At the same time, Sol's figure flickered across the battlefield like a phantom.
Everywhere he moved, space tore apart behind him, dragging the unavoidable gray-white beams into unstable spatial rifts.
But his real target had always been the sky.
Ignoring the countless annihilation beams crashing toward him, Sol suddenly stomped the ground hard enough to shatter the battlefield beneath his feet.
BOOM!
His body shot upward like a meteor flying in reverse, charging directly toward the massive eye within the vortex.
"What is he doing?!" Sitch shouted inside the command center.
Drive Knight's systems rapidly malfunctioned as data flooded his processors.
"He intends to attack the source itself. Warning, combat calculations impossible."
The moment Sol entered the vortex's range, his expression shifted slightly.
An overwhelming resistance pressed against him from every direction, as though he had entered a world that rejected existence itself.
Everything felt heavy.
His senses became distorted.
Even his perception abilities were barely functioning.
"Hmph."
A dark red aura exploded from Sol's body, forcing the surrounding gray-white energy backward.
The muscles across his body swelled violently as veins surfaced beneath his skin. His grin slowly widened, equal parts excitement and aggression.
His fighting spirit surged to its peak.
"Playing mysterious now?" Sol muttered with amusement.
Then his expression sharpened.
He pulled his right fist back.
Every ability within him synchronized at once.
Hanma bloodline.
Demon Back.
Ultimate Sun Being physique.
His enhanced muscles compressed to extreme density.
Absolute physical strength.
Everything twisted together into a single point.
Dark red energy condensed around his fist so densely that the surrounding space began warping and collapsing under the pressure alone.
"Get out of my sky."
Sol punched forward.
There was no visible flash.
Only a horrifying distortion tearing across the heavens.
The compressed torrent of dark red power ripped into the vortex like a giant blade splitting the world apart.
RRRRRRMMMMM!!!
This time, the entire battlefield heard it.
Space itself screamed.
The giant vortex violently trembled.
The massive eye contracted sharply as if it had actually felt pain.
Cracks spread across the darkness as the vortex destabilized.
Then Sol saw it.
At the center of the collapsing vortex, a blurry humanoid figure made entirely of energy briefly appeared.
His crimson eyes immediately locked onto it.
"There you are."
The instant Sol prepared to chase after it, the figure slowly raised one hand.
Space froze.
Everything around Sol solidified instantly, as though the air itself had transformed into an endless swamp capable of trapping dimensions.
His body became unbearably heavy.
Even moving a finger felt difficult.
Space confinement.
Sol's eyes narrowed.
"So you've got tricks too."
Instead of panicking, he immediately analyzed the structure restraining him while power surged wildly through his body in an attempt to break free.
Below, everyone watched him suspended motionlessly in the sky.
"Sol!" Tatsumaki shouted.
Her psychic power exploded upward desperately, trying to interfere with the energy figure.
But an invisible barrier blocked her attack instantly.
Bang, Genos, Atomic Samurai, and the others could only watch helplessly.
This fight had long surpassed anything they could interfere with.
Then suddenly, a blinding light erupted from within Sol's body.
The core of his Ultimate Sun Being physique ignited like a miniature star.
An overwhelming wave of energy burst outward like a supernova.
CRACK!
The frozen space shattered apart.
At the same time, Sol opened his mouth and unleashed a deafening roar infused with terrifying spiritual force.
"ROOOOAAARRRR!!!"
The sound itself was not destructive.
It was a direct mental shockwave.
A fusion of his countless abilities aimed specifically at spiritual and energy-based beings.
The blurry humanoid figure visibly paused for a split second.
It had not expected that attack.
The confinement around Sol completely collapsed.
The moment he regained freedom, Sol spread his arms and instantly shifted back into an offensive stance.
Countless energy clones burst into existence around him.
Each carried the same overwhelming pressure as his real body.
The clones roared and charged forward alongside him.
At that moment, Sol unleashed every ability in his arsenal without restraint.
The energy figure finally seemed angered.
Space around the battlefield folded repeatedly, creating layers of deadly distortions and invisible traps.
At the same time, countless annihilation beams formed a gigantic net around Sol and his clones.
The sky transformed into a battlefield beyond human understanding.
Explosions of energy erupted nonstop.
Violent aftershocks rained downward, and even the smallest fragments of leaked power easily erased hills and shattered entire sections of land.
Far below, Heroes and Monsters alike had completely stopped fighting.
Everyone stared upward in horror.
Just witnessing the battle made them feel insignificant.
Bang slowly lowered the hand that had been stroking his beard.
Shock filled his aged eyes.
"So this was the child's true target all along..."
Tatsumaki clenched her fists tightly, green eyes fixed on Sol's figure as he continuously tore through destructive energy without hesitation.
Her emotions became increasingly complicated.
Saitama rubbed his bald head while staring at the battle above.
"Huh... that thing's actually pretty strong."
Meanwhile, Genos recorded everything desperately as warnings flooded his systems.
"So this is the level Sol-senpai has reached..."
Inside the Hero Association command center, silence dominated the room.
Every screen displaying energy readings had already exceeded measurable limits.
No machine there could properly calculate what they were witnessing anymore.
One executive swallowed hard.
"What exactly are we fighting?"
Standing silently in the corner, Muzan watched the battle with fanatic admiration burning in his crimson eyes.
"Lord Sol... is killing a god."
The battle above reached an even more violent stage.
Sol continuously pushed his abilities to their absolute limit, but the god-like entity responded with equally incomprehensible attacks.
Many of its abilities directly affected reality itself, making them almost impossible to defend against.
Cracks spread repeatedly across Sol's black and crimson armor before rapidly repairing themselves moments later.
After another devastating collision, Sol finally used the recoil to pull back slightly.
His breathing had become heavier.
But the grin on his face only widened.
His crimson eyes burned brighter than ever.
He could feel it now.
The entity's projection was becoming unstable.
Its power was not infinite.
And clearly, the being itself had realized the same thing.
Its attacks became increasingly violent, trying to erase Sol before its form collapsed completely.
Above the battlefield, an enormous amount of energy began gathering together.
A final killing strike.
Sol inhaled slowly.
His combat instincts screamed warnings through every nerve in his body.
Now.
This was the opening he needed.
One decisive hit.
Below him, the Monsters watching the battle suddenly erupted with emotion.
Black Sperm's countless heads merged together as he shrieked toward the sky.
"Lord Sol! Kill that thing!"
Gouketsu slammed his fists against his chest with a thunderous roar.
"LORD SOL!"
Elder Centipede raised its shattered body and screeched in support.
Rover barked violently.
Ugly President roared.
Hellfire Flame and Gale Wind stared upward with burning eyes.
Even the surviving low-level Monsters began shouting toward the sky.
At that moment, every Monster present directed their faith toward Sol.
Not power.
Belief.
Absolute trust in the one they acknowledged as their king.
