Futu vs. Karrot

With a roar, Karrot's muscles began to swell wildly, like a plant nourished with nutrient solutions, growing exponentially. His size also began to increase rapidly, from less than 1.7 meters tall to two meters, three meters, five meters... until it finally stopped growing at seven or eight hundred meters. Blood-red fur also burst forth from every pore of his body, quickly covering his entire body. His face also became ferocious, transforming him into a gigantic, blood-red giant ape.

At the same time, the silver staff in his hand also changed. As his body continued to grow, it transformed into a colossal pillar nearly a thousand meters long in just a few breaths. The pillar was entirely silver, with strange golden patterns flowing across its surface.

The moment Karrot completed his transformation, his blood-red eyes locked onto the Buddha. A violent aura surged forth, spreading like a mist that permeated an area spanning thousands of kilometers, enveloping all the onlookers, and an immense sense of oppression suppressed the entire scene.

Only a handful of people were unaffected.

Although Futu's figure appeared tiny compared to Karrot's, he remained unmoved, his head slightly raised, showing no sign of panic. A deafening roar stirred up a gust of wind, causing Futu's black robes to billow, and Karrot gripped his long staff tightly, bringing it down with a furious crash.

But the Buddha remained standing in place, showing no intention of dodging.

As the massive, pillar-like staff crashed down, many onlookers gasped in alarm. They knew that under such a blow, survival was virtually impossible. The only way to survive was to dodge.

Even Elsa, who was known for her physical strength, did not dare to take this attack head-on.

All the onlookers saw was the colossal pillar collapsing like a mountain toppling over. A loud boom followed, as if it had struck something, halting its descent.

The attack stirred up dust, but no one emerged.

"Did it hit me?"

"It seems that the Buddha did not dodge at all."

"Such a terrifying attack, even a Buddha statue couldn't possibly withstand it with its bare body, could it?"

"Could the Buddha statue have been destroyed?"

Whispers arose from the crowd, mostly speculating that Futu had been killed. Karrot himself clearly felt that his attack had indeed struck, but having sparred with Futu before, he didn't believe his opponent would be so easily defeated. However, he also didn't believe anyone could emerge unscathed from such a direct hit. He chose to observe quietly, his large, blood-red eyes fixed on the spot where Futu had stood amidst the dust and smoke.

As the dust in the air gradually dissipated, a dark figure slowly appeared before everyone's eyes. The figure exuded a Combat Strength of arrogance, and everyone vaguely saw that his left hand seemed to be making an upward lifting motion.

When the dust settled, everyone witnessed a scene that shocked them. Futu stood still, supporting the colossal pillar with one hand. The ground beneath his feet was completely undamaged, and he appeared utterly unaffected.

Another gasp rippled through the crowd.

"No way?"

"It was blocked?!"

"Such a powerful attack, and he caught it with one hand, and he seems completely unharmed."

Upon seeing Futu's appearance, Karrot hesitated for a moment, but quickly drew his staff again and swung it horizontally. The massive silver staff, like a long silver whip, lashed towards Futu's side.

This time, everyone finally saw Futu's movements clearly. To everyone's astonishment, Futu stretched out his left hand and collided with the shaft of the giant staff.

"Boom!"

Another loud bang reverberated, the impact even generating a powerful gust of wind that swept outwards. But the giant club's attack was once again firmly blocked. Although Fu Tu's sleeves billowed violently, he remained firmly rooted to the spot, not even moving an inch.

Everyone stared in utter astonishment at this scene. Many knew that if it were them, they would have been reduced to dust by that blow. But Futu seemed completely unharmed.

Seeing this scene, Karrot felt an urge to go berserk. After transforming into this state, his attack strength was at least above that of a four-star Peak-rank God, but even so, he still couldn't shake Futu in the slightest. This was hard for him to believe, and his emotions immediately turned into madness.

The long staff was pulled up again and swung out repeatedly, smashing wildly towards the pagoda. The booming sound was incessant for a time.

The powerful attacks, the dense frequency of attacks, and the ripples of energy they sent shivers down the spines of the onlookers.

Karrot's frenzied attacks lasted for more than half an hour before finally stopping, while Futu remained motionless, blocking all the attacks with just one hand.

