Chapter 1985

Then he fell silent.

On the surface Darius was calm, but inwardly his spirit was shaken.

He almost suspected he had been struck by some kind of magical illusion.

The appearance of Heracles, the young Wei Bo, and the King of Conquerors, though very much beyond his expectations—

But considering that even he himself had crossed over from a parallel world… then even if those two Heroic Spirits appeared, along with a young version of Wei Bo, it wasn't something absolutely impossible… However, what was the meaning behind the appearance of Bai Hu Zi and Lei Muleimu? He extended a single finger and gently pressed it against his forehead; a crimson glow lit up from his fingertip.

Darius quickly used an appraisal method and confirmed that everything before him was entirely real.

0 "Interesting!"

After a brief silence, Darius let out a cold laugh. "So what if it really is Bai Hu Zi?"

So what if the one before him was a suspected younger version of Bai Hu Zi! He carried the power of an entire parallel world with him; even the so-called man capable of destroying the world from the Pirate King world would be just as brittle before him.

Darius stepped forward and raised his hand, striking out toward Bai Hu Zi's direction.

What looked like a casual punch actually erupted with terrifying force, and the void shattered outright.

This punch seemed to come crashing down with the weight of half a world.

"…You underestimate this old man?"

Bai Hu Zi narrowed his eyes slightly and laughed "Gurara-ra-ra," his golden hair hanging loosely behind him.

…He clenched his fist; a layer of blazing white light enveloped it, and finally he hurled the punch with a thunderous roar.

Watching all of this unfold before him, Su Han sighed softly. "…So in the end, the cleanup after a high-end battle is the most headache-inducing!"

As his words fell, Su Han's pupils transformed into a Rinne Sharingan with nine tomoe, and he snapped his fingers.

The power of the Space Stone was activated.

It reinforced and expanded the space on all sides.

So that the clash between the two would not affect the planet beneath their feet.

The void shattered into fragments.

Darius's fist force simply could not withstand the white light; the instant they made contact it was torn apart, and the terrifying shockwave hurtled toward Darius.

"What!"

Darius's pupils contracted sharply.

Without the slightest hesitation, he pushed both palms forward; a faint sheen enveloped his body, and the sheen layered itself ceaselessly before him, transforming inch by inch into shields.

These… half-virtual, half-solid shields, upon contact with the shockwave, cracked and crumbled inch by inch, yet kept on diminishing the shockwave; by the time the shockwave reached Darius's front, it had already completely dissipated.

"…That was close!"

Cold sweat seeped from Darius's forehead.

But before Darius could even heave a sigh of relief, Bai Hu Zi instantly appeared right before him.

His muscles bulged inch by inch, and his fist was coated in Armament Haki.

Then, with a boom, he threw a punch, and the last layer of shield was torn apart.

Hot fresh blood splattered down; Darius's body erupted with a sonic boom as he was sent hurtling into the distance.
