Respect Zongheng TianXia, The Nomad of Hell (Feng Shen Ji)

We're not like you...All the Dark Ones' Warriors came here today fully prepared to die in order to overthrow the Gods. None of us expected to return alive if we fail.

#ZONGHENG TIANXIA

---

##BACKGROUND

Zongheng TianXia is a Great General of the Dark Ones, having fought against Tian in the uprising against the Gods. A nomadic warrior, Zongheng was recruited due to his unique power and strength that stood out as being amongst the most powerful of the Dark Ones. Once his goals were achieved, he aimed to help the Dark Ones become a civilized society, using his great influence and prowess to become the Dark Ones' City's Military Officer and ruthlessly tried to maneuver his way into the Governership, bowing out when Ah Gou proved more adept and noble.

##BIO

Zongheng is a brutal combatant as befits all Dark Ones. Using his Soul Gear: Explosive Soul, Zongheng accelerates his movements with explosions borne of his soul, enhancing his speed and strength to insane degrees, preferring to blitz opponents quickly and end his fights with a head-to-head combat worthy of a warrior.

Should the combat linger on, Zongheng will intentionally allow himself to take injuries he has already grown accustomed to (such as previously used punches or attacks) to get nearer to death so that he may unleash his true potential....

##TERMS:

###SOUL POWER

Soul Power is a gift unique to the Dark Ones whereby they imbue weapons with their very soul, altering its properties in ways to reflect their very soul as well as massively increasing their physicals. In Zongheng's case, he is unique insofar as his own body and soul itself are his Soul Gear.

(Note: Due to most of his feats being a direct result of his Soul Gear, the majority of his feats will be listed in that section solely to prevent mass-spam of double images)

##PHYSICALS

###STRENGTH

• Slams another Dark Ones' General into the ground with enough force that it creates a massive crater in which the Dark One is no longer visible

• Lifts a giant made of pure Smelting Aura Iron off his feet with a single blow; of special note is that Smelting Aura objects are supernaturally dense compared to their ordinary counterpart

• Busts through an armored mech made of Smelting Aura, hitting its pilot

• OHKO's numerous Horned Gods; for reference, here's a regular Horned God tanking an initial swordblow from a man who casually bends iron bars, only succumbing to an all out double-chop

###DURABILITY

• Tanks a move that would give Batman PTSD

• Is slammed to the ground

• Tanks an unexpected headbutt to the abdomen that draws blood, but he seems to not care

• Takes two heavy direct blows and is launched away yet merely views it as a challenge

• Keeps fighting through numerous bones and ribs being shattered by punches

• Tanks a cyclone of punches which shatters 8 of his bones and also confirms that his opponent can casually bust buildings made of Smelting Aura with a launched projectile aka Zongheng

• Tanks a direct blitzing flurry of blows from Tian Wu (whose punches cause small-scale quakes when directed into the ground)

• Tanks a direct Thunderclap from Tian Wu and survives, though gravely injured; this is what a weaker Tian Wu's Thudnerclap accomplishes

• After the Thunderclap blitz, is still in stable enough condition that Horned Gods rush to impale him....he continues to fight and uses his Limit Break after this

###SPEED

• Catches a heavy blow after being blitzed

• Casually appears FTE to an opponent

• Blitzes around the battlefield with the aid of his explosions

##SOUL GEAR: EXPLOSIVE SOUL

Explosive Soul is Zongheng's Soul Gear; by utilizing his Soul Power to ignite his very soul as a weapon, Zongheng creates numerous explosions formed of fragments of his soul (which does him no harm, it should be noted) which can attach to opponents and explode, create at-will timed explosions, rocket Zongheng forward, or even be condensed and heightened to greater heights.

###SPIRITZED

• Without moving, surrounds himself in explosions that tear up the ground and repels an attack

• Repels numerous strikes from prehensile whips whilst also causing mini-explosions on his opponent's body

• Imbues his fist with chained explosions, launching his opponent back several meters

• Injects his soul into an opponent to blast them apart from the inside

• Causes a massive AoE explosion of soul

• Moves through his explosions at-will and does so again

• Causes excessive explosions on contact with a punch

• Creates delayed explosions after they were injected into an opponent

• By focusing his explosions, pushes his fighting style to its very limit

• Explosive Blasting Fist rockets his punches forward, using his explosions to turn his fists into veritable bullets with his soul being the charge

• Explosive Blasting Elbow works like his Fist, just focusing more force into the blow

###STATE OF LIMIT BREAK: WORLD OF FEROCIOUS SOUL

• Zongheng cannot freely activate it, and needs his soul to burn brighter than regularly to attain this state, thus will allow himself to be injured as alluded to in the "Bio" section

• Passive power: Hellfire - By compressing all his explosions, his body rapidly heats up and is imbued with the raw power of permanent explosion

• Generates heat great enough to start incinerating Smelting Aura

• Easily bodies his iron giant opponent and forces him back

• Can at-will use Explosive Blasting Fist, and also gains an amp all around in physicals which he uses to launch his opponent into the air

• Clashes with a heavy blow and manages to shove back his iron opponent, straight up ignoring his arm starting to shatter under the weight

• While up close with an opponent, Zongheng's Limit Break can be fully channeled, evaporating and incinerating all near him. Of note, this attack is hot enough it melts the inside of his iron opponent

• Turns two Horned Gods to ash instantly

• Can unleash all his power at once and create a massive explosion that dwarfs most of a war's battlefield
