Kapitel 142: King of monsters vs oozaru

Vidar was currently speeding around the area, trying to get rid of the other teams queen, Bina. He could tell she was a decent opponent, but he would need all his strength to fight against Alex, and couldn't afford to spend some of it fighting her. After thinking it over the night after the marriage interview, he realized that Alex wouldn't be able to follow through on his threat with all the other gods watching. After realizing that he decided to show him the true strength of a god, but he was stuck with one of those under Alex chasing him. As she persistently followed him, they both suddenly heard the roar of a beast throughout the battlefield. They both turned towards the source of the sound, and Grayfia turned pale under her mask from recognition. Meanwhile Vidar had a look of confusion as to the origin of this thing, until the announcer shouted out,

"AMAZING, THE RED DRAGON EMPEROR HAS TURNED INTO A GIANT GORILLA! THIS IS AN ABILITY HE'S NEVER SHOWN US BEFORE, I WONDER WHAT THE REASON IS THAT HE BROUGHT IT OUT NOW!"

Both Grayfia and Serafall had turned pale, as they were the only ones present that had seen Alex turn into this form before. Meanwhile Irina also heard the announcement, and looked down from where she was flying above them, worried about him as she also witnessed his previous transformation. The person in question let out another roar as he looked for the moon goddess that was just in front of him, not knowing that Artemis took the time he was transforming to escape with her injuries.

Before Grayfia knew it Vidar shot towards Alex while wearing a new gray armor, determination in his eyes. She didn't know that his armor was the result of him forming a pact with Midgardsormr like Azazel did Fafnir before, and tried to follow him before realizing that his speed was now leagues ahead of hers. Vidar could already see the path to victory ahead of him, as with that giant form it was a sure thing he was faster. That was what he told himself, until a giant palm appeared in front of him. Vidar's mind blank for a second, and his only thought was, 'that's a big hand' before he was suddenly slammed into the floating island.

BOOM

"Nnnngggg..." Vidar groaned from inside the small crater his impact made, as he tried to figure out what happened. Before he could though, the same giant hand was now a fist, and came rushing right at him after slamming him down.

BOOM

The entire audience and those around him, (except Crom and Apollon) watched in shocked silence as giant ape Alex slammed his fist onto Vidar once more. The announcement of retirement didn't sound out, which meant Vidar had somehow held on after even that hit. Alex then pulled his fist back once more, preparing to hit Vidar a third time. However, as his fist was about to connect with him, he froze.

Everyone was wondering, why did he stop, what was going on? The questions only increased when Alex suddenly grabbed his own head, and started roaring as if in pain.

***

'ex...'

'Let me sleep...'

'alex...'

'I said let me sleep...'

'ALEX!!!'

The third time Alex suddenly woke up, or felt like he did. He was grabbing his head as if he was in pain, and roaring like a beast. 'What, is going on?' He couldn't help but wonder. Suddenly the voice in his head answered,

'You accidentally activated your oozaru form when Artemis used her divine aura. It took a few minutes, but Ddraig and I managed to bring your conscious back into control.' As she mentioned it, Alex did recall that he was about to defeat Artemis before, but after that was a blank. He was suddenly worried,

'You said it took a few minutes to get me under control, what kind of damage is there?!' Lauren replied,

'Thankfully you didn't really hurt anyone besides Vidar. After watching you transform he rushed you, but was pretty much instantly defeated. He's still hanging on somehow, but it won't be long before he retires.' At her words Alex looked down, and saw Vidar in the crater below him. He then wondered about another thing Lauren said,

'Moon gods can force a transformation?' Lauren sighed, and said,

'I guess, Artemis used her divine aura, and one of her divinities relates to the moon. It's possible that it was enough to force the change, I'd suggest taking better care around any moon gods you meet in the future.' Alex mentally nodded in agreement, and decided he would have to wear the glasses Azazel gave him as an extra precaution when meeting any gods in the future. He then turned his attention back to the match, just in time to see a message from Grayfia through his system.

-Are you ok?

Alex smiled, as she most likely trying to see if he could control himself. He sent a reply saying he was alright, and that he wanted to take his new form for a test drive. Before that though, there was a pesky chief god he wanted to teach a lesson.

***

Everyone was holding their breath in anticipation, as they watched Alex transform, rampage, then he started acting strange before he became weirdly calm. They then watched as he started moving again, and walked towards where he left the still unretired Vidar. Then, in front of the entire stadium full of people, along with all of those watching the live feed from the underworld, heaven, each of the mythologies, and all of those watching in the human world, Alex did something that would cause many (except the Norse) to look back on this match with laughter. Vidar on the other hand felt an increasing amount of panic as he couldn't move his body, as the giant, hairy, and most likely smelly, monkey butt came closer to him until he disappeared beneath it. All the millions of viewers watched as the current chief of the Norse gods, was sat on by a large ape.

