After this, all members of the organization move outside with the goal of confronting the threats.Goo1 suggests dividing the members of the organization into two halves, each half having at least the equivalent of 500.But Goo3 objects, saying that this number will not be enough for an entity like Doo9, and adds:“If we assume that the being called ‘the Emperor’ killed a member of the organization — even a weak one — with great ease, that means we are also dealing with an entity no less dangerous than the Mad Demon.”

  Goo0 begins to think and says angrily: “Damn it! The first group will have only 150 members, and they will go with me to eliminate that one called ‘the Emperor’! As for the second group, they will have 850, and the leader of that group will be Goo2.”

  Goo3 is shocked by this strange choice and says:“Wh—anyone but that lunatic—”

  Goo0 tells him to shut up, saying they don’t have time to waste. He tells Goo1 that it would be better if he were the leader, but says he is in a critical situation, and orders that Goo7 and even the War Brothers — Goo6, Goo5, and Goo4 — will also go to the first group.

  Goo1 tells him that this is a suicidal idea, that there will be no strong person left except Goo2, and that this is not good at all.

  He tells him that Goo2 and the rest will handle it.

  The first group begins to move toward the Emperor and his army.

  Haru is surprised by the strange haste shown by the group’s commander.Goo4 tells him: “To be honest, I’ve never seen the commander in such a nervous and strange state. Usually, he’s calm and composed. He could have distributed the numbers much better and sent Goo1 as the leader instead of that lunatic Goo2. Anyway, let’s just hope everything will be fine.”

  At that time, in the second group, the others order them to stop, not to rush, and to wait. Everyone waits in their places and notices something strange — the cosmic capsules begin to disappear one after another. A dreadful energy is approaching closer and closer.

  At that moment, a terrifying red energy in the shape of a human screams in pain. Everyone is terrified by the sight of this horrifying aura. The Mad Demon appears, and it turns out he is just a child wearing the same clothes as them, but they notice something different — his body is bent, and he has a strange red rose on his back.

  Go17 starts laughing and says: “Is this really what they called a catastrophe?! He’s just a child!”

  The others curse, telling him to step back and remember what happened before, but Go17 doesn’t listen and says more recklessly: “Hey, boy! Stop playing the role of the demon and show your true self! Hm? Is that a hammer in your hand? Ah! So you’re a carpenter! I see, a carpen—”

  Before he can finish his words, half of his body is blown apart by the hammer — along with a distant galaxy.

  Everyone is shocked that Go17 does not regenerate.Go28 tells them in fear that Goo1 had explained to him that this energy gives them almost everything, even immortality, but there is one important thing: The only way to kill them is through the same energy — just like when it was mentioned that G999 had died — meaning that if they are struck by this demon, they will die.

  Doo9 tells them as he releases his terrifying aura: “What’s wrong, you rats?! Don’t you have anyone to face me?!”

  Go28 feels a fear he has never felt before. He turns around and says: “Commander, what’s should w—”

  He notices that the group’s commander is gone.Go28 asks in confusion : “Where is the commander?”

  He is told that the commander said he would rest.

  Go28 is shocked by this and says: “Re—what?!”

  Before he can finish his words, he turns around to find the demon standing in front of him, looking at him with terrifying eyes, and says:

  Looks like not a single one of you sheep dares to make a move. Well then... I'll begin.

  And he began a massacre toward the group in a horrific way.

  On the other front of the battlefield, the first division of the organization—under Goo0’s command—advanced confidently toward the Emperor and his army. The Emperor’s forces tried to influence the group, but to no avail. They were crushed with utter ease by the organization’s division.

  Goo0 reached the flagship and attempted to attack, but was blocked by a strange barrier surrounding the vessel. Enormous, bizarre creatures began emerging from the ship to defend it, yet the group cornered and destroyed them one after another.

  The group noticed something odd: the enemies were falling too easily—so easily that it felt suspicious. But before they could process it, the Emperor appeared aboard the ship.

  A crushing aura pressed down on all of them as he spoke: “To think my own army would fall at the hands of a pack of low?grade beings… Even some of my aides abandoned me and fled. Well, no matter.”

