Growing up
The battle between Arakan and Buddha continued as Arakan charged at him with his spear ready to pierce through.
Buddha seeing the strike jumped in the air, seeing the counter Arakan changed the direction of the spear and plunged it into the ground, and used the moment of the charge to launch himself up.
With his knee raised he grabbed Buddha's head and struck his chin with his knee. Not losing the moment Arakan twisted himself and then threw Buddha away.
Recovering mid-air Buddha raised his hands and stopped himself. With a huge grin present on his face cleaned the drops of blood around his mouth.
"Now you are getting into it, however, it is still lacking!" Buddha claimed as the Six Realms staff started to change yet again.
Third Realm: Human Realm, Unshakable Cord Kannon - Akshaya (Indestructible Vajra Sword)
The Six Realms staff now turned into a short sword with a golden hilt.
"Buddha..." Arakan muttered as he held his spear in a lazy stance and just stared at Buddha.
Buddha did not wait for another second and rushed to Arakan, seeing the oncoming Buddha, Arakan also steeled himself and parried the first strike.
However, with his speed and flexibility, Buddha managed to continue to push Arakan back.
"You...really are a stubborn one eh?" Buddha stated as he backed away and created some distance between them.
"Well then as your teacher it is about time I make you realize the first chapter" Buddha stated as the Indestructible Vajra Sword started to change.
Fifth Realm: Preta Realm, Holy Kannon - Salakayas (Scythe of the Wild God)
The Six Realms Staff transforms into a giant scythe with the head of a lion.
Buddha takes a high stance with Salakayas and channels dead souls into it before swinging it sideways towards Arakan with immense force.
"HAAAAAA!!" Arakan yelled as he saw the oncoming strike and raised his spear by its base.
"Sky Eater!!" Arakan yelled as he swung his spear with great force.
Arakan's spear clashed with Buddha's Salakayas the clash did not even last a second as the Salakayas easily destroyed the spear and slashed Arakan's chest.
Blood gushed from the injury as Arkan staggered. He sluggishly backed away a little.
"Take that you Humans!!"
"This is the difference between Gods and you mortalss!!!"
The Gods cheered seeing the injury.
"Bodhisattva-sama!!"
"Was it really alright to send a student face his master?"
The Monks and Buddhists worried about Bodhisattva while the non-followers doubted the decision of sending him against Buddha.
"Hah...hahha....AHAHHHAHAHAHHA!!!" Arakan bursted out in a loud laughter.
"has he gone insane?"
Some of the viewers muttered as Arakan laughed and laughed and laughed until tears ran down his face.
"To think I called myself the first disciple and forget the very first lessons!" Arakan said out loud as he stopped laughing and held his forehead lightly.
'To think...the thing I lacked was self-respect...'
'To find happiness in the darkest hour and to spread it around...that is what it is to be a human.'
'After all not everything will go perfectly it is akin to growing a sapling in the wasteland'

Arakan opened his eyes as they revealed a flower-like pattern resembling a lotus.
"So have finally woken up?" Buddha questioned as he noticed the slight golden aura around Arakan symbolizing true enlightenment.
"Yeah...I will no longer hold BACK!!" Arakan yelled as a strong golden aura emitted from him.
"What is this Pressure!!!??" Ares yelled in confusion as he was unable to move a muscle.
"I don't know!? It is like the presence of a Lord God!" Hermes claimed as he too struggled to stay upright up.

"Elder sister what just happened!?" Göll questioned as she tried to stand up after the burst of aura ended.
"I am not too sure myself...however it seems that Bodhisattva has archived true enlightenment" Brunhilde stated as she looked at the battlefield.
"Now that both of them have archived the enlightenment their future sights are now potentially useless" Brunhilde stated.
"Huh? why?" Göll questioned curiously.
"The enlightenment allows Buddha to see a moment into the future by reading the fluctuations of a creature's soul and the radiance in the light of their will to determine their actions"
"However when the soul has too strong of radiance he won't be able to determine the next move"
"The real fight has not begun" Brunhilde claimed with a small smile.
