A powerful shockwave echoed between the two towering figures upon collision, shattering the windows of nearby buildings.
Unwilling to risk a reckless attack, Michael repositioned, his feet sliding across the falling debris of a skyscraper as Nemesis gave hot pursuit.
"I don't get it!" The man roared.
"Why did you refuse my offer?! Had you joined my faction, we would have been unstoppable! Me as the leader, and you as second-in-command!"
Grabbing a massive chunk of debris, Nemesis hurled it toward Michael.
"No one! Across the whole world, not a single person had ever received such an offer, and yet you had to go and refuse it!"
With a slash of Devil, Michael cleanly cut the projectile in two.
"Do you still not get it?"
Michael mused out loud.
"If people like you, who seek power only for themselves, who hinder the progress of those below them, continue to rise to the top, humanity can only suffer."
