Disaster was almost beginning. Eldor's soldiers had started swarming everywhere while the Warriors and the western heroes fought back desperately, defeating wave after wave of enemies, but there were simply too many of them. No matter how many enemies they killed, it barely made a difference. At the front lines, Luka threw the stones aside and jumped directly into the middle of the enemy forces, destroying a huge number of soldiers, yet even after that the enemy army still looked endless. Then Akiro descended from above and unleashed his Volcano Fist, wiping out a massive area full of enemies, but countless soldiers still remained. Lenor joined Luka and used his poison abilities, spreading toxic energy through the battlefield, though the enemies still did not decrease enough. After that, Lazoro froze large groups of enemies with ice, created a gigantic ice monster, and fired a devastating ice beam across the battlefield, but even that was not enough. Finally, Leonardo and Stardust combined their powers and launched blazing star meteors from the sky, causing enormous destruction, yet the enemy army still refused to fall. Meanwhile, the missile's launch percentage slowly continued rising, forcing everyone to think of a new plan.
At the same time, Pugo and Eldor stood face to face, staring at each other with furious expressions. Pugo demanded to know who Eldor worked for, and Eldor calmly answered, "Kroko." Pugo's eyes widened in shock as he immediately realized that the Krokos were the same clan the Drakulas, Luvo's clan, had been fighting against for years. Pugo took a battle stance and coldly declared that the Krokos were dishonorable and fake. Eldor smirked and simply told him to attack. Pugo instantly drew his sword and charged forward, slashing Eldor directly, but Eldor did not even move. Shocked, Pugo continued attacking over and over again, yet Eldor felt absolutely nothing. Finally, Eldor grabbed Pugo and hurled him away. Pugo crashed into a house deep in the forest, destroying it completely as smoke filled the air. Moments later, Pugo crawled out of the rubble in terrible condition, unable to believe Eldor's overwhelming strength. Even so, he refused to give up. Pugo activated his Time Technique: Time Stop, freezing time around Eldor. He immediately followed with his Energy Serpent Technique, creating a giant serpent made of energy that fired a massive beam from its mouth straight toward Eldor. A gigantic explosion consumed the area, and Pugo believed he had finally damaged him, but when the smoke cleared, Eldor stood there completely unharmed without a single scratch. Pugo stared in disbelief and desperately began thinking of a way to hurt him.
Meanwhile, Eldor's soldiers continued attacking in order to launch the missile. Luka began firing powerful light beams, finally causing serious damage to the enemy forces, while the others continued fighting with everything they had. Pegas and Jamie started working together as Pegas stretched his arm like rubber and enlarged it massively while Jamie transformed into an eagle and launched razor-sharp feather daggers from the sky. Pegas threw a gigantic punch that crushed large groups of enemies. Meanwhile, Loppo hypnotized several enemy soldiers and turned them against their own army. At the same time, Luvo and Lino prepared something unusual. Lino transformed into a giant muscular parrot while Luvo opened his wind cape and began throwing ninja stars directly toward him. The enemies were confused until Lino suddenly ducked, allowing the ninja stars to slice through dozens of enemies behind him. Luvo then leaped off Lino and spun his sword, creating a massive tornado that dragged enemies into the air, and when the tornado finally vanished, the enemies were left heavily injured. Elsewhere, Mariana had created giant mechanical arms that launched missiles across the battlefield, causing explosions everywhere, while Solom unleashed enormous storms that lifted enemies into the air and tore through them with destructive force. Everyone fought with everything they had, yet the missile continued progressing toward launch. Luka suddenly hesitated, slowly flew upward, and became lost in thought.
At the same moment, Pugo continued attacking Eldor relentlessly, but Eldor ignored every strike effortlessly. Eventually, Eldor grew tired of it, walked toward Pugo, and smashed him into a wall with a single punch, tearing apart half of Pugo's protective armor. Pugo stared at Eldor in amazement, overwhelmed by his terrifying strength. Refusing to surrender, Pugo activated his Grand Time Technique, rushed forward, and created a brand-new move called Energy Fist. He slammed the glowing punch directly into Eldor, and for the first time Eldor looked surprised. He had finally taken damage. A small crack appeared in his defense, and he stepped back slightly. Pugo smiled in excitement, but the moment he looked into Eldor's eyes, he realized Eldor had not even reached his limit yet. In an instant, Eldor teleported beside him and delivered another devastating punch that launched Pugo into a wall once again, causing even greater damage. Eldor grabbed him again, spun him around violently, and hurled him far away. Pugo flew through the air with dizzy spinning eyes and crashed into another wall in an almost comedic way. Even then, Pugo picked up his sword and charged again, but before he could react, Eldor teleported beside him and punched him once more, sending him flying through multiple trees before he finally slammed into the ground. Now Pugo was completely exhausted. His clothes were torn apart, and he could barely breathe anymore. Eldor slowly approached him and quietly said that he was not going to kill him. Pugo looked up in shock as Eldor explained that the reason was because Pugo's father had once helped him long ago.
Eldor then began telling the story of his past. Years ago, when Eldor was much younger, he dreamed of becoming one of the strongest Krokos. Every day he trained by punching wooden boards and trees until they shattered with a single hit. One day, news spread about a tournament designed to test warriors with different abilities, and the grand prize was 200 million gold from the government. Eldor immediately signed up. Later, while meeting his friends beneath a giant tree in the forest, Eldor excitedly told them that if he won the money, he would build a massive gathering place for all of them and maybe even buy a cheap spaceship. His friends completely believed in him, and together they raised their hands into the air shouting, "The greatest is Eldor!" The next day, the tournament finally began. Eldor arrived full of confidence and noticed a pale-haired man with glasses standing quietly in one corner. It was Pugo's father. Eldor approached him and asked for his name. The man smiled warmly and introduced himself as Edward. Eldor happily introduced himself too, while Edward calmly said he was pleased to meet him. The tournament began, and Eldor entered his first match while hearing his friends cheering loudly from the audience. He dodged every attack from his opponent with ease before knocking him unconscious with three powerful punches. As he kept winning match after match, he quickly gained many fans until he eventually reached the finals. However, when he saw his final opponent, he froze in shock. It was Edward. Unlike the others, Edward fought using a wooden sword-like staff instead of his fists. Eldor confidently declared that it would not matter, and the final battle began. Eldor attacked aggressively with his punches, but Edward blocked every strike effortlessly using the wooden staff before counterattacking with incredible speed and knocking Eldor to the ground. Still, Eldor managed to land a punch that sent Edward flying backward, but just before Edward could finish the fight with a final blow, he suddenly stopped. Edward looked at Eldor with pity before stepping away from the battlefield and intentionally disqualifying himself. The crowd believed Edward had been too afraid to continue, and everyone, especially Eldor's friends, rushed to celebrate Eldor's victory. However, Eldor understood the truth. Edward had spared him on purpose. From that day onward, Eldor trained endlessly, grew stronger, awakened his Prime form, and eventually became nearly unbeatable, leading him to the present day.
As Pugo listened to the story, he became emotional. Eldor deeply respected and cared about Edward, yet another part of him still carried hatred toward him. Eldor looked at Pugo once more, and the hatred inside him slowly faded away again. Then Eldor activated a terrifying technique called Rainbow Punch. A gigantic rainbow-colored energy fist formed around his hand while Pugo stared at it with fearful eyes. For the first time in the battle, Pugo felt completely helpless.
