[Last Episode: Wuling watches him go, knowing the history between them isn't over]
Chapter 87, Episode 87
[In the Wukong Realm, after Zhao Yu's departure, Monkey Wuling sat in her chamber, reflecting on their conversation]
[She spoke to herself about the history of their battles, the draws, the wins, and the losses]
Wuling: Zhao Yu and I...our battles are legendary among the Wukongs, I think of my daughter, Angela Reed. She awakened her Monkey form...a powerful transformation.
[Monkey Wuling said to herself. She then spoke aloud to an unseen presence]
[Angela Reed, Monkey Wuling's daughter, had indeed awakened her Monkey form—a transformation that wasn't easy to master]
[The Monkey form granted immense power but required control and training]
Wuling: It wasn't easy teaching her, Angela's power in her Monkey form is great. I've trained her well
[Monkey Wuling said, a hint of pride in her voice]
>The scene shifted back to the past, to one of the many battles between Zhao Yu and Monkey Wuling<
[In a dense forest of the Wukong Realm, under a canopy of ancient trees, the two fought with intense focus]
[Zhao Yu wielded his lance with deadly precision, while Monkey Wuling countered with her polearm, both moving like whirlwinds]
[In the past scene, Zhao Yu landed a hit, but Monkey Wuling countered swiftly]
Wuling: You are strong, Zhao Yu," she said during the fight, But the Wukongs' power is not to be underestimated.
[Zhao Yu laughed amidst the battle]
Zhao Yu: I don't underestimate. I test the limits of power against yours, Wuling.
[The battle ended in a draw that day, both acknowledging the other's skill.
[The scene faded back to the present]<
[Monkey Wuling spoke again about Angela Reed]
Wuling: Her Monkey form...it's a balance of power and restraint. I've taught her to harness it well.
[In the chamber with Monkey Wuling now was Wukong Kongming, who entered quietly]
Kongming: Monkey Wuling, all is well in the realm. The Wukongs are loyal.
[Monkey Wuling nodded]
Wuling: Good. Zhao Yu's visit...reminded me of the past. Of battles and of Angela's growth.
[Wukong Kongming bowefd]
Wuling: Angela Reed is a strong Wukong. Like her mother.
[The conversation in the Wukong Realm continued like this, with talks of history, power, and the relationships between the Wukongs and those like Zhao Yu who challenged them]
[As Monkey Wuling spoke about Angela Reed and the history with Zhao Yu, Wukong Kongming remained bowed slightly in respect]
[Monkey Mei entered the chamber as well, bowing down to Monkey Wuling]
Mei: My leader, The Wukongs are at peace. The realm is stable under your guidance.
[Monkey Mei said with a bow]
[Monkey Wuling nodded, her expression serene]
Wuling: Good. I've been speaking of Zhao Yu's visit and of Angela Reed's power in her Monkey form.
[Monkey Mei rose from her bow and stepped closer]
Mei: Angela Reed is a prodigy among the Wukongs. Her Monkey form...we've all seen its might. You've trained her well, Monkey Wuling.
[Wukong Kongming added]
Kongming: The balance of power in the Apeiron Kingdom is due to your leadership, Monkey Wuling. And Angela Reed...she'll be a leader among leaders.
[Monkey Wuling smiled slightly at the praise]
Wuling: Angela's path is her own. I've taught her control and power. The Wukongs must remain strong to protect the Apeiron Kingdom.
[The conversation turned to the daily matters of the Wukong Realm—patrolling territories, dealing with minor disturbances caused by creatures on the outskirts of the realm, and ensuring the Wukongs' power wasn't challenged by outsiders]
Wuling: We'll increase patrols in the eastern territories,There've been rumors of shadow creatures moving in those woods.
[Monkey Wuling decided]
[Monkey Mei nodded]
Wuling: I'll see to it, Monkey Wuling. The Wukongs will patrol and secure those areas.
