Impeccable Imitation is the 9th chapter of the "Shuumatsu no Valkyrie: Record of Ragnarok" manga series.

Summary[]

Heimdall declares that Adam's Völundr is none other than a knuckleduster and says he wants to have an all-out fist fight with Zeus. Cain calls out to Adam from the stands and tells him to take Zeus down for them too, as Abel simply wishes Adam good luck. Adam turns back to face Zeus and smiles, his eyes shining. Zeus compliments Adam's weapon and Adam admits he likes it before asking where Zeus' weapon is. As the Gods mutter about how Adam is addressing Zeus so casually, Zeus reveals he really wants to hear the sound of Adam's bones as he grinds them so he'll just use his fists. Adam warns him he'll regret it and Zeus begins jumping in place, telling Adam that's the spirit. Zeus then rushes in and tells Adam to try this on for size. Zeus unleashes a jab at 0.01 seconds but Adam easily dodges by moving his head to the side. Heimdall declares how Adam dodged a lightning-fast jab from Zeus and Humanity cheers for him. Watching from above, Sixth of the Twelve Gods of Olympus, Ares, sighs about how the Humans are celebrating too much when Adam just passed his father's first test and calls them foolish creatures, asking if Hermes agrees. Hermes does, cordially addressing his brother. Zeus then begins letting out a flurry of jabs, that move as fast as 0.001 seconds but they increasingly get faster, all the way up to 0.00001 seconds.

Zeus Jab Meteor

Zeus attacks Adam with Meteor Jab

This results in Zeus launching Meteor Jab, a barrage of jabs that give the impression of falling meteors. However, Adam keeps coolly dodging each and every jab that Zeus throws. The speed at which Zeus is jabbing keeps increasing, all the way up to 0.00000001 seconds. At that moment, Zeus switches things up and lifts up his right leg. He calls it Divine Axe and aims to kick at Adam's legs.

Ares tells him to say goodbye to his lower half, only for him and Zeus to be surprised when Adam easily flips over Zeus' Divine Axe. The force of Zeus' attack partially breaks the stands as Adam sighs. Zeus calls him wonderful before telling him that just running away won't do anything.

Adam Jab Meteor

Adam copies Zeus' Meteor Jab

Standing up, Adam says he doesn't have to tell him that and begins jumping in place. He suddenly tells Zeus to try this on for size and quickly moves in, unleashing a jab at 0.01 seconds, grazing Zeus' cheek. Zeus recognizes the move as his own and Adam praises him for dodging before continuing to jab at faster speeds. Zeus has trouble dodging and Adam takes this chance to use Meteor Jab, nailing Zeus with each attack. He warns Zeus that isn't all and even uses Divine Axe, kicking Zeus' left leg and forcing the God to pause. These series of attacks completely shocked the Gods. Despite his wounds, Zeus smiles and praises Adam. As Adam nonchalantly looks up, Humanity keeps up their cheers.

Göll was worried since Adam was basically naked yet he's very strong. She's surprised that a Human was able to mimic a God's technique and Brunhilde tells Göll to remember Adam's origins. Genesis 1:27 of the Old Testament: "So God created Man in his own image, in the image of God, he created him..." Adam was designed to be a copy of the Gods. As such, he can copy any technique of the Gods that he lays his eyes on.

Adam Eyes

Adam using Divine Reflection

Brunhilde maliciously states that he can take the Gods' powers and throw it right back at them, revealing that power is called Divine Reflection. Laughing, Zeus remarks on how he hasn't had this much fun in a few millennia. He then wonders how Adam will counter this and begins tapping his feet repeatedly. Ares recognizes the unusual footwork and Zeus begins moving around Adam so fast, he leaves afterimages. Zeus appears behind Adam and kicks his left leg at Adam's head to decapitate him.

However, Adam quickly tilts his head to the side to avoid the attack before using Divine Reflection to copy the technique. Tapping his feet against the ground, Adam then jumps up and kicks Zeus' face, knocking him all the way into the borders of the stands. Ares questions what kind of Human Adam is and Zeus realizes that it's like he's fighting a mirror image of himself.

Kronos, defeated by Zeus

Zeus kills his father Kronos, winning the Titanomachy Tournament and becoming the Chief of the Gods

As he staggers up, Adam admits he doesn't want to do this but has to since this is a match. He apologizes, calling Zeus "Pops." As Brunhilde and Hermes hold in their laughter while Ares and Göll react with horror, Zeus begins shaking with anger and claims he is so delighted, he's about to burst. He then questions if Adam will be able to follow this and holds his fist back. Noticing, Hermes is surprised that Zeus is using "that" against a Human. Eons ago, in the Milky Way, at the decisive battle of Titanomachy, a young Zeus had defeated the personification of time itself and his father, Kronos. During the fight, however, Zeus – who had sustained no injuries during the preliminaries – had his jaw broken by an unseen attack from Kronos. After Zeus spat out his broken teeth, he commended his father for being one hell of a fighter and crushed his head.

After that day, Zeus burned his father's final technique into his body, naming it as his own.

Adam copies Fist that Surpasses Time

Adam copies The Fist That Surpassed Time and hits Zeus

Containing all of Zeus' respect and hatred for his father, the mere mention of its name is said to be able to exert control over all of time – The Fist That Surpassed Time. Zeus proceeds to use it and runs at Adam as everything, including Adam, seem to be standing still. Zeus punches, only for Adam to copy his move with Divine Reflection, dodge Zeus' punch and deliver a punch of his own, completely twisting Zeus' head around. Adam says he likes this and thanks Zeus for the move, continuing to call him "Pops." Much to everyone's confusion, Zeus has been knocked down to the ground and Adam is left standing.
