Song: Lords of Battle
Lord Boros sat upon his grand throne aboard the expansive Dark Matter Thieves' spaceship, poised to invade yet another planet that happened to cross their path. Amidst the preparations, he sensed a formidable presence within his ship. Growing impatient, Boros yearned for a worthy adversary within his vessel, hoping this mysterious intruder would provide the challenge he craved.
The sturdy metallic doors of the throne room met a relentless barrage, marked by the formation of dents and slashes, until a brawny feline warrior burst through, brandishing both a broadsword and a powerful battle hammer. Boros turned his attention to the intruder, noting the formidable aura that radiated from him, an unseen yet potent presence akin to a raging inferno, the magnitude of his power unmistakable. The warrior addressed Boros, his voice tinged with impatience as he sheathed his weapons on his person.
"There you are. I hope you pose a greater challenge for me than those feeble soldiers. I yearn for the blood of those who are strong."
His voice of tone was tinged with fervor and anticipation. Boros chuckled in amusement, intrigued by the feline warrior's eagerness to spill some blood. Boros rose from his throne, a hint of amusement in his eyes.
"Ah, how delightful. In the tradition of warrior protocol, let us indeed exchange names, as a prelude to our impending confrontation. I am known as Lord Boros, the dominator of the entire universe."
Boros boasted, his voice carrying a regal authority. The warrior, known as Thokk, scoffed in response to Boros' declaration, crossing his arms in a display of pride and defiance. "Your titles hold little weight, 'Lord Boros. I am Thokk, but known by many as the unstoppable Battle Beast, a name feared by all."
Lord Boros descended the steps before his throne, slowly closing the distance between himself and Battle Beast as he spoke.
"I once traveled far and wide, ravaging all that lay in my path, finding no opponent equal to my strength. After years of ceaseless boredom, I heeded the words of a seer who revealed that there was one being in the galaxy capable of reigniting my passion for combat."
"Well Boros, it would seem you are about to get what you are searching for. Just know if I find any hint of you holding back, I will rip you from limb to limb without any mercy or remorse in my eyes."
Battle Beast tightens the grip on his weapon, ready to fight. Boris lost his smile, before he stood in a brandishing stance.
"Hmph, that's precisely what my armor you see on me is for. It deliberately holds back my immeasurable, irresistible power constantly, so that I don't obliterate everything I see or step on instantly."
"I see, then let the battle commence! Come, give me your best shot!
Battle Beast charged forward with an earth-shaking movement, drawing his broadsword and releasing an enraged roar, aiming to bring it down against Boros. However, Boros exhibited remarkable reflexes, easily shattering the sword's blade with a single strike and swiftly retaliating with a powerful left hook, sending Thokk's blood flying from his mouth as the blow connected squarely with his face.
Despite not being felled by the initial blows, Battle Beast couldn't help but relish the pain, taking it as a sign that Boros posed a worthwhile challenge. As Boros launched another punch, which failed to yield the desired effect, Battle Beast smirked, seizing the opportunity to deliver a devastating punch to Boros' face. The impact left Boros sprawled on the ground that concaved underneath him, but not for long. With remarkable agility, Boros swiftly recovered, rolling away to regain his footing.
"Yes, this is what I was looking for! Bring stimulation to my existence!"
Lord Boros retaliated with a powerful backhand slap, sending Battle Beast hurtling through the air, momentarily disrupting his equilibrium. Without hesitation, Boros swiftly pressed the advantage, executing a flying jump kick with incredible force, knocking Battle Beast back against a metal pillar. Revovering from the impact, Battle Beast quickly rose, snarling fiercely in response. Without a moment's pause, he lunged forward with a raging charge, crashing into Boros's body with full force.
Battle Beast, driven by an almost primal ferocity, reared his head back, clamping down onto Boros's skull with his formidable fangs. Blood gushed from the wound as Boros's head nearly shattered under the immense pressure, releasing a pain-stricken shout. With a powerful punch, Boros retaliated, forcefully pushing Battle Beast away, causing the feline warrior to recoil.
