Julius-"Evolved skill: omni particle control"
Julius creates a wave of particle energy that blasts through the entire dome decompressing the water.
Lucious-"What... What just happened?"
Julius-"I rescinded the compressive force of your attack"
Lucious-"Impossible! Not only was there the immense pressure, it was filled with dark magic! I'm aware of how powerful you are, but even you couldn't undo my spell like that!"
Julius-"Before it would have been trouble but not with my new evolved skill"
Lucious-"You're evolved... Marigold was able to give you an evolved skill? Just how far are you willing to betray me Marigold!?"
Marigold-"It's not betrayal! I never owed you anything, you admitted it yourself!"
Lucious-"It doesn't matter! This battle is far from over. Evolved skill: trench leviathan"
Lucious creates multiple water hydra heads to attack Julius. The hydra heads launch forward towards Julius.
Julius-"Evolved skill: boson wave"
Julius creates a wave of energy that causes the water hydra heads to implode into compressed gas and disperse outwards.
Lucious-"Impossible. What is your evolved skill?"
Julius-"Omni particle control. It's a direct upgrade of my molecular manipulation skill. With this evolved skill I can control all 6 types of quarks, their 6 antiquark counterparts, electron, positrons, gluons, bosons, and photons"
Lucious-"Quarks? Bosons? What are those things? How did you manage to destroy my attacks?"
Julius-"I used a large group of boson particles. Those particles determine the density and mass of other particles. By using the bosons I decreased the weight of the majority of the water molecules in your attack to near weightlessness. Then due to the extreme pressure, the lighter water molecules were slammed into the smaller amounts of heavier water molecules. They imploded into a vapor that's lighter than air"
Lucious-"Particle density, I don't understand"
Julius-"It's particle physics. I guess it makes sense you wouldn't understand"
Lucious(angry)-"Are you insisting I'm incompetent?"
Voice-"Seems you've angered him"
Julius(in his head)-"That wasn't my intention"
Lucious(in his head)-"This fool is openly explaining every detail of his ability to me. But even still, I don't understand any part of what he's saying. This can't be, it's impossible. If I could just read his mind then I could get a clearer picture, but for some reason I can't"
Voice-"It's simple, you're inferior"
Lucious(in his head)-"That voice, where did it come from? Is that what Julius's voice sounds like in his head?"
Voice-"You're unable to read Julius's mind because I'm not allowing you. And this particle physics is far beyond what someone of your mediocre intelligence is capable of"
Lucious(in his head)-"It's speaking to me!? No, I'm just reading their thoughts. It seems this Julius person has two personalities within him"
Lucious-"You call me inferior, I'll prove to you otherwise"
Julius-"I didn't-"
Lucious-"Dark skill: mental anguish"
Lucious creates a dark beam that blasts towards Julius.
Julius-"evolved skill: hawking radiation"
Julius creates a small amount of hawking radiation made out of matter and anti matter particle pairs. The hawking radiation causes Lucious's attack to slowly shrink and evaporate before it reaches Julius.
Lucious-"Even my dark magic didn't work!?"
Julius-"Lucious, it's time to stop. You need to surrender now and give everyone their real memories back"
Lucious(in his head)-"Dang it! I can't believe this is happening. Why did this annoying speck get such a powerful evolved skill!? What do I do?"
Suddenly multiple slashes come down from the air on top of Julius. Julius dodges out of the way of the slashes and Adam jumps out of the trees.
Julius(in his head)-"Adam found us? Seriously? It must have been because of the large explosion of water when I destroyed the pressure dome"
Adam-"Lucious are you alright? I lost track of Julius but then I saw a large explosion of water over in this direction"
Julius(in his head)-"Yep"
Lucious-"Thank goodness you're here Adam. Julius coerced Marigold into giving him a powerful evolved skill. He's trying to manipulate her against us"
Marigold-"Adam you know that sounds absurd right?"
Lucious(in his head)-"With Adam here I can turn the tables in my favor"
Adam-"Marigold you can't listen to him. I can't allow you to get manipulated by Julius"
Marigold-"Julius is not the manipulator!"
Julius(in his head)-"Adam finding his way complicates things. I had Lucious practically defeated"
Voice-"I can handle this, do you need me to enter self preservation protocol?"
Julius(in his head)-"Absolutely not. I can handle this myself"
Adam-"It ends here Julius"
Adam holds his sword sideways and begins spinning it like he did against the barrier knight.
Adam-"With my lunar evolved skill this technique will be even stronger"
The energy accumulates around the fast spinning blade forming a full circle resembling the moon. Adam stops spinning the blade and grabs onto the handle causing the swirling energy to travel up the blade turning into a spiral. Adam is barely able to maintain control of the immense amount of power within the blade.
Adam-"Evolved skill: full moon orbital drill"
Adam leaps forward towards Julius ready to strike him with the drill.
Julius(in his head)-"The attack is slower than his rest so I can just dodge it"
Voice-"That attack has more force behind it than the one he used to create that canyon. It won't cause the same devastation however he will continue launching downwards and could get himself stuck several kilometers deep underground"
Julius(in his head)-"I'm guessing Adam doesn't know that will happen"
Julius-"Evolved skill: quark strong force"
Julius creates a large beam made of quark anti quark pairs and fires it at Adam. Adam's drill attack makes contact with the beam and begins to push through it. Suddenly the beam grows stronger and pushes against the drill attack launching Adam away and dispersing both attacks. Adam's sword was launched into a tree piercing into it while Adam was slammed into a different tree.
Adam-"That was my strongest attack! How did he counter it?"
Julius-"That was the quark strong force. It's one of the four fundamental forces in the universe. It's the energy that binds quarks together through gluons. When two quarks are separated the energy created causes two more quarks to appear. The attack I used split every pair of quarks once every nanosecond which caused the power of the attack to increase exponentially. The quarks can only exist on their own for a moment so they quickly form together into new atoms in the air.
Adam-"What?"
Lucious(in his head)-"Again? Is he making stuff up at this point, that has to be it he's saying this stuff to mess with me"
Marigold-"I've given evolved skills to many people but out of all of them Julius's might be the strongest"
Lucious(in his head)-"Even if he is making it up it doesn't matter. He's clearly become too powerful to defeat through combat. This leaves me no choice"
Lucious-"Dark skill: servant's guillotine"
Adam stands up to continue fighting Julius. Suddenly Adam falls to the ground and starts yelling in pain while grabbing the sides of his head.
Marigold-"What's happening to him?"
Julius-"Did I hit him too hard with that attack?"
Lucious-"I'd rather avoid this outcome but you've left me no choice. I've activated a skill where at any instant of my choosing I can end the lives of anyone under my control including your friends"
Marigold-"No! You can't!"
Lucious-"Of course I'd rather not do this but whether I do or don't lies with you Julius. You can choose to leave now and let your friends live. Or try to stop me and be responsible for their ends, choose quickly now Julius"
