Boom!
With a deafening roar, Broly stepped through the air itself and charged at Ashveil once more.
"As compensation for entertaining me," Broly shouted, his voice shaking the heavens.
"Take this back!"
"Blast Meteor!"
In an instant, the sky was completely filled with dense Ki blasts. They spread across the entire firmament, raining down and striking Ashveil from every direction.
A terrifying pressure engulfed the whole battlefield. It was clear to everyone watching that Broly's true combat power was only now being fully unleashed.
Ashveil could no longer avoid a direct clash, even if he wanted to.
So be it.
Once Broly was defeated, peace would finally return, and no one would dare challenge him again.
That thought stirred Ashveil's fighting spirit.
A portion of the Conqueror's Haki defense surrounding his body separated outward. There was no alternative. Although his Conqueror's Haki provided seamless protection, against a monster like Broly, it could still be broken through.
Ashveil directly fused the Phoenix ability into his Conqueror's Haki.
In that moment, Immortal Conqueror's Haki was born.
Ashveil raised his palm and looked straight at Broly.
"Then let us see whose power is truly superior."
"Supreme King Haki Shield!"
The moment his voice fell, an Immortal Conqueror's Haki shield condensed before him, standing firmly in the air.
Facing Broly's Super Saiyan form, Ashveil could no longer hold back. This Supreme King Haki Shield, formed from Immortal Conqueror's Haki and the Phoenix's regenerative power, was his greatest trump card.
The massive shield immediately caught Broly's attention.
This was formed by sacrificing part of Ashveil's external Conqueror's Haki defense.
At the same time, Ashveil entrusted his personal defense entirely to the Supreme King Haki Armor, a layer only one centimeter thick around his body, yet far more durable than his former defense.
After Broly entered his Super Saiyan state, his Ki surged dozens of times over.
The dense Ki blasts collided with Ashveil's shield in the sky.
In an instant, the heavens seemed to explode.
Moments earlier, white clouds still drifted overhead. Now, behind Ashveil, not a single cloud remained. They had been completely erased by the terrifying aftermath of the collision.
Energy detonated wildly. Ashveil's Conqueror's Haki shield shattered the moment it made contact with Broly's Ki blasts.
Yet something unbelievable happened.
The instant the shield shattered, a mysterious force restored it completely. In a blink, it reformed with no visible difference from before.
The spectators were stunned.
Everyone could clearly sense that Broly's power had undergone a massive increase.
In the Shinobi world, the Sage of Six Paths stared through his Rinnegan. He could see that Broly's combat power had multiplied dozens of times after transforming.
They had thought Ashveil would surely fall.
Yet he possessed such a divine defense.
Compared to this, even the Sage Tools seemed insignificant.
Within the Rinnegan's vision, an unimaginably heavy and boundless defensive force stood firm in the sky.
In the Pirate World, Marco jumped up in excitement.
"I remember this Supreme King Haki Shield," he said loudly.
"He used it back when we fought Imu sama."
"I never imagined it would be this powerful now."
Back then, it had only been Golden Conqueror's Haki. Now, Ashveil's Conqueror's Haki was boundless, and combined with the Phoenix ability, it formed true absolute defense.
An even more terrifying defensive power than the Conqueror's Haki defense Ashveil once relied on had appeared.
Whitebeard, Edward Newgate, Golden Lion Shiki, and the others all smiled faintly. They could feel it clearly.
Ashveil's Supreme King Haki Shield could withstand any attack in this world.
"You are terrifying," Broly muttered, his eyes narrowing.
"You are even stronger than Son Goku from my world."
Ashveil's defensive power caused Broly to subconsciously recall that man.
Ashveil's Conqueror's Haki continued to grow with every passing moment of battle, strengthening with every breath.
Still, Ashveil did not underestimate Broly.
This was the demon king who had slaughtered the Dragon Ball World.
There was no way this was all he had.
Ashveil did not even want to imagine Broly's next form. It might possess power capable of destroying entire galaxies.
A faint smile appeared on Ashveil's face as his fingers moved subtly.
In the sky, the Conqueror's Haki that had overflowed from the Supreme King Haki Shield condensed once more.
It took shape.
A spear.
The entire spear crackled with violent lightning, arcs of electricity dancing along its surface. The Conqueror's Haki Spear glowed intermittently, exuding an overwhelming will.
The Supreme King Haki Spear had appeared.
The will of a king instantly spread across the entire world.
Broly looked up at the spear above him, his mouth slightly open.
"What terrifying Ki," he muttered.
"Just its aura alone forces everything in this world to submit. Truly worthy of a king."
As the spear formed, fear inexplicably gripped the hearts of all beings across the secondary dimensions.
In the One Punch Man World, the heroes' expressions changed drastically.
"What is this pressure?" Bang said in shock.
"This feeling…"
He had felt something similar forty years ago, when he was still a novice and faced a true martial arts master.
Since then, he had risen to the level of a grandmaster and never again felt such oppression.
Yet now, from thousands of miles away, Ashveil's Supreme King Haki Spear made his heart tremble.
"From this distance alone…" Bang muttered.
"Is Ashveil even more terrifying than Broly?"
Child Emperor, Tatsumaki, Atomic Samurai, and the others were even more shaken.
In the Shinobi world, Onoki stared with his mouth wide open.
He had always believed Dust Release to be the ultimate offensive technique.
But compared to Ashveil's Supreme King Haki Spear, Dust Release felt incomplete.
Naruto, Sasuke, Kakashi, and the others swallowed hard.
"If they fought in our world," Kakashi said gravely,
"I am afraid no ninjutsu or defense could withstand the shockwaves alone."
On the battlefield, the spear descended.
Its icy killing intent locked directly onto Broly.
So fast.
Broly's expression changed sharply. Even in his Super Saiyan state, he felt true fear.
Roar!
Broly roared and his aura expanded once more. The Saiyan energy around him surged violently as he condensed terrifying power between his hands.
Under that aura, a faint, monstrous phantom appeared around his body.
Ashveil noticed it instantly.
This was not something he had seen before.
Now it was clear how Broly had gone on to kill Zeno.
In the Pirate World, Zeus saw the phantom and collapsed in terror.
"It is over, it is over," he wailed.
"I told you, Broly is invincible!"
"Shut up," Golden Lion Shiki snapped, cigarette clenched between his teeth.
The next moment, Shiki activated his ability and flung Zeus straight into the sea. Silence finally returned.
Whitebeard frowned deeply.
"Looking at him now," he said solemnly,
"Broly is no longer human. He is a demon."
"This is a battle between gods and demons," Mihawk muttered, his eyes sharp.
On the battlefield, the energy Broly had condensed erupted with blinding light.
"Ki Blast!"
The attack exploded outward like a nuclear detonation, colliding directly with Ashveil's Supreme King Haki Spear.
Boom!
A world-shaking explosion erupted.
Centered on Ashveil and Broly, two incomprehensible forces clashed.
A circular shockwave spread outward instantly, infused with Conqueror's Haki and Broly's demonic Ki, annihilating everything in its path.
The ground collapsed, forming a bottomless chasm that exposed blazing magma.
From outside the artificial planet, the damage was unmistakable. A massive crack split the planet itself.
The sky was torn apart, the atmosphere thrown into violent chaos as unknown winds uprooted mountains.
And within that storm of destruction, the aftermath slammed directly into Ashveil and Broly themselves.
