In the high altitude, over a hundred thousand meters up.
Lin and Gid separated by a distance of a thousand meters following a collision of blows.
Raising his right hand, flowing light gathered.
The modified power of Heaven Strike converged in his hand, transforming into a three-meter-long purple-gold energy spear.
With a light wave of his right hand.
The Heaven Strike spear turned into a streak of flowing light, shooting toward Gid at extreme speed.
It dragged a long purple-gold tail behind it.
Wherever it passed, the atmosphere annihilated.
Even the surface layer of space seemed to be torn apart.
Compressed within it was enough energy to destroy half an Earth-like planet.
"Not bad, you've got something there!"
Sensing the power concealed within the Heaven Strike spear, Gid's eyes brightened slightly, and a touch of fighting spirit emerged in his gaze.
His desire for battle turned over.
The tail behind him, which resembled the tip of a spear-halberd, bloomed with light, emitting a beam formed of compressed energy.
The beam collided with the Heaven Strike spear.
Blinding light bloomed.
At the center where the two attacks collided, terrifying energy constantly clashed and ground against itself, finally resulting in a violent explosion.
With a booming sound.
It covered an area of thousands of miles.
Two streaks of flowing light rushed out from within.
They instantly left the atmosphere of Planet Mestea and arrived in outer space.
Whether it was Lin or Gid, this bit of environmental factor in outer space could not cause the slightest impact on them.
Lin employed Kingship Descent.
This was one of the four great abilities of the Supreme Kingship, used for the first time.
In his consciousness space, seven Swords of Damocles bloomed with light.
The Force within his body was consumed rapidly.
A great sword, similar to the Silver Sword of Damocles but integrating the characteristics of all the Swords of Damocles, took form.
This sword was named Heaven's Punishment.
This Heaven's Punishment sword was about a thousand meters long.
Concealed within it was the power to instantly destroy an Earth-like planet.
Seemingly merging with space, it appeared instantly above Gid.
Then, it fell toward Gid at extreme speed.
Looking up, Gid's gaze narrowed slightly.
He sensed a bit of a threat.
There was a threat, but not much.
He had no thought of dodging; instead, he released an attack with his tail, planning to take this move of Lin's head-on.
As a Universe Hegemon.
An attack of this level was not enough to make him dodge.
The terrifying pillar of energy light released from Gid's tail instantly collided with the Heaven's Punishment sword above.
At the location where the two collided, space seemed to crack open for an instant.
An energy vortex took form.
"Hmph!"
Gid's expression condensed slightly; he had underestimated the power of the Heaven's Punishment sword, so he increased his energy output, the light at the tip of his tail intensifying greatly.
The energy vortex compressed continuously.
Then, like the Big Bang of the universe, it exploded thunderously. The light was blinding, seemingly turning into a dark purple sun.
A terrifying shockwave of energy swept out in all directions.
On the spaceship where Zastin was, an alarm sounded. His expression changed:
"Quick, leave this place."
Opening the protective shields and engaging the engines, they quickly moved away from there.
Gid turned into a streak of flowing light and vanished from his spot, moving away from the center of the explosion.
Lin did the same.
The energy shockwave crossed a vast distance and swept onto Planet Mestea, causing massive destruction to the planet's surface.
Fortunately, due to Planet Mestea's special planetary environment, although there was life, no intelligent species had been born.
Let alone an intelligent civilization.
It still belonged to the category of a primitive planet.
After Lin and Gid moved away from the center of the explosion, they continued to unfold their battle.
Meteoric Burst!
The Force on Lin's body seemed to burn like flames.
Purple-gold traces emerged on his body.
Using Boros's strongest combat form, burning the energy within his body to gain speed and power that surpassed biological limits.
Turning into a purple-gold streak of flowing light and dragging a long tail behind him, Lin arrived in front of Gid instantly and threw a punch.
"!!!"
Surprise emerged in Gid's eyes.
He instantly displayed a similar method as well; energy from within his body flooded his whole being, turning into incomparably powerful propulsion.
Lin and Gid turned into two streaks of flowing light, constantly colliding in space.
In the blink of an eye, they collided hundreds of times.
The residual leaked power from every single one of their collisions was enough to easily destroy a satellite the size of the Moon.
Neither had any intention of stopping.
Lin was delighted to see such prey; having finally encountered an opponent against whom he could go all out, his fighting spirit was burning ragingly.
As if inheriting the conviction of that big brother who flew a spaceship to defeat the bald Great Demon King, he had to fight to his heart's content.
As for Gid, after roughly witnessing Lin's strength, although he had a thought of stopping, it only flashed by for a moment.
Influenced by Lin.
The fighting desire in his heart, which had been somewhat dormant since quelling the Galaxy War, was also ignited by Lin's fighting spirit.
