The Doctor's wild laughter echoed through the ruins!
"Hahahaha! You're all going to die! Every single one of you!"
Just then—
Boom!
The pile of ruins burying Leo suddenly began to shake!
The Doctor's laughter came to a screeching halt!
Everyone turned their heads at the same time!
Boom—!!!
The ruins exploded! Debris flew in all directions!
A figure burst out from the rubble!
It was Leo!
At this moment, he was completely unscathed.
His entire body's skin had turned an eerie bright red, as if a volcano were burning inside him! His eyes snapped open, golden light flickering in his pupils!
An indescribable, terrifying aura swept out from him like a tsunami!
Rumble—!!!
The entire Second Floor was shaking violently!
With his feet as the center, spiderweb-like cracks spread frantically for hundreds of meters! Walls collapsed, the ceiling cracked, and the entire space teetered on the brink of destruction!
The originally golden Nen now seemed to have condensed into burning golden flames, enveloping his entire body!
The flames warped space and swallowed light, emitting a suffocating pressure!
After absorbing a massive amount of Life Energy, his status had been refreshed!
The madness on the Doctor's face instantly froze.
She felt as if she had been plunged into the depths of a ten-thousand-meter-deep sea.
The omnipresent, terrifying pressure crushed down from all directions. Her body trembled violently, her knees grew weak, and she nearly collapsed to her knees.
"This... what is this..."
"No! Impossible!!!"
Her voice was shaking.
Sophia's eyes widened, and tears welled up and spilled over.
"Master..."
Shizuku adjusted her glasses, her fingers trembling.
Kastro stared intently at Leo, his eyes filled with awe.
Machi Komacine murmured.
"This aura..."
Ashir slumped to the ground, shaking all over with fear.
Leo looked down at his hands.
The tattoo on the back of his hand had changed—the originally simple dark red vortex was now surrounded by several golden lines, like burning flames.
[Proof of Humanity: Awakening]
A stream of information flowed into his mind—his ability had leveled up.
New: Immaculate Body—greatly increases lifespan and provides immunity to any abnormal status effects.
Can utilize one's own Life Energy to accelerate the healing of humans.
At the same time, his Rank had reached Level 72.
Meanwhile, another power was surging within him—it was the entirety of the styx stone's Life Energy, now fully poured into his body.
This colossal energy was constantly washing through his flesh, causing his physical strength to climb continuously.
Extreme pain also continuously eroded his nerves, but Leo endured it without changing his expression.
If converted into levels, he was at least over Level 100.
He felt that even if he faced the Ant King now, he could easily beat him to death.
But—
This power was also constantly weakening.
It was too massive; his body couldn't fully contain it, and it was constantly leaking out.
The Life Energy the Doctor had absorbed using the styx stone was far too vast.
He didn't have much time to use it, probably about ten minutes.
Leo raised his head and looked at the Doctor.
His gaze was as calm as water.
But in the Doctor's eyes, it was like the gaze of the Grim Reaper.
"You..."
The Doctor had just opened her mouth—
Leo vanished!
In the next instant, he appeared right in front of the Doctor!
The Doctor didn't even have time to react before she felt an irresistible force strike her left waist!
Crack—!!!
The crisp sound of bones snapping.
Her waist bone was broken.
Then, the entire world began to spin.
Leo kicked her flying!
Boom—!!!
The Doctor flew back a hundred meters, crashing through wall after wall before finally being embedded in the ruins.
Leo didn't pursue her.
He turned his head and looked at Ashir.
"Open the teleport."
His voice was calm, yet carried an unquestionable authority.
"Leave this Island."
Ashir jolted back to his senses!
He raised his trembling hands and pushed his ability to its limit!
Five seconds.
Four seconds.
Three seconds.
Two seconds.
One second.
A light door emerged in front of him.
Ashir didn't ask any questions and dove headfirst into the light door.
Sophia looked at Leo and opened her mouth.
