Jeremiah made the first move. He transformed all his limbs into lightning and started running at lightning speed.

  *ZZZZRRRRRTTTTT*

  In mere one millisecond, Jeremiah has already arrived behind The Pharaoh.

  "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHH!!! FOOOOLLKKSSS!! JEREMIAH JUST MOVED VERY FAST THAT IT LOOKED LIKE HE TELEPORTED TO OUR EYES!!!"

  "THE LIGHTNING TRANSFORMATION SURE IS DANGEROUS!! NO WONDER JEREMIAH IS IN THIS TOURNAMENT!!"

  "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHH!!!"

  "JEREMIAH-SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNN!!!"

  "KYAAAAAAAAHHH!!! HE'S HANDSOME AND DANGEROUUUUUUUUS!!!"

  The commentators and the audience cheer towards Jeremiah.

  "Shock kick!"

  Jeremiah swings his transformed right leg towards Pharaoh's side of the head.

  "SHAAAAAAAAAAA!!!"

  The giant snake interrupts his kick as it swings its tail against his kick.

  *ZZZZZZZZRRRRRRRRRRRTTTTTTTTTTT*

  The giant snake was zapped by electricity from the kick. Its tail and Jeremiah's kick got pushed back by each other's force. They were both sliding away from each other, creating a 5-meter distance. Jeremiah's limbs return to normal.

  "Hohohoh! I must say I couldn't even react to that movement of yours, Jeremiah-san! Luckily, my snake's instinct predicted your movement. Without it, I could never hope to match your speed."

  "Thank you for the compliment, Pharaoh-san! But this is just the beginning!!"

  Jeremiah lifts his right leg and transforms it. He stomps the arena floor below, and electricity zaps everywhere coming from his leg.

  *ZRRRRRRTTTT*

  Jeremiah fills the entire arena with electricity. Anyone who stands inside will be zapped by 50-volt electricity.

  "Don't worry, Pharaoh-san! The electricity won't kill you, as it is against the rules! I only aim to paralyze you to secure an easy vic---!!!"

  As Jeremiah talks, he looks towards the Pharaoh and finds that the Pharaoh is nowhere to be seen in the arena.

  “Eh?”

  Jeremiah immediately looks upwards. He sees the Pharaoh is standing on the snake's back, flying in the air. The snake has a pair of dragon-like wings growing on its back.

  "Impressive, Jeremiah-san!! Against someone who cannot fly, you would've won easily!!"

  "I didn't expect that snake of yours to fly, Pharaoh-san!!"

  "Ahahahaha!! My exact same thoughts when I first awakened this Faith power!! Can you fly as well, Jeremiah-san?"

  "Ahahahaha!! I do! Let's make this match entirely a sky battle!!"

  Jeremiah transforms his back and a pair of wings with a futuristic aesthetic made of lightning appear. Each of his wings is a long, pole-shaped lightning in a darker blue coming out of his back, and on each pole, there is a blade-shaped lightning in a lighter blue across 2/3rd of its entire length, and there are 6 pole-blades in total.

  Jeremiah flies up high towards the Pharaoh's level of elevation.

  "Jeremiah-san! My turn to be aggressive!!"

  "You're welcome to do so!"

  Jeremiah transforms both of his forearms into lightning. The giant snake flying in the air opens its jaw wide.

  *SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH*

  It spews out a thick, purple, poisonous gas. The poisonous gas quickly filled the entire stage and almost completely cut out visibility from the outside. The poisonous gas was contained inside the fight stage as it was blocked off by the ring-out barrier.

  *!*

  "That's bad!!"

  Jeremiah quickly transforms his mouth and nose into pure electricity to prevent inhaling the poison.

  "(My life should not be in danger, but I'm sure this poisonous gas is going to hinder my movement or something.)"

  Under the thick cloud of poisonous gas, the Pharaoh and his giant snake slither through it towards Jeremiah.

  "SHAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!"

  The giant snake opens its jaw wide in front of Jeremiah. It bites Jeremiah, but he catches its fangs with his transformed hands. The giant snake was immediately electrocuted on contact.

  *ZZZZZZRRRRRRRRRRRRTTTTTTTTTT*

  "SHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!"

