At this moment…
Across the countless anime dimensions, all the viewers were still grumbling and cursing.
Even though three hours had already passed, the frustration in their hearts had yet to fade.
Whenever they thought about that abrupt cutoff at the end of the video, everyone couldn't help but curse that damned author.
Jokes aside—complaints were complaints.
[Special Episode Part 2: War of the Gods — Hoopa VS Hoopa Unbound]
The quality of the entire video was beyond reproach.
It was so shocking it nearly made people lose control, and the number of Legendary Pokémon involved made one's scalp tingle.
In terms of sheer quality, it was the best of all the videos so far. The appearances of one Legendary Pokémon after another, along with the clashes of their various moves, created an overwhelming visual spectacle.
Especially those exclusive moves.
And beyond just visual satisfaction—
what truly set the countless anime dimensions ablaze was what they gained from watching!
After becoming members of the dimensional platform, not only could they experience the scenes firsthand—appearing within them as invisible observers—
they could also gain insights from watching the battles of the divine beasts, improving themselves.
Especially when watching battles involving divine beasts aligned with their own abilities—the benefits were even greater.
[Special Episode Part 2: War of the Gods — Hoopa VS Hoopa Unbound]
There were simply too many divine beasts involved—over a dozen in total.
Each divine beast wielded a form of law-based power, and especially the first-tier divine beasts—they were embodiments of supreme laws themselves.
Across the anime dimensions…
many people found themselves aligned with certain divine beasts.
Every world had its own top-tier figures—beings who stood at the pinnacle of their respective worlds.
By watching the video, they gained different insights, broke through their bottlenecks, and experienced massive increases in combat strength.
In the One Piece world, within the seas ruled by Whitebeard—
Aboard the Moby Dick.
Whitebeard sat on the deck, his eyes closed, immersed in a state of deep meditation. His brows would occasionally furrow, then relax.
The members of the Whitebeard Pirates didn't dare make a sound, remaining cautious and silent.
Ever since their captain finished watching the video—
he had remained in this state.
They knew that he was likely gaining some kind of insight from it.
"I'm so jealous of Pops. Why did we only improve a tiny bit?" Portgas D. Ace muttered from the side.
Their gains from watching the video were minimal.
The main reason was simple—their strength was too low, while the divine beasts were far too powerful.
It was like an elementary school student who had just learned addition and subtraction trying to study advanced mathematics.
Getting even a tiny bit out of it was already fortunate.
Suddenly—
Whitebeard, who had been sitting like a meditating monk, seemed to lighten slightly.
Marco sensed something and his expression changed.
"Everyone, fall back!" he shouted.
Those aboard the Moby Dick were all division commanders or elite members—none of them weak.
Even without Marco's warning, they had already begun retreating rapidly.
BOOM—!!
A terrifying aura shot into the sky.
The clouds above were blasted open, forming a massive hole before violently dispersing.
The expanding clouds—
and the overwhelming pressure—
spread across most of the sea.
This was Haoshoku Haki.
Around the Moby Dick, massive Sea Kings surfaced one after another, their eyes rolled back as they lost consciousness.
Even the crew felt as if their minds had been struck, leaving them dizzy.
"Pops' Haoshoku Haki… has gotten even stronger," Marco said, staring at the deck.
Even the reinforced steel-covered deck was cracking and deforming under the pressure.
This level of Haoshoku Haki was unheard of.
After all—
it was a power that directly targeted the mind.
Whitebeard's mind was filled with the scenes of those terrifying divine beasts—
images of space shattering at will.
Especially Palkia, the ruler of space.
That figure repeatedly appeared in his mind.
With a mere gesture, it could control space—
shattering it with a thought, restoring it with another.
Only now did he realize—
his pride and joy—
his Gura Gura no Mi…
his so-called move—
Air Quake—
was nothing more than a joke.
He had believed that by using the power of his Devil Fruit to shatter space, he could truly break it.
But after witnessing the battles of the divine beasts—
seeing space truly collapse, revealing the void beyond—
pulling entire regions into that absolute nothingness—
he realized the truth.
He had been nothing more than a frog at the bottom of a well.
"Shattering space?"
"Don't flatter yourself…"
If space were like a ship—
then he had only managed to crack the outer coating.
Nothing more.
"Space… what exactly is space? How do you truly shatter it…?"
