This Life Wants for Nothing!

The reason he was able to annihilate all the demon kings in countless reincarnations is firstly because he was very powerful, which needs no further explanation.

Secondly, as a being of steel, Rama possesses the highest level of immortality and can continuously draw essence directly from the earth to nourish himself, which is equivalent to having unlimited growth potential and energy supply.

The third point is the Jiachi from the gods:

As the Goddess of Fate placed the Laurel Wreath of "the Last King" on Rama's head, he also received the support of the all the gods and Buddhas, just as described in the Ramayana.

(This legend was elevated to Noble Phantasm in Type-Moon, "Vishnu's Arm," but because Type-Moon has a history of weakening popular heroes like Rama and Sea Uncle while promoting less popular characters, it's just a poor-quality version of the King's Treasure Sea...)

It's different in Campione!!

Countless Divine Weapons have been incorporated into the blueprint of the "World-Saving Divine Blade" and are waiting to be used, while the Jiachi of that divine power has been transformed into the [Great Covenant]!

This ritual has a simple yet powerful effect:

The more enemies there are, the stronger you become, and the increase is exponential!

As a top-tier Steel Hero, Son Goku, although not endowed with the complete [Great Covenant] like Rama, can still use a simplified version, which has more restrictions and a smaller amplification, but it is still incredibly powerful when used!

Because of the combined attack from Iori and Luo Hao, the conditions for unlocking the [Great Covenant] were met, and Son Goku's magical power was now twice as strong as before!

This gave him room to use his various supernatural powers. As soon as he finished speaking with Iori, he plucked a few hairs and blew on them. Several hidden spells in the void immediately fled into the distance.

"Hehe, Old Sun will also cause some trouble for that woman. As long as we can hold her off for a while, I'll be able to finish her off."

The Monkey King sent his clones to harass Luo Hao, while he himself confidently faced Iori.

It's no wonder he was overconfident; the [Great Covenant] was simply too powerful. Its amplification, when translated into actual combat, meant that with a powerful swing of his iron rod, he could flatten a thousand-foot-high mountain!

This is an objective description, not an exaggeration.

Iori watched as the attack she had dodged cut a mountain in half, creating a massive platform...

"Move the mountain!"

The Monkey King jumped to the ground, and his body swelled in the wind. But this time, instead of becoming a giant over a thousand meters Dharma Heaven Manifestation Earth, he stopped at about four or five meters and transformed into a majestic Monkey God with golden fur, a red face, and wide-open, angry eyes.

"Moon Chaser!"

With a breath, it transformed into a cloud tornado, lifting the severed mountain peak and hurling it down at Iori!

Strangely enough, despite the overwhelming attack, Iori instinctively dodged it easily, yet he felt as if he had nowhere to hide, as if the entire sky was about to be covered by a small mountain.

"I've never seen this trick before when I was a kid."

Iori recalled the TV series "Journey to the West" that she had watched in her childhood, a sense of joy inexplicably welled up in her heart.

"But that's all there is to it!"

The man laughed heartily, and at the same time, a large, armored hand holding a sword appeared in the void, like an unseen giant swinging a sword at the sky.

Clang!

The raised sword sliced through the mountain peak and shot straight up into the sky through the clouds!

But almost at the same moment the mountain peak cracked, the Monkey King plummeted from the sky, his iron fists slamming down on his head—

Boom!!!

The ground suddenly caved in and cracked, and the rock layers collapsed and rose up like small hills.

"What!"

In the deep pit, the Monkey King's golden-red pupils suddenly contracted.

"It actually... blocked it?"

Beneath the rough, rock-like monkey claws, an ordinary-looking hand emerged from the smoke, revealing Iori's fiercely determined appearance.

But for some reason, the Ame no Murakumo no Tsurugi Zanpakuto its vessel is not in his hand. Not only that, but even Susanoo's black divine sword, Heroic Spirit 'Rama Immortal Blade, or the Last King's World-Saving Divine Blade... Iori has no weapon in his hand!

"If I were to kill you with foreign powers or weapons, the outcome would be the same, but the meaning for me would be greatly diminished."

Bang!

With a sudden movement, the Monkey King pushed away the stone ape's large hand, took several steps back, and after regaining his footing, he did not rush to attack, but instead looked at Iori with a strange gaze.

His wild intuition told him that a destructive power was brewing and expanding within Iori's body, like a volcano about to erupt... yet it was firmly contained by Iori and not a trace of it dissipated.

