The Realm of Nothingness — Divine Skill Activated!!!
In Kairos Flint's hands, the power of the Void Slate surged forth.
In an instant, a strange force expanded outward, enveloping the entire area.
His ship—the Mythical Sky—was swallowed within the shimmering field of emptiness.
Moments later, Kaido's dragon breath crashed down from above.
But the moment the roaring attack touched the boundaries of Kairos's Realm of Nothingness—
It visibly dissolved into thin air, completely erased.
That devastating move?
To Kairos Flint?
Utterly harmless.
It was as if Kaido's strike had never existed.
Or perhaps—
Kairos never took the attack seriously in the first place.
At the very least, he knew the weight of his own power.
This was just Kaido.
Even if there were two Kaidos, he'd still suppress them.
Why?
Because his true god-level physique decided the outcome long before the fight began.
"What's the matter, Kaido? Didn't eat your fill today?"
Kairos taunted with a calm, mocking smile.
The Realm of Nothingness.
A divine skill, wielded through the Void Slate, that nullifies all enemy attacks—be they elemental, physical, or even projectile.
Bullets. Blades. Fire. Wind.
All of it—erased the moment it enters the realm.
However, there was a cost.
The stronger the enemy's attack, the more stamina Kairos had to burn to sustain the nullification.
Of course, if the enemy's power vastly surpassed his limits, he wouldn't be able to erase it.
But...
Kairos didn't believe such an enemy existed—not yet.
He had pushed his powers too far, advanced too quickly, and combined too many abilities for anyone to easily overcome him.
To think someone could invalidate his Realm of Nothingness?
That was laughable.
"You cocky brat! Blocking one attack and already puffing your chest?"
Kaido growled, irritation creeping into his voice.
Sure, his earlier breath attack had been neutralized.
But Kairos's casual dismissal of it?
That rubbed Kaido the wrong way.
It wasn't just taunting—it was a direct insult to his power.
"Bad Wind!!!"
Kaido's massive dragon jaws parted again, and a storm of wind blades surged toward Kairos.
Thousands of slicing gusts, tearing through the sky—each one strong enough to cut stone and crush steel.
Any ordinary opponent, even a Vice Admiral, would be shredded by the sheer volume and ferocity of the attack.
But against the Realm of Nothingness?
Useless.
The blades touched the shimmering boundary around Kairos's ship—and simply vanished.
One after another, the deadly barrage dissolved like mist.
Not a single gust made it through.
Kaido's attacks? Rendered meaningless.
A total waste of strength.
"No need to test the waters anymore, Kaido," Kairos said flatly.
"You came all this way yourself. If I let you walk away unscathed, wouldn't that make me a joke?"
"So…"
"Kaido—prepare to die."
Kairos's voice turned cold, his eyes locked onto the dragon above him with burning killing intent.
He was here for one thing: Kaido's ability crystal.
A top-tier epic reward, fitting for a creature as mighty as this.
That thought alone made the flames of battle surge through his blood.
"Kill me?!"
Kaido roared, laughing with disdain.
"You're arrogant beyond words!"
"The world calls you the Bounty King… some call you the God-Slayer…"
"But to me? You're nothing!"
"My head? You think you can take it?"
"Come on then! Try it!"
Kaido wasn't just boasting.
He had ruled the New World for years. He'd faced gods, monsters, and armies.
A young upstart—even one as powerful as Kairos—wasn't enough to shake him.
If he cowered now, he'd become a laughingstock.
Hearing this, Kairos gave a thin smile.
"Alright then," he said quietly.
"I'll take it myself."
BOOM!!!
A thunderous roar echoed—
Kairos vanished from his ship in a blink of an eye.
The next moment, his figure reappeared right in front of Kaido's massive dragon form.
His weapon—the upgraded Third Generation Kitetsu, now a Supreme Grade Blade—was already drawn and gleaming with power.
Overlord's Haki crackled along the blade.
"One-Sword Style — Autumn Equinox!"
Slash!!!
A single devastating cut swept through the air—and a deep wound opened across Kaido's scaled torso.
His defense was legendary.
But Kairos?
Was no ordinary warrior.
His body had reached the true god level, his sword had evolved to supreme sharpness, and his Overlord Haki had fused perfectly into his attacks.
This wasn't just a sword strike.
It was a divine-level slash powered by godly physique, devastating haki, and a top-tier weapon.
Even Kaido couldn't fully block it.
Though his Mythical Zoan powers gave him extreme durability, this attack broke through his defense and forced him to bleed.
Still…
"That all you've got, kid?"
Kaido grinned through the pain, mocking as blood trickled from the wound.
"Didn't you eat today?"
He flung the same words back at Kairos—unshaken.
