The creature was called Zerion—the first of Erebus's generals. It spoke in distorted voices: "You are not heroes. You are glitches."
The team fought together. Goku distracted it with teleportation blasts, Naruto targeted its core with Rasengan Barrage, Luffy used Red Hawk Gatling, and Gojo opened his domain: Infinite Azure Void.
Zerion roared and mutated mid-battle, sprouting wings and absorbing jutsu and ki.
Naruto and Goku combined their attacks—Kamehameha and Rasenshuriken, forming the Rasenha-Meha Wave.
The explosion leveled the entire zone. Zerion collapsed.
But before dying, it whispered, "He is awake. Erebus... is coming."
