Speed-o-Sound Sonic's figure flickered in and out of sight, throwing shurikens from impossible angles, but Allen consistently deflected them with his fingertips, elbows, or even the fluttering hem of his clothes, making them clatter to the ground.
Gouketsu stood frozen at the breach, unsure whether to advance or retreat.
Psykos observed through Gyoro Gyoro, her heart filled with anxiety.
She was both shocked by Allen's unfathomable strength and worried about the deviation from her plan.
"He's too reckless, but he's truly too strong," she murmured, her giant eyeball fixed on the battlefield.
Just then, a low-level Monster stumbled and crawled into the underground control room, his voice filled with terror: "Lord Gyoro Gyoro! This is bad! The two teams that attacked the Z-City power station and communication hub were ambushed! They suffered heavy losses! The Hero Association was prepared!"
Psykos's heart jolted, and she controlled Gyoro Gyoro to sharply ask, "What happened? Was our intel leaked?"
"I-I don't know! They seemed to have predicted all our routes of action! Almost all our forces were wiped out, except for the leading cadres! The Association's elite troops are converging on the stadium!"
Psykos felt a chill run down her spine; the plan was completely exposed. If Gouketsu and Allen were trapped here, once the main forces of the Association encircled them, the consequences would be unimaginable!
She had to notify Allen to retreat immediately!
Through Gyoro Gyoro, she saw Allen execute a series of fluid, continuous moves, forcing Bang, Garou, and Atomic Samurai back half a step simultaneously, his posture utterly composed.
"Allen, Gouketsu," Psykos controlled Gyoro Gyoro, compressing her voice into a line, trying to transmit it to the arena, "The plan is exposed! Association reinforcements are coming! Please retreat immediately!"
However, her voice seemed to be drowned out by the intense sounds of battle and the exclamations of the audience.
Allen's movements showed no pause; instead, in the brief moment he parried Flash's kick, his gaze seemed to casually sweep over Gyoro Gyoro's hidden location, and his fingertip twitched almost imperceptibly.
Tatsumaki, who was in fierce combat, keenly caught Allen's subtle glance and the direction of his movement.
Following his gaze, she immediately sensed the floating eyeball clone, hidden in the shadows, emitting a faint Monster energy!
"What is that?" Tatsumaki frowned, her Psychokinesis instantly condensing, reaching out to grab it from afar!
In the underground control room, Psykos gasped, and her connection with Gyoro Gyoro was instantly severed.
The last image transmitted was of a surging green Psychokinesis light, completely engulfing and crushing Gyoro Gyoro.
In the underground control room, Psykos sharply recoiled her consciousness from the connection, cold sweat beading on her forehead.
The impact of Gyoro Gyoro being instantly crushed by Tatsumaki still lingered in her cerebral cortex, causing a sharp, stinging pain.
"That damn midget!" She cursed, rubbing her temples, but more than anger, there was a sense of dread.
Tatsumaki's Psychokinesis precision and strength far exceeded her estimations.
Inside the stadium, Gouketsu's massive body shuddered. He no longer hesitated, taking a forceful step forward that cracked the ground.
"Allen!" Gouketsu roared, his voice cutting through some of the clamor, "The situation has changed! We must retreat!"
On the arena, Allen was using a subtle deflection technique to redirect Garou's fierce pounce, while simultaneously sidestepping Atomic Samurai's silent, broken-blade thrust.
Hearing Gouketsu's roar, his movements didn't falter. Instead, he used Atomic Samurai's forward momentum to give him a gentle push from behind, causing him to collide squarely with Garou, who couldn't stop in time.
"Did you hear that?" Bang said in a deep voice, his Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist stance perfectly maintained, but a sharp glint flashed in his aged eyes, "Your plan doesn't seem to be going well."
Allen parried a powerful swing from Metal Bat, using the force to leap backward, temporarily disengaging from the fight. His gaze swept over Gouketsu and the faint energy fluctuations and siren sounds coming from outside the stadium.
"It seems the warm-up is over," Allen said calmly, without a hint of regret or panic in his tone.
"Trying to escape?" Atomic Samurai stabilized himself, sneering as he flicked his broken blade.
"Not so easy!" Flash's figure once again turned into a streak of light, attempting to block Allen's retreat.
Tatsumaki floated in the air, green Psychokinesis surging and converging again, forming a giant invisible hand that reached for Allen: "Stay here!"
Amidst Tatsumaki's sharp cry, the green Psychokinesis pressed down like a towering tsunami.
The people in the audience held their breath in terror, and several S-Class Heroes also moved simultaneously, trying to seal off all of Allen's escape routes.
Allen, however, merely raised his eyes slightly.
Blue and red patterns beneath his skin instantly lit up, and an invisible pressure radiated outwards from him.
Tatsumaki's Psychokinesis giant palm abruptly halted several meters from him, as if hitting an invisible wall, rippling violently before shattering inch by inch!
"What?!" Tatsumaki's pupils constricted. She felt her Psychokinesis being forcibly crushed by a stronger, more primal power.
At the same time, Atomic Samurai's broken blade, Flash's kick, Metal Bat's swing, and even Garou's pouncing fist wind were all deflected and discharged by an invisible force field the moment they approached Allen, as if an absolute domain existed around him.
"I don't have time to play with you," Allen said indifferently.
He didn't even make any obvious movements, just slightly turned his body, his gaze sweeping across the entire arena.
Bang suddenly halted his attack, shock flashing in his aged eyes. He clearly felt that the aura emanating from Allen at this moment was completely different from when they sparred before; it was a deeper, more heart-stopping power.
Allen stopped, turned, and facing the world-destroying Psychokinesis torrent, slowly took a breath.
On the surface of his skin, blue and red patterns suddenly lit up, like lava and glaciers intertwined and flowing.
He didn't use any flashy techniques, just a simple, straightforward punch forward.
"Boom—!"
Where his fist passed, space seemed to collapse. Tatsumaki's full-power Psychokinesis torrent instantly disintegrated and vanished, like ice and snow meeting the scorching sun, without even a ripple.
The terrifying punch pressure continued unabated, grazing Tatsumaki's ear and striking the stadium's distant dome behind her.
There was no loud bang, no explosion.
That section of the dome silently turned to dust, as if erased by an eraser, revealing the clear blue sky outside.
The entire stadium fell into a deathly silence.
Everyone was utterly awestruck by this punch that defied comprehension. Even Tatsumaki froze in place, her green eyes wide, a nearly blank expression appearing on her face for the first time.
On the arena, Allen had vanished, leaving behind a stadium full of stunned heroes and spectators, as well as the hole Gouketsu had crashed through in his escape and the shocking, massive gap in the dome.
After leaving the stadium, Allen did not move at full speed, but rather traversed the chaotic streets of Z-City, which were in an uproar, with what seemed like an ordinary pace. Yet, with each step he took, he mysteriously covered dozens of meters, unnerving Gouketsu, who could barely keep up even while running at full speed.
Soon, they left the chaotic area and entered a deserted industrial zone.
Tall factory buildings cast shadows, and the surroundings were silent and empty.
Seeing that the place was quiet and deserted, a good hiding spot, Gouketsu finally relaxed slightly. He caught up with Allen and respectfully began, "Lord Allen, Lord Gyoro Gyoro he..."
"How about this place for your burial ground?"
His words abruptly stopped.
Because Allen, who was walking ahead, stopped without warning and slowly turned around.
In those scarlet eyes, there was no longer the calmness from the arena or the occasional hint of guidance, only cold, emotionless indifference.
