Boom!
Hawk was heavily smashed down from the sky by a punch from Ikaris, his entire body colliding with the floating mountain behind him with a loud crash.
Under the loud noise, the petrified surface of the mountain peeled off.
Hawk's figure flickered, instantly appearing behind Ikaris, throwing out both fists.
His burning Little Universe condensed on his fists, delivering a series of dazzling yet deadly punches at absolute speed, like a Phoenix spreading its wings.
"Phoenix Wings!"
"Boom—"
Ikaris, who was also blasted away, crashed into a floating mountain. The immense Impact caused the already floating mountain to drift further to one side, then collide with another mountain with a rumble.
Hawk's figure vanished again, and when he reappeared, he was already above Ikaris's head.
He spread his palms, the burning of his Little Universe reaching its peak, and a brilliant Phoenix phantom instantly condensed.
"Phoenix Wings Soaring—"
The condensed Phoenix instantly spread its wings, like a soaring Phoenix, and with a cry, it swooped down towards Ikaris below.
Ikaris's eyes narrowed. The moment he got up, he shot into the air, quickly evading the attack range.
Rumble!
The floating mountain below vibrated and groaned under the fierce Phoenix Impact, finally seeming to break free from the zero-gravity zone, whistling through space, and crashing onto the ground of the Lost World with a thud.
The ground cracked in response, and the golden lava flowing beneath erupted like a volcano, gushing out fiercely.
But…
Ikaris was completely unharmed.
"Indeed!"
"There's a reason why the ultimate moves of Ultraman or saint seiya shouldn't be unleashed too early."
Hawk thought to himself as he watched his most powerful attack be perfectly dodged by Ikaris.
If it were the end of the battle, Ikaris, having taken that move, would be half-crippled even if he didn't die.
But the battle had just begun, and Ikaris's stamina and energy were still abundant, causing his killing blow to miss.
But it was fine.
Hawk raised an eyebrow.
"Again!"
"Die!"
Ikaris's eyes were cold, and his golden Heat Vision emerged once more.
But…
"I already told you, for a saint seiya, the same move is ineffective."
"Boom!"
Hawk's figure flickered again. Taking advantage of Ikaris's mid-air pause to fire Heat Vision, Hawk appeared at his side and sent Ikaris flying with a whip kick, his mocking laughter following close behind.
He was a little excited.
For no other reason.
A saint seiya is born for battle. It's just that, after his Little Universe reached the Seventh Sense, he rarely encountered battles that made his blood boil.
This was why he sparred with Thor on Mars every week.
He needed to fight.
And he wanted to fight.
And Ikaris, from the Eternal, known as the Marvel Superman, made him feel that blood-boiling sensation once again.
Gentlemen, I love to fight!
"Ha!"
"Shit!"
Turning to see Hawk's fist coming at him again, Ikaris instinctively cursed under his breath and rapidly ascended.
"Boom!"
Hawk's fist slammed into a mountain made entirely of edman metal, then he looked up at Ikaris, who had instantly flown into the sky.
The next second.
Boom!
Ikaris's figure also arrived in an instant, and with a bang, he immediately sent Hawk flying towards the ground below.
Their battle was in full swing.
Hawk and Ikaris's figures constantly switched, appearing in the air, between the floating mountains, and on the edges of the towering rainforests and golden lava fissures on the ground.
Ikaris, with his superhuman-like energy conversion, constantly absorbed the edman metal energy in the air to rapidly replenish his stamina and enhance his strength and speed.
Hawk's Little Universe burned continuously, and the power from his Little Universe also provided Hawk with an endless supply of energy.
Both of their moves were deadly.
This was not a competition, but a battle.
It was a battle to determine not only who was superior, but also life and death.
But this was hard on the strange creatures living in this Lost World.
Countless peculiar flying creatures constantly flew in the air, trying to avoid the aftermath of their battle.
The Impact from Hawk and Ikaris's fight was insignificant to them, but if they were hit or grazed, it would be fatal.
So…
For a time, the entire Lost World was thrown into complete chaos by the battle between Hawk and Ikaris.
Ikaris's eyes were cold as he stared at Hawk.
"Are you Ajak's person?"
"Tsk!"
Hawk scoffed at the remark. His figure flickered, reappearing behind Ikaris, and he delivered a whip kick in return: "Is that why you want to kill me? You don't want Ajak to know you're raising Deviants here?"
Ikaris's figure flickered, dodging Hawk's whip kick. With a bang, a sonic boom appeared, and then he suddenly appeared in front of Hawk, wrapping his arms around Hawk's waist, and with a whoosh, he carried Hawk and slammed him towards the dense rainforest below.
