While Bayonetta and Diana's battle tore through the atmosphere, the ground battlefield was already engulfed in yellow light.
The sky was covered by an energy matrix constructed by over twenty Yellow Lantern Corps warriors, with Hal Jordan suspended in the center of the corps, his ring erupting with a blinding, supernova-like glare.
"Materialize the Star Destroyer Cannon Array!" Hal's roar echoed through the energy network, and twenty-four colossal energy cannons formed in the sky above Titan, their charging hum shattering the air within a ten-mile radius.
"Heh, this time, don't try to snatch it from me!" Saitama's bald head reflected the light as he slightly bent his knees—the bedrock beneath him instantly collapsed into a fifty-meter-diameter circular crater, and his figure transformed into lightning, striking directly at the cannon array.
"Normal Consecutive Punches."
The force of his punches unleashed a storm, and twelve energy cannons exploded in succession along his punching trajectory.
The Impact tore through the shields of three Yellow Lantern Corps warriors, their bodies instantly shattered in the sky.
Saitama passed through the explosion's debris, tearing apart two energy-materialized Titan mechs with his bare hands, energy light points raining down like meteor showers onto Titan's surface.
"Saitama, you're cheating!"
Kiana pouted, instantly flying into the air, her golden pupils reflecting distorted spatial ripples.
She lightly clenched her right hand, and the space within three kilometers suddenly collapsed into a singularity, five Yellow Lantern Corps warriors compressed into quantum particles.
A Void Lance shot out from a dimensional rift, piercing through seven layers of energy shields and pinning another three Yellow Lantern Corps warriors into the earth's crust.
"I'm still the best~" Kiana proudly put her hands on her hips.
Just as Kiana stood with her hands on her hips, feeling smug, the sky suddenly darkened.
A hundred-meter-large yellow energy hammer tore through the clouds, descending with destructive force towards her head.
Kiana's White hair whipped wildly in the air pressure, and she tilted her head slightly, the shadow of the heavy hammer already engulfing her entire body.
"Dimension Slash."
A clear, cold voice cut through the clamor, and a blue sword light, like lightning, pierced through the heavy hammer.
The colossal hammer, capable of pulverizing mountains, instantly disintegrated into countless light particles, and Vergil's figure emerged in the rain of light, his Yamato still in the trajectory of a slash.
He lightly landed on a floating rock beside Kiana, his trench coat swaying in the wind.
"Don't get distracted." He didn't even spare the girl a glance.
"I already knew that!" Kiana puffed out her cheeks, but the Void Lance condensing at her fingertips quietly dissipated.
Both their gazes simultaneously locked onto Hal Jordan in the high sky.
The Yellow Lantern Corps' ring was emitting dangerous light, clearly brewing the next round of attack.
Kiana excitedly rubbed her hands together, but before she could leap, Vergil had already transformed into a blue afterimage and charged out.
"Uncle Vergil! You're cheating too!" The girl's protest was drowned out by explosions.
Hal's pupils constricted, and he frantically materialized multiple energy shields, but he saw Vergil suddenly disappear mid-charge.
The next second, a cold blade-back lightly tapped his nape.
"Too slow." The Demon Transformation's eldest son's whisper came from all directions.
Hal sharply turned, his energy cannon sweeping the fan-shaped area behind him—but it only hit the Shadow Vergil left behind.
"Up there!" Just as a Yellow Lantern Corps warrior issued a warning, dozens of blue sword energies descended on Hal's head.
His hastily constructed defensive matrix was torn apart like paper, and Vergil's Shadow flickered in and out of existence amidst the shattered energy fragments, each flash leaving a shallow but distinct wound on Hal.
"Bastard!" Hal materialized a 360-degree encircling energy blade storm, and the entire airspace was instantly filled with golden sharp blades.
Vergil, however, danced upon the spinning blades, his Yamato precisely destroying the nodes of the energy structure with each light touch.
When the storm subsided, people saw him sitting on an energy cannon platform materialized by a Yellow Lantern Corps warrior, propping his chin with one hand.
"Is that all you've got?" Vergil used the tip of his blade to lift Hal's chin, an act of humiliation that utterly enraged the Yellow Lantern Corps.
