"Let's start the battle of myths!"
Luo Hao snorted lightly, and mysterious syllables escaped her lips:
"Fight in the south of the city, die in the north of Guo, die in the wild. I am but a guest!"
Mighty King Kong Divine Skill — !!
As her voice fell, golden particles shimmered into existence around her, quickly condensing into two towering Vajra wrestlers, each twenty meters tall.
At first glance, they resembled the massive wooden constructs summoned by Hashirama Senju of the Naruto world.
But these were no mere copies—
They were true divine powers, usurped from the two Buddhist kings, Secret Vajra and Nalayan Strong King, during Luo Hao's past victories.
With this power alone, Luo Hao wielded both ultimate offense and impenetrable defense—
She could tear mountains apart with her bare hands, or block a magic sword that could cleave reality itself.
"First, let's test your strength and speed!"
With a surge of mana that crashed like tidal waves, the two Vajra wrestlers vanished—
Teleportation — Shrinking the Ground: Divine Foot Pass!
A supreme martial art Luo Hao mastered herself, allowing her true teleportation and godlike speed.
Appearing before Daemon in an instant, the golden giants swung their colossal palms in unison.
"Flying Phoenix Twelve Divine Palms— Danfeng Greets the Sun!"
Mana blazed into scorching flames, igniting the entire forest around them.
The two Vajra, one from the left, one from the right, stomped the earth as they unleashed Luo Hao's finest martial technique.
Daemon instantly understood:
He couldn't dodge.
Facing this flawless pincer attack, he realized the obvious truth—
Luo Hao wasn't simply powerful; she embodied the ultimate martial artist, a being who had honed her spirit, body, and mind to their very peaks.
A single move had sealed off all avenues of retreat.
Speed was meaningless now.
Without hesitation, Daemon roared and unleashed his true name:
Hercules' Belt!
The legend of Byrnndi World, the "World Breaker" who crushed the Giant Kingdom with the power of the Moa Moa no Mi, was sublimated into this Noble Phantasm—
Granting Daemon absolute speed and strength, enough to crush any opponent.
At once, Daemon's arms moved like lightning, grabbing forward.
BOOM —!!
The explosion shook even distant worlds, leaving the chat group members deafened through the screen.
Nearby, Uchiha Miyuki's face paled. Without a word, she grabbed Kasumigaoka Utaha's hand and retreated even farther away.
At the battlefield's heart, everything—forest, mountains, rocks, even the very ground within tens of kilometers—was annihilated instantly.
"What?!"
A shocked cry rang out—from the center of the battlefield itself.
In the stunned eyes of the spectators, Daemon had seized the towering Vajra wrestlers by their massive arms—
despite being a fraction of their size—and held them immobile.
Cracks spiderwebbed across the wrestlers' arms, visible even from afar.
Luo Hao staggered slightly; blood trickled from her own arms.
Even she, a god-slayer, couldn't completely resist the laws enforced by Daemon's Noble Phantasm.
To most observers, Daemon seemed to have gained the advantage.
But reality was different.
The earlier exclamation—
was Daemon's.
Because Luo Hao's next move was already in motion—seamless, merciless.
"The heavens are clear, the earth is at peace, humanity prospers!"
Dragon Roaring, Tiger Roaring Grand Technique — !!
Buzz —!!
A demonic gale erupted from the Vajra, exploding in a shockwave that smashed into Daemon's locked arms.
This was power Luo Hao had usurped by defeating the Hindu goddess of hymns, Gayatri.
Normally, her full chant would summon storms that could flatten nations.
But even a fragment of it, hastily invoked, summoned winds strong enough to level mountains.
She had already foreseen it—
In raw power and speed, Daemon would crush her.
Thus, she baited him into close combat with the Vajra Lux, only to spring her true attack at point-blank range!
Utaha Kasumigaoka, watching through the broadcast, clutched her hands tightly.
The chat group members held their breath.
Daemon, meanwhile, analyzed everything in a flash:
"She baited me into grabbing the Vajra Lux, knowing she'd lose in strength…
Only to blast me with the Dragon Roaring Tiger Roaring Dafa at close range."
His heart sank slightly at Luo Hao's ruthlessness.
Indeed, Daemon lacked defensive Noble Phantasms.
His strength was overwhelming, but his body was relatively fragile.
But—
"You've miscalculated, Sect Leader Luo Hao."
Daemon's eyes sharpened coldly.
People from the pirate world aren't afraid to trade injuries!
Without a second's hesitation, he hurled the two Vajra giants away, and at the same time, roared:
God Avoidance — !!
Zheng —!!
A flash of golden sword-light tore across the world.
A must-hit attack—ignoring time, space, defense, and evasion.
The ultimate slash—even a god cannot avoid it!
BOOM!
The demonic gale slammed into Daemon, smashing him backward like a rag doll.
Blood sprayed from his mouth; his ribs shattered audibly.
But at the same moment, Luo Hao—despite raising the Mighty King Kong Divine Skill as armor—
was sliced nearly in half.
Szzk—!!
A gory slash carved from her shoulder down to her waist, gushing blood like a fountain, dyeing the battlefield crimson.
Both Vajra wrestlers collapsed—
the sheer loss of mana and blood rendering Luo Hao unable to maintain them.
Esdeath: "A double knockout?"
Yamamoto Mei: "No! It's not over! These two aren't the type to fall from just that!"
Exactly.
This battle was far from over.
"Take advantage of her injuries—finish her off!"
Daemon wiped the blood from his mouth, ignoring the recovering Luo Hao in the distance.
His sharp gaze pierced the battlefield.
"A god-slayer who has survived for over two centuries… let me show you the power of inevitable decline!"
He roared:
"I am the Lord of Life and Death — !!"
Daemon's third Noble Phantasm —
Liberation!
