β¦The Xorath universe's ruins seemed to hum with tension as King Xorath's tale continued, his voice a low growl echoing through the shattered landscape. Sun Wukong leaned back on a jagged rock, his Ruyi Jingu Bang twirling lazily in one hand, his *Super Sun 2* aura flickering like a golden ember. His eyes glinted with anticipation, sensing the climax of Xorath's story. The bat-king's massive frame stood rigid, his wings twitching as the flashback to Universe 17 resumed, pulling them back to the moment of his vengeance. The air crackled, heavy with the promise of a battle that would shake the cosmos.β§

γπππ ππππππγ β¦ Yo, Bat-Bro, you left me hanging! So Don Golgo kicked your butt, dropped that Hajun bombshell, and just let you walk? C'mon, tell me you went back for round two! Gimme the juicy detailsβdid you smash that fake god?β¦
γππππ ππππππγ β¦ Indeed, Monkey King. His words about Hajun's orders fueled a fire within me. I refused to remain broken. I trained, tapped into a deeper well of power, and returned to Universe 17. My auraβ¦ it was different, a hundredfold stronger, as if the cosmos itself had forged me anew. I challenged Don Golgo again.β¦
β¦The flashback flared: Universe 17's obsidian citadels loomed under a sky of molten gold. Xorath, his wings now blazing with a dark, pulsating aura, stormed Don Golgo's throne room. The tyrant king rose, his spiked armor gleaming, eyes narrowing at the transformed Xorath. The battle erupted with ferocityβXorath's claws slashed with precision, his newfound power shaking the fortress. Don Golgo countered, his aura overwhelming, unleashing his deadly spells.β§
πππ πππππ: ππππππππ ππππ!
β¦Tendrils of corrosive moss surged, their toxic edges slicing the air. Xorath, faster now, wove through them, his wings cutting the mist apart. Don Golgo snarled, switching tactics.β§
πππ πππππ: ππππππ πππππ!
γπππ ππππππγ β¦ Ha! Same old tricks? Bet you laughed in his face, right?β¦
γKπππ ππππππγ β¦ I had no time for laughter. His blades of green energy rained down, sharp enough to cleave stars. But my new power matched his. I countered with strikes that cracked his armor, my aura burning brighter with each blow. The fight was evenβour clashes tore the citadel apart, pillars crumbling, skies splitting.β§
β¦The battle raged, Xorath's enhanced aura giving him an edge. His claws glowed with dark energy, parrying Don Golgo's blades and landing hits that staggered the tyrant. The ground quaked, molten rivers boiling over as their powers collided. Don Golgo's confidence wavered, his eyes betraying shock as Xorath pushed him back. With a final, earth-shattering strike, Xorath unleashed a torrent of dark energy, overwhelming Don Golgo. The tyrant fell, his armor shattered, blood pooling beneath him. Xorath stood over him, claws dripping, and delivered the killing blow, ending the false god's reign.β§
γKπππ ππππππγ β¦ I killed him, Wukong. Don Golgo's death avenged my parents, but it did not erase my hatred for the Six Absolute Heaven Kings. His defeat only fueled my rampageβuntil Hajun stopped me.β¦
γSππ ππππππγ β¦ Dang, Bat-Bro, you went full beast mode! Smashing a fake god like that? Respect! But Hajun's still out there, pulling strings like a cosmic puppet master. We're gonna track that spiky jerk down and show him what's up, right?β¦
β¦Xorath nodded, his aura still radiating a faint, menacing glow. Wukong grinned, twirling his staff, his mind already racing toward their next targetβHajun. The chapter ends with the flashback fading, the two warriors united by vengeance and purpose, the specter of the Absolute Heaven Kings looming larger than ever.β§
