The legendary warrior

This was the most powerful move in Ricky's repertoire, and he wasn't sure he could withstand it. Even if he could, he was barely able to defend himself.

His prospects were made worse by the fact that he had to spend most of his energy activating the zone.

"I have never felt the power of my trump card. Now's the time to do so," Ricky murmured, his eyes sparkling with sheer fighting spirit.

Taking a deep breath, he concentrated every single ounce of power on his Ultimate Golden Body and activated the Massacring Holy Patterns to defend himself.

He didn't use the chromatic energy from the mysterious axe to shield himself since he needed it to activate the new zone.

"So, your plan relies on you using the chromatic energy to activate the zone. You're going to lose! And if you don't admit defeat, you will die. I'd hate to see you lose, but I must beat you. Paul compels me to do that. I am sorry,"

the Ricky from the River of Time said.

By the time these words had left his mouth, he had already created a suppressing lotus.

This lotus rushed towards Ricky at full pelt.

The latter's golden body was covered by numerous Massacring Holy Patterns. As if it could sense the incoming attack, it let out a soft growl. The next moment, all his powers merged into one and gathered on his arms. Ricky crossed his arms over his chest to withstand the attack of the lotus.

Boom!

An enormous explosion resounded across the Combat Space and a powerful shockwave spread out from the point of impact. Both Ricky and his opponent disappeared beneath the mushroom cloud that was now covering the entire area.

As the dust settled, a drop of blood was visible at the corner of Ricky's mouth.

He was getting weaker with every passing second.

He rolled in the air and his persona from the River of Time followed him closely.

"Ricky, either admit defeat or use the chromatic energy from the mysterious axe to defend yourself. Otherwise, you will definitely die!" the Ricky from the River of Time warned as he prepared himself for the next attack.
