Reincarnated Phoenix Man's feathers all stood on end.
"No! Wait! I surr—"
Before his plea for mercy could finish, the colossal, sky-shattering fist had already descended.
Boom—!!!
The punch was simple, direct, and brutal. There were no flashy techniques, only absolute power. Wherever the fist passed, space itself shattered, annihilated like fragile glass.
"No—!!!" Reincarnated Phoenix Man shrieked in despair, desperately trying to activate his Nirvana Sacred Flame to resist.
However, when the golden-red Sacred Flame touched the Armament Haki on the giant fist, it was instantly annihilated and swallowed, like a candle flame meeting a surging flood.
Splatter—!!!
There was a sickening thud, the sound of flesh and bones being instantly and utterly crushed. Reincarnated Phoenix Man's magnificent body was unceremoniously smashed into a flat puddle of meat paste.
The next second, light converged, and the golden-red Nirvana light instinctively flared. Reincarnated Phoenix Man's figure reformed.
"I... I'm revived..."
He looked at his intact body, his aura seemingly slightly stronger than before, but there was no hint of survivor's luck in his eyes. Only because...
Boom—!!!
The sky-obscuring giant fist, carrying an unrivaled might capable of overturning the universe and crushing all paths, slammed down again! Its trajectory, speed, and power were precisely the same as the last time.
"Ah!!!" The piercing scream lasted only half a second.
Splatter—!!!
Meat paste reappeared. Nirvana light flared again. Revived.
Boom—!!!
Splatter—!!!
Flashed again. Revived.
Boom—!!!
Splatter—!!!
...The cycle began. Once, ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times, ten thousand times... Time held no meaning in this Spirit space that had been forcibly torn apart.
Reincarnated Phoenix Man experienced a terrifying reincarnation beyond the limits of human imagination. With each revival, his power slowly increased, but facing the absolute gap like a cosmic chasm, this small increase was but a drop in the bucket.
With each death, he endured the extreme pain of being utterly shattered, his soul torn apart. This pain did not numb with habit; instead, it infinitely amplified, etched into him through millions of repetitions.
His gaze shifted from horror to despair, from despair to numbness, and from numbness to complete void.
"Kill me... Please... just kill me..." he pleaded bitterly.
However, what answered him was still that merciless, all-crushing fist.
Boom—!!!
Splatter—!!!
Kaito valued Reincarnated Phoenix Man's ability to revive others without side effects, as this ability might compensate for many unavoidable regrets in the future. But to subdue an enemy who could revive infinitely, simple death threats were clearly ineffective.
Therefore, he could only make him experience what true living hell was. Moreover, this was also to make him pay the price for attacking his family.
...
After an unknown period—perhaps a long eternity, perhaps just a brief moment—the Doll Suit space burst silently like a soap bubble. With a thud, Reincarnated Phoenix Man was embarrassingly "spit" out, falling heavily onto the shattered streets of M City.
He was back. Back in the reality he had tried to escape.
Although it felt like a long time had passed in the Spirit world, in reality, only a brief five seconds had elapsed.
And at this moment, he was no longer the spirited Reincarnated Phoenix Man who had shouted "God's power." Now, he lay limp on the ground, staring blankly at the burning night sky, a neurotic smile twitching at the corners of his mouth.
To his left and right, Ugly President and Meow Meow had already turned into two piles of ashes. The night wind blew, gently carrying a few wisps of charred dust.
The Asura Giant patrolled M City, and the miscellaneous monster scum who had taken advantage of the chaos, like in Y City, were all reduced to ash and deterrence points amidst the roar of the Emperor Engine.
"Ding! The Host successfully annihilated 165 miscellaneous monster scum in extreme soul tremors, gaining a total of +14850 deterrence points!"
After Kaito dispelled his Susanoo, his left hand still clasped Saori's slender waist, and his right hand held Child Emperor by the back of his collar, as he lightly landed in front of the women.
He glanced at the disheveled Reincarnated Phoenix Man, a satisfied curve unconsciously forming at the corner of his mouth. This "undying cockroach" was truly annoying, but his revival ability was indeed very valuable. If someone unfortunately died in battle in the future, he could be put to good use...
"Boss!" Mosquito Girl was the first to pounce, her pink hair drawing a graceful arc in the air.
She clung to Kaito like a koala, her small face nuzzling intimately against his chest.
Fubuki, meanwhile, walked slowly with elegant steps, and when she saw Saori—whom Kaito was embracing with his other hand—her eyes flickered and paused.
This woman, dressed in an office lady uniform and exuding a mature, intellectual charm, made Fubuki feel wary. Hmph, he went out and brought back another woman… how infuriating!
Despite her irritation, Fubuki suddenly quickened her pace when she was still three steps away from Kaito and crashed directly into his arms. Beneath her white mink fur cloak, her delicate body trembled slightly, exhausted from the battle, the image of a fragile little woman.
"Welcome home," she murmured, burying her face in Kaito's shoulder, her voice muffled.
Kaito chuckled and placed a gentle kiss on the foreheads of both beauties.
After a moment of tenderness, he noticed Saori, caught in the middle, her face flushed red, looking adorably on the verge of suffocating. Her moist, beautiful eyes shimmered with tears, and she strained to crane her long neck, her red lips slightly parted as she gasped, like a small fish deprived of oxygen.
"Pfft…" Kaito couldn't help but laugh. He raised his hand to tap Fubuki and Mosquito Girl's firm, shapely bottoms, the crisp sound cutting through the air as he teased,
"Alright, in public, rewards will have to wait until we're alone…"
"Ah!" Mosquito Girl let out a short shriek, her pink hair fanning out like a waterfall. She covered her little bottom and leaped away instantly. Her large, watery eyes peeked shyly at Kaito, her cheeks as red as ripe apples.
Fubuki's reaction was completely different. She lifted her head from Kaito's shoulder, glaring fiercely with her emerald-like eyes and chided,
"Who… who cares about a pervert like you's reward!"
Yet, her beautiful legs, clad in black stockings, unconsciously rubbed together, betraying her inner stirrings.
Clank clank—
The sound of twisting metal broke the ambiguous atmosphere.
Child Emperor was squatting in the ruins, his small hand pressed against a twisted steel bar. The metal reshaped and deformed in his palm like playdough, instantly forming precise mecha parts.
He worked diligently, calling out without looking up,
"By the way, Dad! Should we go support other cities next? The Association Headquarters seems to be in a mess!"
"Da… Dad?!!!"
These two earth-shattering words landed like a heavy bomb thrown into a calm lake, instantly igniting the nerves of all the women.
