The battle has reached the point of no return. Reino's Universe Zone is erasing everything in existence.
Reino cloaks his entire body in natural energy.
Ninjutsu Technique: Resonance Pulse
He channels his blood into every limb—arms, legs, torso, and head. His aura aggressively feeds on the air, oxygen, light, and temperature, multiplying his power. Moving at a blistering speed, he blitzes into Sou's zone, burying a fist straight into his abdomen. A devastating Lighter Flash sends Sou hurtling through the void.
Feeling the sheer weight of the Resonance Pulse, Sou mutters, "He's reached a terrifying level..."
The two Universe Zones clash relentlessly, swallowing reality second by second.
The two domains collide. Blades of orange and white light rip through the air with a deafening "shhhhh-BAAM!" Sparks rain down as the light solidifies into raw plasma blades.
The battlefield is now pure glass. The buildings are gone. To the right, Reino's entire side has shattered into a radiant, white glass surface. To the left, Sou's territory glows in a crystalline, vibrant orange.
White and orange crash together, pushing against each other with cataclysmic force. Space warps, ears ring, and the earth trembles violently. Neither gives an inch.
Suddenly, Sou begins to blur, moving across the Universe Zone at an impossible velocity.
Reino's mind races in panic: What is he trying to do? Is he using raw speed to force time backward like Rena did? Damn you!)
With a flash-like strike, Sou unleashes a kick that slices Reino's Universe Zone clean in half. The boot connects square with Reino's face, launching him backward into the void at a staggering Mach 120,000.
Reino recoils in pure shock: (Impossible... he bypassed my Universe Zone entirely and is moving freely inside it!)
Sou's Universe Zone begins to rapidly consume the remaining space.
Reino: "I have no choice!"
Reino violently surges his energy, forcing his Universe Zone to swallow Sou's, instantly tearing them out of reality and warping them completely outside planet Earth into deep space.
Sou breaks into a maniacal laugh echoing through the vacuum: "What... what did you just do, you lunatic? Hahaha! This is suicide!"
But Reino merely smiles. He generates a white, crystalline bubble around himself that expands at a blinding pace.
Sou shouts in pure shock, "What on earth is that?! Damn you!"
He charges frantically, but the exact millisecond he breaches the bubble's perimeter, his momentum vanishes into thin air. It is as if his speed never existed. Before he can react, Reino blitzes him with a relentless barrage of strikes, carving deep, bloody gashes into his flesh. Sou tries desperately to counter, but he cannot even muster a movement. His Universe Zone, The Turbo Timeline of Planet Warp, fractures and shatters like brittle glass.
He never expected this; he truly thought Reino had given up. He struggles to shift his weight, but his entire body erupts in a spray of blood.
Sou screams in sheer desperation, "I can't move! I can't accomplish anything... ahhhh! He is erasing the very existence of everything I do!"
Loss of value: Happiness and success mean absolutely nothing without their opposites.
Flattening of experience: When nothing demands time or energy, nothing holds true worth.
Zero evolution: Without mistakes and personal sacrifice, humans remain stagnant.
Sou shrieks at the top of his lungs, "Damn it... are you even human?!"
His wounds are catastrophic, and his Universe Zone collapses into nothingness. With his face smashed against the floor, Sou locks his dying gaze onto Reino, who stands completely still, watching him. Sou struggles to lift his head, trying to fight his way back up, but his strength fails him, and he crashes heavily back onto the ground. Sou deactivates his Universe Zone, warping them back to Earth into a completely decimated wasteland. He channels every ounce of his remaining energy straight into his legs.
Reino's ability is still active. Lisou's energy erupts from his feet, spreading wildly around him. Gathering his remaining strength, he blitzes forward and buries a savage, energy-clad fist into Reino. The impact is so colossal that Reino is launched straight into a skyscraper, causing the entire structure to collapse into rubble as his white bubble shatters into nothingness.
Reino emerges from the debris, casually shoving giant boulders aside and crushing a concrete slab with his bare hand. Locking a fiercely ironic, arrogant gaze onto his opponent, he sneers:
"You know what I like about you, Lisou? That unshakeable confidence. But you forgot one fundamental thing. In my world, you are the one who needs permission to breathe."
Universe Zone: THE EXISTENCE OF LIFE OF SPREAD SPACE!
Lisou wipes the blood from his cheek, a wild, feral grin spreading across his face. Within a 150-meter radius, everything evaporates instantly, and the very ground beneath them is plunged back into pitch-black darkness.
