Hawkins's downfall once again confirmed the despair-inducing chasm between mortals and "gods."
Satan Saint's cold, emotionless eyes, like precise hands of death, slowly turned towards "Mad Monk" Urouge.
At this moment, Urouge's massive body had accumulated many injuries, yet they only served to heighten his imposing aura—this was the manifestation of his Karma-Karma Fruit ability, transforming received damage into a massive increase in strength and size.
"Hahahaha… It seems this old monk has encountered truly great 'karma' today!"
Urouge looked at the miserable state of Law, Kid, and others in the distance, and instead of fear, his face showed an almost fanatical fighting spirit.
His colossal body, having absorbed the damage from previous battles, swelled further, muscles bulging like rocks, resembling an enraged Vajra statue towering over the heavens.
He firmly believed that as long as the opponent's attack couldn't instantly annihilate him, he could transform this "evil cause" into an even stronger "good result"!
"Come and try it, see if your 'evil cause' can crush this monk's cultivation!"
Urouge's voice boomed like a great bell; he didn't dodge but instead took large strides forward, causing the ground to tremble.
He swung his gigantic fist, like a massive pillar, brimming with surging power, charging directly at Satan Saint's spider form!
This was the core of his ability: trading injury for power, growing stronger with each battle!
Facing this seemingly foolish yet uniquely rules-bound frontal challenge, Satan Saint's spider form emitted a low, indecipherable hiss, a sound that seemed to carry a hint of… disdain for this logic.
Just as Urouge's colossal fist, capable of shattering cliffs, was about to strike, one of Satan Saint's forelegs moved.
This strike was without any trickery, without any strange ability fluctuations, only the most extreme, purest, and most primal strength and speed, striking later but arriving first, meeting Urouge's fist head-on!
Boom!!!
The instant the fist and leg collided, what erupted was not the clang of metal, but a duller, more terrifying roar of flesh and energy collapsing!
Urouge's fanatical fighting spirit instantly froze, then was replaced by extreme pain and disbelief.
He felt an incomprehensible, unbearable colossal force, as if the entire Reverse Mountain had crashed down, savagely surging through his arm and into his entire body!
His renowned transformation mechanism completely failed in the face of this absolute power disparity!
The speed of damage conversion simply couldn't keep up with the speed at which his body was being destroyed!
It was like pouring water into a cup, which could normally accumulate slowly, but Satan Saint's strike was like instantly unleashing an entire ocean—the cup would only shatter instantly!
"Urgh, ahhh—!"
Urouge's swollen, colossal body let out a groan of unbearable strain, like a punctured balloon.
His thick arm emitted a bone-chilling sound of bones shattering, and his massive physique rapidly shrank and reverted at a visible speed!
The terrifying backlash from his ability being forcefully interrupted, coupled with the devastating damage caused by the strike itself, made blood spurt from all seven of his orifices simultaneously.
His massive body, like a golden mountain collapsing and a jade pillar toppling, crashed to his knees, finally slamming heavily onto the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
He tried to look up at the terrifying figure that still stood, unharmed, the last light in his eyes being shattered belief.
"He's that strong?!"
