Ashveil and Saitama exchanged a brief glance. In their eyes was clear anticipation for the existence that was about to descend.
Only true powerhouses would refrain from fleeing when faced with something this terrifying.
Across the Pirate World, as the wails of refugees from the alternate dimension echoed, countless experts frowned deeply.
Even legends such as Whitebeard Edward Newgate, Golden Lion Shiki, Monkey D Garp, and Sengoku felt an inexplicable pressure weighing on their hearts.
That sound alone was enough to breed fear.
There was no doubt about it, only a true monster could intimidate the world through nothing but sound.
Even Red Hair Shanks, a man who possessed Conqueror's Haki, found his hands trembling uncontrollably.
"This sound… it carries a trace of Conqueror's Haki," Shanks said, his expression grim. "Whoever this is, they are unbelievably powerful."
The officers beside him were pale. They had felt it as well, a raw, ancient sound, brutal and domineering, as if it came from the strongest warrior of an ancient battle tribe.
Eustass Kid, stationed not far away, clenched his fists tightly.
"This is insane," Kid muttered. "The killing intent is carved into his bones. That's what makes it terrifying."
Nearby, Apoo and Killer wore expressions of despair. If a single roar could shake their spirits to this extent, the owner of that voice was undoubtedly a calamity.
They did not realize that the reason Ashveil inspired less fear was simple. He chose restraint.
If Ashveil wished, his Conqueror's Haki alone could blanket the entire world. Even Supernovas like Kid would be forced to kneel, trembling without resistance.
High above, within the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, the Celestial Dragons were in complete chaos.
For all their years ruling the world, they had never heard such a sound, one so steeped in primal slaughter.
Fear seeped into their souls.
It felt as though death itself loomed over them.
Even the pressure brought by the Revolutionary Army paled in comparison.
The once lofty Dragons collapsed onto the ground, clutching their heads as they trembled.
"This sound… it's horrifying. He will kill us all."
"Only a demon could release something like this."
Their wails echoed throughout the sacred land.
In the Shinobi world, Naruto Uzumaki clutched his head the moment the sound reached him, his expression tightening in pain.
Sakura noticed immediately and placed a hand on his shoulder.
"What's wrong, Naruto?" she asked, concern evident in her voice.
Naruto steadied himself, his eyes sharp and solemn.
"I can feel it. This guy embodies primal savagery. He was born a killer."
"To think someone like this exists…" Naruto said, his voice carrying both excitement and unease.
Kakashi, Shikamaru, and the others all frowned deeply.
Though their world had been losing ground, Ashveil never felt like a tyrant who would enslave them.
He was called a demon only because his strength surpassed common sense.
But this invader was different. The darkness surrounding him was unmistakable.
"If we lose this time," Gaara said cautiously, "our entire Shinobi world may fall."
"If that happens," Kakashi replied grimly, "then survival itself becomes a luxury. According to those defectors, this man doesn't stop at arenas. He exterminates entire worlds."
"Meaning," Shikamaru added quietly, "we would need the strength of the entire world to resist him."
Killer Bee adjusted his sunglasses, his expression serious.
"That's a full-scale war."
One by one, fists clenched. Even Uchiha Madara remained silent, his gaze sharp.
If the invader truly intended to wipe out the entire second dimension, then alliance with Ashveil was their only option.
In the One Punch Man world, shock spread just as quickly.
This enemy crushed courage with sound alone.
That fact elevated him far beyond a God-level disaster.
"The outside worlds are insane," Tatsumaki muttered, trembling. "Monsters like this shouldn't exist."
Even Bang swallowed hard.
"To intimidate through pure sound… the energy inside him is absurd," he said. "This may be our end."
Child Emperor and Genos hurriedly ran calculations. The results stunned them.
"Unbelievable…"
"The energy output from his voice alone exceeded ten thousand combat units."
Boom.
The space time pendulum shattered.
From its destruction burst a blinding beam of light. The artificial planet beneath them expanded several times over, forged from the hardest known material.
Its purpose was clear.
To restrain what was coming.
To stop him from devouring the entire second dimension.
Then he appeared.
A towering savage with bulging muscles, golden pupils, and the aura of a great ape.
Power surged outward like a tidal wave.
Even Saitama's expression changed.
Despite having shattered countless limiters, he felt fear.
Genuine fear.
Across all worlds, Pirate World, Shinobi world, and One Punch Man world alike, countless eyes widened in horror.
Broly had arrived.
Imu's face turned deathly pale.
"It's him… Broly," she whispered. "He defeated Son Goku, Beerus and Zeno in single combat."
"The potential of this man is monstrous."
The refugees clutched their heads in terror. Just hearing his name was enough to break them.
Even the gods from the Record of Ragnarok world had lost all dignity, reduced to trembling wrecks.
Golden Lion Shiki narrowed his eyes.
"What terrifying strength… even his physique radiates destruction."
Whitebeard Edward Newgate frowned deeply.
"This power rivals Ashveil's. Can he truly win?"
Mihawk stared skyward, his eyes gleaming.
"If this battle is lost, the consequences will be catastrophic."
Ashveil himself studied Broly.
The strongest truly came from the Dragon Ball world.
Broly.
Under normal circumstances, he would not surpass fused warriors like Gogeta.
But this environment was different.
The space time pendulum had forged a battlefield tailored for him.
Endless one on one combat.
Limitless growth.
It was paradise for a savage like Broly.
Broly's gaze shifted, briefly acknowledging Saitama with mild curiosity.
A bald man, strong for such a weak world.
Interesting, but nothing more.
Then his eyes locked onto Ashveil.
Pure excitement ignited within them.
"Hahahaha!" Broly roared. "Perfect battlefield. Perfect opponent."
Winds howled violently across the artificial planet.
Broly charged forward.
Saitama frowned.
So I'm just background decoration now?
He stomped the ground and shot forward.
The impact beneath his feet created only a shallow crater.
Saitama froze.
With his current strength, this should have devastated the terrain.
This planet was abnormal.
Terrifyingly so.
"Serious Punch."
Saitama struck.
Broly caught his fist with one hand.
Energy solidified around Broly's body, emitting an eerie resonance.
Saitama's eyes widened.
Never before had his Serious Punch been stopped like this.
In the One Punch Man world, Genos stared in disbelief.
"Saitama Sensei's Serious Punch… it was read and stopped."
Bang clenched his teeth.
"Not just strength. He has technique."
"The fusion of raw power and martial mastery… even Ashveil may struggle."
Tatsumaki's worldview shattered.
"To reach this level with only body and combat skill…"
Her voice trembled.
"This monster truly defies reason."
