Chapter 1365: Despair in the Nuclear World!
Carrying the expectations of eight billion people.
How hot-blooded that sounds, at least Alexei himself found himself moved.
This made his spirit highly focused, and the pace of his Thunder Breathing became increasingly smooth.
Every form of sword technique he unleashed, whether in speed or power, saw a slight improvement.
Yet, despite this.
Alexei, who appeared fierce in his offensive and flashing with electric light, was consistently unable to inflict substantial damage on Susanoo.
Furthermore, whenever he attempted to charge towards Qin Su, he would be met with Susanoo's interception.
This forced Alexei to abandon the thought of capturing the king and continue his fierce entanglement with Susanoo.
Thinking of quickly taking down this so-called biological humanoid Imperial Arms.
"Wow, contestant Alexei looks amazing! This time he used the Fifth Form: Heat Lightning of Thunder Breathing!"
"Ah, what a pity, what a pity Susanoo dodged it!"
"But it's okay, contestant Alexei immediately used the Sixth Form: Rumble and Flash, swinging his blade to unleash more lightning slashes!"
"However, facing such an offensive from Susanoo, he countered with a powerful qi energy swing from his steel rod, engaging him frontally!"
On the Nuclear World side, every audience member watching Alexei could hear the host's voice coming from the screen.
And the current battle situation indeed seemed to favor contestant Alexei.
This made billions of audience members beam with delight, cheering and rooting for him.
Besides this, many people were also watching Chapaev's combat live broadcast.
However, compared to Qin Su's identity as an imperial prince, his opponent was a seemingly ordinary Sea Star contestant.
According to the host's introduction.
This person is from the Grand Line latter half competition zone, a somewhat famous pirate hunter in recent years, named Jean Ango.
So far, his best combat result was wiping out a pirate crew.
A pirate whose captain had a bounty of twenty-two million Berry.
And two cadres with bounties of fourteen million Berry and eleven million Berry respectively.
Converted to the present, that's roughly one million fifty thousand Berry, six hundred seventy thousand Berry, and five hundred twenty thousand Berry respectively.
The audience of the Nuclear World had no frame of reference for this.
But according to the host, this person is not a big shot in the Sea Star world.
As for Chapaev, with his nuclear radiation mutant physique, plus Flame Breathing, and the Cossack Saber Technique he practiced since childhood.
Although his strength doesn't seem very mighty, his movements are agile, his perception is sharp, and his combat power is not to be underestimated.
It seems he should be able to win this first round.
On Alexei's side.
More than half an hour had passed, but he still couldn't defeat Susanoo.
Instead, he was panting heavily from exhaustion, his chest began to visibly rise and fall, and warm sweat beads appeared on his forehead.
Thunder Breathing, although the fastest and most explosive among the Five Great Foundation Breathing Styles, also has the highest stamina consumption.
"Hoo—hoo—hoo————"
Alexei tightened his grip on the slightly heated sword hilt in his hand.
It was just a pity that with his current grip strength, it was difficult to heat it up into a Crimson Blade.
"How can this be? This guy's strength is actually this strong?"
Looking at Susanoo opposite him, who was not only completely unharmed but also had a calm expression as usual, Alexei was extremely shocked.
Clearly, the opponent hadn't displayed any special ability, nor was he accompanied by wind, fire, thunder, or water; every movement was so simple and unadorned.
Yet, he just couldn't find a method against him!
"Susanoo, let's end this. That way we can go watch other people's combat."
Qin Su, behind Susanoo, instructed softly.
He originally wanted to attack together, but after observing, he found that Alexei's strength wasn't very strong, and two against one would be a bit too much bullying.
Moreover, only two people from the Nuclear World where the opponent originated entered the Top 100, so it's likely many people are looking forward to his performance.
So, let's fight with him a bit longer, to avoid an embarrassing quick end.
Thirty minutes, Qin Su felt, was just right.
"Okay!"
Susanoo nodded, slightly adjusted his stance, and his gaze also became sharper.
"Heh—, I'm really being underestimated!"
Alexei naturally also heard Qin Su's words.
But he didn't think this was goodwill, but rather a kind of contempt and humiliation.
"Then let me show you my true strength!"
"Ahhhhhhh!"
Alexei opened his scarlet eyes wide, tilted his head back, and let out an angry roar.
【Boom————————】
In an instant, a surging aura erupted from him, and at the same time, his entire body's muscle rapidly swelled visibly.
"Here it comes!"
"Hahaha, let him see how powerful the Regal Transformation is!"
Within the Nuclear World.
