Chapter 1181: Is This Where This Old Man's Journey Ends?!
"Kongo: Arrow!"
"Roaring Thunder Bagua!!"
"Conqueror of the Three Worlds: Ragnarok!!!"
Before he knew it, Kaido sobered up from his drunken state, and his surging strength decreased accordingly.
However, in the previous clash, he had further severely injured Deltodo, the God of Oaths and Covenants.
But with Zufmut, the God of Vastness and Order, providing cover, he was unable to deliver the final blow.
Dunken completely ignored them, fighting Kaido on his own.
Sometimes he would even curse loudly, complaining that they were interfering with him and telling them to get lost!
This was actually because Zufmut and Deltodo hadn't fully controlled their suddenly surging power.
They cooperated well with each other, but it was difficult for them to keep up with Dunken's pace.
As for Dunken, he didn't want to cooperate with them, keeping a sour expression the whole time, and even deliberately staggering his attack timing.
Although this resulted in a continuous offensive against Kaido.
It was still much better than dealing with the combined strength of the three gods.
This was also one of the reasons why Kaido, despite looking battered, was actually in relatively good condition.
Despite this, the three gods, Dunken, Zufmut, and Deltodo, were incredibly shocked by the combat power Kaido displayed.
Incredible strength, lightning-fast speed, miraculous evasion, unbelievable defense, and seemingly inexhaustible stamina...
He clearly had no divine power fluctuations, yet he was unbelievably strong!
Despite Dunken's constant muttering.
But he knew very well that without the other two gods keeping him occupied, his chances of winning against Kaido were very small.
Let alone forcing him into a desperate situation like this.
As for Zufmut and Deltodo, their current strength was temporary.
In their normal state, they had no qualification to participate in this combat.
[Dong!!!]
The Kanabo wreathed in purple lightning and the Axe-Hammer burning with flame heavily collided.
Powerful Haki and scorching divine power fiercely clashed.
Ultimately, just like before, they both flew back amidst the explosive energy.
But just as Zufmut and Deltodo teamed up to attack Kaido again.
The panting figure of the latter suddenly paused, his fierce dragon eyes wide, gripping the Kanabo handle tightly with both hands, his aura also erupting abnormally.
This made the two gods realize that Kaido was about to unleash some powerful technique.
"Let's take down one first!"
Kaido realized he couldn't drag this out any longer. He definitely couldn't defeat three Chief Gods.
Of course, two were also difficult.
But even if he died here, he had to take one down with him.
So he directly consumed a large amount of stamina to gather terrifying strength onto the Kanabo in his hand.
This was pure physical strength, known as the Elbaf Spear of the Giant Tribe!
On this basis, Kaido also poured his Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki into it.
"Might of the Nation!!!"
In an instant, Kaido, with a standard hitting motion, fiercely swung the Kanabo in his hand, which contained enough power to shatter the earth.
[Boom————————]
Immediately, a shockwave, visible to the naked eye but so fast that even Chief Gods found it difficult to dodge, distorted the surrounding void and directly rushed towards Zufmut and Deltodo.
A feeling they hadn't experienced for hundreds of years instantly rose in the two gods' hearts.
The fear of death!
If this attack hit, they would die. They immediately realized this.
Zufmut, the God of Vastness and Order, followed his survival instinct.
He no longer thought about team-up defense, nor did he have any intention of protecting his companion, and immediately prepared to flash away and dodge.
As for what would happen to Deltodo, who was more severely injured?
He could only hope for the best.
But just as Zufmut was about to move, he suddenly felt a force at his waist preventing him.
He subconsciously looked down and found it was a silver chain.
Immediately, Zufmut understood.
"You!!!"
But just as he was about to turn his head to glare at Deltodo.
He was actually thrown out by the chain at his waist.
"No!!!"
At this moment, Zufmut felt as if space-time was slowing down, watching the shockwave get closer and closer.
[Boom——————]
The Might of the Nation's shockwave flashed past, engulfing Zufmut, and at the same time, forming a 'white air column' in the air with an estimated diameter of nearly a thousand kilometers, splitting the cloud layer along the way.