"In battle, one should not let too much emotion get in the way; absolute rationality is the most appropriate... Perhaps this is my weakness."

Despite this, Iori smiled and showed no hesitation or regret; on the contrary, she was genuinely eager to try.

He combed his slightly messy hair back, then took off his glasses, revealing a sharp gaze without the obstruction of lenses.

At the same time, his prop coat automatically unfastened and tucked into his belt, revealing his lean and muscular physique without a single ounce of excess fabric.

Notably, a jet-black line formed on his chest, encircling a fist to form a ring the size of a fist, with fiery patterns along its edge. The lines extending outwards on both sides connect with the horizontal lines extending from behind his shoulders.

Buzz!

A crimson glow, like embers of a dying fire, swept rapidly across the entire pattern. The surging hot air dispersed all the surrounding dust, and the invisible domain expanded rapidly from Iori's center!

"Um?"

The stone ape raised his hand, and a fierce wind passed by him. When he looked forward again, even with his composure, he couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.

—This momentum is even greater than the [Great Covenant]!

Iori, who was standing there, had not changed in size. Apart from having a few more magic patterns, her appearance had not changed to a blue face and fangs or anything like that. Overall, she was no different from before.

However, the Monkey King could see clearly that he was simply standing still and doing nothing, yet the space around him began to distort, shaking like water broken by a stone. He believed that he could tear this space apart with just a thought!

"What kind of power is this?!"

"Power? Heh... This is not God's power. If I had to describe it... it's a combination of martial arts and science."

"Science?"

Son Goku understood the meaning of the word, but he couldn't understand why "science" was being mentioned in this context.

Look at the damaged mountains and trees around us—gods are the most unscientific of all beings!

"I once developed a technique that compresses the cursed power that has undergone multiple qualitative changes and releases it at the moment it exceeds the Critical Point, so as to obtain the destructive power to destroy all the defenses of the material world."

Instinct it wasn't enough... Simply simulating a reactor within my body isn't enough to unleash the full potential of my body. In the end, the [Hadō Zero] is nothing more than a form of energy release.

It was a sudden inspiration of mine, and it was a very risky move for me; this was the first time I'd used it in actual combat.

Iori stared at the Monkey King, then suddenly raised her foot—

The Monkey King was thrown thousands of meters by the sudden and enormous impact, and a narrow ravine filled with lava was carved out on the ground!

Bang!

The Monkey King's body was blasted upwards into the clouds, and the earthen hill directly in front of him exploded like a ripe fruit, spewing down a shower of the Heat lava with the raging wind.

Bang!

The clouds were split in two, and the stone ape seemed to turn into a fiery meteor, falling to the ground again under the immense force of the third impact.

"Ahhh!"

The stone ape roared, pulling out an equally gigantic Golden Staff from who-knows-where, and following its battle instincts, struck in a certain direction, clashing head-on with the enemy—

Boom!

Like the tail flame of a rocket, but ten thousand times hotter, it exploded in mid-air, turning into a long rainbow that struck the distant horizon!

Thud...

The stone ape fell to the ground with a clang, and the Golden Staff also fell to the side.

At this moment, Iori, whose light and shadow were disordered as if she were wrapped in hot air, also landed on the ground and stood a few meters in front of the stone monkey.

The monkey seemed stunned by the blow, and only came to its senses after sitting on the ground and shaking its head violently. Then it heard Iori's heartfelt praise.

"As expected of the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, his Indestructible Body truly amazing defensive power. Even after enduring so many attacks, he only suffered some superficial wounds."

Hurt?

The monkey looked down at its chest and saw that its rock-like skin had cracked, from which flowed golden-red blood of God... Was it injured?

With the Jiachi of the [Great Covenant], he entered a berserk state and activated the Stone Ape Secret Technique —how could he be injured so easily?!

The Monkey King subconsciously looked up—in fact, given his height, he didn't need to look up even when sitting.

Then Iori lifted her foot and flicked the Golden Staff on the ground, easily kicking it back to the Monkey King.

"..."

Son Goku was stunned for a moment, his eyes showing disbelief, and then he became more furious than ever before!

"I am the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, not someone you can toy with as you please! Aaaaaah!!!"

With a roar that shook heaven and earth, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, whose Kamui Jiachi by the Great Covenant, stepped on a Golden Auspicious Cloud. He somersaulted into an undetectable flash of light, flew through space into the sky, and then swooped down, instantly entering Divine Speed realm. Before the atmosphere could even tremble, he had arrived in an instant.