Sou's voice echoes from deep within, heavy and strained, as if fighting its way through deep water:
(Universe Zone: THE EXISTENCE OF LIFE OF SPREAD SPACE... Heh, it has no roles, no special rules. It has only one law: whoever possesses the highest amount of energy holds absolute dominance. It's nothing more than a flat pair of scales. mocking laugh.
The lower half of Sou's body begins to fade into nothingness.
(I still have the mobility advantage, but I'm running out of time. As the ground evaporates, I might fall.
He lunges at Reino, but Reino ducks the punch with a swift tilt of his head. Lisou unleashes a barrage of blinding strikes. Reino evades them, but Sou catches his fist, counters furiously, shatters Reino's guard, and draws blood. Reino surges forward to retaliate. Sou braces to defend, but the rhythm breaks.
Reino moves at a flash-like velocity, projecting dozens of afterimages around Sou. Standing motionless at the epicenter, Sou closes his eyes for a fraction of a second before breaking into a low, condescending laugh:
"Are you seriously still sticking to this plan? Running around like a panicked insect, thinking this 'strategy' will make me dizzy. How pathetic for the strongest child of the Shino clan."
But a voice echoes simultaneously from every direction, blurred by sheer speed:
"I'm not trying to make you dizzy, Sou. I'm just enjoying the view right before you hit the floor."
Instantly, Sou's legs buckle, and he crashes down. Reino, fluidly cloaking his fist in natural energy, blurs behind him and drives a brutal strike straight into Sou's heart. The impact shatters the concrete, sending them both plunging deep into a crater.
"Good strategy. Trying to force me into close quarters," Sou grunts. Kicking off the walls, he shatters the surrounding earth, clamps his hand around Reino's throat, and blasts upward at a violent speed, dragging Reino through the breach. "This tactic of yours will only keep you alive for a few more seconds!"
Reino struggles to climb out from the depths, but Sou is already waiting. Snaring Reino by the legs, Sou sprints at a blistering pace, attempting to drag both of them clear out of the Universe Zone's boundaries!
Reino roars in fury, "You virgin, what the hell are you doing?"
Sou ignores him completely. Reino digs his fingers into the ground to anchor himself, but Sou, flashing a manic grin, snaps, "I always have the best crazy ideas. Goodbye!"
At that exact millisecond, Sou's legs vanish entirely from reality, and Reino is hurled out of his own Universe Zone.
Sou watches in twisted anticipation: (Let's see what happens now...)
Then, sheer panic hits him. The Universe Zone didn't collapse. "Why?! Why didn't it fade, damn you?!"
Before he can process it, Reino blitzes right back into his Zone. He unleashes a savage, relentless storm of punches, carving deep, agonizing wounds across Sou's frame.
Sou stares death dead in the face. He screams in raw anxiety and primal fear, "Impossible! No, no! This cannot be my end! I still have one final question about this miserable world... No!"
Suddenly, blood erupts from Reino's eyes and mouth. The internal pressure on his body is unbearable. His Universe Zone completely collapses.
The severe physical trauma previously inflicted by Sou Lisou had decimated his cells, leaving Reino utterly unable to maintain the structural integrity of his dimension. Sou's brutal counter-attack with RUSH CALLS has destroyed all of his internal organs
Reino drops to his knees, feeling his broken body give out, unable to even hold himself upright.
Sou, still breathing, bursts into a maniacal laugh, mocking Reino:
"What a joke! Your grand Universe Zone collapsed in a mere 1 minute and 21 seconds! Hahaha, I can't even take you seriously anymore! You actually lost your legs; I can't believe it!"
Reino braces his hand against a shattered wall, struggling to stand and stabilize his broken frame. He roars through the pain:
"I don't have much Nature Energy left... but I have just enough to wipe that smug grin off your face once and for all!"
He desperately tries to manifest his Universe Zone again but forces an overload—the nerves in his right arm violently rupture.
Sou clenches his fists, his remaining energy flickering like a dying candle. "We are finishing this... Reino." He forces his weight upward.
Instantly, both fighters deploy their highly advanced Pajoha—Opposite Pain technique, rerouting the catastrophic damage to other areas of their anatomy. Their mastery over the ability is so refined that they completely regenerate severed limbs, destroyed cells, and ruptured organs within seconds.
Sou lets out a twisted chuckle, "Oh, my God... I'm walking again!"
They both brace for the final exchange, their minds racing with lethal calculations:
Reino: (Wherever you hid your pain, Sou... I will find it, and I will crush it).
Sou: (That look in his eyes... he isn't going to strike blindly).
Locking eyes with Reino, Sou sneers, "That arrogance of yours makes me sick to my stomach."
