The city is now largely in ruins.

Using himself as a medium, Pariston gathered and merged all the Undying disease infected, zombies, and shadows in the city, causing his body to swell to nearly a hundred meters tall.

At this point, his swollen body size was extremely exaggerated.

It far surpasses the few dilapidated high-rise buildings that are barely standing in the surrounding area.

On the surface of that twisted aggregate, countless short tentacles wriggled; upon closer inspection, they turned out to be densely packed, intertwined human hands.

The whole thing resembled a hideous behemoth made up of countless corpses, its entire body covered with constantly dripping black, viscous mud.

This is a black abomination made of human corpses.

"Roar!"

The piercing roar resounded throughout the heavens and earth the moment it took shape.

The sound waves created ripples that dispersed the clouds in the sky.

Blinding light shone down, illuminating the black monster.

This fully revealed the monster's disgusting appearance.

The black mud on top began to boil.

Its enormous body condensed rapidly after taking shape.

It eventually condensed to a height of over twenty meters, transforming into a monster forged purely from hatred and death.

Pariston's voice roared from the monster's mouth, but it was distorted and deformed, making it difficult to discern the original sound.

"Look at this twisted form—it's all human hatred!"

You could even hear the joy in his distorted voice.

He could personally feel this human hatred, and now he genuinely felt happiness.

This monster had no eyes, no facial features; it was simply an indescribable aggregate.

The non-existent gaze was fixed on Kevin remained standing still.

Far away.

The top of a high-rise building that has not yet collapsed.

An exit opened up there.

Nobu, covered in sweat, watched the situation in the distance with a tense expression.

He was trembling all over, trembling uncontrollably.

He could sense the threat posed by that dark monster, a threat even greater than the Ant King had been before.

The Ant King is not even in the same league as it.

The Ant King is simply a monster, powerful enough to be non-human.

But this one in front of me.

It was like humanity's natural enemy; the aura it emitted was relentlessly eroding his sense of security.

Nobu couldn't stop thinking about how this monster would cleanse humanity afterward.

They trampled on humanity and integrated it into their bodies.

This forms a vast abomination composed of human beings.

And he also----

This pessimistic thinking stopped.

Because what I heard were Biscuit and the others' voices.

They were watching from the sidelines.

"It's a pity he shrunk his size. It would have been great if he had maintained his original 100-meter size." Biscuit's voice was tinged with regret.

Morel also adjusted his sunglasses and nodded.

"If he maintains that 100-meter sprinter's build, he'll be a sitting duck."

"However, his current size of around twenty meters is just right. Kevin is quite adept at dealing with monsters of this size."

Men Qi couldn't help but laugh as she spoke.

Nobu watched as everyone chatted and laughed.

I couldn't help but say.

"Aren't you afraid? This is a catastrophe specifically designed for humanity, like—like the end of the world."

Morel turned to look at Nobu, whose face was pale and who looked as if he might faint at any moment.

There was no mockery, nor much lamentation; he simply reached out and patted him on the shoulder.

"You're afraid simply because you haven't seen the pinnacle of humanity yet, but it's alright, you'll see it soon, and then you won't be afraid anymore."

One of the main reasons Nobu was so pessimistic was that the enemy was stronger than he had ever imagined humanity to be.

When he believes that humanity is powerless to resist, he falls into Spiral of extreme pessimism, eventually dragging himself into the Abyss.

But if the enemy's strength does not exceed his understanding of human strength.

Then he will never fall into such Abyss.

Because he knew that there were strong beings among humans capable of opposing him.

Like now, if he were to face the Ant King again.

Once again, I faced those guards.

He won't have a mental breakdown like he did last time.

Because he knew someone could stand against him.

Nobu forced himself to suppress his trembling and stared intently at the distant battlefield.

This is even after he has already left the battlefield.

If he were on that battlefield, he felt he could be scared to death at any moment.

Far away.

A piercing, distorted sound rang out.

It emanated from the monster's body.

"Faced with such a disaster, you remain unfazed? Then let me see if you are truly powerful—or simply arrogant!"

Kevin remained unusually calm throughout.

Before he finished speaking, a dozen thick tentacles formed from black mud suddenly shot into the sky.

Each tentacle's tip was an enlarged human hand, forming a dense net that blotted out the sky as it slammed down towards Kevin's location.

The tentacles move incredibly fast, arriving in the blink of an eye.

"Bang! Bang!----"

However, this did not affect the fact that the object crashed into the invisible barrier several meters away from Kevin, producing a dull thud.

Those barriers, those obstacles, were revealed during the impact.

