Chapter 4441

"Interesting."

Riku's voice was low and hoarse; he suddenly materialized before that resplendent beam of light, facing head-on the terrifying energy capable of annihilating an entire solar system.

The essence of the strongest and of war activated in that instant, and the aura around Riku surged explosively.

He abruptly threw a punch, colliding with the terrifying beam.

The beam did not break through Riku's defense, but the collision of two different energies caused the void itself to twist, and the ground beneath their feet trembled.

"This is—!"

Cold sweat broke out on Sakurajima Mai's forehead; her Observation Haki sensed something very ominous.

"First the surface collapses, then bit by bit it digs deep into the heart of the earth.

In the end, the entire planet will fall apart, the world destroyed... what you sensed, is... this kind of thing, isn't it?"

Su Han's voice was calm.

After a brief silence, Sakurajima Mai nodded seriously.

She recalled that with Su Han beside her, she immediately calmed down.

Even if the world were destroyed, if Su Han wished it, he could reverse time—this was not Sakurajima Mai's fantasy, but something that had truly happened before.

Su Han smiled noncommittally, but did not dwell on the topic; instead, he glanced toward the sky. "This attack, even Riku won't be able to deal with it so easily."

"At the very least, he has no way to handle it with ease and protect the Earth at the same time."

"Damn it!"

After reacting, Madoka Dagu's face turned ugly.

Without hesitation, he suddenly produced the Light Stick, and a streak of resplendent light wrapped around his body.

In an instant, a towering Giant of Light appeared out of thin air.

He abruptly soared into the sky.

"He became... light."

"That guy... so he was an alien too? So this is what aliens look like—although they have a human form, fundamentally they're completely different from humans."

"Still... much better-looking than the aliens I imagined!

I thought aliens would be the kind... with small bodies, huge heads, all green..."

"That's just stuff from the movies! Don't bring movie stuff into reality!"

The Nakano sisters' voices came out stammering.

They forced themselves to speak now, using conversation to dispel the fear in their hearts.

"That guy Dagu."

Su Han paid no attention to the girls beside him; looking toward the heavens, he was rather caught between laughter and tears.

You transform into Ultraman and join the battlefield—doesn't that just expand the scale of the fighting even further? Where exactly does that protect the Earth beneath your feet?

After sighing, Su Han lightly stamped his foot; immediately the earth stopped trembling, and at the same time the void kept twisting as a mirror world spread out of thin air.

The world before them was too magnificent, plunging the Nakano sisters—who had barely managed to calm down—back into a daze.

"Wh-what on earth... is this?"

Nakano Ichika's Yaguan chattered as she scanned her surroundings; apart from Su Han and Sakurajima Mai, only the Nakano sisters had been drawn into this mirror world.

None of the other students were in this world.

Nakano Nino said nothing, her body trembling.

She no longer fixed her gaze on Su Han—even though Su Han possessed a charm beyond imagination, that meant nothing in the face of life and death.

Nakano Mikoto, however, was... quite calm; she was watching Tiga Ultraman, who had now joined the battlefield.

Tiga Ultraman fired a laser, and the terrifying energy raining down from the heavens was torn apart in an instant.

Then Tiga slammed heavily into the ground.

Accompanied by a crisp hum, the sky suddenly began to twist.

Stars materialized one after another in the heavens above; these stars were so immense that even beyond the atmosphere... they could still be seen clearly with the naked eye.

Moreover, as far as the eye could see in outer space, everything was covered in these bizarre stars, their surfaces gleaming with a metallic light.

"... Mechanical Death Stars!"

Sakurajima Mai suddenly realized, her expression changed drastically, and she spoke almost out of control.

This was clearly a spaceship remodeled into the shape of a planet.

As for what kind of destructive power these... Death Stars possessed... just by looking at their planet-sized bodies, one could guess a thing or two..."... Interesting... truly too interesting."

A cold mechanical voice suddenly rang out.

The foremost Death Star began to transform, slowly becoming a towering mechanical giant with a human form.

This mechanical giant's size was unimaginably massive, even surpassing the moon.

He stood in outer space, looking down upon the Earth, his cold sensors locking onto the many members of the guild.

"Tiga Ultraman... and! No Game No Life's Ku—though it seems something is a bit off! Ku's power... shouldn't be this great, right?"

The mechanical giant spoke in a low voice; he wasn't asking so much as muttering to himself.

Although he also saw Sakurajima Mai and the Nakano sisters, he simply ignored them—after all, the ones most worth paying attention to now were still the enemies with great power.

"Hah!"

Letting out a long breath, Riku landed on Tiga Ultraman's shoulder.

He exchanged a glance with Tiga, his words laden with meaning. "Then next, the second round begins."

"Alright!"

As his words fell, Tiga's body indeed radiated endless light.

He charged toward the sky, his body growing larger as well; soon his size rivaled even the mechanical giant's, and he grappled with it... up into the starry heavens.

As for Rick, he charged toward those dead stars, laughing loudly, "Come on, let me see your power... and my limits!"

The battle began in an instant.

Terrifying beams of energy plummeted from the heavens, the earth shattered, magma erupted, and the clouds and atmosphere above were utterly torn apart.

The Earth replica crafted by Su Han, in terms of sheer strength alone, surpassed the real-world Earth.

Yet in this battle, the Earth proved as fragile as cheese, shattered effortlessly.

The school where Su Han and the others stood retained its general shape... due to Su Han's protective power.

Nakano Satsuki slumped in her chair, fear and disbelief etched on her face, her words barely a groan.

"These aliens... they actually possess power at this level..."

"It's over. Everything's over."

"This world will surely be destroyed... we have no chance of victory. Everyone will die in the end."

"Stupid sister!"

Nakano Yotsuba glared fiercely at Satsuki, then turned her gaze back to the heavens. Though fear lingered on her face, excitement dominated it. "That... being with the light wings—who is he? A god? Does this form mean he's the Christian God?"

"So strong! So the world isn't just home to aliens—does that mean myths are real too?"

"But that giant—aside from being an alien—could there be another possibility? His entire body radiates light... could he be wielding light-based power, akin to an angel from Christianity?"

Nakano Yotsuba's imagination ran wild.

Hearing this, Nakano Miku's lips twitched several times as she stared at her two sisters in utter disbelief.

"Satsuki, what's wrong with you? Even though the enemies are countless, even just by sight, you can't tell we're at a disadvantage—on the contrary, we might even have the upper hand. Do you really need to act like the world is ending? And Yotsuba... you're clearly stirring up chaos. Of course, Miku internally added: but En Daigu was one of the guild's earliest members."

Even with Nakano Miku's sharp eyes, she couldn't determine whether En Daigu or Rick was stronger... but in most myths, God would almost certainly not be a match for the current hyper-enhanced version of Ultraman Tiga...
