Leo's actions frightened everyone, except for one person.
That person was, of course, Ego, the culprit behind everything.
Ego looked at the giant Leo, who had been crushed beneath the collapsing force, and a satisfied yet excited smile spread across his face, though he vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
He had not even used several of his follow-up moves, yet they had already produced such an effect. Even Ego himself found it somewhat unbelievable.
But after thinking it over carefully, Ego relaxed. After all, how many lives in the universe could withstand that attack? At least, as far as Ego was concerned, apart from those abnormal Insectoids, there were no other life-forms capable of doing so.
But Ego was not satisfied with this alone. He raised his hand sharply once more.
Several giant energy tentacles, each over a thousand meters long, suddenly surged up from the ground. Three of them coiled toward the Golden Body phantom surrounding Leo.
The other five suddenly seized the giant mountain Leo was holding in his hands.
The giant mountain had been incomparably hard, but under the extension of the tentacles, it rapidly split open. A massive amount of Light of Life surged into the mountain, linking itself with the entire structure.
