Chapter 98: Above the Heavens, Below the Earth! One Man Becomes God! The Anti-Spiral of the Infinite Box?!!
『 The 3,000-kilometer giant Arc-Gurren Lagann blots out the sky!
A terrifying punch directly shatters space, knocking the enemy into a different dimension.
But just as everyone is cheering, the moon, which was originally shining brightly, suddenly turns completely pitch black, its surface covered in crimson patterns.
In the next moment, the elliptical moon unfolds, and a terrifyingly gigantic, pitch-black, and crimson Gunmen stands erect in the void.
All life on Earth watches this scene in horror.
Everything the Spiral King said was true!
What appeared before were merely the enemy's small fry; the moon is a Gunmen, and at the same time, a giant timer!
When the human population breaks the one million mark, this giant Gunmen, millions of kilometers in size, will launch a devastating attack on the entire Earth!
Watching the giant Gunmen swing its fist, about to smash into Earth—a fist tens of thousands of kilometers wide falling like a super planet meant to exterminate all things—Simon immediately blocks the path of the fist!
Even the Arc-Gurren Lagann, standing at a towering 3,000 kilometers, looks as insignificant as a bug in front of it!
BUT GIVING UP IS ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE!!!
The terrifying pressure directly beats the Arc-Gurren Lagann into a state of overload! Sharp, piercing alarms ring non-stop! 』

"Go, go! Absolutely do not give up!"
Uzumaki Naruto watched Simon and the others struggling to hold on, the blood flowing in his body feeling as if it were about to ignite!
You absolutely cannot lose here!
Behind you is your home!

『 Looking at that terrifying pitch-black Gunmen, a smile appears on the corner of the mouth of the Spiral King, who is now only a head. He seems to have anticipated all of this; he shows no surprise, and a look of nostalgia appears in his spiral eyes.
"That is exactly my race's battleship," the Spiral King laments.
He does not hesitate and chooses to help Simon and the others. He shows Simon that as long as Simon inserts his drill into the moon's core, he can control the Gunmen!
And Simon and the others do not hesitate either; their unrivaled conviction transforms into a massive drill, boring into the interior of the moon with unstoppable momentum!
But just when they are one step away from the core, Simon's heaven-piercing drill stops.
Because standing right in front of the drill… is shockingly Nia!
The controlled Nia stands in the way. At this moment, Nia is being manipulated by the Anti-Spirals; her mission is to let Simon and the others, who are Spirals, be destroyed.
"Stop with the grand philosophies, move!" Simon says firmly.
"Then shatter me, and insert that drill. That will suffice," Nia says flatly.
"Then bring it on!" Viral doesn't care about all that; he doesn't like Nia anyway!
Not only can Simon not bring himself to do it, but even the Spiral King stops them. The Spiral King explains the reason to everyone: right now, Nia's physical body is composed of the same energy matter as the Faceless (Anti-Spiral units).
If they crush her, the control system will explode and be destroyed along with her.
To have come this far…
Everyone looks grim. This is no longer a time where sacrificing one person saves many; now, no matter what choice they make, they will face destruction!
"This is absolute despair," the controlled Nia speaks. "Your Spiral ancestors possessed a very strong survival instinct, so we pinched off the buds of hope one by one. Just when it seems like there is hope, and you realize there is actually no hope…"
"That is when you will fall into deep despair."
At this moment, everyone realizes that all of this was the enemy's design! How ironic!
"That is correct. Fear and despair are the greatest inhibitors to the constantly rising Spiral," Nia explains. 』

〜Bleach World〜
"…It is indeed an unsolvable situation."
Aizen looks at the current situation, and for a moment, even he cannot think of how to break it.
If those two restrictions didn't exist, he would kill Nia without hesitation. But killing Nia now would also cause the massive Gunmen to explode.
"What will you do?"
A look of curiosity appears on Aizen's face.