His ring erupted with an unprecedented strong light, and countless metals were extracted from the ruins of Titan, condensing into a ten-thousand-meter-long interstellar battleship in the sky.
Vergil finally revealed his first smile of the night.
He elegantly leaped backward, his Yamato spinning three times in his palm before suddenly coming to a halt.
When the battleship's main cannon charge reached its critical point, he lightly swung his blade, and countless blade lights streaked across the battleship, across the air, and across the nodes between Hal's ring and the energy construct.
"What?!" Hal watched the battleship collapse like a sandcastle, a metallic torrent forming a spectacular waterfall behind Vergil.
The Demon Transformation's eldest son approached step by step, treading on the falling metal blocks, until only three meters separated the two.
Vergil's voice rang out again: "Is that it? If so, your power is too weak."
Hal's pupils violently constricted, the Yellow Lantern Corps ring's light as blinding as a supernova explosion.
His entire right arm was enveloped in violent energy, veins wriggling like earthworms beneath his skin.
"You don't understand the power of fear!" he roared, the energy torrent spewing from his ring instantly engulfing half the sky, even tearing up several kilometers of Titan's surface.
Vergil's trench coat flapped wildly in the energy storm; he hadn't even changed his sword-holding posture.
When the destructive light wave was only three meters away from him, the Yamato finally unsheathed—not a slash, but a horizontal cut.
"Dimension Slash: Extreme."
Along the trajectory of the blade, space appeared with clear cracks like glass.
Hal's energy wave, upon contact with the cracks, was neatly split in half, like a dissected torrent of light.
This spatial crack flowed upstream along the energy wave, instantly spreading to the Yellow Lantern Corps ring itself.
"No… this is impossible…" Hal looked at the cracks that suddenly appeared on his ring; he tried to pull his arm back but found his entire right arm fixed by some spatial power.
As the metallic friction sound of Vergil sheathing his sword rang out, Hal's ring suddenly exploded into countless fragments.
Those fragments decomposed into basic energy particles in the air, like a golden snow.
Hal, having lost his ring, fell from high in the sky; Vergil merely watched indifferently until Kiana caught the falling Yellow Lantern Corps with a Void Lance.
"Uncle Vergil!" Kiana glared at him angrily, "Why did you also steal my opponent?"
Vergil's Shadow disappeared and reappeared beside Chen Tian, leaving only a single sentence in Kiana's ear: "The weak are not worthy of being called opponents."
"Argh!!! I'm so mad!!!"
Kiana's scream shook the floating debris in the air, causing it to fall.
She spun around abruptly, her light wings erupting with dazzling streams of light from her back, Void Lances condensing into a circular sword array around her—only to find that the Yellow Lantern Corps matrix above her head had long since shattered, with only five incomplete Yellow Lantern Corps warriors left, scurrying away with their heads in their hands, pursued by Saitama's punches.
"Boom boom boom!"
Three unremarkable straight punches created a vacuum vortex, and the shields of the last two Yellow Lantern Corps warriors burst like soap bubbles.
One of them frantically materialized an escape pod, but the residual force of the punches sent him tumbling dozens of times in the air, crashing heavily into the spatial rift Vergil had previously cut.
"Sai! Ta! Ma!"
The spatial tremor caused by Kiana stomping her foot directly vibrated the last Yellow Lantern Corps warrior into pixel blocks.
The girl angrily flashed in front of the bald man, her Void Lance practically poking his nose: "Didn't we agree to leave two for me?!"
Saitama maintained his post-punching stance, blinking a beat late: "But… they just happened to be in my punch path…"
The hem of his cape still had half a Yellow Lantern Corps materialized toilet seat stuck to it—evidently a ridiculous weapon created by a warrior in a panic.
A sudden explosion interrupted the standoff.
A forgotten Yellow Lantern Corps warrior trembled as he rose from the ruins a thousand meters away, his body wrapped in unstable energy.
Kiana's golden pupils instantly brightened like searchlights: "This one's mine!!!"
A biting cold light flashed.
The Yamato precisely pierced the unfortunate fellow's ring, and Vergil's Shadow slowly emerged at the hilt of the blade: "Distraction during combat is foolish."
Kiana's Void Lance was crushed into light particles with a 'crunch'.
