The anomaly in the sky plunged the entire battlefield into a deathly silence.
At the center of the vortex, that profound darkness seemed to writhe with life, and starlike flashes gradually condensed into the outline of a giant, indifferent eye, silently looking down.
An indescribable pressure, like a tangible tsunami, washed over every living being, whether Heroes or Monster, who felt a tremor and a sense of insignificance from the depths of their souls.
"What… what exactly is that?" Child Emperor's voice trembled with disbelief, the screen of the instrument on his wrist scrolling wildly with garbled text and error messages.
Drive Knight's body hummed as if overloaded: "Warning! Unable to analyze energy composition! Unable to determine threat level! Immediate evacuation recommended!"
Inside the command center, Sitch's face was pale, and he barely stood steady by leaning on the control panel: "All units, maximum alert! Is this… is this summoned by Allen?!"
Bang's aged face was more solemn than ever; he assumed the Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist stance, but his gaze was fixed on the solitary figure in the center of the field: "No… this feeling is completely different. Allen, that child, seems to be wary of it as well."
Tatsumaki's green curly hair swayed slightly; she floated in mid-air, her Telekinesis instinctively forming a barrier around her, her emerald eyes looking at Allen with a complex expression, then warily scanning the unsettling presence in the sky.
Gouketsu, Centipede Elder, and other Monster executives also ceased their attacks, instinctively feeling fear, slowly retreating backward, yielding the center of the battlefield.
Numerous small heads of Black Sperm emerged from various corners, whispering as they gathered into several larger individuals, revealing a rare look of surprise and uncertainty.
In this eerie silence, Allen slowly raised his head, his crimson eyes locked onto the giant phantom eye in the sky.
His body was slightly crouched, every muscle fiber in optimal readiness, and Demon Brain was operating at full speed, analyzing the incomprehensible entity.
His scouting eye silently released imperceptible energy fluctuations, attempting to probe the darkness, but the feedback was a void and strong interference.
"As expected, conventional methods are ineffective," Allen muttered to himself, and the Transparent World opened. However, looking at the sky vortex, it was still a blurry chaos, only barely able to perceive a vast, ancient, and indifferent will.
Just then, the giant eye seemed to blink.
There was no sound, no light explosion, but everyone on the battlefield below, including S-Class Heroes and Dragon-Level Monster, felt their hearts clench suddenly, as if gripped by an invisible giant hand. Several slightly weaker A-Class Hero even rolled their eyes back and fainted directly.
"Ugh!" Tatsumaki grunted, her Telekinesis barrier fluctuating violently.
The ground beneath Bang's feet cracked, and he lowered his stance, stabilizing himself to neutralize the invisible impact.
Saitama scratched his head, looking around in confusion: "Did something just press down?"
Genos's mechanical body sparked with tiny electrical discharges: "Teacher, an incomprehensible psychic shockwave has been detected!"
Allen bore the brunt of it, but his body only trembled slightly, and he instantly nullified this pressure directly targeting the essence of life.
He instantly judged that this was not a physical attack, but a higher-level deterrence at the mental and rule level.
"Just one gaze has such power…" Allen's lips curved into a hint of excitement, "It seems I've found the right one."
He seemed to abandon his defense, slowly straightened his body, and even beckoned with his finger towards the giant eye in the sky.
Provocation!
The silent provocation, however, seemed to light a fuse.
The dark vortex in the sky surged violently, the outline of the giant eye became clearer, and from within it, a grayish-white beam, seemingly composed of countless tiny dust particles, silently shot towards Allen!
Wherever it passed, space seemed to be stripped of its color, falling into a deathly gray-white.
"Careful!" Tatsumaki instinctively cried out, green Telekinesis surging forth, but she didn't know how to intercept such an attack.
Bang, Atomic Samurai, and others also changed their expressions drastically; from that grayish-white beam, they felt an extreme aura of annihilation.
Allen, however, did not dodge; a sharp glint flashed in his eyes, and he held his right hand with fingers together like a blade, terrifying explosive power condensed at his fingertips, dark red energy swirling around it like a tangible entity, and he slashed forward fiercely!
Screech—!
A sharp sound, like fabric being torn, echoed across the battlefield!
The space in front of the grayish-white beam was forcefully torn open with a huge, distorted crack! The beam crashed into the crack and disappeared. The next second, the top of a barren mountain several kilometers away turned silently into dust, scattering with the wind.
The entire place was silent.
Tearing space with bare hands and deflecting that kind of attack?
Both Heroes and Monster were utterly stunned by this scene that transcended their comprehension.
"A monster… a monster…" a certain A-Class Hero murmured in a daze, unsure if he was referring to the eye in the sky or Allen.
"How many more tricks does this guy have hidden?" Atomic Samurai's toothpick fell to the ground, and he didn't even notice.
Gouketsu and other Monster executives bowed their heads in awe; the power of Lord Allen once again exceeded their imagination.
The giant eye in the sky seemed to pause for a moment, as if also slightly surprised by this ant's defiance.
Immediately after, more grayish-white beams poured down like a torrential rain!
No longer confined to Allen, but covering the entire battlefield! It seemed to want to erase all life on this land that dared to peek at it!
"Not good!" Bang shouted, "Everyone, defend!"
Tatsumaki let out a sharp cry, her green Telekinesis fully erupting, forming a huge barrier to try and block, but when the grayish-white beams hit the barrier, the Telekinesis was visibly eroded and annihilated at a speed visible to the naked eye!
"What?!" Tatsumaki's face turned pale; these beams could actually directly eliminate her energy?
Metal Bat roared, slamming his bat at a beam. The part of the bat that touched the beam instantly turned to dust, and he retreated in horror.
Genos's Incineration Cannon fired at the beam, but it was like a mud ox entering the sea, directly swallowed.
Chaos erupted! This indiscriminate attack instantly plunged both Heroes and Monster into crisis!
Allen's eyes turned cold.
He waved his hands repeatedly, and countless rubble and metal fragments infused with dark red energy shot out like precise missiles, each strike accurately hitting the side of a grayish-white beam, cleverly deflecting its trajectory slightly.
