In anime, fighting requires strength!

If you want someone to die, you will look for an opportunity to do it.

There will not be any fluctuation in my heart after killing someone.

If I have to say...

Killing someone for him is like stepping on an ant while walking.

Even worse than this.

His murderous intent is only aroused when it is directed against himself.

But killing yourself...

Even though the Sultan tried very hard to think, he still couldn't muster any murderous intent!

Not to mention using murderous intent to drive power!

He was stuck at this step!

For him, this step was even more complicated than the lock that the man left for him!

So during this time, he kept sitting here and thinking about the past in his mind.

Recalling every battle I fought.

Gouki said that he chose to kill himself in order to become stronger...

indeed.

In order to become stronger, he challenges the strong and fights regardless of the consequences.

After failing to find a strong person, he also chose to forge the bones of his entire body before he crossed over...

Oh, and there’s rigorous training!

If you must say, these are all ways to kill yourself.

But what drives you to do these things is that you want to die?

Absolutely not...

That is to say, he was doing this with another idea in mind, and when he took action, because he was not naturally afraid of death, he emitted murderous intent towards himself.

This is the truth of the matter!

Yes!

Therefore, it is not advisable for me to keep thinking about actively provoking murderous intent. Instead of fully utilizing my own strengths, I am opening up a new track, which will only get me stuck!

What I need is not this, but the same as before, more natural and casual...

With this thought in mind, the Sultan, who had been sitting here, finally took action!

He lowered his head and slowly stood up. Black smoke rose around him as he moved, and his hair fluttered wildly with the rising murderous intent!

When he raised his head, a black shadow covered his entire face, with only his eyes and smiling mouth still visible!

The desire to become stronger, or to become the strongest, drives everything he does!

As long as he can achieve his goal, even sacrificing his life is fine for him, as he is not born with the fear of death!

Go forge!

Go burn!

Try your best to surpass the strong and climb to a higher position!

The hegemonic intention drives the power, and the murderous intent sharpens it!

For ordinary strong people, if they want to push the strongest power, they need the strongest and purest emotions!

Especially when fighting against the strongest.

They don't have only one strong emotion, but in order to maximize the emotion that drives them and prevent themselves from losing to the other party, they will often only erupt one emotion to the maximum extent at the same time!

Exceptions are only made in some special circumstances.

Sudan is different.

He only promotes the idea of ​​dominance, so it is strong and pure!

But the stronger his desire for dominance, the stronger his murderous intent towards himself!

In such a situation, even if he pushed out his strongest power, the emotions that were aroused were two kinds of emotions that burst out at the same time!

It’s just that the Sultan didn’t realize this before, so he never took the initiative to use it in battle!

But now he understands!

So...

"It's time to go find Gouki and fight him~!"

......

34. Sultan vs. Akuma

Gouki's location has not changed during this period, it is Kowloon.

During the day he could occasionally be seen selling fruit on the streets, never concealing his whereabouts, just waiting for the Sultan to come find him after he figured things out.

So when Sultan, who had regained his original appearance and was wearing casual clothes, stood in front of the fruit stall, Gouki held his knees and slowly stood up.

“Nice look…”

He stared at the Sultan for a moment and then spoke first.

"...Let's go."

Hearing him say this, the Sultan turned in a certain direction.

"I'll lead the way."

"it is good."

...

Sultan and Akuma are not ordinary fighters, so if they want to fight, they must not do so within the city.

So Sultan brought Gouki all the way to a deserted place, and then he turned into a black shadow and began to accelerate!

His sudden acceleration without any warning made Gouki snort lightly, and he also turned into a black shadow and followed him!

Two black shadows ran all the way out of the city through a deserted area, just like a race!

Or in other words...the battle begins at this moment!

Because as they accelerated, Sultan and Gouki's ki collided and rubbed against each other, and finally soared into the sky along with their fighting spirit!

The originally clear sky was covered with thick clouds under their will. Lightning flashed through the clouds from time to time, but let alone rain, there was not even a sound of thunder.

In such a strange climate, even the pedestrians on the street became instinctively irritated.

