Neptune, the farthest planet from the sun among the eight planets of the Solar System, was the fourth largest in volu and the third largest in mass. It was more than four tis the size of Earth, and it lay 4.496 billion kiloters away from the sun. The planet was famous for having the strongest winds in the entire Solar System, reaching speeds of up to 2100 kiloters per hour.

It was a lifeless world, cold and silent, a place where no form of life could exist.

Yet today, it received two unexpected visitors.

Without any warning, Lucien and Theo suddenly appeared within a fluctuating range of frozen mountains. The temperature had already dropped far below one hundred degrees below zero, and even the air felt like knives cutting through the skin.

Just a mont ago, they had been sowhere else. In the next instant, they were standing on a dead planet, teleported here by the Ancient One.

"Are you a Darkness or a Reincarnator?"

Theo spoke calmly, as if the brutal environnt ant nothing to him. His Super Adaptation and Steel Body allowed him to survive anywhere, even in a vacuum. His body slowly began to change, his face returning to its original appearance as he stared directly at Lucien.

Lucien did not look surprised. His own body shifted as well, his physique adjusting while his appearance transford. It was not his real form, just a random change, but his face now looked completely different.

"It seems we are from the sa place."

Golden white flas ignited slowly across Lucien's body as he spread his hands. The cold around him instantly weakened, lting the frozen ground beneath his feet.

Theo's eyes turned dangerous. A white air pressure shield expanded and contracted around his fists again and again. Then, without warning, he punched forward.

The air shattered.

A series of violent cracking sounds exploded across the frozen mountains as the Tremor Tremor Fruit power surged toward Lucien like a tidal wave. The ground within a thousand kiloters collapsed instantly, the planet's surface breaking apart as if it had been struck by a god.

Lucien vanished at the sa ti.

The two figures collided like teors crashing into a planet.

Theo's right fist, wrapped in a dense white air pressure shield, ca down with terrifying force. The power behind it was far greater than Whitebeard's.

Lucien dodged at the last second and counterattacked imdiately. His leg shot forward with a violent roar, aid directly at Theo's ribs. Theo reacted instantly. His left hand created a strange magnetic force that slowed the attack, but Lucien's kick was too heavy. Theo was forced backward, his feet tearing deep trenches into the frozen ground before he was thrown away.

While flying backward, Theo raised his hand and waved it toward Lucien.

A distant mountain suddenly rose into the sky.

The massive peak blocked the entire horizon before crashing down toward Lucien. The ground split apart and countless rocks scattered everywhere.

Buzz.

A terrifying pressure spread in every direction.

Lucien exploded out of the collapsing mountain and rose into the air. His expression turned slightly serious as he stared down at Theo.

The golden white flas around him changed. They no longer burned violently but began to flow like liquid energy. His eyes turned golden. His eyebrows turned golden. Even his hair slowly turned golden white.

A terrifying wave of energy spread across Neptune.

Half of the planet began to tremble. Mountains rose. The frozen land cracked. The sky itself seed to shake under the pressure of Lucien's transformation.

Theo tilted his head slightly, his dark hair whipping violently in the raging air. His heart sank.

Lucien's aura had beco many tis stronger.

"Whoosh."

A violent current of air exploded.

Lucien descended like a falling teor.

Theo raised his left hand instantly. Layer after layer of air pressure shields stacked together, strengthened further by his telekinesis. When Lucien's fist and Theo's defense collided, the atmosphere between them was completely destroyed, forming a temporary vacuum zone.

The explosion that followed erased the sound itself.

The two disappeared.

"Air Quake."

A destructive force that could tear the heavens apart surged forward. Lucien imdiately activated Iron Body, Hardening, and Armant Haki while transforming into his crystal form. Even so, the power pierced through his defenses and slamd directly into his body.

It felt as if his heart had been crushed by a giant hand.

Blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

Lucien was blasted away and smashed violently into the ground. He crashed through multiple mountains before finally gripping the frozen earth with both hands, forcing himself to slow down. A deep canyon stretched behind him.

He stood up at the end of the gully, breathing heavily. His clothes were damaged, and his body looked slightly disheveled.

