After tearing Centipede Elder apart with his bare hands, Kaito looked down, gazing over Y City.
Ever since Sykes ordered Great Eye to declare an all-out war between the Monster Association and the Hero Association, Y City had plunged into chaos.
The one rampaging through this city was far from just the Dragon-level executive, Centipede Elder.
Wolf-level and Tiger-level trash monsters had also crawled out from the dark corners, committing evil deeds throughout the streets.
At this moment, the once-bustling Y City had completely become a playground for monsters.
Everywhere he looked, buildings burned. The streets were filled with panicked crowds fleeing in all directions.
"Sykes, that woman, is quite decisive," Kaito muttered coldly, a glint of frost flashing in his eyes.
With his Kenbunshoku Haki, he could sense hundreds of monster auras rampaging across the city—burning, killing, looting, spreading chaos without restraint.
"Kaito-sama…"
A soft voice rose from his arms. Saori's delicate fingers unconsciously tightened their grip on his clothes.
The fires in the city reflected in her eyes, and as she gazed upon the destruction of the place that raised her, sorrow and worry filled her heart.
"Don't worry."
Kaito patted her hand gently, a confident smile forming at the corner of his lips. "These trash aren't even good enough to be my warm-up."
With a thought, the solid form covering the 10,000-Meter Asura Giant's legs began to shift, turning into flowing light and shadow.
The terrifying, mountain-like weight of the Giant no longer crushed the fragile ground beneath, preventing further collapse of the city just by walking.
Then, the unique, low rhythm of the Emperor Engine, as if echoing from the depths of the primordial universe, began to boom—
Buzz—!!!
It was no longer a pressure aimed at a single target but a vast circular field, spreading ten thousand meters in every direction from the Giant's body.
The domain unfolded like an invisible, viscous furnace, solidifying the very air within it.
Light distorted.
Sound vanished.
Only the pure, oppressive Emperor Pressure remained—an aura that seemed to originate from the essence of life itself.
A sharp gleam flickered in Kaito's eyes.
The next moment, the 10,000-Meter Asura Giant moved.
Seemingly slow—yet faster than lightning.
He moved like a monarch inspecting his domain… or a reaper harvesting souls.
Wherever his domain reached, death followed.
The monsters that had been rampaging froze instantly.
Their hideous smiles had not yet faded before their souls were seized by a primal, incomprehensible terror.
"Ugh… ah ah ah!!!"
"What is this?!"
"No! Don't look at me! Don't!!!"
Screams twisted into silence, unable to escape the thick, crushing domain.
Under the perfect cover of Kaito's Kenbunshoku Haki, every monster within ten thousand meters glowed in his mind's eye like fireflies in the dark.
He didn't even need to search—his will itself locked onto each of them.
Then came the roll call of death.
The rhythm of the Emperor Engine intensified—
Boom!!!
It wasn't a physical sound but a spiritual explosion—a soul-level detonation.
Within the Ten Thousand Meter Emperor Domain, that resonance amplified infinitely, turning into a tailor-made soul elegy for each locked-on monster.
**Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff…**
Like insects crushed under an invisible hand.
From the Giant's towering perspective, the monsters—whether hiding in the ruins, lurking in sewers, or crawling up the walls of skyscrapers—appeared smaller than dust.
Then, as the **Emperor Engine** thundered once more, they were gone.
No gore. No explosions. No flames.
Only silence.
Their bodies disintegrated from within, collapsing into dust under an overwhelming, soul-devouring fear—erased from existence entirely.
It was as if they had never lived at all.
**Ding!** "Successfully killed Wolf-level monster *Mantis Swordsman*. Deterrence Points +60!"
**Ding!** "Successfully killed Tiger-level monster *Crocodile Butcher*. Deterrence Points +120!"
The notifications echoed rhythmically in Kaito's mind.
The Asura Giant strolled leisurely above the burning city; wherever he passed, monsters turned to nothingness.
"Too… too amazing!" **Child Emperor** pressed against the energy barrier, his small face flushed with excitement.
He stared at the monsters dissolving below, his mind racing to analyze the principle behind this terrifying power.
Saori,on the other hand, could only watch in awe.
The monsters that once forced heroes into desperate battles were now being erased like ants before **Kaito**.
Her admiration swelled, overflowing like a wave she couldn't contain.
Within half a minute, Y City was silent once more.
**Ding!** "Host successfully annihilated 321 monsters in extreme soul tremors. +23,260 Deterrence Points gained!"
Kaito's gaze turned toward the horizon, eyes dark with concern.
"Next stop—M City."
His home was there.
And so were the people he cherished.
---
Since Sykes had launched an all-out assault, she would certainly not spare that place.
Behind the 10,000-Meter Asura Giant, crimson-gold Qi and condensed black light began to surge, intertwining like raging currents of chaos.
Rumble!!!
In an instant, that furious energy extended and took shape—
a pair of colossal black wings, vast enough to blot out the sun, their wingspan stretching well beyond ten thousand meters.
These were no ordinary wings.
They were woven from Armament Haki and the Emperor Engine's Qi, their edges crackling with arcs of crimson-black lightning that hissed and coiled like living serpents.
The giant wings flapped—
**Boom—!!!**
The atmosphere itself imploded!
Air was sucked in, compressed, and then detonated outward in a titanic explosion, forming a visible circular shockwave that rippled across the sky.
Then, like a black thunderbolt piercing the heavens, the 10,000-Meter Asura Giant rocketed forward—
tearing through the clouds, leaving a blazing sonic boom in its wake as it surged toward M City.
With a single flap, it crossed more than a hundred kilometers!
Below him, the ground blurred into streaks of light and shadow.
The night sky split apart as his flight carved a jagged path through the clouds.
When Kaitopassed over L City, a pulse of violent energy caught his attention.
He narrowed his eyes and looked down.
A massive, black, dog-like monster was rampaging through the city streets.
Its enormous tail swung like a wrecking ball, leveling entire blocks with each strike.
Its gaping maw spewed scorching energy projectiles that exploded in waves of destruction, painting the city in fire and ruin.
Under its rampage, L City had already turned into a blazing wasteland.
"Pochi?"
Kaito's eyebrow rose slightly.
He recognized it—one of the Dragon-level executives of the Monster Association, a monster of formidable power even among the upper ranks.
But hesitation was not in Kaito's nature.
A cold, razor-sharp killing intent flared from him like a divine decree of death.
The 10,000-Meter Asura Giant abruptly angled downward, plunging toward the beast like a falling meteor.
*Bad dog. Time for a beating.*
**Pochi**, sensing danger, lifted its three crimson eyes skyward and let out a thunderous roar.
Yet when it finally saw what was descending upon it—
—those same eyes widened in primal terror.