[Wukong Kongming spoke up]
Wuling: The ancient magic of the Apeiron Kingdom is strong. We'll ensure no outsiders disrupt the balance.
[As the conversation continued, the scene shifted slightly to show Angela Reed in a distant part of the Wukong Realm, training in her Monkey form]
[She moved with incredible speed and power, transforming between human and Monkey forms seamlessly. Her training was intense, guided by lessons from Monkey Wuling]
[Back in Monkey Wuling's chamber, the discussion turned to future plans for the Wukongs]
Wuling: The Wukongs will participate in the upcoming Multiverse Gathering, We'll show the power of the Apeiron Kingdom.
[Monkey Wuling said]
[Monkey Mei smiled]
Mei: We'll make the Wukongs proud, Monkey Wuling. The Gathering will be a display of our strength.
[After 3 days of being away on adventures in the Chaos Universe, Angela Reed finally arrived at the Apeiron Kingdom]
[She came to visit her mother, Monkey Wuling, in her chamber]
[Angela was excited to see her mom after 3 years of adventures away from the Apeiron Kingdom]
[As Angela entered the chamber, she ran to Monkey Wuling with a big smile and hugged her mom tightly]
Angela: Mom!!
[Angela exclaimed, hugging Monkey Wuling after 3 years of being apart]
[Monkey Wuling hugged her back warmly]
Wuling: Angela!, My daughter! It's been too long. I've missed you. How were your adventures in the Chaos Universe?
[Angela stepped back but kept her hands on her mom's arms]
Angela: It was amazing, Mom. I learned so much and fought in battles. I'm stronger now.
[Zhao Yu was in the chamber, observing the reunion]
[He smiled at Angela]
Zhao Yu: Ah, Angela Reed. You've grown stronger. The Chaos Universe's battles must have been...enlightening.
[Angela turned to Zhao Yu, her eyes narrowing slightly but with a hint of respect]
Angela: Zhao Yu. You've fought Mom for years. I heard about your battles.
[Zhao Yu chuckled]
Zhao Yu: Years of draws and wins. Your mom, Monkey Wuling, is a formidable opponent. And you...in your Monkey form...I've heard you're powerful too.
[Angela looked back at Monkey Wuling]
Angela: Mom, I want you to train me more. Don't go easier on me. I want to be stronger for the Multiverse Gathering.
[Monkey Wuling's expression turned serious]
Wuling: Angela, I won't go easy. You'll train hard with me. The Multiverse Gathering is a test of power and strategy. We'll prepare you well.
[Angela nodded firmly]
Angela: I want that, Mom. I want to show the Wukongs' power and mine.
[The conversation turned to the Multiverse Gathering]
Wuling: The Wukongs will participate,We'll show our strength among the realms. Angela, you'll be part of it. You'll fight in the demonstrations.
[Angela's eyes lit up]
Angela: I'll do my best, Mom. I'll make the Wukongs proud.
[Zhao Yu spoke up again]
Zhao Yu: The Multiverse Gathering...interesting. I'll be watching, perhaps. Who knows? Maybe I'll even...attend.
[Monkey Wuling glanced at Zhao Yu]
Zhao Yu: You? Attend the Gathering? Zhao Yu, you don't usually involve yourself in such events.
[Zhao Yu's smirk returned]
Zhao Yu: I might surprise you, Wuling. The Gathering could be...amusing. Angela Reed's skills in her Monkey form...I'd like to see them in action.
[Angela smiled confidently]
Angela: I'll show you, Zhao Yu. And everyone at the Gathering. I'll be strong.
[The scene extended with Monkey Wuling discussing training regimes with Angela, focusing on enhancing her Monkey form's power and control for the Multiverse Gathering]
[Zhao Yu watched with interest, occasionally commenting on their interactions]
[As the day went on, Angela trained with Monkey Wuling, pushing herself hard]
Angela: Harder, Mom, I want to be stronger!
