Stacking his Second Form on top of the 100x Ki Burst meant only one thing.

Caelum’s power would increase a thousandfold.

In other words...

His normal battle power was 300 billion.

At full power, it reached 300 trillion.

That put him twenty percent above Hawkeamps.

A gap this massive was more than enough for complete domination.

Boom boom boom!

The two figures clashed violently across the galaxy. Every collision unleashed shockwaves powerful enough to obliterate entire star systems in an instant.

Within moments, the North Galaxy, the primary battlefield, had already become a wasteland.

North Kai Planet.

North Kai trembled helplessly, his face pale.

Clutching his head as he collapsed onto the ground, he looked utterly defeated.

"It’s over... it’s over..."

"The North Galaxy is finished!"

"No... not just the North Galaxy. The entire universe is going to be destroyed!"

Supreme Kai Realm.

Rumble!

The terrifying energy from Caelum and Hawkeamps not only shook the Sumeru Road, but had already reached the Supreme Kai Realm itself. The entire divine realm trembled violently.

Supreme Kai looked just as hopeless as North Kai.

He had always believed the galaxy would eventually fall because of Caelum.

What he never expected was for it to happen this soon.

Calling it a surprise would be wrong.

This was a complete nightmare.

Inside the crystal sphere, planets across the galaxy were vanishing at an unbelievable rate. At this pace, the entire galaxy would soon go dark.

Supreme Kai’s body shook as he watched helplessly.

"If those two keep fighting like this... forget the galaxy. Even the Sumeru Road and the Supreme Kai Realm won’t survive."

Was there really no higher god than him?

The thought surfaced instinctively.

Of course there was.

Unfortunately, Xien had no ability to interfere in this battle.

Just watching it already filled him with dread.

If he recklessly entered the battlefield, a stray shockwave alone would kill him instantly.

Thankfully...

Caelum held the overwhelming advantage.

"Stellar Supernova Barrage!"

Boom boom boom!

Countless massive energy spheres filled the starry sky as Caelum unleashed a relentless bombardment toward Hawkeamps.

Hawkeamps dodged every attack at incredible speed while entire sections of the galaxy behind him were erased from existence.

Whoosh!

Hawkeamps instantly teleported behind Caelum and smashed down with a heavy strike.

But the attack passed straight through him.

Caelum’s afterimage slowly faded away.

Afterimage Fist.

For the first time in a long while, Caelum used the technique again.

Unfortunately, Hawkeamps had already seen similar techniques in other universes. He even possessed comparable skills himself.

He wasn’t easy to fool.

Buzz!

His reaction was immediate.

Spinning around instantly, a blazing cross shaped light erupted from his palm as he fired without hesitation.

"Galaxy Cross Flash!"

Boom!

Hawkeamps reacted correctly and fast enough.

The problem was simple.

His power wasn’t enough.

The Galaxy Cross Flash collided directly with Caelum’s fist.

Instantly...

Boom!

Caelum crushed the attack head on with unstoppable force before his fist slammed directly into Hawkeamps’ face, sending him flying across the galaxy.

Every planet along the trajectory was annihilated.

[Super Drop Rate Triggered]

[Obtained Bloodline: Perfected Super Cells]

[Integrate?]

[Integrate]

Neither Hawkeamps nor Dr. Sidarco possessed Absorption.

What they used was merely a method capable of absorbing cells, memories, and ki from others.

After traversing countless universes, Hawkeamps had absorbed an immeasurable number of unique cells, allowing his Super Cells to evolve into their ultimate perfected state.

That was the true source of his overwhelming power.

Compared to him, Caelum’s Ultimate Cells were still inferior.

His current strength had not come purely from the development of his cells.

He simply hadn’t pushed them to Hawkeamps’ ultimate level.

But from this moment onward...

Caelum’s Ultimate Cells would surpass Hawkeamps’ Perfected Super Cells.

The Perfected Super Cells fused into Caelum’s Ultimate Cells, driving them into an unprecedented evolution.

Boundless power surged from within him as his aura exploded upward once again.

400 trillion!

500 trillion!

600 trillion!

800 trillion!

1000 trillion!

2000 trillion!

5000 trillion!

[Integration Complete]

[Ultimate Cells evolved into Perfected Ultimate Cells]

[Battle Power Increased]

[Battle Power: 5000 trillion]

Rumble!

At that moment, the entire Seventh Universe trembled violently.

Even the incredibly durable universal barrier cracked apart the instant Caelum’s aura swept across it.

"What incredible power!"

Caelum couldn’t hide his excitement.

Even he hadn’t expected the fusion with the Perfected Super Cells to raise his strength to such a horrifying level.

5000 trillion battle power.

More importantly, now that his Ultimate Cells had fully evolved, Caelum himself had entered a perfected state.

Which meant...

This form could now be maintained permanently.

He no longer needed transformations or Ki Burst techniques to unleash his full strength.

His perfected state was both his normal state...

and his full power.

"What the hell happened?!"

Xien stared in complete disbelief.

He couldn’t understand what had happened to Caelum.

Why had his battle power suddenly exploded to such an absurd level?

This was 5000 trillion battle power!

At that moment, Xien realized something horrifying.

He had personally created a monster even more terrifying than Hawkeamps.

A being powerful enough to stand above all twelve universes.

The overwhelming aura swept across the galaxy.

Countless stars instantly went dark.

On a distant planet...

Knox sensed the terrifying energy spreading through space. Before he could even react, the shockwave swept past and his planet was instantly reduced to cosmic dust.

Later, while standing in line along the Sumeru Road, he heard countless souls from across the galaxy talking about the catastrophe currently unfolding.

People were already calling it...

The Galactic Blackout Incident.

Knox could only stare blankly.

In the end, all the complicated thoughts in his mind became a single exhausted sigh.

"...Sigh."

Thinking back to Derek and Guy’s absurd track record, he honestly didn’t know what to say anymore.

Before, he never believed in bad luck.

But after surviving the Red Star Incident and now witnessing the Galactic Blackout Incident...

He felt maybe some things really were cursed.

Those two were walking disasters.

Every game they entered eventually collapsed.

It was unbelievable.

Up ahead, King Yama stared at the glowing halo above Derek’s head in astonishment.

He recognized this human Martial Artist.

After all, North Kai had specifically mentioned him before.

"You died again already? Didn’t I just reincarnate you?"

"..."

Derek had nothing to say.

Honestly, he didn’t even know how he died.

He had only just restarted on some random planet.

One blink later...

and he was back on the Sumeru Road.

"...Unlucky."