Whitebeard frowned.
Again and again—
he replayed those scenes in his mind.
As his comprehension deepened—
Crack… crack… crack…!
The air around him began to fracture like a mirror.
Fine cracks spread outward.
This was the power of the Gura Gura no Mi—
the strongest offensive ability on the seas.
The cracks grew denser.
And then—
they vanished.
Whitebeard opened his eyes and stood up.
"Pop—"
Ace was about to speak, but Marco covered his mouth.
"Don't make a sound. It's not over yet—Pops is still in his enlightenment state."
Time passed.
Two minutes… ten minutes… an hour…
Whitebeard remained motionless.
Finally—
"I think… I understand something."
His previously unfocused gaze slowly sharpened.
BOOM!!
He threw a punch.
The air before him shattered into pieces.
Then—
his arm trembled violently.
The power of the Gura Gura no Mi was concentrated entirely into his arm.
In an instant—
before the previous force had faded—
a new force was born.
The two forces stacked.
Crack—!!
Something unbelievable appeared—
space.
The sea before him—
was completely split apart.
The ocean looked like solid jelly, cut into countless pieces.
These fragments did not reconnect.
They had been separated—
at the level of space itself.
From the surface—
all the way down to the depths of the seabed.
Some unfortunate Sea Kings were split cleanly in half, their blood spreading through the water.
Marco and the others were stunned.
This…
was still the power of the Gura Gura no Mi?!
"Although I still can't truly break space… I can now reach the thin layer covering it."
Whitebeard's face was filled with excitement.
"Hahahaha! I won't hold that cliffhanger against you anymore, author!"
He laughed loudly and left a comment on the message board of the creator—Rin Aokawa.
But suddenly—
his eyes widened.
"Boys! It's updated! The ranking video has updated!"
Marco and the others snapped back to their senses and immediately opened the dimensional platform.
Sure enough—
it had updated.
[Ranking the Top Ten Strongest Divine Beasts — TOP 3: World-Destroying Red Light, Ultimate Power]
"Hiss—!"
Seeing the update, they were even more excited than witnessing Whitebeard's breakthrough.
As powerful as that punch was—
compared to the ranking videos—
it was nothing more than cannon fodder.
And they wanted to grow stronger too.
Maybe this new video would give them another boost.
It wasn't just Whitebeard.
Across all dimensions, top-tier fighters had also improved.
In the Bleach world—
Hueco Mundo, within Sosuke Aizen's palace.
Aizen slowly opened his eyes, a faint smile forming at his lips.
A powerful aura swept across Hueco Mundo.
Wherever it passed—
all Hollows and Menos bowed to the ground.
Inside Las Noches—
the Espada felt it immediately.
"Aizen-sama… has grown stronger," one of them muttered.
"Too bad we only increased our Reiatsu by about thirty percent," another said.
"Mine only went up by around twenty-five percent," Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez added.
All the Espada had only gained around twenty to thirty percent.
Standing apart from the rest—
with pale skin and tear-like markings beneath his eyes—
was Ulquiorra Cifer, the Fourth Espada.
He tilted his head slightly, clenching his fist.
They only gained thirty percent?
Why had he gained fifty?
And in his Resurrección: Segunda Etapa—
his Reiatsu had doubled.
"Aizen-sama! It's updated—the video has been updated!" Grimmjow shouted excitedly.
Aizen's eyes flickered.
That author who had shaken him…
had finally updated again?
With a thought, he opened the dimensional platform.
[Ranking the Top Ten Strongest Divine Beasts — TOP 3: World-Destroying Red Light, Ultimate Power]
It was indeed updated.
He only wondered—
would that figure from the end of the special episode appear this time?
Aizen and the Espada immediately clicked into the video.
In the One Punch Man world—
Saitama clenched his fist, looking troubled.
He felt like he was getting stronger again.
"Damn it… my scalp is already completely smooth… even my pores are gone… stop getting stronger already…"
He had even gone to a hospital for hair transplants—
and broke ten machines.
Nothing worked.
Now—
even without training—
just watching videos made him stronger.
He was probably the only person across all dimensions who was troubled by becoming stronger.
Being too strong was lonely.
He had no opponents.
He actually wanted to fight those divine beasts—
but wasn't even sure he could win.
He only had overwhelming destructive power—
while those divine beasts controlled laws.
