As the voice from the screen ended, the Saints beside the Blood Pool suddenly felt their Cosmos surge dramatically.
"What?!"
Aiakos and Byoret, who had been battling the four Gold Saints, immediately halted upon hearing the voice and stepped back, expressions turning grim.
"The Eighth Sense?"
Shion looked at himself in confusion. Not only had his Cosmos intensified, but he also seemed to perceive deeper truths in the world around him.
"My brother once told me the Eighth Sense goes beyond the Seventh… not only does it enhance strength, it allows one to perceive the very essence of the world itself..."
Sisyphus murmured in wonder.
He had never been able to reach the realm Ilias once described, and yet now… he had attained it so easily.
"Damn it, this is getting tricky. These Gold Saints have just gotten a major power-up… and even the Bronze and Silver Saints have awakened their Seventh Sense…"
Aiakos felt an overwhelming pressure building.
"Lord Aiakos… should we retreat?"
For the first time, Byoret showed hesitation.
They were outnumbered. Though the newly awakened Bronze and Silver Saints might not yet master their new power, the sheer number, combined with the now more powerful Gold Saints, was enough to pose a serious threat.
"You think it'll be that easy to run?"
Suddenly, Defteros appeared behind Aiakos and Byoret, his voice cold and killing intent raging.
"Perfect. I'll use you to test the power of the Eighth Sense—Galaxian Explosion!!!"
A terrifying energy wave surged through the entire area, transforming into a starry sky that obliterated everything in its path!

["Next, Dragon Ball Universe. Rewards: Son Goku has unlocked Super Saiyan 2. Son Gohan has unlocked Super Saiyan 1. Others have received an upgrade to their limiter thresholds."]
Gohan: Huh?! Super Saiyan… 2? What does that mean?
Goku: I figured there might be a higher level. In my recent battles, I sensed there was more room to grow… I guess this proves it.
["Super Saiyan 2 has double the power of Super Saiyan 1—equivalent to 100 times base form."]
Tony Stark: A hundred times normal strength?! That's insanely overpowered!
Diana: Goku, your energy before was already terrifying. Now it doubles? Just how strong can you get?
Goku: I don't know myself. But first, I need to find Krillin and the others. They didn't respond on the screen, and I'm getting worried.
Bruce Wayne: What happened to them?
Yamcha: They were captured by Xenomorphs. Who knows what's become of them.
Loki: Isn't it obvious? Their bodies are probably being used as nests to incubate Xenomorph offspring.
Gohan: No way!! That's horrible!
Goku: We have to find them immediately!
Yamcha: Yeah! But now that our limiters are boosted, what does that actually mean? Piccolo, any ideas?
Piccolo: Probably means greater potential. I haven't reached my own limits yet, so I can't say for sure what the ceiling is.
Yamcha: Then maybe I can be as strong as you… or even Goku?
Vegeta: Don't make me laugh. You're just a lowly Earthling. No matter your potential, you'll never surpass a Saiyan. Unless Kakarot stops training, then maybe.
Yamcha: You jerk, Vegeta!
Vegeta: Hmph. Kakarot, I don't care what Super Saiyan 2 is. It'll never surpass the Legendary Super Saiyan. Once I'm done with my business, I'll come back to Earth to put you down!
Goku: I'll be waiting!
["Next: Ultraman Leo Universe."]
["Rewards: Ultraman Leo receives the Parage Shield. Ultraman Seven receives the Droplet. Astra gains the skill: Stratified Storm."]
As soon as the words fell, a strange bracelet appeared on Leo's wrist, unlike anything he had seen before. In Seven's hand appeared a smooth, droplet-shaped metal cone. Meanwhile, Astra's mind flooded with new information.
"Big Brother Leo! What was that voice just now?"
Astra immediately asked.
"I'll explain later… But what is this Parage Shield?"
Leo looked curiously at the new bracelet.
"A droplet? What even is this thing?"
Seven was puzzled, staring at the smooth metal cone in his hand.
["The Parage Shield is a legendary item belonging to Ultraman Noa. With it, one can freely travel through space and even across universes. When transformed into bow mode and fully charged, it releases a blast more powerful than any other Ultraman technique."]
"Noa Ultraman? Who's that?"
Leo frowned, confused at the unfamiliar name.
"What?! That's Noa Ultraman's weapon?!"
But Seven's eyes widened with shock—he recognized the name.
"You know who Noa is?" Leo asked, surprised.
"I read about him in ancient texts in the Land of Light. He's said to be the first Ultraman born at the dawn of the universe. Noa possesses power far beyond any other Ultraman, capable of crossing the multiverse freely. If we in the Land of Light protect one universe, Noa protects them all."
Seven's tone grew solemn as he spoke of Noa.
"There's an Ultraman like that?!"
Leo was stunned by what he heard.
["Stratified Storm is the signature technique of Ultraman Nexus from another universe. Unlike ordinary energy beams, it disintegrates enemies at the molecular level. However, it consumes enormous energy and can only be used once—if conditions allow."]
"To destroy something at the molecular level… That's amazing! Our beam techniques don't go that far!"
Astra was stunned by the explanation.
Ultraman's beams were powerful, but generally destroyed enemies by blowing apart their bodies.
But something precise enough to obliterate on a molecular scale? That had always been impossible—hence why regenerating kaiju were so difficult to eliminate.
With this move, even monsters like Gleizer with incredible regeneration could be wiped out in an instant.
["The Droplet is a weapon from the universe of the Trisolarans. Forged with that universe's hardest material, it features a smooth outer shell created using strong nuclear force.
The atoms in its shell are locked in place by the strong interaction force, and molecular thermal motion is almost nonexistent, making its surface temperature nearly absolute zero.
Additionally, the nuclear compression causes the atoms to align perfectly, making the Droplet nearly perfectly smooth.
It can reflect 100% of electromagnetic waves. When spinning mid-flight, it violates conventional physics and possesses overwhelming destructive power. In its own universe, it once destroyed 2,008 space battleships."]
