--- Chapter 182 ---
Crackles~!
The sound of thunder echoed in the area.
Odin sighed when seeing this sight, looking down on the arena below with a complicated expression. Huo Yun'er stood beside her and enjoyed some pearl-sized grapes.
"Why are you so nervous? Not wanting to see your son lose?" Huo Yun'er poked Odin's pride a little, making the gray-haired elderly laugh.
"Haha~! I believed in my son, but your son is definitely scarier." Odin responded while leaning on the fence. He watched Thor standing in the arena with divine lightning covering his memorial tunic, causing every muscle in his muscular physique to tighten.
Even though Odin wasn't in the arena, he could feel Thor gathering energy/force in his body.
Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao sat on the ground with a scroll and a quill. He didn't show any intent or fighting spirit like Thor.
Well, this spar was unplanned. Thor suddenly challenged Huo Yuhao before they returned to Asgard.
It was to decide "Who's more manly." according to Thor himself.
"I hope this place could contain their fight," Odin commented solemnly.
Huo Yun'er giggled and replied, "We used Primordial Rune to cover all places that the Dragon Nest owned. It's somewhat different from yours, Odin, but don't worry. Even the strongest being in this world would take some time to destroy our Primordial Rune's Barrier."
"Well, you know Scathach, no?"
"You almost got killed by her a few months ago..."
"Haha..." Odin laughed nervously, remembering the God Slayer firing her red spear at him. To think a completely different Scathach from another world would appear out of nowhere.
Scathach is a famous warrior, but she is long dead in this world.
Dragon Nest's Scathach is more scary and menacing. Odin is trembling when hearing her name alone.
Huo Yun'er was amused by Odin's reaction as this perverted elderly had been offending Scathach in the past, receiving quite a backlash. If Scathach isn't holding back, Asgard will lose their all-father.
'Well, that's a different matter for a different day.' She thought while eyeing her beloved son.
'Hao'er has acquired an impressive set of abilities. He didn't talk much about them, but his Ink seems to possess a universal warping quality.'
...
...
Thor collided his fists against each other, creating electric shockwaves in the arena. "Here I come." He announced with a grin, taking a step forward.
Huo Yuhao's eyes calmly observed Thor's movement as he appeared on his left side. With a casual brush on the Fairy King's Canvas, Huo Yuhao created an ink ripple in the air and defended himself from Thor's punch.
BAM!
The God of Thunder's punch is not to be underestimated.
Huo Yuhao could feel the force behind Thor's fist was slightly lower than Indra's. No, by looking at his expression, Thor is not serious yet.
"Oh?" Thor's eyes brightened when seeing his attack nullified by Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao smiled because he was also interested in this world's divinity function. He flicked the quill in his hand and created storm-like strokes on the Fairy King's Canvas, causing a violent gush to push Thor away.
"What about this!" Thor shouted excitedly.
"Thunderous Chop!"
Thor changed his approach into a chopping motion, but the force behind it was still the same as before. The difference is the surface area, which is more signalment and blade-like.
Of course, Huo Yuhao wouldn't let Thor down and met his expectations.
SWOOSH!
"This is... Silk?" Thor watched his hand land on black silk, sinking but not strong enough to cut through it. The current intensity of his lightning couldn't create a sharp hand blade.
Huo Yuhao flicked his wrist again and manifested several long rubbers into the air, controlling them with his other hand. These rubbers moved based on his will, rotating like a pinwheel.
BOOM!
Thor dodged in time, but the rubber pinwheel caused a deep groove in the ground.
"Come again." Huo Yuhao smirked playfully, taunting the God of Thunder.
Thor accepted the challenge and increased the intensity of his lightning, charging forward with even more ferocious movement. As if he was a wild beast, he approached with intense energy.
Huo Yuhao scanned Thor's movement with the slightest delay and noticed something weird. That's not the posture of someone throwing a hand or launching a kick.
Then, something clicked in Huo Yuhao's head.
"Ah."
"Hammer."
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMM!!!
Thor held an empty air, but the destruction he caused was like a massive hammer hitting the floor. Cracks are spreading like a spider web, but Huo Yuhao is nowhere to be seen.
As the rubble and dust were dispersing, Thor used his divine sense to search for Huo Yuhao. He looked around to complete his observation but couldn't find Huo Yuhao's shadow.
Wait, Shadow?
If Thor remembered correctly, Huo Yuhao also has the power to summon shadow creatures. And He used it to kill Devil King's Descendants one year ago.
"Too late."
