Location: Artificial Field
Michael's Super Technique, Sun's Gravitational Pull, was still active. Everything was being dragged into the ground. Meanwhile, Enzo…
Enzo: I… haven't lost yet…
A massive aura began to radiate from Michael's left side. His body trembled slightly as energy waves shook the surroundings.
Michael: Who is releasing such enormous energy?!
While Michael's attention was focused on the aura, Enzo coated himself in paint to gain resistance against the gravity and swiftly moved behind Michael.
Enzo: Didn't I tell you… I haven't lost yet.
Michael spun around abruptly and unleashed an energy punch toward Enzo but Enzo had already dodged the attack.
Enzo: I was right behind you.
Enzo followed with a rapid uppercut to Michael's jaw. Michael staggered and could barely remain upright from the blow.
Enzo: You're the one who lost.
Meanwhile, Peter had already leaped from the mountain, running at full speed to escape Liberty. But escaping Liberty was impossible.
Liberty: Come on, that's all you've got after talking so big?
Peter ran as if his mind had reached its limit. His inner voice raced.
Peter (in his mind): Impossible... impossible… I can't beat him!
Liberty suddenly leapt into the air and spoke.
Liberty: Erasure Technique, Circular Erasure.
Thanks to Peter's reflexes, he caught a fleeting glimpse: the incoming attack was invisible, and a 10-meter circular area around him had been completely erased. He stood in the center. The ground cracked, tree and rock fragments flew through the air.
Peter: How… is this possible!?
Liberty: Hmm.
Peter: Before you arrived, I had already severely wounded that insect… I inflicted massive damage… but you!
Liberty: Ah… yes, normally it would have been impossible to fully recover… but…
Seeing Liberty's condition, Peter's fear intensified. Not a single scratch remained on Jack's body. It was as if all wounds had been completely healed.
Peter (inner voice): This… is impossible… he hasn't been injured at all… how?!
Liberty: People like me can do this.
Peter: No human can ever use regeneration! Only if the technique has this kind of property… could it be possible!
Liberty smirked slightly and pointed at Peter with his right hand. His overhead gaze combined with the aura of "warming up" made Peter feel utterly crushed, as if he were about to be flattened.
Liberty: That's why people like me can do this… and I guess these must be your last words.
Peter trembled in fear, panicked to the point of almost losing control.
Liberty: Erasure Technique…
World Eraser.
A massive surge of energy erupted, moving toward Peter. About five meters wide, it erased not just Peter, but also the area behind him, creating a combined trench of five meters.
Peter: I… I want to live!?
The energy strike engulfed Peter and erased him. Only his two arms remained, falling into the void. The attack continued, passing in front of Rose and stopping there. A massive, 41-meter-long trench, five meters wide, had been formed.
Rose: No way…
Peter's terror, shock, and panic, combined with the devastating environmental destruction caused by the attack, pushed the battle to its absolute climax.
Location: Overseer Room
Rick leapt out of his chair, eyes wide with fear.
Vals: Are you okay, Rick? What's wrong?
Rick: We're ending the test immediately, Vals... IMMEDIATELY!
Vals didn't fully understand, but seeing Rick's seriousness, He quickly decided to intervene. He activated the speaker.
Rick: Damn it! After thousands of years… it's back… Liberty Sacred!?
Location: Artificial Field, Forest
Amidst the chaos of the ongoing battle, the speaker suddenly came alive.
Vals (through speaker): All participants! The test is hereby canceled! I repeat: CANCELED!
Suddenly, silence fell over the Artificial Field.
