BOOM!!
Taking the Ghost King's ultimate move head-on, Ren was blasted backward, instantly forced out of his Super Ultra form. He slumped to the ground, groaning in agony.
"Holy crap... I almost died!"
Coughing up several mouthfuls of blood, Ren felt as though his body might fall apart at any moment. Finally, he couldn't hold on any longer; his vision went black, and he fell unconscious.
Seeing Ren's tragic state, Hu Linfei and the others were consumed by rage. With the assistance of Ming Wang and the Snow Queen, the Super Ultra Warriors' Energy began to skyrocket, breaking past their limits in an instant! Once restored, they stepped forward to shield Ren and the others.
"Ghost King! You ignited the war of the Seven Parallel Universes. We, the Super Ultra Warriors, will never let you rule!" Hu Linfei declared.
"Don't waste words on him. There is only battle!"
"Super Ultra! ARMOR!"
As the seven erupted with Energy, the Seven-Way Super Ultra God manifested once more.
"CALAMITY OF EVIL!"
"CLOUD BAT SHIELD!"
Though their Energy had grown significantly, they were still struggling against the Ghost King. They used every ounce of their strength just to parry his blows, taking internal damage in the process.
"Hahaha! Even if you combine, what can you do? You're still destined to fall! Calamity of Evil!" The Ghost King laughed triumphantly, launching another ultimate attack while they were weakened.
Facing the onslaught, Hu Linfei and the others felt true despair. "Dammit! Why is he so strong!"
Holding the Cloud Bat Shield high, Hu Linfei barely held the line. At that moment, the Snow Queen, her power nearly spent, spoke up: "Super Ultra Warriors, if the convictions of the seven of you are as one, you can erupt with an energy ten billion times brighter than the sun! Enough to destroy all darkness and ugliness!"
Following her, Ming Wang added: "Super Ultra Warriors, concentrate your will. Merge all your ultimate moves into a final strike!"
Fueled by the "chicken soup" from the two titans, the warriors' conviction solidified. One by one, they unleashed their ultimate techniques!
"Fire Cloud Strike!"
"..."
As their moves merged, the Super Ultra God unlocked a new form. The Tiger Roar God and Crazy Leopard God, previously acting as the feet, flew out and combined into a hilt held by the Super Ultra God. As the mecha's palm brushed the hilt, a blade manifested!
"HEAVENLY ELEMENT SWORD!"
Raising the sword above its head, the Energy of the seven fused into the blade! Sensing the threat, the Ghost King unleashed his full power into a final Calamity of Evil.
"AAAAAAH!!"
"DIE! I AM THE RULER OF THIS WORLD!"
KABOOM!
The two absolute strikes collided. The world lost all color, leaving only an infinite white radiance filling their vision.
"Hiss! What happened?"
On the front lines of the war between the Wolf and White Tiger Tribes, a black-haired child opened his eyes. Rubbing his aching head, he tried to recall his experiences.
"I remember... I was on the toilet, and then everything went black?"
"KILL THEM!"
"Die, you Wolf Tribe bastards!"
"Exterminate the White Tigers!"
As he sorted through the information in his head, the sounds of slaughter reached his ears. A figure was sent flying, landing right in front of him.
"Holy crap! What's going on?!" Ren was terrified, frozen in place by the sudden chaos.
After a few seconds, looking at the familiar uniforms and hearing the clash of metal, a bold thought rose in his heart. Did I travel to the world of Super Ultra Force?!
He peeked out, seeing men in black armor fighting those on golden mechanical tigers. It looked familiar, but he had no time for nostalgia; he wanted to live.
"Transmigrated to the Super Ultra world and the spawn point is a battlefield? How unlucky can I be!" Ren felt like crying. He looked at the wrist of the fallen White Tiger soldier, but his heart went cold. "Not there? How is it not there? No way, bro! You can summon a mecha without an Energy Lock?!"
Just as despair set in, his vision went black, and his consciousness entered a familiar space.
Ninja Ren and Hollow Ren looked at the newcomer. Ninja Ren asked, "Easy, brother. We're all 'you.' Which world did you land in?"
Super Ultra Ren remained cautious. "Who are you? What is this place?"
The others shared a look. Ninja Ren extended his fist. "Bump fists and you'll know everything."
Super Ultra Ren hesitated, fearing a trick. Ninja Ren didn't wait; he stepped forward and grabbed the newcomer's hand before he could react. A moment later, Ninja Ren's face filled with understanding.
"What a magical world."
The others followed suit, bumping fists to share the memories. Everyone was amazed.
"It actually restarted? And he went back to the exact moment he first arrived, with all his memories intact?"
"Does this mean our transmigration exists outside the cycle of reincarnation?"
Super Ultra Ren laughed. "Doesn't matter! I just want to go out there and start a massacre! Peace out, brothers!"
Ren opened his eyes, the confusion gone. Furthermore, after the "restart," he found his Energy had strengthened, reaching 4.5 Black Holes.
He stepped out from behind the rock, his figure blurring like a ghost as he vanished from the battlefield. Neither side noticed him. This time, he didn't go looking for Ming Wang, nor did he join the Snow Queen. He was going to play his own game.
He used his Energy to shift into his adult form. Just as he was about to pack a bag and travel the world, a woman appeared before him.
"Snow Queen?"
His gaze instinctively drifted down to those impossibly long, straight legs. He couldn't look away. The Snow Queen frowned and gave a light cough. "Ren, do you remember the events of the previous cycle?"
Ren snapped his head up, looking at her in disbelief. "You remember it too?!"
The Snow Queen looked surprised by his reaction. "Strong individuals retain their memories for the next cycle. You retained yours, didn't you?"
Ren narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing her. If she truly remembered everything, she wouldn't be standing here talking to him; she'd be using her Sacred Radiance to vaporize Gui Gu. The fact that she was here instead gave Ren a very bold idea.
One relevant follow-up question: Should Ren test the Snow Queen to see exactly how much of her memory is intact, or should he attempt to recruit her for his "Carefree King" plan before the Ghost King makes his move?
