On the battlefield, Broly, fully unleashed in his Super Saiyan state, seized the fleeting instant when Ashveil's Supreme King Haki Shield shattered and had yet to reform.
He surged forward without hesitation.
His fist was already raised.
As it descended, heaven and earth seemed to tremble.
Lightning crackled around Broly's knuckles, and an overwhelmingly violent explosive force gathered within that single punch.
Every onlooker grew tense.
With Ashveil's Conqueror's Haki defense momentarily gone, Broly's fist was about to land at point blank range.
If even the Supreme King Haki Shield could not endure that blow, how could Ashveil's armor alone withstand it?
Anxiety spread through every watching world.
Boom!
In the next instant, Ashveil activated his Overlord Color Domain and vanished.
Yet Broly moved at the exact same moment.
Ashveil let out a quiet gasp.
Broly arrived at the same position at the same time as him.
That should have been impossible.
No matter how fast Broly was, he should have arrived a fraction later.
Instead, they appeared simultaneously.
Ashveil's thoughts raced.
Then realization struck.
Ultra Instinct?
The idea surfaced instinctively.
Had Broly learned Ultra Instinct from Kakarot?
Ashveil dismissed the thought almost immediately.
Ultra Instinct required absolute calm, a mind as still as water.
Broly was completely berserk.
There was no way he could use true Ultra Instinct.
And yet, Broly was clearly using something similar.
One was perfect clarity.
The other was absolute madness.
Two opposite extremes, yet both reached the same result.
It was… fascinating.
"ROAR!"
Broly did not give Ashveil time to think further.
He was already there.
Boom!
A terrifying punch slammed into Ashveil's body, shattering his Supreme King Haki Armor instantly.
Under the overwhelming force, the blow pierced straight through the armor.
Fragments of condensed Conqueror's Haki scattered across the sky.
They fell like meteors, crashing toward the ground.
Each fragment carried defensive power even greater than Ashveil's former Supreme King Haki Shield.
One shard struck Saitama directly.
Boom!
A violent shockwave erupted around him, carving out a massive crater nearly ten thousand meters deep beside his position.
Saitama staggered back, staring at his arm in disbelief.
It was bleeding.
His expression froze.
Just a fragment… and it injured him?
He looked back up at the sky, eyes filled with shock.
The artificial planet was riddled with holes, its surface resembling a living purgatory.
Before Saitama could recover from the shock, an even more horrifying sight unfolded.
Broly's fist had pierced straight through Ashveil's heart.
Saitama's eyes widened, his lips trembling.
"No way… did Broly actually defeat Ashveil?"
"Is his physical strength really that terrifying?"
Across the Pirate World, disbelief swept through the crowd.
"This… this is impossible," Whitebeard, Edward Newgate, muttered hoarsely.
"Ashveil actually fell?"
Golden Lion Shiki stared in disbelief, his expression mirroring Whitebeard's.
"That monster… defeated Ashveil? That can't be real!"
Nearby, Dracule Mihawk clenched his sword tightly, his fingers trembling.
Ashveil had always been the standard he chased, and seeing him fall to a barbarian was hard to accept.
Marco shouted Ashveil's name instinctively, his voice filled with urgency.
The atmosphere among the Whitebeard Pirates grew unbearably heavy.
On the Marine side, silence reigned.
Sengoku and Garp exchanged looks, both seeing the same disbelief in each other's eyes.
Time and time again, Ashveil had overturned despair with absolute dominance.
Yet now, he had been pierced before everyone's eyes.
Even Kizaru's sunglasses glinted faintly.
"That kid… Ashveil… actually lost?"
Kaido and Charlotte Linlin stared upward, deep in thought.
"Impossible," Kaido growled.
"I've fought him. That brat always has tricks. No way he falls this easily."
In the Shinobi World, expressions turned grave.
Kakashi frowned deeply.
"If that invader wins, we'll have to make our final stand."
He activated his Sharingan, already analyzing Broly's movements.
Shikamaru spoke quickly.
"He relies only on brute force. If he invades, sealing techniques might work."
Naruto clenched his fists.
"No matter how strong he is, I won't let him invade our world. That's my ninja way."
Even Uchiha Madara was stunned.
Ashveil had once crushed him instantly, yet now…
The Sage of Six Paths fell into deep contemplation, already considering large scale sealing methods.
In the One Punch Man World, panic spread.
Tatsumaki trembled, her arrogance completely gone.
"That monster… he's beyond God level. If he invades us, how do we stop him?"
Child Emperor spoke with a grim expression.
"According to my calculations, if Broly enters our world, it would take him one second to destroy the planet."
Despair filled the air.
On the battlefield, Broly laughed loudly.
"You're dead now, Ashveil!"
His voice echoed across heaven and earth, instilling fear in all who heard it.
Then, something strange happened.
The Ashveil Broly had pierced transformed into a Conqueror's Haki construct, solidifying into a wax like figure.
Broly's arm was stuck inside it.
His expression shifted instantly.
He tried to pull his arm free.
No matter how hard he pulled, it would not budge.
Hope reignited across the watching worlds.
In the One Punch Man World, Tatsumaki stared upward in disbelief.
"He's not dead… Ashveil isn't dead?"
She bit her lip lightly.
"That hateful man… playing dead again."
Relief spread everywhere.
If Broly truly won, resistance would be meaningless.
Even monsters from the Monster Association exhaled in relief.
Overgrown Rover stared upward.
"That Ashveil… what kind of ability is this?"
Black Sperm nodded nervously.
"At least we survived this hurdle."
High above, aboard Boros's ship, Boros watched silently.
He finally understood how insignificant he truly was.
In the Shinobi World, Onoki widened his eyes.
"That technique… is that similar to a clone? Ashveil knows ninjutsu?"
Shikamaru was stunned.
"If that's the case, this battle isn't over."
On the battlefield, Broly struggled violently, his arm still trapped.
At that moment, the Conqueror's Haki clone began to glow from within.
Lightning, light, freezing power, countless energies intertwined.
The mixture became unstable.
Then it detonated.
Boom!
A terrifying explosion erupted at point blank range.
The shockwave carved a massive crater tens of thousands of meters wide into the ground.
Smoke and debris engulfed the entire artificial planet.
Broly howled in pain.
One of his arms was blown off, his body riddled with injuries.
Yet the chaos did not end there.
The air itself became saturated with violent, mixed energies.
Above the battlefield, Ashveil manifested thousands of Conqueror's Haki clones, each one filled with that same destructive, chaotic power.
