Chapter 327: Chapter 28: Ultimate Form vs. Finishing Blow
The massive sphere of energy, blazing like a miniature sun, radiated blinding light and heat, dyeing the skies over City A a burning red. After swelling to its maximum size, it suddenly began to collapse inward, condensing into a pitch-black sphere only a few meters in diameter. Its density was staggering, causing the surrounding space to ripple violently.
And then—it exploded.
BOOM!
Tatsumaki had just flown into the air when the resulting shockwave slammed toward her.
Her face paled.
"Wha—"
Before she could finish her words, she and her psychic barrier were flung away like a ragdoll.
On top of the alien mothership, Genos had just climbed up when he too was caught in the blast. The force hurled him nearly a kilometer across the ship’s surface, his legs leaving two deep, flaming gouges in the metal.
When he finally came to a stop, Genos was a wreck. His body was in shambles, scorched and torn from the intense heat and pressure of the explosion alone.
High above, Ron had also been blasted skyward by the explosion’s impact. As he was about to be pushed into space, the power of his Tenseigan flared, allowing him to halt himself at the edge of the stratosphere.
Down below, Boros had been driven into the mothership like a nail. He smashed through countless chambers, punching clean through the vessel and emerging out the bottom.
In the stunned silence of the S-Class heroes—Bang, Atomic Samurai, and the rest—a beam of violet light burst out from beneath the ship, shooting straight down into the earth.
CRASH!
The ground split open, forming an abyssal crater.
A moment later—
The earth quaked.
All eyes locked on the crater as that violet beam burst skyward again, shooting straight into the sky.
"What terrifying pressure... Is that guy the true boss of this ship?"
Child Emperor gulped audibly, his face full of fear.
Bang stood frozen, speechless.
Even the usually cocky Metal Bat had a furrowed brow.
Atomic Samurai gripped his sword tightly, his expression grave.
"That thing... is it Dragon-level?"
"No... Dragon-level monsters don’t emit this kind of pressure. It feels like something from another dimension entirely..."
Sweat trickled down Flashy Flash’s forehead.
The moment that violet light appeared, the entire world seemed to stand still beneath its overwhelming presence. The sheer oppression was suffocating—enough to crush hope.
Flashy Flash had never felt such pressure from any enemy before.
Unbelievable.
Someone was actually fighting such a being.
High above, Ron floated at the sky’s edge, his body healing rapidly thanks to his Sage Physique.
Three seconds later, he was fully recovered.
A flash of light shone in Ron’s Tenseigan. In an instant, he vanished.
Tatsumaki regained her balance in the air. Thanks to her psychic barrier, she hadn’t taken much damage.
Whoosh!
A streak of violet light surged up from below.
Before she could react, it had already crossed hundreds of meters, flashing past her like a streak of lightning and continuing its ascent.
It looked like a single, unbroken violet thread piercing the sky.
"That guy... Is he the ship’s master?"
Tatsumaki clenched her fists, fury flashing in her eyes. "Ignoring me, huh? You’ve got some nerve!"
She extended a hand toward the violet streak, her green hair whipping wildly despite the still air—she was about to unleash her psychic power.
Then—
A new figure appeared above the violet streak. With a downward slash, a crimson sword light lit up the entire sky.
Tatsumaki froze in astonishment. Genos was just as shocked.
The violet beam was slammed downwards by a slash thousands of meters long and dozens wide.
Boros’s eyes narrowed as he was driven back hundreds of meters.
Then—with a grunt—he tore the slash in half with his bare hands and shattered it with a single punch.
"Incredible..." Genos muttered.
Whether it was Ron who unleashed that slash or Boros who destroyed it, both were far beyond anything he could currently reach.
Tatsumaki looked up.
A young man stood atop the sky, holding a glowing crimson blade.
His black hair billowed in the wind, his body shrouded in dark Haki and crimson aura. His glowing blue Tenseigan eyes stared down with overwhelming dominance. He radiated an oppressive force that made hearts tremble.
"A few gifts for you."
Ron looked down at Boros, his Tenseigan flaring as gravity surged from his body.
A rumbling echoed from above.
Tatsumaki and Genos widened their eyes as three meteors appeared behind Ron, one after another.
Boros narrowed his eyes.
"You think something like that can defeat me?!"
He shot into the air.
With a single punch, he shattered the first meteor. Then he transformed into a streak of violet light, weaving through the second and third.
The three meteors exploded behind him, their fragments raining down like a meteor shower.
Tatsumaki easily dodged in the sky, but Genos could only blast apart the falling debris as best he could.
Fortunately, City A was already in ruins. Otherwise, this alone could have wiped out 80% of it. Luckily, most of the meteor fragments landed on the alien mothership rather than the city ruins below.
After smashing the meteors, Boros continued toward Ron, moving so fast he reappeared instantly in front of him. A fierce spinning kick flew at Ron’s neck.
Ron flash-stepped to evade, but Boros was already there again.
Fist and blade clashed.
The two were knocked back several hundred meters.
The next second, they collided again.
Boros threw punch after punch. Ron parried with his blade.
A violet and a black streak clashed in mid-air, crashing together like dragons. Shockwaves rippled through the sky, shattering space like glass.
Tatsumaki kept retreating, unable to interfere despite being the second-ranked S-Class hero.
Genos was already dumbfounded.
"Die!"
"Vanish."
They exchanged another strike—fist versus foot—and once again, one soared up, one dived down.
Then—
Ron hurled a Truth-Seeking Orb.
Boros retaliated with a blast from the eye on his chest.
"No!"
Tatsumaki instantly sensed danger and retreated.
Genos, however, was too late.
As the two devastating energies collided, a brilliant storm of color erupted from the void, swallowing everything in its path.
Suddenly, a figure appeared beside Genos.
"Genos?"
Genos blinked.
"Master?!"
Clad in a yellow hero suit and a white cape, the bald man scratched his shiny head and looked at Genos with confusion.
"What’re you doing here? Watching the show?"
Genos scrambled to respond, "No, I—!"
The explosion roared.
A rainbow-colored shockwave surged toward them, destroying everything in its path.
Saitama glanced at the chaos and commented, "Man, these guys are going all out."
Then he casually grabbed Genos and hurled him to safety.
Genos, soaring through the air, stared back wide-eyed.
"Master!!"
Saitama smiled at him. A moment later, he vanished into the swirling storm.
Below, Boros crashed into the mothership again, sending it listing dangerously.
Ron was once more blasted upward.
"Now this is a real battle!"
Boros laughed maniacally. "Let’s end this, human!"
He unleashed all his energy, burning furiously.
Meteoric Burst Form—activated!
With a powerful stomp, the entire mothership shook.
He became a streak of violet, blasting skyward.
At the top of the sky—
Ron exhaled slowly and opened his glowing blue Tenseigan eyes.
Within his vision, the violet light of Boros approached like a cataclysm. This was stronger than any of his previous attacks—his ultimate form, powered by burning life force.
So, he’s finally going all out.
Ron’s eyes steeled with resolve.
"Then I’ll answer with my strongest move as well."
Golden lightning crackled around his right leg.
Three types of Haki, the full might of his bloodline aura, surged to his right—
