The devastating attack hits its target, engulfing Ken in gigantic explosions. For a moment, dust obscures vision, but eventually it starts settling. A figure emerges from the cloud: it's none other than Ken, who looks worse for wear but far from being in serious danger. The damage starts to disappear, like last time, but it seems to be too much from Ken's regeneration to instantly handle.

However, Ken also sports a dangerous smile.

"Finally! I was starting to get bored, but you unleash your true power! I was considering simply tearing you apart with my bare hands, but as a reward, let me give you a more fitting end."

His Persona finally appears right above him, similar to the one from the other Ken with similar powers, but all black instead of all white, with red streaks and a purple aura. It is also bound in chains, as if some force is - unsuccessfully - trying to contain it.

"Ker! Transcendance!"

A large black aura envelops Ken, unleashing pressure waves that can be felt even several meters away from him. Scanners would show his power grow drastically, and any conscious mind within proximity would get the urge to run away, as Death is standing there.

Ken then manipulates time with Time Contraction, allowing him to both set up his protective barrier with Midnight Veil and his Tyrant's Aura at the same time.

A dark, translucent sphere appears around Ken, seemingly ready to block incoming attacks, while a golden glow fills the room. Anyone within the Tyrant's Aura would be struck with Dread, find it more difficult and more costly in stamina to move or act, and would feel their life very slowly being drained away.

"You have earned the right to see this taste of my real strength."
