Meng Hao, The Nine Color Paragon:

No Caption Provided

Bio:

After being kidnapped and put into slavery by his future wife, Meng Hao joined the Reliance Sect, a place where people could practice Cultivation, and gradually become more powerful as they attempted to achieve immortality. After that sect was disbanded, he traveled around the world practicing Cultivation techniques and become more powerful.

About Cultivation:

Considering Meng gets a power-up every other chapter, it's important to know the stages of Cultivation and how Meng Hao compares to other people in those stages. There are 6 stages before becoming an Immortal:

1 - Qi Condesation - This stage is divided into 13 levels. Most people only manage 9, but Meng Hao got all the 13. At the peak of the stage, he was far more powerful than any other Qi Condesation Cultivator, but still couldn't quite fight the Foundation Establishment stage

2 - Foundation Establishment - Divided into 4 types. Fractured, Cracked, Flawless and Perfect Foundations. The best most get is Flawless, while Meng Hao has a Perfect one. At the peak of this stage, he could easily beat any Foundation Establishment Cultivators and even fight some weaker Core Formation ones.

3 - Core Formation - Divided into 3 levels. At the peak of this stage, he could beat even the most powerful Nascent Soul Cultivators.

4 - Nascent Soul - In this level, you must create several different Nascent Souls with different colors. Most people get 4 at best, Meng got 9. And that's only his magic, his physical body alone, at this point, is powerful enough to easily beat some Spirit Severing Cultivators. This is the level he's at in this battle.

5 - Spirit Severing

6 - Dao Seeking

Stats and Power:

Meng's sheer raw power is quite impressive. Even with only 5 Nascent Souls, he's capable of casually disintegrating a mountain-sized boulder:

The rest of the members of his Tribe, including the Elders and the Greatfather, had been killed because of the Exotic Heartdevil Flower. As of now, he was the only peak level expert left from his Tribe. He shot forward, his eyes flickering with intense killing intent. As he neared, his totem magically appeared above his head. It was an immense star which then transformed into a gigantic boulder three thousand meters wide. Rumbling sounded out as it shot through the air toward Meng Hao.

Meng Hao hovered there, his expression tranquil. He waved his right hand, causing the Five-Colored Sky to flicker. A swooshing sound could be heard as a five-colored light expanded out and then disappeared. A moment later, the incoming boulder shook and then disintegrated.

ISSTH - Chapter 514

And that's only his weakened magic. His physical body alone is enough to overpower a mountain-sized monster that destroyed an entire island with a punch:

As Meng Hao looked over, he suddenly felt the island shake beneath him, as if some enormous creature down below were attacking it.

His face flickered for the space of a few breaths, but he was powerless to support the island. Cracks spread out on its surface, and then the island simply collapsed into countless pieces.

Huge waves rolled out across the seawater as, in the blink of an eye, the entire island sank down into the water. As for Meng Hao, he was also pulled down into the sea.

[...]

As the force neared Meng Hao, his eyes glittered. Giving up any plans to slay the jellyfish, he spun around. His right hand clenched into a fist, which then punched directly toward the incoming force.

A bang could be heard, and the seawater exploded out in all directions. It was as if two enormous, incredibly shocking fists had slammed into each other in the middle of the water.

A deep growl could be heard as an enormous figure retreated backward from the force of Meng Hao’s punch.

It was at this point that Meng Hao could clearly see the Sea Demon that was the source of the powerful force from just now.

It was a giant!

A three thousand meter tall giant, with two heads and scale-covered skin that was completely blue. Its eyes, however, were bright red as it stared at Meng Hao.

This was what had caused the island to collapse!

ISSTH - Chapters 655 & 656

Regarding speed, even at the mere Foundation Establishment Stage, Meng could easily dodge lightning left and right:

The spot between Han Bei’s eyebrows glowed with a violet light. Panting, she shot into the air after one of the pages. Meng Hao also leaped into the air, moving with as much speed as he could muster after the other page.

They flew up simultaneously and in different directions, dodging in and out of the lightning in pursuit of the jade pages. Just as each person was about to lay hands on their respective pages, the meat jelly, which had been observing them this whole time, suddenly sprang into action.

ISSTH - Chapter 164

He has become immeasurably faster since then, so he should be exactly at the speed cap of the tournament.

Xiao Yan:

No Caption Provided

Biography:

Xiao Yan is the main character from Battle Through the Heavens. He is a natural born genius and was praised at a young age for his immense power. One day he suddenly loses all his power and is quickly ridiculed by his peers for his lack of power. Xiao Yan later learns that his power was absorbed by a mysterious ghost living in his mother's heirloom ring. The mysterious ghost offers to guide and train Xiao Yan in exchange for the power he stole as a child. Xiao Yan agrees and starts his journey to become the most powerful warrior and Recaptarier (medicine maker) in the world.

Essence Flame:

First I will explain Xiao Yan's unique power, the Essence Flame. Essence Flames are the absolute rulers of all other flames. When an Essence Flame is out, all other flames will bow to its will.