“It’s so boring!”

Finally, someone couldn't hold it in anymore and shouted in the street, then followed his instinct and moved away from the direction of Sultan and Akuma.

After someone started doing this, many others followed suit. Even many of those who lived here returned home.

Even those who are forced to work are in very bad condition.

Ordinary people have been affected, so it is impossible for fighters not to know what is happening here.

The fighting spirit rising into the sky was like the sun falling to the ground to them. It was impossible for them not to notice it!

So the fighters who had been paying attention to this battle for a long time were now contacting each other, and Chun-Li, who knew where the Sultan would choose as the battlefield, told them the location, and then they prepared to go watch the battle together!

Ken drove off directly, Gouken found Long from the mountains, Chun-Li and Jamie were with the December troops, and Dou-Subaru and Gen were on the same route. Even Rose and Sagat, who had been working with them on the Kage-Ra issue, set off together...

In short, although the Sultan chose a huge wasteland in a remote area for this battle, there were definitely a lot of people watching!

And they are all fighters.

They just want to see who will win, the Sultan who defeated Vega, or Akuma who dared to challenge him after the Sultan showed his strength!

And the one who wins should be the strongest in the world right now, right?

Many of them think so.

After all, they took the initiative to assist Sudan when he was playing against Vega, and they recognized Sudan's strength at that time.

The only exception is Gang Quan, but Gang Quan would never say too much about such things.

Secondly...

He rushed to the battlefield with Long and met up with the others. Looking at the two figures who had stopped and were facing each other in a stance - he found that he could not see through any of them!

Gouki is not the same as before.

All that madness and murderous aura were now suppressed by him. Even though black smoke was coming out of his body, not a single bit of it was revealed!

And Sudan’s side is even more weird!

Not only was there a dark aura coming out of his body, his face was also dark, and he had a smile that was not twisted.

but...

His black face now is even scarier than his previous ghost face!

With his hair flying and his eyes glowing red, if someone who doesn't know him sees him, everyone will suspect that he is the final boss!

Or the type whose goal is at least to kill all humans!

Gangquan couldn't even tell whether the Sultan was 'possessed'!

There had never been a moment that made him feel older than this one.

And just as he was sighing inwardly, the Sultan and Gouki who were confronting each other raised their momentum to the maximum!

Then...

boom!

In just a moment, both sides rushed towards each other using Ashura Flash!

The black afterimage tore through the air, and the next moment, Sultan and Akuma collided!

And when the scene of their fists colliding appeared, the roar that seemed to shake the earth and the sky finally rang out.

boom!

The "thunder" that had been silent for a long time exploded on the earth, and then it was repeated again and again!

Boom boom boom!

The sound continued to come out, continuously, without any rhythm, but it was like a war song coming from the distant sky!

No defense, all offense!

Sultan's fist and Gouki's fist flew towards each other, and collided with each other every time!

The black smoke formed by the murderous waves was biting each other!

During this process, Sultan and Gouki's punching speed became faster and faster, and their strength became stronger and stronger!

In fact, you don’t need to be a very skilled fighter to be in such a situation. Even a novice who has not seen much of the world, as long as he has some knowledge of fighting, can see that the two people on the field are just testing and warming up!

But what makes most of the fighters watching the fight feel ashamed is that they can’t even participate in the warm-up!

As early as the fifth punch, if they were either of these two people, they would probably have been in the tragic situation of being beaten unilaterally!

But for the Sultan and Akuma...

The warm-up has just ended!

Gouki puts his back foot firmly on the ground, bends his front foot, and presses his entire upper body forward!

He used his waist to drive his back, and then his shoulders, raised his right fist, and seized the opportunity when Sultan retracted his fist, and punched out fiercely!

The punch he threw this time was different from the previous ones!

Although the black smoke surrounding his arm did not fluctuate much, the Sultan, who was on the other side of this punch, felt that this fist contained something completely different!

Not with greater force, nor at a faster speed.

Only the Sultan's logic sensed the subtle change in Akuma's emotions!
