Battle - 2

"Boom

The shockwave from the explosion tore through Titan's atmosphere. Chen Tian looked up sharply, and in his pupils was reflected the distorted, living planet— Ego's gigantic face was overlooking the battlefield. Its eyes were like two burning stars, radiating a suffocating sense of oppression.

Thanos's lips curled into a sinister smile as he plunged his double-edged sword into the ground, sending up rubble and dust.

"You didn't think... I had no help, did you?" His voice was low and sarcastic. "You killed the Supergiant, but you also lost a comrade... Does it hurt, Chen Tian?"

Chen Tian withdrew his gaze from the sky and slowly turned to Thanos. There was no trace of grief on his face; instead, a cold, almost insane smile appeared.

"Heh..." He reversed his grip on the Red Queen, the hilt twisting violently. The engine roared like thunder, and crimson flames erupted from the blade. "You'd better worry about yourself first."

Before he finished speaking, Chen Tian's figure vanished instantly, leaving only a blur in his wake. Thanos's pupils contracted sharply, and he instinctively raised his sword to block.

"Clang--!!!"

The moment Red Queen clashed with the double-edged sword, a shockwave exploded, causing the ground within a hundred meters to collapse instantly. Thanos's arm muscles bulged, and veins writhed like dragons, yet he was still forced back several steps by the force of the sword strike.

"EX--BURST!!!"

Chen Tian grinned maliciously, and the Red Queen's engine overloaded. The flames on the blade instantly surged, transforming into a crimson crescent moon that slashed fiercely towards Thanos's chest!

Boom

Thanos's armor twisted and deformed under the intense heat, and his body was blasted hundreds of meters away by the sword, carving a deep trench in the ground. However, the Titan tyrant abruptly stopped, raised his head, and his eyes burned with furious flames.

"You... you're asking for it!"

He roared, his muscles swelled to their limit, the ground beneath his feet collapsed, and he charged towards Chen Tian like a cannonball!

At the same time--

"Saitama- sensei?!" Kiana's exclamation was swallowed by the roar of the explosion. From the blazing white beam of light, powerful enough to vaporize a planet, a shiny bald head suddenly appeared— Saitama's clothes had been completely obliterated in the energy shock.

"It's a bit hot." He touched his bald head, the only red boxing glove remaining between his legs standing out conspicuously in the universe.

The surface of Ego's Planet churned violently, and tens of thousands of fleshy tentacles pierced through the earth's crust. "You lowly carbon-based creatures!" The entire planet roared deafeningly, the tentacles weaving into a colossal net that blotted out the sky, "Let me show you true Kamui!"

"Shut up." Saitama's expression suddenly changed. As his fist slowly clenched, he unleashed Consecutive Normal Punches.

The first punch shattered the giant web of tentacles, and the shockwave blasted three Chitauri Mothership into elementary particles. The second punch pierced the Earth's crust, and the shockwave triggered a chain reaction in the star's core. The third punch struck Ego's single eye, instantly vaporizing this organ with a diameter of three hundred kilometers.

"No... impossible!" Ego frantically reassembled his shattered body, an eerie red light illuminating the depths of the star's core. "I am... Eternity being!" The entire planet began to collapse, its gravity so distorted that even light could not escape.

Saitama's pupils contracted slightly. "Oh?" His figure suddenly appeared directly in front of the collapsing singularity, the movement of his right fist retracting to his waist distorting the starlight in the background of the entire Milky Way. "Serious Series-- "

Space shattered like glass before absolute power. The moment the fist was thrown, the cosmological constant was rewritten.

"Serious Punch."

The collapsing Ego suddenly froze. Then, countless cracks spread from the core to the surface, each Central City with Nova- level light. This living planet, which had existed for millions of years, crumbled like a ball of clay crushed by a child. From among the countless burning fragments, Ego's final, mournful cry could be faintly heard, "This... is... the... power of mortals...?"

Saitama gently landed on the largest fragment, scratching his head as he looked at the scattered star debris. "Did I use too much force?"

The various intelligent races on the distant Titan were all stunned when they saw Saitama annihilate Ego.

The quantum monitoring device on the Nova Prime's spaceship suddenly erupted with blinding sparks. Silence fell over the ship; everyone remained frozen in a dislocated jaw position. Nova Prime's eyes simultaneously went unfocused. "That naked creature only needed a few punches..."

Ayesha's golden face lost its luster. "Our High Evolutionary..." She stared at Saitama, who was scratching his butt in the holographic projection, her scepter clattering to the ground, "Was overturned by a monkey who can't even keep his clothes on?"

