"Koch, prey has come knocking."

Hearing the words of the bald man, Bhadra.

In the shadows.

A man wearing a white suit and gold-rimmed glasses came out.

The man's leather shoes, though worn, remained unstained by the muddy ground. His white suit stood out starkly in the depths of Falling Star Valley.

He looked up, peering through his glasses at the enormous golden dragon silhouette weaving through the clouds in the night sky.

He smiled.

"Two SS-class?"

Koch pushed up his glasses and said calmly, "This time, the prey... is quite substantial."

These two people are none other than...

It was none other than Bhadra and Kochi, core members of the Dawn Guild who had previously appeared on the battlefield in the Sakura Kingdom!

Who would have thought that after stirring up trouble in the Sakura Country, they would quietly cross the ocean and appear deep in the sealed-off Falling Star Valley of the Free Federation!

"Hahaha--!"

Bhadra burst into laughter, cracking his neck. "Who cares how much weight they have! Anyone who dares to cause trouble at this time will be smashed into mincemeat and used as nourishment!"

“Don’t be too careless, Bhadra.” Koch said calmly, his hands in his suit pockets.

"So what?!"

Bhadra stomped heavily on the ground!

A loud bang followed!

The hard rock ground collapsed, creating a crater ten meters in diameter!

Dark golden Sanskrit characters appeared on the surface of his massive body. A violent aura surged from within him!

...

Above the sky.

The wind howled.

"Lord Domoko! There's a high-energy reaction down below!"

Thor gripped Mjolnir tightly, his eyes blazing with lightning as he stared down at the valley shrouded in darkness.

"I saw it!"

Domoko stood on the dragon's back, the wind blowing his short hair and beard.

His gaze pierced through the clouds, locking onto the towering pillar of blood below, and the expanding dark golden light beside it!

No nonsense.

There was not a single hint of probing.

The battle began when the pure-blooded golden dragon appeared above Falling Star Valley!

Domoko pointed his enormous dragon spear, which was three meters long, forward!

"Ike! Burn these rats in the gutter!"

"hold head high--!!!"

The golden dragon Ike let out a roar that shattered the clouds!

Its massive dragon body turned back in mid-air, folded its wings, and swooped down towards the Falling Star Valley below!

During the dive, Ike opened his massive jaws!

Terrifying elements of light were frantically gathering in its mouth!

A loud bang was heard!

A golden dragon breath, over a hundred meters in diameter, transformed into a pillar of light that pierced the heavens and earth, crashing down into Falling Star Valley below!

The air along the way was sucked dry, emitting a ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ teeth-grinding shriek!

The space vibrates under high temperature!

"Good timing!!"

Faced with the world-destroying dragon breath that was enough to evaporate a small city, Bhadra below did not dodge, but instead let out a wild roar!

"Buzz—!"

A blinding golden light erupted from the depths of Falling Star Valley! 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Bhadra's body, which was originally the size of a normal person, swelled up in the wind under the golden light!

Five meters!

Ten meters!

Thirty meters!

In the blink of an eye, he transformed into a golden giant tens of meters tall, covered with Sanskrit characters!

His enormous body and face resembled a wrathful Buddha descended to earth!

However, this Buddha statue contains no compassion, only slaughter and destruction!

"Smash it!"

Bhadra, transformed into a golden giant, bent his legs slightly and then stomped heavily on the ground!

"Boom—!"

The entire Falling Star Valley was trembling violently, and countless boulders were swept into the sky by the violent air currents!

Bhadra's massive body soared into the sky. He raised his enormous golden right fist high and unleashed a powerful punch to meet the destructive dragon breath that descended upon him!

"Bang--!!!"

One big and one small, one up and one down!

Two world-destroying forces collided violently in mid-air without any fancy moves!

A brief pause.

What followed was a double disaster of sight and sound!

A deafening roar erupted!

The terrifying explosion transformed into a visible white sonic boom cloud, spreading in all directions!

