[Yagami Team VS Ikari Warriors Team]
"It's here, it's here! The main event is finally here!"
"Iori Yagami! That madman! He's finally taking the stage personally?!"
Amid the venue's "fandom war" fervent cheers, the exciting match opened once more.
Heidern, Ralf, Clark—these three iron-blooded soldiers from the "Ikari Warriors"—walked gravely onto the stage.
That military-specific steel-like resolute aura made even the surrounding noisy air freeze.
On the opposite side.
Billy and Eiji Kisaragi merely stood silently at the stage's sides, showing no intention of entering.
Only Iori Yagami, maintaining that hands-in-pockets, slightly hunched arrogant posture, slowly walked alone to the stage center.
"Hey! What's the meaning of this?!" Heidern, the Ikari Warriors captain with one eye, coldly demanded seeing this bizarre formation. "Looking down on us?!"
"Looking down?"
Iori slowly raised his head, those blood-red eyes hidden beneath his bangs' shadow—like two sharp scalpels—coldly sweeping over the three.
A cruel, disdainful arc curved his lips.
"No."
"I'm just..."
"Too lazy to waste time on trash like you."
"All three at once."
"I'm in a hurry."
His supremely arrogant declaration instantly ignited the entire venue!
"Too arrogant! This guy!"
"One versus three?! Who does he think he is?!"
Heidern's trio trembled with rage, fury burning!
"Bastard! You'll pay for your arrogance!"
Ralf roared and charged first!
"Cosmic Phantom!"
He concentrated all his power into his right fist, carrying enough force to punch through a battleship, charging at Iori!
However, facing this mountain-shattering strike, Iori didn't even lift an eyelid.
He simply... casually raised his right hand.
"Aoi Bana."
His voice was ice-cold, emotionless.
Three purple claw shadows filled with ominous destructive energy—like three poisonous snakes from hell—struck first despite launching second, instantly tearing through Ralf's proud punch force!
Then, momentum undiminished, they slammed viciously into Ralf's chest!
"Pffft—!"
Ralf didn't even have time to scream. His entire body flew backward like he'd been hit by a speeding train, violently spewing blood, crashing into the barrier behind, immediately losing consciousness!
One move!
Another one-hit kill!
The entire venue fell deathly silent.
Everyone was completely shocked by Iori's unreasonable, crushing power.
"Next."
Iori's voice was like death's judgment.
"Kill him!"
Heidern and Clark exchanged glances, simultaneously exploding into action!
"Final Showdown!"
"Napalm!"
Two battle-hardened elite special forces unleashed their strongest combination attack!
However, Iori just... laughed.
Laughed increasingly madly, increasingly bloodthirstily!
"Truly... boring struggle."
BOOM—!!!!!!
A purple-black [Absolute Domain] more violent, more evil, more filled with pure destructive desire than any before—like a tsunami—erupted from within him!
Not 40%, not 45%!
But rather... making the entire Tokyo Dome tremble...
[Absolute Domain 50%]!!
The terrifying domain force field instantly crushed Heidern and Clark's attacks!
"Forbidden Style 1211: Ya Otome!"
He unleashed a bestial roar! His entire body transformed into a purple phantom impossible to track with the naked eye, carrying claws that rend everything, instantly completely swallowing those two battle-hardened iron-blooded soldiers!
When the light faded.
Only that figure slowly withdrawing his claws, still burning with faint purple flames like a demon from hell, remained on stage.
And... two iron-blooded soldiers lying in pools of blood, completely stripped of fighting ability.
One versus three!
Iori Yagami, in an almost "slaughter"-like manner, completed this... suffocating performance.
His brutality, his power, his... unreasonableness.
Brought unprecedented, tremendous pressure and fear to all fighters present!
...
"So... so strong..."
In the Beautiful Girl Squad's rest area, Kusanagi Aoi's face had paled, gripping Cloud's arm tightly, her entire body trembling.
"Cloud-oniisan..." She instinctively called out softly.
"Don't worry."
Cloud patted Aoi's back, showing her a reassuring smile.
"Just... a rather loud mad dog."
"Watch how I... deal with him shortly."
Yata Tsukihime glared fiercely at Cloud.
With that, he slowly stood, and under the entire venue's expectant, worried, fervent complex gazes, led his two "beautiful girl accessories" slowly onto the stage.
Second match: Beautiful Girl Squad VS Kyokugenryu Team officially begins!
When Cloud's figure appeared at stage center, the venue again erupted in thunderous cheers!
"Cloud! Cloud! Cloud!"
"King of Fighters! King of Fighters! King of Fighters!"
His popularity at this moment even... faintly surpassed the previously unstoppable Iori!
No helping it—who made him both handsome and powerful, while also... bringing two such cute girl teammates?
This is the power of "looks"!
On the opposite side.
Ryo Sakazaki, Robert Garcia, and their father—Kyokugenryu's founder, the "God of Karate"—Takuma Sakazaki also walked gravely onto the stage.