〜Akame ga Kill World〜
"This time, choosing between the world and the one I love isn't an option—how truly hopeless it feels."
Bulat sighs, but there isn't much sorrow on his face.
Because he believes that the young boy who inherited Kamina's will absolutely will not fall into a place like this!
—
『 Nia's words are denied by Simon. He looks at Nia and says softly, "Nia, I suddenly feel like you are training us, humans."
A look of astonishment appears on Nia's face.
Simon continues, "No matter how desperate the situation, we have stood up. The more difficult the situation you set up, the stronger we become."
"So, the fact that we appear here isn't exactly what you hoped for?"
Nia wants to deny it, but under Simon's deep affection, he completely awakens Nia's heart!
The world, the woman… THIS TIME HE WANTS BOTH!!!
His roaring conviction turns into a drill that inserts into the core without hesitation!
And under Simon's efforts, that giant Gunmen, tens of thousands of kilometers in size, is completely controlled by the group!
The Transcendent Super Spiral Dreadnought Gunmen: Super Galaxy Gurren Lagann is born!
"Thank you, Nia." Just when Simon thinks it can end, Nia reveals a terrifying truth.
The battle is not over. Fate cannot be changed. Because the Human Extermination System on Earth has been nullified, the main body of the Anti-Spirals will soon arrive in this galaxy.
When that happens…
And Nia is forcibly summoned to the Anti-Spiral homeworld. Nia's eyes go dim. Simon wants to save her… but that possibility is infinitely close to zero.
"But it's not zero, right? Then to me, that is a one hundred percent possibility!"
"Will you come to pick me up…" Light blooms in the girl's eyes. In this moment, the maiden is like an angel!
"Yeah, who the hell do you think I am!"
Although he said that, the group knows nothing about the Anti-Spirals' location. Do they have to wait for the Anti-Spirals to arrive?!
No! The Spiral King uses the ring on Nia's hand to track the Anti-Spirals' location!
The group pulls the real moon out, and at the same time, they embark on the true battle!
At this moment, THE ANTI-SPIRALS ARE THEIR TRUE ENEMY!!!
"Let's go! This is the final battle!"
The Great Expedition BEGINS—!!!! 』

[ Huo Linfei (Ultra Beast Force): "Even if the win rate is zero, we absolutely won't give up! Fight! For Nia, for the world!" ]

"That's right! As long as our chance of winning isn't zero, then there is a huge possibility of winning!"
Even if the enemy is a god, an unrivaled existence, so what!
As long as there is a sliver of hope to survive, they will not give up!
Riku holds Schwi's hand tightly and says firmly.

『 During this time, the Spiral King also tells everyone about the past. The Spiral races had also searched for the Anti-Spiral headquarters, but never found them, and were eventually suppressed by the Anti-Spirals to such a state.
In this universe, the concept of space is very vague. Only from the moment it is recognized does it count as confirmed. This is the truth of this universe.
Even in a closed universe, as long as there is an object that has been recognized once, it can react to the Super Spiral Sonar!
And the Spiral races are hiding in this closed pocket of space. It was precisely Simon and Nia's love that allowed them to discover the Anti-Spirals' location!
After crossing an unknown number of light-years, when the group arrives at a desolate space in the universe, a light bright enough to illuminate the entire universe blooms before their eyes!
The cold, emotionless voice of the Anti-Spiral appears in everyone's ears.
"People born on the edge of this universe, struggling painfully, clinging to so-called justice. This is the inherent vice of you Spiral races. When Spiral life indulges in the pleasure of evolution…"
"…it will invite the destruction of this universe. Experience the weight of this sin yourselves."
As the voice falls, a pitch-black Dead Sea comes from the other shore. A terrifying wave swallows the Arc-Gurren Lagann, which is millions of kilometers in size, completely!
That cosmic tsunami not only makes it difficult for them to move, but more terrifyingly, this compressed space tsunami of ultra-high density is devouring the energy inside the Gurren Lagann!
In just the blink of an eye, 70% of the energy inside the Gurren Lagann has been consumed!
To escape, they must open a passage, but in just a moment, the energy in Simon's body is completely drained! 』
『 .....』
〜Myriad Worlds livestream Chat〜
[ Shirai Kuroko (A Certain Magical Index): "How is that possible?! How can there be a tsunami in space?! And calculating based on the volume of the Arc-Gurren Lagann, wouldn't this tsunami span several light-years?!" ]
[ Kyubey (Puella Magi Madoka Magica) "Is this…?! A cosmic sea formed after the death of a universe?! Unbelievable! Simply unbelievable! I cannot imagine what level the Anti-Spirals have reached!" ]
[ Bulat (Akame Ga Kill): "A cosmic ocean of dead universes? It's hard to even picture, and no surprise it feels so full of despair." ]
[ Accelerator (A Certain Magical Index): "Condensed materialization of antimatter particles? A Dirac Sea?" ]
[ Rick Sanchez (Rick And Morty): "The things controlled by existences that have reached the peak are constantly overturning your cognition." ]
[ The Beyonder (Earth-616): "Simon and his group have already reached the limit of existence within a galaxy, but they are still so powerless against the Anti-Spirals. It seems the road is still very long." ]

〜Monster Universe〜
In the chaos, an infinitely small figure simply yawns, and immediately, countless multiverses begin to collapse layer by layer.
Glancing at the situation on the screen, Shin Godzilla instantly understands the current situation.
Spiral Power? That is the power of origin and termination of that world.