"Master..."
"Go."
Leo's voice was firm.
Sophia gritted her teeth and turned to rush into the light door.
Shizuku glanced at Leo, adjusted her glasses, and followed.
Kastro bowed deeply and turned to leave.
Machi Komacine walked over to Hisoka and helped up the unconscious man.
He looked back at Leo and gave a solemn nod.
"Take care. We'll wait for your return."
With that, he stepped through the light door and vanished.
The light door slowly dissipated.
On the entire Second Floor, only Leo and the Doctor remained.
Leo clenched his fist.
Bang—!
A sonic boom rang out.
He closed his eyes, feeling the power within him that was steadily diminishing.
It was wonderful.
Intoxicating.
Unfortunately, it was just a limited-time trial card.
Boom—!!!
The ruins exploded!
The Doctor crawled out from the rubble!
Her waist bone had healed, but much slower than before; without the styx stone, her self-healing ability was greatly diminished.
She stared at Leo, her eyes full of madness.
"You swine! How dare you stop me from ushering in the future of a new era!"
Her voice was shrill and piercing.
"Unforgivable—!!!"
Leo opened his eyes.
He took a step and walked toward the Doctor.
With every step, the ground cracked and collapsed.
The sudden, massive power made it difficult for him to control his movements.
"How regrettable."
His voice was calm.
"Your future ends here."
No sooner had he spoken—
He vanished!
In the next instant, he appeared right in front of the Doctor!
Tear—!!!
The seven Tentacles on the Doctor's back were ripped out by the roots!
Blood sprayed! The Doctor's eyes nearly split from rage as she smashed a fist down at Leo!
Leo reached out his left hand and caught the fist.
He gave it a light squeeze.
Crack!
The entire palm was crushed raw!
Flesh and blood burst out from between his fingers!
The Doctor let out a shrill howl as intense pain surged like a tide!
Leo gave a gentle tug.
Rip—!!!
The entire arm was torn right off!
Blood splattered!
"Shh."
Leo raised his right hand and slammed it onto the Doctor's head!
"During the time of judgment, silence is required."
Then—
He pressed down!
Bang—!!!
The Doctor's head was smashed violently into the ground! The floor collapsed, debris flew, and the entire space shook!
Leo raised his right fist and slammed it down!
Boom—!!!
The Doctor's head exploded!
Blood and bits of flesh flew everywhere!
But her body was still twitching, and granulation tissue grew frantically at the severed neck, attempting to regenerate.
Leo grabbed her ankle and twisted his waist violently!
His arm erupted with terrifying strength, and like swinging a hammer throw, he hurled the Doctor's mangled body upward!
Bang!
The Doctor's body smashed through the Second Floor ceiling,
flying toward the First Floor!
Bang!
Continuing to smash through the First Floor, flying toward the surface!
Leo pushed off with his feet!
Bang—!!!
The ground cracked for hundreds of meters! The entire Second Floor completely collapsed!
His figure vanished instantly!
In the next second, he appeared beside the Doctor!
By now, both of them had flown out onto the surface!
The sunlight was blinding!
At this moment, Leo was like a human-shaped natural disaster!
Machi Komacine and the others had just returned to the Yacht when they heard a world-shaking explosion!
They turned their heads sharply!
On that Island, two figures burst onto the surface!
Leo delivered a knee strike to the Doctor!
Bang—!!!
The Doctor's mangled body flew a thousand meters into the sky, trailing a shocking bloody streak in the sunlight!
Leo crouched slightly and exerted power through his legs!
Boom—!!!
The ground of the entire Island cracked for hundreds of meters! The fissures, like abysses, spread in all directions!
His figure soared into the sky!
In the next instant, he appeared above the Doctor!
He raised his right leg high, and then—
Smashed it down!
Bang—!!!
The Doctor's headless body crashed back to the ground like a meteorite!
Boom—!!!
The entire Island was trembling!