The higher-ups officials of the Polar Bear Country all let out smug laughter upon seeing this scene.
That's right.
Alexei was activating the life energy within his body, originating from the Regal Stone.
In the blink of an eye.
Under the surprised gaze of Qin Su and Susanoo.
He had already undergone transformation into a monster over two meters tall, with crimson eyes, a mouth full of fangs, and pale hair!
A werewolf wearing a black tight raid suit!
Qin Su immediately became vigilant: "Animal-Type Ability User?"
Susanoo's gaze also became serious.
"No, this is the strength of the Regal Stone from the Ninja World!"
Alexei sneered, baring his teeth: "But it's much stronger than ordinary Zoan-type Devil Fruit!"
【Bang!]
As soon as he finished speaking, he actually burst out with a speed several times faster than before, transforming into a fierce blazing fire and attacking Qin Su behind Susanoo.
"Ah, what happened!"
"Contestant Alexei's appearance suddenly changed drastically, and his speed is also unbelievably fast!"
The host specifically in charge of this duel let out an exclamation.
This also made many audience members in the Nuclear World snap back to reality.
They were also very shocked by Alexei's change. It turns out their own contestant still had this kind of ability?
But this is a good thing!
【Clang————】
However, Susanoo was still able to block in front of the blazing fire in the nick of time, and precisely receive the blade hidden within the flame.
"What!!"
Alexei looked at the expressionless Susanoo in disbelief.
"You have indeed become stronger, but unfortunately, you are still weaker than me."
Susanoo thought for a moment, then still opened his mouth to give an explanation.
Transformation isn't something where just because you change, you're guaranteed to defeat the opponent; it depends on the person.
【Bang!]
As soon as he finished speaking, Alexei's abdomen suffered a heavy blow from the steel rod.
His entire body bent at the waist and flew back, and he even spat out a mouthful of scarlet blood.
However, before Alexei could land.
Susanoo had already turned into an afterimage and chased above him, the silver light flashing steel rod in his hand blasted the air, smashing down fiercely.
He intended to directly end the combat!
"Roar——————"
But who knew that Alexei, in the nick of time.
Suddenly opened his gaping maw full of fangs and howled out a visibly white energy beam.
"Hmm?!"
Susanoo only felt a violent shockwave and piercing sound wave rushing towards him, and it even knocked away the steel rod he was smashing down.
Alexei seized the opportunity, quickly flipped over to pull back the distance, narrowly buying himself time to continue the combat.
"How are you, Susanoo!"
Qin Su saw Susanoo jump back in front of him and immediately asked about the situation.
"I'm fine, my ears are just a bit uncomfortable. It should be some kind of condensed sound wave attack."
Susanoo shook his head, indicating not to worry about him.
"However, being able to take my full strength attack, the power is quite decent."
Qin Su breathed a sigh of relief, then his gaze returned to Alexei opposite him.
"That's good. I really didn't expect that besides undergoing transformation into a werewolf and improving his physical ability, he actually has this type of special ability."
"Yes, this point is indeed stronger than ordinary Zoan-type Devil Fruit." Susanoo nodded.
Qin Su asked, "Should I attack together, or should we use that technique?"
"No need. If it's just this level, he is still weaker than me."
Susanoo replied indifferently, and this sentence also shocked Alexei's heart.
On his side, his trump card was already used up.
At the same time.
The billions of audience members in the Nuclear World watching this combat had already begun to feel despair.
Such a strong Alexei, yet the opponent still felt he wasn't strong enough?
The higher-ups of Polar Bear, Lighthouse, and other nations also had pale expressions.
【Snap!]
The next moment, Susanoo was the first to launch an attack.
With a Thunderbolt.
He actually transformed into golden lightning, appearing before Alexei in the blink of an eye, and brazenly swung his electric flash-flashing steel rod, his momentum extremely terrifying.
In fact.
The main effect of Thunder Breathing on him was merely to increase the light and shadow and momentum effects.
"Congratulations, you've made me serious."
"Arrogant!!!"
The werewolf transformation Alexei was filled with shock and anger, his eyes full of unwillingness.
He truly didn't want to lose this first round!
Alexei immediately took himself as the center, and swung out a vortex-shaped flame slash with full strength.
"Flame Breathing! Fourth Form! Flourishing Flame Whirlpool!"
At the same time, he once again condensed a dangerous sound wave energy bullet in his mouth.
In an instant.
The golden electric flash fell vertically, instantly piercing through the flame and sound wave along the way, followed by a deafening giant thunder.
