Chapter 4695: The Invincible Highwen Stands Upon the Earth! Longmen

"Has it begun?"

Edward took a deep breath, his eyes filled with excitement and restraint.

Above the heavens, the first wave of thunderstorm crashed down.

Sakuragi Hanamichi stepped forward and shattered the window outright; his voice brimmed with excitement, "Let me go first."

As soon as he spoke, Sakuragi Hanamichi suddenly threw the basketball in his hand toward the heavens.

The moment the basketball left his hand, it gained unparalleled destructive power, tearing apart the endless thunderstorm as it soared into the sky, piercing through the calamity's dark clouds and restoring clarity to a hundred li of sky.

"...... This power..."

Xingxiong stared blankly at this scene, even questioning whether her eyes had failed her.

It was well known that Raw Stone Calamity was unstoppable...... On the Terra continent, ancestors had spent countless sacrifices to create the special construct known as the Mobile City...... But now, right before her eyes, someone had destroyed the Raw Stone Calamity entirely with a ball the size of a human head...... This shattered Xingxiong's worldview.

"...... Is it over?"

"What...... on earth just happened!"

"I thought I saw a basketball... no, it must have been a beam of light! Shooting into the sky—could that be Longmen's ultimate weapon?"

The former despairing residents of Longmen stood frozen in place, stiffly tilting their heads upward to gaze at the sky, their expressions a tangled mix of emotions.

The next breath, the dark clouds above the heavens began to gather once more; the Raw Stone storm started to coalesce again.

"I knew it wouldn't be that simple to resolve."

Sakuragi Hanamichi stretched his body, his expression serious as he clenched his fist, black Armament Haki covering it.

Then, he took out several basketballs from the Conggong Society warehouse.

"...... I know it's fine, but watching you throw basketballs at the calamity..."

"It just feels weird somehow!"

Gudako's exasperated voice suddenly rang out; she appeared beside Sakuragi Hanamichi in an instant, gazing upward at the heavens.

"Hmm, I can't let you have all the glory..."

Gudako's lips curled into a smile, her eyes sparkling with excitement, "Highwen! Noble King! Skadi... please."

"As the Master commands."

Highwen spoke gently, gripping his longsword.

Skadi remained expressionless, clutching her red spear; as for Noble King Flash, he began gathering the King's Cannon, aiming it toward the heavens.

In the next instant, countless attacks surged toward the heavens, shredding everything in their path.

Chen lifted her head to watch this scene, calm as ever.

After all, she had once witnessed Uchida Mikoto display the terrifying ability to toy with entire planets and star systems as if they were playthings... Compared to Uchida Mikoto at that time, Gudako's and Sakuragi Hanamichi's power, though formidable, was merely that—nothing more.
