At this moment she descended upon Japan, with a single purpose—-to slay the Heretic God sealed here, the Monkey King.
The Monkey King's true identity is the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong.
As the incarnation of the monkey and protector of dragons, he had been bound by the proudest curse of the Tendai esoteric monks. Using the accumulated sacred power of shrines across the land, they fettered him with the might of Tōshō Daigongen. Even if he broke out and rampaged, he would always be dragged back to this place to be sealed again.
Why does Luo Hao want him dead?
Because in her eyes Sun Wukong is clearly a hero of her own country, yet he is being kept as a plaything by the Yamato people—an unforgivable sin.
To know of such a being and leave him would tarnish her name.
For ages she has awaited the hour of judgment.
A hundred years ago she encountered him, tried to shatter the seal, and blew up both him and the surrounding shrines time and again.
But she failed to charge into the Nether Corridor, and the attempt came to nothing.
Now she has come again.
Sensing the strange turbulence in the Netherworld, she struck directly, broke the seal, and freed the Monkey King.
Once more connected to the earth as a Heretic God, the Monkey King went mad.
A bellow that shook heaven and earth rolled in from the direction of Mt. Fuji.
The ground convulsed violently.
Countless arcane runes surfaced on the mountain's face, only to splinter inch by inch beneath a savage force!
Pink cherry-blossom petals whirled eerily against the wind, gathering into a towering tornado.
From its heart strode a giant ape tens of meters tall, pelted in golden fur and wielding an enormous cudgel—the unsealed Monkey King!
His eyes burned crimson.
Returned to the state of disobedience, nothing remained in him but madness.
The instant he appeared he smashed the cudgel into the earth.
A vast dent opened in Fuji's mid-slope, rock shards spraying in all directions.
Below, sirens screamed through the city; people fell into terror and scattered.
The Monkey King's voice was like thunder.
Yet the reply was a voice even colder.
Luo Hao stood upon the clouds.
Phoenix eyes narrowed, she watched the raging giant ape below.
Not a trace of fear—only an icy killing intent.
She slowly raised a hand; mysterious golden patterns rippled across her body—manifestations of her Authorities.
"Monkey King, the debt of centuries ends today."
Before the words had faded, Luo Hao dove like an arrow loosed from the string!
She used no ornate sorcery—only pure martial might, leaving an afterimage in the sky.
Each step warped the very air.
The Monkey King swept the cudgel sideways, whipping up a wall of debris and a solid gale.
But Luo Hao's fist was faster!
With a dull report the world itself seemed to pause.
Her fist struck the air wall; no cataclysmic blast sounded, only a flawlessly condensed force that pierced through and slammed onto the giant cudgel!
The weapon that looked indestructible sprouted a hair-fine fracture beneath her punch!
"Hmph—false Great Sage."
The Monkey King howled in pain, stunned that this frail-seeming human woman wielded such terrifying strength.
He wrenched back the cudgel and raked at her with clawed fingers keen enough to tear the air.
Man and god clashed above Japan, shaking the heavens.
Luo Hao's movements were phantasmal—fists and kicks interweaving into an airtight net, every blow landing on the deity's weak points with a ring like clashing metal.
The Monkey King answered with sheer mass and berserk divinity; each swing of his arm made mountains tremble and earth split.
Where his power reached, buildings collapsed, ground fissured.
The battle blazed white-hot.
Luo Hao's Authority "Vajra" granted her peerless destructive power…
while "Garuda" endowed her with speed beyond reason.
She flickered through the air like scarlet lightning, carving fresh wounds across the deity's body.
His blood ran golden; wherever it fell, raging flames erupted, scarring the land.
Just as their powers peaked, dyeing the sky a weave of scarlet and gold—
The very heart of the battlefield warped violently!
A searing white light tore the chaotic energies apart, and two figures—Rei Ao and Pandora—appeared.
Alert in an instant, Luo Hao flashed back dozens of meters, phoenix eyes locking on the strangers, murderous intent fixed on Rei Ao, a man radiating danger.
At the same moment Pandora recognized Luo Hao.
Tugging Rei Ao's sleeve, she whispered, "She's one of my 'children'—a very strong one. You're not thinking of…"
She feared he might once again kill one of her "children."
Hearing the words "Campione," Luo Hao's gaze sharpened still further.
She looked at Pandora, doubt swirling within—this woman's aura was far too mysterious, as though bound to the laws of heaven and earth themselves.
Rei Ao merely spread his hands and smiled easily at Luo Hao. "Relax. We bear you no grudge."
His eyes swept over the raging Monkey Deity, then the power surging around Luo Hao.
He seemed instantly to grasp the situation.
"You're handling the 'trouble.' Carry on—pretend we're just here to watch the show."
With casual air he blinked away with Pandora, clearly uninterested in intervening.
The earth-shaking battle before them, in his view, was nothing more than a trivial spectacle.
