"I asked you a question," the rock human growled again, his patience thinning as chunks of jagged rock tore free from the ground, levitating around him in a menacing orbit. The rocks pulsed with latent energy, their surfaces glinting with crystalline veins that caught the light in sharp bursts.

At first glance, the rock humans resembled oversized humans, but their skin was an extraordinary mosaic of geological texture. Some bore the rough, speckled grain of granite, others the translucent shimmer of quartz, and a few the dark, glassy sheen of obsidian. Their average size was twice that of a human, their forms broad and imposing, built from the very substance of their planet. King observed with calm fascination as the rock human before him swelled even larger, his body expanding to ten times King's size, a towering colossus of stone that cast a shadow long enough to swallow the nearby crowd. Yet King remained utterly unfazed, his posture relaxed, his eyes gleaming with playful intrigue.

"I'll ask you one last time. Who are you? And where do you come from?" the rock human rumbled, his voice now a deep, earth-shaking roar that vibrated through the ground, sending pebbles skittering across the cracked terrain.

"You know, big man, let me be honest with you. Size isn't all that matters. Here's why," King said smoothly, his voice dripping with mockery as two ethereal chains materialized in a flash of dark energy, coiling tightly around his arms like living serpents. A wide, predatory grin spread across his face, his confidence unshaken by the giant before him.

"I'm going to kill you!" the rock human roared, his thunderous voice shaking the air as he hurled a gigantic fist toward King, the strike fast enough to create a sonic boom that rattled the surrounding cliffs.

King dodged effortlessly, sidestepping with the grace of a dancer, his movements fluid and precise, wasting not an ounce of energy. With a flick of his wrists, he swung his chains toward the rock human, the links wrapping around the colossus's massive neck with a metallic clink. With a powerful tug, King leaped skyward, landing nimbly atop the rock human's neck, perched like a conqueror on a throne of stone.

"Pass this message to everyone as fast as you can!" King bellowed, his voice amplified with commanding authority, ensuring every rock human within earshot felt the weight of his words. "We are here to conquer your world under the leadership of our emperor, Aaron Highborn. Submit, and you will be spared. Resist, and your fate will be met with only death!" His proclamation echoed across the rocky expanse, sinking into the hearts of the stunned onlookers like a blade.

"You bastard! Get off my head!" the rock human yelled furiously, clapping his massive hands toward his head in a desperate attempt to swat King away, the motion sending gusts of wind whipping through the air.

"As for you, the only fate you'll face is death. Perhaps he might consider bringing you back to life," King said calmly, his tone chillingly detached as he controlled his Terror Twins, dual blades forged from dark, pulsating energy. With a swift command, the blades drove through the rock human's head, slicing through the stone-like exterior as effortlessly as high-grade drilling equipment through soft sediment, piercing straight to the skull beneath.

"Let me go!" the rock human screamed in panic, his voice cracking with the dawning realization of his impending doom as he flailed helplessly, his massive form trembling.

King paid no heed to the desperate plea, his expression cold and unrelenting. The Terror Twins drove deeper, carving through the skull with surgical precision until they emerged on the other side, ending the rock human's life in an instant. The colossal body went limp, crashing to the ground with a seismic thud that sent cracks spiderwebbing through the earth, dust billowing in a thick cloud.

"So, you guys bleed too, huh? Here I was thinking you'd be oozing sand," King muttered with a wry chuckle, still perched atop the fallen giant, his chains retracting with a soft hum. He scanned the surrounding rock humans, his piercing gaze daring any to challenge him, but none moved. Every rock human in the vicinity stood frozen, their crystalline eyes wide with fear, none eager to meet the same fate as their fallen champion, the strongest among them now reduced to a lifeless heap.

"Guess not," King said with a satisfied smile, hopping down from the corpse with casual ease, his boots kicking up small clouds of dust as he strode forward, already in search of his next prey, the thrill of battle coursing through his veins.

Leo landed lightly before a sprawling mansion, its towering walls of polished stone rising like a fortress amidst the rocky terrain of Planet Terra. The structure was encircled by a formidable fence of jagged obsidian, its sharp edges glinting menacingly under the harsh sunlight. Heavily armed rock humans patrolled every corner, their massive forms standing sentinel, their rocky skin blending seamlessly with the rugged surroundings, making them appear as extensions of the landscape itself.

"One, two, three, four… Never mind. The more, the merrier," Leo muttered with a sly smile, his eyes gleaming with anticipation as he cracked his knuckles, ready for the chaos he was about to unleash.

With a sudden burst of compressed wind pressure, Leo surged forward like a gale, his movement a blur as he targeted the nearest rock human. His fist, wreathed in swirling winds, punched a clean hole through the guard's chest, the rock crumbling like brittle clay under the force, the wind's sharp edges slicing through with lethal precision.

"Intruder!" one of the rock humans roared, witnessing their comrade collapse in a heap of shattered stone, his voice raising a piercing alarm that echoed across the compound, alerting every guard to the threat.

"Calm down. There's no need to rush. Everyone will face my wrath," Leo said soothingly, his tone almost comforting, though his words carried a chilling promise as he prepared to take on the entire contingent, unwilling to let a single one escape his judgment.
