Gunner's expression became colorful when he saw the stats of the fused person formed from the twin ninjas. Even though the two had mediocre stats among Grandmasters minus their great luck and speed, potara fusion was potent enough to help them in this regard. 

It added their stats together and then multiplied them within a range of 5 to 10 depending on the compatibility of the two beings, and since they were twins who chose the same path and even had the same level, of course, their compatibility was the highest. 

Like the two saiyans who used it, their stats were multiplied by a factor of 10 straight up, leading to the current impressive numbers that caught up to Darius' group and even slightly surpassed them! 

Of course, none of the Branded Servants nor Darius had allocated their over 5000 free Ability Points yet, so it wasn't exactly a crushing superiority, but it was enough to make Darius' eyes flicker with thought. 

If such fictional items could be bought and used in reality, then what was stopping him from buying the body of a Supreme Kai and using flesh to stone to create endless copies of them? After letting them increase their power greatly using all the systems of Faust plus the Ki system of their native universe, he would then merge them with the potara and gain a permanently fused super fighter with exponentially increased stats! 

This path was worth walking upon later when he was done with his work on Pan. For now, he continued to watch the confrontation up above with a calm smile. 

Gunner grinned widely and cricked his neck before squaring his feet. "As I am now, I am not your match but…" 

He bent forward slightly and a green aura exploded from his legs upwards to his head, covering his whole body in the purest earth element energy. 

"I can rise to the occasion!"

Gunner's danger value increased greatly and everyone within range was blown back, some sent flying. The cultivators below were directly pressed to the ground like a bug that had been stepped on, unable to even raise their heads. 

Only the fused fighter and Darius group were able to remain steady, but even they felt heart-palpating power. Darius especially was emotional, as he could not remember the last time Gunner was forced to use Earth's Guardian. 

Hmm, actually he did, it was to deal with Beelzebub back then. The other Grandmaster bugs were not much of a threat, but Beelzebub had been an immediate worry that Gunner had to deal with in this form. 

With the current boost, Gunner's Power had gone from 1600 to 20,000 and the same occurred for his Constitution. If he couldn't destroy an entire continent barehanded before, he definitely could now. 

Gunner relaxed his aura slightly but the green glow that covered him was a fixed addition to his current form. He glanced at the fused fighter with enthusiasm in his eyes and spoke deeply. 

"Tell me, what is your name?" 

For the first time, the fused fighter spoke in a voice that was both of the twins overlaid upon each other. "I am the fusion of Shin Jukuri and Shin Hito… you can call me Shin Hikuri." 

Gunner nodded. "Fine name. Let the battle begin!" 

Before he moved, Gunner naturally wanted a proper ambiance for his fight, so slotted in an OST from the True Supreme System and played it out loud, which stunned all onlookers as they looked for the source. 

[Now playing: West City (Destroyed) Stage by Takanori Arima // Dragonball FighterZ OST.] 

Even Shin Hikuri was stunned by the song that radiated both blood-pumping will to battle and a desperate battle for survival as if the winner takes all. However, he did not have time to continue being stunned as Gunner launched at him. 

"Pay attention!" The half-giant roared as he threw a punch forward, one so potent that the atmosphere itself shook. 

Shin Hikuri's danger sense roared at him that despite his fused stat and his increased power, if he took on that hit, he would likely die immediately if not be on the verge of death. As such, he quickly used the shunpo technique to escape, walking through the sky while the world had turned into a slow-motion painting. 

When the world resumed, Gunner completed his punch, and the place he struck cracked like it was a piece of glass struck by a baton. While it did not break, the resultant hit caused an extreme shockwave to burst out from the cracks that obliterated the area within a 45-degree cone of where Gunner punched. 

What was horrifying was that the shockwave didn't erupt once, but maintained an intense, tearing gale for over 10 seconds before slowly dying down. 

All onlookers paled greatly when they saw the sheer power of Gunner's attack, and the various cultivator powerhouses and remnant members of the Houto group quickly flew down to the outer sect area, not daring to remain airborne again. 

Actually with such power, nowhere was safe but they all assumed that Gunner would not attack his own territory with the same force. 

Gunner's eyes narrowed. His foe was faster than him but many times and he was tempted to allocate his stats into speed so he could catch up, but he held back. His current defense and constitution meant that no matter how hard Shin Hikuri hit him, he would never do any damage. 

However, both of them were in a timer. Gunner's current Willpower stat was 2400 and the calculation for MP recovery had changed from one's numerical level per second to Willpower divided by one's numerical level and the result was recovered per second. 

At level 41, Gunner regained 58.5 Mp per second and the current Earth's Guardian cost 75 MP per second. In other words, he was losing 16.5 MP per second, and out of his total of 8733, he had about 8.8 minutes until his MP run out and he had to wait for it to recharge or drink a potion to recover. 

As for Shin Hikuri, because of his perfect compatibility, his fused state could last for an hour at most and would decrease with the more power he displayed. 

In other words, Gunner had to defeat this foe within an hour despite his own handicap, because if they defused, Darius would just purchase another set of Potaras for them to use again. 

Or Gunner might just teach them the metamoran fusion to save money. Though that one was far more chaotic and stronger, yet weaker in terms of stability. 

However, he was unsure if they could do that right away or needed to buy the technique from the True Supreme System to validate it. 

Whatever the case, the pressure was on. Gunner had not felt this for a long while, which led to his growing apathy and boredom, but this was it. While Darius may not necessarily crave pressure and like to take things slow, Gunner was the opposite. 

He wanted to battle like there was no tomorrow, trading blows with someone who could kill him or pressure him so that he could feel the weight of his life and mortality. 

Shin Hikuri glanced at the cultivators and Houto group who went down and seemed to be thinking something. In the end, he made some handsigns and then placed his finger to his mouth. 

"Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!" 

The fireball was truly humongous thanks to his increased magic stat and it hurtled toward Gunner menacingly. Gunner smiled widely and then charged forward to the shock of everyone, punching the fireball head-on. 

After all, let us not forget this beautiful skill, that formed Gunner's foundation: 

Defense for the duration of its activation.]