It was a barrier of Nen Aura made of transparent scales, incredibly hard, and remained unmoved no matter how hard the tentacles struck it.

Pariston had anticipated the existence of the barrier.

After all, Kevin had already shown it once.

This time, however, it has already been exposed.

Hidden among the many tentacles is an exceptionally long and thin spike, which blends into the attack in the form of two fingers joined together. Suddenly accelerating, it pierces the gap in the barrier like a streak of Flowing Light.

Kevin did not fully cover himself with a barrier.

However, even this swift attack was still within Kevin's reaction time.

He simply raised his hand and grasped precisely the two fingers that were thrusting towards his face.

The tentacled black mud attempted to burst and permeate, but was completely imprisoned by layers of scales that had appeared out of nowhere, unable to break free no matter how much it boiled and surged.

It was as if Kevin himself had covered the surface of these attacking tentacles with a scaly shell.

"It looks pretty intimidating."

Kevin gripped the tentacle tightly and snatched it with all his might.

"What!"

The exaggerated brute force left Pariston defenseless, and his more than twenty-meter-tall aggregated body was forcibly pulled off the ground.

It traced an arc in mid-air before crashing into a building to the side.

With a deafening roar, the building collapsed, sending plumes of smoke and dust billowing into the sky.

Kevin then began to walk leisurely towards the smoke and dust, as if taking a stroll.

This exaggerated situation stunned everyone watching.

The enemy is a real monster.

It definitely possesses even more exaggerated brute strength, as its exaggerated physique already foreshadows.

However, in this situation, under such pure brute force, the towering monster lost to a human less than two meters tall and was forcibly dragged away.

The stark contrast left everyone speechless.

Only Biscuit and the others nodded silently.

This is how it should be.

And in the dust and smoke kicked up by the monster.

Numerous jet-black tentacles shot out from the smoke and dust, attacking Kevin once again.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

Each attack sliced through the air, arriving in the blink of an eye.

There was absolutely no trace of the attack.

This time, Kevin didn't erect a barrier; he simply dodged left and right with a slight movement, easily avoiding all the attacks by the narrowest of margins.

Its movements were so swift that it even left afterimages in its original spot, as if it had never moved.

Time and time again, densely packed, yet yielding no results.

Pariston realized that a direct attack was ineffective and immediately changed his strategy.

Black mud surged into the ground like a tide, instantly covering the entire battlefield with a flowing, Shadow Creature.

Within the shadow realm, countless arms emerged, and humanoid figures formed from Shadow Creature struggled to their feet, rushing towards Kevin like a tidal wave.

They were all human beings, but humans afflicted with Undying disease.

Only a black shadow remained.

The nearest figure exploded upon approaching, scattering black mud everywhere, but none of it touched Kevin's clothes.

More Shadow Creature figures followed one after another, attempting to overwhelm their target with sheer numbers.

Just as the Shadow Creature figures closed in, Kevin vanished from his spot in a flash.

The monster that Pariston had transformed into was momentarily stunned, completely losing track of its target.

How is that possible?

One of the main reasons he covered the entire area with shadows was because it allowed him to have an extreme perception of the area.

In this situation, Kevin disappeared.

Where are you looking?

Kevin's voice rang out from the side of the monster.

Before they could react, a terrifying force slammed heavily into the monster's body.

"Boom!"

An exaggerated roaring sound.

Kevin punched out a giant crater several meters in diameter on the aggregate, sending black mud fragments flying everywhere.

Although the wound healed rapidly under the churning black mud, the threat posed by the attack made Pariston instinctively tremble.

His entire body was flipped to the ground, with huge gashes in it.

Completely outmatched.

They are no match at all.

This is nothing more than a monster in human skin.

It's not human at all.

I've been scammed.

The black monster immediately merged back into the Omokage ground and retreated rapidly to create distance.

The destructive power contained in that punch, and Kevin's completely illogical speed, made Pariston realize for the first time.

The beings he was facing had long since transcended the category of "Nen user".

Kevin landed.

Standing on a piece of construction rubble.

Looking at the area that almost completely enveloped the city in shadow.

The shadow covered the earth like a calm lake.

He could sense it.

The monster formed from Pariston roams this shadowy area, hiding within and searching for an opportunity.

"Innocent."

If he hadn't reached the Lord Level, even with Ninety-Nine units of spiritual power, he wouldn't have been able to do anything to his current opponent.

But the sublimation of life is irrational.

He let out a soft breath.

He patted off imaginary dust from his body and gently closed his eyes.

