Simultaneous traversal: All Abyss difficulty.

Chapter 437 Let's Assemble the Strongest Monster!
On a rainy night in Gotham, the Bat-shaped lights pierce through the dark clouds.

Bruce Willis, who stole the Batmobile, was crouching next to the Bat-Signal, tapping his fingers on the holographic screen inside his arm armor, browsing the Gotham Police Department's encrypted files.

Suddenly, he felt a strange burning sensation in his chest!
"Well?!"

He looked down sharply and discovered that black tentacles were writhing wildly beneath the bat suit on his chest!

A hideous Fire Release: Earth Grudge Mask slowly emerged, with dark red chakra ripples flowing beneath the skin!
"Is it complete?"

Bruce quickly pulled open the collar of his suit to confirm that this was not a hallucination caused by inhaling too much toxic gas during an experiment.

The tentacles of Fire Release: Earth Grudge Fear were perfectly integrated with his nervous system, and he could even feel the chakra surging in his blood vessels!

"Synced and completed."

He immediately tried to activate Fire Release, and flames burst forth from his palms, "Fire Release: Head Hardening!"

The rain evaporated into white mist!
"Although such high-temperature flames are not as intense as Lei Ying's, they are enough to burn through most supervillains and superheroes."

"What's even more fortunate is that with the addition of a heart, there's a greater chance of survival."

Darkseid, you're a little late.

In the New York Sanctuary, an old chandelier swayed gently in the breeze. Stephen Fang was sitting cross-legged, suspended on a meditation mat, his hands gesturing as if in a dance, surrounded by golden magical runes.

Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through his chest!
He ripped open his robe and stared in shock at the writhing black tentacles.

"Good! Very good, excellent!"

On the high seas, cannons roared!

Outside the Calm Belt, pirate Fang Yu was exchanging blows with Kizaru, who was moving at full speed, while on the other side, Aokiji was also desperately supporting Kizaru.

Fang Yu, a pirate who possesses the Flying Thunder God Technique, is extremely difficult for Aokiji to defeat.

That means we can only leave it to Kizaru to try his luck.

But if Aokiji knew that Fang Yu would die five times before truly dying, he probably wouldn't want to move now.
The battle between the generals has been going on for a long time without a clear winner, but the battle between the Ghost Carrot and the other ship is almost over!
Impel Down is not far from Marineford's naval headquarters. After all, the Navy is the organization that dominates the seas, and a steady stream of naval forces came to support them. A dozen or so vice admirals launched an attack on the crew of the Ghost Carrot.

Even with a powerful figure like the Red Earl from the previous generation, there was no time to attend to the rest of the crew amidst the barrage of gunfire.

By accident, a shell landed on the Ghost Carrot, and Vivi was nearly blown away! Luckily, the Wind Release: Earth Grudge Fear, who had eaten the Sand-Sand Fruit, caught Vivi; otherwise, they might have faced casualties.
"Charge! Capture the Fifth Emperor's crew alive!" A vice admiral roared, brandishing his saber, as hundreds of elite soldiers charged across the ice behind him.

The dull thud of their steel boots hitting the ice sounded like war drums. The musketeers had completed their encirclement, and the clicking of lead bullets being chambered filled the air.

The Red Earl's Autumn Water Blade unleashed a crescent-shaped slash, sending the leading navy soldiers flying, but more soldiers flanked from the side.

He glimpsed the bloody marks on Carrot's rabbit ears from a stray bullet, and Brook's skeleton was entangled in a seastone net. Cold sweat beaded on his forehead: "These scum... there are too many of them!"

"Surrender!" Vice Admiral Momonga pressed his sword against Perona's temple. "Your captain has been captured by three admirals."

His words suddenly caught in his throat.

The sea began to boil without warning!
"Gululu——"

Countless bubbles surged from beneath the ice, and the entire sea began to tremble violently.

The charging sailors staggered to a halt, looking down in horror at the ice beneath their feet—it was turning black at a visible speed!

"What is that thing?!" a soldier screamed, pointing around the Ghost Carrot.

Suddenly, four huge black whirlpools rose up in the seawater around the ship, and some enormous creature was rising from the abyss!

"Boom!!!" Four jet-black tentacles, each over ten meters in diameter, burst forth from the ice!

When the colossal shadow, accompanied by a stench of blood, was fully unfurled, even the Red Earl was astonished!
Those are four monsters!

The navy's charging formation collapsed instantly.

Lieutenant General Momonga watched helplessly as the torrent of flames unleashed by the Fire Release: Earth Grudge engulfed the entire musket squad.

As the giant claws of the sandstorm slammed down, a warship was pressed into the seabed like a toy.

The most terrifying one is the Thunder Escape Earth Grudge Fear! The lightning wrapped around its body transforms into countless thunderbirds, biting and electrifying, instantly killing hundreds of naval soldiers!
"Monster! Monster!" The once-aggressive navy soldiers tumbled and crawled backward.

Behind them, the Earth Escape Earth Grudge suddenly opened its abyss-like maw, and the Earth Escape Earth Flow Wall was cast into a hundred-meter-high earthen wall!

Red Earl's sword froze in mid-air. He saw Wind Release: Earth Grudge Fear take the opportunity to use Sandstorm to rescue Brook. Carrot stepped on the tentacles of Lightning Release: Earth Grudge Fear and leaped into the sky. The electrified rabbit claws exploded into a series of lightning storms in the enemy ranks.

"Impossible!" Satan Saint's telescope slipped from his fingers. "A biological weapon of this level..."

------------

The neon lights on the other side.

In the cramped rented room, Ao Te Fang Yu was sprawled on the sofa, staring at the monster news on TV.

The moment their abilities synchronized, Ao Te Fang Yu immediately turned off the TV.

"Has Fire Release been buffed? Most monsters are afraid of fire, so while it's not an epic buff, it's still considered a good quality blue-tier buff."

"Okay, we can start planning now."

The morning mist enveloped the abandoned mine in the mountains. Aote Fangyu walked on the damp soil toward the rusty iron fence.

"Is this the place..." He kicked aside the waist-high weeds, revealing the blurry words "No Entry" on the warning sign.

The ground was covered with gullies, as if it had been rubbed by some giant reptile.

The mine entrance resembled a gaping maw, with shimmering reflections in the darkness.

Fang Yu had just activated his Observation Haki when he suddenly heard the sound of tires crushing gravel behind him.

"Yu-san! Please wait a moment!"

Nanase Rena, wearing a beige trench coat over her GUTS uniform jacket, jumped out of the jeep, clearly having chased after him all the way here.

She was also holding up an instrument that resembled a Geiger counter, the dial's hands swinging wildly.

"Radiation levels are seventeen times higher than the standard!" She frowned, staring at the instrument. "This place is classified as a level two contaminated area by TPC. How did you get here?"

"I'm investigating the monster."

"A monster!? There's a monster here? Where?"

"Since you insist on knowing, let's go together."

The two entered the abandoned mine one after the other.

The mine looks like it was shut down abruptly, with traces of previous mining activity visible around it, and many of the tools that were difficult to move still standing.

"As far as I know, this mine has been abandoned for seven years."

He knew so much about it because his aunt had been sick for seven years.

"This place, this place seems a bit strange." Before Lina could finish speaking, Fang Yu pulled her behind him!
Something's coming!
