National Destiny: Starting with a gender-swapped role as Artoria

Baki froze, standing there, staring at the Titan Ape...

The feeling at that moment was like punching a mountain that stretches to the horizon...

The mountains!

Towering and unmoving!

The Titan Ape's face was pushed open by Baki's fist, revealing its terrifyingly white and enormous teeth.

The two looked at each other.

Baki froze instantly...

"Fight me with your bare hands? Without using your soul skills? This freakish soul beast is really something else!"

They gazed at each other silently.

In an instant!

The Titan Ape's massive arm slowly moved backward, a preparatory motion for a forward strike!

Titan Ape!

Attack!

--Bang!--

A massive black fist struck Baki in the abdomen! It was too fast! There was no time to react!

Baki was instantly sent flying! He flew nearly ten meters away!

—Bang—Bang—Bang—Bang—

Just like skipping a stone on water! Baki's body bounced off the ground!

The sound kept ringing out! It bounced for eight times before stopping!

Finally, it landed on the ground, kicking up a huge cloud of dust!

"Holy crap, that's it? You're so confident in fighting me with your bare hands without using soul skills? Is that all you've got?"

The Titan Ape watched from the side, scratching its head dismissively.

—How did this guy even get in here?—

Slowly, the dust settled... Baki lay with his back to the earth, facing the night sky, his body in a starfish position.

The pupils have dilated...

Blade fang!

The surprise attack failed!

He was instantly killed!

Chapter Seventeen: Both Baki and the Titan Ape are male animals! But the Titan Ape has no martial ethics!

Baki lay on the ground, his pupils dilated, his consciousness soaring to the heavens.

What happened...? Was I defeated...? This guy... is so strong...

—Wa ...

Right at this moment!

A passionate voice rang out!

This is?!

Baki was terrified, because he felt the voice was very familiar!

Could it be...could it be my own father?!

Is it Yujiro Hanma?!

My own father is crying?! Why?! Is he...is he mocking me?!

Mocking me, Baki Hanma!

The Titan Ape slowly walked towards Baki's position, looking helpless.

"If it weren't for my sister's decent relationship with humans, I would have already killed you, you perverted soul master, with a single punch."

But the next second!

--Bang!--

The Titan Ape was stunned! It stared at the monstrous Soul Master who had suddenly taken to the air!

After the loud bang!

Baki Hanma suddenly leaped into the air as if defying Newton's gravity!

It remained in a lying-flat position throughout the entire launch and flew straight into the sky!

And below his back!

Besides the visible steam, a mysterious deep pit also appeared!

Inside the pit, an imprint was discovered!

It's a mark... but... but what formed it?

Is it sweat?!

wrong!

Is it blood?!

Not right either!

This isn't a liquid! It's really just a mark!

It's similar to placing a square piece of iron on sand; it will leave a mark.

And... moreover, this mark looks like the mark of an evil spirit!

Could it be that...?

Baki landed softly on the ground, as gently as a mosquito landing on a leaf! The silence was eerie! Terrifying!

Then turn around!

The Titan Ape opened its eyes wide!

It's an evil spirit!

Behind this Soul Master, there was a weeping demon's face!

Could it be that this deep pit was entirely created by the pressure of this Soul Master's back muscles?! So much so that the weeping demon was imprinted there!

Baki Hanma!

Ghost Back Activated!

The Titan Ape stared at the freakish Soul Master in front of it, its mouth agape in astonishment.

What an amazing human body!

The human body is so amazing!

But for Baki Hanma, was it merely the activation of the Demon Back?!

No! Your purity is still too low!

Yujiro's taunts were a huge blow to Baki!

it turns out!

She actually cried while opening the package herself!

Did that bastard dad lose his mind because he was too invincible?!

Who mocks someone while they're crying?!

This stimulation caused changes not only to Baki's body, but also to his internal organs...

Baki's brain has also changed! His brain is slowly... slowly taking on the shape of a demon!

Ghost back + ghost brain!

The current Baki, whether in terms of visual perception, physical strength, or agility...

They're all at their peak!

The current Baki is even confident enough to go toe-to-toe with his father, the strongest creature in the universe!

Baki turned around and looked at the Titan Ape in front of him, who was staring in astonishment with its mouth agape.

So surprised was the Titan Ape that it forgot to close its mouth, and saliva was drooling out.