[Angela said during a sparring session]
[Monkey Wuling nodded]
Wuling: Then I'll push you harder, Angela. Show me what you've learned in the Chaos Universe.
[The training was intense, with both using their Monkey forms, moving at incredible speeds, and clashing in controlled battles]
[Zhao Yu observed, sometimes offering a comment on their techniques]
[After the training, they spoke more about the Multiverse Gathering—strategies, potential opponents, and the Wukongs' goals]
[As the preparations for the Multiverse Gathering continued, Monkey Wuling discussed strategies with Angela Reed and the other Wukong leaders, Wukong Kongming and Wukong Mei]
Wuling: Wukongs will demonstrate power and unity at the Gathering, Angela, you'll be a key part of our demonstrations. We'll show the might of the Apeiron Kingdom.
[Monkey Wuling said]
[Angela nodded, focused]
Angela: I'll do my best, Mom. I've been training hard in my Monkey form. The Wukongs' coordination will be crucial. We'll work on synchronized movements and strategies for the demonstrations.
[Wukong Mei smiled]
Mei: The Wukongs are ready. We'll impress the other realms at the Gathering.
[Zhao Yu, still observing from the sidelines, spoke up]
Zhao Yu: Impressing others is one thing. But true power is shown in challenges. Will there be challenges at this Gathering?
[Monkey Wuling glanced at Zhao Yu]
Wuling: There will be demonstrations and possibly challenges from other realms. The Wukongs are prepared.
[Angela looked at Zhao Yu with a hint of challenge in her eyes]
Angela: We'll show our power. Not just in demonstrations but in any challenges that come.
[Zhao Yu chuckled]
Zhao Yu: I look forward to seeing that, Angela Reed. You have your mother's spirit.
[The scene shifted to the Wukongs preparing for the Multiverse Gathering—training, strategizing, and rehearsing their demonstrations]
[Angela Reed was central in many of these preparations, honing her skills in her Monkey form]
[In one intense training session, Angela fought against Wukong Kongming and Wukong Mei in a three-way battle]
[Monkey Wuling watched closely, offering pointers]
Wuling: Focus on agility and power shifts in your Monkey form Adapt to both opponents.
[Angela nodded, moving swiftly between Wukong Kongming and Wukong Mei, using her Monkey form's speed and strength]
[The battle was intense but controlled, showcasing Angela's skills]
[After the training, Monkey Wuling spoke about the Wukongs' reputation at the Gathering]
Wuling: We'll uphold the Apeiron Kingdom's reputation. The Wukongs are known for power and strategy.
[As the day of the Multiverse Gathering approached, excitement and anticipation grew among the Wukongs]
[Angela Reed was more focused than ever, knowing she'd represent the Wukongs prominently]
[In a quiet moment before the Gathering, Angela spoke to Monkey Wuling]
Angela: Mom, I'm nervous but ready. I want to make you proud.
[Monkey Wuling smiled, hugging Angela]
Wuling: You'll do great, Angela. I'm proud of you no matter what. Show the Wukongs' power.
[Before the battle between Angela Reed and Kaito Yamato begins, they talk about their abilities and what to expect in the fight]
[Angela Reed faces Kaito Yamato, a powerful Monkey from a distant realm]
Kaito is known for his mastery of the "Kokoro Technique," which allows him to read and counter opponents' moves with uncanny precision.
Kaito: So you're Angela Reed, I've heard of your powers. Many manipulations and abilities, yes?
[Kaito Yamato says, his eyes narrowing as he assesses Angela]
[Angela smiles confidently. "I have a range of abilities]
[But in the Monkey form, my powers amplify. You must be Kaito Yamato. I've heard of the Kokoro Technique]
[Kaito nods]
Kaito: I read movements, anticipate attacks. But your range of manipulations...that could make this battle interesting. Are you ready to test your Monkey form's limits?
