The battlefield raged on.
Suruthra, towering like a volcano brought to life, was the last being standing between the combined forces of eleven worlds and the end of the Final Tutorial. His colossal form loomed over them all, molten blood glowing through the cracks of his obsidian-like skin, flames licking off his sword as if alive. The fire giant had suffered thousands of attack, blades, magic, divine force, alien tech, demonic powers, and spiritual pressure, but he still stood, undaunted.
The army of flaming skeletons had long been reduced to charred ash and molten remains, scattered across the battlefield. What remained now was the true Final Trial: the annihilation of Suruthra, the 176th Son of Surtr, the High-Class Demon of Muspelheim in the Divine Tower.
And everyone was giving their all.
Luffy, bleeding but grinning, launched forward again in Gear Fourth, his fists a blur. "Gomu Gomu no—Kong Organ!" He hammered the fire giant's leg repeatedly, each hit causing eruptions of magma to explode from the ground, but Suruthra remained unmoved.
Zoro, using Enma, cut through Suruthra's molten thigh. "He's not regenerating fast—but his body's like molten steel."
Sanji, in his raid suit, flashed in from behind and delivered a Diable Jambe-enhanced kick. "The bigger they are, the harder they should fall!"
Whitebeard cracked the sky with his bisento, his quake fruit breaking reality itself with every swing. "Let's shake this bastard to pieces!"
From the sky, Marco flew with phoenix flames trailing, launching flame-enhanced healing waves to allies nearby, while Jozu barreled through flaming rubble, his diamond body crashing into Suruthra's shins.
Mihawk, watching the battlefield carefully, unsheathed Yoru and sliced horizontally from a great distance. The slash traveled hundreds of meters, crashing against Suruthra's chest like a black wave, cutting through molten armor and splattering lava.
In another section, Percy Jackson, drenched and glowing with divine power, summoned a tidal wave and rode it with Riptide in hand.
"Jason, now!"
Jason Grace called down a bolt of thunder, merging it with Percy's wave in a blinding flash of light and divine fury. The combined storm exploded against Suruthra's shoulder, staggering the giant just slightly.
Thalia fired arrow after arrow, each tipped with Olympian silver. Clarisse, screaming Ares' name, launched herself upward with her spear crackling. Frank, transformed into a roc, carried Hazel and Nico, the latter summoning ghosts to assault Suruthra's mind directly.
Bianca joined her brother, launching shadow tendrils into the cracks of Suruthra's body, trying to disrupt the energy inside.
"Keep hitting him! He bleeds fire, but he bleeds!" Nico shouted.
Gojo Satoru, calm and smiling, floated toward Suruthra's midsection. "Infinity." Everything halted before him as he raised one hand.
"Cursed Technique Reversal: Red."
A massive red sphere exploded, force so intense it crushed hundreds of meters of molten rock, driving Suruthra back several steps.
Yuta, Yuji, Nobara, and Megumi followed up with powerful cursed energy attacks. Aoi Todo, fists glowing, clapped his hands. "Boogie Woogie!" he teleported beside Suruthra's neck and unleashed a devastating blow to his jaw.
Ichigo, clad in Bankai and Hollow form, slashed from above.
"Tensa Zangetsu—Black Getsuga!" The black-red energy wave surged and carved deep into Suruthra's chest.
Byakuya activated Senbonzakura Kageyoshi, countless blades surrounding the fire giant's arm, slicing away.
Kenpachi, laughing, charged forward, "Don't die before I get to cut you!"
Rukia, with her Bankai, froze a chunk of Suruthra's leg. "His flames are resisting my ice, but I can slow him!"
Aizen, smirking, manipulated Suruthra's perception with Kyoka Suigetsu, and in that instant, Ulquiorra, Grimmjow, and Tier Harribel bombarded him with Cero after Cero. Starrk, in released form, rained spiritual wolves upon his head.
Yamamoto, flames to rival the sun, stepped forward.
"Ryūjin Jakka… Zanka no Tachi."
He thrust his burning blade through Suruthra's chest. Fire met fire, and the ground melted.
Asta, cloaked in anti-magic, leapt through the air with the Demon Slayer Sword. "I'll cut through everything!!"
He slashed down with anti-magic, tearing through Suruthra's chest, burning through even the demonic essence.
Yami, using Dark Cloaked Dimension Slash, aimed for Suruthra's shoulder. "Here's a taste of my katana, big guy."
Noelle, with her Valkyrie armor, soared in a stream of water and magic. "Sea Dragon's Roar!" It collided with Suruthra's waist, sending a shockwave through the magma.