The dazzling golden light of the dragon's breath clashed and devoured the dark golden light on Bhadra's fist, illuminating the entire night sky of Falling Star Valley as bright as day!

The violent recoil force actually caused the massive golden dragon Ike to stop its dive in mid-air, and it was even thrown backwards for dozens of meters!

Bhadra below was not having an easy time either!

His massive golden body was slammed downwards by the terrifying force of the dragon's breath!

A loud bang followed!

Bhadra's feet slammed into the hard rock below, sinking all the way to his knees!

"Aaaaaahh...

A violent rage surged within Bhadra's chest!

With his immense golden rage surging, he raised his head and let out a deafening roar!

The surrounding air vibrated under the impact of the sound waves.

A dazzling golden light erupted from his body, forcefully dispersing all the remaining dragon breath!

"That felt great! That felt so good!"

Bhadra pulled his legs, which were deeply embedded in the ground, patted the charred marks on his chest, and his eyes blazed with even more savagery. "What a pure-blooded dragon! Its physical strength... is impressive!"

In mid-air.

Domoko stood on the dragon's back, his eyes turning cold.

"He withstood Ike's dragon breath with his bare body? And... he was completely unharmed?"

Domoko tightened his grip on the dragon spear and grinned. "Interesting. Looks like I'll be able to loosen up my muscles properly today!"

"Thor!" Domoko shouted.

"clear!"

Thor, who had been standing behind Domoko, poised to strike, could no longer contain his anger and fighting spirit.

Thunder rumbled!

The once clear night sky was now covered by thick thunderclouds.

Thor raised Mjolnir high, and his entire body transformed into a blinding blue lightning bolt, leaping directly off the dragon's back!

With Thor's roar, hundreds of blue lightning bolts as thick as buckets crashed down from the thunderclouds above the sky, striking the golden giant below!

"Perfect timing!"

Bhadra neither dodged nor retreated; he crossed his arms in front of him, letting the thunderbolts strike his massive body relentlessly!

"Crackling and popping!"

Blinding sparks danced wildly across the golden skin, emitting ear-piercing crackles.

However, the violent lightning, powerful enough to blast a small mountain into dust, only left a few shallow white marks on Bhadra's body!

His physical defenses were terrifyingly powerful!

"Is that all you've got?!"

Bhadra laughed wildly as he thrust his enormous hand into the rock wall beside him, amidst the raging lightning.

"rise!"

With a loud shout, he forcefully ripped a huge rock weighing tens of tons off the mountain!

"Get the hell down here!"

Bhadra used his waist strength to smash the huge rock down hard towards Thor in mid-air!

The boulder crashed into the sky with a piercing whistling sound!

"Thunderstorm - Shatter!"

Thor remained expressionless, his warhammer bursting with dazzling lightning as he slammed it down on the boulder!

A deafening explosion!

The boulder was struck by a violent bolt of lightning in mid-air, shattering into countless fragments!

However, before Thor could even breathe a sigh of relief...

A massive golden figure had already appeared before him, using the rubble as cover!

"Too slow, brat!"

Bhadra's hideous face magnified rapidly in Thor's pupils.

The golden fist, carrying an aura of destruction, tore through the air and slammed into Thor's chest!

That's too fast!

It was so fast that Thor didn't even have time to make a defensive move!

At this critical moment!

"when--!!!"

A deafening clang of metal clashing rang out in mid-air!

A massive dragon spear, radiating dazzling holy light, appeared out of nowhere and blocked Bhadra's sure-kill punch!

The violent shockwave sent Thor flying!

"Anyone who wants to mess with me, have you even asked the gun in my hand?"

Domoko had somehow leaped off the dragon's back, gripping the dragon spear tightly with both hands, and stood in front of Thor.

Although his size was far smaller than that of Bhadra, who had transformed into a giant, Domoko's wild and domineering aura was no less impressive!

"Old man, you're quite strong!"