Lucien's expression darkened.

He was currently using Life Evolution 1. Aside from the defeat he suffered against Saitama, this was the first ti soone had pushed him this far again.

He stared at Theo, who stood calmly within multiple layers of invisible force fields.

A dangerous feeling slowly appeared in Lucien's heart.

There were always people stronger than you. Even among the strong, there were monsters.

Lucien's invincibility had been broken far sooner than he expected.

Crack.

Theo did not hesitate. The veins in his right arm bulged violently as the power of the Tremor Tremor Fruit combined with his telekinesis. The destructive force gathered around him grew more terrifying with every second.

Then it erupted.

The power surged toward Lucien like a raging flood that wanted to devour everything in its path.

Lucien clenched his fist and punched forward. Armant Haki exploded outward, forming a massive shockwave. When the two attacks collided, Lucien felt his internal organs twist violently. Blood rose in his throat, but he swallowed it down.

The mountains around them rose again as the ground warped under the pressure.

Lucien's figure suddenly blurred.

A dangerous aura appeared directly in front of Theo.

Theo reacted instantly. His air pressure shields expanded and blasted forward.

Lucien did not retreat.

His crystal fist smashed into the shield head on.

The explosion that followed felt like multiple nuclear bombs going off at once. The two of them continued to punch each other without stopping. Every impact shattered the ground behind them, leaving nothing intact for tens of thousands of kiloters.

The sky lit up like a divine dragon erging from the sea.

"Air Quake."

"Great Might Heavenly Dragon."

The two attacks collided again.

Half of Neptune shook violently. The atmosphere cracked like broken glass. Shockwaves spread endlessly across the planet as both of them continued fighting without stopping.

Theo spat blood but forced himself to remain standing. A new layer of air pressure shield ford beneath his foot, releasing a terrifying pressure that made Lucien's instincts scream.

Lucien responded instantly. His massive crystal leg burned with intense heat as the golden white flas expanded around him. Their legs collided with full force.

Bang.

The impact shook the entire planet.

teor like explosions spread across the surface. The atmosphere split open and a massive mushroom cloud ford, followed by several expanding rings of destruction that swept across the horizon.

Even in the center of such destruction, the two of them were still fighting.

Their battle had already spread across the entire eastern region of Neptune, yet neither of them showed any sign of stopping. The destruction only grew more intense with every second.

If this had been Earth, millions of people would have already died.

"teor Shower."

Theo climbed out of the ruined mountains, his body covered in blood but still terrifying. He raised both hands toward Lucien.

In the distant universe, countless teors were pulled toward Neptune. One after another, they entered the planet's orbit and began falling with blazing flas behind them.

Lucien climbed out from another ruined area and looked up at the burning sky. Without hesitation, he began kicking repeatedly.

Arashi kicks shot into the sky like a crimson storm.

Explosions filled the entire atmosphere as the teors were destroyed one after another. At the sa ti, Lucien rushed toward Theo again and the two collided once more. The ground around them twisted violently, rising and collapsing nonstop.

Both of them spat blood at the sa ti.

Lucien endured a brutal left hook from Theo.

Theo endured a brutal right hook from Lucien.

Neither of them fell.

Their foreheads smashed together like two falling teors. Both of them were dizzy for a mont, sitting on the ground while shaking their heads. Then they stood up again and continued fighting without hesitation.

"Air Quake."

"Great Might Heavenly Dragon."

The two ultimate attacks collided once more. A massive mushroom cloud ford, surrounded by six expanding rings of destruction. More than ten thousand kiloters of land shattered completely, yet the shockwaves still continued spreading outward.

When the dust finally began to settle, sothing terrifying appeared.

Hundreds of kiloters of mountains rose into the sky and transford into gigantic stone giants. Their enormous hands reached upward like pillars holding the heavens.

Lucien spat out the blood in his mouth. Then he slamd his hand into the ground and injected his soul into the earth itself.

The ground behind him began to shake violently.

Another massive giant rose from the earth, roaring toward the sky.

The cloud layer wrapped around both giants.

Then, with a world splitting explosion, the two sky sized fists collided.
