Life force.
Energy intensity.
Physical strength.
Under Shiko's perception...
Every one of Mewtwo's attributes was steadily increasing.
This gradual rise continued for more than ten seconds.
And when it finally stopped...
Mewtwo's combat power had reached an utterly terrifying level.
It had completely surpassed the strength of ordinary First-tier Legendaries.
Even the strongest First-tier Legendaries were far inferior to the power Mewtwo was now displaying.
If Shiko had to find appropriate examples for comparison...
Then Mewtwo's current combat strength was already comparable to Primal Kyogre and Primal Groudon...
Mega Rayquaza...
As well as Origin Forme Dialga, Origin Forme Palkia, and Origin Forme Giratina.
It had surpassed the level of power confined to a planet's surface...
And entered the cosmic level.
In the past, an existence at this level would have been considered one of the strongest beings beneath only the Creator God, Arceus.
The steel armor covering Mewtwo had already almost completely shattered.
Only inertia and some strange form of energy attraction kept the remaining fragments attached to its body.
Not only did the armor no longer restrain Mewtwo's strength...
Some mysterious interaction between Mewtwo and the shattered armor now seemed to be strengthening it even further.
In this state...
Mewtwo had already reached the same level as the strongest legendary beings and gods found throughout the various worlds.
Smack!!
HerculesKabuterimon beat his wings.
His golden body shot several hundred meters diagonally upward like a meteor.
The instant he came to a halt...
His enormous horns began to glow.
The faint radiance rapidly intensified.
Until they shone as brilliantly as a blazing sun.
Then...
HerculesKabuterimon vanished from sight.
He plunged diagonally downward at a speed completely impossible for the naked eye to follow.
Boom!
A piercing sonic boom tore through the air.
The atmosphere itself distorted from the extreme heat generated by friction.
HerculesKabuterimon's attack resembled a blazing meteor falling from the heavens.
Its momentum was terrifying!
Yet Mewtwo...
The target of that devastating attack...
Simply raised its head.
It glanced upward from the corner of its eye.
By the time Mewtwo lowered its gaze again...
HerculesKabuterimon had already closed the distance to barely four meters.
Boom!!
Perfect timing.
The instant Mewtwo extended its arm...
HerculesKabuterimon's enormous horns slammed into its palm.
An attack powerful enough to seemingly pierce through heaven and earth...
Was forcibly stopped by a single white hand.
It was as though HerculesKabuterimon had crashed into an indestructible wall.
His entire diving momentum was brought to an abrupt halt.
How was that possible?!
Everyone watching was nearly stunned speechless.
The visual impact of HerculesKabuterimon's attack had been extraordinary.
It looked like a miniature sun crashing down from the sky.
Just seeing it was enough to understand how devastatingly powerful it was.
If HerculesKabuterimon had used this attack during his previous battle...
He probably could have defeated Zapdos instantly.
And now...
Even considering Mewtwo's accumulated exhaustion from the previous fighting, taking such an attack without suffering any damage should have been extremely difficult.
But!
Reality gave everyone a brutal answer.
Mewtwo had simply raised one hand...
And effortlessly stopped the attack.
Was this some kind of joke?
Had this creature really become that powerful?!
HerculesKabuterimon refused to give up.
He continued forcing his horns against Mewtwo's palm.
The potential energy and momentum behind his charge were gradually exhausted.
HerculesKabuterimon slowly began to feel his strength running out.
And eventually...
He had completely exhausted himself.
Yet he still hadn't managed to advance even a single centimeter against Mewtwo's palm.
He hadn't even managed to make one of Mewtwo's fingers bend.
To HerculesKabuterimon...
That hand might as well have been an insurmountable barrier.
He had never imagined that Mewtwo could unleash such overwhelming strength at this crucial moment.
They were no longer remotely on the same level.
Mewtwo's counterattack came immediately.
There was no elaborate movement.
No devastating move.
Mewtwo simply closed its hand.
In an instant...
HerculesKabuterimon felt his entire body being trapped.
It felt as though two enormous mountains were pressing against him from both sides...
Constantly crushing his body between them.
The force was absurd.
Even HerculesKabuterimon, a Digimon whose very name represented tremendous strength, was completely unable to break free.
"Hmph!"
Mewtwo slowly exhaled.
The muscles in its palm visibly tightened.
Then...
An overwhelming force powerful enough to devastate the planet's surface erupted through its arm.
HerculesKabuterimon's body trembled violently.
Mewtwo swung him through a full half-circle as though he were nothing more than a torn sack...
And smashed him heavily into the ground.
BOOM!!
The rocky battle arena had already been completely destroyed during the previous fighting.
Now...
Another enormous cloud of dust erupted from the ground.
Dust spread throughout the surrounding area, causing spectators in the nearby seats to cough repeatedly.
When the dust finally settled...
An enormous crater had appeared in the ground.
It looked as though a meteor had struck the battlefield.
And at the very center of the crater...
HerculesKabuterimon lay completely still.
He had already fallen unconscious.
He had completely lost the ability to battle.
One attack.
An instant knockout!
And Mewtwo hadn't used a single move or special technique.
It had relied entirely on the raw physical strength of its own body.
With nothing more than that...
It had effortlessly defeated HerculesKabuterimon, the same Digimon who had previously left everyone with such a powerful impression.
The entire stadium remained frozen in silence for a long time.
Eventually...
Everyone mechanically raised their heads.
They looked at the white figure floating in the sky.
For the first time...
The concept of a god became something tangible in their minds.
Too powerful.
This was strength that seemed to belong to another dimension entirely.
Something that shouldn't exist on this planet.
At that moment...
Everyone who witnessed the scene finally gained a clear understanding of what the strongest cosmic-level First-tier Legendaries truly represented.
No longer were they merely vague beings described in ancient records and primitive murals.
Now...
Everyone had witnessed that level of power with their own eyes.
"Hahahahaha!!"
Maniacal laughter echoed throughout Team Rocket's ruined base.
Giovanni was laughing so hard that tears appeared in his eyes.
The combat power Mewtwo had displayed had completely exceeded his expectations.
In the original proposal for the Mewtwo Project...
Their expectations for its eventual strength had been far more modest.
If Mewtwo could reach a level comparable to Mew, they would already have considered the project an enormous success.
But now...
Not only had Mewtwo reached their original goal...
It had surpassed it by an unimaginable margin.
Mewtwo had actually reached the strength of a cosmic-level First-tier Legendary.
A level Giovanni wouldn't even have dared imagine in his dreams.
With a Pokémon this powerful under his control...
Conquering this planet would be nothing.
Team Rocket's ambitions no longer needed to end with a single world.
Their ultimate goal could be dominion over the entire universe!
"Everyone!"
"Immediately!"
"Recall every Team Rocket member we can currently contact!"
"All external operations are suspended!"
"From this moment onward, our only priority is creating a second Mewtwo!"
"No..."
"No, no, no!"
Giovanni suddenly shook his head.
He staggered several steps backward.
His entire body was trembling so violently from excitement that he nearly lost his balance and fell.
"What we need to create..."
"IS SOMETHING EVEN STRONGER THAN MEWTWO!!"
He practically roared the final words from the depths of his throat.