For a few seconds everyone was dumbfounded, until someone started laughing, then it spread to the entire colosseum that wasn't from the Norse side. This went on for several minutes, until the arbitrator announced,

"King of monsters Typhon's rook retired."

It was only when this announcement rang out that Alex got up, and he turned to look at the gaping Typhon on a different floating island. Typhon was dumbfounded along with everyone else when Alex transformed, and was just now aware of the look Alex was giving him. Alex was on all fours after getting up, and rose to two feet and started pounding his chest while roaring at Typhon.

BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM

"RRRRROOOOOAAAAAAARRRRRRR!!!!"

Seeing the obvious challenge being directed at him, Typhon had a huge grin and said,

"I'll take that as you challenging me then. HA, I didn't think that besides Surtr I'd be facing an opponent my size in this tournament, I'm looking forward to this!" Not caring that his defeat meant his teams loss, Typhon immediately started charging at Alex on his serpentine lower body, spreading his wings to hop to the other island.

Alex decided to "enjoy the moment" and charged as well on all fours like a gorilla while roaring. As they both reached the edge of their own floating islands they both leaped, with Typhon relying on his wings and Alex on his momentum. Everyone was unconsciously holding their breaths as the two giants soared through the air. They watched as the two got closer, then as they clashed they both went flying back to Typhon's island as he was blown away by Alex's strength and momentum. Typhon was then sent rolling when Alex threw him after landing, which he swiftly corrected himself with a monstrous smile on his face. The two squared up, and Typhon took a deep breath.

Seeing what he was about to do, Alex simply copied him and started taking a deep breath as well, before they both released it. Instead of air, what came out of both of their mouths was a large amount of billowing flames. When the two flame breaths met in the center of the floating island, the result was a giant explosion of heat and fire as the surroundings either melted or were similarly set ablaze. The two continuously spewed fire as they both tried to overwhelm the other, and the audience watched in amazement as Typhon's fire was slowly being pushed back. Soon his flames were completely overwhelmed by Alex's, and the king of monsters was set ablaze like the surroundings.

It didn't take long for him to summon rain and ice to douse the flames, but Typhon was covered all over in severe burns, still grinning like a demon. He then took another approach and dove off the edge of the floating island, only to fly up a second later. After facing Alex once more, Typhon summoned a multitude of storms, rain, snow, hail, miniature hurricanes, and tornados. The magnitude of storms was then sent at Alex, obviously intending to either hinder him or throw him off the floating island. Alex just smiled, and opened his mouth wide. Typhon thought it was just going to be another flame attack, and smirked since he thought he was out of its range, until he saw the beam of light flying through his weather attacks right at him.

With mobility that didn't fit his giant form, Typhon dodged the beam of energy by a hairs breath, and didn't notice the giant ape flying through the the air right at him until it was too late. Grabbing onto him, Alex was too heavy for Typhon to carry and they both started falling through the air back towards the surface below. On the way down the two started punching each other, trying to get an advantage over the other before hitting the ground. Alex's giant hand slammed against Typhon's face, effectively knocking several of his teeth out and breaking his nose, making the giant grin even more.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, This is the best fight I've had in years red dragon, but I'll either win or take you with me!" He then spread his wings and started flapping as if to buffet Alex with the winds from them to separate them. Alex swung his fist and there was an nasty "CRACK" sound as the base of one of Typhon's wings was snapped. The king of monsters roared in pain, and was helpless as Alex flipped them over so that he was on top of Typhon, and he punched him repeatedly while the ground hurriedly rushed to meet them.

BOOOOOOOOM

As the screens showed the state of Alex and Typhon, they were both in a deep crater at the bottom of the tree. Typhon was covered in the wounds he sustained as they fought, a broken nose, several teeth missing, severe burns, and all of the broken bones from Alex's punches as they fell. Alex on the other hand was only covered in some cuts and bruises from the impact, and Typhon's punches as they fell. Alex stood on his hind legs once more over Typhon, and as if declaring his victory to the world, started beating his chest again and gave a mighty roar. It came as no surprise when Typhon was surrounded by the light of retirement, and the arbitrator announced,

"Typhon has been retired, as the king of his team it is now the red dragon emperor Alex's win!"

As the announcement rang out several people stopped in amazement, Crom Cruach and Apollon who were both covered in wounds from their own battle, Artemis who was hiding from the giant ape form Alex, Grayfia and Serafall who had watched the fight knowing Alex didn't want them to intrude, and finally the group led by Roygun who were already about to reach the top of the tree, and felt regret that they couldn't end the match. With all of them having their own feelings about the end of the match, it finally ended.