A drop of Ink flashed before Thor's eyes, smashing against his chest like a cannonball.
BAM! CRACK!
Thor anchored into the wall and was shocked by this surprise attack. He wanted to move from this unfavorable position, but the long rubbers Huo Yuhao created beforehand entrapped his body like snakes.
"Be careful, Thor." Huo Yuhao appeared while adding his last stroke on the Fairy King's Canvas. "This one is a little dangerous for you."
"You might want to use your Mjolnir for this."
"You Crafty Bastard." Thor couldn't believe this guy.
Thud!
With a firm step landed on the arena, everyone could see another Thor created from Huo Yuhao's drawing. Its appearance is exactly like Thor's, except for the darkness-filled eyes and paler complexion than the real one. And not to mention the divine lightning that covered its body, which flared with such intensity.
A replica of Thor seems like a twin brother he never had.
On the podium, Odin was "utterly." shocked and screamed, "HOW?!"
Replicating a god is no joking matter. Huo Yuhao has to mimic everything Thor possesses, from physical quality to his very divinity.
It's understandable if they had known each other for years and lived together, but Huo Yuhao only met Thor once. ONCE!
Odin has witnessed Loki mimicking Thor and some gods from another pantheon, but even the God of Mischief couldn't do something this absurd with his ability.
'You told me he could copy my son in just a few exchanges? You gotta be kidding me.' Odin frowned while thinking about Huo Yuhao's secret.
Huo Yun'er rolled her eyes and scoffed, "Don't be too shocked. Hao'er is one in a trillion million talent, according to my mentor."
"Everything you have seen and heard about him until now is the tip of the iceberg." She proudly added.
"And bear in mind, even when Hao'er was angry... He never used his full power. It would be too destructive for this and our home world."
Back in the arena, the Ink Thor created a hammer made of lightning and kicked the ground. This copy's movement is exactly like the real one, from muscle movement to mannerisms.
As the Ink Thor dashed forward, Thor couldn't hold his grin and released more intense lightning. He grabbed thin air and summoned a majestic-looking hammer.
Mjolnir is a giant hammer with a black outer frame with a blue structure throughout its entire design, from the head to the handle. There is a Norse symbol on its middle piece.
CRACKLES!!
The divine lightning struck the arena and burned the restriction Huo Yuhao placed on Thor's body. The God of Thunder firmly grabbed his weapon's handle and released this powerful aura.
Thor threw himself toward the clone and swung Mjolnir, causing a ripple in the space fabric. Electricity danced and caused thunderclaps.
"Hammering Grind."
The Ink Thor reacted with the same movement and swung its lightning hammer at Thor.
The two hammers collided heavily, triggering a massive shockwave in the arena.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMM!!!
The tiles pulverized into dust and exposed the rune under the floor, but Thor is not "actually." focused on that. He looked at his clone and mumbled, "So, it's not just a cheap copy..."
"..." The Ink Thor stared at Thor emotionlessly. Even though Thor used excessive force, there is no scratch on Huo Yuhao's Ink Creation.
Thor grabbed Mjolnir with two arms and used 50% of his strength to stop playing around. It's time for him to end this spar. He breathed in and roared, "AAAAAAAAGGHHH!"
The battle cry shook the clone, letting Thor release a more powerful technique.
Thor bent his knee and swung his hammer like a half-moon. The arena was showered by divine lightning as everything became bright.
"DIEEEEE!!"
KABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMM!!
Thor grinned while looking at nothing before his eyes. The clone has been crushed into nothingness by his attack.
SWOOOOOSH!
"Good fight." Huo Yuhao suddenly appeared and slammed his fist against Thor's chin, sending him to fly back to the wall again.
BAM! CRACK! BOOOM!
Thor fainted on the spot yet still held Mjolnir tight in his right hand.
"H-He won..." Odin was speechless.
He knew Huo Yuhao would win against his stubborn son, but not in this anticlimactic manner.
Huo Yun'er giggled and said, "See."
Then, something even more shocking happened before Odin's eyes.
The "Huo Yuhao." in the arena dispersed into a bunch of Ink.
"That was a good nap." Huo Yuhao yawned, leaning on the fence next to Odin.
Odin moved his eyes from the arena and fence next to him, rubbing his eyes continuously and questioning reality.
"Y-You, Arena, Thor..." He said brokenly, like a senile grandpa.
"Huh??!"
"Oh? That was my clone." Huo Yuhao replied casually.
"I made one before entering the arena."
"..." Odin.
'This guy is nuts.'
