The battle had begun in the already devastated Monster Paradise.
All of the Monster Legion's fighting forces had gathered on the northern shore of Monster Paradise's main island.
Liger Mammoth, Carnage Kabuto, Meruem, and Ulquiorra.
With "Pighead Emperor" Crute and the still-living Aatrox, they had only six Top Combatants.
One more monster, Hundred-Armed Octopus Shark, remained in hiding, searching for an opportunity.
They were overwhelmingly outnumbered in terms of Top Combatants.
Although they still had large numbers of monster-men, those forces could do little to turn the tide.
"Ice Age."
To the weak, Kuzan's freezing power was all but impossible to counter.
Intense cold poured out, freezing one monster-man after another, locking them in their original poses beneath layers of frost.
These monster-men posed no threat to him whatsoever.
With him blocking their way, they could not join the battlefield either.
Meanwhile, the Monster Legion's other fighters were completely surrounded.
They faced not one or two powerful opponents, but four or five.
No matter how strong they were, they could only be suppressed under such circumstances.
Meruem, with his formidable fighting ability, had a little more room to maneuver.
His four limbs and tail were all lethal weapons, allowing him to barely hold his own even against several opponents.
A single full-powered sweep of his tail could inflict tremendous damage.
The needle-like weapon was especially dangerous. The slightest lapse in attention could cost someone their life, devouring their entire body.
The more people there were, the harder it became to coordinate.
Carnage Kabuto had already entered his Asura form, charging wildly like a rampaging bull.
Overwhelming strength and a vicious, scythe-like horn.
Consumed by fury, he threw himself into a frenzied battle.
He had little in the way of technique.
Surrounded by Zephyr, Garp, and the others, he simply fought.