Karrot's attack suddenly stopped. He plunged his staff into the ground, closed his eyes, and clasped his huge, hairy hands together, murmuring strange notes.

A moment later, a golden light descended from the sky, enveloping Karrot entirely. Above his massive head, which was over seven hundred meters tall, a phantom image slowly appeared.

It was a Golden Giant Ape wearing a golden headband. The ape was dozens of times larger than Karrot, and as tall as a colossal mountain, nearly ten thousand meters high. The giant ape held one hand in front of its chest in a prayer position, and in the other hand it held a long golden staff.

This move was the same God Descent Art that Karrot had used in the War God Arena, using bloodline to summon the true god ancestor. However, the projection form summoned this time was different from the last one.

Many people were seeing it for the first time and were quite surprised.

Futu also looked up at the sky, his expression finally becoming serious beneath his hat brim. "God Descent Art?"

After a while, the fluctuations of the phantom in the sky gradually stabilized, and Karrot suddenly opened his eyes and shouted, "Suppress!"

As the roar reverberated, the projection of the Golden Giant Ape suddenly moved, striking the long staff in its hand with a palm strike.

The massive club, more than ten times larger than the staff in Karrot's hand, began to spin rapidly before plummeting vertically towards the location of the pagoda. The sheer roar of its rotation sent shivers down the spines of many.

And Futu finally moved. His hands formed strange hand seals one after another. A phantom image quickly condensed above his head, a powerful figure dressed in a white robe. Not only his face, but also the rest of his body was hidden under the white robe. The robe moved without wind, but the irregularly cut hem of the robe rippled, and the person's feet were not visible, as if he had no feet at all, and his whole body was in a floating state.

"The Buddha statue can even God Descent Art!" A low exclamation came from the crowd.

At that moment, the giant staff finally fell. Suddenly, two beams of dark blue light shot out from the eyes of the white-robed expert above the Buddha's head, colliding with the phantom of the staff.

"Boom!"

The sound of the impact shook the entire world, and a terrifying pressure spread out from the point of impact, so powerful that it made people tremble.

A moment later, the phantom of the long staff disintegrated, and the Golden Giant Ape shuddered as if it had been severely injured. Its fur seemed to have dimmed, and the once stable phantom gradually faded away after flickering a few times.

Karrot stared blankly at what was happening. "How... could this be?"

After asking that question, his entire body shrank rapidly, as if a deflated balloon had been released. In just a few seconds, he transformed from a behemoth over 700 meters tall back into a human form that was less than 1.7 meters tall.

The battle did not continue, because after Karrot reverted to his human form, he collapsed to the ground and fell into a deep sleep. He was so weak that he didn't even have time to put on some clothes.

Na Luo, who was standing nearby, threw a sheet over him and wrapped him up.

Above the Buddha statue, the white projection, seeing that the battle was over, quickly faded away automatically.

After witnessing the battle between Futu and Karrot, no one doubted Futu's strength anymore. On the contrary, some people felt that there was something fishy about the battle Dokter won against Futu.

Even Dokter himself felt somewhat ashamed. He knew that his previous battle with Futu couldn't be considered a real fight. Judging from the battle just now, even if he exerted his full strength, he would only be about the same as Karrot. If he were to fight Karrot, he might not even be able to win, let alone against Futu.

Even Liliath and Elsa's expressions turned serious. They knew from the beginning that Futu was a formidable opponent, but no one expected him to be this powerful.

"I am no match for him." Elsa stared at the Buddha for a long time before shaking her head in a low voice.

"He is not only physically powerful, but his soul is also extremely powerful. If it were me, I would lose even more miserably." Liliath also made a rough assessment. "I'm afraid only Gu Ding can fight him."

Through this battle, the top ten powerhouses on the leaderboard gained a clear understanding of Futu's Combat Strength and were all secretly calculating the gap between themselves and Futu.

After this battle, Futu didn't seem to have suffered much damage. His battle with Karrot was over, but the fight between Gu Ding and Scarlet continued, and he also turned his gaze towards them...

I still don't understand how they did it, because even now, I still get writer's block easily when writing battle scenes, especially when I don't have a clear image in my mind, my typing speed drops drastically...
