One Piece: Kaido's adopted son, starts with the Eight Gates Formation.

The towering, dark gold giant did not adopt any defensive stance.

It did not raise its shield, nor did it cross its arms.

It simply... slowly opened its enormous hand, large enough to blot out the sun.

Five dark gold fingers spread out, palms facing upwards, brazenly facing the boundless lightning punishment that was enough to shatter the earth and its core!

crazy?

This was the first thought that flashed through the minds of everyone present, including Zamaz.

To catch it with your hands?

Isn't that just asking for death?!

boom!!!

Finally, the first bolt of purple lightning, as thick as a bucket, struck the dark golden giant hand hard!

There was no earth-shattering explosion as expected.

There was no expected energy clash.

It didn't even make the slightest sound.

The terrifying lightning strike, powerful enough to easily shatter a small planet, vanished the moment it touched the golden giant hand, like a mud ox sinking into the sea or a stream flowing into the ocean.

Silently and imperceptibly, it was absorbed by that palm?

Followed by.

The second one!

The third one!

Hundreds and thousands! Tens of thousands!

The entire purple sea of ​​lightning, as if finding an outlet, surged into the seemingly ordinary dark golden palm one after another!

Surprising.

It's incredibly bizarre!

The terrifying scene of world destruction now presents an absurd sense of harmony.

The purple lightning that filled the sky was no longer a symbol of destruction, but rather resembled docile electric snakes, vying to enter the giant palm and disappear.

The entire process was eerily quiet.

It didn't cause the slightest ripple.

Lingita stood quietly within the crystal between Susanoo's eyebrows, hands in his pockets, watching everything with an expressionless face.

He could clearly feel that Susanoo's energy was being replenished at an extremely exaggerated speed, and even rising steadily!

Soon, fine and violent purple arcs of electricity began to flicker on the surface of the dark golden palm that had absorbed all the lightning.

That was the destructive power of Zamasu's "Absolute Lightning".

But at this moment, they were as docile as pets, wrapping around Susanoo's fingertips and becoming a part of it.

Looking at his energy creation, Lingita's eyes, which were a fusion of Lynn and Vegeta's wills, finally revealed a hint of humanity.

It was an expression... similar to "I'm fairly satisfied".

He nodded and muttered to himself in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft.

"Um."

"The battery has been replenished well."

puff.

Trunks, who was some distance away, suddenly collapsed to the ground with a thud, his face showing an expression of utter disbelief.

"Electricity...electricity?"

Sun Wukong's mouth was agape, and he couldn't close it for a long time, his mind completely blank.

What did he just say?

Recharge?

What did he take Zamasu's devastating divine punishment for?

A power bank?!

The moment this idea popped into his head, even Sun Wukong himself thought it was utterly absurd.

And above the sky.

That arrogant, self-proclaimed supreme god, combined Zamasu.

The expression on his face was absolutely priceless.

That manic, twisted smile was frozen on his face.

His pupils, starting as small as pinheads, gradually dilated, and then dilated even further.

In the end, all that remained in his eyes was endless, pure, incomprehensible horror and emptiness.

power bank?

I……

My strongest area-of-effect divine skill...

I stake my divine dignity on this final punishment...

I became their... power bank?!

This……

This is impossible!

That's absolutely impossible!

This was ten thousand times harder for him to accept than the incurable scars left on his face by Amaterasu!

That was the most thorough and fundamental denial and trampling of his status as a god!

Just as Zamas's brain completely shut down due to the excessive information overload.

Below, the figure he hated to the core, yet feared to the point of trembling in his soul, spoke again.

Lingita stretched her neck, making a series of crackling sounds.

He raised his eyes, his gaze piercing through the energy barrier of Susanoo, and calmly landed on the completely petrified figure in the sky.

The look in his eyes was as if he were looking at a shared power bank that had just fully charged his phone.

"Since your energy attacks are ineffective against me,"

Lingita's calm voice rang out, penetrating the energy barrier of Susanoo and echoing clearly across the deathly silent battlefield.

