Chapter 377

I came to Earth precisely to find opponents worthy of a thrilling battle! If you won't even dare to meet such an attack, what kind of fight is this?!

"So this is what a real battle feels like!"

Boruto let out a loud laugh, clenched his fists, crossed his arms over his chest, and drew in swirling energy that converged into his chest—then, as he spread his arms wide, a violet energy column erupted from the eye on his chest, surging skyward to meet the slash.

The two collided, and for an instant, heaven and earth fell silent.

The next instant.

Above A City, a colossal energy sphere appeared, radiating boundless light and heat in all directions; even neighboring districts could see the sky suddenly blaze bright.

"Whoa whoa whoa."

Goku, who had already reached the border of A City, spotted the massive energy sphere.

"Such immense energy—is someone fighting?"

In the ruins of A City.

The S-Class heroes had just defeated the two powerful alien monsters and were about to subdue the lesser ones.

Above them, the sky suddenly blazed bright.

Before they could react, air density surged violently, the ground trembled incessantly, and cracks spread in all directions. A searing heatwave swept down from above, causing the alien mothership's various sections to explode one after another in roaring flames; some of the lesser monsters had no time to react—either falling into the ground fissures or being swept into the scorching vortexes.

Dust and stones flew through the air, heaven shook and earth quaked.

The S-Class heroes retreated in time.

They gazed upward, their expressions filled with shock, suspicion, and deep unease.

"What the hell is happening up there?!"

Atomic Samurai gripped his longsword, his face grim as he stared upward.

What could possibly cause such overwhelming pressure?

Because of the alien mothership's presence, they could not see what was happening above.

"By the way."

Tenshi pinched his chin, his expression grave: "Are those three alien monsters really the leaders of this vessel?"

"Huh?"

The Sexy Prisoner froze.

Metal Bat, holding his baseball bat, turned to Tenshi: "You mean those three aren't the real boss?"

Super Alloy Darklight rubbed his head: "We've shot down the ship and killed most of its minions—if there really was a hidden boss, wouldn't he have intervened by now?"

Genos glanced at him: "Then how do you explain the attack launched earlier at Tornado? That being's power is clearly on a completely different level from those three monsters."

Tornado's eyes flickered slightly in midair.

The other S-Class heroes also grew tense.

Genos looked upward: "If I'm correct, the hidden boss of this ship is currently being held back—those disturbances we've felt from above are the signs of their battle."

Flashy Flash frowned: "Who could it be? Who would do something like this?"

Bang's mind replayed the earlier scene.

"Could it be..."

Tenshi, who had been silently pinching his chin, raised his gaze and spoke: "If I'm right, the one who killed that immortal monster earlier—and is now fighting the hidden boss of this ship—is the same person: that mysterious... Sword Master!"

Hearing this, all the S-Class heroes were stunned.

Tornado, who knew everything, flickered her eyes, then flew upward.

"I'll go take a look too."

Genos pushed off with his foot, leapt upward, and fired his thrusters, shooting like an arrow into the alien mothership.

28, Ultimate Form vs. Final Kill Technique

The colossal energy sphere, blazing like a sun and bathing the sky above A City in red, reached its maximum expansion—then suddenly collapsed inward, condensing into a pitch-black sphere several meters in diameter, with unimaginable mass and density, causing violent distortions in the surrounding space.

Finally, it exploded violently.

Boom!

Tornado had just flown up when she saw the explosive shockwave rushing toward her.

Her eyes widened in horror.

"What—"

Before she could finish, she and her barrier were blasted far away.

Genos, who had just climbed onto the top of the alien mothership, was also hurled a kilometer across its hull by the shockwave, leaving two deep, charred grooves in the shell with his legs.

When he stopped, Genos was utterly damaged, his appearance horrific.

Merely the intense heat of that shockwave had severely injured his body.

Above, Luo En was propelled skyward by the explosion's force, hurtling rapidly upward—just as he neared the edge of Earth, his Transcendent Eyes unleashed their full power, barely halting his flight at the edge of the heavens.

Below, Boruto was driven like a nail deep into the alien mothership beneath him, smashing through countless compartments until he finally punched clean through the entire vessel.

Amid the stunned and astonished gazes of Bang, Atomic Samurai, and the other S-Class heroes, a violet light shot out from beneath the alien mothership and slammed straight into the ground at terrifying speed.

Crash!

The earth was instantly gouged into a bottomless pit.

Immediately after,

the ground shook violently.

Under the watchful eyes of the S-Class heroes,

the violet light that had plunged into the earth erupted again from the surface, shooting skyward.

"Such terrifying presence... Could that thing really be the hidden boss of this ship?"

Child Emperor swallowed hard, his face full of terror.

Bang Gu was also stunned speechless.

Metal Bat, usually unruly and untamed, was now frowning deeply as well.

Atomic Samurai carried his Wu Shidao on his shoulder, his expression grave.

"That guy... is also Dragon-level?"

"No, how could a Dragon-level possibly have such overwhelming pressure? It's as if he's an existence from another dimension entirely..."

A few drops of cold sweat rolled down Flashy Flash's forehead.

The instant that purple light appeared, the entire world seemed to freeze beneath its momentum, the crushing pressure so powerful it was utterly suffocating and despair-inducing.

Flashy Flash had never felt such pressure from any monster before.

Unbelievable!

To think someone was actually fighting such an existence.

Luo En, standing at the apex of the sky, had his injuries healing at a speed visible to the naked eye under the effect of the Immortal Body.

Three seconds later, all his injuries were fully healed.

A flash of divine light glinted in Luo En's eyes, and he vanished in an instant.

Tatsumaki steadied herself in the air; protected by her psychic barrier, she hadn't taken much damage from that shockwave.

Whoosh!

A streak of purple light surged up from below.

Before Tatsumaki could react, that purple light had already crossed several hundred meters, reaching her vicinity as if teleporting, before rocketing skyward once more.

It was like a long, unbroken purple line stretching up from the ground, stabbing toward the heavens.

"That guy... is he the master of this ship?"

Tatsumaki clenched her fists, a flash of fury crossing her eyes: "How dare he ignore me — what nerve!"

She reached her hand toward that purple light streaking toward the horizon, her green curls stirring without any wind, just as she was about to unleash her psychic powers.

A sudden change occurred.

A figure appeared above that purple light in the sky, swinging a sword downward, and the entire firmament was instantly illuminated by a crimson sword gleam.

Under Tatsumaki's stunned gaze and Genos's shocked stare—

That purple light shooting skyward was sent plummeting downward by a massive slash thousands of meters long and several dozen meters wide!

After being forced downward for several hundred meters—

Boros's eyes narrowed, his hands suddenly tore apart, ripping this slash open from the middle, and then he punched out, completely shattering the slash.

"A-amazing..."
