Bruce didn't hesitate. He had already been gathering mana inwardly, drawing directly from his infinite reserve, compressing it silently and perfectly.
The moment their hands met, Bruce did it.
'Soul Shatter.'
The command was instantaneous. The attack bypassed flesh, bypassed mana, bypassed defenses meant for the physical world, slamming directly into the red soul.
Adoni's expression changed instantly.
For the first time, shock cracked through his composure.
'Impossible,' he thought sharply. 'A soul skill?'
In that same instant, Adoni released his aura and domain explosively, but nothing happened. His eyes widened slightly as realization struck him like a delayed blow.
Bruce already possessed immunity to Bane's domain. And Bane's aura.
Adoni's soul was fully awakened. SSS-ranked. Unlike the Cthulhu soul Bruce had destroyed before, a severed, incomplete fragment, this was a complete, whole existence.
Because of that, the resistance to Bruce's Soul Shatter was immense.