"Deltodo, doesn't this count as violating the covenant?"
Dunken looked at Deltodo, who had barely dodged the shockwave in the nick of time by borrowing his strength, and asked in a deep voice.
Just now, a chain flew towards him.
Having known each other for many years, he naturally didn't mind helping out.
Moreover, the thinking time was too short, and he didn't think too much, directly pulling hard and saving the other party's life.
"Of course not, Zufmut didn't die by my hand. Just now I was just helping him accelerate his approach, but I didn't expect the power of that technique to be so terrifying. It's truly regrettable."
Deltodo argued with a blank expression.
The covenant power seemed to approve of his statement and did not punish him.
However, since the covenant subject was dead, the power generated by the covenant would naturally disappear with him.
Deltodo's aura began to decline at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This also made his already pale expression due to pain become even more deathly pale and greenish.
However, Deltodo felt it was worth it to exchange temporarily obtained strength for a chance of survival.
"Mr. Dunken, you can now have a one-on-one duel with him, please."
The God of Oaths and Covenants forced a difficult smile.
"Of course, if you are willing to sign a covenant with me, your strength should improve further."
"However, the range of improvement will be difficult to be as large as it was for us before, after all, you are already very powerful."
As soon as these words came out, the scene fell into dead silence, and the atmosphere became incredibly heavy.
Kaido on the opposite side could no longer suppress his panting chest, and his body was covered in large and small scars.
Although the recovery speed of Animal-Type Ability Users is very fast, it still requires a certain amount of time.
And this period of time would seem exceptionally long in combat at the Admiral Level.
Dunken's strength was already stronger than the current Kaido.
If he were even stronger, even just a little, it would be enough to bring an overwhelming advantage.
"No need!"
Under Kaido's gaze, Dunken firmly refused.
This made Deltodo's expression turn ashen, cursing inwardly.
"Lord Kaido, This Old Man is very ashamed, very ashamed!"
"But This Old Man is after all a deity of this world, with the responsibilities of protecting this world!"
"So I must act now and defeat you!"
Dunken raised the Axe-Hammer in his hand, its light illuminating this night sky, and said with incomparable resolve.
"Worororo~~~~"
Kaido heard this and laughed wildly, tilting his head back.
At the same time, enduring his full-body fatigue and severe pain, he also raised the Kanabo in his hand high.
"This Old Man always has the resolve to die at any time! This is true combat!"
[Boom! Boom!]
As soon as the words fell, Kaido and Dunken almost simultaneously erupted.
Amidst the deafening sonic boom, they appeared at the center as if by teleportation.
The weapons in their hands, imbued with Haki and divine power, once again collided head-on.
[Dong!!!!]
Amidst countless electric flashes and flames, within a range of ten kilometers.
Under the outpouring of world-shattering strength, all the air was pushed out, forming a temporary vacuum zone.
Deltodo, also a Chief God, once again felt the gaze of death.
He immediately transformed into a silver-white escape light and fled outwards for his life.
On Kaido and Dunken's side, unexpectedly, Dunken was actually sent flying!
"What?"
Dunken felt his numb hands, his pupils trembling violently in his eyes.
He couldn't understand where the current Kaido got this surge of strength from?
Right, just now, he seemed to have seen a fleeting blue electric light between the purple and black-red lightning...
But looking back now, there was no blue electric light on Kaido's Kanabo at all.
And he spat out blood again, clearly his injuries were already very severe.
If Kaido were given some time, he might recover quickly.
But Dunken couldn't give him that time.
"Sorry, Lord Kaido, we need to use you to restrain the World Government!"
Dunken roared sharply.
The divine power on his body erupted further, the crimson radiance illuminating the entire great sea.
The excessively scorching high temperature even turned the sky into a sea of fire.
"This is This Old Man's full-strength attack, and also the highest respect from the God of Flame and Forging to Your Lordship!"
Dunken's figure was already submerged by the excessively bright light.
In the void, a huge fireball with a diameter of hundreds of meters first appeared.
Then the fireball quickly transformed into a gigantic flame axe-hammer.
It smashed down fiercely towards Kaido's location with great momentum.