"Phoenix Feather!"
"Bang, bang, bang—"
Hawk, being carried and slammed downwards by Ikaris, had countless burning, steel-hard feathers shot from the wings of his Phoenix saint cloth. Like a dense arrow rain, they continuously pelted Ikaris, who was attempting to trade blows with him.
Ikaris's blue and gold battle suit was visibly torn to shreds at close range by the penetrating Phoenix Feathers.
But…
Ikaris's eyes were cold as he looked at the ground below, roaring.
"Ah!!"
"Boom—"
Like a meteorite hitting the earth, the ground vibrated at this moment, and the land on both sides suddenly warped upwards and then fractured with a snap.
A tremendous sound exploded throughout the entire Lost World, like a hammer striking, echoing thunderously in the ears of every creature living in this Lost World.
Flocks of Hell Hawks flying in the air plummeted from the sky under this dull, heavy sound.
The giant red-winged鳴蛇 also let out a wail, rapidly falling from the sky into the golden lava below.
Ikaris was in a sorry state. His once seamless blue and gold battle suit now looked like a tramp's clothes, tattered and torn, with golden blood flowing incessantly as he hovered in the air.
Hawk appeared close behind him.
He was also in a sorry state.
The light of the Phoenix saint cloth had dimmed, and countless cracks were visibly appearing in every corner of the saint cloth.
Blood also flowed from Hawk's eyes.
Their eyes met.
Ikaris's chest heaved as he gasped for breath.
Hawk also breathed heavily.
The next second.
Boom!
Their figures moved, their fists colliding once again. A huge Impact generated from their fists, and as the Impact swept across, the towering ancient trees beneath their feet, which had lived in the Lost World for an unknown amount of time, collapsed in response.
Bang!
Ikaris rapidly flew backward, his back slamming heavily against a floating mountain, then his face paled and he instantly spat out a mouthful of golden blood.
Hawk's back also struck a floating mountain, and he couldn't help but let out a muffled groan!
Ikaris wiped his lips with his right hand, glanced down at the golden blood on the back of his hand, then stood expressionlessly in mid-air again.
Hawk also took a deep breath, his figure suspended in the air, once again hovering with Ikaris.
On Skull Island.
Knowing they could leave today, Peter and Felicia stayed up all night. When the Sun rose the next day, the two, with dark circles under their eyes, sat in front of their stilt house, staring blankly in the direction of King Kong Canyon.
"Peter."
"Hmm."
"Did Hawk say when he'd be back last night?"
"No, I don't think so."
"Should we go check?"
Felicia suggested to Peter, looking at King Kong Canyon where Hawk hadn't appeared after being out all night.
Peter instantly shook his head and looked at Felicia.
"I'll go check, you can't."
"Why?"
"It's too dangerous there."
"Dangerous?"
Felicia, the older sister, smiled at the younger Peter: "Have you forgotten? When your powers failed, it was I who drove away that big-legged female monster."
Just kidding.
Did he really think she was just a pretty face?
She was also known as Black Cat, you know.
Peter's mouth twitched, but he continued to shake his head: "That's still not okay, you're pregnant. I'll go check and be back soon."
Felicia smiled at Peter, who was very insistent on this, and shrugged.
"Then forget it, let's wait a bit longer, you shouldn't go either."
"Oh."
Peter's reply was very direct.
Because he had almost blind faith in Hawk's strength, when Felicia said that, he no longer had the idea of going to King Kong Canyon to find Hawk.
Hawk could move through King Kong Canyon as if it were an无人之境.
He couldn't.
Let's wait a little longer.
Peter and Felicia exchanged glances, thinking, then both simultaneously turned their gaze back towards King Kong Canyon.
The next second!
Accompanied by a violent commotion from the direction of King Kong Canyon, immediately after, a blue and gold figure, like a missile being launched, instantly shot up from King Kong Canyon, and then with a bang, a sonic boom sprayed out, and he sped past into the huge storm system enveloping Skull Island without looking back.
As he flew outwards, drops of golden liquid dripped from his wounds.
The next second.
Boom!
Hawk, his Phoenix saint cloth covered in countless visible cracks, appeared in the air where Ikaris had just stood. His eyes instantly caught Ikaris, who had only delayed for less than a second before fleeing into the thick, multicolored lightning storm system.
Ikaris's figure, under Hawk's gaze, disappeared into the storm system, and his aura completely vanished.
Hawk stared expressionlessly at Ikaris, who was fleeing in a panic with his tail between his legs, and chose not to pursue.
Because his saint cloth—
Was shattered!
