Suddenly remembering something else, Mirajane asked in return:
"Aren't you coming with me, Erza? After all, your mother will definitely go, and you yourself also..."
Mirajane didn't finish the sentence.
It would indeed hurt Erza's pride.
Although her 'first layer' remained intact, Erza had indeed been seen completely naked by Lott.
'But if Erza went too, wouldn't that be mother and daughter together... Oh my, isn't that a bit too explosive?'
"I..." Erza herself looked conflicted.
But more than being seen by Lott, she cared more about her mother, who looked at her as if she were an enemy.
Erza wanted to know what had happened to that woman to make her harbor such hatred.
Mirajane personally very much wanted Erza and her mother to reconcile.
After all, she herself lost her parents at a young age and didn't want her best friend to experience the same pain.
Mirajane's pink lips parted slightly, wanting to say something to persuade her friend.
"Er-"
But the moment the first syllable left her mouth, Mirajane jolted as if suddenly aware of something.
A look of horror, as if witnessing the end of the world, appeared on her face.
Opposite her, Erza's expression was the same.
Not just them, but even Natsu, Gray, who had just finished their respective opponents, and even a rookie like Lucy stood frozen in place.
They could feel it… this inexplicable pressure enveloping their planet!
And on the chaotic Planet Pirate...
Ace and Roger engaged in their family feud in Loguetown, the Three Admirals fighting the resurrected Rocks in God Valley-
Countless people across the universe stopped what they were doing simultaneously.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment.
In space, Genos and Cooler slightly turned their heads, looking towards the eastern part of the galaxy.
Every life form in the universe with even the slightest bit of perception could sense... this ultimate energy.
…
On the Planet Ling Cage, where not a single intact patch of ground remained visible.
Bai Yuekui held Mew in her arms, as only that seemed to barely give her a sense of security. This beautiful female lead had never worn such an ugly expression.
Behind her, Xia Dou and Erika, Sui Xing and Ran Bing also held each other's hands.
The men, like Mo Cheng, Shan Da and Xu Tong, huddled together, radiating a strong sense of bromance.
Whoosh- Whoosh-
In the distance, strange red energy surged.
It was Janemba, erupting with power.
"Mew~" The usually calm pink cat, accustomed to grand scenes while perched on Lott's belt, felt a bit apprehensive this time.
It didn't want to stay here anymore, and it wanted to return to the Poké Ball on Lott's belt, as that felt safer.
As for Bai Yuekui and the others, it didn't want to bother with them anymore.
After all, Mew wasn't like the good-natured Legendary Pokémon like Ho-Oh or Xerneas.
Its personality was like that of an innocent child, sometimes good, sometimes bad.
Like a child seeing ants on the roadside-
Sometimes it would kindly make way for them, other times it might playfully step on them out of mischief.
It acted entirely on its own whims.
Feeling the pink cat in her arms trying to break free, Bai Yuekui hurriedly cried out:
"No, no, no! Please! Please don't go!"
Glancing at the endless dark abyss below, Bai Yuekui clearly understood that if Mew left, they would die the next second.
Without any warning, Janemba in the distance, having raised its energy to its limit, soared into the air.
The very space exploded, unleashing a demonic might that overshadowed everything.
Boom!
A flying sword was unleashed. If one looked at the Planet Ling Cage from space, they would see a corner of the planet being sliced off as easily as tofu.
The flying sword slash erupted and spread out in all directions across the planet.
"Mew-" Even from thousands of miles away, the barrier created by Mew's Psychic was pushed back continuously by the turbulent currents rolling towards them.
"Mew~ Mew~" Mew's little paws flailed constantly. Even without a Meowth translator, one could roughly guess the meaning: "I want to go home! I want to go home!"
Swish-
Just then, another god-slaying sword slash was unleashed.
It passed so close it almost grazed Bai Yuekui's beautiful hair and Mew's little paws.
Bai Yuekui and the pink cat in her arms had identical expressions.
They stared dumbfounded towards the right.
And then they saw... the visible world, no! The entire planet was split in two.
The right half of the planet drifted away into the distance.
Between them lay a dazzling, brilliant galaxy.
"L-little kitty, I-I think it's better if you don't run around, right?" It was unknown how long it took for Bai Yuekui to barely regain her composure.
Mew nodded its head like a pestle, expressing agreement.
'Yeah, why am I panicking?'
'My master has the Dragon Balls!'
'What am I afraid of?'
'Hahaha! This adorable creature fears nothing!'
…
In the center of the battlefield on the now halved Planet Ling Cage.
Super Saiyan 2 Lott glanced at the diagonal bloodstain on his shoulder.
It was from Janemba's sword slash just now.
Injury... such a distant concept.
"Wraaagh-" Opposite him, Janemba, the amalgamation of the power and evil thoughts of Hell's villains, lacking its own language, let out a fierce roar.
The blood sword swung with its right hand.
Extreme flying sword appeared once more.
It reached up to the sky and down to the depths.
Even Bai Yuekui and the others, thousands of miles away, could see it clearly.
"Do you really think you've won?" Lott raised his gaze slightly.
The moment his words fell, his emerald-green pupils turned into a void-like, pale white.
If the evil energy produced by Janemba's full-power eruption earlier was something anyone in the universe with even a bit of perception could sense...
Then at this moment, even weaklings with no special powers and as feeble as a chicken, like Shinpachi from the Planet Amanto, Subaru from the Planet Isekai, or the Yukinoshita Family on Planet Terra, could feel the terror of this energy.
Lott's muscles swelled dramatically, his golden hair turning a bluish-green.
But now, it was also crackling with sharp lightning.
Legendary Super Saiyan 2 Form!
"Hmph!" In this form, Lott's right palm glowed with a cyan light.
"Atmosphere Bomb!"
Red and cyan light illuminated the East Galaxy, bringing endless destruction.
Bai Yuekui's team and the few remaining lucky survivors, far away tens of thousands of miles, could see the already halved planet begin to fracture further.
The fragmented pieces of the planet started drifting sporadically into space.
Boom!
At that moment, an indescribable force erupted.
Bai Yuekui and the others only vaguely saw something appear at the horizon.
But before they could even react, before their consciousness could even register it-
A blood-red streak of light flew from the distance and swept past them.
Something slammed into the planetary crust, now only a third of its original size. The remaining crust instantly shattered, cracks spreading rapidly.
Ran Bing and the others turned their gazes in disbelief and saw-
"Cough!" The monster calling itself 'Janemba' coughed up a mouthful of blood. The cracks in the crust it was embedded in continued to expand outwards.
Then-
A cyan light descended from the sky.
It precisely struck Janemba's abdomen, which was still embedded in the center of the crust before it could free itself.
In a gap of just one microsecond, Bai Yuekui, with her specially modified body, finally barely managed to see.
It wasn't a light… it was Lott in his Legendary Super Saiyan 2 Form!
