All the Supernovas held their breath, staring intently at the center of the explosion, trying to see the outcome.
They firmly believed that even if Uchiha Madara had blocked this attack, he would inevitably be severely injured!
At the same time, Kid threw his head back and laughed maniacally, his voice filled with wild joy.
He clearly sensed that his full-power Railgun had indeed struck Uchiha Madara.
Such a terrifying blow, no matter how formidable the opponent was, could not possibly leave him unscathed.
Even if a Navy Admiral took it head-on, they would surely be forced into a desperate defense.
In his mind, Uchiha Madara must now be grievously wounded, incapable of fighting back.
As the dust gradually settled, the Susanoo reappeared before everyone's eyes.
Yet the sight that met them instantly froze the expressions on their faces.
The giant titan still stood in place, its surface armor pristine and intact, without a single crack.
The terrifyingly powerful Railgun that had struck it earlier had failed to even breach its defense.
The Susanoo remained completely unharmed!
Seeing this, the manic laughter on Kid's face instantly stiffened and visibly faded away.
His pupils contracted violently, his gaze shifting from triumph to shock, and finally to disbelief.
At this moment, every muscle in his body trembled.
Because this feeling was too horrifying.
This wasn't just a simple failure; it was his all-out power being utterly insignificant in the other's eyes, not even enough to scratch an itch.
Absurd, and despairing.
The group of Supernovas watching from afar collectively fell silent.
Law stood with his hands in his pockets, eyes slightly narrowed, his mind already in turmoil.
He had seen countless powerful figures, witnessed Devil Fruit Awakenings, and observed clashes of top-tier Haki, but he had never encountered such an outrageous defense.
An attack powerful enough to instantly kill a Vice Admiral couldn't even break through the opponent's defense.
Apoo stared blankly at the giant, his throat bobbing, unable to utter a word for a long time.
He had originally thought Kid had a chance to turn the tables, but now he realized how laughable his earlier judgment had been.
Bonney's face turned deathly pale. She subconsciously took a step back, her lips trembling slightly.
She had always been unruly and defiant, but facing this demonic giant, she felt a sense of powerlessness and fear for the first time.
Simultaneously, a thought began to sprout and grow in her heart.
If it were him... if it were him, perhaps he could truly accomplish that thing!
Basil Hawkins's divination cards scattered on the ground, a rare look of shock on his face.
He silently recalculated the danger level in his mind, and the result was only one.
Unmatchable. Certain death!
Everyone was deeply shaken by this scene, leaving only one thought echoing in their hearts.
Uchiha Madara was simply not on the same level as them!
Kid finally snapped out of his extreme shock. Trembling all over, he pointed at the Susanoo, his voice filled with unwillingness:
"No... impossible! How could you be completely unharmed? How could you block my Railgun so easily?"
Ivan stood at the forehead position of the Susanoo, his voice from behind the mask indifferent and disdainful:
"Nothing is impossible. Your so-called Railgun is barely at an elementary level, not even worthy of being called a beginner's technique. Its power is mediocre, its execution crude. In my eyes, it's nothing more than that."
These words utterly shattered Kid's last shred of pride.
He couldn't believe that the power he had just comprehended, enough to overturn the seas, was dismissed as a trivial thing in the other's mouth.
Intense humiliation and fear intertwined, plunging him completely into madness.
He refused to accept, could not accept, that his all-out attack couldn't even breach the opponent's defense.
With a roar, Kid recklessly squeezed every ounce of potential from his body, pushing his Devil Fruit ability to its limit, even at the cost of draining his life force, determined to launch another attack.
"I don't believe it! I absolutely don't believe it!!"
He swung his arms violently. After an even longer charge time, he fired consecutive Railguns.
Blue electricity tore through the air. Three blinding white beams simultaneously locked onto Ivan's position and shot forth.
The first Railgun whistled towards him.
Ivan didn't even glance at it. The Susanoo didn't dodge, taking the hit squarely on its chest.
The white light crashed against the chest and instantly dissipated, unable to even make the giant sway.
The second shot followed closely, faster and more powerful.
The Susanoo gripped the great sword behind it, its wrist giving a light slash.
The sword light flashed, cleaving the white beam directly in two. The Railgun exploded and quickly vanished.
The third shot arrived right after, aimed straight at Ivan within the Susanoo's forehead.
This time, Ivan didn't even use the Susanoo's weapon.
The giant hand merely clenched slightly, actually catching the Railgun—powerful enough to split seas and shatter mountains—directly in its palm.
The white light struggled and erupted frantically within the grasp, like a trapped beast, only to be completely crushed the next second, not even a ripple of aftermath remaining.
Catching a Railgun bare-handed, extinguishing it casually!
This scene completely shattered the last shred of hope in Kid's heart.
He finally sobered up, finally acknowledged the fact he had been unwilling to admit.
The gap between him and Uchiha Madara was like that between a firefly and the sun and moon. It couldn't be bridged by new techniques.
To continue fighting meant only death.
After a mere moment of hesitation, Kid gritted his teeth and made a decision.
"Killer, let's go!"
Without further hesitation, he gathered magnetic force, lifting a large mass of metal fragments. Stepping onto it with Killer, he turned and fled frantically towards the sea.
He had completely given up the fight. Now, only one thought remained in his mind: escape, and survive.
Only by surviving was there a chance for a comeback.
But in his panicked flight, he still couldn't let go of his pride. Looking back, he hurled a threat at Ivan:
"Uchiha Madara, I will remember today's humiliation!
Now that I know a deeper way to develop magnetic power, I will definitely return!
When that time comes, I will utterly destroy the Shadow Garden and make you pay!"
Faced with Kid's threat, Ivan merely let out a contemptuous sneer:
"Arrogant fool. Have you still not realized? You have no future."
As his words fell, he did not give chase.
Instead, Ivan gently raised his hand. The Susanoo's giant palm slowly closed, clusters of pitch-black flames gathering and taking shape within it.
Amaterasu Black Flame instantly transformed into a fierce and solemn longbow.
The flaming bowstring drew back. A mass of black flame concentrated to its extreme gathered at the bow's tip, forming a lethal arrow that locked onto the fleeing figures of Kid and Killer in the distance.
The next moment, the black flame arrow left the string. Like a spear of death in the dark night, silent yet impossibly fast, it shot towards the two.
At this moment, Kid, fleeing ahead, thought he had narrowly escaped with his life, secretly feeling fortunate. He even couldn't resist looking back to taunt:
"Hmph, that fool didn't even give chase. Once I fully master the power of magnetism, I'll make him understand what it means to nurture a tiger that will turn on its master!!"
