Greatest of All Time – Season 2Chapter 27: THE HISTORICAL WAR — ABSOLUTE CINEMA
The Battlefield Beyond the Multiverse
Silence.
For one final second, the entire battlefield stood frozen.
Billions of red and green soldiers surrounded the shattered celestial platform. The Heavenly Stones floated behind Biyan, releasing waves of ancient energy. The God of Aliness, Saroj, stood beside him, his gravity aura bending the space around his body.
Across the battlefield, Arashio stood alone.
His clothes were torn. Blood trickled down his forehead. His hands trembled from exhaustion.
He had no powers.
No transformation.
No divine energy.
But he still refused to step back.
Biyan looked at him with disappointment.
"Still standing? Haven't you understood yet? Your determination cannot defeat a god."
Arashio stared directly at him.
"Maybe not."
He clenched his fists.
"But I'll keep standing until I can't anymore."
Saroj laughed.
"Then let me show you what happens when a powerless human challenges the gods!"
BOOOOOOM!!
The war began.
Millions of soldiers charged simultaneously. Red energy collided with green energy, turning the darkness of space into a storm of explosions. Celestial weapons clashed, planets shattered, and enormous shock waves spread across distant galaxies.
KABOOOOOM! CRACK! WHOOSH!!
The Neutral Team rushed forward.
Arashio charged toward the Heavenly Stones, dodging falling debris and incoming attacks. He wasn't fast enough to overpower the gods, but he was determined to reach the stones before Biyan could take them.
He was almost there.
Then—
A hand grabbed his leg.
"WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING?"
Saroj.
Before Arashio could react, Saroj lifted him upside down and hurled him across the battlefield.
BOOOOOOM!!
Arashio smashed through a floating rock formation.
He tried to rise.
Saroj appeared before him.
BAM!!
A punch struck Arashio's face.
BAM!! BAM!! CRACK!!
Saroj continued punching him, each blow sending Arashio deeper into the shattered ground. Blood ran from Arashio's forehead and dripped onto the broken stone beneath him.
"WHERE IS YOUR POWER NOW?" Saroj roared.
Arashio tried to raise his arm.
Saroj smashed it aside.
"You think courage makes you special? You think the universe cares whether you live or die?"
Another brutal punch landed.
BOOOOOOM!!
Arashio collapsed.
His vision blurred.
The sounds of the war became distant.
I can't… move.
Saroj grabbed him by the throat and lifted him into the air.
"LOOK AT YOUR ALLIES! THEY'RE FIGHTING A WAR THEY CANNOT WIN!"
Arashio could barely open his eyes.
But he still looked toward the battlefield.
Siya… James… Saku…
I'm sorry.
Saroj drew back his fist.
"This ends now!"
He punched Arashio with everything he had.
KRAAAAAAAAAA-BOOOOOOOOM!!
Arashio was thrown across the battlefield like a broken star.
He crashed into the ground, creating a crater that stretched across the shattered platform.
His body lay motionless.
For a moment, even the soldiers nearby stopped fighting.
Biyan looked toward the crater.
"Finally."
But Saroj suddenly noticed something strange.
The sky had begun to glow.
Not red.
Not green.
BLUE.
A deep, cosmic blue light descended from the heavens.
The battlefield trembled.
The soldiers looked upward.
A massive shock wave swept across space, pushing entire armies backward. The clouds of cosmic dust separated as a figure descended through the light.
A second figure appeared beside him.
Then a third.
A voice thundered across the battlefield.
"WHO SAID THE WAR WAS OVER?"
Scene 2: The Miracle From the Sky
BOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!
Three figures landed between Arashio and the enemy armies.
The first stood surrounded by dark purple energy, with blue lightning crawling across his body.
The second was enveloped in brilliant golden flames shaped like enormous phoenix wings.
The third stood amid swirling slime energy, countless luminous droplets orbiting her like a living storm.
ZAKU.
SIYA.
ALYA.
James's voice echoed through Zaku's mind.
"FINALLY! I THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO MISS THE ENTIRE WAR!"
Saku answered, "You were the one who stopped to fight another million soldiers."
"They looked at me funny!"
"FOCUS!"
Zaku looked toward Arashio's motionless body.
His smile disappeared.
For the first time, neither James nor Saku made a joke.
"Arashio…" Zaku whispered.
Siya rushed toward the crater.
She knelt beside Arashio, carefully lifting his head.
"Arashio! Please, open your eyes!"
There was no response.
Tears filled her eyes, but she wiped them away.
She stood.
The golden flames around her erupted into enormous phoenix wings.
FWOOSHHHHH!!
"YOU HURT HIM."
Her voice was quiet.
That made it even more terrifying.
The phoenix behind her spread its wings across the battlefield, bathing the shattered heavens in golden light.
"And now… you'll face us."
Alya stepped forward beside her.
Slime energy flooded the ground, forming gigantic beasts, protective barriers, and hundreds of enormous weapons.
She looked at the approaching armies.
"All right. Who wants to be the first one sent flying?"
Zaku cracked his neck.
James grinned.
"Now THAT'S what I'm talking about!"
Saku's blue eye ignited.
"Let's finish this."
THE BATTLE ENTERED ITS NEXT PHASE.
