Amidst the dust and smoke, a massively broad figure was revealed, accompanied by a series of explosive sounds that pierced through the mist.
The purple-black fur cloak belonging to Kaido fluttered in the air, swaying left and right. Under the cloak, Kaido's height, initially over seven meters, now grew to around twelve or thirteen meters.
Apart from his naturally large pair of horns, two curved ox horns and a vertical right angle appeared on his forehead.
His shoulders, waist, and arms were covered with blue scales, and his feet transformed into supporting dragon claws. The half of his menacing face was also covered with blue scales, displaying dragon-like features. Beneath his sharp gaze, his fangs grew wildly, with two long teeth protruding.
Human-Beast Form!
On that draconic body, numerous wounds were bursting open, but thanks to his special physique, they were healing visibly fast, leaving behind some bruises and dark marks that would soon fade with time.
"The power is impressive; you've destroyed the inside of my body entirely. It's stronger than Internal Destruction and has a unique force that can restrict my movements, but...
Kaido grinned, holding an iron club single-handedly, and said, "You can't leave a permanent scar on me!"
The Mythical recovery power and the amplified physique are truly astonishing!
He gripped the iron club, pointing straight at Sage across from him, "That last strike, it seems you've mastered it..."
Buzz!
It was like a black-purple mountain or a pouring waterfall, with its torrent engulfing Kaido, obscuring his massive form until only his glowing red eyes were visible.
"You have the power to make my blood boil after so long!"
"I'll make your blood boil and explode!"
Sage glared back fearlessly. A black-red torrent, like Kaido's, cascaded down like a waterfall, covering him. His eyes also shone a red hue.
One large and one small, they stood there like two demons, their mere presence suffocating those nearby.
In fact... some truly couldn't breathe.
In the fields outside the city, a cold gleam flashed, splitting a boulder that had flown through the air.
Lily gazed at the two massive torrents visible ahead, biting her lip as Supreme King waves rippled around her, guarding against the energetic collision of the two Supreme Kings.
So strong!
Even just going a bit deeper made some people faint. If Lily hadn't promptly used Supreme King to hold things together, they wouldn't have been able to evacuate these people.
And this was merely the aftermath...
The title of [Four Emperors]... is it not excessively strong?
In the heart of the battlefield, the two torrents intertwined as their gazes met, clashing briefly before rippling outwards, clearing the once overcast sky.
Boom!
But soon, a thunderclap resounded, and the clouds gathered again.
Sage glanced at his hands. While he managed to withstand the previous blow, defending against post-transformation attacks wasn't as easy.
His left hand fared better, though his fingers were twisted out of shape, and the bones in his palm were likely shattered.
As for his right hand, the condition was similar to the left, but with more severely fractured bones extending to his arm.
He wasn't rubber, just flesh and blood, lacking that kind of impact resistance of physical immunity, nor did he exhibit bone-breaking phenomena.
If he were rubber, how could there be bones...
But it didn't matter.
Sage took a deep breath, exhaling white vapors that spread across the ground.
He looked at Kaido and said, "I didn't want to use this, but I need to keep you busy for two days to evacuate the people on this island. Under these circumstances, I have no choice."
Kaido laughed heartily, "Oh ro lo lo lo! More tricks up your sleeve, then show them. I'm not one to vent on weaklings, but if you can't stop me, well, no promises!"
"Don't act like you've already won, Kaido."
Sage's eyes widened, his already fierce muscle armor trembling intensely, exhaling a white mist that formed into a smoky shroud around him.
His physique swelled continuously, reaching five meters high, with muscle thickening like armor, making him appear even more terrifying.
His chest muscles expanded to resemble chest armor, with exterior muscles twisting and intertwining at the shoulders. Two muscle pauldrons became three, extending upwards to entangle half his face, resembling a face guard.
At the base of his neck, two vents protruded, the swirling white smoke drawing inward, then spilling out like tassels, coiling around his shoulders and arms, forming faint white flame clouds.
"100% of 100%!"
Sage declared deeply, under the shroud of white vapor, the Life Return technique infused into his body rapidly healed his wounds, restoring him to perfect condition.
"And more!"
Boom!
He suddenly raised his right fist, and at that moment, a thunderbolt shot through the sky, transforming into black-red lightning as it struck down, blasting crater after crater into the ground.
Supreme King Materialization!
And...
Crackle!
White hair now rose, as if forming a burning white flame on Sage's head, and on his terrifying body, a mass of flowing Haki coiled first, forming black flames.
Within this fiery aura, black-red lightning gradually entwined his white flaming hair, streaming throughout his entire body.
Boom!
A heavenly thunderbolt cracked down, accompanied by tempestuous winds and a descending storm. Amidst the lightning and storm, the overcast sky finally brought down a tempest, whipping through Sage and Kaido's hair, sending a plethora of debris flying around, shattering against them.
The storm's descent brought more turbulent waves crashing against the island's edges. As the waves washed over the coast, massive waves surged madly inward to the island.
"Supreme King's Entanglement!"
Sage murmured, "And my fruit..."
Thud!
The ground beneath his feet sank sharply, leaving a depressed circle simply by his stance.
"Twenty times the weight!"
In this form, he could not only use the Hundred Times Speed amplification but also the Twenty Times Weight amplification!
"Come, this is my full power!"
Sage's eyes sparkled with red dots, and with Haki fully unleashed, his spirit reached a heightened focus, pushing Observation to the extreme.
Heart, body, skill... he reached the utmost limit of his potential strength!
"Oh ro lo lo lo! You've turned exaggeratedly like a Mythical-type, but didn't you eat the More-More Fruit?!"
Kaido laughed loudly, though his eyes couldn't hide a trace of astonishment.
It was widely known that only Zoan-types could transform, only Logia-types could manipulate elements, but only Mythicals combined the two.
Able to transform, with strong recovery, carrying storm elements, plus the faint but distinct flame clouds characteristic of Zoan Awakening...
Is this truly a Paramecia-Type?
Could this not be the Human-Human Fruit Mythical?