[Angela's grin widens]
Angela: I'm always ready. My Monkey form lasts 10 minutes. We'll see how long you can keep up.
[Kaito's expression is calm. "In that time, we'll decide who prevails]
[The Multiverse Gathering audience will see a true test of power.]
[Monkey Wuling watches from the sidelines with interest]
Wuling: Angela's opponent is strong. Kaito Yamato's Kokoro Technique is feared in many realms.
[Zhao Yu comments]
Zhao Yu: A battle of strategy versus raw power and manipulation. Angela Reed has many tricks.
[The battle between Angela Reed and Kaito Yamato is about to begin]
[Angela is in her Monkey form, with all her powers at her disposal]
[Kaito Yamato readies himself, using the Kokoro Technique to prepare for Angela's onslaught]
[The fight between Angela Reed in her Monkey form and Kaito Yamato begins]
[Both opponents move swiftly, sizing each other up in the arena of the Multiverse Gathering]
[Angela opens with a flurry of strikes using her Extreme Martial Arts expertise, amplified by her Monkey form]
[Kaito Yamato counters using the Kokoro Technique, predicting Angela's moves and deflecting or dodging attacks with minimal effort]
Kaito: Your speed is notable, But can you catch me off guard.
[Kaito says during a brief pause in the action]
[Angela smirks]
Angela: I'll use more than speed.
[She unleashes a Gravity Manipulation, altering the gravitational forces around Kaito to throw him off balance]
[Kaito adapts quickly using Kokoro Technique, adjusting to the changed gravity and countering with a precise strike aimed at Angela's center of gravity]
Kaito: You manipulate gravity? Interesting.
[Angela counters with a Spatial Manipulation, briefly teleporting to avoid Kaito's strike and reappearing behind him to launch a Zebub Devour absorption attack, attempting to absorb Kaito's energy and movements]
[Kaito Yamato anticipates this using Kokoro Technique and creates a burst of counter-energy, disrupting Angela's absorption attempt]
Kaito: You can't absorb what I don't give,
[Kaito says, launching a powerful kick]
[Angela blocks the kick using her amplified strength in Monkey form and retaliates with a Galactic Maelstrom, creating a localized distortion of space-time to pull Kaito in and unleash a cosmic storm of attacks]
[Kaito Yamato is pulled into the vortex but uses the Kokoro Technique to navigate the unpredictable attacks, looking for an opening]
Kaito: This storm is fierce but predictable in its chaos.
[As the battle rages on, both display their full range of abilities. Angela uses Elemental Manipulation—shifting between fire, water, and earth elements in her strikes to keep Kaito guessing]
[Kaito counters by reading these shifts through Kokoro Technique and adjusting his defense accordingly]
[The audience at the Multiverse Gathering is on the edge of their seats, cheering the intense battle between Angela Reed and Kaito Yamato]
[Monkey Wuling watches with pride, noting Angela's skill]
[Zhao Yu comments to nearby observers]
Zhao Yu: Angela's power is vast. Kaito Yamato's technique might be the match for her manipulations.
[The battle continues with both pushing their limits. Angela's Monkey form has about 5 minutes left before it ends]
[As the battle between Angela Reed in her Monkey form and Kaito Yamato continues]
[Kaito decides to unleash a technique more powerful than anything Angela has seen so far—a technique he calls "Shin-Kokoro."]
Kaito: My Kokoro Technique allows me to read and predict movements, But Shin-Kokoro...it transcends prediction. It allows me to mirror and amplify my opponent's power against themselves.
[Kaito says during a brief pause in the intense combat]
[Angela's eyes narrow]
Angela: Sounds like a dangerous technique. But my Zebub Devour can absorb—
[Kaito interrupts with a smile]
Kaito: Shin-Kokoro makes your absorptions futile. I'll mirror your power, amplify it, and turn it back at you.