There was no joy of victory, no passion for battle in that voice, only a kind of... indifference in dealing with a boring, trivial matter.

"Then let's try the most primitive method."

The words fell.

That towering, perfectly formed, dark golden Susanoo, which had just absorbed the immense power of divine lightning, stunning the entire audience and leaving even the gods speechless.

It began... and then dissipated.

It didn't shatter with a crash, but rather, like a sand painting scattered by the wind, it began to dissipate from the outer armor, transforming into billions of golden light particles that slowly drifted away and returned to nothingness.

That colossal body that blotted out the sky, that majestic and indifferent holy face, that giant hand that once absorbed the "Absolute Lightning" with a single strike...

Everything vanished completely in just a few breaths.

It was as if it had never existed.

Lingita's figure was once again exposed to the air.

He hovered quietly in mid-air, his black hair swaying slightly, and the combat suit he wore, which combined two styles, fluttering in the wind.

He slowly closed his eyes.

Then, I took a breath.

This breath was very light and slow.

It seemed as if all the air within a hundred miles had been sucked out.

Sun Wukong and Trunks, standing in the distance, even felt a sense of suffocation.

next second.

Lingita suddenly opened her eyes!

"Eight Gates Formation, Eighth Gate, Gate of Death—Open!"

There was no earth-shattering roar.

It was just a calm announcement.

But just as this declaration was uttered...

boom--!!!

An indescribable, pure, and destructive energy exploded from Lingita's body!

It is not spreading outwards.

Instead, it burns inward!

scarlet.

Extreme crimson.

Like boiling magma, or like burning blood.

A layer of scarlet blood-red steam erupted wildly from every pore of his body!

This destructive power, representing the ultimate burning of life, collided and merged violently with the restrained and sacred red divine aura of the Super Saiyan God on his body the moment it appeared!

*Sizzle sizzle sizzle sizzle—!*

Two completely different energies, yet both standing at the pinnacle of power, did not repel each other. Instead, they intertwined and merged in a near-perfect manner, ultimately becoming one!

A brand new, unprecedented, red-golden, and gold-red destructive storm completely enveloped Lingita's entire body!

Under the influence of this power, his physique did not undergo any significant changes, but every muscle line became more defined, exuding an explosive sense of power.

A terrifying aura, pure to the extreme, seemingly born for destruction and annihilation, swept across the entire area!

The ground beneath their feet silently collapsed and cracked under the pressure of this aura!

Zamasu, high in the sky, had barely regained a sliver of divine rationality from the immense impact of the "power bank."

He saw Lingita disarm the golden giant.

He even had a fleeting illusion that "mortals have finally run out of ideas."

But the moment that destructive storm of red and gold appeared...

His last shred of rationality was once again replaced by a more primal, more pure fear!

Danger!

Extremely dangerous!

His divine instincts, belonging to the Supreme Kai, were frantically sounding an alarm deep within his soul!

The aura emanating from this mortal before us is ten thousand times more dangerous than that of the golden giant before us!

That was an absolute power that could truly threaten his "immortality" from the root!

"No...it's impossible..."

Zamasu's face was distorted beyond recognition by extreme anger and fear.

"A mortal's body... the power gained by mortals burning their lives... how could... how could it possibly contend with gods?!"

He couldn't accept it!

I absolutely do not believe it!

God is supreme!

God's body is the most perfect creation in the universe!

Even if a mere mortal's flesh and blood body is burned to the extreme, it should still be as fragile as an ant in the face of a divine body!

"I want to...tear you to pieces!!!"

The humiliation of having one's dignity repeatedly trampled overwhelmed the fear.

Zamasu let out a hysterical roar, and the purple divine power around him erupted once more, transforming into a streak of light that charged recklessly toward Lingita below!

He doesn't believe it!

He didn't believe that this mortal body could be stronger than his divine body!

He would use his own hands to crush this mortal who constantly humiliated him, along with his ridiculous strength, into dust!

however.

Faced with his reckless, all-or-nothing charge.