Netero prayed quietly. "Thank you… for allowing me to reach this far." His Guanyin statue struck Suruthra's forehead a thousand times in one second, blinding speed and divine precision.
Gon, in his adult form, hurled himself into Suruthra's abdomen, followed by Killua's god-speed lightning strikes.
Kurapika, eyes crimson, wrapped chains of judgment around Suruthra's arm. "He can bleed. So he can be bound."
Chrollo, Hisoka, and even Meruem, for once, coordinated to strike simultaneously.
Naruto and Sasuke, once enemies, fought side by side again.
"Let's go!" Naruto yelled in Six Paths Sage Mode.
Sasuke's Rinnegan glowed. "Amaterasu—Inferno Style: Flame Control!"
Naruto's Rasenshuriken combined with Sasuke's black flames, creating a spiraling storm of destruction. It exploded into Suruthra's face.
Tsunade punched through molten debris, followed by Gaara's sand crushing Suruthra's foot and Onoki's Dust Release atomizing pieces of his shoulder.
The battlefield lay in ruins.
Bones of the flaming skeleton army had been crushed, scattered, melted. Ash choked the air like fog. The shattered earth was carved with canyons of fire, rivers of lava, craters gouged by divine strikes, magical detonations, and cosmic power. Thousands had fought together, and now the only thing left between them and the path ahead—was Suruthra.
The colossus still stood tall.
Ten stories high, body a writhing storm of molten rock and fire. Smoke spiraled from his joints. His blade, half-submerged in magma, pulsed with fire runes. But what terrified the many warriors, gods, and mages surrounding him wasn't just his power—but that he hadn't even stumbled yet.
Suruthra laughed. His voice was a tidal wave of heat and thunder.
"Not bad. But do you think that alone is enough to pass the Final Tutorial?"
His flaming sword ignited again, and with a single upward swing, it sliced the clouds above and ignited the sky.
Sofia soared into the air, both blades glimmering with sacred mana. She flew in tandem with Hargaan and Niva. Behind them, Ben, now in XLR8 form, zipped up the giant's back like a blur of blue energy, launching an electrified strike at his neck.
Suruthra turned his head slightly. Lava hardened across his skin like armor.
Ben's attack barely singed the surface.
"Futile," Suruthra muttered, and swung his massive hand backward. The backhand collided with Ben in a flaming arc, sending him flying. His body tumbled like a comet, only to be caught mid-air by Thor (DXD) and Superman.
But the attack gave the others time.
From the ground, Gojo Satoru activated Limitless, pinning Suruthra's feet in warped space. "Now!" he barked.
From below, Asta came charging in anti-magic mode, leaping off a makeshift rock platform conjured by Tsuchikage Onoki. His Demon-Destroyer Sword cleaved through Suruthra's Fire Shield.
The shield splintered. Flames exploded in protest. But Asta's anti-magic blade sliced a burning gash along Suruthra's shin. The magma giant roared—not in pain, but acknowledgment.
"Impressive," he growled, stomping down.
The ground erupted in Ground Spikes, massive jagged pillars of lava-encrusted rock surging toward the sky. Naruto in Sage Mode grabbed Hinata and dodged. Sakura shattered a spike with a chakra-powered punch. Killua zipped through them in godspeed mode, while Yoruichi transformed into lightning and cut clean through the rising wall.
One spike almost impaled Tatsumi before Akame dashed in front of him, slicing it in half in a blink.
"Focus," she said. "He's not just strong, he's adapting."
High in the air, Ichigo charged his Getsuga Tenshō while Byakuya unleashed thousands of Senbonzakura petals around Suruthra's upper body. Ulquiorra flew from above, firing a Cero Oscuras at Suruthra's face, causing a massive explosion of fire and smoke. But from that cloud of destruction, Suruthra emerged—unfazed.
"Lava Generate," he said, and molten lava began to seep from his joints and coat his blade.
[Skill: Lava Generate]
His temperature skyrocketed. The air shimmered. Everyone backed off as his presence became almost unbearable.

Lucius Zogratis, the Wizard King, turned to Julius's assistant. "The battlefield's mana density just spiked."
"Too dangerous to approach directly," she said, "unless we synchronize our barriers."
Sirzechs began condensing his destruction magic into a spear. Beside him, Gabriel formed a divine light blade, and Thor (DXD) summoned a lightning storm to channel into his hammer.
Below, Netero summoned his Guanyin Bodhisattva and began launching a flurry of strikes toward Suruthra's limbs.
Each hit chipped a bit of magma, but the fire giant of Muspelheim regenerated with each blow.
