Great, we're doomed now!

The remaining black energy spread underground along the ravine, and with a deafening roar, a dark abyss split open on the moon's surface! It was like a giant beast ready to devour its prey!

The man felt a sweet taste in his throat and spat out a mouthful of black blood, but before he could check his condition, he keenly sensed a powerful aura locking onto him. Immediately, he braced himself against the ground, using the momentum to flip his body, his feet shimmering with condensed golden ripples as he launched himself into a flying kick from below, as if upside down—

It hit Boros right where he was following!

However, this blow only caused Boros's head to tilt and his body to sink, shattering the ground with countless cracks. Yet, he managed to withstand the blow without taking a single step back!

"Humph!"

With a sudden burst of strength, Boros grabbed Ye Shou's ankle and used his entire body as a weapon, hurling him violently towards the distant crater!

The moment Ye Shou crashed into the mountain, the hundreds-of-meters-high crater collapsed, burying him like a torrential downpour of debris...

Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, Ye Shou slowly raised his head from the rubble. The simple movement was accompanied by the cracking sound of bones breaking, causing his facial muscles to twitch involuntarily. Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Ye Shou stared intently at Boros not far away, his eyes slightly narrowed—

"Ba-ye-li!"

Bathed in crimson light, the man transforms once again into Ultraman Bayeri!

He didn't want to know how Boros had suddenly become so powerful; there was only one explanation for this situation:

Either kill the opponent, or be killed by the opponent!

"You... I'm stronger than you!"

Boros took a slow step, each time his foot landed on the lunar surface, it caused a slight tremor—which made Ye Shou's eyes flicker.

Is he unable to control his strength?

drop!drop!drop!

"Ok?"

Ye Shou looked down and saw the timer on his chest flashing rapidly, the red light flickering, indicating that the energy was running low.

But he didn't care and focused his attention on the front—Boros's fierce attack was already coming like a storm!

Ye Shou could only temporarily avoid the attack, crossing his arms to block. Golden ripples condensed into a thin shield on his body. In an instant, a dense series of impacts reverberated in the vacuum. The giant was forced to retreat repeatedly, leaving deep trenches beneath his feet.

But after a few rounds, Ye Shou gradually noticed something was amiss:

After turning to the dark side, Boros's power became increasingly violent, and his punches were several times more powerful than before. However, his physical skills lost their previous refinement. While they were still full of wildness, this time he lost that innate insight and had no reaction to counter the moves. All that remained was pure brute force.

"His skills have actually deteriorated..." The thought had barely crossed Ye Shou's mind when he already had a solution.

He abandoned his defensive stance, his waist twisting sharply, his body turning like a folding fan to dodge Boros's straight punch. Simultaneously, his arms outstretched, closing in like a swimming dragon, his fingertips like swords gathering golden ripples, precisely aiming for Boros's chest—

A thousand blows in an instant!

puff!

The overlapping ripples of energy condensed into a single point. Although small in scale, it possessed the power to penetrate everything. It forcefully broke through Boros's enhanced body, piercing through his chest and flying out from his back!

Boros's body froze for a moment, and the black energy became briefly disordered.

Ye Shou's heart pounded violently, and the pulse full of life spread through the giant's body, continuously transforming the deep potential energy of his body into ripples, all of which gathered in his limbs.

With light steps, he instantly circled to Boros's side, his left leg sweeping across with a streak of light, launching a preemptive attack that left Boros no time to catch his breath!

—Breaking through the surface with a single point—this is the effect of Ye Shoujiang's [Atomic Slash] applied to physical techniques.

At the highest level, martial arts are often interconnected. The Atomic Slash is not only possible with swords. Its essence is to unleash countless slashes in an instant. It may seem like a crushing speed of swords, but the essence lies in how to control the force so that each strike leaves room for subsequent movements.

"Oh oh oh oh oh!"

"..."

The two figures clashed, sparks flying everywhere. Ye Shou's attacks, seemingly ordinary, were as precise as a scalpel. The energy was compressed into such a thin thread that, after being superimposed, possessed a sharpness that could pierce through everything. It repeatedly broke through the defenses of the corrupted Boros, leaving indelible golden marks on his flesh.

"Damn it!"

"..."

Ye Shou's eyes were serious: Boros wouldn't shout like that.

What exactly is this...?

Ultraman Bayeri temporarily suppressed the cosmic overlord, but the terrifying thing about the corrupted Boros is that the energy in his body is inexhaustible. After fighting for so long, he recovered from the near death state without any weakening, and the energy fluctuations are even stronger!

Ye Shou's timer on his chest flashed more and more rapidly, the red light almost forming a straight line. His physical strength and energy were being rapidly depleted, and he gradually began to feel strained.

"Roar!"

Boros suddenly roared, his single eye blazing red, and black energy gathered wildly in his chest, forming a thick black light chest cannon with such high energy concentration that it slightly distorted the surrounding space.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the black light chest cannon was fully charged and shot out with a roar. Boros turned his body to track Ye Shou and swept across the land with the power to wipe out everything!

Boom—!

The moon's core was triggered by the black light, and huge cracks spread out from the depths of the crust, crisscrossing each other. The entire celestial body was trembling violently, and large chunks of the surface rock were peeling away, on the verge of completely disintegrating!

Ye Shou steadied himself. The timer on his chest was still flashing, but no matter how much time passed, it never ran out, almost making people think they were hallucinating.

