That double-layered interference created a blink-and-you'll-miss-it opening!
For Saitama, it was already more than long enough.
He appeared directly in front of the envoy, ignoring the dark sphere at point-blank range that radiated an aura of extinction. His right fist was no longer the casual swing from before.
Instead, he drew it back in a slow, heavy motion, as if he were pushing the entire space behind him—pulling it to the absolute limit!
The air around his fist was compressed and twisted by extreme power, letting out a strained, overloaded hum as if it couldn't bear the pressure.
In the Abyss Envoy's deep-blue eyes, an emotion called "shock" appeared for the first time.
He felt it.
Inside that fist was absolute power—enough to overturn laws and shatter concepts themselves!
He wanted to teleport. He wanted to defend.
But the magic array beneath his feet and the chaotic web-energy field surrounding him held him back like iron chains!
"Majime Shirīzu… Hissatsu… Majime Ippatsu (Serious Series… Killer Move… Serious Punch)."
Saitama's voice was flat and calm.
Then—
His fist pushed forward.
Time seemed to stretch in that instant. That utterly ordinary-looking fist carried an indescribable sense of "presence," slow yet unstoppable, pressing into the deep-blue energy shield the envoy hurriedly condensed in front of his chest.
At the moment of contact—
There was no sound.
Or rather, the sound itself was erased by the extreme force.
The deep-blue shield popped like a soap bubble under sunlight, unable to hold on for even a ten-thousandth of a second—shattering without a whisper.
The fist met no resistance at all as it stamped into the envoy's chest.
The envoy's body—formed from deep-blue light—twisted and rippled violently, like a reflection struck by a stone. He opened his mouth as if to speak, but no sound came out.
In those two deep-blue eyes, the light dimmed at a terrifying speed.
The next moment—
BOOOOM!!!!!!!!!
An indescribable roar finally detonated!
From the point of impact, a shockwave of pure, absolute force expanded outward in a perfect sphere. Under that power, the Abyss Envoy's body collapsed instantly—breaking down and scattering into the most primitive deep-blue motes of light, then getting blown apart and erased completely by the shockwave!
Above him, the unfinished extinction sphere dispersed soundlessly as well, like a balloon being pricked.
The shockwave swept through the entire vortex core!
Those powerful dark monsters, before a world-ending force like this, were nothing but dust in a storm—wiped clean in an instant!
Even the spatial rift that had been constantly spewing monsters trembled violently, then shrank rapidly and sealed shut, as if a wound were healing.
The violent energy turbulence gradually calmed.
Silence.
In the warped dark space, only heavy breathing remained. The thick, sticky dark energy receded like a tide, rapidly thinning and dispersing. No monsters. No envoy. No suffocating pressure.
Sunlight—long-lost, warm sunlight—cut through the remaining dark mist like golden blades, pouring down in beams over the ruined plaza.
And as the vortex-space continued to dissolve, those rays shone onto Saitama, Doctor Strange, Spider-Man, and the S.H.I.E.L.D. team.
"...We… won?" Spider-Man collapsed onto the ground, staring at the sunlight falling across his palm, like he couldn't believe it.
Leaning on his energy rifle, Coulson looked at the scene steadily sharpening around them—and at the distant New York skyline reappearing in the clear—then let out a long breath.
A weary, relieved smile finally showed on his face.
"The dark fog is dispersing… we did it. New York… is saved."