A cross-shaped vein popped out on the girl's fair forehead, and her White hair stood on end: "You old men—!" The entire atmosphere of Titan suddenly developed spiderweb-like cracks.
"Hey, hey, the ceiling's about to collapse…" Chen Tian's helpless voice came, "Kiana, hold back a little, we're still here."
The girl landed angrily, her boot heel grinding the half of the ring Vergil had cut off into golden dust.
"Commander—!" The spatial ripples from Kiana's flash hadn't dissipated when she already hung onto Chen Tian's arm like a koala.
The girl buried her face in his shoulder, a few stray hairs popping up among her silver strands: "They stole my kills! For three whole rounds!"
Chen Tian stumbled, and the sound of fabric tearing came from his cuff.
He sighed, his palm just touching the girl's head when Kiana suddenly smiled slyly, tightening her grip on his arm by three points.
Chen Tian flicked the girl's smooth forehead and looked up at the shattered sky: "Look up."
The moment Kiana rubbed her forehead and turned around, Titan's remaining atmosphere suddenly boiled.
Hundreds of yellow lights pierced through the clouds, pouring down like an inverted river of stars.
Sinestro floated at the forefront of the corps, slowly raising his right fist, the resonance of over four hundred rings causing the entire Planet's gravitational field to distort.
"Hal Jordan." Sinestro's voice, amplified by the energy field, vibrated the ground, causing debris to float, "You truly disgrace the corps."
The former Lantern Corps, pinned to the rock wall by a Void Lance, struggled to look up, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth: "Sinestro… you won't understand… these monsters…"
The Yellow Lantern Corps leader sneered and waved his hand, and three warriors immediately dragged Hal into the military formation with energy chains.
Sinestro's ring spewed materialized fear energy, condensing into a sky-obscuring Korugar star totem behind him: "Now, let me show you true fear materialization—"
Sinestro's declaration was not yet finished when Chen Tian suddenly reached out and poked Kiana's waist: "Look, your deluxe meal has arrived."
"Eh? Where, where?" The girl's golden pupils instantly lit up like two small Suns.
When she clearly saw the sky-obscuring Yellow Lantern Corps, she jumped up as if electrified: "The strongest Valkyrie has arrived!" Her light wings exploded open, creating a wave of air, but she was cut off by a red afterimage just as she was about to rush into the sky.
—Dante's motorcycle wheel rim scraped past Kiana's nose, cutting through the air, the Demon Transformation hunter holding Rebellion in one hand, whistling as he stood on the motorcycle: "Ha, little one, I want this opponent."
"Wait! I saw that one first!" Kiana froze in her jumping posture, the Void Lance in her hand creaking.
Chen Tian casually patted the young girl's perky backside: "If you keep spacing out, you won't even get to fight the grunts." The touch of her fingertips was unexpectedly springy and soft. He pointed nonchalantly at the Yellow Lantern advance team, which had begun to dive in the distance: "Look, there are still more over there."
"Commander, you—!" Kiana's ear tips instantly turned crimson. Just as she was about to explode, she heard Dante's strange cry from the air: "Woah! The Corps Leader's fear energy smells like expired pizza!"
— — — — — —
"How dare you underestimate the Yellow Lanterns' power!!!" Sinestro was furious at Dante's indifferent attitude.
His ring erupted in blinding yellow light, and the entire sky of Planet Titan was dyed a sickly, dark yellow.
He raised his hand, and countless materialized fear entities crawled out of the void—twisted, spiky long spears, dripping giant guillotines, chains entwined with wailing souls, and even a materialized 'Dante's Childhood Nightmare'—a burning demonic castle, with Vergil's phantom flickering within it.
"Woah, this move is kind of interesting~" Dante whistled, Rebellion resting on his shoulder, a playful smile on his lips.
Sinestro sneered: "Enjoy your fear."
The next second, countless fear weapons poured down like a torrential rain!
Dante's figure was instantly submerged, but then—
"Bang!"
A gunshot, and a single bullet precisely shattered the phantom core of the fear castle.
Dante leaped out, stepping on the spinning guillotine blade, Ebony and Ivory firing alternately in his hands, each bullet accurately hitting the energy nodes of the fear weapons.