Thus, the two enjoyed the battle.
It seemed neither had any intention of holding back.
They fought however felt most exhilarating.
Over ten million kilometers away, Zastin was shocked inside as he watched the battle footage presented on the detector.
He hadn't expected Lin to be this strong.
To think he could be evenly matched with their Deviluke Monarch.
He was so strong he didn't seem like an Earthling at all.
Even if the Monarch wasn't in his prime state right now, this was still astonishing.
Back during the pacification of the galactic wars, existences whose strength could approach a prime Gid could be counted on one hand.
As for those who rivaled or exceeded him...
As far as he knew, there wasn't a single one.
Their Monarch, Gid, was the strongest existence in the known universe.
Well, not counting Earth.
He didn't know exactly how strong the strongest existence on Earth was either.
When Monarch Gid went to the Solar System back then, he had already consumed a lot of energy due to years of fighting and wasn't in a prime state.
Moreover, Gid didn't reveal much about Earth afterward.
So, with Lin being so powerful, could his strength rank in the strongest tier in this special place called Earth?
Zastin couldn't help but feel curious.
Meanwhile, in space.
Lin and Gid were engaged in close-quarters combat with their burst modes active.
They didn't use other abilities.
Both had incomparably rich combat experience.
One was a Universe Hegemon who received training from a young age and spent ten or twenty years quelling the chaotic wars of the Galaxy.
The other possessed Martial Arts Mastery and inherited decades of combat experience from a Universe Hegemon of another world.
The two went back and forth, meeting every move with a counter; neither could do anything to the other.
Time passed slowly like this.
Three hours of Earth time later.
Lin and Gid pulled apart during a collision.
Smiles emerged on both their faces because the fighting was so exhilarating.
The next moment, space trembled.
Lin unfolded Domain Expansion: Kingship Territory.
As his strength increased, the abilities of the Supreme Kingship also improved, and now they had reached their capability cap.
For instance, Domain Expansion: Kingship Territory.
Initially, the maximum range could only cover a radius of ten thousand meters.
But now, it could cover a radius of ten thousand li, which was a radius of five thousand kilometers.
It could almost shroud the entire Earth.
Or for instance, Kingship Descent.
The maximum power before could only destroy a giant nation, but now it could achieve the destruction of a planet like Earth.
After unfolding the Kingship Domain, Lin did not sit high upon the throne.
His hands formed the gesture for the Kamehameha.
The Force within his body was compressed between his hands as if it cost nothing.
A purple-gold sphere of light condensed and rotated.
He was using Boros's strongest ultimate move that released all energy.
Collapsing Star Roaring Cannon!
Through special techniques, he compressed all his energy, condensing it to burst forth from a single point.
Because the energy in his body was infinite, the power of the Collapsing Star Roaring Cannon was also constantly growing, making it even more powerful than Boros's.
Entering the domain, a look of astonishment emerged in Gid's eyes.
As Lin charged the Collapsing Star Roaring Cannon, Gid's expression became grave; he finally chose not to hold back anymore.
Energy converged at the tip of the tail behind him.
Frantically compressing energy, it turned into a pink-purple sphere of energy light.
The next moment, both struck simultaneously.
Two attacks, either of which could easily destroy Earth hundreds or thousands of times over, crossed several thousand meters and collided together.
Lin and Gid began a beam struggle.
Lin chose to stand on the right.
Two forces that were almost on par collided together.
Due to the special nature of the Force, changes occurred at the center of the collision.
After about half a minute of the beam struggle.
A violent explosion suddenly occurred at the collision point, and then a massive spatial black hole was blasted open.
The Kingship Domain was broken for the first time.
"Hmm??!!"
At the very instant the Kingship Domain was blasted open, Lin saw the spatial black hole that was in the process of disappearing and was suddenly slightly stunned.
Somewhere in the unseen, there was a feeling.
Hesitation flashed past his heart in an instant.
The Domain of Time formed by the power of time shrouded the spatial black hole; the powers of time and space intertwined within the black hole.
Lin left a sentence for Gid, and the moment he sent Gid out of the Kingship Domain, he rushed into the time-space black hole.
The time-space black hole dissipated along with it.
In the cosmic space, Gid froze in place, furrowing his brows.
"Wait for me to come back."
These were the words Lin had left behind.
"Hmm? This is!"
Just then, some memories surged out from the depths of Gid's brain.
Meanwhile, on Planet Deviluke.
Inside the Chief Minister's office in the Galaxy Government Building.
A woman with pink hair reaching her waist, her face covered by a white veil, froze. Her pink eyes slowly widened!
She, remembered!
That figure deep in her memories that she had been dreaming about all this time!
The blurred face became incomparably clear.
Her right hand involuntarily placed itself on her lower abdomen.
There was something there that was precisely what that person had left behind back then.
