It had no fixed form.
It was more like a constantly shifting aggregate composed of starlight, shadow, and lines of law that transcended comprehension.
Sometimes it coalesced into a humanoid shape, and other times it diffused into a blur.
It merely "existed" there.
The surrounding universe dimmed slightly because of it, and physical laws seemed to wail.
Boros felt his surging energy in his Meteoric Burst state waver like a candle flame in the wind!
His single eye stared intently at that supreme Existence.
A shiver originating from primal instinct was even stronger than when he faced King!
What... is this?!
The moment that voice sounded, King's emperor engine spontaneously ramped up to its highest frequency!
Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump—!!!
This wasn't the excitement of facing a strong foe, but an extreme danger warning!
Even though he had already opened some of his limiters, he still felt uneasy!!
God... the most mysterious and powerful background entity in the one-punch man world.
In the original work, a mere glimpse of it granted the Homeless Emperor Dragon Peak power, and later it indirectly catalyzed the God-level "Cosmic Fear Garou."
It usually lurked on the Moon.
Now that Asmodeus had packaged up the Moon and taken it away, it was equivalent to stealing Its home.
No wonder It appeared in a rage.
"..."
This fight won't be easy!
It will be very difficult!
But King absolutely wouldn't let It kill Big Fool Paimon.
Moreover, Paimon was still holding Furina and Lumine!!
Saitama listened to God's question, scratched his head, and replied:
"You mean the Moon?"
"Oh, that glowing little girl turned it into a cube and put it away."
Saitama pointed at Asmodeus, completely unaware that he was "selling out" his temporary ally.
Its gaze turned toward Asmodeus.
"Ruler of the Sky clearance, a deity from another world?"
"A weak God."
"Stealing My 'courtyard' without permission."
"Do you wish to die?"
Asmodeus tightly gripped the crimson cube sealing the Moon in her palm, her ethereal face showing extreme solemnity!
She could sense the "level" of the Existence before her.
Compared to the "Outer God" about to invade Teyvat... It was likely only higher, not lower!!
At this moment, the opponent had clearly locked onto her, or rather, locked onto the "Moon" in her hand.
"I have great use for this object."
Asmodeus's voice remained calm, but she had already adopted a defensive stance.
Crimson cubes silently revolved around her body.
"It concerns the survival of a world; I cannot give it to you."
"Survival of a world?"
The nebula-like Existence let out a soft laugh, like the sigh of the universe, filled with indifference.
"What does that have to do with Me?"
"That is Mine. I placed it here, and it has been here for billions of years."
"Taking without asking is theft."
"Thief, return the object."
"And then, you may disappear."
As the words fell, without It making any visible movement, the space around Asmodeus instantly solidified!
It wasn't psychokinesis, nor energy suppression, but something far more fundamental—
Space itself was "nailed" down!
Asmodeus's expression changed slightly. She tried to mobilize her clearance, but found the connection between herself and the surrounding space had become unusually obscure and heavy!
Simultaneously, a gigantic palm, formed of starlight and shadow, large enough to encompass stars, appeared above Asmodeus's head, silently descending!
Before the palm even arrived, the terrifying implication that existence itself would be "erased" made Asmodeus feel a long-lost sense of fatal threat!
"Watch out!"
King's pupils contracted. Although he was furious at Asmodeus, Furina and Lumine were still in her hands!
Almost instinctively, he kicked off, generating a massive circular wave in the vacuum.
King moved like lightning, arriving after the giant palm started moving but reaching the spot first, instantly cutting in between Asmodeus and the gigantic palm!
"Get lost!"
King roared, his right fist clenched tight.
The force technique of the Explosive Heart Release Fist, mixed with the surging new power released after lifting 10% of his limiter.
He slammed his fist upwards without holding anything back!!
Where the fist passed, space shattered, and countless black cracks spread!
"BOOM————!!!"
