The Second Stage of the Heavenly King's Form: Destruction...

"Kaido."

"Watch this!"

Seven-colored flames blazed.

Chaos clasped his hands together with solemn reverence. Behind him, the towering Shakyamuni made the same gesture.

Those mountain-like golden palms came together with a resonant hum.

Rolling Buddhist chants filled the air.

At last,

Chaos held one palm upright and pressed it down toward Kaido from afar.

In an instant,

Shakyamuni's colossal palm, vast enough to cover the clouds and sky, descended as well. Surrounded by seven-colored flames, it made the air boom and churned the world like a raging sea, stretching beyond sight.

King and the others, pinned to the mountainside, stared open-mouthed despite being on the brink of death. They looked horrified, as if everything they knew about the world had been overturned.

Whether Kaido on the ground transformed into his full beast form or Hybrid Form, he was no bigger than a sesame seed before that seven-colored palm.

Utterly insignificant.

"I am Kaido of the Beasts!"

"Gaia!!!"

Kaido roared in anguish.

The seven-colored palm had not even reached him, yet he could already feel the pressure of the heavens collapsing. Even the atmosphere rippled under its weight. But so what?

He would never just sit back and wait for death.

"Roar~"

"Dragon Twister!"

"Blast Breath!"

Kaido's domineering dragon roar rang out as he transformed into his full beast form. Four tornadoes sprang up around his body, growing larger and stronger as they spun, rising from the ground and surging toward the seven-colored palm.

At the same time, a torrent of Blast Breath shot into the sky.

The whole world descended into chaos, while the light of Polar Day shone brilliantly.

Islands rose one after another across New Onigashima. The ground split and buckled, the surrounding sea sank and pulled apart, and wave after wave of pressure swept through the air.