The flame on the surface of the hammerhead was no longer orange-red, but a whitish-blue color.
Although there was still a considerable distance from Kaido.
Kaido could still feel the scorching heat rushing towards him.
"This Old Man won't just stand here and let you hit me!"
Kaido gritted his teeth and steeled himself.
He immediately transformed into his Azure Dragon form and collided head-on with the descending flame axe-hammer.
As for the Great Torch Dragon.
His current stamina was unable to unleash a secret technique of that level.
If he could be given about ten minutes of recovery time, perhaps...
At this moment, the giant Green Dragon ascended upwards, meeting the flame axe-hammer that was no smaller than it.
[Boom!!!]
An explosion scene almost indistinguishable from a nuclear explosion was born.
A huge ball of fire formed a giant mushroom cloud at high altitude.
Ripples formed by fire waves continuously spread outwards.
At this moment, the Green Dragon that Kaido had transformed into disappeared.
Having restored human form, his gaze was somewhat scattered, only feeling himself falling.
In his blurry line of sight, he saw the giant flame hammer, once again smashing down towards him.
"Is This Old Man's journey ending here... I should have seen Yamato before coming..."
Just as Kaido was about to fall into darkness, he seemed to hear a familiar voice.
"Kid, impressive, one against three, you actually managed to take down one, and that lightning just now..."
But he had no time to think further and completely fell into a coma.
In reality, Dunken, who was inside the giant flame hammer, was shocked by the white figure that suddenly appeared beside Kaido.
Who is it?
When did he appear there?!
Dunken swore that he had been staring at Kaido from beginning to end, not even blinking once.
Despite this, that figure still appeared out of nowhere in a strange manner.
"Never mind!"
The giant flame hammer smashed down fiercely.
Garp grabbed Kaido's collar with one hand, slowly raising his gaze to look at the sea of fire above, which seemed to occupy the entire sky.
"You're quite good, This Old Man will plead with Lord Imu..."
As soon as the words fell, silver-gray radiance appeared on Garp's right fist, and then he swung it upwards towards the top of his head in a seemingly ordinary manner.
[Boom!]
The fist and the surface of the flame hammer collided at a distance of about ten meters.
No earth-shattering great explosion occurred.
But on the surface of the axe-hammer, which was completely compressed and formed by endless flames.
Spiderweb-like cracks actually appeared, and at the same time, a crisp sound like crumbling rubble echoed.
"Wh- What!?"
Dunken, watching the cracks spread wildly, was dumbfounded.
[Bang!!!]
The next second, the light around him, which was like a solid, instantly exploded.
And further shattered into countless fire stars filling the sky, the scene looked extremely gorgeous and spectacular.
But Dunken found that he was not affected in the slightest...
The God of Flame and Forging was completely stunned.
He stared blankly at Garp, who was holding Kaido's massive body with one hand and instantly appeared before him.
"You are This Old Man's prisoner now, any opinion?" Garp asked.
Dunken subconsciously nodded, his mouth open but unable to make any sound.
"Alright then, follow along yourself." After speaking, Garp took Kaido and flew towards the Hill of Alnus.
[Boom!!!]
A moment later, a huge air blast completely startled Dunken awake.
"Eh————"
The Chief God of Dwarf Origin hesitated for a moment.
Finally, he let out a long sigh and transformed into a flame escape light to chase after them.
Not long after the few people left, the figure of Otsutsuki Hagoromo actually appeared here out of nowhere, holding the Benihisago in his hand.
Inside were the souls of Zufmut, the God of Vastness and Order, and Deltodo, the God of Oaths and Covenants.
Zufmut had not died.
After all, his strength had not decreased at that time.
However, Might of the Nation did severely injure him and blasted him over a thousand kilometers away, where he was conveniently received by the arriving Otsutsuki Hagoromo.
"Is this the Four Seas Iron Fist Martial God?"
"First knock out the fleeing Deltodo, then return to the Azure Dragon's side..."
"And that punch just now, it seems to contain some kind of power of rules..."
Otsutsuki Hagoromo looked thoughtfully at Garp's rapidly departing back view.
