"Your speed is impressive. You actually forced me to use my Conqueror's Haki Domain," Ashveil said.
Even when facing such a terrifying opponent, Ashveil's heart remained steady. There was no fear in his eyes at all. This composure was the result of pushing Conqueror's Haki to its absolute limit. Against Broly's overwhelming presence, his will did not waver in the slightest.
Broly clenched his fists, his gaze filled with disdain as he stared at Ashveil.
"Kid, dodging one attack isn't something to brag about," Broly said coldly. "Let me tell you this clearly. The power you've seen so far is nothing compared to what I truly possess."
A faint red glow flickered within Broly's eyes as his voice dropped.
Ashveil could sense it clearly. Whatever remnants of gentleness Broly once had were long gone. Something had shattered him completely. Perhaps the loss of his father in his world was what pushed him to this state.
"Is that so?" Ashveil replied evenly.
"Then you should know this," he continued, his voice steady. "I've only shown you the surface of my strength."
Those words were enough to ignite Broly's fury.
A violent roar erupted from his throat as countless energy blasts burst forth, pouring down toward Ashveil like a relentless storm.
Ah ah ah ah ah…
In the blink of an eye, Broly unleashed nearly a hundred energy blasts, each one identical to the devastating attacks he had used earlier. Any single blast alone was more than enough to tear this world apart.
This time, he released them all at once.
The sight left every spectator frozen in shock.
The gods of the Valkyrie World turned pale with fear.
"It's that attack… the one that destroyed our entire world before!"
"It's over. We're finished!"
Despair spread rapidly throughout the world of Record of Ragnarok.
In the Shinobi world, even the ninjas instinctively retreated when they saw the sky filled with those terrifying energy spheres. Powerhouses like the Sage of Six Paths and Uchiha Madara widened their eyes in disbelief.
"Even Ashveil might not be able to withstand this," Uchiha Madara said, his voice filled with shock.
He had witnessed the power of those energy blasts firsthand. Even one had nearly shattered Ashveil's Conqueror's Haki defense. Now there were dozens upon dozens of them.
For the first time, even Madara felt uncertain.
In the One Punch Man world, Tatsumaki, Genos, and Atomic Samurai all stared in horror.
"How can someone's physical power reach this level?" Tatsumaki muttered.
"This makes no sense at all," Genos said quietly.
Child Emperor and Metal Knight stood frozen. Broly's energy output had completely surpassed the limits of their calculations. Finally, Child Emperor forced himself to speak.
"I can't accurately measure his strength," he said, cold sweat dripping from his forehead. "But I can confirm one thing."
"He has enough power to destroy our entire planet with a single blow."
Silence followed.
Even Emperor Boros, watching from his spaceship, felt his heart sink. He had traveled the universe seeking a worthy opponent, someone who could make his blood boil.
But now that he had found them, the gap was so vast that all he felt was fear.
In the Pirate World, everyone held their breath.
Ashveil represented their world. His defeat would mean despair for them all.
Among the Supernovas, Kid stared at the battlefield in shock. Nearby, Hawkins collapsed to the ground, his face drained of color.
Apoo rushed over, panic evident in his voice. "Hawkins, predict the outcome. Now!"
Hawkins shakily drew his cards.
The moment he did, they burst into flames.
Everyone froze.
"Your cards burned?" Kid shouted. "What does that mean?"
Hawkins wiped the sweat from his face, his voice trembling. "It means their power exceeds what my cards can calculate."
He took a deep breath.
"If the strength of a Yonko equals one unit, then my cards can calculate up to one million units."
The implication struck everyone like a thunderbolt.
One million Yonko.
Either of them could erase the Pirate World without effort.
On the battlefield, the storm of energy blasts descended.
Yet within his Conqueror's Haki Domain, Ashveil was absolute.
The energy spheres narrowly passed him one after another, each dodge precise, each movement effortless.
But the destruction left behind was catastrophic.
Mountains forged from the strongest materials shattered. Seas boiled. The planet trembled violently as explosions echoed without end.
Boom boom boom!
The entire world was engulfed in smoke and chaos.
Broly's expression grew serious when he realized Ashveil had once again avoided everything.
"I'll take back what I said earlier," Broly growled. "You do have some skill."
"But I won't let you escape again."
His hair rose wildly as his aura erupted. In an instant, Broly's ki flooded the entire area, locking onto Ashveil's Conqueror's Haki Domain.
No matter where Ashveil moved, Broly followed.
Ashveil narrowed his eyes.
Broly had seen through the nature of his domain and filled it with his own presence. Though he could not match Ashveil's instantaneous movement, he was close enough to pursue relentlessly.
"You really are a terrifying monster," Ashveil said, halting his movement.
To the spectators, the battlefield became empty.
Neither Ashveil nor Broly could be seen.
"They disappeared?" Genos asked in disbelief.
"No," Bang replied calmly. "They're simply moving too fast for us to perceive."
In the Shinobi world, the Sage of Six Paths and Uchiha Madara strained their eyes, chakra surging as they barely caught faint traces of motion.
"Even with the Rinnegan, I can hardly follow them," the Sage of Six Paths said quietly.
Madara nodded grimly. "This speed is beyond imagination."
High above, Ashveil finally stopped retreating.
"Broly," he said, his voice carrying immense pressure, "you are truly strong."
"Strong enough that even I must take you seriously."
His once lazy gaze sharpened completely.
Conqueror's Haki erupted.
Purple lightning tore through the sky as violent winds uprooted entire forests. Space itself cracked, black rifts spreading across the artificial planet.
The sea surged violently. The land trembled.
Ashveil stood at the center of it all, his presence alone shaking the world.
