In the sky, the battle between Boros and Allen grew increasingly fierce.
Allen had completely abandoned his human form, his body constantly twisting and deforming, at times expanding like a mountain, at others shrinking and splitting into countless smaller entities.
His attacks were chaotic yet each was lethal, relying entirely on instinct to tangle with Boros.
"Boom!"
Boros sent Allen flying hundreds of meters with a powerful punch, but the latter adjusted his posture in mid-air, his back tentacles whipping like lashes towards Boros.
The tip of one tentacle suddenly split open, revealing menacing fangs, and bit down hard on Boros's shoulder.
"A beautiful move.
You are indeed very strong, to be able to contend with me after my power release to this extent.
This is the first time I, Boros, have encountered an evenly matched opponent." He grabbed the tentacle and yanked it hard, tearing it off.
What gushed from the severed end was not blood, but a viscous, dark-red energy fluid.
"Roar—!!!" Allen let out an inhuman shriek, and the severed tentacle instantly regenerated.
He lunged at Boros like a cannonball, his scythe-like arms crossing down, which Boros blocked with crossed arms.
"Bang!"
The scythes collided with his arms, creating a dull thud, and a dazzling light erupted at the point of impact.
Allen's attack was blocked, but five tentacles from his back suddenly elongated, stabbing at Boros from different angles.
Boros dodged two of them, but the remaining three pierced deep into his body.
"Now that's more like it!" The fighting spirit in Boros's eye intensified.
He abruptly grabbed the tentacles embedded in his body, energy condensing in his palms, and burned them off.
Allen shrieked in pain and retreated, and Boros seized the opportunity, landing a heavy uppercut on his chin.
"Bang!"
Allen was sent flying high by the punch, and large cracks appeared on the surface of his armor, but he quickly stabilized himself.
More dark-red energy seeped from the armor's crevices, and his injuries healed at a visible rate.
On the ground, Tornado's green curly hair fluttered violently.
She stared intently at the battle in the sky, her hands unconsciously clenching and unclenching.
"Tornado…" Bang walked up to her, his voice low.
"Now is not the time for infighting."
"Shut up!" Tornado spun her head sharply, her green eyes flashing with anger and pain.
"What do you know?!
He lied to me for so long!"
Bang sighed: "But he is protecting this city now."
Tornado's voice was almost squeezed through her teeth: "He attacked us! He attacked the Hero Association!"
Metal Bat walked over, carrying his bat: "Hey, shorty, even though the Rookie… no, that guy lied to us, he's currently dealing with that alien monster.
Besides him, who among the S-class here can stop that alien monster?"
"Who asked you to meddle!" Tornado glared at him fiercely, green energy surging around her.
"I'm going to throw him down from the sky ten thousand times!"
Genos activated his thrusters and flew over: "Tornado Senior! We should deal with the alien invaders first!
Allen Senior…"
He paused, "Although his identity is problematic, he is indeed protecting the city."
"Shut up!" Tornado's Psychokinesis erupted, pushing Genos back.
"I'm going to teach that liar a lesson first!"
Saitama scratched his bald head, looking at the chaotic scene: "Ah… what should I do now… I guess I'll continue to move the injured."
He turned and left, continuing to help the injured citizens of City A evacuate the scene.
Just then, one of the three executives, Geryuganshoop, an octopus-like, entirely blue alien monster, slowly appeared and attacked Tornado and the others.
He and Melzargard would not allow anyone to disturb their leader's battle.
Metal Bat shouted: "Looks like the halftime break is over."
"Hmph!" Atomic Samurai drew his katana.
"Let's deal with these monsters first!"
The heroes had no choice but to temporarily set aside their shock at Allen's strength and their anger at his concealed identity, turning instead to face the immediate crisis.
Tornado gritted her teeth, a flicker of struggle in her green eyes, and ultimately turned to join the battle against Melzargard.
"Once these guys are dealt with…" She glared fiercely at Allen, who was fighting intensely in the sky.
"I'll make sure you regret it."
In the sky, the battle between Allen and Boros had entered a white-hot phase.
Allen, in his fully unleashed Asura Mode, had completely lost his sanity.
His body continuously twisted and deformed, and the dark-red Psychokinesis oozing from the armor's crevices writhed like living things, leaving corrosive traces in the air.
"Now I will release the immense energy within me; anyone who touches it will be reduced to ashes." A dazzling pillar of energy erupted from Boros, and a terrifying aura pierced the clouds.
The energy patterns on his blue skin glowed blindingly, and his single eye gleamed with destructive light.
A blue torrent of energy, dozens of meters in diameter, surged from Boros's chest, ionizing the air and distorting space in its path.
The flesh on Allen's body was stripped away by the energy torrent, only to regenerate instantly.
His entire skin took on an eerie dark-red hue, his muscle fibers writhed and reorganized like living things, and his bones emitted a grating, teeth-aching creak.
"Roar—!" Allen threw his head back and let out an inhuman roar.
His pupils were completely consumed by blood-red, and his mouth split into an exaggerated arc, revealing stark white fangs.
On the ground, Saitama, who was evacuating citizens, suddenly stopped and looked up at the sky: "Ah, Allen-kun seems to be having a lot of fun."
"Teacher!" Genos called out anxiously.
"Allen Senior's state is very wrong!"
"It's fine, it's fine." Saitama scratched his bald head.
"He's very strong."
"This move worked; it seems you've revealed your true self." Boros slowly walked up to Allen.
"It seems the outcome will soon be revealed."
"My species won the struggle for survival in the harsh environment of our home planet.
We possess some of the best natural healing abilities in the entire universe, especially me." Boros felt the situation was settled and began to ramble.
"I am also among the best in healing, physical strength, and potential.
Fatal wounds you inflict can heal in a few seconds, and a severed arm can be restored to its original state if I concentrate my energy and instantly boost my healing ability."
"But your sanity has dissipated, and your stamina is gradually decreasing.
How much longer can you last?"
On the other side, Tornado's Psychokinesis had just crushed one of Melzargard's clones.
She spun around abruptly, her green curly hair fluttering violently: "What is that idiot doing?"
Metal Bat swatted away an attacking alien minion with his bat: "Whoa, whoa, is the Rookie turning into a Super Saiyan?"
"Hmm!" Watchdog Man pricked up his ears vigilantly.
Bang stroked his beard, his brow furrowed: "How many secrets does this child, Allen, still hide?"
Allen, completely demonized, was on all fours like a beast poised to strike.
His armor fell away from his body, his short black hair transformed into long white hair, his fingernails elongated and turned crimson, becoming sharp claws, and his spinal column protruded from his back, forming a row of grotesque bone spikes.
