Chapter 374

Accompanied by the crimson sword light, which continued unimpeded through the entire alien mothership, leaving behind a circular clearing the size of a house, the entire defense shield shattered like glass with a roar.

"How is this possible!"

Meruzagarudo could not believe it.

The defense shield was broken?!

Impossible!

How could such power still exist on this planet?!

Countless S-class heroes and members of the Hero Association stared at this scene, utterly stunned.

Who exactly… is that?!

The tornado in the sky of the floating island snapped back to awareness, sensed a presence, and sharply turned to look at a spot on the ground.

A tall, black-haired young man wearing a baseball cap stood there.

A trace of crimson sword light still lingered in his right hand.

The tornado fixed her gaze tightly on that person, slowly uttering two words.

"Sword Master…"

25, What Is Strength?

Aside from the mysterious Sword Master who briefly appeared in J City, cleaving wind and rain with a single slash to slay the Deep Sea King, no one else could have delivered such a strike.

The tornado confirmed it the instant she saw that figure.

That guy is the Sword Master!

Meruzagarudo instantly sensed the intense danger emanating from that person; fulfilling its duty to protect the mothership, it immediately judged the situation, abandoning Bongo and others who posed little threat, and launched all five of its clones toward the figure at once.

Watching the five clones of the monster charge toward the man like a whirlwind, Metal Bat roared: "Don't even think of escaping!"

But even at his speed, he could not catch up.

Of the four S-class heroes, only Bongo and Atomic Samurai could match its speed.

The two chased two of the clones, racing swiftly toward Luo En.

Just as Meruzagarudo's five clones and Bongo and Atomic Samurai entered within a hundred meters of Luo En.

Luo En, wearing the baseball cap, lifted his head; beneath the brim, his calm, sea-blue eyes flashed a glimmer of Jin Guang.

An overwhelmingly powerful, supreme Conqueror's Haki erupted from him.

Heaven and earth changed color.

!!

Meruzagarudo turned pale with horror.

Bongo, Atomic Samurai, Metal Bat, and countless other S-class heroes all changed color the instant they felt that suffocatingly powerful Haki.

"What an terrifying presence!"

The tornado's face also turned pale.

"No, this is bad."

Heroes with weaker willpower, like Tongdi, were rendered unconscious by the shock of the Conqueror's Haki.

The overwhelming pressure of the Conqueror's Haki compressed the air into a dense state, making some heroes unable to stand—A-class heroes like Jiehe'an had already collapsed onto all fours, unable to rise.

"Impossible!"

The five clones, bent and immobilized by the Haki, Meruzagarudo roared:

"Even that one doesn't possess such power—how could you…"

Luo En glanced at him.

"Die."

The Spell of Words combined with the Conqueror's Haki activated simultaneously.

Words become law.

The five orbs inside Meruzagarudo were crushed by the invisible force laden with Conqueror's Haki; before the stunned gaze of Bongo and others, Meruzagarudo's immortal body vanished into ash.

Simply because that person said, "Die."

To kill a monster with an immortal body using only words—what level of power is this?

A god?

Jeno was also deeply shocked.

He knew Luo En was strong, but he never imagined he could be this powerful.

It exceeded imagination.

Luo En gazed up at the alien mothership, as if seeing Boros seated upon the throne at its deepest core.

It was watching him too.

A Star-Burst level power…

Between him and me now, who is stronger?

Luo En was curious about this.

He raised his right hand, still clutching a streak of crimson sword light, and slashed downward toward the sky again.

【One-Sword Style, Ascend the Tower.】

He slashed toward the place where Boros was.

This sword strike was a challenge.

Boros's eyes flickered with interest; it rose from the Wang Zuo and punched forward.

The immense force of the punch shattered the air ahead, transforming into an air cannon as thick as a house, hurtling toward the colossal slash.

The instant the punch met the slash.

Two immensely powerful energies collided, releasing even greater energy.

The ground within a kilometer radius suddenly sank.

The two concentrated, terrifying wind pressures exploded outward, shockwaves spreading like tidal waves, leveling the land and blowing both Bangou and Atom Knight away.

Immediately after, hundreds of thick energy lightning bolts rained down, tearing massive cracks across the ruined ground.

The S-class heroes only then reacted.

"Watch out, protect the headquarters!"

Genos fired a Burn Cannon, blasting away the giant debris hurled by the shockwave.

Super Alloy Black Light leapt into the air, blocking one of the falling energy lightning bolts with his body—but was slammed into the ground.

Metal Knight, Drive Knight, Pig God, and other S-class heroes also moved to protect the Hero Association.

As for King, he had already been frozen in terror, cowering off to the side.

The alien mothership also shuddered violently under their attacks, then various sections glowed with ominous light.

Tornado, whose body was shielded by a green energy barrier, narrowed her eyes, sensing danger, and turned toward the alien mothership.

The next instant.

Countless massive projectiles fired down from the alien mothership.

It was this very strike that destroyed the entire A City.

Tornado spread her arms, her entire body flickering with green light, her eyes glowing brightly.

Psychic ability activated.

Thousands of descending projectiles froze instantly in midair.

Inside the alien mothership.

GoryuKanShuPu, one of the three main forces of the Cosmic Dark Matter Pirates and a telekinetic user, showed a look of shock.

"It stopped?"

Tornado pointed upward with one hand, and the projectiles instantly shot back toward the alien mothership.

"You can have these things back."

The projectiles exploded against the alien mothership; the massive vessel could no longer hold together and began to plummet downward.

Standing at the edge of a crater, looking down, Boros raised his hand, energy gathering in his palm.

Whoosh!

A beam of energy pierced the air, striking Tornado from behind.

Tornado's hair stood on end; before she could react, the energy beam was already behind her.

No escape possible.