  All of a sudden, another snake head that is a lot smaller in size approaches Jeremiah from the side. The smaller snake's head bit Jeremiah on the shoulder.

  *!!*

  But his shoulder transformed on contact, and it electrocuted the smaller snake's head as well.

  "UAAAARRGGGHH!!!"

  The snake's head is connected to the Pharaoh. It was actually his own right arm that transformed into the smaller snake's head as per the ability of a Summoner type Believer.

  "UAAAAARRGGGHHH!!!"

  "OOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHH!!! JEREMIAH GOT BOTH THE GIANT SNAKE AND THE PHARAOH HIMSELF WITH HIS LIGHTNING!!"

  "WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!"

  "JEREMIAH-KUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNNN!!!"

  "NOOOWW!! WHAT WILL THE PHARAOH DO IN THIS SITUATION??"

  "UUURRRRGGGHHH!!!"

  Under the intense electricity flowing through his entire body, the Pharaoh toughens himself up not to lose his consciousness.

  "(UURRRGGGGHHH!! How do I escape from this? His electricity is strong!!! I can’t think properly!! Nor can I move my body!! I feel numb!)"

  "SHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!"

  "We'll finish this quickly, Pharaoh-san!!"

  Jeremiah throws the giant snake towards the electrocuted ring below.

  "SHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!"

  *ZZZZZZZZZZZZRRRRRRRRRRRRTTTTTTTTTTT*

  The giant snake was zapped by electricity even further down on the ring. Jeremiah grabs the smaller snake head on his shoulder with his transformed right hand. The Pharaoh continues to be electrocuted.

  If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

  Jeremiah pulled the Pharaoh closer towards himself. He positioned himself below him and threw the Pharaoh down towards the ring as well.

  *!!!*

  "(Not good!)"

  The Pharaoh was flying through the air downwards really fast towards the arena. Jeremiah doesn't stop; he follows after the Pharaoh with his lightning speed. He appears right above the Pharaoh with his right hand transformed, clenching into a fist.

  "SHOCK FIST!!"

  Jeremiah punches downwards and hits the Pharaoh on the stomach.

  *ZZZZZZZRRRRRRRRRRTTTTTTTT*

  *!!!!*

  Or at least that's what he thought would happen. A hard, solid surface suddenly appears between Jeremiah and the Pharaoh.

  "OOOOOOOOOOHHHHH!!!!"

  "W-WHAT IS THIIISSSS?"

  "EEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH?!?!?!"

  The solid surface was actually a rock. A giant, hard, yellow rock suddenly appeared between the two of them.

  *GRRAAAHHHKKK*

  The rock suddenly breaks in a small area at the center, forming a small hole, and from the hole, a human hand comes out.

  *FWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM*

  The hand opened its palm, and Jeremiah was suddenly showered with a flamethrower at close range.

  *!!*

  "WHAT?"

  Jeremiah crossed his arms in reflex, as well as transforming them.

  *BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM*

  The flame came into contact with his lightning and created a loud and big explosion.

  "UUUURRGGGHH!!!"

  The explosion cleared all of the poisonous gas from the arena.

  Jeremiah was launched upwards by the explosion. After flying through the air for a few seconds, he recovered himself with his futuristic lightning wings.

  "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH!!!! WHAT WAS THAT??? I THOUGHT THE PHARAOH'S FAITH POWER WAS THE GIANT POISONOUS SNAKE??"

  "WHAT IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW, LADIES AND GENTLEMAN???"

  "Hoooo!!! That guy is a rare occurrence!" said Lukia.

  "Lukia-chan? Do you know what this is?"

  *GASPS*

  Everyone in the audience gasped and was left speechless. They have no idea what just happened as well.

  "LADIES AND GENTLEMAN, IT SEEMS LIKE LUKIA-CHAN KNOWS WHAT IS HAPPENING!!"

  "What on earth was that? I thought he was a Summoner type!! How did he create that rock and that flame? Did the snake do that?" said Jeremiah.

  Jeremiah looks downwards towards the ring.

  *!*

  He was surprised that the electrocuted arena was no longer there. The entire arena was covered by a giant layer of smooth yellow rock, and the Pharaoh was standing at the center of it. The giant snake from before was also no longer anywhere in sight.

