Many weaker Heroes and Monster immediately clutched their heads and screamed in agony, blood oozing from their ears and noses.
Even S-Class Heroes like Bang and Atomic Samurai felt a strong wave of dizziness and nausea.
"Are they fighting for control of space?" Drive Knight analyzed the incomprehensible phenomenon, his electronic voice trembling noticeably.
The dark red veins on the Monster's arm grew brighter and brighter, and it actually advanced step by step. Where it passed, the shattered space was forcibly mended, covered and replaced by a new, cold 'rule'.
Gods Avatar's withered arm trembled slightly, as if it hadn't expected the opponent to resolve its attack in such a way.
It changed its method again, its withered fingers tapping lightly in the air as if playing an instrument.
In an instant, countless pale chains made of pure energy emerged around the Monster. These chains seemed to be twisted from countless tormented souls, emitting mournful wails, and wrapped around the Monster from all directions, attempting to bind its movements and directly attack its spiritual essence.
The crimson slits on the Monster's bone-white mask flickered slightly.
It didn't even make any obvious defensive movements. The pale chains, imbued with mental attacks, rapidly melted and evaporated like ice meeting a hot iron when they touched the obsidian-like cuticle on its body, and even the mournful wails ceased abruptly.
It seemed to possess absolute immunity to such powers that directly attacked the spiritual plane.
At the same time, it casually waved its other hand, and five long, narrow, dark red claw marks, as if capable of cutting space, appeared out of thin air, precisely severing the remaining energy chains and striking towards Gods Avatar on the moon with undiminished force!
Gods Avatar raised its other arm, and a distorted, prism-like barrier appeared in front of its withered palm.
The dark red claw marks struck the barrier, erupting in dazzling light, and an energy shockwave once again swept across the entire battlefield, causing everyone to almost lose their footing.
This clash was clearly more intense than before!
"It seems like it can fight Gods Avatar to a standstill?" Metal Bat muttered in disbelief, propping himself up with his broken bat.
Tanktop Master said in a deep voice, "And it looks like it's handling it more easily than Allen did earlier?" His mood was incredibly complex as he said this.
Genos's mechanical eyes furiously recorded data: "Energy clash index far exceeds all previous records! The principle of its energy conversion is incomprehensible!"
Saitama watched the confrontation in the sky, stroking his chin, his eyes serious: "How did he become like this? But he's gotten stronger."
On the moon, Gods Avatar seemed to be thoroughly enraged.
Its previously still figure showed its first significant movement; it took a slight step forward, and although it still stood on the moon's surface, the entire Earth seemed to tremble because of it.
It brought its hands together, forming an embracing gesture.
The gravity of the entire battlefield instantly became abnormal!
Everyone felt their bodies sink, as if pressed down by an invisible mountain. Several more heavily injured Heroes were even directly pressed to the ground, unable to move.
Even Tatsumaki grunted, her Telekinesis being forcibly pushed back into her body.
And at the Monster's location, gravity was twisted to the extreme. Space began to collapse inward under the terrifying pressure, forming a miniature, black hole-like singularity, intending to completely crush and devour the Monster!
The Monster finally made a larger movement.
Its armored legs spread slightly, firmly planting into the earth, and the ground beneath its feet instantly cracked into a giant spiderweb pattern, but its figure remained unmoving.
It raised its head, its bone-white mask facing the twisted gravitational singularity, and the two crimson slits suddenly lit up!
It did not attempt to resist the twisted gravity, but instead opened its mouthless face. A slit suddenly opened there, revealing not flesh and blood, but a darkness as profound as the cosmic starry sky within!
An indescribable suction burst from its mouth!
The gravitational singularity that was originally meant to crush it, along with the surrounding twisted space and light, was forcibly sucked and devoured by it!
Like a whale drinking water, the entire process was silent and eerie.
In just a few seconds, the terrifying gravitational field and miniature singularity vanished without a trace, as if they had never existed.
The slit on the Monster's face closed, restoring the smooth bone-white mask, with only the two crimson slits flickering slightly, as if digesting the energy.
The entire scene was dead silent.
Swallowing gravity? Devouring space?
This had completely exceeded everyone's scope of understanding.
Gods Avatar's embracing hands froze in place. It also seemed to be in a temporary state of stagnation, clearly unable to comprehend the opponent's incredible way of responding.
After devouring the gravitational singularity, the dark red energy veins on the Monster's body seemed to become even brighter. It slowly turned its head, its cold crimson gaze once again locking onto Gods Avatar.
Then, for the first time, it initiated an attack.
It didn't move, but simply extended a finger towards the moon—that finger covered with obsidian-like cuticle, with a sharp, scythe-like tip.
At the fingertip, a point of ultimate darkness began to condense.
That darkness was not emptiness, but an existence condensed to its extreme, a cold, dead, rule-based manifestation containing absolute destructive power.
With the appearance of that point of darkness, the surrounding light began to twist and be sucked into it, and even sound seemed to be swallowed, plunging the battlefield into an eerie silence.
Gods Avatar seemed to feel a great threat. Its withered body adopted a defensive posture for the first time, crossing its arms in front of it, and layers of twisted barriers, like countless overlapping spatial faults, instantly formed in front of it.
At the Monster's fingertip, the point of ultimate darkness finally finished condensing.
Then, it gently pointed forward.
There was no sound, no light explosion.
Only a faint, almost invisible black thread shot out from its fingertip, instantly crossing the vast distance between Earth and the moon, silently striking the layers of spatial barriers set up by Gods Avatar.
Hiss—!
An extremely subtle sound, yet one that could freeze the soul, rang out.
The black thread seemed to pass through layer after layer of spatial barriers without any obstruction, like a red-hot iron piercing through snow.
Gods Avatar's defenses appeared so fragile and ridiculous in front of that black thread.
The black thread finally penetrated the last barrier, hitting Gods Avatar's withered arm, which was crossed in front of its body.
Time seemed to stand still for a second.
Then—
Gods Avatar's arm, struck by the black thread, instantly turned into absolute nothingness from the point of contact, and this nothingness spread rapidly upwards like a virus!
It wasn't shattering, it wasn't annihilation, but complete 'erasure'!
Just like how it erased Allen earlier!
Gods Avatar violently recoiled, seemingly letting out a silent roar of shock and fury. It made an immediate decision, bringing its other hand together like a blade and fiercely severing the arm that was being 'erased'!
The severed arm completely turned into nothingness the moment it detached from the main body, disappearing.
And at Gods Avatar's broken shoulder, the withered cut surface was smooth as a mirror, with no energy or substance oozing out, as if it had always been that way.
It had lost an arm!
Throughout the battlefield, whether Heroes or Monster, everyone was dumbfounded, their minds blank.