The Asgard reconnaissance ship, disguised as a meteorite, was shrouded in a blur of motion. Loki's projection flickered violently. "Turn off the image!" he yelled, overturning a barrel of mead. "Damn it! I'm never messing with humans again!"

The Ravagers leader, Stakar, crushed his favorite Zehoberei cigar. "Notify all branches..." the legendary Ravagers's voice was hoarse, "From today onwards, if you encounter a bald man in a cloak during a raid—" A holographic image suddenly flashed on the star map: Saitama, realizing he was naked, frantically searching for cover. "Hand over all your treasure immediately!"

Thanos's body crashed heavily into a mountainside a kilometer away, sending debris and dust flying into the sky. He struggled to crawl out of the ruins, his purple skin covered with burn marks, his armor tattered and revealing his grotesque muscles, and his left arm twisted, clearly broken.

However, when he looked up at the sky, his violent eyes suddenly froze—

Ego, that self-proclaimed god-like living planet, is now disintegrating into countless burning fragments in Titan's orbit.

"This...is impossible..." Ego, the guy who called himself a 'god,' was currently unleashing his final fireworks display in space. Ironically, the one who destroyed the Kami was a bald man whose clothes had been burned off.

Chen Tian stood not far away, the Red Queen's engine still roaring, its crimson flames reflecting his mocking smile.

"This is your backup plan?" He tilted his head, his tone flippant. "A self-destructing meatball?"

Thanos's knuckles cracked, and his sword trembled. It wasn't fear, but pure rage. But when he channeled his power again, a sharp pain shot through his broken ribs.

"Anything else?" He tilted his head, his smile growing increasingly dangerous. "If not, you're going to die."

Thanos's breathing became heavy; he had never been so underestimated. But just as he prepared to Charge again—

A solemn voice of judgment echoed from space beyond Titan:

"I am Arak the Eradicator, the Exterminator of the Celestials."

The firmament of Titan was suddenly torn apart, and a figure even more magnificent than Ego Descent — Arak the Eradicator, the Celestials. He was shrouded in gold and blue armor, and his eyes, like two judgmental stars, looked down upon this tiny planet.

"Anomaly detected." The Exterminator's voice boomed directly in everyone's minds. "Target confirmed: Chen Tian. Execute eradication protocol."

Thanos slowly straightened up, a cold smile appearing on his purple face. He recognized this being— the Celestials, the Exterminator —but he never considered himself inferior.

"They've finally arrived." Thanos used his double-edged sword to prop himself up and looked at Chen Tian.

"This is my backup plan, Chen Tian." Thanos's face revealed a vicious yet smug smile. "The Celestials, one of the most powerful beings in the universe. Now, can you still be so smug?"

"Oh," Chen Tian replied casually, "Anything else?"

Thanos was utterly astonished. Wasn't the appearance of the Celestials enough to frighten Chen Tian?

The Exterminator's fingertips gathered a beam of destructive light, the energy fluctuations distorting the atmosphere of Titan. His voice was cold and mechanical:

"Target locked. Execute eradication."

Just as that beam of light, powerful enough to Oblivion a planet, was about to descend—

"Big guy! Are you trying to kill my commander?!"

Kiana's voice boomed like thunder as her figure burst forth from the Gundam, a black-gold energy storm erupting around her. Her pupils turned a brilliant gold, her long hair danced wildly in the surging energy, and Six Paths the Void gates appeared behind her, each shimmering with destructive energy.

"Then I'll kill you!"

--Herrscher of the Void - Awakening!

The Exterminator paused slightly, his data analysis working frantically, yet he couldn't decipher the girl before him who had suddenly unleashed god-level energy.

"Threat level reassessment." The Exterminator's voice remained calm. "Execute the final elimination protocol."

Kiana gave him no time to think. She raised her hand, and countless Subspace Spear shot out from the Void gate, each powerful enough to pierce through a planet's core!

"Die!"

The Exterminator was forced to withdraw its attack on Chen Tian and instead raised its hand to block. The Subspace Spear struck his energy barrier, unleashing a shockwave powerful enough to tear space apart. Titan's crust cracked in the aftershocks, spewing out magma.

Thanos's pupils contracted sharply. He had never imagined that, apart from Saitama and Chen Tian, this seemingly ordinary girl also possessed such terrifying power!

"This is impossible..." he growled, his battle sword digging deep into the ground to steady himself. "Who is she?!"

Chen Tian stood not far away, the Red Queen's flames still burning, but a playful smile appeared on his lips.

"Kiana, don't go too far," he said lazily. "I still want to make a few more cuts."

