The Mangekyō Sharingan in Leo’s right eye activated swiftly, and with it, a fully-formed *Susanoo* with orange-red wings appeared, stunning everyone, including Star-Lord and the others.
Standing at 150 meters tall, *Susanoo* towered over the *Milano* ship.
“Oh, sh*t! What the hell is that? Does magic like this actually exist?” Star-Lord, seated at the cockpit, stared at the colossal figure, his eyes wide with disbelief.
Rocket, in the co-pilot seat, wore a similarly astonished expression. “You know, it reminds me of the Kree Empire’s super war machine—the Kree Sentinel. You know, those hundred-meter-tall giants.”
Even Gamora and Nebula, who were more familiar with Leo, exchanged surprised glances. Wanda, however, remained calm, as she had already seen this technique in the special training space aboard their ship.
With a flap of its wings, Leo controlled *Susanoo*, sending it hurtling toward the *Dark Aster* at incredible speed. He hadn’t immediately activated the full three-headed, six-armed form because, while he could maintain *Susanoo* for a long time due to the Nine-Tails chakra acting as a converter, his *Golden Core* energy was limited. He needed to save that for crucial moments.
“What is that?”
The Kree pilots, flying their smaller ghost ships around the *Dark Aster*, were bewildered when they saw *Susanoo* speeding toward them.
But soon enough, they adjusted their course, flying straight at Leo and firing high-energy blasts in his direction. Anything not aligned with the *Dark Aster* was the enemy.
“Yata Mirror!”
Leo raised *Susanoo*’s left arm, forming a massive chakra shield with the Yata Mirror to block most of the incoming attacks. Any stray energy blasts that weren’t deflected were absorbed by *Susanoo*’s external armor.
One of the advantages of a complete *Susanoo* was its ability to fully defend against attacks from all angles, as long as the energy wasn’t overwhelmingly stronger and there was sufficient chakra. This level of defense couldn’t be matched by even a highly durable physical body.
Even though Leo’s body was extraordinarily strong, tanking the firepower of so many ships would only be sustainable for so long—especially in the vacuum of space, which posed its own challenges. Vulnerable spots like the eyes, ears, and other soft tissues were at risk.
This was no simple terrestrial battlefield. The advanced weaponry of spacefaring civilizations was capable of annihilating entire planets.
“Slash! Slash! Slash!”
After fending off the initial barrage of attacks, Leo maneuvered *Susanoo* into range of the ghost ships. Wielding the enormous *Totsuka Blade*, he struck down ship after ship in a series of blindingly fast movements, slicing through them as if they were made of paper.
Though primarily a sealing sword, the *Totsuka Blade* was still a sword. Its raw cutting power was devastating.
Leo, encased in *Susanoo* like an unstoppable war god, cut through the fleet of ghost ships, rapidly closing in on the *Dark Aster*.
He could have used *Apparition* to teleport directly near the *Dark Aster* and snuck aboard to assassinate Ronan and take out his crew one by one, but he chose not to.
Today’s battle was a statement—he wanted to establish his reputation in the universe, to make his name and that of the Guardians of the Galaxy known far and wide. This display of raw power would serve as a warning to other galactic factions, ensuring they would think twice before crossing him in the future.
Someone who could take on the *Dark Aster* single-handedly and emerge victorious would be feared. Even if the Kree Empire discovered he had killed Ronan, they would likely hesitate to seek revenge. It simply wouldn’t be worth the risk.
Moreover, it would prevent the Nova Corps from going back on their promise and trying to claim the *Dark Aster* for themselves after the battle.
In the future, when Leo traveled to other planets, his name would carry weight, sparing him unnecessary trouble.
…
Inside the control room of the *Dark Aster*, Ronan sat on his throne, holding his Kree war hammer, watching as his forces decimated the Nova Corps troops stationed on TS-214.
Suddenly, one of his Centurions called out, “My Lord, an unknown high-energy entity is approaching from the right! The ghost ships can’t hold it back!”
“Put the feed on-screen,” Ronan ordered with a frown.
A holographic display appeared in the center of the control room, showing Leo in *Susanoo*, effortlessly slicing through the ghost ships as he sped toward the *Dark Aster*.
“What is that thing? Could it be some sort of god from this planet?”
Ronan mused aloud. Many planets with intelligent life birthed gods of various forms, each with unique abilities. But most were not strong enough to withstand a single shot from the *Dark Aster*’s main cannon.
Even the Kree homeworld of Hala had its own god, though it was largely symbolic. The Kree placed their faith in the Supreme Intelligence, a creation of their own making.
TS-214 had its own god too—a giant four-winged bird, nearly 100 meters tall, which had fought alongside the Nova Corps when the battle first started. It had destroyed several ghost ships before the *Dark Aster* obliterated it with a single shot from its main cannon.
“How long until the main cannon is ready to fire again?” Ronan asked coldly.
“My Lord, the cannon has finished cooling and is ready to fire,” a crew member responded.
“Then what are you waiting for? Destroy it!”
A black, 100-meter-wide barrel extended from the right side of the *Dark Aster*, aligning with *Susanoo* and beginning to charge.
Seeing the cannon lock onto him, Leo flapped *Susanoo*’s wings, quickly adjusting his position in an attempt to avoid the blast.
However, the cannon’s targeting system followed his movements, tracking him seamlessly as it slid along the side of the *Dark Aster*, ensuring a perfect shot.
“Well, let’s see if I can withstand this!”
Realizing there was no escape, Leo decided to test his limits by facing the blast head-on. If he wanted to assert dominance, it had to be a total display of overwhelming power.
He wasn’t being reckless—his instincts gave him a clear sense of danger. The energy gathering in the cannon felt threatening, but not life-threatening. He was confident he could handle it.
“Three-Headed, Six-Armed Form!”
Combining his *Golden Core* energy with chakra, Leo activated Sage Mode. His right eye’s Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan spun rapidly, and *Susanoo* expanded to a massive 300-meter form with three heads and six arms. His left eye, now transformed into a golden Rinnegan, gleamed with power.
“Flying Sword Technique—Sword Wheel Defense!”
A massive circular sword wheel formed from the flying swords behind Leo, spinning rapidly in front of him as a shield.
“Boom!”
An immense, destructive energy erupted from the *Dark Aster*’s cannon, hurtling directly toward Leo and his sword wheel defense.
