At that moment, a tall figure slowly emerged from the darkness.
He wore the warden's uniform, had a burly build, and his face was shrouded in a layer of poisonous mist. It was none other than Magellan, the warden of Impel Down.
Magellan's gaze swept across the scene on Level 6, finally locking onto Misaka Mikoto standing in the center of the passageway. He spoke word by word:
"You dare to intrude into Impel Down Level 6, slaughter all the prisoners, and commit such a heinous crime.
Today, you must stay here and pay the price for what you've done!"
He had just returned from his patrol when he received reports from his subordinates that an intruder had breached Level 6 and killed all the prisoners.
When he arrived at Level 6 and saw the devastation before him, his anger erupted completely.
Impel Down was a prison directly under the World Government's jurisdiction, and the prisoners on Level 6 were serious criminals under the World Government's strict surveillance. Even he did not have the authority to execute them at will.
Yet this young girl before him had slaughtered all the prisoners.
This was not only a provocation against Impel Down but also an open defiance of the World Government!
With such an incident occurring under his management, Magellan knew he would undoubtedly face punishment.
Now, the most important thing was to capture the culprit and lessen his own blame!
Magellan clenched his fists, dark purple venom continuously seeping from his body.
Today, he would definitely make this intruder stay!
Misaka Mikoto slowly turned around, looking at Magellan before her.
As the warden of Impel Down, the Poison-Poison Fruit he possessed was one of the deadliest Devil Fruits on the seas.
Coupled with his considerable physical combat skills, his strength had long reached a level close to that of a Navy Admiral.
What was even more terrifying was that this was Impel Down—his home turf.
The space on Level 6 was narrow and enclosed, with no room for evasion, and his venom could easily fill the entire area, creating attacks with no blind spots.
In such an environment, he could even suppress a Navy Admiral!
This was one of the reasons Impel Down could claim to be the "World's Greatest Prison." With Magellan here, no one could easily leave unscathed.
Yet even facing such a formidable opponent, Ivan remained standing in place, with no intention of fleeing.
Having experienced countless battles and absorbed the Templates of numerous powerful individuals, he was no longer the one who needed to rely on others.
On these seas, very few could make him retreat, and Magellan was clearly not among them.
Magellan stared intently at the petite figure before him, his tone fierce:
"Brat, you don't plan to run?"
Ivan gently shook his head: "Dealing with you doesn't require running."
"How dare you!" These words completely ignited Magellan's fury. "Damn brat, you dare to look down on me? Disappear into endless venom! Poison Cloud!"
Endless poisonous clouds emanated from Magellan's body, instantly enveloping the entire passageway of Level 6.
This poisonous gas contained lethal toxins; even inhaling a trace of it would instantly paralyze the nerves and cause the body to rot and die.
Facing the surging poison cloud, Ivan's expression remained unchanged, showing no sign of panic.
The next moment, the electricity around him suddenly erupted. Countless fine blue arcs surged from his body like living creatures, rapidly intertwining before him to form a massive lightning barrier.
Zzzzt!
The poison cloud slammed violently into the lightning barrier, emitting a piercing screech.
The lightning barrier successfully blocked the deadly poison cloud, not allowing a single wisp of toxic gas to approach Ivan's body.
Watching this scene, the anger on Magellan's face gradually faded, replaced by a deep sense of gravity.
He had originally thought his poison cloud could easily deal with his opponent, but he never expected this brat's electricity could actually counter his venom.
"A strong brat," Magellan said gravely. "I can only say, as expected of Shadow Garden. Even a random member possesses such formidable strength. However, don't forget, this is my territory. Today, you must stay here!"
As his words fell, the venom around Magellan surged wildly, condensing into numerous spheres that hovered before him.
"Poison Pufferfish!"
With Magellan's loud shout, countless venom spheres shot toward Ivan with piercing whistles through the air.
They were densely packed, covering the entire passage, leaving Ivan no room to dodge.
Facing the oncoming venom spheres, Ivan shouted lightly, "Railgun!"
In the next instant, a torrent of lightning surged from his body, accurately striking every single sphere.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Deafening explosions rang out one after another as lightning spears collided with venom spheres, the thunder evaporating the poison.
The venom spheres continuously exploded, turning into a sky full of toxic mist, only to be swiftly dispersed by the lightning.
As the dust gradually settled, Ivan remained standing in place. The currents around him showed no sign of weakening, his expression calm and unruffled. "No more probing. Bring out your full strength and get straight to the point."
In his view, these attacks from Magellan were merely probes, utterly incapable of posing a threat to him.
He didn't want to waste any more time, only wishing to deal with Magellan as quickly as possible.
As his words fell, the electrical currents around Ivan instantly surged. Countless blue lightning bolts intertwined and coiled around his body.
These lightning bolts enveloped his entire form, their light so dazzling it was impossible to look directly at him.
"Thunder Giant!"
With a light shout, Ivan's body, wrapped in lightning, rapidly expanded. In the blink of an eye, he transformed into a thunder giant dozens of meters tall.
His body was composed of pure blue lightning, surrounded by violent electrical currents, radiating an astonishing pressure.
Seeing Ivan transform into a thunder giant, Magellan's pupils contracted sharply.
He knew he could no longer hold back against this brat before him.
"As you wish!" Magellan roared, his own body rapidly enlarging as well. In an instant, he transformed into a venom giant equal in height to the thunder giant.
"Venom Giant: Judgment of Hell!"
The next moment, the two colossal figures moved simultaneously!
The thunder giant took the initiative to attack first, raising a massive fist wrapped in violent currents and smashing it fiercely toward the venom giant.
The venom giant was not to be outdone, lifting a huge venomous fist to meet the thunder giant's punch.
Boom!
The two gigantic figures clashed repeatedly within the sixth level.
Their battle grew increasingly intense, the power of their attacks growing stronger and stronger.
Such a powerful attack nearly shattered the entire sixth level.
The aftershocks of the battle not only swept through the sixth level but also reached the upper fifth level, the Freezing Hell.
Some prisoners on the fifth level were struck by falling debris from the battle's shockwaves.
Others were hit by the spreading lightning, instantly charred to ash.
Still others were contaminated by the leaking venom, their bodies rotting away as they slowly died in agony.