Battle Beast reveled in the taste of Boros's blood, his feral grin spreading wider. Armed with his warhammer, Thokk charged towards Boros, his eyes glimmering with a dangerous spark. However, despite the severe pain and major bleeding. Boros was ready for the attack. He managed to block one of Battle Beast's fists with equal force, creating a shockwave of pure concussive force, yet found himself struck across the chest by the war hammer, sending him crashing into his throne, reducing it to rubble, and caving the wall behind him inwards.
Lord Boros's severely damaged armor began crumbling away, as he lowered his head.
"You've shattered my armor. You desired to see my power, so now I'll show you a demonstration. "
He declared, a mixture of determination and anticipation in his eyes, before crossing his arms, a surge of cyan energy coursing across his body. His light blue skin darkened to a midnight blue hue as his muscles expanded twofold. A spectacle of pink lightning erupted from his frame, filling the air with a crackling atmosphere as gusts of wind howled ferociously.
Battle Beast's anticipation heightened, his eyes glistening with a mix of excitement and anticipation. He had never encountered an adversary so extravagantly powerful, capable of generating such potent forces simply by channeling their aura. His eagerness intensified as he yearned to experience the full power of his current opponent, recognizing the possibility that this might be the most magnificent battle he'd ever fought, regardless of the outcome.
"It is time!"
Lord Boros uttered the words with unwavering determination, launching himself toward Battle Beast with incredible speed. His punch met resistance as Battle Beast caught it in his free hand, but he was unable to maintain his ground, getting blown away by the intensity of the force. The shockwave tore through countless metal walls as the two powerhouses grappled, the sheer might of the impact causing a trail of destruction in their wake.
The battle unfolded with astonishing speed, far beyond the speed of human perception. Boros's battleship succumbed to the colossal impact of their blows, crumbling like paper. In an intense exchange, they traded dozens of blows per second, each hit delivered with earth-shattering force. The fight was every warrior's dream, a nonstop barrage of ruthless, high-speed impact, blood coursing through their veins, driving both to push the boundaries of their strength.
The fight reached a brief pause as Battle Beast landed a devastating blow, ripping off Boros's right arm, leaving the muscular man temporarily disarmed. They were back-to-back, soaking in the gravity of the moment, their breaths filled with a mixture of exhilaration and surprise.
"Amazing indeed. Despite my power being unleashed, your strength remains on par with mine. We're experiencing the battle we've always longed for."
Battle Beast caught his breath, his chest heaving with satisfaction. He faced Boros with an eager gaze, a mixture of anticipation and determination. He said, his voice tinged with admiration, yet the thirst for a worthy fight still burning in his eyes,
"You're quite an intriguing adversary. Though I'm far from my limits, you manage to keep this battle thrilling. I won't relent until one of us meets a glorious end."
With that, Thokk punched the ground, creating a crater with remarkable ease, preparing himself to continue the grueling fight.
Boros, despite having lost his right arm, did not falter, maintaining an unrelenting pace as the battle raged on. Blow after blow was exchanged, the battlefield transforming into a chaotic battleground, debris and rubble scattering everywhere. Eventually, Boros managed to land a crucial strike, sending Thokk hurtling out of the ship, crashing through five buildings before he came to rest under the wreckage of the sixth collapsing onto him.
Lord Boros landed on the ruins of another building, his gaze fixated on Battle Beast as the warrior emerged from the debris, his body armored showing signs of damage. Thokk re-emerged, roaring in determination, unwilling to accept defeat with so much left to give. With blinding speed, Boros attempted a surprise attack from behind, only to be swiftly counterattacked by a powerful backhand from Battle Beast. Boros crashed into another building, his trajectory disrupted by the force of the strike.
With a sneer and a cocky smirk, Battle Beast crossed his arms, exuding an air of defiance. He warned mockingly,
"Don't get complacent. I won't go easy on you solely because I've rendered you down an arm. Perhaps, where you hail from, you embody the epitome of strength, but soon you shall taste the might of the genuine dominator in me."