  The Emperor raised his hands, unleashing what was to come.Goo0 tried to shield them, but it was too late. Strange spheres materialized and wiped out half the division’s members in an instant.

  The Emperor said with complete coldness: “Now, it’s time to be crushed.”

  He descended upon the group mercilessly.G100 tried to strike but had his arm ripped off before he could react. The Emperor then blew his body apart with a single thunderous blow.

  Next, the Emperor lunged at go11—but he dodged the attacks. go11 tried to pierce the Emperor’s skin, yet the Emperor easily evaded and countered, sending go11 flying far away.

  The Emperor roared: “Is this all you have, you weaklings?!”

  Before he could unleash his power again, he was suppressed by the War Brothers. At that moment, Goo0 couldn’t comprehend what had gone wrong.

  Goo3 told him plainly : “You could have easily reduced losses if you’d just focused a little, organized the ranks, and led them properly. Now not only are we in a dire situation here, but the second division is also being wiped out by the Mad Demon. According to reports from one of the escapees from the second group… only seventy?five of them remain.”

  Goo0 was stunned by the absurd numbers on both fronts. He realized that if he had only focused, planned ahead, and not rushed in so recklessly—

  Collecting himself, Goo0 ordered:“Goo7 and Goo4—assist the second division.”

  Haru listened indifferently, while Goo4 replied sarcastically: “Aye aye, Leader!”

  As they left, Goo0 stepped toward the Emperor.“ I challenge you to a one?on?one duel!”

  The Emperor mocked him: “Very well—let’s see how long you last, you wretched being!”

  After this, on the other front of the battle, Go28 floated limbless, watching as corpses lay everywhere. The demon stood before him, gripping him by the neck, and said: “Wow! You gathered a whole army for me to fight… and I’m afraid even the fools I used to have for lunch and steal cells from were far stronger than this! Anyway, what about the rest? Will you all just stand still like this? Doing nothing?!”

  Before he could cut off Go28’s head, Go14 intervened, blocking the blow and sending the demon flying toward a distant planet. The demon staggered from the impact, but then found Go15 raining punches down on him.

  The demon began slicing through everything, cleaving the planet into pieces, but Go15 blocked the strike effortlessly. The demon tried to land a fatal blow on him, but Go15 blew from his mouth—which resembled pure energy—destroying half of the demon’s body.

  From below, Go14 appeared and unleashed a barrage of punches without stopping, though the demon soon sent him flying away.

  After that, Go14 was stunned to see that the fat one kept eating even during the battle.

  The demon gathered all his strength and appeared before them.Go14 told Go15 to use that move again, but Go15 showed him that his mouth had already exploded because of the energy charge he’d formed from it.

  Go14 grimaced in disgust and said: “I can’t believe it! Even in this state, you’re still eating!”

  But before the demon could lunge at them, Go65 (Rin) intervened, sending the demon far away.

  Then Rin tried to pull the demon to a distant place, but the demon remained unaffected. Instead, he grabbed Rin’s face and hurled him to a random spot, saying:“ How dare a bug stand in my way?!”

  Rin didn’t waste time; he lunged at the demon with all his strength. Rin used portals, enlarging his hands through them to crush the demon—but the demon easily dodged Rin’s attacks and landed blazing punches that sent parts of Rin flying effortlessly.

  Rin realized every strike from this demon was lethal, and that he had to avoid them at all costs.

  The battle continued at extreme speed. The two began breaking the speed of light by several levels, yet the demon attacked savagely and without mercy, while Go65 countered with skill and power. But it became clear the demon had the upper hand.

  Then, in the middle of the fight, he froze in place the moment he heard his grandfather’s voice. Rin realized they were now in front of his own world.

  The demon smiled a devilish smile and said: “So that’s how it is!”

  Rin tried to stop him, but the demon raised his hands and took control of Rin’s body. Rin tried to understand what was happening—but the demon didn’t wait. He directed Rin’s body toward his own hands, forcing him completely.

  Rin tried to resist, but it was useless. The demon aimed Rin’s hands toward the portals, forcing him to destroy his own world with those very hands.
