"Captain… I know it might be inappropriate to say this, but I'm starting to think that Ultramen might not be that powerful compared to others in these multiverses," Gen said, taking a deep breath.
Dan was silent—he couldn't refute it.
"But it also shows me the potential for growth. If humans from Earth can reach that level, then so can we. We may not have Cosmos, but we have infinite energy. That might be enough!" Gen's eyes burned with determination.
"Indeed. We have our own advantages. We can't afford to stagnate," Dan nodded, the possibility of future growth igniting a spark in him as well.
"But we'll need to master atomic-scale control. Without that, we can't even begin to develop techniques of that caliber," Dan reminded him of the critical point.
In the Saint Seiya universe, Gold Saints could use Galaxian Explosion freely because they could compress its destructive force to the atomic level.
If humans could do it, then so could the Ultramen.

Marvel Universe
"Incredible… humans that can wield galaxy-destroying power. All-Father Odin, do you think you could do it?" The Ancient One asked with a smile.
But her fidgeting fan betrayed the unease she was trying to hide.
"In the past, I absolutely couldn't… but now, perhaps I have a chance," Odin said, glancing at his Odin Robes.
After fighting in them for so long, he had started to sense the immense power called Cosmos. It opened up a whole new path for him to grow stronger.
And after reading Sisyphus's explanation, he felt even more driven.
He vowed to master the power of the Odin Robes—to accomplish what Gold Saints could.
The Ancient One noticed his shifting expression but didn't question him further. If she wanted to destroy stars and galaxies, she would have to seek help from the Vishanti or other higher beings, and pay a much steeper price.

Dragon Ball Universe
"Dad, that Defteros guy is amazing... he actually has the power to destroy galaxies," Gohan said in awe.
"Yeah… I'd love to spar with him if we had time. But right now isn't the moment," Goku replied, scanning the area for energy signals.
"Damn it, where did those Xenomorphs take Tien and Krillin?! Why can't I sense their ki?!"
Goku was visibly anxious—desperate to locate his friends, but unable to detect either their energy or that of their captors.
"They must still be nearby. They couldn't have gotten far!" Yamcha said, scanning the area nervously.
The three continued their search.

Saint Seiya: The Lost Canvas Universe
Hades Castle
Aspros sneered after seeing the messages from Defteros and Sisyphus.
"My foolish little brother… Always copying me, aren't you? If you faced me, how far do you think your imitation powers would get? Heh…"
At the Blood Pool
"There shouldn't be any monsters left, right?" Sisyphus asked, scanning the surroundings.
"As long as my dimensional barrier hasn't been breached, there's no way anything got out," Defteros replied confidently.
Just as he spoke, Shion appeared beside them.
"I checked everything. No monsters escaped."
"No casualties," Dégel added as he approached, having just finished checking their personnel.
"In that case, we can—"
Just as Sisyphus was about to give the order to leave, he suddenly sensed something dangerous and immediately looked up—only to see a shadow falling from the sky.
BOOOOM!
Before they could react, the figure struck Shion with massive force, creating a huge crater and burying him inside.
"Urgh!!"
The sudden impact caused Shion to cough up blood.
"Shion!!"
"Who's there?!"
Everyone was shocked.
"I am Baloret, Star of Isolation," said the figure—a woman wearing a Surplice. She climbed off of Shion and looked coldly at the others.
"A Specter?!"
Sisyphus was stunned that a Specter would ambush them at this moment.
Suddenly, the environment shifted. Above them, three enormous eyes appeared.
When Defteros, Sisyphus, and Dégel looked at the eyes, they were instantly bombarded with searing rays of light.
"AAAHHHH!!"
All three screamed in agony—the pain was unbearable. Their entire bodies, every nerve, every cell, were being burned alive.
"Hahaha! Even Gold Saints are fragile when caught off guard. Impressive, isn't it? My Galactic Demon Eye – Flame Burial,"
Aiacos appeared behind them at some point, smirking arrogantly.
"That dimensional space earlier was annoying. I couldn't enter. But you just happened to remove it for me."
With that, Aiacos appeared behind Defteros and grabbed him by the waist.
"Your Galaxian Explosion… I saw it. Too dangerous. So I'll deal with you first!"
With a surge of power, he hurled Defteros high into the sky—so high he vanished from sight.
Then, Aiacos quickly moved to Sisyphus and Dégel, and while they were still overwhelmed by pain and disoriented, he threw them both into the air as well!
"Sisyphus! Dégel! Defteros!!"
Watching his comrades being tossed into the sky, Shion roared with fury and tried to get up to fight Aiacos.
But the next second, he found himself completely paralyzed.
No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move a finger.
"This is my Shadow Stitch. Made with tar from the Seventh Prison and the souls of the dead. Your shadow is now mine. You won't be moving," Baloret said smugly.
Then her Cosmos flared to terrifying levels!
"True Beast!!"
Unleashing her brute strength and Cosmos, Baloret charged like a wild animal and rammed into Shion.
BOOOOOM!!
The impact created a devastating shockwave that crushed the ground over a kilometer behind Shion!
Since he was immobilized and couldn't absorb the force by being thrown, he took the full brunt of her attack. His body cracked open, and blood spilled from the gaps in his Cloth.
BOOM BOOM BOOM!!
Meanwhile, the three Gold Saints that had been launched into the air crashed down violently, each creating massive craters. All of them were clearly badly injured.
"Hmph! So much for Gold Saints. They're nothing compared to Lord Aiacos," Baloret sneered at the sight of their battered bodies.
"Don't be so harsh, Baloret. Maybe they were already worn out from fighting the Blood Pool monsters. Or maybe… we're just too strong," Aiacos added with a mocking chuckle.
