The human spectators roar with cheers!

Even in this desperate situation,

his defiance against the gods unites humanity!

I love how positive this guy is.

Don't give up because you never know what will happen in the end.

Go for it, Sister Göndul.

Still,

the problem is how to break through that shield, isn't it?

It's rather troublesome.

Tesla, battered and bruised, is mustering all his remaining strength

to take on Beelzebub!

Here I come.

Whoa! Tesla's full-powered right is completely blocked by Beelzebub!

If one punch doesn't do it…

What? Followed by a left?

…then I'll keep on punching!

Plasma Pulse Punch Möbius!

PROGRESS

He's fast.

I can't see any gaps between his punches and pullbacks.

Extraordinary.

Could this be… No way!

Will Beelzebub strike back from that position?

Or will he focus entirely on defense?

Tesla, this is a big gamble.

There's no chance to counter!

Without even a moment to breathe, Tesla strikes again and again!

It won't stop!

Nikola Tesla's onslaught just won't stop!

Is he planning to smash through Beelzebub's shield head-on?

There's no way he can keep that kind of barrage going.

The moment his strength runs out and he stops,

Beelzebub will tear him apart.

You seem to have a lot of faith in Beelzebub.

What?

In that state, even Beelzebub…

He can't just keep generating vibrations

to defend himself forever.

Don't you lose, Beelzebub!

If you go and die, then I'll kill you!

Go for it, Tesla!

Keep going!

Just a little longer! A bit longer and you'll win!

Hang in there, Tesla!

Hold on, Beelzebub!

If that human scum runs out of steam, it's your win!

This is really heating up.

Nikola.

Such a beautiful radiance.

Will it be the spear of Nikola Tesla, humanity's greatest scientist?

Or the shield of Beelzebub, the most malevolent god of Helheim?

Will it break through or be repelled?

The clash of gods against humanity sends sparks flying!

Behold, science is going toe-to-toe with a god.

Our trials and errors weren't in vain, were they?

Go, Tesla. Prove it.

Our science and our pride

can even reach the gods!

The Lord of the Flies, Beelzebub,

sacrifices his own body to seize victory.

Nikola Tesla, humanity's only magician,

aims to surpass the gods with science.

The one to reach their limit first…

is Nikola Tesla.

Is this the damage I took from that technique?

The vibrations seem to have caused significant damage deep within my body.

The shockwaves I neutralized were just a byproduct.

The moment I touched that spherical vibration,

I must have been affected by the vibration itself.

Just like I thought, this battle

is fascinating.

The barrage…

It stopped.

No!

It's over!

The time has come.

Plasma Pulse Punch Jet!

Sorath Samekh!

I thank you, god.

Science is now

evolving!

His arm

vanished?

This guy is something else.

He teleported his right arm on its own.

A right fist comes from behind.

At the same time, a left fist approaches from the front.

In other words, it's an unavoidable pincer attack.

Plasma Pulse Punch Cross!

Did you figure it out?

I thought it was a good idea, but I guess I was naive.

It seems you were one step ahead of me.

No, I simply trusted…

that someone like you

would never resort to a mere contest of strength.

I'm honored.

Nikola!

Humanity,

raise your heads!

In this battle, we have evolved one step further.

As long as we never give up,

science and humanity

will never

be finished!

Sister Göndul.

Nikola.

Humanity, look forward.

Humanity, never stop!

Humanity,

humanity,

humanity!

Keep striving for progress!

The winner…

of Ragnarok round eight

is the Lord of the Flies, Beelzebub!

Hades,

once again,

you got in my way.

BEELZEBUB VS. NIKOLA TESLA TIME: 18 MINUTES, 6 SECONDS

WINNING ATTACK: SORATH RESH WINNER: BEELZEBUB

Nikola Tesla's last-ditch magic couldn't beat Beelzebub.

Round eight is a decisive victory for the gods!

But that human was seriously strong, wasn't he?

Yeah, he lived up to his name, "humanity's magician," in that battle.

And yet, Beelzebub completely dominated.

That guy really is incredible.

Well done, Beelzebub!

I've got new respect for you, you gloomy jerk!

I always believed you'd pull through when it counted!

They've changed their tune, huh?

Gods and humans aren't very different.

Nor am I.

Tell me, what did you think,

Hades?

