Monkey King, incarnation of the monkey, protector of the dragon.
His ever-changing transformation techniques are his trademark. Proficient in immortal arts, he is a god with infinite divine power.
Although possessing the nature of a [Steel] War God, he is also a god skilled in spell.
With the right conditions, he can gain the power to destroy Campione from heaven and the stars. However, not all gods possess this ability; only a minority of Sword Gods with considerable authority and martial prowess have this Authority.
A blade of light cannot hit Sun Wukong when he enters the realm of Divine Speed… it cannot even scratch him. He can continuously and perilously evade light-speed attacks. Purely comparing speed, light is faster.
From the above, it's hard to imagine just how strong Sun Wukong truly is.
His cloud somersault of 108,000 li might not be a joke; it could be realizable here.
But that's just about speed. Whether it's true or not can be seen during the fight, because Sun Wukong can indeed enter the realm of Divine Speed!
"Haaah—!!"
Bang—!!!
With a long roar from Sun Wukong, his red long staff clashed against Kaito's polearm, and a battle capable of splitting mountains and cracking the earth directly began!
Kaito swung the Vortex Vanquisher in intense close-quarters combat with Sun Wukong.
Admittedly, Sun Wukong didn't know many martial arts, but his bold and unconstrained fighting style was enough to give many a headache. Facing Sun Wukong's innate divine strength, Kaito also found his own power somewhat suppressed.
Bang—!!
Thump thump thump thump—!!!
"Heh... It seems I underestimated you."
Using a transformation mist to dodge the Chains of Heaven's capture, Sun Wukong then split into ten clones attacking simultaneously.
During this time, Kaito calmly generated massive rocks one after another. After continuously blocking the attacks of Sun Wukong's clones, Kaito then activated the golden sword, turned, and slashed down.
In this completely unexpected move, a careless Sun Wukong had his clone Authority sealed.
From then on, he couldn't pluck hairs and summon clones to fight anymore.
"That sword of yours is quite dangerous."
"Not bad."
After a serious brief reply, Kaito directly summoned a large number of golden swords.
Although used as a trump card, whenever there was an opportunity, Kaito had to land a cut to seal one of his Authorities.
The duration might not be long, but it was enough!
"Hehe, this is old Sun's first time seeing such an arrogant person. Youngster, old Sun advises you not to be too full of yourself!"
"Like you weren't full of yourself back in the day!"
"Hahahaha! That's because old Sun had the capital to be arrogant. You, do you?"
"Whether I do or not, won't you find out soon enough?"
"Oh? Then let old Sun see where your confidence lies!!"
Rumble rumble—
Divine power released. Realizing that in a head-on contest he only held an advantage in strength, and that Kaito's martial skill was enough to give him trouble, he chose a more ferocious method of fighting!
Utilizing his domineering, steel-like body!
[Heaven and Earth Shaken, Swift Swift!]
Chanting the word of power, his body, originally around 160 cm tall, doubled in length, and naturally in width as well.
It looked like suddenly transforming from a skinny, slightly hunched monkey into a muscular giant.
Storing the red long staff back in his ear, he directly swung fists the size of sandbags, attacking Kaito.
Each punch carried the violent force enough to destroy a huge mountain.
Kaito wasn't foolish enough to engage in a fist-to-fist brawl with him. Instead, he continued using the Chains of Heaven to entangle him, constantly retreating and generating massive boulders to hurl at him.
Whether they could even scratch him, Kaito didn't know.
But given that even Sun Wukong didn't dare get caught by the Chains of Heaven, Kaito pinned his hopes on the Chains successfully captured Sun Wukong.
If they caught him just once, all of Sun Wukong's Authorities would be temporarily sealed, and he wouldn't be able to escape the Chains' for a short time.
At that point...
Kaito could completely take the opportunity to unleash Planet Befall.
If even that didn't work...
Then draw the anchor, directly pull out the Holy Lance and strike him!
Even the hardest steel couldn't withstand the Holy Lance's attack!
"Annoying, annoying! Is this the only trick you have!!?"
Sun Wukong continuously evaded the Chains of Heaven's pursuit, sometimes punching the air to open the Chains with the vibration.
By now, Sun Wukong's mentality was slightly explosive, and he was growing increasingly angry.
Apart from the initial face-to-face combat, Kaito simply refused to fight him head-on now, constantly retreating instead.
"In that case!"
[I am not the Monkey King. I am Heaven, the being that equals Heaven—. I am the Monkey King born from stone, with infinite divine power and ever-changing forms. I stole elixirs in the heavenly palace, coveted wine, stole peaches, displayed martial prowess, committed atrocities, showed evil! My surname is Sun, my name Wukong. I call myself Great Sage, Heaven's Equal!]
Bang—!!!
Manifesting his true form,
The muscular giant monkey version reverted to Sun Wukong's original heroic appearance, his fur becoming a very beautiful golden-orange color.
The famed "Handsome Monkey King" of the past might have been reflected in his heroic appearance and fur.
After Sun Wukong restored some of his strength, his speed increased, and his power became even fiercer.
From the power of shattering boulders with one punch, it became directly turned into dust.
Then, brutally and violently grabbing hold of a large number of Chains of Heaven, and, forcibly resisting their sealing power, he swung them aside!
"Hey! Don't run!!"
Roar—!!!
With a long roar, finally having an opening, Sun Wukong flickered and appeared before Kaito, then swung his even larger, blacker, shinier fist, wreathed in flames, fiercely towards Kaito's face!
"Really, that was dangerous!!"
With no escape, ten shields instantly appeared before Kaito, and as each shield was shattered, they were replenished!
"Seriously, this tortoise shell of yours!!"
"Don't say that, this is a renowned machine for raising useless people, you know~"
Slash—!!!
The golden sword, unknown to anyone, appeared from Sun Wukong's abdomen.
"!!!"
"When!?"
"Right when you swung your fist!"
"After all, when someone attacks with full force, they mostly ignore other perceptions, don't they?"
Pulling the golden sword out, letting it dissipate, numerous Chains of Heaven then appeared from all directions around the two.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh—!!
Sun Wukong was caught.
Unfortunately...
Sun Wukong possessed the Seventy-Two Transformations.
Kaito hadn't actually planned on successfully capturing Sun Wukong; he just silently layered another ten shields on himself.
"You!!!"
