"All of you! Every single one of my remaining bodyguards!" the old man commanded with urgent desperation that carried clearly over the continuing rumble of destruction. "Join this fight immediately with everything you have! Deploy all of your ultimate techniques simultaneously!"His voice became more frantic as he elaborated on the critical nature of their situation."I don't care what it costs us personally or organizationally - use your life force transformations, your death row attacks, whatever it takes!" the old man continued with growing panic. "We cannot allow this monster to survive!"His final command carried the weight of absolute authority and desperate fear."Make absolutely sure that this bastard doesn't leave this place alive! He must die here, right now, regardless of how many of you we have to sacrifice to accomplish that objective!"At that moment, upon hearing the desperate command that the old man had just delivered with such urgent panic and authority, upon process

At that moment, hearing what the old man had just declared with such confident finality about Jason's inevitable end, hearing the detailed explanation of the tactical deception and strategic manipulation that had characterized the entire engagement up to this point, Jason responded with what could only be described as genuinely impressed acknowledgment mixed with his own tactical revelation.Jason literally smiled at the old man with an expression that showed authentic respect for sophisticated combat methodology and strategic thinking that had exceeded his initial assessment of what this elderly opponent might be capable of accomplishing against someone of his caliber."Well, I definitely didn't initially assess you as possessing this level of tactical sharpness and strategic sophistication," Jason admitted with the tone of someone whose professional evaluation was being revised based on superior performance than anticipated. "I genuinely thought that perhaps you must have become sig

His expression showed cruel satisfaction as he elaborated on the inevitable consequences of successful penetration."The wound I have inflicted carries properties that will ensure your systematic destruction even if you somehow manage to avoid further direct attacks," the old man continued with growing confidence in his ultimate victory.At that moment, observing Jason's injury and recognizing that his tactical analysis had been correct about finding a method to overcome Jason's adaptive capabilities, the old man decided to reveal the final phase of his ultimate technique and the true reason why this wound would prove fatal regardless of Jason's demonstrated resilience."Well, I am confident that you have already figured out the true nature of what I have accomplished," the old man said with the tone of someone explaining inevitable defeat to a superior opponent. "But your understanding has come too late to prevent the consequences or develop effective countermeasures."His smile beca

At that moment, upon hearing what Jason had just said with such casual confidence and patient amusement, upon processing the dismissive tone that suggested Jason had been merely tolerating the old man's strategic calculations rather than feeling threatened by whatever tactics might be developed, the old man's jaw literally tightened with renewed fury and humiliation that exceeded even his earlier emotional responses.His weathered face contorted with expressions of rage so intense that decades of disciplined emotional control completely evaporated in the face of what he perceived as intolerable disrespect and mockery from someone who should have been showing appropriate deference to his accumulated experience and organizational authority.And he literally couldn't believe the audacity and disrespect being displayed by this good-for-nothing young opponent, this arrogant little brat who was literally showing such casual confidence, literally raising his metaphorical shoulders in dismiss

His voice carried the desperate confidence of someone who was preparing to deploy capabilities that had been held in reserve for exactly this kind of impossible tactical situation.At that moment, having made his declaration of continued resistance despite devastating injury and tactical disadvantage, the old man literally committed to going completely berserk and pushing his enhancement to absolute theoretical maximums regardless of the fatal consequences such escalation would create for his already compromised physiology.His decision to deploy maximum berserk enhancement represented the abandonment of all restraint, survival instinct, and tactical conservatism in favor of generating whatever devastating force might still be sufficient to overcome Jason's demonstrated superiority through sheer overwhelming power deployment.Then, all of a sudden, as the old man's berserk transformation began and tremendous spiritual energy started building within his damaged form, the entire immedia