A familiar glint of cunning flashed in Kiana's golden eyes.

"Commander, you just watch from the sidelines—" Her voice carried the authority of the Herrscher of the Void, yet also contained Kiana's unique capriciousness, "This big guy is my prey!"

The Exterminator finally got serious. He spread his arms, and his golden energy armor began to reorganize, transforming into an even more powerful battle form.

Threat Level: Ultimate. Execute Final Cleanup Protocol.

A blinding light shone from the core of his chest— the Celestials's world-destroying weapon, the Cosmic Zero Cannon. Once unleashed, it would be enough to reset an entire galaxy to Void!

Kiana merely gave a cold laugh and crossed her arms in front of her chest.

That's it?

Behind her, Six Paths the Void gates fully opened, and endless Honkai Energy converged into a pitch-black sphere— the Imaginary Realm: Descent: The End!

A blinding white light erupted from the core of the Exterminator's chest, and the energy of the Cosmic Zero Cannon began to distort the gravitational field of the entire Titan. Debris on the ground floated up as if defying the laws of physics, turning into dust in the energy storm.

"Charging complete. Final cleanup and startup."

Kiana's lips curled up, and she suddenly swung her slender fingers forward.

"The Imaginary Realm: Descent —devour him!"

The pitch-black sphere of doom suddenly expanded, transforming into the Void vortex with a diameter of one kilometer. The terrifying gravity caused the trajectory of the Exterminator's energy cannon to deviate, and the two world-destroying forces collided violently in mid-air!

"Boom----!!!"

The shockwave from the collision instantly swept across the entire star system. Titan's moons vaporized in the aftershocks, and the Nova Corps fleet, far outside its orbit, was overturned tens of thousands of kilometers away. Alarms blared on Loki's reconnaissance ships, and the God of Mischief clung tightly to the control panel to avoid being thrown off.

"Damn it! Are these lunatics trying to tear the Milky Way apart?!"

At the center of the battlefield, space shattered like glass. Kiana's long hair danced wildly in the turbulent energy flow. Suddenly, she clasped her hands together, and the Six Paths the Void gates simultaneously reversed their direction.

"Subspace Spear - Final Volley!"

Tens of thousands of black and gold spears simultaneously pierced the Exterminator from different dimensions. Each spear carried the power to rewrite the laws of physics, and spiderweb-like cracks began to appear on the Celestials' energy barrier.

"Warning! Defense system overload!" The Exterminator's mechanical voice fluctuated for the first time, "Imaginary attribute attack detected... Threat level redefined..."

Thanos knelt on one knee, supporting himself with his sword. His purple skin was covered with tiny wounds—marks from spatial rifts. The Titan tyrant finally showed a look of shock.

"This is impossible... She actually suppressed the Celestials?!"

Chen Tian had appeared beside him without him noticing, with the Red Queen casually draped over his shoulder.

"What? You're scared already?" He raised an eyebrow teasingly. "Want me to lend you a chair so you can watch the show?"

Just as Thanos was about to roar, his pupils suddenly contracted— Kiana's figure had already appeared above the Exterminator's head, a miniature black hole condensing in her right hand.

"Judgment time has arrived!"

As the girl spoke in a lighthearted tone, the black hole was forcefully pressed into the Exterminator's crown. The Celestials's massive body staggered backward for the first time, his armor beginning to rapidly disintegrate from the point of contact.

"Core damaged! Emergency repair procedures initiated!"

The energy core in the Exterminator's chest flickered wildly, attempting to reconstruct its body. But Kiana had already spread her arms, and the Void vortex behind her suddenly expanded tenfold.

"Imaginary Singularity - Unfold!"

The entire battlefield suddenly fell into an eerie stillness. The next second, the space within a radius of about ten thousand meters centered on the Exterminator vanished as if erased by an eraser. When the light dissipated, only a perfect spherical void remained, even the space itself had been completely Oblivion.

Thanos stared in shock as the formidable Exterminator was annihilated by Kiana; he was completely stunned.

Am I really going to die here?

Suddenly, the Void began to distort abnormally. Countless golden particles of light seeped out from the Void and reformed into the outline of the Exterminator. But this time, his form underwent a terrifying change—black patterns crawled across his once solemn armor, and crimson light flickered in his eyes.

"Imaginary number contamination detected... Activate final elimination weapon..."

The Exterminator's voice became hoarse and distorted. He slowly raised his right hand, and his entire arm suddenly disintegrated and reassembled into a giant cannon that stretched across the sky. The dense runes on the cannon lit up at the same time; they were forbidden characters from the beginning of the universe.