Beelzebub managed to win in the end,

but it was a close call.

Indeed.

That Plasma Pulse Punch Cross was a terrifying technique.

Right! That was the final move Tesla unleashed.

What the heck was it?

Even I, the God of War, couldn't make sense of it.

Not one bit.

Yes, even I didn't see it coming at all.

To think he'd teleport his own arm.

He teleported his arm?

At that moment,

Tesla launched a Plasma Pulse Punch with his right fist,

and just before it hit Beelzebub's shield,

he teleported that right fist to the rear of Beelzebub

while throwing a Plasma Pulse Punch with his left fist at the same time.

In other words,

by throwing Plasma Pulse Punches from the front and back simultaneously,

he created an unavoidable pincer attack.

That's likely what the technique was meant to do.

He probably used that reckless barrage

to buy time and secure a teleportation position.

Incredible.

That truly was an attack

that surpassed the imagination of the gods.

Even I was utterly shocked.

You were shocked too, Father?

If it wasn't for Beelzebub,

we wouldn't have stood a chance.

What a truly terrifying fellow.

The Plasma Pulse Punch Cross

was truly an incredible technique.

He used every function of that suit, and brilliantly so.

That's not all.

The right arm he teleported was aimed precisely at his formidable foe.

What was that technique based on?

The Tesla Particles most likely drew both his fists together.

But to think he kept a technique like that hidden from us.

No.

Tesla probably thought up that technique in the heat of the battle,

then perfected and unleashed it.

I suspect he saw how that god who manipulates vibrations

sacrificed his own body to fight.

Learning from what he saw, he pushed himself to his own limits

to fully utilize his own powers.

He continued to pursue progress until the very end.

Nikola Tesla truly is the greatest scientist ever.

Darn it.

That research-obsessed, overly optimistic fool.

Edison.

Even in death, he lit a spark in our hearts.

He truly is meddlesome!

Back to research, everyone.

We don't have time to stand still!

We'll keep advancing science.

That's the legacy

of the greatest scientist in human history, Nikola Tesla!

Let's move forward!

Forward to the future!

Sister Göndul.

Sister Göndul.

She was smiling at the end.

She had such a serene look on her face.

She and Tesla were both smiling.

Isn't that right, big sis?

Sis?

With Beelzebub's victory, the gods and humanity

both have four wins.

It's even once again.

What kind of fierce battle awaits in round nine?

Gods and humans alike, tremble with anticipation!

Joy.

Love.

Pride.

Justice.

Passion.

Innocence.

Dignity.

And…

progress.

They really were…

they really were magnificent warriors.

You know,

every time I come to see you, you're always crying, Lil' Bu.

Honestly, I'm surprised.

I didn't expect someone wrapped up in worldly desires to be so sentimental.

You disappear from your hospital room of your own accord,

and now you're taking a nap in someone else's room, Buddha?

There was something I really wanted to ask you, Lil' Bu.

So I showed up.

What is it?

It's about your ex-boyfriend, Siegfried.

He's been locked up in Tartarus for quite a while, hasn't he?

Is there some kind of connection between Ragnarok and your ex, Lil' Sieg--

No.

There isn't.

Oh, come on, playing dumb won't help--

Sieg…

is not my ex-boyfriend.

I need to prepare for the next battle.

Please excuse me.

No…

Seriously?

Lil' Bu,

you're way too hung up on your teenage drama, aren't you?

HELHEIM

TARTARUS

It seems Beelzebub won round eight.

Well, that's no surprise.

It's a fight even Hades would lose.

Could humanity's strength be reaching an unimaginable level?

Right? Four wins and four losses is crazy.

What? Four wins and four losses?

So that's how it turned out?

Amazing.

Nobody could've predicted this, right?

Since you are half-human, half-god,

who are you rooting for in Ragnarok?

That's a tough question.

It's a little hard to answer given my position, you know?

What the heck? Just give me a straight answer!

Wait a second!

Talking to him is strictly forbidden.

Yikes, you're right. That was stupid!

Hey, come on, let's chat a bit more.

Shut up!

Don't you dare talk to me again!

Man, it's boring here.

Still, though… I see.

She's really giving it her all.

But I wonder if she's really okay.

She seems so put-together,

but she's got a habit of pushing herself too hard.

Don't overdo it… Hilde.

SIEGFRIED