Boros landed on the ground, his gaze shifting towards Thokk as he prepared to reveal a remarkable ability.
"You wish to comprehend my reign as the supreme dominator? Very well, then."
He declared, his voice resonating with power. Boros then focused his energy, channeling it into his head and arm, which began to emit steam and emit a radiant glow. With a primal yell, Boros forcefully regenerated his right arm and healed the bite mark Battle Beast delivered earlier. The transformation was astounding, a testament to his regenerative prowess. Battle Beast observed with intrigue, witnessing the rapid regeneration process unfolding before him.
"Impressive, indeed. It explains your nonchalant response to losing an arm earlier. Your regenerative abilities make any non-fatal damage inconsequential."
He got into position, mingling with a hint of challenge in his tone.
"Very well, then. Let us proceed. Feel free to make the first move for this round."
"You shall regret that."
Lord Boros lowered himself into a stance that resonated with primal ferocity, his form transforming once more. His skin took on a striking pink hue, accentuated by black veins and arteries coursing through his body, while his hair grew to an astonishing length. His power reached new heights, his presence exuding an overwhelming aura of menacing might as he prepared himself for the impending clash.
"Feast your eyes on my ultimate form: Meteoric Burst!"
Boros thundered, revealing his full power as he launched himself at blinding speed. With a formidable punch, he sent Battle Beast flying through the air, leaving him momentarily dazed. Boros, now moving with unthinkable velocity, struck with a series of rapid and forceful blows, raining down on Battle Beast so fast that it looked like four of him were attacking Thokk at once. The sheer speed of his strikes left Battle Beast momentarily overwhelmed, struggling to keep up with the flurry of attacks. Battle Beast, his eyes glimmering with excitement, exuded exhilaration at the unfolding spectacle.
"YES! THIS IS WHAT I HAVE BEEN LONGING FOR!"
Battle Beast yelled, elated by the unfolding confrontation. With a grin, he punched and kicked at the fleeting reflections of Lord Boros, each blow accompanied by a roar of joy. His enthusiasm was boundless, his eagerness for the fight evident in every strike.
"This is the duel I've been craving! Let me witness the extent of your power and abilities, Lord Boros!"
Lord Boros, his tone filled with conviction, explained,
"Yes, you're witnessing it all! The energy generated by my physical essence transforms into a propulsion mechanism, propelling me to exceed the limitations of mortal flesh!"
With a swift and precise strike, Boros delivered a devastating blow that tore through the landscape, causing vegetation to catch fire and stones to melt into molten magma, the sheer force and friction leaving a trail of devastation in its wake.
Lord Boros seized the opportunity to launch a powerful kick, sending Thokk crashing into the ground with explosive force, creating a blast. Yet, even in that moment, Thokk displayed remarkable resilience, swiftly rising and grappling with Boros's hands, locking into a stalemate. Both warriors refused to yield, battling with unyielding resolve, their arms locked in a relentless push, neither willing to give ground.
Lord Boros realized the strain he was enduring, revealing the toll his ultimate form placed on his body. His breathing grew heavy as he conveyed,
"Damn it. I thought that kick to your abdomen would have ended it, but you're still standing. My ultimate form, as powerful as it is, carries significant consequences. It drains my stamina and shortens my lifespan. I can only muster the energy for one or two more all-out attacks now, at most."
With a confident smirk, Battle Beast recognized the forthcoming climax of the battle. He urged,
"If this is truly your last offense, pour all your remaining strength into this final attack. Unleash the unyielding fury of your universe upon me. Let us go out in a spectacle of annihilation. I crave to experience you at your utmost powerful. Demonstrate every ounce of pain you have. Leave nothing held back!"
"All right then!"
Lord Boros declared, jumping back to gain space for one last stand. He concentrated his power and energy, gathering himself in a battle-ready stance.
