Seeing that she was alone in this fight, Kuusetsu merely smiled as she looked towards her opponents.

"So that's your ace in the hole."

"How many cloud peaks have come tumbling down upon the moon's own mountain."

Following Skyward, Kyouka spoke a chant to release her brain's limiters. It was a technique to enhance her body's movements, one she prepared for her fight against the Eight Gods of Thunder. Seeing this, Kuusetsu decided to give it her all too. Using Mira's ability, Kuusetsu cloned her arms to a numerous degree to increase her attacking power.

"........."

Suddenly, it felt like the entire world came to a stop. The anti-demon corps, Kuusetsu and her clones, everyone came to a halt. It was for a moment, but that one moment told them everything. If they moved, they were going to die. If they interfered, they would die. Right now, as this one man stood on the battlefield, one fact was spoken in everyone's mind.

This man is death given form.

Despite how much damage he took, this man was the biggest threat on this battlefield. Despite how much he fought earlier, everyone felt like they could die by his hand at any moment. Being the one to finally open his mouth, Yuuki began to ask the question on everyone's mind when he looked at his best friend's eyes.

"Is that you...........Nagisa?"

No words were spoken as Nagisa's eyes fell upon Kuusetsu. Right now, the war genius merely took a stance that was neither Fist of Flowing Water Crushing Rock or his signature hand-blade. Right now, Tomioka Nagisa was about to do the impossible. As he was in Ultra Instinct, he decided to copy one more person. However, what the boy did went beyond copying him. Right now, as he took the same stance as the man he considered a master, Nagisa was copying said master at his prime.
