Chapter 117: Climax
Boom!
In the Dark Clouds-filled High Sky, countless enormous crimson Fireballs suddenly plummeted from within the Dark Clouds, roaring down like Sky Fire, weaving into a dense and terrifying death zone. Each Fireball that struck the Ground would shatter the Ground directly beneath, leaving behind lava-filled Holes and forming large swathes of burning areas.
And within these incredibly destructive Sky Fire, the massive Figure of Nicholas, transformed into a Thunder God, was like a god of war. In one hand, he held a Lightning Spear, and in the other, a Lightning Shield, shattering the dazzling crimson Fireballs falling from the Sky.
"Nicholas, you brat!!!" An uncontrollable Roar of rage echoed through the High Sky. Big Mom stood atop Thundercloud Zeus, her face contorted in fury, wielding Napoleon and continuously summoning Sky Fire, manipulating them to attack Nicholas below.
"I'm going to kill you, you bastard!" At this moment, she could be said to have entered a berserk State, but this berserk State was different from her Food Craving Sickness berserk State.
Charlotte Linlin, when her Food Craving Sickness acted up, would fall into madness. Then, she would completely lose her reason, rampaging everywhere, seeking the Food she craved. At that time, other than letting her eat the Delicious Food she wanted or defeating her, there was no Method to restore her sanity. Moreover, when the illness struck, she wouldn't recognize anyone, even killing her own sons, and wouldn't listen to anyone's words.
But the berserk State Charlotte Linlin had entered now was even more terrifying than her Food Craving Sickness, because at this time, she still retained a sliver of reason. This meant that during the battle, she wouldn't become like her Food Craving Sickness State, acting solely on instinct. Instead, she could truly unleash her full Strength, and might even over-perform due to her anger.
As for the Reason for her berserk State, it was very simple. At this moment, Charlotte Linlin, riding on Zeus, was covered in many wounds all over her body. Although these wounds were already slowly healing themselves, the Bloodstains on her tattered clothes still indicated that this Iron Balloon had indeed been breached in the confrontation with Nicholas. However, due to her Pervert physique, these injuries were not enough to achieve a severely damaging effect.
Facing the frantically Damage Outputting Nicholas, even Charlotte Linlin with her Pervert physique could not possibly be unscathed! However, these injuries were ultimately acceptable to Charlotte Linlin, because in comparison, Nicholas at this moment was also in a considerably worse State.
Although he had transformed into a giant Thunder God through Elementalization, and there were no wounds on his body, maintaining Elementalization for a long time also consumed a great deal of his Stamina. It could be said that the Reason why Logia type is relatively powerful among the three Fruit types lies in the pseudo-invincible effect brought about by its Elementalization. In the State of Elementalization, coupled with advanced Observation Haki, it could be said that no one could attack the Logia-type Devil Fruit User's main body. Of course, a certain shame of Logia type doesn't count.
And whether it was maintaining Elementalization or using Observation Haki, the Stamina and mental exertion were both enormous. If one wanted to kill a Logia-type Strongest, the only Method was to exhaust their Stamina, making them unable to maintain Elementalization. Otherwise, if the opponent was determined to escape, there really wasn't a good Method.
After splitting apart a Fireball falling from the Sky with a single Spear, Nicholas raised his head and glanced at Big Mom above Thundercloud Zeus, his eyes twitching slightly. "As expected of a Monster with the Title of Iron Balloon, the injuries I inflicted just now have already mostly recovered?" "It seems this battle will be much more difficult than I imagined."
Nicholas's expression was much more serious than before, but it was only limited to that. After all, when Strength reached their Layers, a battle lasting for days and nights was a normal thing. Moreover, perhaps they could defeat the opponent, but if they wanted to kill the opponent, it could only be done by mobilizing multiple opponents of their level.
And from the start of the battle until now, he and Big Mom had only exchanged blows for a little over an hour. Both sides had Trump Cards that had not yet been revealed. It could even be said that they were still far from the point of revealing their Trump Cards!
A life-and-Death struggle between Top-Tier Powerhouses is not about looking at Data on paper. Without fighting to the end, without revealing all of one's trump Card killer moves, no one knows who will be the final victor standing at the end!
Thinking of this, Nicholas suddenly stretched out his hand, and an enormous Thunder Dragon, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, directly swept away all the Fireballs in the nearby area. Immediately, he charged directly towards Big Mom above Thundercloud Zeus.
"Zeus!" Charlotte Linlin saw the enormous Thunder Dragon charging towards her and patted Zeus beneath her. "Don't worry, Mama!" As Zeus's voice fell, the volume of the Thundercloud expanded again, and soon the Thunder Dragon Nicholas had unleashed disappeared into the Thundercloud.
When Zeus's size returned to its previous size, it could be clearly seen that it seemed to have become somewhat lazy. "Zeus, what's wrong with you?" Looking at the drowsy Zeus, before Charlotte Linlin could speak, Prometheus beside her spoke up first, loudly questioning.
"Burp, I ate too much and got stuffed." Zeus said, even letting out a burp. Then, a Plasma dripped from its mouth, splashing around on the Ground and shattering countless rubble in the Ruins below.
"Always hiding so far away, this isn't like you, Big Mom!" Nicholas roared angrily, a flash of brilliance erupting in his eyes. Immediately, the Lightning Spear, materialized in the Thunder God's right hand and hundreds of meters long, was put into a throwing posture. All the Aura throughout his body converged madly towards the tip of the Lightning Spear at this moment!
"Now, it's time for you to come down!" Along with the Thunder God's Roar, an Aura so terrifying that it shook one's mind condensed on the already somewhat dazzling Spear tip. And in the next instant, as the Lightning Spear was thrown, it erupted with overwhelming momentum!
Buzzing! Above the Sky, like the Judgment of the King of Gods, the enormous Lightning Spear suddenly tore through the entire Sky at this moment, stirring up monstrous waves along the way, piercing towards Big Mom. If viewed from a distance, it was as if the entire Sky was now only left with that terrifying Lightning Spear.
"Mama, I can't eat this Thunder attack, blegh." Looking at the Lightning Spear with its terrifying momentum, Zeus said while Plasma dripped from its mouth again. It could be said that in the battle with Nicholas, its only role was to defend as much as possible in the battle. As for attacking, in a battle with Nicholas, it, Zeus, could never attack in this lifetime. If it used Thunder to attack, wouldn't it be fucking charging Nicholas?
"..." And at this moment, Big Mom, who was in a State of explosive anger, felt the terrifying Aura emanating from the Lightning Spear, and her pupils couldn't help but shrink, revealing a hint of seriousness. However, dodging was impossible. As the Queen of Totto Land, her dignity did not allow her to do anything that would damage her majesty.
"Elbaf Spear... Conqueror's Kingdom!" She roared, then gripped Napoleon's Sword hilt with both hands simultaneously. At the same time, Armament Haki rapidly covered the Sword Blade. Once the entire Sword Blade was completely enveloped by Armament Haki, a wisp of black-red Lightning coiled around Napoleon. Then, she suddenly used all her Power and fiercely slashed down at the unstoppable Lightning Spear in front of her!
Chi! As the Sword Blade fell, a milky-white Sword Beam with a diameter of over tens of meters roared up in an instant. The sharp Sword Beam contained within seemed to devour everything around it! If the Destructive Power of Might Kingdom was enough to deter a country, then the Destructive Power of Conqueror's Kingdom was undoubtedly enough to destroy a country.
