In the next moment, countless power templates simultaneously empowered him, merging perfectly within his body.
Ryomen Sukuna's Cursed Technique: Cleave, the supreme sword intent of a Great Swordsman, Kurosaki Ichigo's swordsmanship, Homelander's physique...
All ultimate forces were poured into this single strike!
This was the strongest blow he could unleash at this moment!
"Single Sword Style: Advanced Conqueror's Haki Infusion — Sever Heaven!"
A low voice emerged from the Sandstone Giant, followed by a heaven-shattering roar.
Boom!
The next instant, Big Mom's Ikoku Sovereignty and Ivan's Sever Heaven collided violently.
The two weapons did not truly touch; black and red Conqueror's Haki Lightning clashed madly at the center.
This was a battle between the strong, a battle of wills. Weapons could no longer play a significant role at this point!
Because the power of Conqueror's Haki was sufficient to transmit all destructive force!
The moment they collided, terrifying shockwaves rapidly spread in all directions, sweeping across several kilometers.
The calm sea was sliced into countless sections by the aftershocks; towering waves surged skyward only to be crushed into mist by the furious power.
The barren island beneath their feet began to fracture, centered on the two combatants. Massive rocks continuously plunged into the sea as the entire island slowly sank into the ocean depths.
The sky was split, clouds rolled back, heaven and earth changed color, sun and moon lost their light—as if the world itself were on the verge of shattering under this single move.
Dense smoke and raging lightning completely enveloped the entire battlefield. Sound was swallowed by the deafening roar, leaving only endless black and red lightning raging wildly.
Everyone watching from afar held their breath, hearts pounding wildly.
They awaited the outcome of this clash, wanting to know who had emerged victorious.
Just as the smoke raged, Katakuri, supported by his sister Brûlée, slowly regained consciousness from his coma.
His face remained pale, traces of blood still at the corner of his mouth, not fully recovered.
Yet the moment he lifted his gaze toward the distant, smoke-shrouded barren island, his ultimate future sight Observation Haki instantly activated.
Images of the future flashed in advance in his mind.
He learned the final result of this duel.
After seeing the vision, Katakuri's body relaxed abruptly, and he let out a long sigh of relief.
Good, the worst-case scenario hadn't occurred. Mom had ultimately gained the upper hand.
Before long, the smoke was dispersed by a fierce wind, revealing the full extent of the battlefield to all.
The watching Charlotte family members and the Six Underground Kings all held their breath, their eyes locked on the two figures at the island's center.
Fox still stood in place, but a terrifying, bone-deep wound had split open across his chest.
Blood continuously seeped from the injury, dripping down his body and splattering on the ground, creating splashes of blood.
Deep within the wound, even pulsating organs could faintly be seen.
Clearly, he had sustained extremely severe injuries!
In contrast, Big Mom's condition was far better.
Though she knelt on one knee, one hand driving her Emperor Sword: Napoleon firmly into the ground to support her heavy frame...
She too bore a deep slash wound, but while it looked gruesome, it hadn't touched any vital areas. Compared to Fox's miserable state, it was practically insignificant.
Victory and defeat were already clear. In this earth-shaking clash of moves, Big Mom held the absolute upper hand.
"Long live Mom! Mom is the strongest!Charlotte Daifuku was the first to cheer loudly. "As expected of our Mom, able to defeat even Shadow Garden's Fox. This is the power of a Four Emperor!"
Nearby, Charlotte Oven chimed in, his tone impassioned:
"Exactly! Mom is number one under heaven! No matter how strong that Fox is, he's no match for Mom. Elbaf Spear: Ikoku Sovereignty truly lives up to its name!"
Charlotte Pudding cupped her cheeks, eyes filled with adoration:
"Mom is the most amazing! No one can defeat Mom. Our Charlotte family will always be the strongest force in the New World!"
Charlotte Smoothie also shed her usual laziness, her tone carrying a hint of pride:
"As expected of Mom, suppressing the opponent with a single move. This is the emperor standing at the pinnacle of the seas!"
Hearing her children's cheers and praise, Big Mom slowly raised her head, wiped the blood from her mouth, and a triumphant smile spread across her face:
"Mamamama, this contest... Mom has won!"
Leaning on Emperor Sword: Napoleon, she gradually stood up. Though her body was weak, she still tried her best to maintain the violent Conqueror's Haki around her.
It was as if she were declaring to the world: even facing Shadow Garden's Fox, she, Charlotte Linlin, remained the undefeatable Four Emperor!
Propping herself up with Emperor Sword: Napoleon, she declared triumphantly:
"Fox, you are already very strong. Being able to withstand my Ikoku Sovereignty—few in the entire sea can accomplish that.
But you are ultimately too young. Compared to an old-school Four Emperor like me, you're still a significant step behind!"
Fox did not refute her, nor did he show the slightest resentment. He simply dispersed the damaged sandstone giant form, revealing his original appearance.
Raising a hand, he lightly wiped the blood from his mouth, his tone calm and unruffled:
"The name Big Mom truly lives up to its reputation. Elbaf Spear: Ikoku Sovereignty is worthy of the name."
As soon as his words fell, before the Charlotte family members could erupt in triumphant cheers, a sudden change occurred.
A faint white mist slowly rose from Fox's body surface.
Wrapped in this mist, the bone-deep wound on his body visibly healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. Within moments, only a faint red mark remained.
Simultaneously, the aura around Fox rapidly recovered, soon returning to its peak state.
Now, his Conqueror's Haki steadily suppressed the somewhat weak Big Mom.
Reverse Cursed Technique + Homelander's monstrous physique—such was the terror of this resilience!
This scene instantly froze all onlookers in place, even their breaths forgotten.
They never imagined Fox's recovery ability could be terrifying to this extent.
And the most shocked was undoubtedly Big Mom.
The triumphant smile on her face instantly froze, her eyes wide as she stared fixedly at Fox.
She could never have imagined Ivan's recovery ability could be so heaven-defying.
That previous strike had clearly inflicted heavy damage on him, yet in the blink of an eye, he was as good as new, his aura even stronger than before.
Suddenly, she suddenly realized.
On the surface, she had held the absolute upper hand in that last exchange, heavily wounding Fox.
But in reality, Ivan could instantly recover, his combat power barely decreased at all. Meanwhile, she herself had not only expended massive stamina but was also injured, her Conqueror's Haki greatly weakened.
If they truly continued to struggle, in the long run, she would inevitably fall into a disadvantage, perhaps even be counter-killed by Ivan.
This so-called victory was nothing but a self-deceiving illusion!
Superficially, she had won a move. But in truth, she had lost completely.
This point was very clear to everyone present.
The originally noisy crowd instantly plunged into deathly silence, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Everyone held their breath, eyes filled with disbelief, staring intently at Fox.
Such terrifying recovery ability—this was truly a monster among monsters!
