A Sudden Awakening?

Countless plumes of smoke that obscured people's vision continued to spread in all directions. The violent tremors had finally come to an end.

Bardock held the half-dead Enforcer Liu Ge, who could breathe his last at any moment, in one hand. White radiance flickered within his pale, lifeless eyes, making him seem utterly desolate.

Liu Ge's face was swollen and bruised, and the two pairs of wings behind him had been brutally torn off by Bardock. He weakly opened his mouth and murmured in an almost inaudible voice, "Bar... Bar... Bardock..."

Bardock looked on with indifference. The muscles in the hand holding Liu Ge swelled slightly, veins gradually bulging as hard muscles gleaming like diamonds emerged.

If there was no mistake, Bardock had decided to end Liu Ge's life here and now.

The entire world seemed to fall silent at that moment. A heavy, oppressive presence descended without warning.

Bardock raised his head, his pale eyes casually sweeping over Nero. His face remained blank, devoid of the slightest emotional fluctuation.

Yet his movements did not slow. His large hand clenched around Liu Ge, leaving him dangling in midair. Then he drew back his other arm, clenched his fist, and prepared to swing it at Liu Ge's head.

That alone caused muffled thunder to rumble through the air around Bardock. It was impossible to imagine just how terrifyingly powerful that punch was.

Who knew how many years it had been? The title of strongest warrior of the ancient era—a title forged from blood and flesh—was about to resound once more...

Weng weng weng~~~

Space trembled, the earth shuddered, and the winds and clouds churned