"Now come! Buddha- no Siddhartha!!" Arakan shouted with a grin on his face as he threw away his broken spear.
"Looks like you are finally through your puberty!" Buddha yelled as he charged at Bodhisattva.
"Damn Right!!" Bodhisattva yelled back as a golden glow covered his fist.
"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!"
"RAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"
Both of them yelled loudly as Buddha's Salakays and Arakan's fists clashed.
A strong shockwave traveled through the arena. The clash generated a wind current that smashed and destroyed everything in its way.
"LET'S GOOOOOO!!!" Bodhisattva yelled as his fist prevailed in the battle.
"HAAAA!!" With another yell, he landed a punch on Buddha's Sola Plexus knocking the wind out of him.
Fist of Flowing Water, Crushed Rock
Not letting go of the opportunity Bodhisatta encase his other arm with Conqueror's infusion and started to land blows after blows on Buddha who was unable to fight back.
Fist of Whirling Wind, Slashing Steel
Bodhisattva made a claw-like sign on his right fist and strike Buddha's chest and sent him flying across the stadium while destroying the stadium simultaneously.
"huff...huff...huff" Bodhisattva breathed heavily as he looked at the arena's destruction trying to spot Buddha under the rubble.
"Bodhisattva-sama!!!"
"We won!!"
"Buddha-sama!!"
The humans expressed a multitude of emotions, some grieved for the death of Buddha while some yelled in joy.
"Damn that really got me" Buddha's voice came from the rubble as he casually pulled himself out of it.
His clothes were in tatters and his body was covered in injuries.
"You are finally getting a hand of things eh?"
"Say how about we end this?" Buddha stated as he casually spun his Salakayas.
"Then show me your BEST!" Bodhisattva yelled as he took a stance.
"Damn Right I will!!" Buddha stated as he raised Salakayas and charged at Bodhisattva.
Karma-Destroying Samsara Cycle
' A strike strong enough to go against Buddha...its name shall be '
God Slaying Fist: End of Fate
The lion head of Salakayas manifests and emits tremendous physical energy, causing the scythe to be swung towards the Bodhisattva at blinding speeds.
The culmination strength of all the martial arts Bodhisattva had learned all of them focused on a single fist.
"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!"
Buddha and Bodhisattva yelled loudly as they tried to gain the upper hand.
"RRRRRRAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!"
Bodhisattva roared loudly as he used every ounce of strength in his body and countered Buddha's strike.
Not letting go Bodhisattva grabbed Buddha's arm and swung him over his head.
"DRAGON EMPEROR'S SUPREME FIST!!"
Bodhisattva yelled as his haki took a physical form of a golden dragon and clashed with Buddha.
Everyone had to shield themselves from the strong wind generated by Bodhisattva's strike.
"AND THE ROUND HAS BEEN CONCLUDED!!" The announcer yelled snapping everyone out of their confusion.
RAGNAROK'S SIXTH ROUND CONCLUDED WITH THE VICTORY OF HUMANS.
THE FINAL STRIKE: DRAGON EMPEROR'S SUPREME FIST
"huff...huff...huff"
Bodhisattva looked at the clear skies as he shed a tear.
Just as he was about to move out of the stadium his eye caught something.
A golden handle.
"Is this..." Arakan muttered as he picked up the handle of the broken Six Realms Staff.
'You didn't think I would be leaving without a gift eh?'
"Siddhartha..." Arakan muttered as he joined his consciousness with Buddha's.
'I leave the rest to you...brother' Buddha entrusted the rest of his power and soul strength to Arakan.
Buddha's remaining soul combined with Arakan's strength and the Six Reams Staff.
The broken staff handle let out a golden glow and transformed into a golden staff with carvings all around it.
Völundr: Divine Staff of Nirvana: Buddha
"You always do what you want eh?" Arakan muttered as he looked at the cheering humans.
Arakan then slammed his staff on the ground bringing everyone's attention to him.
"Through the Heavens and Earth, I alone am Honored!"
"Through the Heavens and Earth, I alone am Mighty!"
