"There's no need to thank me. You've been a decent host these past few days."
"Besides, when disaster struck just now, you at least had the decency to put yourself in our shoes and urge us to leave first. If you hadn't been so honorable, I wouldn't have bothered getting involved."
Qin Feng clapped his hands, his tone calm.
"Where did you come from?"
"And how dare you interfere with my assassination mission?"
After a brief moment of shock, Hit's gaze turned cold again.
He truly hadn't expected this seemingly ordinary young man to see through the trajectory of his attack.
Though he'd only struck casually and hadn't used his true power,
in Universe 6, the number of people who could follow his movements could be counted on one hand.
"You're not worthy of knowing who I am."
"I made myself perfectly clear. I'm protecting Zamasu."
"Whether it's you, Hit, or even Champa, the God of Destruction, coming here in person, you won't lay a finger on him today."
Qin Feng stood with his hands in his pockets, looking at Hit with complete confidence.
He wasn't bluffing.
With his current strength, he could put up a fight even against Champa, the God of Destruction.
As for Hit, no matter how bizarre his ultimate technique was, he was still far below a God of Destruction.
"You arrogant fool."
"No one in the universe can stop a job once I, Hit, have accepted it."
"Get lost while I'm still giving you the chance!"
Hit's voice was icy as he ordered Qin Feng to leave.
As the greatest assassin, he was born proud.
In his eyes, Qin Feng was nothing but a clown with a little talent. He didn't take him seriously at all.
"That self-important attitude of yours really makes me want to hit you."
"If I'd known you were this full of yourself, I should've chosen to take you out when I accepted the job."
The smile gradually faded from Qin Feng's face.
A stuck-up show-off like Hit wouldn't learn his lesson without a good beating.
"Take me out?"
"I've lived for over a thousand years, and that's the first time I've heard such a hilarious piece of nonsense."
Hit looked as if he'd just heard the funniest joke in the world.
In Universe 6, there was no one who could kill him.
Even if he stood still and didn't fight back, no one in the universe—aside from the lofty gods—could break through his defenses.
"Whether it's nonsense or not, you'll find out soon enough."
"Show me what you can really do. Let's see if you deserve your reputation as the greatest assassin."
Qin Feng beckoned Hit with a finger, his taunt unmistakable.
"You fool. You don't know when to quit."
"Since you're in such a hurry to die, I'll send you on your way."
Hit's eyes narrowed slightly, murder gleaming in them.
Whoosh!
The next second, Hit vanished without warning.
He had disappeared completely—not even a trace of his ki remained!
Time-Skip activated!
"Trying to play with time against me?"
"Don't think you're the only one who can do that."
Qin Feng scoffed inwardly and vanished in a flash as well.
He disappeared from the spot in an instant.
Hit's sure-kill attack struck only empty air.
"Impossible!"
"That kid dodged my attack...and his ki disappeared too?"
"No way! Time-Skip is my secret technique. There's no way anyone else in the universe knows it!"
Hit reappeared, his mind thrown into turmoil.
The way Qin Feng had vanished was exactly the same as his own!
He had stepped completely outside the current timeline.
But this was Hit's signature technique. How could an outsider possibly know it?
"Look at you, scared out of your wits."
"Keep your eyes open. The best part is still to come."
Qin Feng appeared out of thin air directly above Hit, looking down at him.
"Haaah!"
With a low roar that shattered the great hall,
BOOM!
A wild, golden aura erupted from Qin Feng like a volcanic explosion!
In an instant, Qin Feng's appearance changed beyond recognition.
His thick black hair spilled wildly around him, his upper body covered in dense red fur, and his pupils turned a cold golden yellow.
A red, simian tail lashed behind him like a whip.
Super Saiyan 4, Full Power Form!
"G-Good heavens! What's happened to Mr. Qin Feng's body?!"
"That energy level is terrifying! The Mainframe's Scouter has maxed out!"
"W-What kind of horrifying power is this?!"
Zamasu and the guards collapsed to the floor, their entire worldview crumbling.
Even Hit, who had been calm as a rock just moments ago, now looked grim.
An unprecedented sense of mortal danger crawled up his spine like a snake.
He had never experienced this suffocating pressure in all his thousand-plus years of life.
"What kind of monster is he?"
"How could a walking volcano of this magnitude be hiding in the universe?"
"I've been around for over a thousand years, and I've never even heard of him!"
Hit stared at Qin Feng in midair, cold sweat running down his forehead.
He knew perfectly well that this tangible power far surpassed his own!
If this monster could use Time-Skip flawlessly too, Hit might really be doomed today.
"What's wrong, Hit? You look like you've seen a ghost. Scared?"
"You're the greatest assassin in Universe 6. If you can't even keep your cool, I'll be disappointed."
After transforming into a Super Saiyan 4, Qin Feng looked down at Hit, his tone even.
His body felt like it contained a nuclear reactor, an endless torrent of energy surging through him.
Hit wasn't nearly good enough to be a challenge.
"Don't get ahead of yourself, you arrogant bastard!"
"Your power is certainly absurd—greater than that of any target I've faced in my thousand years of life. But thinking you can beat me is pure fantasy!"
Hit's face was livid as he stared at Qin Feng.
In all the time he'd been alive, no one had ever survived one of his jobs.
That had never happened before, and he wouldn't allow it to happen now.
"Is that so? Let's hope you can back up all that confidence."
"Come at me."
Qin Feng beckoned dismissively.
"You fool!"
Hit narrowed his eyes and shot forward like an arrow, closing the distance in an instant.
When he was less than five meters from Qin Feng, he vanished into thin air.
Whoosh!
"Still using that trick?"
Qin Feng's lips curled slightly.
If he didn't understand how Time-Skip worked, Hit might have caught him off guard.
But he'd already figured out Hit's abilities. Hit was an open book to him now.
Besides, at Qin Feng's current speed, Hit couldn't even see his taillights!
Whoosh!
Qin Feng vanished in an instant as well.
"He disappeared again..."
"That kid really does know Time-Skip!"
Hit's punch missed as he jumped forward to a point in the future. His expression changed, and a powerful sense of danger welled up inside him.
Bam!
Before he could react, a searing pain struck his cheek.
He hadn't even seen how Qin Feng had attacked before he was sent flying like a cannonball.
Rumble!
The enormous impact sent him crashing through the palace's sturdy wall, leaving a huge, human-shaped hole behind.
"T-That's insane!"
"Mr. Qin Feng sent Hit flying with just one punch!"
"My goodness! Even Hit couldn't fight back!"
In the great hall, Zamasu and the guards stared in stunned silence, their legs trembling.
To them, Hit was an invincible Grim Reaper.
But just now, the Grim Reaper had been sent flying like a punching bag.
The most terrifying part was that they'd watched with their eyes wide open and still hadn't seen Qin Feng move!
