Power and power ~Fleeting Battle~ is the sixtieth chapter of the To Love-Ru Darkness manga series.

Summary
The chapter opens with Lala presenting her new Cyber Onsen System to her sisters in the bath, stating that it connect the bathroom with cyberspace allowing the users to enjoy scenery based on the season. Nana is excited to try it out and Lala switches the machine on, resulting in the machine not working. Peke and Momo both begin fiddling with the machine, revealing that there are no problems with the invention and that there is probably a delay. Suddenly, both are transferred to cyberspace, leaving Lala and Nana behind.

We come back to Rito, Zastin, Nemesis and Gid in cyberspace, revealing that Gid has now returned to normal size and regained his power. Gis tells was tired to waiting and Zastin ask sorry while Rito is surprised remembering Gid' children form that he saw in past. Gid then tells Nemesis that he know her story and goal, so he'll take her on and is curious about her living weapon abilities. Nemesis also is exctited to fight with the king of Deviluke. They then initiate a fight, with Gid stating that he won't hold back because she looks like a kid.

The scene switches to Yami and Mea sitting down and eating at a dango stand because Mea want her sister to taste something different from usual taiyaki. Mea tells Yami that it is Nemesis' favorite food, but Yami don't want hear her name. Yami then asks Mea is she likes Nemesis even after all the things she did to her like possess her body and lying. Mea howewer tells that she wouldn't have been able to survive without Nemesis and wonder what she's doing now. The conversation ends with them both deciding that they are concerned for Nemesis.

The scene transfers yet again to cyberspace where Gid and Nemesis are locked in battle. Nemesis makes swords appear from thin air and attack Gid, which he easily dodges. Rito mistakes this attack for the warp that Darkness used but Zastin corrects him and reveals that it is actually dark matter which Nemesis can materiliaze at her pleasure. Gid then effortlessly destroys the blades with a movement of his arm, asking if that is all, before attacking Nemesis directly and making a big hole in her body.

Also in cyberspace, Momo (still naked and wearing just a towel) and Peke momentarily wonder where they are. Momo ask if is a Lala' work, but Peke deny. Momo recognize some plantsfrom planet Karaand Peke realize that someone created that cyberspace using that planet as model and the Lala' machine use the same system so it got confused and brought them there.

Suddenly, because of energy released, an explosion erupts sending Rito flying into Momo. Rito then land in one of his trademark "positions" with the boy above Momo while he's spreding her legs and her private part. Blushing, Momo tells Rito that it is embarrassing, but he can do as he likes. Before Rito can react, a coconut from a tree above him falls and lands on his head, forcing it down onto Momo and splattering it's juice onto her. Momo is pleased while Rito ask sorry and inform she and Peke about the battle.

Back to the fight, Nemesis begins saying that her body will be restored no matter what since is made of dark matter but, before she can finish, Gid begins a flurry of attacks with his tail. Zastin observe commentaing about the king continue and fast attacks don't give Nemesis the chance to counterattack. Gid then grab Nemesis who acknowledged his streghtand try to attack from brief distance at his point black range. But, before Nemesis' attack, Gid releases a large and powerful beam (which Momo recognizes is specific to her father) who cause a massive explosion.

While her body of dark matter is restoring, Nemesis feels good and complments Gid for giving her a great fight and the best way to kill time. But, as her body slowly regenerates, Gid tells that, when she take too much damage, the restoration won't keep up. The king of Deviluke then explain that every lifeform need to stabilize their existence with a body of flesh and blood so if she uses too much power, she will disperse and vanish. Indeed, Nemesis tried to bring out Darkness because she knows that her body is unsuited to draw out combat.

Gid then offers her a chance: if she kneels to him and vow that she will never bother him again, he will leave it as it is. Before she can answer, Rito calls out to her, saying that fighting isn't the answer. Watching Rito and Momo at that place, Gid get angry with Zastin for their presence. Nemesis declines telling that she like when people kneel before her and not the opposite. She then begins provoking Gid telling to knees and beg her to became her servant if he's so scared to fight again. The chapter ends with Rito wondering if Nemesis has a death wish.
