"ROOOAAARR!!!"
The earth itself seemed to tremble under the beast's furious bellow.
Even though it was already dead—nothing but a towering skeleton—a Super Danger Beast was still a Super Danger Beast. Its threat level remained off the charts.
And under the control of the Imperial Arm Eight Directions, Deis Tagru had regained nearly all the power it had possessed when alive.
"Do it, Deis Tagru!!!"
At Kurome's command, the skeletal monster opened its jaws wide. A surge of dreadful energy built up and burst forth.
BOOM!
A deep-blue energy beam shot through the canyon,and the world rumbled in response—mountains cracked, the ground split open.
When the explosion finally faded, even the shape of the land had changed.
Hssss...
Across the countless realms, countless watchers drew sharp breaths.
"Yohohoho~! So this is the power of a Super Danger Beast?"Brook chuckled nervously. "It's already dead—just bones!—and it can still do that? That's terrifying!"
"If that's its strength even in death," said Gray, the Ice Mage, his face grave,"then imagine what it was like alive. It could probably wipe out a whole city—or a nation."
Shanks, the Red-Haired Emperor, murmured quietly,"It seems we've underestimated this world's power levels.Compared to Imperial Arms users, it's the Danger Beasts—especially the Super-class ones—that truly rule this world."
Reborn, the world's most dangerous infant, clicked his tongue in awe."The Imperial Arms are made from Danger Beast parts—like Cross Tail, woven from the fur of a beast that lives in the clouds.And Esdeath, the so-called peak of humanity—she gained her ice powers just by drinking the blood of one.Makes you wonder how strong the original creature was."
"In terms of disaster ranking," murmured Fubuki from the One Punch world, "that thing's at least Oni-level.Maybe even close to Dragon-level!" She couldn't help but shiver.
"Hmm… Deis Tagru, huh?" Toriko from the Gourmet world wiped the drool from his chin."I'd say that's at least Capture Level 50… too bad it's just bones now. I'd love to taste it!"
While the watchers across the multiverse exchanged their thoughts, the battle continued on-screen.
Kurome's corpse puppets were powerful—but not invincible.Compared to living Imperial Arms users, they were a step weaker.
Former General Liver's puppet was defeated by his old comrade, Boss Najenda.With Chelsea's support, Tatsumi—his body half-possessed by an evil spirit—managed to slay the brute gorilla puppet and the barbarian killer, finally facing Kurome herself.
Leone had lost an arm to Kurome's blade,but as the wielder of the Beast King's Imperial Arm, her vitality and regeneration were unmatched.The bleeding stopped almost instantly. The arm could be reattached later.For now, her priority was covering Akame as she went to face Bols.
Meanwhile, twin-tailed loli Mine was swallowed by a giant frog puppet.Luckily, she escaped alive—though her dress and stockings didn't survive the frog's digestive acid.Her battle-damaged look and blushing face sent every lolicon across the multiverse into a frenzy.
"But even if they take out all the corpse puppets," someone said,"if they can't defeat that Super Danger Beast, it's all for nothing!"
"Yeah," another agreed, "the humanoid Imperial Arm, Susanoo, is strong,and his regeneration is impressive—but…"
"Against a Super Danger Beast, he just doesn't have the firepower!"
As the countless spectators fretted—
Najenda spoke, her voice calm and commanding."Susanoo, as your master, I authorize you to use the Hidden Technique."
"Understood."
Susanoo's tone was serene, but power stirred within him.
He activated his unique biological-type berserk mode—drawing life energy directly from Najenda's spirit through the magatama embedded in his chest.
The Wrathful Spirit—Manifest!
As her life force flowed into him, his form began to change.A shimmering bronze mirror appeared behind him,his hair turned white, and his entire presence shifted—calm, divine, overwhelming.
Facing the Super Danger Beast's incoming energy beam,the transformed Susanoo didn't dodge.
He simply reached out a massive hand.
"Yata Mirror!"
The bronze mirror moved to his front, shining brightly—absorbing the destructive beam that could reshape the land itself.
Then, it reflected it—straight back at the monster.
In the next instant, Susanoo raised his left hand.Golden light flared in his palm.His body vanished, reappearing above the beast's skull.
"Ame-no-Murakumo Sword!"
A colossal spirit blade formed in his grasp,and with a single downward swing—
SLASH!
He cleaved the Super Danger Beast cleanly in two.
"Woooahhh!!!"
All across the realms, voices cried out in shock and awe.
Everyone had thought Deis Tagru was unbeatable—but Susanoo had been holding back a final form this whole time.
"The berserk form of Susanoo is just… insanely cool!"
"Not only is he loyal, cooks, cleans, and even does laundry—but he fights like a god! I need ten of him!"
"If that's the true power of Susanoo, maybe—just maybe—he could even stand against Esdeath!"
As the discussion erupted across the multiverse,Susanoo's popularity skyrocketed.
"Wait a sec," said a Marine soldier from the One Piece world."Those moves—'Yata Mirror' and 'Ame-no-Murakumo Sword'—don't they sound a lot like Kizaru's techniques?"
Kizaru pursed his lips and gave his usual lazy grin."Well now… that's one terrifying sword, isn't it~?"
"..."