  "Mind explaining yourself, Pharaoh-san?!"

  "Hehe, I'm the type to show, not tell!!"

  The pharaoh floats above the rock and slowly flies higher towards where Jeremiah is.

  *!*

  Jeremiah was confused about how on earth did the Pharaoh could just casually fly without his snake.

  The Pharaoh summons his giant snake again. The giant snake sprouts its wings and floats next to him as its long body also circles the Pharaoh. The Pharaoh puts both of his hands to the side with his palms open. On his right hand, a fireball appears, and on his left hand, the same yellow rocks that he's been using appear, floating in small sizes.

  The flame moves above the Pharaoh's head while the yellow rocks float downwards to the front of his feet. They moved as if they were both placed on a rotating wheel. On the Pharaoh's right hand, water spheres appear out of nowhere, while on his left hand, a sphere of fast-spinning wind forms out of nowhere.

  "This is my Faith power, Jeremiah-san!!"

  "What?"

  "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHH!!"

  "THE GIANT POISONOUS SNAKE? FIRE? WATER? WIND? AND ROCKS? DOES HE HAVE FIVE FAITH POWER ALL AT ONCE, LADIES AND GENTLEMAN??"

  "That is a very rare phenomenon. In this entire planet, this type of Believer is even rarer than Believers with a Special type Faith power by a very large margin. A person with two Faith powers at the same time! They are called Hybrids or just Hybrid in singular form." said Lukia.

  "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! WE GOT SOME JUICY INFORMATION FROM LUKIA-CHAN!!!"

  "But, Lukia-chan, you can clearly see he has four other elements in his control next to his giant snake! You said Hybrids are someone with two Faith powers? How can this be, then?"

  "I have a feeling that all of those elements are just one Faith power, but hey, I can't say for sure!! But here are the facts! Hybrids are rare!! They are not even 0.00000001% of the entire population!! Out of 8 billion ppl on the planet, the rough estimation is that their numbers aren't even passing 100. They are THAT rare!!" Lukia explains.

  "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH??"

  The audiences were shocked at Lukia's revelation.

  "And second, given how small the percentage of Hybrids is, Believers with more than two Faith powers are simply illogical! That's my point!" adds Lukia.

  "Aaaaaahhh, so that's how it is?!"

  "FOLKS!! HE IS WHAT YOU CALL A HYBRID!!! A BELIEVER WITH TWO DIFFERENT FAITH POWERS AT THE SAME TIME!!!"

  "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

  The audience awes at the same time. They have never seen such a thing before. The term Hybrids or Hybrid, after all, is not exactly public information. It falls more into the category of an urban legend because of the scarcity of its population. Most Hybrids aren't exactly showing themselves to the public either. They hide their presence and choose to live in secrecy to blend in amongst everyone else.

  "Hybrid?"

  "That's correct, Jeremiah-san! As expected of someone from the Ten Commandments of God! She knows her stuff!!" said the Pharaoh as he glanced towards the commentators' room.

  "Wow, this is gonna be tough!!"

  "That is true, Jeremiah-san! You are tough!"

  "What do you mean? I meant that as a compliment towards you!"

  "I was also complimenting you, Jeremiah-san! You see, I never planned to reveal this this early in the tournament! I planned to at least reveal this hidden power at the final match as a trump card! This goes to show how dangerous and strong you were, Jeremiah-san!!"

  "Hahahaha! You flatter me too much!"

  "I mean it, Jeremiah-san! This tournament is great! It really is a stage where the strongest of the strongest gather together from all around the world!! I am happy I can be in this stage! If I can come out on top, I can finally show the world that I am a god!!"

  "You have a very eccentric goal, Pharaoh-san! But I won't judge you! You can do as you please with your life after all!!"

  "Ahahahahaha!! Is that so? Well, let's give the audience a very exciting entertainment, shall we?"

  The Pharaoh enters his battle stance as his giant snake is ready with its venomous fangs, while the four elements floating around him increase in size a little bit.

  Jeremiah transforms his forearms into pure lightning and enters his battle stance as well.

