The defeat of Admiral Cold, Admiral Cy, and Admiral Atlanta had cleared the grand plaza, but the freezing, stagnant pressure choking Anipla Planet remained unchanged. The capital city was a landscape of shattered glass-ice, where the individual members of the two defense squads—Lam, Asadullah, Draz, Krodh, and Bayu, alongside Faizan, Saad, Nehal, Shoaib, and Muntahan—finally managed to regain their footing under the protective aura of the matriarch, Khamata.
Suddenly, a streak of frictionless cold sliced through the remaining structures. Admiral Meru, the slim, wire-thin warrior and childhood friend of the Duke, glided into the center of the ruins. His expression was a mixture of absolute grief and ancient, calculated malice. He looked at the unconscious form of Cy and the ash remnants of Cold.
"The Strongest Woman of the Current Era..." Meru whispered, his voice a low, frictionless hiss that didn't carry any sound vibrations. "An impressive title. But raw density cannot hit what it cannot touch."
Meru shifted his weight, vanishing into an untraceable blur of zero-friction speed. He didn't just slide across the ground; he was sliding through the air molecules themselves, aiming his twin concealed frost blades directly at Khamata's vital points from a completely uncalculable trajectory.
Before Khamata could even raise her hand to counter, a massive, jagged shadow dropped from the sky like a falling guillotine.
SHATTER!
A colossal, jagged Titan Hook attached to a heavy, rusted cosmic chain tore through the atmosphere, slamming directly into the exact coordinates where Meru was sliding. The sheer momentum of the hook didn't just stop Meru; it completely pinned his wire-thin body to the planetary crust, shattering his frictionless aura instantly.
Standing atop the chain was Kishan, the father of Khamata and the grandfather of the five brothers. He was an ancient, scarred powerhouse of the Khandaker Tribe, his eyes carrying the ruthless pragmatism of a bygone era of cosmic warfare.
"You're fast, little Icerian," Kishan growled, his deep voice carrying the rattle of iron. "But my hook has dragged down entire star systems from the void. A childhood friend of a coward is nothing to me."
With a single, violent yank of his weathered arms, Kishan ripped the Titan Hook backward. The specialized serrated barbs of the weapon tore through Meru's internal core, instantly killing the fourth Admiral and turning his remains into a scattering cloud of frozen dark-diamond shards. Meru was dead before he could even utter a final word to his King.
THE MENACE IN THE STARS
While the vanguard on the ground was being systematically executed, the true disaster was reaching its absolute maturity in the upper atmosphere.
High in the solar system, Admiral Freezer finally began to move his actual physical body. He was a creature of pure, conceptual frost—his skin a deep, pitch-black absolute zero that absorbed all surrounding starlight. He raised his lower right hand toward Anipla Planet, his core glowing with a terrifying, pulsing violet light that completely distorted the gravitational orbit of the neighboring moons.
He was preparing his ultimate attack: The Absolute Deletion Freeze. If fired, the blast wouldn't just freeze the surface; it would completely rewrite the atomic code of the entire solar system, converting every planet, star, and living organism into unmovable, static blocks of data ice.
"Die, variables," Freezer's voice boomed across the vacuum of space, vibrating directly into the skulls of Lam, Asadullah, Draz, Krodh, and Bayu down on the surface.
But before the violet energy could leave his palm, a streak of pure, blinding white light crossed the solar system. The speed of this streak was so absolute that it bypassed the concept of time itself, breaking through Freezer's localized gravitational field as if it didn't exist.
The white light solidified into a figure standing directly in front of the cosmic Admiral's face.
It was Mayer, the legendary G.O.D. of Speed. His aura didn't emit heat or electricity; it emitted "Motion." The sheer velocity of his arrival generated a kinetic back-pressure that prematurely detonated the outer layers of Freezer's gathering cosmic attack.
"You're moving a bit too slow for an Admiral, don't you think?" Mayer said, an arrogant, blinding smile flashing across his face as his eyes locked onto Freezer's giant form.
THE ENDGAME CONVERGENCE
Meanwhile, navigating the dark rifts of the multiverse, Frostera the Duke felt a sharp, agonizing rupture in his soul-link.
His eyes widened in sheer, unadulterated horror. Through his royal connection, the data flashed in his mind with brutal clarity: Cold, Cy, Atlanta, and Meru... all dead. Four out of his five legendary Admirals had been completely wiped out of existence in a matter of minutes by the defenders of Animan Planet.
"Monsters... all of them are monsters!" the Duke screamed, his absolute control over ice fluctuating wildly as his dark-green flames flared out in sheer desperation.
He realized he had nowhere left to run. His home universe was ash, his vanguard was annihilated, and his final Admiral was currently engaged in the upper atmosphere. Driven by pure, cornered-animal rage, the Duke turned his portal around. He wasn't running away anymore. He was heading straight back to the Anipla Solar System to put his own life on the line for a final, catastrophic clash.
Back in the dead, gray ruins of the Icerian Multiverse, the Five-Armed Man felt the sudden spatial shift. His central third eye blinked, tracking the trajectory of the Duke's desperate retreat.
A thin, vicious grin carved across his face. He casually hoisted his cosmic plunger over his lower right shoulder while his other four arms adjusted his cosmic drum and trident.
"The King is finally going to participate in his own funeral," the Five-Armed Man chuckled, his voice dropping into a deep, echoing tone of finality. "Let's go watch the data burn."
With a single step, the Five-Armed Man vanished into a red portal, pursuing the Duke straight toward the final battlefield.
CLIFFHANGER:
As Mayer engages Admiral Freezer in a light-speed battle that shakes the solar system, two massive cosmic entities—the desperate Duke and the tracking Five-Armed Man—are descending upon Anipla Planet simultaneously.