The figure of Ling Jita.

Disappeared.

Just like that, he vanished from Zamas's crazed gaze.

It's not a ghost image caused by high-speed movement.

Rather, it is a true, instantaneous, complete disappearance.

Zamasu's fist, powerful enough to pierce a planet, unsurprisingly struck empty air.

His purple pupils widened instantly in surprise.

What about people?

The thought had just flashed through his mind.

An indescribable, terrifying power that froze his soul had silently appeared in his abdomen.

He didn't even have time to lower his head.

A powerful punch, enveloped in a red-gold storm of destruction, landed squarely on his prized divine body without any fancy moves.

Boom! ! !

A deafening roar, so deep it seemed to shatter even the space itself, suddenly exploded!

Followed by.

Snap! Snap!

A crisp, chilling cracking sound rang out clearly!

Zamas's contorted face suddenly froze.

He stiffly and slowly lowered his head.

He saw it.

His sacred abdomen was so perfect that even "absolute lightning" could not harm it in the slightest.

At this moment, a deep fist-shaped indentation has appeared.

Centered on that fist imprint, terrifying, spiderweb-like cracks, deep enough to see bone, were rapidly spreading across his entire body!

His divine body, which he was so proud of...

For the first time, it made a sound like bones shattering!

"Ugh..."

A belated, excruciating pain, as if it were tearing his entire body in two, suddenly erupted!

He was as if he had been hit head-on by an invisible star, turning into a purple cannonball and flying backward uncontrollably!

blood.

For the first time, the purple blood belonging to the gods gushed out of his mouth like a fountain!

however.

This is just the beginning.

Just as Zamasu's body was flying backward and had not yet regained its footing...

The figure enveloped in the red-gold storm was like a leech, clinging to him like a shadow, getting closer once more!

"Too slow."

Lingita's calm announcement, like the whisper of death, rang in his ears.

Followed by.

It was a violent storm!

It is a pure feast of physical skills, without any external energy release, and only pursuing the ultimate destructive efficiency!

boom!

An elbow strike imbued with the absolute destructive power of the Eight Gates Formation slammed into Zamasu's back!

Click!

The sound of a spine breaking was clearly audible!

Zamasu's body, which had just been launched into the air, was abruptly stopped by this brute force, causing him to arch forward uncontrollably.

Before he could react.

Lingita's figure had already spun in front of him, and a knee strike burning with red and gold flames landed precisely on his jaw from below!

boom! ! !

Zamasu's head was jerked back by the force, and his neck bones let out a mournful cry of unbearable strain!

fist!

elbow!

knee!

leg!

Every strike was simple and direct to the extreme!

Each strike contains an unparalleled, absolute destructive power, earned through burning one's life force!

Zamasu's body, suspended in mid-air, became a punching bag, completely passively taking hits!

His so-called immortality became the most tragic curse at this moment.

The sacred Supreme Kai's attire was completely torn to shreds with the first blow.

Below, the flesh and blood, constantly regenerating, yet in the instant of regeneration, being mercilessly shattered once more by an even more violent force, are exposed to the air!

Purple blood and shattered internal organs flew everywhere as if they were free!

"Aaaaaaahh ...

Zamas let out a muffled, agonizing scream filled with pain and humiliation.

He wanted to rebel.

He wanted to invoke divine power.

However, the opponent's attacks were simply too fast! Too dense!

The relentless attacks, like an endless downpour, completely shattered his consciousness, his divine power, and everything about him, making it impossible for them to coalesce!

He could only passively endure this endless torture that gradually and thoroughly crushed his dignity and his body!

On the ruins in the distance.

Goku and Future Trunks were completely stunned.

Their mouths were agape, big enough to fit a fist, their minds completely blank.

"Th...what was that..." Trunks' hand gripping the sword hilt trembled violently. "No energy waves...no ki blasts...it was all...fists and feet..."

"It's pure physical skill..." Sun Wukong's Adam's apple bobbed with difficulty, his eyes filled with unprecedented shock.
