This...
The world-shaking sensation abruptly stabilized, and the restless crowd in the venue quieted down along with the sudden calm.
In the center of the arena, countless gaping cracks now spread out menacingly. The surrounding protective barriers had become support points for the audience stands, and the audience stands on all sides now tilted towards the center, which itself had sunken slightly.
No one knew whether this situation was caused by the earthquake or Jaden's punch...
But thinking about it, it must have been the earthquake.
Stopping an earthquake with a punch...
-Are you kidding me!?
That's definitely not something a human can achieve with flesh and blood!
So, the earthquake must have stopped by chance, and everything in the venue must have been caused by that earthquake. These must all be coincidences.
After calming down slightly, everyone thought this way.
But when they saw the figure in the center of the arena, slowly pulling his fist out of the ground and continuing to look down at Julius, they also knew one thing.
-That confident and overbearing man probably doesn't think so.
"What a letdown. I don't even have the heart to kill you now."
Jaden looked down at Julius, who was lying on the ground, with one ear nearly ruined and now looking dumbfounded.
"If you switch from Toyo Electric Power's representative fighter to Totsuki's fighter, I'll spare your life-of course, if you still don't want to surrender, I can fulfill that wish too."
So...
"You choose for yourself."
Hearing Jaden say this, in Julius's vision, Jaden's figure merged with the figure of the 'God of Humanity,' Izuru Kamukura, the one created by the research base.
He remembers very clearly, or rather, he will never forget that day.
The last time he surrendered, his one and only surrender up to that point, the opponent told him the exact same words, expressionlessly and with a voice devoid of emotion.
"Do you want to live or die, you choose for yourself."
And then.
-He surrendered last time.
After that surrender, Julius recalled and simulated the same scene countless times. He felt that if given another chance, he would definitely sneer and face death without fear.
But...
Now that it happened again, Julius still slowly opened his mouth.
"I... I surrender..."
As Julius spoke, Jaden stood up. Julius, using his severely impaired hearing, heard Sayaka Katahara seem to announce the result, someone seemingly shouting-Match over, the winner is, Demon Spear, Jade Yukin!
But that no longer mattered to him. Julius originally thought that facing this humiliation again would leave him consumed by unwillingness, but in reality, he was quite calm now.
And.
-He remembered.
He's not afraid of death. If he were afraid of death, he wouldn't have abandoned his identity as a highly intelligent elite and gone to the research base for body reinforcement experiments. If he were afraid of death, he wouldn't have actively requested the next experiment after one near-death experience.
Yes...
He's not afraid of death.
So.
Julius, who had been confused by regret and unwillingness, finally understood at this moment.
It was the same last time, and it's the same this time.
He wasn't afraid of death.
What truly terrified him were that Izuru Kamukura and this Jaden!
They are more terrifying than death!
That's why he surrendered. And he has completely lost. Julius understood this and slowly closed his eyes.
And Jaden, after hearing the declaration that the match was over, heard a second declaration from the system.
He had previously used a Custom Enhancement Card, and the goal set at that time was the victory of this Kengan Annihilation Tournament. Now, he had won.
So, that card took effect, directly enhancing his Conqueror Haki .
In fact, Jaden's Haki was strengthened twice. The first was when he figured out some things, and his Haki strengthened slightly as a result. The second time is this moment.
After two enhancements, Jaden felt it a bit-his current Conqueror Haki can finally be considered Haki fit for a person.
His Haki before was truly weak. After all, you have Conqueror Haki ; no one is asking you to exert the same suppressing power as the Haki in the Pirate world, but at least when you suppress miscellaneous opponents, you should be a little effective. But Jaden's previous Haki only made Saiba Asahi's legs tremble. That was truly weak!
But now it's different. Jaden estimates that the current intensity of his Haki is enough to sweep away miscellaneous opponents!
Jaden was quite satisfied with this gain.
And...
Jaden, having gained this, glanced at Erina, who was protected by Karura and Fuki Kure in the audience stands.
Erina smiled and nodded at him.
-It seems the bomb issue has been resolved.
And with Erina now becoming the Kengan Association Chairman, combined with the shares of Toyo Electric Power she holds, they can probably start figuring out how to completely devour Toyo Electric Power after this victory! This was the true purpose for him and Erina participating in this Kengan Annihilation Tournament.
Jaden, with this thought, walked toward the fighter tunnel, intending to leave the arena first. After all, there are still matters concerning Hayasaka Ai to deal with, Toyo Electric Power to deal with, the Shinomiya family to deal with... there are many things to do later. He has to maximize the gains from this victory.
Jaden was thinking this. He even wanted to ask Erina about her future plans.
But at that moment, he heard a large number of footsteps coming from both fighter tunnels.
And then...
From both tunnels, countless people wearing white clothes poured in, filling up most of the entire venue. They held various weapons and looked at Jaden with intense hostility.
Seeing this scene, the audience below the arena were stunned, and Sayaka Katahara was also at a loss.
And at that moment, Hayami Katsumasa walked up to Sayaka Katahara. A guard next to him snatched the microphone from Sayaka Katahara's hand, wiped it, and handed it to Hayami Katsumasa. Hayami Katsumasa then spoke.
"I didn't expect this situation to be so troublesome-I originally thought we could win, but Julius, I didn't expect you, you trash, to lose the most crucial match!"
If Julius had lost earlier, Hayami Katsumasa wouldn't be like this. After all, he would still have time to directly lead people to sneak attack the injured fighters-but this is the final. If he loses here and doesn't step up now, there will be no chance of a comeback.
So, he has no choice but to step forward.
"But never mind... Your loss surprised me, and the fact that the little girl from Totsuki dismantled the bomb I planted in the venue also surprised me... But I still have a trump card."
Saying this, Hayami Katsumasa looked up at where Metsudo Katahara was seated.
"You established the Katahara Guardian Corps, and naturally, I also established my own team, named the 'Guardians'-"
Saying this, Hayami Katsumasa finally turned to look at Jaden in the center of the arena, slowly narrowing his eyes.
"Jaden-we don't really have any direct deep animosity between us, do we? If you come over and pledge your allegiance to me now, I can still spare your life."
Hearing him say this, Jaden laughed, then openly showed a look of disdain on his face.
"Spare my life? With you and this trash you brought?"
Hayami Katsumasa heard Jaden say this. He didn't refute or get angry; he just continued speaking.
"Perhaps one-on-one, they are indeed trash to you-but they are armed with weapons, well-equipped, and... my Guardians number a full one thousand! Plus a thousand mercenaries..."
"Two thousand against one, Jaden, you should know what choice to make, shouldn't you?"
