"Oh, my god~"
Tony couldn't help but open his faceplate and let out such an exclamation.
He had already given up trying to use Jarvis for energy index analysis because it was completely meaningless; even if he burned out Jarvis's CPU, it would be impossible to calculate the terrifying power of the scene before him.
Captain America's hand gripping his shield also subconsciously relaxed; the moment he looked at that Thousand-Armed Buddha, it was as if he were seeing God himself.
Gwen, Felicia, Sif, Daisy, and the other girls subconsciously exchanged glances, and all could read a deep sense of joy in each other's eyes!
Such a man was actually their boyfriend.
What else in this world could provide more security than this?
At this moment, the global audience was in an uproar.
The faith of countless people was deeply shaken at this moment!
After the God of Fear descended, neither God, the Buddha, nor Allah appeared.
Only that person appeared before everyone, using all sorts of incredible abilities to tell the world—even if you are a god, if you want to invade this Planet, I will beat you up!
In this instant, many people secretly made up their minds.
Why bother believing in God anymore!
From today on, I am the most loyal believer of The Arbiter Church!

...
On the battlefield of Buenos Aires.
Complex emotions churned in Cul's snake eyes.
He had even given up on opening his mouth to mock or question anything further.
Because... it was already too late.
The intense, needle-like sense of crisis in his mind was reminding him at every moment:
He must immediately take action to restrict this Midgardian's creation from continuing to grow stronger.
Otherwise, even he might fall under this terrifying power!
With this thought, the World Serpent opened its jaws wide, and a mass of dark green energy rapidly condensed within its mouth.
The volume of the energy orb expanded rapidly; in just two seconds, it had expanded to a diameter of nearly one hundred meters, and the destructive power contained within it caused the surrounding air to twist and warp.
"Die!"
Accompanied by a roar, the energy orb transformed into a blinding beam of light and erupted outward.
It was so fast that even sound couldn't keep up, dragging a trail of dark green flames as it headed straight for Peter.
But... he was fast, but the Susanoo Buddha was faster.
It didn't even require Peter to make a command gesture.
The twin blades in the Buddha's hands slashed forward.
In an instant, an "X"-shaped blade aura that connected heaven and earth appeared.
The blade light flashed past.
That energy orb, nearly one hundred meters in diameter, was split into four quarters right from the center. The four remaining masses of energy grazed past the left and right sides of the Buddha, exploding into four mushroom clouds on the distant mountains.
With just one slash, Cul's confident attack was rendered futile!
Cul's snake eyes constricted violently; just as he wanted to make another counterattack, the Susanoo Buddha had already charged up.
A thousand giant hands and a thousand long blades slashed forward simultaneously.
Without a doubt, this was a nearly brutal saturation attack.
The moment the first wave of blade arrays hit Cul's snake body, his dark green scales were sliced open in over a dozen places.
Golden divine blood sprayed out, tracing a heartbreakingly beautiful parabola in the air.
Cul let out a painful hiss, his snake body instinctively wanting to retreat.
But the thousand hands would not give him the chance to retreat.
The second wave followed closely behind.
The third wave.
The fourth wave.
The blade shadows overlapped, layer upon layer, so dense that even light couldn't penetrate them.
Every pink long blade carried the terrifying sharpness of Senbonzakura after its Bankai.
Combined with the power of the Buddha and the burning effect of the Susanoo's Chakra flames.
The combination of these three abilities was not as simple as 1+1+1=3!
The entire battlefield echoed with continuous roaring.
The earth trembled, mountains collapsed, and even the clouds in the sky were torn into fragments by the shockwaves, revealing streaks of broken void.
The World Serpent's massive body struggled violently in this storm of blades, its snake tail lashing out wildly against the Buddha.
But no matter how he struggled, it was to no avail.
The defense of the Susanoo-clad Buddha was so formidable that it was almost on par with his World Serpent body.
Instead, the output of Senkei: Senbonzakura Kageyoshi could easily pierce through his snake scales, leaving streaks of wounds on his body!
The roaring sound lasted for a full two minutes.
Two minutes later, a figure flew out backward from the mushroom cloud.
It wasn't Peter. It was Cul!
The thousand-meter-long serpent body fell from mid-air, crashing through an entire ruin area.
The massive snake body dragged across the ground, carving out a huge trench hundreds of meters long.
The serpent's body slammed heavily at the end of the trench, the stirred-up dust blotting out the sky.
The global audience collectively gasped in shock at this moment.
The God of Fear, Cul—had been beaten back.
Not only that! His snake body was covered in dense wounds, and most shockingly, his tail!
That tail of his, which was over a hundred meters long, had actually been cleanly severed by the Susanoo Buddha; it was currently lying not far away, twitching crazily because the nerves hadn't died yet!
Although these wounds were healing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, anyone could see that for every bit the wounds healed, Cul's snake body would shrink slightly.
The dark green scales also became noticeably dimmer after being repaired.
Cul was getting weaker!
His power of fear—the fear emotions he had harvested from seven billion people—was draining from his body at an even faster rate!
He struggled to raise his snake head from the trench, his vertical pupils mixed with rage and an emotion he was unwilling to admit, and dared not admit.
"You, you damn..."
Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly stopped. Because he noticed Peter's expression.
At this moment, Peter stood atop the head of the Susanoo Buddha, looking down from above at the battered serpent.
There was no excitement in his eyes, no arrogance, only a faint sense of regret and... pity!
"What a pity."
Cul's snake head turned slightly, those vertical pupils, now a bit cloudy, staring at Peter, and a hoarse voice couldn't help but squeeze out from his snake mouth:
"Regret what?"
"Regret that as an opponent, you are simply too old."
Peter's voice was very calm.
"So old that you have long since lost the will to fight."
These words exploded in Cul's mind. The serpent's body arched violently, its head held high, and the flames of madness reignited in those vertical pupils.
"Bullshit!!!"
Cul's roar shook the entire Buenos Aires.
"I am the God of Fear! Lord of the Nine Realms! My will is more eternal than the stars!"
"How could I have lost the will to fight?!"
The snake body soared into the sky again, its head crashing straight toward the Susanoo Buddha.
But this time, the momentum was clearly much weaker than before.
Peter didn't even use the thousand hands. The Susanoo Buddha simply extended one hand and easily caught Cul's full-force Impact.
And the Susanoo Buddha's palm, having taken this Impact, didn't even have a single crack left on it.
An expression of disbelief appeared in Cul's vertical pupils.
"How is this possible? How could you, a Midgardian, become so much stronger in such a short time..."
Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly stopped.
"Finally realized it?"
Peter's voice came from the top of the Susanoo Buddha, not loud, but as searing as a branding iron:
"It's not that I've become stronger, but that your authority as the God of Fear has already been shaken!"
