Even though the Ape tried to dodge, he felt that no matter where he went, this punch was going to reach him. So instead of dodging, he decided that he should try to block this. As the element of ground was a very good element for defense, the Earth Ape was quite confidence in his defensive abilities.

He immediately curled his body into a ball and a yellow barrier appeared around him. As soon as the punch reached the yellow barrier, to the Ape's horror, the barrier immediately broke and the large ape was sent flying to the distance.

This commotion alerted the people of the tribe and they immediately took action. They surrounded the place completely and some of the strongest guardians entered the area in order to find out what was happening.

After stepping inside the secret realm like area where their divine beast lived, they saw an unbelievable sight. Their almighty divine beast was bloodied all over and was continuously clashing woth an unknown lady. And in their clash, the lady held a clear advantage and was hurting the ape with each of her punches.

The scale of the battle was very high so even the strongest among the guardians was unwilling to interfere with it. As their divine beast was already in a disadvantageous situation, if they foolishly interfered, it might distract him. So they could not do anything but to pray that their almighty divine beast would show his true powers and would manage to win.

...

After surviving the first punch, the ape went into his rampage mode and in this life and death situation, managed to unleash all of his suppressed battle and killing intent. His body started to burn with a deep crimson flame and all his stats got a massive boost.

Elena also controlled her power to not overwhelm the Ape but also to keep up enough pressure so that he was always on the verge of a life and death situation. In this condition, the ape managed to release even the deepest of his desire in order to stay alive.

The ape had always been a strong fighter but his current strength was greater than ever before. As a divine beast, it had very few, almost no chances to have a fight where his life was truly threatened. So now that he was getting this experience, his strength had actually started to suddenly increase which had stayed constant for who knows how many long years.

In the rampage mode, the ape would normally lose most of his sanity. But with a the insane threat that was Elena, losing his mind here would mean death. So the ape was forced to stay sane even during the rampage. This was also the reason why he was suddenly improving in such an insane rate.

But this state was not a long lasting thing and soon the ape reached his limit, his whole body froze and all the injuries that it has accumulated so far erupted at the same time. It fell down on the ground and was unable to move at all.

During the whole battle, Elena had only used one single hand of hers and the ape had noticed it too. That was something which was very humiliating for him. So even in this state when he was unable to move at all, the Ape did not want to give up.

He was not in any delusion that he would be able to defeat this mighty opponent. But he at least wanted to make this great person to use her other hand. With this thought dominating his mind, suddenly his bloodline boiled over and he managed to activate a mini evolution.

The body of the ape started to glow with a golden light and his fur turned golden. Even though his levels did not increase after this evolution but his stats did go up by a decent amount. And at the same time, he also got access to a new skills.

With the evolution, he was able to slightly move his body again. Even though this movement would only last for a single second, that was enough for the golden ape. It did not wasted any time and immediately used the skill that it had just learned.

A large rock appeared before the ape which was as large as a mountain. The whole mountain was made of off ground elemental particle of golden colour. It looked like a mountain of gold.

The ape hugged the mountain and then with it went charging toward Elena. Seeing this move, Elena smiled slightly and launched another punch.

Normally, after the punch connected, the ape was supposed to blow up and go flying again. But instead of that, it was just the large golden mountain that was blown up and behind it, the Ape was seen throwing a punch of his own toward Elena.

As Elena was the posture of punching, she was not in any position to block the upcoming punch with that same hand. So she had to use her other hand to block the punch. Seeing than, the Ape's eyes brightened and it let out a loud and joyful roar. Then he completely fainted and fell down with a satisfied look on his dumb face.

...

After the world shaking battle was over, the tribe people looked at their sleeping divine beast with a dumbfounded look on their faces. This was an outcome that they had never expected. They were also not sure about what they should do next.

Seeing the dumbfounded people, Elena gave them a kind smile and told them -

"Don't worry, your divine beast had evolved and will have no problems in controlling the battle intent in his heart anymore. He will also be able to provide a blessing to the people who pray to him and with that blessings all of you will be able to enter a state called "Rampage". This status effect have a stronger buff than the berserk, so it is a direct upgrade to the fruits that you all have been using so far."

Saying this much, Elena went to the sleeping Ape and took out the Cradle of Desire from his storage. Then she turned around toward the people of the Earth Ape tribe, showed them the item and continued -

"So this item had became completely useless to your tribe and have no value anymore. So as the victor of this battle, I hope that none of you will mind if I take this object as my prize, right ?"

While saying this, Elena also released a slightly threatening aura. Feeling that, all the guardians of the tribe present in the battlefield nodded their heads as fast as they could. Let alone the Cradle of Desire which was not much use to them anymore, even if Elena decided to loot their tribes treasury now, the guardians would not disagree. They had absolutely no intention to just throw away their lives.

Seeing the sensible tribe people, Elena again gave them a last kind smile and disappeared from her spot. Just like that, she managed to get the cradle of desire while not inflicting any losses on the Earth Ape tribe at all.
