Debris came flying from the point of impact of Enzo's ranged punch, destroying the trees around it. Rocks, soil, and dust scattered around the place. Luckily, Leo avoided it just in time.
"Damn you, Enzo!" he growled after he came out of the dust cloud. He can still see Enzo falling from the sky until he entered the peak of the dust cloud and it cleared as soon as he landed. The whole training ground is nothing but a big crater now.
"It's Enzo!" said a remaining spectator among the supervisors far from the scene using a military telescope.
"What?" exclaimed the other supervisor who stayed with him to see what's going on. "Really? Gimme that!" He looked through the telescope. They are just outside the new crater that Enzo made. "At last, we are saved!"
"Kiddo," said Enzo. "That guy has taken over you?" Leo's face looked tense as he thought he can't be seen behind the thickets outside the crater. "It has been dormant for a long time with the past Gods of Gravity, but I will put him to sleep for you."
Leo's other self-thought to himself, "This damn guy is too strong for a demigod. I've known tales about him in my past life, but I never knew he was this strong! He destroyed the whole land in one punch, and he didn't even touch it. How did he do that? The wind of his punch made that destruction? No way..."
"You got nowhere to run, Zol."
"What? He knew my name? That's right, he is the first demigod to be considered as a god. His reputation for beating gods without a Prime Power, and his strong inheritance of the Olympian Strength, allowed him to be called as the 'God of Demigods' by everyone. As expected, the Olympians know about me."
Zol answered to Enzo: "I am not running away, in fact, I will beat you!"
"Good. Now, come down and beat me."
"This guy...," he thought to himself again, while coming down the crater at a slow pace. "he intentionally provokes me. I may or may not beat him, but he's right that I have nowhere to run, because the King of Olympus knows everything just by sending a wind. That's right, The wind that blew hard as soon as I took control of this body is his doing. And it is evident that he is watching me right now. Dammit!"
Enzo is standing in the middle of the crater, and it took some time for Zol to cross the distance between the center and the edge of the crater. He stopped when he is tens of meters away from him.
"You guys couldn't just let me do anything I want, huh?" said Zol while putting up a stance.
Enzo just stood there without a caring while scratching his head. "Don't be like that to me, I was just ordered by the King."
"I have a question before we fight, is it-"
"Waste of time. Let's just end this now." Enzo looked bored while Zol looked pissed off.
"YOU ASKED FOR IT!!!" he screamed as he moved around the place in the speed of sound, creating afterimages of himself around the unimpressed Enzo. A second later, he made his move: A punch behind Enzo. "Aaaaaaarrgh!" he screamed.
"Too predictable," said Enzo and hit Zol with a powerful uppercut, right against his stomach. He flew up the sky at high speed, with blood coming out of his mouth. "You're not even worth ten percent of my power, or is it five? Well, I am not good at counting anyways." He jumped with his own two feet to catch up to Zol that is already past the clouds. He looked at the boy's eyes, and see that it is still grey with a grin on his face.
"This is not over, Enzo," he said. "I will be back soon enough!"
"Not that I care," answered Enzo. "Do you mind in releasing your control of this boy's body now?"
Zol laughed while blood, tears, and saliva dripping from him, until his eyes turned black, then closed. Now, this is just an innocent, unconscious, little human boy. They reached the summit of their flight, and now it's freefall. Enzo grabbed Leo and fell down back to Earth. He looked at the boy's face. The boy's bloodlust and violent face he just saw earlier was replaced by a peaceful, and kind one. He checked the pulse of the boy, and he confirmed that he is still alive. Suddenly, the wind blew hard and caused an imbalance on him.
"I didn't mean to do it hard. See? He's still alive. That's what matters."
He landed on the ground gently without causing it to c***k. He's like a bird that came down from a flight. The two supervisors who watched what happened earlier came to the scene where he landed.
"That was awesome, Lord Enzo!" said one of them. "You beat that monster kid in one punch!"
"Yeah yeah, you're so strong!" said the other guy. "Can I have your autograph?"
"No, you cannot," said Enzo. "because you have to take this kid to the infirmary."
"This monster kid? No way sir, he almost killed us all. Plus, he hurt Sir Heracles very badly!"
"Heracles? He's fine, I know that guy. This kid doesn't have the strength to beat him in a serious fight. Heracles is just a slow, but a sturdy brute. Speaking of whom, there he is." He pointed at the sky and Heracles landed beside them.
"Sir Heracles! You're fine-"
"WHERE IS THAT BRAT?!!" he screamed. "Oh! there he is! Give him to me, Enzo. I'll teach this kid a lesson!"
"No," said Enzo. Heracles looked confused.
"Why not?"
"King's orders... and I can explain to you everything here."
"Oh...," he said and they all fell silent for a moment. "I don't care! I will never forgive any brat who disrespects their teachers! Do you know how hard it is to produce competent warriors? I am telling you, it is harder than destroying a whole planet! And this brat here doesn't show any respect for my hardship!"
"Calm down, Heracles."
Heracles panted very hard trying to calm himself down.
"Alright, just explain to me what the King said." He finally calmed down.
"First, the King recommended you to take an open position for a commander on Mars."
"Woah!" exclaimed the two supervisors.
"Okay, okay, what about my job here?"
"He said I will handle it." Enzo sighed.
"He's serious?"
"It seems likely..."
"Well, good luck, my friend. I am sure you know something about this brat. Do you mind telling me what's going on?"
"Yes I will, but I need to tell you guys to keep silent about what happened here, and especially about this boy. It is top secret."
"You heard him?" said Heracles to the two men. "Go and tell the others to keep silent on what happened here, and bring them to my office for further discussion!"
"Sir, yes, sir!" they saluted, and then went to find the others.
"So, you were saying?"
"I'll let him talk directly to you," said Enzo.
There was a gentle breeze that passed by Heracles. He nodded and listened to the breeze, and after a minute, his eyes opened wide and looked at the boy.
"He's finished talking to me now," said Heracles.
"Good."
"So are you gonna take that boy to the infirmary?"
"Yes."
"Alright, I'll deal with my men about keeping this a secret. I'll gather my stuff and leave for Mars as soon as I am finished with it. You can take over my office."
"Thank you."
"Likewise."
They both nodded and Heracles went ahead.