『 In this moment of crisis, the second brother, Kittan, steps forward. He voluntarily separates from the Arc-Gurren Lagann, transforming into a drill and charging madly towards the core!
But the density inside the core of the Universal Dead Sea is hundreds of times that of the outside. The terrifying pressure directly crushes his Gunmen!
Just as everyone is in grief, a tiny Gunmen drills out from that explosion!
Although its volume differs by thousands upon thousands of times from before! The terrifying aura at this moment seems as if it wants to pierce the heavens!
I WILL OPEN THE PATH!!!
At this moment, Kittan awakens Spiral Power!
"This is the drill of Gurren Lagann that I borrowed as a good luck charm! Let me use it! This is Simon's, Team Dai-Gurren's, humanity's… NO! THIS IS MY SOUL!!!"
"SO HOW COULD I BE SWALLOWED BY TRASH LIKE YOU!!!" The roar resonates through the Sea of Death, and Kittan's eyes are filled with spiral patterns!
That drill pierces through the core of the Universe Termination Sea, amplifying the power a hundred million times!
Because the Sea of the Universe is destroyed, the energy of the entire sea area surges into the Arc-Gurren Lagann!
"Kittan, I have inherited your dying will!"
"LET'S DO THIS!!!"
In countless galaxies, the Anti-Spiral battleships watch this scene quietly. In the next moment, within the pitch-black Universal Dead Sea, endless brilliance flashes!
Some terrifying existence is about to emerge from within!
A gigantic mecha breaks through the Universal Dead Sea, the conviction of a best friend branded upon its body, turning infinite darkness into light!
"Heaven and Earth, One Rider Equals a God!"
(Tenjou Tenge, Ikki Toushin!)
"SUPER GALAXY GURREN LAGANN!!!"
"LET ME SHOW YOU THE POWER OF HUMANITY!!!" Simon roars with a ferocious expression. He reaches out his hand, and immediately the figure of the Super Galaxy Gurren Lagann crosses dozens of light-years, grabbing an Anti-Spiral battleship and crushing it!
The terrifying battle spreads across tens of thousands of light-years!
Countless planets float in the cosmic void. In the next moment, the Anti-Spiral battleships grow black hands, directly picking up planets and smashing them at Simon and the others!
But in front of the Super Galaxy Gurren Lagann, even exploding planets cannot harm it in the slightest!
"Super Galaxy Great Cutter!" A terrifying boomerang is thrown violently. It spans countless light-years, slicing through all the Anti-Spiral battleships one by one! 』

〜Three-Body Problem World〜
…How far has the simulation progressed?
The Trisolaran leader is confused, sluggish, and at a loss. Clearly… they were simulating very diligently…
But then, whoosh, it suddenly reached a level they absolutely could not touch.
It's like a human civilization that hasn't even touched fire, suddenly arriving at the civilization of the Zero-Homers (Returners).
You talk to him about the multiverse, and he just screams at you?
Silence. Deathly silence.
At this moment, no one believes Kyubey's nonsense anymore.
What "if you can observe it, you can interfere with it; if you can interfere with it, you can dominate it"…
Pure bullsh*T!!!

『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』
HEAVEN AND EARTH, ONE RIDER EQUALS A GOD!!!
Looking at the Super Galaxy Gurren Lagann's aura, which was domineering to the extreme, appearing as if it would break through everything, everyone's scalp tingled violently!
Planets picked up casually, tens of thousands of light-years crossed easily—is this a battle between the strong?!
This unparalleled, shocking scene stimulates everyone's scalp every single moment!
IT'S TOO FIERY (HYPE)!!!
If it goes on like this, Simon's drill will definitely…
But in the next moment, everyone's eyes widen violently. They seem to see something horrifying, their eyes filled with shock and trembling.
That… What is that?!!
.....
『 The entire universe seems to stand still—
"——" An indescribable crimson scratch appears in the universe.
Before Simon and the others can celebrate, a crimson tear is ripped open in the void, and a large hand reaches out from it.
Following that is a pitch-black head, large beyond boundaries. Its gray-white eyes seem filled with chaos and disorder!
In front of that black shadow spanning tens of thousands of light-years, the Super Galaxy Gurren Lagann, which had already reached the limits of the galaxy, is now so insignificant.
Simon's expression suddenly becomes incredibly sluggish. He stares blankly at the Anti-Spiral before him, a bone-chilling coldness rushing to his heart.
This is… the Anti-Spiral?!! 』
『 .....』
『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』
Everyone swallows their saliva with difficulty, a great sense of absurdity rising in their hearts. This is… Simon's ultimate enemy?!
How are they supposed to fight something like this?!
A guess suddenly flashes in everyone's mind. Perhaps Simon is not like the Madoka world, where only Madoka is the strongest.
Perhaps, in this world, Simon isn't the only one who has reached the Infinite Box (Infinite Dimensions/Power Scale)…
Does that mean, perhaps… the Anti-Spirals reached the Infinite Box long ago?!