"Let us attack together, with everything we've got, and we'll decide the winner based on who remains standing, even if it's for a fleeting second. Regardless of the outcome, you have proven your place as among the universe's strongest pantheon. Even in defeat, you shall be remembered."
"Let fate determine the victor!"
Battle Beast bellowed as he charged forward with unmatched speed. Though Lord Boros tried to strike from every angle, Battle Beast evaded each attack, their defenses unbreakable. In a matter of moments, Boros found himself punched in the chest, his ribs shattering with a resounding crack. The impact sent him soaring through the air, but he refused to falter, channeling the momentum to propel him high into the sky.
Lord Boros roared with determination, channeling the remainder of his colossal energy into a single devastating attack. He shouted in a furious voice,
"I will emerge victorious! I shall release every last drop of my power to erase you, and the surface of this world, out of existence! Collapsing Star Roaring Cannon!"
A blinding flare erupted from his being, the potency of the energy generating a cataclysmic blast capable of obliterating the surface of an entire planet.
Battle Beast bellowed in defiance, leaping into the beam with unwavering courage. Despite the overwhelming energy of the blast, he battled against it, pushing past its devastating power. The impact obliterated the planet's surface with immense force, resembling the collision of an asteroid, Yet Battle Beast endured, his determination undiminished as he continued to advance, pushing through the beam with sheer fortitude. To Lord Boros's shock, he caught sight of Battle Beast flying at him.
Before he could react, Thokk's clawed hand pierced his chest in gory fashion, gripping at his rapidly beating heart. With a growl, Battle Beast crushed it in a splatter of blood, and Boros's final words rang with admiration for his adversary, gripping onto Battle Beast weakly.
"You certainly proved to be a worthy adversary, Battle Beast. My defeat is undeniable today, but I achieved my ultimate desire: to test myself against the strongest. You truly are... strong."
Battle Beast, his heart full of honor, gave Lord Boros a brief moment of comfort by patting his back. But the moment of tenderness ended abruptly as he proceeded to rip Boros's body apart, letting his withered corpse crash to the hellish inferno below. The sight of a rescue ship approached Battle Beast. He chuckled in satisfaction, the thrill of the fight still coursing through his veins.
Strength: Okay, so for this match, I had my own calculations, I was looking forward to doing this match as it was much more even... and then Omni-Man vs Bardock came out, showing me how much stronger Battle Beast actually was which made this into a bigger curbstomp than it already was. But I'm not mad. Instead, I want to share what I got from my own research, and then how Death Battle corrected me.
Lord Boros with his ultimate attack, based on the original manga, could only raze the surface Earth, not destroy it outright. This would need a force of 70.8 Exatons of TNT. I knew of the Viltrum destruction feat before hand, and figured that it would've worked at an average 3.8 Yottatons. Making it initially a 54,285.7X difference. However, with Battle Beast now scaling to Omni-Man's durability of 8.6 Rontotons (8.6X10 to the power of 33), that increases it to a 443 quadrillion times difference. Even if I increased Boros's power to actually destroy the planet, that only makes him a little over 3 billion times weaker.
Speed: One Punch Man is a very fast series, but not exactly stupidly fast. Light speed wasn't a matched feat at this point of the story yet, but even if Lord Boros could reach 99% the speed of light, Battle Beast was still over 20 billion times faster as he scales to Viltrumite speed, instead of my personally calculated 133,000X difference.
Skill: Lord Boros seems to have the superior combat skill, as he fights with full martial arts, while Battle Beast is more of a mindful, but still battle hungry wild animal with weapons.
Experience: I'd say that Battle Beast has more experience, since he has more experience fighting opponents in his weight class.
Powers: Boros's healing factor would certainly saved him from a few fatal blows, but he burnt out his stamina after only about ten minutes of fighting seriously, while Battle Beast can fight against Thragg for days on end before finally succumbing to his wounds.
The winner is Battle Beast.
Next time:
"I'm all fired up!"
"I'm going to become a Harem-King!"