[Kaito Yamato activates Shin-Kokoro. Suddenly, Angela's movements and attacks are mirrored by Kaito, who amplifies them and directs them back at Angela]
[Angela attempts to use Spatial Manipulation to evade but finds Kaito's mirrored attacks follow her movements perfectly]
Kaito: The effectiveness of Kokoro Technique and especially Shin-Kokoro,is in its adaptability and mirroring. You can't outmaneuver what mirrors your own power.
[Kaito explains amidst the battle]
[Angela grits her teeth]
Angela: I'll break through!
[She unleashes a combination of Time Manipulation, Gravity Manipulation, and her God Fist—a punch that can erase targets with no trace]
[Kaito Yamato using Shin-Kokoro mirrors the God Fist's power and directs it back at Angela]
[Angela barely blocks the mirrored God Fist using her amplified strength in Monkey form, the impact shaking her to her core]
Kaito: The Monkey form's time is ticking, You have about 3 minutes left. Can you overcome Shin-Kokoro?
[Kaito notes]
[Angela retaliates with a Khaos Rendō, amplifying chaos around Kaito to make his movements unpredictable]
[But with Shin-Kokoro, Kaito not only adapts to the chaos but also uses Angela's own chaotic manipulations against her, creating a loop of unpredictable attacks that Angela struggles to counter]
[The audience is on the edge of their seats, amazed by the display of power and technique]
[Monkey Wuling watches intently, concerned about Angela's ability to overcome Kaito's Shin-Kokoro]
[Zhao Yu comments]
Zhao Yu: Kaito Yamato's Shin-Kokoro is a game-changer. Angela Reed is in a tough match.
[The battle rages on with both combatants pushing their limits. Angela's Monkey form has about 2 minutes left]
[Angela Reed thinks to herself during the intense battle against Kaito Yamato]
Angela: How is Kaito able to keep up with me in my Monkey form? In this form, I was able to defeat Ishtar...
[Kaito Yamato senses Angela's thoughts and intensifies his assault]
Kaito: My Kokoro Technique and Shin-Kokoro make me adaptable to any opponent
[Kaito says. He begins to beat Angela to a pulp for a long time, using every technique at his disposal including multiple new techniques: "Retsu-Kai" unleashing a devastating cascade of strikes, "Tenkai-Sen" creating a vortex of cutting winds, and "Kage-Kyoku" manipulating shadows to bind and disorient Angela]
[Angela's Monkey form's time limit ticks down rapidly]
[Under Kaito's relentless assault using Kokoro Technique, Shin-Kokoro, Retsu-Kai, Tenkai-Sen, and Kage-Kyoku, Angela weakens]
[Her defenses falter as Kaito's techniques overwhelm her]
[Her Monkey form's remaining time is less than a minute]
[As Angela's Monkey form weakens further, she starts to lose her advantage]
[Kaito Yamato lands a series of crushing blows using Retsu-Kai, and Angela stumbles back, her Monkey form flickering out as she gets severely weakened]
[With Angela's Monkey form gone, she collapses to one knee, breathing heavily]
[Kaito Yamato stands over her, victorious in this intense battle]
[Monkey Wuling rushes to Angela's side, concern etched on her face]
Wuling: Angela...are you okay?
[Angela looks up, her face battered but her eyes fierce]
Angela: I'm...fine, Mom.
[Kaito Yamato bows slightly]
Kaito: You are a formidable opponent, Angela Reed. Your skills in Monkey form were impressive.
[The audience applauds wildly for the incredible battle between Angela Reed and Kaito Yamato at the Multiverse Gathering]
[As Angela Reed, weakened but still fierce, talks with her mom Monkey Wuling after the battle against Kaito Yamato, Zhao Yu approaches them]
Zhao Yu: An impressive battle, Angela Reed,
You and Kaito Yamato...the clash of powers was something to see.