The man took a deep breath, and golden ripples surged wildly, flowing from his limbs and bones to his torso and into his heart. The throbbing sound was like thunder, squeezing out the last bit of potential.

—Now!

Golden ripples converged into a dazzling beam of light, striking the corrupted Boros and forcibly evaporating the viscous energy swirling around him!

Immediately afterwards, Ye Shou transformed into a golden streak of light, his fist bursting into flames—

"Don't think about it!"

Feeling a deadly threat, the corrupted Boros also unleashed his full power, concentrating all his strength into a single point, and leaped fiercely into the sky amidst the golden light.

Golden ripples and pitch-black light collided violently in the sky above the moon!

There was no earth-shattering roar, only an invisible energy storm that spread out, instantly crushing the scattered fragments of moon rock around them!

Light distorts at the center of the energy collision, and time seems to stand still at that moment...

Amidst the fragments of the moon, large and small, two figures remained locked in a stalemate, seemingly destined to perish together.

A closer look reveals that both men, one aiming downwards and the other upwards, were targeting the enemy's head, but neither actually struck. They stopped just ten centimeters away, and the lingering energy from the impact triggered the apocalyptic scene just now…

Ye Shou remained as still as a statue, his eyes fixed intently on Boros, while the fist of the cosmic overlord trembled slightly, the tremor becoming more and more pronounced... A look of struggle appeared in that single eye, and finally, he roared in pain!

"I...I am...I am already dead!"

Boros unleashed wisps of evil energy and shouted hysterically, "Boros, the ruler of the entire universe!"

I have already lost to Ye Shou!

This is a given fact! It will not change no matter what!

Get out of here!

Whoever you are... I don't need your power!

Only pets call for their owners' help after losing—I am no one's pet!

Aaaaaaahhhhhh!

Boros's eyes bulged out, his right hand muscles and bones separated, and his sharp, knife-like finger bones pierced his chest, pulling hard and exposing the pulsating energy core, along with its white veins, to outer space!

"Ye Shou! Kill him!!!"

"Ripple Run—"

Ye Shoushen transformed into a line and instantly arrived behind Boros. A white light bloomed in the "heart" as if it had arrived late.

"Million Lumens Ultra Explosive Fist!"

--boom!!!!

Amidst the violent interplay of energy, spacetime shattered, and a miniature black hole briefly appeared before vanishing...

Chapter 346: You, go line up! (4K)

The last ripple of energy dissipated into the dark universe, leaving only a deathly silence.

Ye Shou returned to human form and floated in the vacuum. The wound on his chest was still throbbing. The fierce battle with the corrupted Boros had almost exhausted his energy.

Just then, the rock fragments scattered from the moon's collapse suddenly moved:

They were drawn together by an invisible force, like iron filings moving under the attraction of a magnet, converging from all directions.

Large chunks of rock interlocked, with fine gravel filling the gaps, gradually outlining the silhouette of an enormous human figure—

It is thousands of meters high, without facial features, hands and feet, only a rough torso and limbs. The texture of the rock strata is like old skin, and the surface is gray and without any luster.

"So it did happen... I knew they wouldn't let me go so easily." Ye Shou's eyes narrowed slightly. "After losing Boros, they've come looking for me again?"

The colossal statue, composed of moon rock, slowly opened its arms, its posture like that of a deity looking down upon all living beings. The sunlight shone down, casting a huge shadow that completely enveloped Ye Shou. The statue seemed to be about to embrace him at any moment, but instead of warmth, it brought a suffocating feeling like Mount Tai was pressing down on him.

A voice without origin resounded in the universe, neither sharp nor deep, indistinguishable by gender or age, echoing directly in Ye Shou's mind. The feeling was vast and cold, devoid of any human emotion.

"I am the [God] who holds the balance of all things." The colossus stopped moving. "Humanity's greed, cowardice, and infighting prove that they have no value. I despise this corrupt race, so I have been searching for individuals with 'potential'—like you."

Oh? You mean... you want to become my "boss"?

Ye Yiwo remained silent, slightly raising his eyes, his gaze as calm as a deep pool, revealing no ripples.

But the voice seemed to see right through him, continuing on its own: "You think you're a hero who protects justice? You're so wrong."

Protecting those weak life forms and saving a civilization that should have perished long ago is just finding a reasonable excuse for your actions. In reality, all you need is powerful strength, isn't that right?

You have witnessed too much of the darkness in humanity, and you know that this is a race that can betray its companions for profit, sacrifice others for survival, and stop at nothing to advance.

Every time you witness these things, you feel a stronger urge to become stronger, because you are unwilling to let your fate be controlled by such a lowly race.

Have you never felt a pang of weariness with this daily, pretentious life? Have you never felt the urge to clean it all up and restore the earth to its pristine state?

"..."

Ye Shouyi was momentarily confused—who was they talking about?

He admitted that his heart was not entirely "light and bright," and that there was some dark side to it, but it was far from what this guy was saying... At most, all he thought about was dumping all the work on others, as the saying goes, "Tiga suffers, Sawai bears the blame."

He would simply travel the world and traverse dimensions with his confidante, living a life of romance, extravagance, and excess—that was all.

Destroy humanity? Cleanse the Earth? He's past that immature, adolescent stage...

What exactly are you talking about?

Ye Shou really couldn't understand this time!

"You don't need to pretend in front of me. I can see everything, including your darkest and deepest secrets and fantasies."
