Time itself seemed to fall silent.
All sound was swallowed by a metallic collision that rang like a colossal bell striking the heavens.
BOOM!!!
In the next instant, an earth-rending explosion tore open the sky.
Blazing deep-blue flames collided head-on with a raging sea of crimson fire, erupting into a torrent of destruction that shot straight into the clouds. A pillar of magma thousands of meters high surged upward from the clash point, roaring into the sky.
Within the inferno, the Red Ogre inside Toriko and the terrifying phantom looming behind the Final Beast, Girim, seemed to claw their way out of hell itself, their massive silhouettes writhing in the flames.
High above, the Red Ogre and the Final Beast wrestled in a brutal contest of power.
Down on the ground, Toriko and Girim were locked in savage hand-to-hand combat, neither yielding an inch. Every collision carried enough pressure to shake a planet.
Their crude, brutal exchanges made the entire mountain range groan like it was being shaken by a giant god. Deep, jagged fissures split the earth around them like monstrous scars. The mountain was already teetering on the brink of collapse.
Then, at the peak of that deadlock, Toriko's aura exploded outward.
His voice dropped low, like a war god murmuring judgment.
"Compared to that flashy little hellfire of yours, the flames of the Red Ogre… are the real source of power."
Before the last word even faded, fresh strength surged into his locked fist.
He pushed.
Girim, who had been relying on a steady, unbreakable defensive stance, faltered for the first time. His so-called indestructible body could no longer ignore the crushing force drilling into it.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A chain of detonations burst along Girim's right arm as Toriko's fist drove forward with unstoppable momentum.
The arm collapsed instantly under that monstrous power, pulverized into a grotesque mass of blood and shredded flesh.
The agony was blinding.
Girim's eyes rolled white. The shock numbed his nerves, and for a split second, he lost the instinct to dodge.
That was all Toriko needed.
He stomped the ground, unleashing a circular shockwave.
"One Hundred and Eight Nail Punch!"
With terrifying piercing force, the barrage tore straight through Girim's right chest.
Clang!
The sound was sharp and brutal, like a giant nail being hammered deep into steel.
A circular ripple spread from Girim's chest, expanding outward like a stone dropped into water before detonating violently.
It was as if an invisible hammer had smashed him from the inside.
His entire body was blasted upward.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!!!!!
Bone-cracking sounds rang out in rapid succession, enough to make anyone's scalp crawl. Ring after ring of destructive shockwaves burst across Girim's body as the true power of the Hundred Nail Punch was finally unleashed.
Every "nail" drove him higher.
Ten meters.
Twenty.
Fifty.
One hundred.
Five hundred.
A thousand.
Higher and higher he flew, flesh bursting apart under the relentless impact. Blood streamed behind him like a crimson firework trail.
Only after he shot past ten thousand meters, breaking through the thinning atmosphere, did the near-endless force of the Hundred Nail Punch finally fade.
"Thanks for the meal."
Toriko clasped his hands together reverently, a satisfied smile tugging at his lips as he quietly declared the battle over.
Girim's massive body, robbed of upward momentum, plummeted back down like a meteor. With thunderous force, it slammed into the mountain range behind Toriko.
BOOOOOOM!!!
The already-crippling mountain shattered completely.
Rock and soil exploded into the sky, forming a terrifying mushroom cloud.
The floating island, battered beyond recognition by their battle, finally broke apart. As the main range collapsed, the island split into countless fragments and drifted out into the vast ocean.
When sunlight finally pierced through the smoke again, a massive character—"End"—was carved across the screen in bold, dramatic strokes.
World of Toriko
"He actually won!" Toriko grinned at the frozen image of victory in the void screen. "Guess that Sunflower really does have ridiculous power."
Deep down, he knew the truth. Beating Girim so "easily" was largely thanks to the Sunflower's overwhelming boost to his Gourmet Cells. Without it, the difficulty would've multiplied several times over.
"What a relief!" Komatsu clenched his fists, eyes blazing with anger. "If Girim had gotten his way, who knows how many precious ingredients would've been ruined!"
To him, food was meant to be shared. That was what made it truly delicious.
Coco stared at the latter half of the video where he was practically invisible and sighed. "Well… guess I was just background decoration this time."
Still, a win was a win.
Zebra laughed loudly. "Toriko went all out. Not bad at all!"
If anything, he just felt a little regretful he hadn't gotten a taste of the Final Beast himself.
As the shocking footage ended, discussions across countless worlds exploded.
Four videos.
Four completely different kinds of violent beauty.
