EPISODE 325; THE RUPTURING! KNOWLEDGEABLE HOUSE OF THE WHITE LIGER! UNSEALING THE LIMITERS OF THE ETERNAL TITAN TEMPUS ROMA! THE SECOND BARRIER! INTEGRATING THE ZODIAC SYSTEMS INTO THE ETERNAL TITAN TEMPUS ROMA! THE CELESTIAL SKILL TREE PART V; ACCLIMATIZING TO THE ELEMENTS! THE HUMAN BODY! HOST TO THE ELEMENTS! THE BONES, THE HAIR, THE NAILS AND BLOOD! HOST TO THE EARTH! TEMPUS ROMA MODE TURTLE WARSHIP!
Mitsuki and Tempus Roma now stood within the Crucible Of Earth.
"Now it's time for you to start acclimatizing to the Element Of Earth within your body. Remember, the Element Of Earth is hosted by the Bones, the Hair, the Nails and the Blood" Tempus Roma reminded Mitsuki.
Mitsuki noted that the Walls within this Crucible were armoured.
"Why are these Walls armoured?" Mitsuki asked.
"If they weren't they wouldn't survive this Training Session" Tempus Roma said.
Mitsuki gulped.
"You'll have to take this trial a little more seriously as well Mitsuki. Lose focus for an instant and you may not survive" Tempus Roma said.
Mitsuki gulped a second time.
"TEMPUS ROMA! MODE TURTLE WARSHIP!" Tempus Roma called out as her body gradually increased in Mass without distorting in form.
Then all of that Mass seemed to consolidate within her giving her a slender but more muscular appearance. Golden Armour coated her body and her presence became more imposing. The Armour wasn't something she wore but appeared to have fused with her body. Tempus Roma's expression became more serious as she assumed a fighting stance.
"BLITZ FORCE! THRUST FORTE!" Tempus Roma roared as she took three massive sprinting steps forward and thrust herself into the air towards Mitsuki. "BODY REINFORCEMENT! MASS CONSOLIDATION!" she roared as her mass and weight greatly increased without altering her appearance.
Mitsuki's gut tightened just before Tempus Roma's thrust and she dived out of the way causing Tempus Roma's attack to narrowly miss her but just before she could regain her balance, Tempus Roma's force had already carried her towards the Walls at the edge of the Crucible.
"REVERSE ALIGNMENT!" Tempus Roma called as she aligned her body in reverse and landed on the Walls.
She crouched and focused energy into her legs. Her Bones greatly strengthened to endure the force of the pressure and the excess energy flowed through her Blood and Spine into her Hair and was released causing her Hair to spark and grow. This in a sense hinted at the fact that her body's regenerative abilities had greatly increased. Just as Mitsuki was about to regain her balance, Tempus Roma thrust herself towards Mitsuki like a bullet fired from a gun by using the Walls as a gunsling. Mitsuki couldn't regain her balance in time and fell to the ground. Her fall was fortunate for her for a moment too late and she would have been impaled by Tempus Roma. Mitsuki quickly activated her Zone Perception to calculate Tempus Roma's trajectory just as Tempus Roma realigned her body in reverse and landed on the opposite wall crouching to lessen the impact of the force flowing through her body. The excess energy was discharged from Tempus Roma's hair. Mitsuki's Zone Perception revealed to her that Tempus Roma was aiming for the roof next. In less than an instant, Tempus Roma was headed for the roof aligning her body in reverse and thus landing on the roof with her feet. She was facing Mitsuki who had fallen on the ground directly from above. Mitsuki quickly rolled out of the way and somersaulted to her feet just as Tempus Roma thrust herself towards her.
"BLITZ FORCE! TEMPORAL GATES!" Tempus Roma called out as a Portal materialized on the floor at Mitsuki's former position.
Tempus Roma flew through the Portal and Mitsuki instantly felt a rush of Wind behind her. She quickly somersaulted out of the way just as Tempus Roma sped past her. A Portal opened ahead of her and Tempus Roma flew through it.
"Her speed increases with each thrust! There's almost no room for me to maneouvre. It's almost as though she has formed a grid around me with the cumulative thrusts of her body. I'm going to have to attempt to match her force! Tempus Roma! Allow me to borrow some of your strength!" Mitsuki called out as massive images of the Elemental Pools materialized within her mind.
She visualized the Energy in the Pool Of Earth flowing into her Body and strengthening her Bones, Hair, Nails and Blood. She felt her body strengthen as a wave of tension flowed through her entire body. She sidestepped to evade Tempus Roma's next attack. Her speed had increased dramatically and her reaction time allowed her enough room to evade however she also noticed something odd. Waves Of what appeared to be Magnetic Energy flowed in the trajectory of Tempus Roma's attacks right before her thrusts. Just as Tempus Roma approached her with the next thrust, she sidestepped and deflected Tempus Roma's attack with a Palm Thrust to Tempus Roma's body causing Tempus Roma to alter trajectory. Tempus Roma disappeared into a Portal to correct her aim. Mitsuki could feel a Magnetic Force flowing from behind her and somersaulted out of the way. She landed on her feet and took three massive sprints forward as Tempus Roma blitzed past her.
"BLITZ FORCE! THRUST FORTE!" she called as she imitated Tempus Roma's initial thrusts.
She was soon blitzing through the air along with Tempus Roma. They were like wrecking balls chasing after each other rapidly through the air until they began to clash multiple times. Whenever they clashed, the force of the released energy would rock the crucible. The two would use the repulsive force of their clash to fly towards the walls and align their bodies in reverse to aim at each other once more. Each clash raised the pressure within the crucible dramatically. The excess energy flowed through their hairs causing their hairs to grow, glow and spark releasing the excess energy and indicating the dramatic rise in their bodies' regeneration rate. With their final clash, they somersaulted in reverse and landed on their feet, the force carrying them further back than they had intended till the friction of their feet acting on the ground caused them to coast to a halt in reverse. They breathed in deeply and released the excess Mass and Energy from their bodies causing their features to reverse.
"You've finally got a feel for Turtle Warship Mode. It appears you were able to activate your sense of Magnetic Perception allowing you to sense the Magnetic Energies emitted by my body just before each thrust. Well done" Tempus Roma said.
"Tempus Roma Mode Turtle Warship seems to be a reinforcement type forte allowing one to raise the force of their Body's Attacks by consolidating Mass and increasing Momentum. If not for the enhanced regeneration rate of my Body in this Mode, my entire body would have been in agony by now" Mitsuki realized with a sigh.