  The Pharaoh's other Faith Power is called Nature Force, a Special type Faith power. He can use all four powers of the main natural elements, Fire, Water, Wind, and Rock. This Faith power acts similarly to an Elemental type, but it doesn't have the Source as a weakness. The drawback is that each usage of his elements is very limited, though this drawback can easily be countered by having multiple elements available at the same time.

  The Pharaoh strikes first.

  *FWOOOOOOOOOOMMMM*

  He opens his right palm and sends a flamethrower towards Jeremiah. Jeremiah moves through the air at lightning speed and completely dodges the flamethrower.

  The giant snake acted on instinct and hurled itself towards Jeremiah with its jaw wide open. Jeremiah transforms a bit of his right leg, and he kicks the giant snake at lightning speed.

  "SHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!"

  The giant snake was sent flying towards the edge of the arena and went past the ring-out barrier. The giant snake falls outside the arena below.

  Jeremiah continues to fly in the air at lightning speed. He approaches the Pharaoh and appears instantly diagonally above and in front of him.

  Jeremiah prepares another kick with his transformed right leg. He kicks the Pharaoh right in the side of his head, but the Pharaoh creates a yellow rock wall, covering the side of his head.

  *!*

  The yellow rock, on contact, breaks into tiny pieces and swarms Jeremiah's transformed right leg. Jeremiah's right leg is now covered by small yellow rocks that have significantly increased its weight.

  "WOAAH!!"

  Jeremiah immediately loses his balance. His right leg is overweighted by the yellow rocks. The Pharaoh was ready with his next attack. He swings his right, straightened palm vertically, with flame covering his forearm.

  "FLAME BLADE!" the Pharaoh screams.

  "OH NO!!"

  As Jeremiah was trying to balance himself in the air, he hurriedly faced towards the Pharaoh's incoming attack. He crosses his transformed arm to block.

  *BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*

  Another loud and big explosion occurred on contact. They were both sent flying towards the ring-out barrier.

  "(DAMN!!)"

  Jeremiah recovers himself in time when his back barely touches the ring-out barrier, while the Pharaoh stops himself by creating a burst of air explosion behind him to counter the momentum he was on, and he successfully stops himself from a ring-out.

  Jeremiah sees an opportunity. He sped blitz towards the Pharaoh in milliseconds. He immediately prepares a punch with his right transformed hand.

  "(Oh no!!)" said the Pharaoh in his mind in panic.

  The Pharaoh instinctively creates another burst of air explosion. The explosion sends the Pharaoh flying downwards, while Jeremiah is sent flying away towards the same position he was in when he touched the ring-out barrier.

  The Pharaoh lands on the yellow rock below. He split the entire yellow rock in half. He lifts the half of the yellow rock where he stands on, and it floats towards the sky.

  "Time to do my specialty! Prepare yourself, Jeremiah-san!!"

  "Come at me, Pharaoh-san!"

  They both give each other confident and joyful smiles. They are the ones who are having the most fun in this fight.

  The Pharaoh breaks the entire yellow rock under him into tinier pieces of rock. The tiny pieces of rock move and float towards the Pharaoh's entire body, covering it in full. His body is now clad in armor made of yellow rocks, leaving only his face and his joints across his body uncovered. Some of the rocks also form into a 1.5-meter-long spear in his right hand. The Pharaoh gathers wind at the bottom of both of his feet to stay afloat in the air. His flame gathered and condensed into the blade of his spear, engulfing it in raging fire. He gathers his water to form a ring and floats around his entire body at his chest level.

  "This is my Ultimate form minus Second State! I only pull this move when I'm finishing off my opponents! But I must use this against you to win, Jeremiah-san!"

  "It's an honor then, Pharaoh-san!! I'm flattered!"

  Jeremiah extends both of his transformed hands to the side and opens both of his palms.

  "SHOCK CAGE!!"

  *ZAP*

  *ZZZZZZZZRRRRRRRRRRRTTTTTTTTTTT*

  Blue electricity flows and spreads out from both of his transformed palms. The electricity branches out and fills the entire arena with branches of electric bolts, connected with one another, floating in the air in random directions with no specific patterns. Its only purpose is to limit someone's movement.
