Infinite World: Random Characters, Start with Red Archer

"Tch... This is really annoying!"

Having been tricked and beaten like this, Tornado now needs to rest for a while before she can use her telekinesis to leave, which makes her very irritable.

But she had to act quickly, because that guy named Payne had already sent people to find her and Genos.

.........

"The power of epitaphs?"

"It seems the only way is to launch a large-scale attack that leaves you with no way to avoid it."

Payne said coldly as he watched Han Ming dodge several attacks in succession.

The fact that he managed to escape even when surrounded by the Hungry Ghost Path, the Asura Path, and the Human Path makes it hard to explain the situation.

Against an enemy who can see the future, all he can do is expand the scope of his attack so that the enemy cannot escape even if he knows the future.

"Ok?"

Having witnessed the astonishing scene, Han Ming, controlling the Crimson King, elbowed the approaching Kaz and then activated Time Deletion without hesitation.

In the stillness, he saw Payne raise his hand...

"A second, prolonged Super Shinra Tensei?"

"Such a luxury in a world without energy systems..."

"Where does chakra come from?"

Undoubtedly, the future that the epitaph once again foreshadows is a desolate basin.

The vast ecological area, resembling a meteorite crater, demonstrates an extremely destructive force.

This participant was much stronger than he had anticipated...

He can use "Super Shinra Tensei" for more than ten seconds.

It was clearly a deleting of his work.

After all, Diablo will not be harmed during the deletion process.

Even if you use a move that deals damage over a wide area, it's meaningless if you can't overcome the time limit.

Diablo will safely evade him...

Payne's fighting style was simple and brutal...

Unleash a move that exceeds the time-deletion duration, causing him to instantly die on the spot when the time-deletion ends.

"Unfortunately, I had a 20-second window to delete it."

"This ten-odd seconds of continuous Super Shinra was still a bit lacking."

The time that can be deleted completely covers the effect range of "Super Shinra Tensei".

Han Ming was not worried about what would happen next...

There's no need to use the Hogyoku to activate "Ultimate Time Delete"; the normal time delete is enough to deal with Pain.

"!"

Open your eyes wide, and you'll see that the surrounding environment has completely changed.

Payne knew that he had successfully released his Super Shinra Tensei.

Meanwhile, Cordiapollo was still full of energy not far away.

Doubts arise in the mind.

(My Shinra Tensei lasted at least fifteen seconds...)

(Could his time deletion be even higher than this?)

Having quickly grasped the situation, Payne did not rush to take further action.

If you've just used up so much chakra and there's no feedback, that's already a very damaging thing.

After all, the "Super Shinra Tensei" is just a matter of a moment.

He needs to release it continuously, which would be a huge "waste" of chakra.

The decisive action was taken to quickly finish off the opponent, but it would be somewhat unbelievable if the opponent wasn't killed.

He was extremely suspicious that he might have "missed the mark," so he was also feeling a bit troubled.

"They'd rather sacrifice the other Paynes to kill me."

"You're quite ruthless, but unfortunately, you still don't see far enough."

The other Pain members were completely obliterated under the relentless bombardment of "Super Shinra Tensei".

So now only he and Pain are left facing off one-on-one on the field.

But Han Ming knew that this was not a loss for Payne.

The vision he had foreseen told him that the three dead Payne would soon be resurrected in Hell Path to hunt down Tornado and Genos.

Throughout the entire battle, Pain of the Deva Path never allowed the Hell Path to participate in the fighting, instead riding a large, psychic bird and soaring far away from the battlefield.

(I wonder if he has a similar original form to Nagato.)

(Diapolo doesn't have a power specifically for sensing energy.)

Looking at the enemy's familiar face, Han Ming also tried to guess his situation.

If the Six Paths of Pain before us are all being controlled by someone from afar, then defeating these guys would be pointless.

If you don't find the true nature of things, you're just wasting your time.

But if the opponent's character card is "Pain", does that count as the main body?

Han Ming was unclear about the specifics of this matter, since Diablo was not from the world of Death or anything like that, and did not possess any kind of counter-detection properties against energy.

If it were Aizen's character card, he might be able to trace the chakra transfer back to its source.

But Diablo couldn't do that...

This is simply because the character does not possess such an ability.

(The Rinnegan can indeed see substitutes, so you can't assume you can do whatever you want just because the other person can't see you.)