"Too cliché!" Dante laughed, doing a backflip in mid-air, Rebellion slicing through three incoming spiky long spears, "Fear? I finished dancing the tango with that thing long ago!"
Sinestro's eyes darkened, and his ring's light surged.
"Materialize—Nightmare Legion."
The sky tore open, and countless replicas of Yellow Lantern warriors poured out, each bearing faces familiar to Dante—fallen comrades, and civilians he couldn't save… They twisted, wailed, and lunged at Dante.
Dante's smile froze for a moment.
"Ha…" He lowered his head, his bangs covering his eyes, "Playing mind games?"
When he looked up again, his pupils had turned into the crimson of a demon.
The Demon Transformation Dante's phantom appeared behind him, and Rebellion ignited with hellfire. He no longer dodged, but instead charged towards the Nightmare Legion!
"Since you want to play—" He sliced through three illusions with one sword, and Ebony headshotted another, "Then let's play big!"
Sinestro frowned, his ring flashing again—
"Materialize · Abyssal Devourer."
The ground cracked open, and a giant maw made of pure fear energy rose from beneath the earth, the screams of countless lost souls entwined between its fangs. It swallowed Dante whole, its closing jaws emitting a spine-chilling grinding sound.
Silence.
Sinestro sneered: "Nothing more than this."
"BANG!"
The giant maw suddenly swelled, and then—
"Jackpot!"
Accompanied by Dante's iconic victory declaration, the fear beast exploded from within! Dante held two guns, four spinning phantom swords floated behind him, and Rebellion was impaled before Sinestro's materialized throne.
"It's my turn~" Dante grinned and snapped his fingers.
The four phantom swords simultaneously stabbed towards Sinestro. The Yellow Lantern leader hastily constructed a shield, but then saw Dante suddenly switch weapons—
"Cavaliere!"
The heavy motorcycle-shaped devil arm smashed onto Sinestro's head, blasting him into the ground. Dante rode the motorcycle, doing a tail whip in mid-air, its wheels rolling over the Yellow Lantern warrior replicas, creating a series of explosions.
Sinestro rose from the dust, his ring hot from overload. He gritted his teeth, materializing the ultimate fear—
"Materialize · Yellow Lantern Golem!"
A giant demon god, composed of pure fear energy, rose from the ground. Its face constantly changed, each second reflecting the deepest fear in the viewer's heart.
Dante whistled: "Woah, this big guy is kinda cool!"
He put away the motorcycle, gripping Rebellion with both hands, power gathering in the blade.
"But—" He grinned, "I prefer to dismantle toys myself!"
Dante transformed into a red lightning bolt, charging straight at the Yellow Lantern Golem!
Sinestro roared: "You cannot defeat fear itself!"
"Who said I was going to defeat it?" Dante laughed, Rebellion splitting the Golem's arm, "I'm here to enjoy the party!"
The Golem swung its fist, but Dante leaped, stepping on its arm, switching weapons in mid-air—
"Ebony & Ivory!"
The twin guns fired continuously, bullets accurately hitting the Golem's eyes. The Golem roared, but Dante had already flashed behind it, Rebellion plunging fiercely into its back neck!
"Bang—!"
The Yellow Lantern Golem exploded into countless light particles, and Sinestro was sent flying by the Impact. Dante landed gracefully, his Demon Transformation phantom dissipating, Rebellion back on his shoulder.
"Still want to play?" He tilted his head, a bright smile on his face, "I haven't even used up my arsenal yet."
Sinestro's ring flickered erratically. He stared at Dante, finally realizing—
This man's fear was not something he could materialize.
Because Dante Sparta had already danced with his own fear for many years.
— — — — — —
Sinestro's ring suddenly emitted a piercing hum, and Yellow Lantern energy uncontrollably overflowed.
"In that case…" He abruptly tore off his ring, the phantom of the Yellow Lantern Central Power Battery appearing behind him, "Taste cosmic-level fear!"
The ring dissolved into liquid fear, twisting in the air into a segmented insectoid form. When Parallax's compound eyes opened, the entire atmosphere of Planet Titan began to crystallize. Its hundreds of limbs wriggled simultaneously, each segment of its body displaying scenes of destruction from different civilizations.