[Zhao Yu says, his eyes gleaming with interest]
[Monkey Wuling nods in agreement]
Wuling: My daughter did well. Though Kaito's techniques were overwhelming.
[Angela looks at Zhao Yu, a hint of challenge in her eyes]
Angela: You think you could've done better against Kaito Yamato, Zhao Yu?
[Zhao Yu chuckles]
Zhao Yu: Against Kaito? Perhaps. But his Kokoro Technique and those additional techniques...formidable. I'd want to test myself against him.
[Kaito Yamato, still nearby, overhears the conversation]
Kaito: I'd be interested in a battle against you, Zhao Yu. Your lance is legendary.
[Zhao Yu's smile widens]
Zhao Yu: A battle between us? That would be something. Maybe at the next Multiverse Gathering.
[The conversation turns to the implications of the battles at the Multiverse Gathering. Monkey Wuling discusses the Wukongs' performance with the other leaders]
Kongming: We showed our strength, Angela Reed's battle against Kaito Yamato was a highlight.
[Monkey Kongming said]
[Wukong Mei adds]
Mei: The Wukongs are respected more now among the realms.
[As the Wukongs and their allies discuss the outcomes, Angela Reed speaks privately to her mom]
Angela: Mom, I want to train harder. I don't want to be overwhelmed like that again.
[Monkey Wuling's expression is stern but proud]
Wuling: You will train harder, Angela. We'll make sure you're stronger.
[Zhao Yu, listening in from a distance, comments to Kaito Yamato]
Zhao Yu: Angela Reed won't stay down for long. She's got the drive of a Wukong.
[Kaito Yamato nods]
Kaito: I'll look forward to another battle then. Perhaps next time, the outcome will differ.
[The scene shifts slightly to show the Multiverse Gathering's closing ceremonies. Various realms participate, celebrating the battles and alliances formed]
[Kaito Yamato approaches one of Zhao Yu's subordinates, a man named Ryker Chen, and asks]
Kaito: Who is Zhao Yu? I want to test his powers in a battle.
[Ryker Chen declines immediately, a cautious look on his face]
Chen: You don't want to test Zhao Yu's powers, Kaito Yamato. Zhao Yu is known as the 'Legendary.
[Kaito's eyes widen with interest]
Kaito: The 'Legendary'? What does that mean?
[Ryker Chen explains]
Chen: Zhao Yu is called the 'Legendary' because of his unmatched power and skill with the lance. He's an experienced warrior who has fought against some of the strongest in the multiverse. People say he has the capability to destroy entire realms of the multiverse if he wished. Despite having fought Monkey Wuling in the past, Zhao Yu's power is on a level few can comprehend.
[Kaito Yamato is taken aback by the description]
Kaito: Destroy the multiverse? What— Why is he called the 'Legendary' then?
[Ryker Chen nods gravely]
Chen: Zhao Yu knows everything about his opponents. He's fought titans, gods, and powerful beings across the realms. His mastery of the lance is unmatched, and his strategic mind is as sharp as his blade. Even though he fought Monkey Wuling, Zhao Yu respects few opponents. He's a man who understands the depths of power and the art of war. That's why he's the 'Legendary.'
[Kaito Yamato looks at Zhao Yu, now seeing him in a different light]
Kaito: I see. So he's a force to be reckoned with and titans still exist??
[Zhao Yu, overhearing parts of the conversation, smiles faintly]
Zhao Yu: Ryker speaks truth. I am the 'Legendary.' But power is meant to be tested.
[Ryker Chen steps closer to Zhao Yu, a hint of warning in his voice]
Chen: Master Zhao Yu, you don't need to prove anything more. Your reputation precedes you
[Zhao Yu's smile doesn't fade]
Zhao Yu: Reputation is nothing without the test of battle. But I think Kaito Yamato and I...we might have a future match.
[The conversation ends with Kaito Yamato intrigued by Zhao Yu's reputation and power, and Zhao Yu seemingly amused by the interest]
