On the moon, the withered figure stood motionless, as if it had existed on that desolate satellite since ancient times.
Its very existence was like a silent declaration, crushing the will of every living being on the battlefield.
Tatsumaki's full-power attack was easily neutralized, and she herself was severely wounded, collapsing weakly to the ground, her emerald eyes having lost their former brilliance, leaving only bewilderment and profound powerlessness.
Genos's Incineration Cannon couldn't even approach the moon's orbit, and despair, like a cold tide, swiftly engulfed the battlefield, which had just fallen into chaos due to Allen's "demise."
"Even Tatsumaki's full power isn't enough?" Child Emperor's voice was tearful. He slumped to the ground, his computer screen completely black.
Drive Knight's mecha emitted a dull hum: "Target energy level immeasurable. Physical laws are distorted around it. Recommend evacuation."
"Evacuate? Where can we evacuate to?" Sitch roared in the command center, sweat soaking his shirt. He looked at the indifferent figure on the main screen, feeling his heart tightly clutched by an invisible hand.
Just as this suffocating atmosphere of despair permeated the air, a space at the edge of the battlefield suddenly rippled like water.
A highly complex portal, composed of multiple geometric light rings, quietly opened, and intense energy fluctuations instantly drew everyone's attention.
First to step out was a boot covered in blue-gold, technologically advanced armor, followed immediately by a tall and robust figure fully emerging.
He was completely covered in streamlined blue-gold armor, with heavy shoulder pads and sharp lines. His helmet obscured most of his face, revealing only a chiseled jawline and a pair of sharp, eagle-like, weather-beaten eyes. Faint energy flow patterns were visible on the armor, emanating an aura of technology far beyond the mundane.
His appearance brought with it a powerful aura, as steady as a mountain, instantly diluting some of the despairing pressure brought by Gods Avatar.
"That's..." Bang's aged eyes suddenly gleamed, as if he had seen long-lost hope.
"Blast!" Child Emperor exclaimed in disbelief, almost unable to trust his eyes. The legendary S-Class Rank 1 hero, who had been missing for countless years, had actually appeared at this moment!
Blast's gaze quickly swept across the ravaged battlefield, past the severely injured Tatsumaki and the bewildered crowd, finally settling gravely on the withered figure on the moon. There was no surprise in his eyes, only deep solemnity and a sigh of "it finally came."
"Mr. Blast!" Genos immediately stepped forward, his mechanical eyes scanning rapidly. "Do you know what that is?"
He spoke in a deep voice, his words carrying the vicissitudes of time through his faceplate: "That is 'Gods Avatar.' I have pursued, hindered, and fought against it for countless years, trying to delay its complete interference with this world. Unfortunately, it has finally come to this point."
His words struck everyone's hearts like a heavy hammer.
"Gods Avatar?" Atomic Samurai tightened his grip on his sword hilt. "Allen was dealing with something similar before..."
"That was a weaker projection of Gods Avatar, its gaze cast upon this world," Blast interrupted him, his tone urgent. "But this one now, it has invested more power, very likely an avatar almost identical to its true form. The reason it has appeared now is because Allen..." He paused, seemingly choosing his words carefully.
"It's because Allen's actions tore open a large enough rift, allowing Gods Avatar to more directly manifest its power. And Allen seems to have touched upon some taboo, resulting in the most fundamental erasure."
"Erasure." The word sent shivers down everyone's spines.
"Then what should we do?" Flash asked calmly, his body still maintaining an optimal offensive stance.
Blast's gaze swept over all the heroes present, as well as the Monster executives in the distance who had temporarily ceased their commotion and were looking on with suspicion due to his appearance.
"There's no choice," Blast's voice was decisive, and the energy beneath his armor began to surge, the blue-gold radiance growing brighter. "Only battle! While I can still restrain it! This isn't about defeating it, because that's almost impossible, but about survival, about buying this world a glimmer of hope!"
He suddenly clenched his fists, the armor joints clanging, and the space around him began to subtly distort: "I will hold it off directly! All of you, S-Class, and those Monster over there, if you don't want to be wiped out together, then unleash all your power and attack! Hold nothing back! This is a battle for survival, regardless of allegiance!"
Before his words finished, Blast's figure suddenly blurred, and the next moment he appeared thousands of meters in the sky, moving at extreme speed!
He crossed his arms over his chest, the energy patterns on his armor glowing to their maximum, and then thrust them forward!
"Hyperspace Crush!"
A distorted, spiraling torrent of energy, seemingly composed of countless spatial fragments, slammed towards the moon. The power of this attack far surpassed all previous attacks; wherever it passed, space seemed to shatter and reassemble like glass!
On the moon, Gods Avatar, its withered finger finally moved again.
It gently pointed forward.
Blast's terrifying attack, capable of pulverizing asteroids, stopped abruptly at a certain distance from the moon's surface, as if hitting an insurmountable barrier. Then, it silently disintegrated and dissipated, without even producing a flash of explosion.
But this time, the invisible barrier seemed to ripple slightly, causing a barely perceptible tremor.
"Did you see that?!" Blast roared from high in the sky, his voice transmitted through energy. "It's not completely unshakeable! Concentrate your attacks! Attack the same point!"
The heroes on the ground awoke as if from a dream!
"Did you hear that?! Everyone, attack!" Bang was the first to shout, the Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist's aura soaring into the sky. Although it couldn't reach the moon, that extremely condensed will seemed to transform into an invisible sharp blade.
"Atomic Concentration Slash - Secret Art!" Atomic Samurai's renowned blade was drawn, concentrating all his power into a single point. The tip of his sword gleamed with a dazzling cold light, and an extremely refined sword qi tore through the sky!
Flash's figure vanished, appearing an instant later behind Atomic Samurai's sword qi, pushing his speed to the limit, his kunai piercing out like drills, attempting to propel Atomic Samurai's slash even further!
Genos's rear thrusters were fully engaged, hovering in mid-air, his arms combining: "Maximum output! Incineration Cannon!!!" A golden-white torrent of energy erupted once more!
Superalloy Darkshine roared, pouring all his strength into his fists, slamming them into the ground. The terrifying shockwave transformed into a tangible fist-pressure that shot into the sky!
Tanktop Master flexed all his muscles, throwing a massive concrete block like a cannonball!
Metal Bat picked up a broken bat, recklessly infusing his spirit and rage into it, an invisible shockwave following close behind!
Child Emperor manipulated his giant robot backpack, all weapon ports open, missiles, lasers, and energy cannons raining down into the sky!
Even the severely injured Tatsumaki struggled to raise her head, squeezing out the last shred of Telekinesis, condensing it into a slender yet incredibly tough green beam of light, precisely firing it at the point Blast had indicated for attack!
