Meanwhile, inside the spaceship.
Allen stood before the energy core, the surface of his armor glowing with a dark red light.
He took a deep breath, his right fist gathering power, and energy surged wildly from the seams of his armor.
"I must completely destroy this core…" he muttered to himself.
"Otherwise, the energy cannon will recharge again."
Just as he was about to strike, a suffocating sense of oppression suddenly came from behind him.
Allen spun around abruptly, his pupils under the armor contracting sharply.
On the throne in the cabin, a tall figure slowly rose.
The one-eyed alien, clad in spiky heavy armor, exuded a terrifying pressure, and energy patterns flickered on his blue skin.
"I've finally met you.
I can feel immense energy from you."
"Are you the representative of this planet? That's fantastic." His voice was deep and full of power.
"To break through Gloribas's defenses, you are worthy of me personally making a move."
Allen did not reply, his muscles under the armor instantly tensing.
He could feel the terrifying energy contained within the opponent's body; it was a power far exceeding Melzargard and Gloribas.
"Before we begin, state your name."
"I am Boros, the leader of the Dark Matter, the Dark Thieves, and the overlord of the entire universe."
Allen slowly adopted a fighting stance, dark red energy seeping from the seams of his armor: "Allen, a hero."
"Allen," Boros murmured, a slight smile playing on his lips.
"Years ago, I conquered space, but I was too strong, and eventually no one dared to challenge me.
I suffered greatly from boredom.
Then a certain fortuneteller said that on a distant planet, there was someone who could fight me and satisfy me." Boros slowly descended the steps and came before Allen.
"Twenty years have passed, and after such a long time, I have arrived here.
Although my subordinates all thought that the prophecy was just an excuse to avoid war, I am now convinced that the prophecy is true.
Give my life some excitement; this is my purpose."
Allen took a deep breath, his muscles under the armor tensed to their limit.
The oppressive aura emanating from Boros was almost palpable, making every cell in his body tremble.
This was not fear, but the instinctive excitement of facing a formidable enemy.
"Come," Allen's voice came through the armor, low and firm.
A flicker of excitement flashed in Boros's single eye: "Very good, Allen, let us fight to our heart's content!"
Before his words finished, Boros's figure instantly vanished.
Allen's pupils contracted sharply, and he instinctively raised his arms to block.
"Bang!"
With a loud crash, Allen was sent flying, slamming heavily into the cabin wall, leaving a large dent in the metal.
"So fast…" Allen struggled free from the dent, and strange red patterns appeared on the surface of his armor.
Asura Mode instantly activated.
Boros did not pursue but stood still, his single eye gleaming with combat intent: "The warm-up is over.
Let us begin the real fight."
Allen took a deep breath, his armor operating at full power, and he charged towards Boros like a cannonball.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Their figures rapidly intertwined within the cabin, each collision generating small shockwaves, and the metal floor constantly twisted and deformed under the terrifying force.
Boros's heavy punches rained down, and Allen used the Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist's softness to neutralize most of the force while looking for opportunities to counterattack.
"Bang!"
A precise elbow strike landed on Boros's ribs, but the opponent remained motionless, instead grinning: "Good power, but not enough!"
Boros's fist suddenly accelerated.
Allen had no time to dodge and took a solid punch to the chest.
"Bang!"
"Your power is also good, but not enough." Significant cracks appeared on the surface of Allen's armor, but he did not retreat.
Instead, he used the impact to retreat a few steps, his right fist gathering power.
"Exploding Heart Release Fist!"
"Boom——!"
A terrifying punch slammed into Boros's chest, causing the energy core chamber to vibrate violently.
Boros was repelled for the first time, and tiny cracks appeared on his blue skin.
"Interesting!" Boros's single eye lit up with excitement, "It seems I need to get serious too."
The energy patterns on his body suddenly flared brightly, and a terrifying aura swept through the entire cabin.
Boros's mouth curved into a sinister smile, the spikes on his heavy armor glinting with cold light.
He slowly raised his right hand, energy condensing in his palm: "Let me see your strength."
A purple energy wave instantly shot out.
Allen dodged sideways, the energy wave grazing his armor and blasting a huge hole in the metal wall.
Allen did not pause, using the momentum of his dodge to charge fiercely towards Boros, his right fist gathering power, and dark red energy surging wildly from the seams of his armor.
"Bang!"
His fist collided with Boros's palm, erupting in a deafening crash.
Shockwaves spread out from the two of them, knocking over all the surrounding instruments and equipment.
Allen was forced back several steps by the Recoil force, while Boros merely swayed slightly.
"Not bad, I'm starting to like you more and more." Boros nodded approvingly, then his figure flickered, instantly appearing before Allen, his right fist, accompanied by a sonic boom, slammed towards Allen's face.
Allen crossed his arms to block, and the entire person was sent flying backward by the punch, crashing heavily into the cabin wall.
The metal wall dented and deformed.
Allen coughed up a mouthful of blood, but the injuries under his armor healed instantly.
"Regenerative ability?" A hint of surprise flashed in Boros's eyes, "Interesting."
Allen did not reply, strange red patterns appearing on the surface of his armor, going all out.
He stomped heavily, shattering the ground, and charged towards Boros like a cannonball, his fists and feet raining down.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Dense impact sounds echoed in the cabin.
Boros initially handled it with ease, but as Allen's offensive grew fiercer, he too had to get serious.
The two moved at high speed within the cabin, each collision generating small shockwaves, and the metal floor constantly cracked and dented.
Allen's battle with Boros moved from inside the spaceship to the outside.
The two fiercely clashed above City A, each collision causing deafening sonic booms, and the shockwaves dispersed the surrounding clouds.
On the ground, the heroes evacuating civilians and Boros's subordinates all stopped their actions in unison, looking up at the sky.
"Is that Senior Allen? What is that armor he's wearing?" Genos's mechanical eyes continuously adjusted focus, watching the figure battling Boros in the sky with disbelief.
Tatsumaki's green curly hair whipped wildly.
She stared intently at the sky, her hands unconsciously clenching: "Isn't that Ashura's armor…?"