"Woah~" Dante's pupils suddenly contracted, "This is way cooler than my brother's Demon Transformation form!" He casually impaled Rebellion into the ground, walking towards the Lantern Beast with his hands in his pockets, "Mind if I get a selfie?"
Parallax let out a shriek that could extinguish stars. Where the fear ripples swept, even space began to decay.
Cracks appeared on Dante's skin, and the darkest fragments of his memory were forcibly extracted—the Fire of his mother's Death, Vergil's back as he fell into the demon world, countless souls he failed to save…
"Oh dear…" Dante looked down at his disintegrating arm, then suddenly laughed, "So you all like digging up people's dark pasts?" Red demonic flames suddenly burst from the cracks, instantly devouring the fear energy that was eroding him.
The Demon Transformation Dante spread his bat wings, his horns piercing the solidified atmosphere. He reached out with an empty hand, and Rebellion automatically flew back into his grasp, its blade entwined with demonic power older than Parallax itself.
"You know what?" The Demon's voice had a triple echo, "When I dance with these big guys—"
"Hey! Uncle Dante—"
Kiana's voice suddenly tore through the solidified battlefield.
Just as Dante's Demon Transformation form spread its bat wings, a dazzling White light descended from the sky—the Herrscher of the Void's light wings were fully extended, Kiana floating higher in the sky, her hands clasped over her chest.
Her pupils had completely turned into brilliant gold, and countless Void Lances rotated around her, each entwined with Honkai energy powerful enough to tear dimensions apart.
"This big guy—" She grinned, revealing her fangs, "Is mine!"
The next second, her figure suddenly vanished.
Parallax didn't even have time to react. Kiana had already flashed to its head, pressing her hands down fiercely—
"Imaginary Collapse · End of Time!"
The entire space instantly collapsed!
Parallax's body was squeezed and twisted by an invisible force, its shriek was abruptly cut off, and its fear energy disintegrated inch by inch under the erosion of Honkai energy.
Kiana's golden eyes were cold and merciless. She held her hand in a single, empty grasp, and Parallax's compound eyes burst one by one, its Yellow Lantern energy forcibly extracted, turning into countless light particles and dissipating.
"No—!!" Sinestro roared, but his ring had already completely dimmed.
Kiana landed lightly, her light wings slowly retracting. She turned back and winked at Dante: "Uncle, you have to snatch monsters early~"
Dante's Demon Transformation form froze in place, Rebellion still raised in mid-air. He was silent for two seconds, then suddenly dispelled his transformation and scratched his head: "...Alright, these young people nowadays really don't play fair."
"Hehe~" Kiana proudly made a V-sign, then suddenly seemed to remember something and turned to look at Chen Tian: "Commander! Am I cool or not?!"
Kiana was proudly making a V-sign, her ahoge almost reaching the sky. Just then—
"Watch out!" Dante's voice suddenly rang out.
A sinister glint flashed in Sinestro's eyes. He raised his hand, and the remaining energy of his ring condensed into a sharp yellow light spear, thrusting straight at Kiana's back!
"Clang—!"
Rebellion cut down across the sky, and the yellow light spear shattered with a clang. Dante shook the blade, smiling lazily: "Hey, hey, ambushing a little girl isn't very gentlemanly."
Kiana finally reacted, turning sharply, her eyes wide: "Woah! This guy doesn't play fair!"
Chen Tian sighed, rubbing his Sun temple: "Kiana, don't be so careless." He raised his hand and pointed to the sky, "It's not over yet."
Everyone looked up, only to see Saitama moving through the Yellow Lantern Corps at an astonishing speed, each punch accurately hitting a Lantern Ring warrior. The fading of the Lantern Beast greatly reduced the power of the Yellow Lantern rings, making Saitama's efficiency in killing enemies even higher.
His movements were simple and brutal. The Yellow Lantern warriors exploded one after another like fireworks, turning into scattered fragments.
"Let's deal with these cannon fodder first." Chen Tian stood up, brushing dust from his clothes, his tone as calm as if discussing what to eat for dinner.
Then, his gaze turned to Sinestro, and his eyes suddenly grew cold.
"Don't leave this one either."