Even though Pariston, who was hiding in the shadows, saw this scene, he did not dare to be careless in the slightest and instead kept his distance.

As for the attack...

Stop joking.

Pariston was now thinking about how to create distance in the blink of an eye while escaping the shadows, and whether he could escape the pursuer's clutches.

That's right.

Pariston had lost all desire to continue fighting.

If this continues, he will surely die here, dying here even with his immortal body.

At this moment, the desire to escape was still battling against other wills within the body.

Because Beyond was too close to them.

It was within the shadow's reach.

In this situation, its evil will has no desire to escape; it only wants to kill the other party.

There are very few people like Pariston who can suppress their vengeful hatred with their own willpower.

Within this collective will.

Pariston controlled the actions entirely through his own dominance.

But if you want to go against the majority and run away...

The Hai (亥) has arrived.

Now he can only lurk in the shadows, like a shark lurking in the ocean.

I felt nervous looking at Kevin with his eyes closed.

"Do I get scared and nervous too? It turns out I'm not myself anymore."

Pariston muttered to himself.

At this moment.

Under everyone's gaze.

Behind Kevin, a huge Mental Image appeared, its size reaching about ten meters.

"This is?!"

Netero, who had been watching the video, immediately stood up, pressed his face against the screen, and stared wide-eyed.

Familiar.

It's all too familiar.

But it's the same thing.

It is more sophisticated than the ultimate imagery that one comprehends on one's own.

What is that?

That's a tangible future, a stage I haven't reached yet.

Netero was excited.

Evil saw it; he saw the road ahead.

Faced with the sinister gaze of the person in the room, Netero suppressed his emotions, coughed, and forced back a few steps to contain his excitement.

That brat! He's been back for so long, and this is such an important matter, yet you won't let him see it for himself.

The moment the Mental Image appeared, Pariston had a slight, almost spurious, premonition.

Kevin opened his eyes.

The Mental Image behind him, with its eyes closed, simultaneously opened its eyes.

Both of Kevin's eyes, as seen in the Mental Image, simultaneously looked in one direction of the shadow.

That's where Pariston is.

"No, no, no!"

Pariston felt his soul frantically sending out warnings to evil.

The evil ones were being targeted, just like they were being targeted by a natural enemy.

Run!

Run!!

The evil within is screaming.

Evil acts in the same way, but the bodies formed by evil do not obey its commands at all.

"Damn it, do you feel it? Run! If we keep running, forget about revenge, we won't even be able to survive!"

However, the will within the body remained unmoved, forcefully keeping the evil in this area with overwhelming force.

"Damn it, damn it!"

Pariston could only scream internally, but he had no way to control it.

Xie felt a panic, terror, and despair that he might never have felt before.

But when this feeling first arose, he lost his composure.

Was this the kind of extra emotion that Xie once sought?

Evil only wanted to struggle and escape.

However, his gaze had already been fixed on him.

The two arms on the Mental Image behind Kevin are quite old and steadily supporting the Giant Tripod on his shoulders.

But his arms below were in the same pose as Kevin's.

Slightly squat down.

He pulled his right fist back sharply.

Electricity crackled around Kevin, with fine crackles emanating from his skin and pores.

Even its eyes turned blue.

His hair turned completely blue and stood up straight.

Even the Mental Image behind Kevin displayed the same posture, flashing with lightning, as if Thor had descended upon the world.

Suddenly, the body stopped accumulating energy.

Like a sculpture, it moves with every movement.

In a sudden, instantaneous moment.

Change of posture.

See the moment Hai throws his punch.

All I could see was the stance changing from a charged punch to a powerful, explosive strike.

The right fist, which had been gathering power, had stopped on the shadowy ground.

The world fell silent.

The whole world seemed to fall silent.

Hai knew how long this quiet had lasted.

The wind howled again.

The world seemed to return to silence.

The shadows on the ground disappeared, and the monster that had gathered together did not seem to reappear from the shadows.

It was as if the moment the blade was cut, Hai had vanished in an instant.

In the command center.

"Hmm, where did the Shadow Hai go? Was it resolved?"

The image shows Kevin standing on the ground waving at the evil ones.

The shadows on the ground and Pariston were gone in an instant.

It was as if the battle was already over.

It seems that everyone is missing the scene of what happened just moments ago.

The evil ones didn't see it; they only saw it jump from one scene to another.

Netero took a deep breath.

What is that?

Xie vaguely saw it, as if time and space had stopped, but it was too far off.

He regretted it.

Their expressions were written all over their faces.

I should have been there to experience this battle firsthand.

He glared fiercely at the official behind him.

This made it clear to the official.
