Boom!

Boros leaned forward and shot out like a bolt of lightning, the ground exploding beneath his feet. In an instant he appeared before Lucien, turned his body, and drove an elbow straight toward Lucien's face. The air in front of him twisted before he even arrived.

Ti seed to slow down, and this ti Lucien moved.

From head to toe his body began to transform into crystal, hard and translucent, taking the full force of Boros's attack head-on. The ground beneath them collapsed imdiately, and a violent storm of shockwaves swept across the area. The excitent on Boros's face slowly changed into disbelief.

Lucien did not move at all. The elbow struck his forehead, yet he did not even flinch, let alone bleed or show any damage.

"Pfft."

Lucien casually threw a punch.

Boros's chest was pierced clean through, the hole revealing the scenery behind him. A fan-shaped shockwave churned the sea, and a spiraling Great Might Heavenly Dragon roared into existence, tearing through the horizon and leaving a scar across the distant sky.

Scalding blood dripped into the abyss below. Boros staggered back a few steps, staring at the hole in his chest before raising his head again. His bloodshot eyes were filled with confusion and disbelief.

"Still very weak."

Lucien stood calmly above the abyss as if he had done nothing at all. His crystal body glowed faintly, and golden lightning flickered across its surface from ti to ti.

"You're making more and more excited."

The hole in Boros's chest healed instantly. He grinned fiercely as the energy inside his body began to compress and condense. Finally it gathered in his chest and burst outward as a massive beam of light, crushing the air like a galaxy and sweeping straight toward Lucien.

If that energy cannon were fired at a planet, it would pierce straight through it in seconds.

Facing the devastating beam, Lucien leaned forward and flew straight into it. It was like swimming against a flood, forcing his way through and splitting the light beam in half. A mont later his palm slamd into Boros's chest.

"How is that possible!"

Boros roared as his body exploded like a waterlon. Flesh and blood scattered everywhere, but they did not disappear. A core appeared in the center, and the shattered flesh wrapped around it again, rebuilding his body within a few breaths.

"Damn it!"

Fully restored, Boros roared once more. His entire body transford again as energy erupted outward, lightning spreading through the air like the end of the world.

anwhile Lucien stared quietly at his right hand. He might really have underestimated himself.

His life evolution had only just begun. His body was filled with an enormous amount of Ki, yet at first he could not control most of it. After the battle with Saitama, combined with days of ditation and cultivation, he had finally mastered it completely.

Now his normal state alone was already enough to crush Boros.

Could it be that his Life Evolution 1 was truly comparable to Super Saiyan 1?

If that was true, then he was strong now, unbelievably strong.

"teor Burst!"

Boros's roar snapped Lucien out of his thoughts. His aura surged again, rising far beyond its previous level. At that mont Boros looked like a god.

"This is the teor Burst state. I compress the energy inside my body to the absolute limit to gain speed and strength beyond my biological limits. My destructive power doubles, but the burden on my body is enormous. It consus a huge amount of energy and even shortens my lifespan."

Boros stared at Lucien with contempt, as if looking at an ant. In his mind, once he had sacrificed his lifespan for power, the result of this battle was already decided.

"Is this your full power?"

Lucien frowned slightly. Why did it still feel so weak compared to his Life Evolution 1? He had not even used his war music yet.

Inside Boros's body, the energy core moved rapidly, but Lucien could see it clearly.

He had always been wearing the X-ray glasses. They had simply transford into invisible contact lenses. Their function was still the sa, X-ray vision, able to change appearance freely, immune to water and fire, capable of self-repair and even one-click outfit changes.

To be honest, even if his life had not evolved, Lucien could have killed Boros easily. As long as that core was destroyed, Boros would die.

Now the gap between them was simply ridiculous.

Whoosh!

The atmosphere shattered again as Boros appeared in front of Lucien and launched a sweeping kick far more terrifying than before.

Lucien leaned back and dodged calmly. Explosions erupted continuously behind him, flattening the land into a vast plain. Boros roared and reacted instantly, his right leg crashing down again as if splitting the heavens and the earth.

Lucien remained completely relaxed. He stepped sideways, and a deep abyss appeared beneath Boros's feet while mountains rose and exploded in every direction.

"Great Might Heavenly Dragon!"

Lucien raised his right palm calmly. A divine dragon five hundred thousand ters long appeared behind him, stirring the entire atmosphere before slamming directly into Boros's chest.

Boros could not even hold on for a second. His body exploded again, and the dragon continued forward without slowing down, tearing across the land until it disappeared in the distance. When everything finally settled, a massive canyon stretched out before Lucien, bottomless and extending for countless kiloters.

Lucien had not aid at Boros's vitals. The scattered flesh and blood wrapped around the core once again and restored his body.

This ti Boros did not attack. He stood above the abyss and stared at Lucien with a complicated expression.

"Is this your true strength?"

Even though he could not believe it, Boros had to admit the truth. He had already lost. This was not an equal battle. The gap between them was far too large.

"No."

Lucien felt a little speechless. He had not even entered Life Evolution 1 yet, and his normal state had already crushed Boros. It was completely different from what he had expected.

He had thought Boros would at least force him to transform, but instead he had overestimated his opponent and underestimated himself.

It should have made him happy.

But when he thought about Saitama, Lucien suddenly understood how Boros felt right now.

"Can you let feel your true power?"

Boros fell silent for a mont. He no longer cared about life or death. He only wanted to witness the real strength of the man in front of him.

"Alright."

Lucien clenched his fists. Veins bulged across his arms and forehead as his aura began to rise continuously. Then he roared, and golden-white flas burst out around him. His hair stood upright, his eyebrows and pupils turned golden-white, and the atmosphere around him trembled violently.

Boros was blasted backward by the pressure waves, smashing through several mountains before digging his hands into the ground and forcing himself to stop. He raised his head and stared at Lucien in the sky, his face filled with horror.

This aura…

Boros felt sothing inside him collapse. The fortune teller had told him that a strong opponent existed here, soone who could fight him on equal terms. Equal terms? What equal terms?

The man in front of him could crush him with a single finger.

"Do you think I'm very strong?"

Lucien clenched his fists, the golden-white aura crackling across his body. In this form he looked like a god, both terrifying and flawless.

Boros said nothing.

"Actually, there's soone else on this planet who can crush just as easily as I crush you."

Lucien's words struck Boros like lightning, leaving him completely stunned.

"Life or death."

Lucien looked at him like a pitiful child, then shook his head. With a simple gesture he grabbed from a distance and forcibly pulled Boros's soul out of his body.

At the sa ti a sharp thorn extended from his tailbone and pierced straight into Boros's body. The flesh and blood were absorbed instantly, leaving only the core floating in the air.

The core was like a golden core, filled with enormous energy.

The tip of the thorn gently pierced it, and the energy inside was drained in an instant.

The difference between them was simply too great. Lucien did not even need to torture him or force him into fear. He could rip out his soul whenever he wanted.