There was dazzling magic and the fiery bonds of Natsu and his comrades from Fairy Tail.
There was overwhelming ninjutsu, the clash between the Five Kage and Uchiha Madara from Naruto, a battle of legends.
There was hellish power, as Ichigo Kurosaki unleashed Getsuga Tenshō in Bleach, destruction in its purest form.
And there was savage, overwhelming physical strength—Toriko versus Girim—raw power that made every viewer's heart pound.
Even just these four worlds had already ignited endless longing.
What would come next?
They wanted stronger clashes. Higher dimensions. Maybe even their own world on the list.
The uploader, Su Jin, didn't let that anticipation cool.
A new title exploded onto the front page of the void site like thunder.
Top Blood-Boiling Battles Across the MultiverseThe Bald-Caped Hero vs. The Dominator of the Universe!!!!
In an instant, every world's eyes locked onto it.
Dragon Ball World
Inside a massive spacecraft, Vegeta stood with arms crossed, face twisted with irritation.
"Hmph. Why is this trash ranking never about Prince Vegeta?"
"Dominator of the universe? Another arrogant bastard like Frieza?"
"Tch. What a joke."
Elsewhere in the cosmos, within a far more luxurious and colossal warship, laughter echoed.
"Hohohoho…"
Frieza smiled, though icy killing intent radiated from him.
"Dominator of the universe? Let's see who dares claim that title."
As the true Emperor of the Universe, anyone challenging that name would pay in blood.
Super God Universe
Angel Leng looked at the new title, clearly annoyed. "This is already the fifth video, and still no angels?"
The earlier fights were impressive, sure. But compared to the epic wars where angels judged demons?
Angel Yan calmly replied, "It's only the fifth ranking. Haven't you noticed? The destruction scale keeps increasing. At first, a mountain could be destroyed. Now, the earth itself is cracking."
"Our Angel civilization can travel across star systems. Our level is higher. We wouldn't show up this early. This ranking is clearly progressing step by step."
Angel Zhixin nodded. "Exactly, Sister Leng. No need to rush. Besides, those fistfights were pretty entertaining."
Leng huffed. She simply wanted the multiverse to witness the grandeur and justice of angel civilization.
One Piece World
On the ship's prow, Monkey D. Luffy scratched his head.
"Dominator of the universe? What's the universe? Robin, is it like Sky Island? Just… farther away?"
Before Robin could answer, Usopp jumped in dramatically. "I know! Beyond the end of the sea are unimaginable realms! Moving islands! Giant trees that reach the sky!"
Smack!
Sanji kicked him flat.
"Cut it out. Only an idiot would believe fairy tales like that."
One Punch Man World
In the kitchen, Genos dropped his spatula with a loud clang.
"W-wait… this video…"
His voice trembled.
In the living room, a bald figure rushed in like a whirlwind.
"Genos! That's me! It's me!"
Saitama grabbed Genos by the shoulders, shaking him excitedly.
"The Bald-Caped Hero!"
For someone whose emotions had dulled after breaking his limiter, Saitama felt something rare.
Excitement.
Recognition.
Meanwhile, at Hero Association headquarters, silence reigned.
All the S-Class heroes were baffled.
The "Bald-Caped Hero" on screen was just a low-ranking C-Class hero.
How did he end up on a multiversal battle ranking?
The video began.
A bustling modern metropolis filled the screen. Skyscrapers towered. Technology gleamed. Crowds hurried along busy streets.
Peaceful. Ordinary.
Completely different from the previous explosive openings.
Then, without warning—
BOOM!!!!!
An overwhelming pressure descended like the hand of a god.
Half the city was erased instantly, reduced to dust and rising smoke.
Hundreds of thousands of people, who moments earlier were probably complaining about work, vanished without even the chance to scream.
Where skyscrapers once stood, only ruins remained.
Only the massive Hero Association headquarters stood stubbornly in the center, like a lonely monument.
City A was wiped off the map in a single second.
"W-what just happened?!" Genos' voice cracked.
"Who did this?!" Tanktop Master roared, eyes bloodshot.
The camera slowly tilted upward.
A colossal, luxurious alien warship loomed in the sky, casting a suffocating shadow over the earth.
The destruction of City A came from a single, merciless main cannon shot.
Inside the One Punch Man world, the heroes stared in horror.
"Aliens…"
"Our world… has real alien spaceships?"
Even the S-Class heroes felt tension coil in their chests.
Tatsumaki, ranked second in S-Class, narrowed her eyes.
"A spaceship… This is beyond anything we've dealt with."
The battle had only just begun.
"....."