It's not surprising that a Stand formed from spirit and life energy could be witnessed by the Rinnegan, which is why Han Ming played very conservatively from the beginning.

To avoid being ambushed by the various Pains, he mainly focused on dodging and only attacked when the epitaph clearly indicated that he was able to strike.

(But the first priority is to figure out his chakra situation...)

(If that barrier can be breached, the Six Paths of Pain without chakra are nothing but wooden stakes.)

The biggest problem with characters with energy-based abilities is precisely this.

It can employ all sorts of unconventional attacks, but once its reserve energy is insufficient, it will become powerless.

Han Ming has experienced the state of not having "blue" in training several times.

Using a Servant card like Archer (Red A) can even cause physical collapse in the Bleach world due to excessive consumption.

Payne, in a similar position, is likely no exception.

Without chakra, he was unable to use any ninjutsu.

The opponent has already unleashed a powerful move like "Super Shinra Tensei," which consumes a lot of energy. If Han Ming can press the opponent a few more steps to exhaust their reserves, he believes he will have the advantage in terms of bare-handed combat.

He raised his hand and opened it, and the gravitational pull came towards him, but Han Ming remained unmoved and let his body be pulled closer.

He activated the time-deletion function only when he was close to Payne.

By utilizing the principle of "invincible frame", one can easily ignore the subsequent effects of "all-encompassing celestial pull".

"Boom!"

He circled behind him, summoned the Crimson King, and swung his fist.

The moment the time-deletion ended, the attack was about to land on the back of Payne's head.

"Humph..."

But the sudden repulsive force forced Han Ming to retreat.

His figure appeared several meters away...

And this is already the result of deleting the time.

"Can you still achieve that level of precision?"

Looking at Payne in surprise, Han Ming spoke up.

He noticed that the released "Shinra Tensei" did not appear to be a circular, expanding type.

Rather, it includes a gradual and continuous outward impact.

Just like the previous long-duration "Super Shinra Tensei", this is also a type of continuous release.

Its power is many times more terrifying than the normal "Shinra Tensei".

If he hadn't deleted the file and run away, the moment they made contact, he'd probably be turned into a pancake like he'd been hit by two giant A-class ships...

"What's so strange about exploring a character's deeper, extended abilities?"

"Didn't you do it too?"

In response to Han Ming's astonishment, Payne simply said indifferently.

Diablo was proving to be more difficult to deal with than he had anticipated.

The future seen in the epitaph puts the other party in an invincible position.

Even if he tries to probe with various offensive methods, he will be detected and forced to dodge.

Seeing the future is fine, but the most troublesome thing is that there are corresponding configurations that make it difficult to know where to start.

Predictive + Timely Deletion...

Faced with this combination, even Pain, with his power, felt a sense of powerlessness, like punching the air.

What made Payne even more troubled was that this guy's time-deletion ability was too unfathomable.

(If his timeout lasts longer than fifteen seconds...)

(Then I'll have to gamble with all my chakra.)

Thinking about this, he still hesitated a little.

The remaining chakra is enough for him to unleash a "Super Shinra Tensei" that lasts for nearly twenty seconds.

This was also the most powerful one...

Enough to completely renovate this basin...

The problem is, if Diablo manages to dodge it again using the "invincible frame" of time deletion, then he'll be in trouble.

Without chakra, if it comes down to taijutsu alone, he believes he can only fight the Crimson King to a standstill.

This is without any other interference... If the other party uses the epitaph and time deletion to launch a sneak attack from behind, he cannot guarantee that he will be able to counterattack in time every time.

Therefore, Payne hesitated...

Should they unleash all of Pain's chakra for a single, devastating attack, or should they continue to stall, allowing the other Pains to capture Genos and kill Tatsumaki as their primary objective?

(If we could crush him, that would be a pretty good deal, since there are ways to recover chakra afterwards.)

(Keeping him around would be very dangerous...)

If you encounter a participant with whom you don't get along well, you usually won't let them cause trouble.

Nobody wants to live a guy who can't be managed.

(If you want to suppress it, you should ask the hell realm and the animal realm to help...)

Having established a general strategy, Payne should now know how to conduct the operation.

"Ok?"

Han Ming was not in a hurry when he felt the other person's sharp eyes staring at him.

The reason he dared to confront Payne was because of his unique abilities.

As long as he relies on foresight and time-deletion to "turtle" him, even if Payne uses all his skills, he may not be able to do anything to him.