[Skill: Regeneration
Rank: Epic
Effect: Healing injuries all over your body.]
Trafalgar Law used his Room to teleport a massive bomb directly inside Suruthra's chest, but the giant's Fire Shield dampened the blast.
Then, a warning.
[Skill Activated: Collosal Fire]
The air shifted. Suruthra raised his sword and brought it down.
An explosion erupted across 100 meters. Dozens of heroes and warriors were blown back, many forced to throw up shields or counterattacks just to survive.
Zoro used his Nine-Sword Style to cut a path through the explosion, while Grimmjow protected Nelliel with a shockwave of raw Reiatsu. Frank Zhang transformed into an elephant to shield Hazel. Rias Gremory erected a Power of Destruction dome around her peerage. Shikamaru, groaning, used his shadows to pull Hinata and Choji to safety.
"Too many attacks like that and we'll be out of this fight before it starts," said Cyclops, firing a precision optic beam to cover Kento Nanami's approach.
Suruthra laughed again. "Let me show you what real despair feels like."
[Skill Activated: Meteor Shower]
In the heavens above, fiery cracks opened. Meteors began falling—massive, molten boulders screamed through the sky.
Every magic user went to work.
Makarov, Fuegoleon, Mereoleona, Megumi, and Sakura worked together, firing counters into the sky.
Doctor Strange floated high above and chanted a spell, erecting a mirror shield to deflect a massive meteor into another. Yamamoto, finally stepping forward, raised Ryūjin Jakka and whispered: "Bankai."
The temperature doubled as the ground scorched under his feet.
"Zanka no Tachi."
He raised the sword and a wall of pure solar flame engulfed the next meteor entirely, reducing it to nothing.
Meanwhile, Sofia surged forward again, both swords spinning like divine propellers, slicing molten chunks off Suruthra's knees. Hargaan, golden aura flaring, leapt into the air and speared into Suruthra's shoulder.
A gout of lava exploded.
Hargaan was nearly consumed, but Marco of the Whitebeard pirates caught him mid-air, Phoenix flames healing his burns.
"We'll keep healing, you keep fighting," Marco said.
Gojo created a pocket of safe space as Mei Mei and Nobara attacked with projectiles and cursed hammers, keeping the lava flows from reaching Naruto, Sasuke, and Vali.
Vali, floating in his full armor, narrowed his eyes. "Too much defense."
Issei stood beside him, Boosted Gear glowing. "Then let's overload him."
"DIVINE DIVIDING!"
"BOOST! BOOST! BOOST!"
Vali began stealing Suruthra's power. Issei began boosting his own. A massive red and white beam exploded from their combined location.
It struck Suruthra's stomach—cracking through his lava armor.
Rukia and Hitsugaya synchronized their ice to freeze the exposed section. Esdeath stepped in and solidified the zone into a block of Absolute Zero.
Then came Akame, flashing through the ice like a reaper.
One slash from Murasame. Black veins surged up Suruthra's torso from the cut, trying to poison him.
He staggered.
A beat.
Then lava burst from his chest and burned away the corruption.
He grinned. "You're pushing me. Good."
"Now, everyone!" Luffy shouted, Gear Fifth activated, hair blazing white, jumping through the battlefield with Toon Force freedom.
He stretched his arms wide.
Gon, now transformed, punched with all his power.
Gojo removed his Limitless.
Ichigo went full Vasto Lorde form.
Asta let loose an Anti-Magic Slash.
The Gotei 13, Espada, Magic Knights, Jonin, Hunters, Hunters' Association, Avengers, Justice League, and DXD's strongest—all launched their ultimate moves in synchrony.
One final blast of full unified power.
Suruthra, roaring in defiance, raised his sword and tried to counter.
The entire battlefield turned white.
Silence.
Smoke billowed from the broken ground. The lava dried. The sky slowly began to clear.
Suruthra was on his knees. His blade broken.
Cracks spiderwebbed across his chest. From his molten body, light poured out—pure light, not fire.
He smiled.
"I see now... This generation... may truly reach the top."
He crumbled. Slowly, his body of fire and rock collapsed into ash.
The Divine Tower's voice echoed above.
[Final Tutorial Complete.]
[Congratulations. You have survived the Annihilation.]
[Your Score has been recorded.]
[Your Rewards will be distributed.]
[Prepare for Entry into the Divine Tower.]
Everyone stood in stunned silence.
They had done it.
Suruthra, 176th son of Surtr, had fallen.
But ahead… lay the real journey. The Divine Tower awaited.
And none of them would be the same again.
