NOVEL NEXT Chapter 4: Chapter 4: The Final Collision
The battles in this chaotic, multiversal battlefield raged on with no sign of slowing. Every corner of the world seemed to be shaking, with the very earth quaking under the weight of every powerful clash. Each fight was more than just a personal vendetta—it was a conflict for survival, for the future of all realities. New warriors entered the fray, and new alliances formed. The line between heroes and villains blurred as multiverse-wide stakes began to take shape.
The Arena of Destruction
First, the devastating battle between Sukuna and Shigaraki escalated. Shigaraki's decaying touch sent ripples through the battlefield, crumbling buildings and tearing apart everything in his path. He reveled in the destruction, grinning madly as Sukuna's malevolent aura flared. But Sukuna wasn't just any ordinary villain—his cursed energy was a force to be reckoned with. The King of Curses, standing tall among the debris, unleashed his full power, manipulating his Domain Expansion—Malevolent Shrine—to erase everything in its vicinity. A brutal tug-of-war ensued between the two, one fighting with sheer destructive intent, the other with the certainty of an ancient evil.
Nearby, Gojo found himself caught between two titans, Sukuna and Shigaraki. He had just barely recovered from Sukuna's overwhelming force when the villainous hand of Shigaraki reached out, decaying a part of the city beneath his feet. The chaos around him seemed endless, and Gojo's instinct to protect the others took over.
But the fight between Denji and Katana Man continued with ferocity. Denji, in his Chainsaw Man form, revved his chainsaw loudly, hacking through the air. Katana Man was swift, wielding his katana with near-precision, his movements deadly as he countered Denji's brute force with calculated slashes. The ground beneath them exploded with every strike, but Denji was relentless, his bloodlust overpowering all other senses. Itadori Yuji and Todo Aoi had their own battle with Hanami, whose body shifted and morphed into grotesque forms. Itadori's cursed energy flared, clashing with Hanami's monstrous power. Todo's cursed techniques combined with his immense physical strength made him a formidable force, but Hanami's ability to regenerate and grow new appendages only fueled the intensity of their battle.
And then, Saitama stood ready to face Boros. The moment Boros attacked, his energy seemed to rend the air. Goku and Vegeta joined the fray, their powerful punches and energy blasts creating shockwaves that affected the fabric of reality itself. Broly, the Legendary Super Saiyan, was like a force of nature, fighting on par with the might of Goku and Vegeta, his monstrous strength causing the ground beneath them to shatter with each attack. The entire area trembled under the pressure of their battle.
Meanwhile, Eren Yeager, now in his War Hammer Titan form, locked eyes with his enemy, another titan—War-Hammer Titan—and the two colossal creatures collided with a deafening boom. Their fight was one of sheer willpower, the force of their strikes causing the very air to heat up and warp. Their fists collided, causing shockwaves that obliterated the nearby landscape.
Even more chaos unfolded as the ground shook under the impact of Tanjiro Kamado and Tengen Uzui fighting Gyutaro, the Upper Rank Six demon. Gyutaro's grotesque form lashed out with deadly precision, but Tanjiro's Water Breathing techniques and Tengen's Sound Breathing were a perfect counter to the demon's onslaught. As Gyutaro retaliated with his blade, the clash between them tore the battlefield apart. But neither of the demon slayers were backing down.
As Yamamoto and Yhwach continued their world-altering clash, Ichigo and Ulquiorra exchanged blows, their swords colliding with such force that the very atmosphere seemed to vibrate. Ichigo's Zangetsu clashed against Ulquiorra's Murciélago, and the raw energy that came from their strikes had the power to level cities. Ulquiorra's Cero Oscuras hit the earth like a nuclear explosion, sending debris flying, only for Ichigo to retaliate with his Getsuga Tenshō.
Elsewhere, the multiverse warred on.
Kurapika fought with relentless determination against Uvogin. Kurapika's Chains were a sight to behold as they whistled through the air, trying to restrain the Zoldyck family's brute-force fighter. Uvogin's immense strength made every clash sound like an explosion, but Kurapika was driven by a singular purpose: vengeance.
Jiraiya faced off with Pain, the god-like being who had torn his village apart. Their battle was a clash of ideals as much as it was of power. Jiraiya's Sage Mode gave him an immense boost, but Pain's Six Paths kept him on his toes. The ground shifted beneath them as they exchanged devastating jutsu, each strike leaving craters and deep scars in the terrain.
In the midst of this, another battle raged between Ash-Greninja and Mega-Sceptile. Their movements were so swift that they blurred, their elemental powers shifting the wind with every move. Ash's bond with Greninja was unbreakable, as was his resolve, but Mega-Sceptile countered with brutal force and precision. It was a dance of nature's most primal energies, each one aiming to overcome the other.
The Arrival of Heroes and Villains
Then, the skies themselves seemed to open in response to the carnage.
From one rift emerged Superman, flying high above the battlefield, his eyes glowing with intense heat as he charged up his heat vision. His arrival immediately shifted the balance, and his first strike vaporized several miles of debris as he collided with Shigaraki, who was attempting to decay everything in his path. The battle between them was one of raw power versus decimation. Superman punched Shigaraki through several buildings, but the villain's power was not to be underestimated.
Not far behind him, Wonder Woman, Batman, and Aquaman emerged from the chaos. Wonder Woman's Lasso of Truth ensnared Sukuna, forcing him to struggle, while Batman launched a barrage of explosive Batarangs toward Gojo, aiming to disrupt the sorcerer's concentration. Aquaman clashed with Abomination, and though the monstrous creature was stronger, Aquaman's trident struck hard, throwing Abomination back with the force of a tidal wave.
Then, from the shadows emerged Lex Luthor, Darkseid, and Brainiac—villains of unimaginable power. They knew that in a battle this immense, only one side could be victorious. Darkseid's Omega Beams clashed against Saitama's nonchalant expression as they collided, the beams of pure energy dissipating against his unflinching strength. Lex Luthor began rallying the forces of the Legion of Doom, calling forth his arsenal of high-tech weaponry and tactical brilliance. Brainiac and his drones joined the fray, attacking from the skies with advanced technology.
On the Marvel side, Doctor Doom appeared next, his face cold as he conjured magical barriers to protect himself from Goku's relentless energy blasts. Thanos, with the full power of the Infinity Gauntlet, stood at the forefront, his eyes burning with the hunger for power. His first move was to summon the full might of the gauntlet, erasing chunks of reality with each snap of his fingers.
But the heroes were not unprepared.
Captain America, leading the Avengers, was the first to charge, his shield striking against Thanos's gauntlet. Thor, wielding Stormbreaker, cracked open the sky with lightning as he flew headlong into the heart of battle, smashing down on Shigaraki with the power of the gods themselves. Iron Man brought his full arsenal to bear, blasting through the air with an array of missiles, laser beams, and tech that rivaled even the gods themselves.
Doctor Strange opened portals to different dimensions, bringing in Wolverine, Spider-Man, and Black Panther, who immediately engaged in brutal, fast-paced fights against the forces of evil. Deadpool joined the fray, chaos and humor in equal measure, as he dueled with an unkillable Ulquiorra.
In the distance, the clashing battles were so intense that the very air seemed to twist, and the world seemed on the brink of collapse.