Lately, life had been boring.
Ever since the ranking videos appeared—
monsters had stopped causing trouble.
"I wonder… if I keep training… can I master laws too?"
Saitama blinked.
He felt like he should try.
After all—
his hair wasn't coming back anyway.
Carrying instant noodles, he returned to his apartment and opened the dimensional platform.
His dull eyes lit up instantly.
"It's updated!!"
That cliffhanger-loving author had finally updated!
With no monsters around—
his greatest enjoyment now was watching these videos.
Saitama immediately clicked into the latest one.
"TOP 3… World-Destroying Red Light, Ultimate Power…"
"Sounds interesting."
At the same time—
countless other worlds also noticed the update.
Their eyes lit up.
"Pretty fast… only three hours."
"Alright… I forgive the author."
In the Pokémon world—
Kanto Region, Professor Oak's Laboratory.
Professor Oak was holding a remote conference.
Inside the room, projections of figures appeared—
not real people, but holograms.
They were Pokémon Professors from different regions.
"We've recently discovered a strange phenomenon in the Galar region…"
An elderly woman spoke.
She was the one who initiated the emergency meeting—
Professor Magnolia.
"Some Pokémon… grow to enormous sizes under red light."
"Pokémon suddenly growing larger?" asked a dark-skinned man who resembled Professor Oak.
He was Oak's cousin from the Alola region.
"Yes. Take a look."
Magnolia waved her hand, and a virtual screen appeared.
On it—
a Snorlax rested beneath a berry tree.
Suddenly—
a pillar of red light burst from beneath it, enveloping its body.
Everyone's eyes widened.
Under the red light—
Snorlax's body rapidly expanded.
Until—
it became a fifty-meter giant.
Like a hill lying on the ground.
"What is this?!"
"Why did its size increase so suddenly?!"
"Is this a new move?!"
The professors were stunned.
"No… this isn't an isolated case."
The screen changed again.
A Dugtrio emerged from the ground—
and was engulfed in red light.
Its body expanded rapidly—
becoming a massive fifty-meter form.
The sight of such a gigantic Dugtrio burrowing underground—
was terrifying.
More footage played.
All showing the same phenomenon.
"The red light… what exactly is it?"
Everyone present was a leading authority in Pokémon research.
They immediately realized—
this phenomenon was tied to that red light.
"We don't know," Magnolia said.
"We've excavated those areas, even digging hundreds of meters deep—but found nothing."
"We have no idea where the red light comes from."
"What about their performance in this state?"
"Their strength, combat power, and destructive capability all increase alongside their size."
"And they can use an extremely powerful special move."
The screen changed again.
An Electivire, enlarged by red light, stood fifty meters tall.
A Champion-level Trainer challenged it.
But—
with a single move—
a terrifying electric current spread across thousands of meters.
The battlefield turned into an electric terrain.
A bolt of lightning descended from the sky—
instantly knocking out the Champion's Pokémon.
Even with type advantage—
the sheer power was undeniable.
"This isn't Thunder…"
The professors' expressions turned grave.
"But the state only lasts five minutes," Magnolia added.
"That's a relief…"
"If it lasted longer, it would be a disaster."
"We've examined them afterward—no side effects. All vital signs are normal."
"This phenomenon has only appeared recently."
"And we've confirmed—only Pokémon are affected. Humans are not."
"The composition of the red light is identical to air."
Silence fell.
No one could understand it.
Red light…
Gigantic transformation…
What kind of principle could cause this?
It completely violated the laws of energy conservation.
Just as they were deep in thought—
"It's updated!!"
"The video is updated!!"
Oak's cousin exclaimed.
"Look at the title!"
Everyone froze—
then hurriedly opened the dimensional platform.
It had indeed updated.
On the cover—
a massive pillar of red light pierced the sky, engulfing half the world.
Within it—
ten terrifying silhouettes loomed.
[Ranking the Top Ten Strongest Divine Beasts — TOP 3: World-Destroying Red Light, Ultimate Power]
Seeing the title—
everyone's pupils contracted.
World-destroying…
Red light?!
Could it be—
the same red light appearing in the Galar region?
And the phenomenon of Pokémon suddenly growing larger?
"World-destroying…?"
"Is the world facing another catastrophe?!"
Without hesitation—
everyone clicked into the video.
