"Damn it!"
Since Lynch entered his semi-animal form, Loki's attacks had been suppressed. Each of Lynch's punches hit with such force that it took a while for the pain to fade.
Under this overwhelming power, Loki began to retreat, not by choice, but out of necessity. Even though he dug his legs into the ground, it didn't help.
Five meters... ten meters... fifteen meters...
Loki continued to retreat, leaving deep trenches in the ground from his legs.
"Thunder Fist!"
Loki, though incredibly powerful, lacked any additional attributes. As Lynch's fist crackled with lightning, Loki prepared to clash again.
Click~
The bones in Loki's hand twisted, causing him to flinch in pain and momentarily lose focus. Lynch took advantage of the opening, delivering a powerful punch that sent Loki flying.
He crashed into several walls, falling like a ragdoll before finally coming to a stop. His body was a mess, and his pride was shattered.
"Damn, damn, damn! You forced me to do this!"
Being defeated in strength, an area where Loki prided himself, was unbearable. It was a blow to his ego that he couldn't accept.
For the young and proud giant king, failure was unacceptable.
Despite the pain, Loki straightened his broken bones and began pressing on various acupuncture points across his body, as if trying to release something.
Lynch, sensing the change, was about to approach but quickly backed away, preparing for whatever was coming next.
"Ahhh!!!"
Loki screamed as the pain from his muscles became unbearable.
His muscles rapidly expanded, growing like a massive mountain of flesh. Anything that came into contact with it—furniture, stones—was crushed and consumed by the overwhelming mass.
The wriggling mass of flesh resembled a terrifying predator, devouring everything in its path. Within seconds, the entire palace was consumed by the moving mass, leaving nothing but a massive, undulating pile of muscle within a few hundred meters.
"What the hell is this? It's disgusting," Lynch said, feeling nauseous.
Tom took a puff of his cigar, exhaled a cloud of smoke, and formed a line of large characters in the air: [Kind of like Tom's cousin.]
"Brother..." Hilda cried softly, clearly distressed.
Suddenly, the muscles in the room began to contract, shrinking until Loki's original form returned. However, now he stood at 35 meters tall, much larger than before.
His muscles were massive and still trembling, with tendons and veins bulging out as if they were about to burst.
The muscle mass seemed to have been pumped with hormones, making him look even more monstrous.
At this point, Schwarzenegger would seem small in comparison to Loki. The only thing unchanged was Loki's head.
His head appeared out of place on his enlarged body, like a child's head on the body of a muscle-bound man.
The swelling muscles on his shoulders covered his head, leaving only his eyes, nose, and mouth visible.
"It's so ugly," was Lynch's first reaction. "The more I look at it, the worse it gets."
"I am a Paramecia Muscle Fruit user," Loki declared. "Watch out, I'll use these muscles to crush you!"
With a sudden push of his legs, Loki launched himself like a beast, his hands gripping the ground. The force caused a massive crater to form, and the already weakened palace collapsed entirely.
Loki transformed into a high-speed spinning missile, charging at Lynch with his muscle-covered body as a weapon.
"I see you're relying on muscles," Lynch said, before quickly countering.
"Six Styles: Paper Arts!"
Lynch's body became light as paper, effortlessly evading Loki's attack. Loki crashed into a distant mountain with immense force.
"Boom~"
Loki knocked down another large mountain. Once, Garp had flattened eight mountains with his boxing, but now Loki was smashing mountains with his head.
"King of West Blue!!!" Loki roared from the other side of the mountain, his voice echoing through the range.
He grabbed the peak of the collapsed mountain with both hands, raised it high above his head, and with a powerful thrust, sent it flying through the air.
The peak ignited, creating blazing flames, resembling a giant meteorite racing toward the holy mountain.
Loki intended for everyone who could uncover his secret to be buried with him.
"Hey, why is it getting dark?" Doner, exhausted from climbing back to the Holy Mountain, lay on the ground, trying to catch his breath. Before he could rest, he noticed the sky growing dark.
Looking up, Dorna almost lost control in fear, "Damn it!"
If he had known that coming up here could get him killed, he would have stayed at the bottom of the mountain and dealt with the villagers instead.
"Sixty million volts—Thunder Snake!"
Lynch slowly opened his hands, releasing a surge of lightning. Blue bolts filled the sky, swirling like giant pythons, covering the entire sky.
As the fiery mountain peak entered the path of the lightning, the bolts seemed to come alive, intercepting and drilling into the mountain.
Rumble~
The mountain exploded, shattering into powder that fell like snowflakes, creating a beautiful sight.
The crackling thunder and lightning added to the stunning scene, making it one of the most breathtaking sights in the world.
Dorner stood frozen, amazed.
What power is this?!
He, Dorner, felt like he had found the one he had been searching for.
"It's rude to come without giving something in return."
"One hundred million volts—Thunder Gun!"
A Six King Gun made of lightning appeared in Lynch's hand. To avoid killing Loki, Lynch coated it with a layer of Conqueror's Haki.
"Go!"
The Six King Gun was launched, tearing through the clouds between the two mountains. Loki's expression shifted in shock.
"Muscle Muscle·Fire Gun!"
As the giant king, Loki refused to step back, even with the unknown ahead.
Without hesitation, he quickly punched with both arms. The speed of his punches compressed the air, creating powerful shockwaves.
The fists rubbed against the air, generating an effect similar to the Mera Mera fruit's "Fire Fist," but with a layer of flames on the outside and shockwaves inside.
Hundreds of shockwaves collided with the thunder gun in mid-air, but the thunder gun showed no sign of slowing down.
In Hilda's sight, she only saw the thunder gun crashing down, followed by a massive explosion and the collapse of a thousand-meter-high mountain, sending dust soaring into the sky.
"Cough, cough, cough," Hilda choked on the flying dust and coughed.
"Brother~" She reached out her hand, as if trying to grab something, but then let it fall.
"Don't worry, your brother is probably not dead," Lynch reassured her, patting Hilda's shoulder.
Even though Loki was as strong as a bullfrog on protein powder, his physical abilities were nearly on par with those of a phantom beast.
It's not easy to die.
Lynch feel that Loki's strength is almost on par with an Admiral's. If he were to face Ryokugyu, they might have an intense battle.
Loki is at level four, while Ryokugyu is at six.
And keep in mind, Loki is still in his twenties. The giant race truly has some incredible geniuses.