"Demon King, taste this Adamantine Staff!"

With the force of wind and thunder, and the strength of ten thousand pounds in his arms, the Monkey King raised the Sea-Calming Divine Needle Iron, recreating his heroic demeanor of fighting against heaven and earth in his heyday.

The iron rod swept outwards, causing a deafening roar and countless sonic booms, before being shattered by the immense force in the next moment.

A piercing sonic boom echoed as the indestructible iron rod swept towards Iori's chest.

"Bang—!"

The whole world seemed to tremble, and the invisible waves, as vast as ocean waves, spread far and wide, blowing away the floating clouds in the sky and bringing violent winds to the world.

The ripples of the powerful energy even affected the ground, causing countless trees to fall or be uprooted.

The ground became "soft" at that moment, like a whirlpool rising from the sea... eventually leaving behind a sinkhole that resembled a gaping Abyss.

Even so, the Monkey King did not have the real feeling of "smashing something," but instead felt that there was a towering Mount Sumeru beneath the iron rod.

"The essence of this technique lies in combining [Hadō Zero] and [Shunkō]..."

A calm yet unwavering voice came from beneath the rod. Iori held the iron rod in one hand, and the wounds on her body healed in an instant, as if they were Kyoka Suigetsu. Her face still wore a confident smile.

"Replacing the attribute-less Kido spiritual power with multi-dimensionally transformed magic, attaching it to the back, arms, and even the entire body, also means that one must be constantly and carefully maintained, for the slightest oversight will turn oneself into a super nuclear bomb—"

In other words, I'm constantly on the Critical Point!

One punch!

Raising the iron rod, he clenched his left fist and struck straight down. A dark, blackish-red light flashed in the void, and in an instant, the stone ape was sent flying, creating a towering shockwave. Countless fire rains followed, and a narrow strip of lava appeared on the ground!

"At this moment, I have no time to spare. I can hardly use high-level Noble Phantasm and skills, including the newly acquired authority... But in exchange, even the most ordinary fist can shatter mountains and rivers!"

Iori strolled across the crimson lava, black flame patterns appearing on his wrists and ankles, and said, word by word, "Binding oneself first, then injuring the enemy, this is the [Hadō Kinshiki]!"

He has no weapons or armor on him now... perhaps he no longer needs such things, this body itself is the strongest proof!

"Good! Good! Good!"

With a bang, the stone ape leaped out of the ground, its Fiery Eyes Golden Gaze fixed on Iori. Multiple cracks had appeared on Iori's body, especially a charred mark between his chest and abdomen, with lava dripping from the edges...

"Old Sun has many tricks up his sleeve, Seventy-Two Transformations are an endless number, but none of them have such an unconventional and extraordinary ability. You can truly be considered a formidable opponent for us!"

Even his Indestructible Vajra Body was broken, but the Monkey King showed no fear and instead became even more ferocious.

At the same time, a streak of light flew in from the horizon, descending like a rainbow, revealing the appearance of the Sect Leader Luo Hao. She had just dealt with several avatars and immediately arrived using the Shrinking Earth technique. Before she even stood still, her phoenix eyes swept across the entire area, seemingly examining what changes had occurred in the short time she had been gone.

Is this going to lead to more chaos and conflict?

Iori frowned, then relaxed. "There's no need to keep playing house. I need to finish this battle quickly, given my condition."

After saying that, he took out a huge scroll, half the height of a person, from his storage space. Although he could not use complex Magecraft himself, he could easily activate the props.

So he unrolled the scroll and pointed it at Son Goku in the distance—

"Monkey, come and take a look at my [Depiction of Nature and Society]!"

The stone ape was taken aback, but this item directly replaced the space where the target was located, and had nothing to do with individual resistance. He could not object and suddenly disappeared from the spot.

The Depiction of Nature and Society disappeared into the void, Iori turned to look at Luo Hao.

"It's a pity it's not a genuine magic weapon. The Monkey King will soon break free once he understands the situation... Before that, I need to negate his [Great Covenant]—and then I'll deal with you!"

Chapter 375 I have no desires in this life!

"If you can do it, feel free to try!"

Luo Hao was full of vigor and high spirits!

Even in such an exhilarating moment, her expression remained only slightly excited, without losing her composure... or rather, on the contrary, she had entered Bleach of unparalleled focus, throwing herself wholeheartedly into the battle, thus suppressing any emotional fluctuations.
