Record of Ragnarok: Ouroboros

Chapter 18: Pierce All Things Pure

The fang of heaven devours all things that it deems malevolent.

"Yu Huang has pummeled Nobunaga into the corner, slamming him into a castle with a single punch!" Heimdall proclaimed, leaving the human audience in shambles, with the god audience mocking the humans by their representative's performance.

Yu Huang looked at his audience with a disappointed stare as they mocked the humans, making them stop as Yu Huang and the other Chinese Gods judged them by their narrowed stares.

"Those peanut galleries, they can't even respect geezer. I'm surprised he didn't forfeit to humanity to spite them." Wukong sighed as he stared at the audience.

"They are pretty annoying as always, huh? Go figure!" Baihu cackled.

"It's probably best just to ignore them. It's not like they are going to provide anything useful other than cheering for Lord Yu Huang," Qinglong nonchalantly said, putting the back of his palm on his chin.

"Come on, cheering is useful too, you know! I mean, they always said moral support helps, right?" Xuanwu said, shrugging his arms as the three looked back at the arena where Yu Huang was still warming up.

"Let's just hope that lord Yu Huang wins with his martial arts alone. If he was forced to use that, we might need to run away before things get worse." Zhuque proclaimed before another voice cut in.

"However, that is going to be an issue, considering that the human hasn't revealed his ability yet," Nezha stated before continuing. "All lord Yu Huang needs to do now is to finish this fight as quickly as possible."

At the arena, Yu Huang took a close look over the destroyed castle that Nobunaga crashed into before taking a long sigh at the sight. "Knowing you, staying there for too long isn't your move since we saw it already. And then..." Yu Huang continued before moving his head to the side as a bullet flew near toward his head.

"You wouldn't last 10 seconds without trying to kill me while we're distracted." Yu Huang said as he turned his head behind him to see Nobunaga aiming his gun at him.

"Damn it, if only you weren't this smart..." Nobunaga muttered as he unleashed another barrage of bullets toward the emperor. Yu Huang took a deep breath before effortlessly dodging the projectiles using his footwork.

"Nobunaga launched a furious rush of bullets. But Yu Huang dodges every projectile coming toward him!" Heimdall cried out as Yu Huang approached Nobunaga while swiftly dodging the projectiles.

"Tch." As Nobunaga kept on launching his bullets at Yu Huang, his eyes moved to the left for a brief moment before stopped firing his gun and ran away to the left. "With a stage this large, I can do the most of it!"

"Nobunaga has fled from his opponent, hiding inside of the darkness on Yu Huang's turf!" Heimdall commented a grin appeared on the emperor's face before Yu Huang began jumping up and down to gain momentum and rushed toward the daimyo at high speed.

"Hahaha! I don't blame him. I don't even want to fight that guy without proper preparation, let alone fighting right away like wild animals." Dionysus mocked the daimyo before taking another sip from his drink.

"This might be a tactical withdrawal, that human knows he cannot outrun lord Yu Huang nor can he hide forever," Athena proclaimed, analyzing the arena and the fighters from above with precision.

Meanwhile, the mysterious cloaked god mockingly laughed at Nobunaga retreating and hiding inside the shadows of Yu Huang's turf. "Yeah, keep hiding! You might even be able to sneak through and kill him! Haha!" The god quickly stopped his mocking before changing his entire tone. "Not like it matters or anything. Soon, you'll be hunted down like a rabbit with an arrow struck in its neck. You are not the hunter with a gun in this scenario, human...He is."
