Intro[]
Wiz: We've covered a lot of strangely powerful entities here on DEATH BATTLE! but there are few who can match and surpass the powers of gods.
Boomstick: Like Sun Wukong, the Monkey King.
Wiz: And Kratos, the God of War.
Boomstick: Alright, let's do this.
Wiz: Both Sun Wukong and Kratos have a large arsenal to match gods, so for this bout we'll be giving them only their iconic weapon(s) and abilities.
Boomstick: He's Wiz and I'm Boomstick.
Wiz: And it's our job to determine their weapons, armor and skills to find out who would win a DEATH BATTLE!
Sun Wukong[]
Wiz: Legend tells of a mighty monkey warrior spawned from a boulder, destined for greatness. This warrior looks upon the skies
Boomstick: And shot lasers from his eyes, yeah this origin story is pretty weird. So Wiz and I will summarize it.
Wiz: This Monkey befriended a group of other monkeys and demanded to be known as their handsome monkey king. Until the day fear washed over him.
Boomstick: So Wukong had a fear of death, big whoop. So he steered a raft to new land and discovered a bunch of magic and immortality, along with a new name. Sun Wukong, or Goku.
Wiz: Wukong had learned every form of martial art in the world and a new ability, the 72 Bian, or 72 Transformations.
Boomstick: So Wukong can transform his body in 72 ways? that's kinda limited.
Wiz: No, that just referred to all the stars, Wukong can transform his body any way he wants. The only limit is his own imagination.
Boomstick: That explains why he can turn into a fighting temple. He can also create hundreds of clones by tearing off his hair.
Wiz: Wukong is immune to fire, lighting, can create strong wind and with a cloud summersault, he can leap to the other end of the world.
Boomstick: But Wukong's most iconic weapon is his giant red staff. One day Wukong wandered into the Dragon King's lair and demanded a weapon worthy of him. While he didn't technically use a conventional weapon, he use a giant iron pillar that measured how deep the ocean went. In fact, it was so perfect for Wukong it became his primary and only weapon.
Wiz: This was the Ruyi Jingu Bang, a staff that can grow and shrink to however Wukong wants. Whether it be small as a needle or large enough to pierce the heavens.
Boomstick: The Dragon King wasn't the only thing he want into. He went to a unique book called the Ledger of Death, basically Death's book of who's soul to take. Since Wukong had scribbled his name out, he became immortal! Wait a minute, he's already immortal, is he double immortal? Immortal squared?
Wiz: This angered the heavens, and his new nickname being "the Great Sage Equalling Heaven" definitely didn't make them any happy. So they sent out a special person to capture the Monkey King in an attempt to take him down. But even then, Wukong proved too strong for heaven.
Boomstick: We're talking about a guy who can survive a de-immortalizing furnace and get stronger. And he got a shit ton of immortality layers.
Wiz: The Jade Emperor had made Wukong the watch dog of the Garden of Immortal Peaches. But one day Wukong got so drunk he ate most of the peaches.
Boomstick: And after drunkenly running around the jade palace, he found 5 gords of immortality pills. He swallowed every last pill. I'd put this guy in AA if I knew what was good for him.
Wiz: But Wukong had one final challenger, the Buddha. He made a contest with the monkey king. If sun could jump out of his hand, he could have the jade palace for himself.
Boomstick: So Wukong jumped to the otherside of the world. To prove he did it, he wrote a message on a golden pillar that read "Sun Wukong was here." Then he jumped back into Buddha's hand and made a shocking discovery.
Wiz: That very same message was on Buddha's finger, Wukong had already lost before the contest began.
Boomstick: So the Buddha put Wukong under the Time out mountain for 500 years and eventually lead a monk on a Journey to the West.
Wiz: And during this journey, he performed his greatest feat of strength. Lifting Mount Sumeru, a mountain that held the infinite celestial sky.
Boomstick: And this mountain was on old shoulder, because on his other one was another mountain!
Wiz: After 14 years of travel, and saving the monk's life multiple times, Wukong had finally earned his place in Heaven.
Boomstick: As the Victorious Fighting Buddha, that's one way to get promoted.
Wiz: Wukong had finally found a place in heaven, but not even he is without faults.
Boomstick: Sun Wukong is arrogant and often plays with his opponents, but he's powerful enough to get away with it every time. But he also got hurt by a scorpion demoness' poison, but that could harm the Buddha so i guess he gets away with that.
Wiz: Even with all his downfalls, Wukong is nothing short as the most powerful entity in all of heaven.
Kratos[]
Wiz: Born a demigod from Zues, Kratos was a mighty warrior and the greatest of Sparta.
Boomstick: In order to defeat a barbarian horde, Kratos offered life servitude to Aris, the god of war.
Wiz: But Aris had tricked Kratos into murdering his own family. As the hot white ash permanently stuck to his skin, he went on a quest to destroy the gods of Olympus.
Boomstick: Kratos has superhuman strength, speed, durability and is absolute built for combat. He's got a mastery of all types of weaponry and combat experience.
Wiz: Kratos' primary weapons of choice are the Blades of Chaos. They're also referred to as the Blades of Athena, the goddess of wisdom.
Boomstick: However they're pronounced, they attach to Kratos' arms with chains and are used to swing at enemies.
Wiz: Kratos also possesses a similar weapon, the Claws of Hades. They work similar to the Blades of Chaos but steal the souls of their victims. Which makes sense as Hades is the king of the underworld.
Boomstick: For close quarters combat he carries the Nemean Cestus, giant metal gauntlets originally owned by Hercules, the god of strength.
Wiz: For flight, Kratos has 2 main methods. The first are the Boots of Hermes, which makes him faster and runs up walls. He also carries the Wings of Icarus.
Boomstick: Isn't that the guy who flew too close to the sun?
Wiz: But all of these pale in comparison to Kratos' most devastating weapon, the Blade of Olympus. A blade so powerful it can kill even Zues himself.
Boomstick: The only real Downside is that it contains Kratos' immortality because Zues also told him to put it in the sword, turning Kratos Mortal.
Wiz: For Defense, he carries the Golden Fleece, a golden arm gauntlets that can deflect both ranged and mystical projectiles.
Boomstick: And that's only the greek shit. In the modern games, Kratos has an axe called Leviathan, an axe that come back to his hand and even hold back Thor's hammer.
Wiz: Kratos can also enter a Spartain's Rage, Kratos' attacks are stronger but they have to be barehanded.
Boomstick: And for more Defense, Kratos has the Guardian Shield. Which can pretty much become into a full shield at any given moment.
Wiz: Kratos has matched and surpass many different gods. He's killed the greek and norse pantheon. He's even smart enough to match the wisdom of Athena.
Boomstick: He's even speed blitz' Zues, who can run at the speed of light and eventually became the God of War after killing Aris.
Wiz: Kratos is still a mortal, he's just really hard to kill.
Boomstick: But Kratos has more issues than that, He's got tunnel vision from his anger and was responsible for the end of the world after killing all the gods in Olympus, but through it all Kratos is a worthy demigod who can match even those who stand above. If any god crosses paths with Kratos, they're going to die.
