The Saiyan Bloodline's recovery ability was already powerful, and with the Goku Template's boost, the ki in his body instantly recovered to above normal levels.
There was even less need to mention the Wizard Bloodline. It could continuously convert external energy into magic power within his body, so there was no such thing as running out of magic power. Once his magic power was divided off, it would quickly recover.
As for Chakra, it was extracted from the combination of physical and spiritual energy. Even without Nine-Tails' Chakra recovery, as long as his body and mind recovered, his Chakra would naturally recover as well.
Not to mention, the Uzumaki Bloodline's Chakra recovery speed was famously fast.
So Hawking could actually have dodged Apocalypse's attack.
But he did not.
The reason was simple: the moon was about to rise, and soon he would be able to undergo Great Ape Transformation and launch a major counterattack.
So before that, he felt that the atmosphere had already been built up this much. If he did not suffer a few injuries, the effect would definitely be greatly diminished and would be hard to meet his expectations.
It was like Ultraman fighting monsters. If he took them out in a few quick moves every time, it would not show how great he was.
He had to get beaten around by the monster in the middle, let his energy light flash, and then defeat the monster in the end. Only then would he be more worshipped by the public.
The muscles all over his body bulged. Since he had loaded the Goku Template, his base Combat Power had jumped directly from just over two hundred to nearly four hundred. Even though Apocalypse had grown huge, he was confident he could take this attack head-on.
"Boom!"
Hawking
