Allen's pupils suddenly contracted, and his muscles tensed instantly. The withered figure made no movement, yet it felt as if the entire mass of the Moon was pressing down on his perception.
The pressure, several times more terrifying than the previous projection, froze everyone on the battlefield, making even breathing difficult.
"What is that?" Child Emperor's voice trembled in the dead silence, his instrument screen completely black.
Drive Knight's body let out an overloaded wail: "Warning! Unidentifiable energy body! Exceeds all known data parameters!"
Bang's aged face showed a look of horror for the first time: "This feeling is at least ten times stronger than before!"
Tatsumaki's green Telekinesis instinctively protected her body, yet it flickered unsteadily like a candle in a strong wind. She stared intently at the figure on the Moon, then suddenly looked at Allen, screaming: "Idiot! Come back!"
Saitama stopped scratching his head, his bald head reflecting slightly in the moonlight. He rarely frowned: "This seems a bit different now."
At that very instant—
The withered, twisted finger of the figure on the Moon seemed to move ever so slightly.
There was no light, no sound, no energy fluctuation.
Yet Allen felt an absolute, irresistible force of erasure instantly act upon the very essence of his existence, as if all his information, matter, and energy were directly marked as null, to be completely wiped away from the very foundation of this universe!
"Roar—!"
Allen let out an unprecedented roar, all his abilities pushed to their limit at this moment.
Dark red aura exploded like a supernova, scorching and distorting the surrounding space!
However, that erasing force ignored everything.
It seemed to transcend all rules of time, space, energy, and matter, calmly and inevitably executing the absolute command that Allen should not exist.
The dark red aura vanished silently, like a drawing erased by a rubber.
Allen's ferocious roaring expression froze on his face. The power he unleashed, enough to destroy stars, along with his incredibly powerful body itself, began to disintegrate and dissipate from the most basic particle level.
There was no explosion, no flash, no ashes.
It was like a reflection on the water being gently wiped away.
Within one hundredth of a second, the figure that had just slain a God's projection, stood in the center of the battlefield, and captivated all eyes, completely disappeared.
Only a void remained, and the lingering aftertaste of that soul-shaking absolute power in the air.
The battlefield fell into a deathly silence.
The wind stopped flowing, and sound seemed to be completely drained away.
Everyone froze in place, their brains unable to process the sight that was beyond comprehension.
Gouketsu's four eyes were wide open to their limit, filled with unbelievable bewilderment.
Black Sperm's countless small heads simultaneously froze, losing all expression.
Centipede Elder's massive body solidified, as if turning into stone.
Tatsumaki floated in the air, her emerald eyes staring blankly at the place where Allen disappeared, the color draining from her face instantly. Her lips parted slightly, but no sound came out.
The Telekinesis glow around her body suddenly extinguished as if power had been cut off, and her petite body swayed, falling straight down from the sky.
"Tatsumaki!" Bang was the first to react, his aged figure instantly darting out, barely catching her falling body. Her touch was icy cold, and Tatsumaki's eyes stared blankly at the sky, as if her soul had been extracted.
"Allen-senpai?!" Genos's mechanical eyes flickered wildly, his processor emitting tiny electric sparks because it couldn't compute or understand what had just happened. "Energy signal, life signs, completely gone, undetectable, error, error..."
Saitama stood rooted to the spot, staring blankly at the empty space where Allen had vanished, the confusion on his face gradually replaced by an unprecedented seriousness and anger.
He slowly clenched his fist, his brows deeply furrowed under his bald head: "Give him back."
Atomic Samurai's toothpick dropped to the ground. His hand unconsciously pressed on the hilt of his sword, but he felt none of his usual confidence.
Flash's body leaned slightly forward, entering a state of extreme alert.
Cold sweat seeped from Superalloy Darkshine's bronze skin. He subconsciously touched his chest, as if confirming his own existence.
Child Emperor plopped down onto the ground, his young face filled with terror and bewilderment.
Muzan stood in the corner, his crimson eyes showing an emotion close to fear for the first time. He frantically called through their psychic link: "Lord Progenitor! Lord Progenitor!"
There was no response.
The bond that connected him to the absolute power seemed to have completely severed, as if it had never existed.
Above the Moon, the withered figure still stood silently, as if it had only done a trivial thing.
Its faceless "face" seemed to glance down at the silent Earth, its indifferent gaze, like looking at dust, sweeping across the entire field.
The entire battlefield fell into a deathly silence, which was then replaced by immense uproar and chaos.
The heroes were stunned, unable to comprehend this sudden drastic change. Allen, who had just repelled an unknown powerful enemy like a god-slayer, was instantly killed so easily?
The Monster, moreover, fell into immense panic and were on the verge of collapse. Their invincible king, their faith, was wiped out before their eyes by an unknown entity, like crushing an insect!
"Lord Allen!!!" Gouketsu let out a pained roar, frantically pounding the ground.
Centipede Elder let out a mournful hiss, its massive body writhing in agony.
Black Sperm's countless clones frantically surged towards where Allen had fallen, yet dared not approach, only emitting chaotic, unintelligible screeches.
Hellfire Flame's flames completely extinguished, Gale Wind stood frozen in place, and all the other executives were also plunged into immense shock and bewilderment.
Muzan's crimson eyes showed an unbelievably horrified expression for the first time. He suddenly looked at Kokushibou and Akaza, whose faces were also filled with shock and wavering.
Inside the command center, Sitch and a group of high-ranking officials witnessed this horrifying scene through the screens, all frozen in place. The command room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop, with only the faint hum of instruments and the crisp sound of a staff member's tablet sliding to the floor.
"What was that just now?" Sitch's voice was dry and filled with fear.
Drive Knight's electronic eyes flickered frantically: "Unable to analyze! Attack source unknown! Energy form unknown! Threat level unquantifiable! Allen confirmed life signal disappeared!"
On the entire battlefield, the opposition between heroes and Monster seemed to lose its meaning at this moment.
Both sides were immersed in the shock and fear brought by the same huge mystery and terror.