Scene 3: Zaku vs. Millions
The green army attacked.
Millions of soldiers launched their weapons simultaneously, creating a gigantic wall of green energy that swallowed the battlefield.
Zaku didn't move.
He simply raised his head.
"Supreme Insane."
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!
Dark purple energy exploded from his body.
Space bent around him.
His purple aura spread like an endless storm, while blue lightning tore through the darkness. His eyes burned with two different powers, and the ground beneath his feet disintegrated.
Biyan's expression changed.
"What… is that energy?"
Zaku vanished.
CRACK!!
The first green commander was struck before he could blink.
BOOM!! BAM!! KABOOM!!
Zaku tore through the army at impossible speed. Every movement released a devastating shock wave. Green warriors flew across the battlefield as he moved from one formation to another.
Thousands fell.
Then hundreds of thousands.
Then millions.
The green army attempted to surround him, but Zaku's purple aura expanded, crushing their energy barriers and shattering their weapons.
James laughed inside his mind.
"ONE MILLION DOWN! HOW MANY MORE?"
Saku replied, "Enough that you should stop counting."
Zaku raised both hands.
"Absolute Copy!"
A colossal green beam shot toward him.
He copied its energy, transformed it into a spiraling purple blast, and fired it back.
KAAAAAAAAA-BOOOOOOOOM!!
The explosion illuminated entire galaxies.
Far across the battlefield, Biyan clenched his fists.
"That fusion…!"
Zaku turned toward him.
"HEY, RED GUY!"
Biyan's eyes narrowed.
Zaku pointed directly at him.
"YOU'RE NEXT!"
Scene 4: Phoenix and Slime Rampage
Siya rose into the sky.
Her phoenix wings expanded until they covered the battlefield.
"PHOENIX—DIVINE RAMPAGE!"
FWOAAAAAAAAASH!!
Golden flames swept across the red army, forming enormous flaming birds that dived through enemy formations. Every wingbeat released waves of sacred fire, forcing the soldiers backward.
Alya joined the assault.
"SLIME ARMY—UNLEASH!"
Her slime creatures multiplied across the battlefield, forming gigantic warriors with glowing cores. Some shielded injured soldiers, while others transformed into massive hammers and cannons.
BOOM! BOOM! KABOOM!!
Siya's phoenix flames and Alya's slime attacks struck together, breaking through the enemy's defensive lines.
When a giant red warrior attacked Siya from behind, Alya's slime formed a massive hand and grabbed him midair.
"NO SNEAK ATTACKS!"
She threw him straight into a group of approaching soldiers.
CRAAAAAAAAASH!!
Siya glanced at her.
"Nice catch!"
Alya grinned.
"Save your thanks until we're alive!"
But the red army kept coming.
And Biyan was watching everything.
His expression had become cold.
"Enough."
He raised one hand.
The entire battlefield went silent.
Scene 5: Red Anti-Nature vs. Supreme Insane
A crimson storm erupted around Biyan.
The Heavenly Stones behind him began to vibrate as his power surged beyond its previous limits.
"I am Biyan," he declared. "The God of Nature. Everything that grows, everything that breathes, everything that exists within creation answers to me!"
The space beneath his feet transformed into a gigantic red domain.
"But you dare challenge nature itself?"
Zaku landed before him.
Purple energy surged around his body.
"Nature? Creation? Big words."
He tilted his head.
"Let's see how you handle destruction."
Biyan's aura turned into a colossal red dragon, while Zaku's purple energy formed an enormous demonic silhouette behind him.
The two warriors stared at each other.
Then they vanished.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!
Their fists collided.
The impact shattered the surrounding space.
Biyan unleashed a barrage of red strikes. Zaku blocked them with purple energy, counterattacking with punches that sent shock waves through the multiverse.
BAM!! CRACK!! KABOOOOOM!!
Red clashed with purple.
Nature clashed with insane cosmic power.
Every collision cracked another layer of reality.
Biyan drove his fist into Zaku's chest.
Zaku slid backward, then smiled.
"That's it?"
His purple aura exploded.
"MY TURN!"
SUPREME INSANE — LIMIT BREAK!
The battlefield vanished beneath a storm of purple lightning.
Zaku struck Biyan with a devastating combination, driving him through multiple collapsing barriers of space.
Biyan roared and unleashed his full red anti-nature energy.
RED ANTI-NATURE!!
A crimson wave swallowed the battlefield.
Zaku answered with an enormous purple blast.
KAAAAAAAAA-BOOOOOOOOM!!
The collision sent vibrations across the multiverse.
Distant dimensions cracked.
Stars flickered out.
The boundaries separating realities began to break.
Even the Heavenly Stones shook violently behind Biyan.
Siya shielded Alya from the shock wave.
"This power… it's getting out of control!"
Alya stared at the sky.
"The multiverse can't withstand much more!"
But neither warrior stopped.
Biyan raised both arms, summoning the full fury of nature.
Zaku gathered every trace of purple energy into his fist.
Their final attacks rushed toward each other.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!
The multiverse vibrated beyond its limits.
Reality began to fracture.
And deep inside the crater, Arashio's fingers suddenly moved.
A faint light appeared beneath his bloodied hand.
The Last Stone was glowing.