Here Yao Lao, Xiao Yan's master (A Dou Venerate and much stronger than Xiao Yan) shows that the flames he created will bow down before an Essence Flame:

Xiao Yan taking the flames from other characters when he uses Essence Flames:

Xiao Yan taking the flames from 3 elders (each Dou Huang level, a Dou Huang is easily city+ level) and absorbing it to boost his own power:

Absorbs a Dou Zoug's fire attack, mixes it with his own flames and then throws it back at him:

More info on Essence Flames:

They cannot be absorbed without the proper pill. If someone attempts to absorb an Essence Flame without taking the proper pill, they will for certain die:

Strength:

Significantly stronger than the Purple Crystal Winged Lion which can make mountain sized explosions:

Defeats a lightning beast made of multiple real lightning bolts with one hit of his Sea Flipping Seal:

Creates an explosion the size of a floating island using the Mountain Splitting Seal:

With a snap of his finger he easily incinerates poison gas and makes a group of enemies explode with the Fallen Heart Essence Flame:

Overpowers the Fury Dragon Form attack using Buddha's Fury Flame Lotus. The attacks were both larger than a floating island. (Please note that Xiao Yan's opponent in this fight is a 1-star Dou Zoug. The term Dou Zoug will be referenced later in my posts. As someone's rank increases, as too does their power. A 1-star Dou Zoug can make an island sized attack):

When using Buddha's Fury Flame Lotus at an opponent in the sky, Xiao Yan accident's destroys a city with the edge of his explosion:

Smashes through a mountain when a 4-Star Dou Zoug challenges him:

Boosts himself to the level of a 7 or 8 star Dou Zoug and blasts away a 4-star Dou Zoug with little effort:

Smashes through a 4-star Dou Zoug's lightning barrier with his Eighth Level Avalanche:

Using his Essence Flame Spiritual Strength, Xiao Yan traps and contains the suicide explosion of a 4-star Dou Zoug:

Overpowers the Nine Heavenly Lightning Prison Formation which is led by 3 Dou Zougs:

Kills the 3 Dou Zoug's leading the Nine Heavenly Lightning Prison Formation with 1 attack as they attempt to run away:

Kills a 5-star Dou Zoug in one hit (Note, I won't be using the soul steal in this tournament, I just wanted to show Xiao Yan stabbing the guy):

The Fallen Heart Flame Essence Flame is super effective against spirit based beings. Xiao Yan is fighting a 9-star Dou Zoug who is much stronger then him. The Dou Zoug creates a spiritual avatar to fight Xiao Yan while he does something else (stupid villain lol). The avatar has the same level of power as the original but is made of spiritual strength. The Fallen Heart Flame can burn and destroy spirits, even if they are stronger than Xiao Yan:

Breaks a 2-Star Dou Zoug's armor ability with Mountain Splitting Form:

Defeats a 2-Star Dou Zoug with Buddha's Fury Flame Lotus, the resulting explosion is larger than several mountains:

Durability:

Takes a several strikes from the 3 Mu Lan Elders who combined are strong enough to fight a Dou Zoug (this was when Xiao Yan was weaker than his current level):

Takes a direct strike from a 2-star Dou Zoug (this is when Xiao Yan was weaker than his current level):

Takes several attacks from a 2-star Dou Zoug:

Creates a barrier around a 4-star Dou Zoug trying to use a suicide explosion to kill Xiao Yan:

Takes a strike from the Nine Heavenly Lightning Prison Formation which is formed by 23 Dou Zougs and 46 Dou Wangs (Dou Wangs are around building to City-block level) with little damage:

Blocks 10,000 lighting strikes from the Nine Heavenly Lightning Prison Formation, with Essence Flame:

Immune to hundreds and thousands of kinds of poisons:

Speed:

Xiao Yan can move as fast as a lightning bolt thanks to the 3,000 Lightning Movement ability:

He moves so fast he creates after images:

Dodges and mockingly counters cloud to ground lightning:

Dodges a lightning sneak attack without using 3,000 Lightning Movement:

Dodges cloud to cloud to ground lightning:

Stops a 4-star Dou Zoug from running away (the same level guy who came down as a bolt of lightning):

Misc:

Using Essence Flames, Xiao Yan can trap his opponent's in a prison of fire and then seal them in a bottle:

Creates a collar of Essence Flame around his opponent's neck to choke him:

Prep:

With our prep, Xiao will bring a large number of his pills to aid us in battle

Meredian Raise Pill - strengthens the toughness of Meredian and repairs damaged veins:

Modified Meredian Raise Pill - Using a fire core instead of a wind core, Xiao Yan makes a Meredian Raise Pill that also increases Fire Dou-Qi (energy):

Flying Pill - gives the user the ability to fly:

Dou Qi and Stamina Recovery Pill - instants restores the user's Dou-Qi and Stamina:

Blood Coagulating Pills - heals injuries:

With 30 minutes of prep time:

  • Xiao Yan makes a Modified Meredian Raise Pill to boost fire attacks.
  • Takes out his stash of Dou-Qi and Stamina Pills to share with Meng
  • Gives extra Meredian Raise Pills to Meng to heal any vein damage he may suffer during the battle
  • Creates Blood Coagulating Pills that heal injuries and shares with Meng
  • Xiao Yan uses Heavenly Fire Three Mysterious Change, Glazed Change - temporarily significantly increases the user's power and Elder Yun's power boost to become a 7 or 8 star Dou Zoug.

During that time, they'll also discuss their abilities, knowledge of pills, strategies, counter strategies, stuff like that. Creating the pills shouldn't take long, so this all could be done just fine.

Location:

The place we'll choose for this battle to take place at is in one of the ten outposts of the Violet Sea. Basically, small cities built around mountaintops in the middle of a gigantic ocean:

Meng Hao watched everything with confusion. More and more Cultivators arrived. They were careful not to touch the seawater. By using their divine abilities and magical techniques, they were able to find some of the mountain-islands that had not been completely submerged. They began to construct cities around the peaks, above the seawater.

They called them cities, but they were really more like outposts.

Soon, a total of ten such outposts were constructed above the Western Desert Violet Sea.

ISSTH - Chapter 520

Strategy:

The strategy should be pretty simple: just attacks your guys until they die. I know very little about Gideon, but I know for a fact that Korra is way out of her league here. Really, I don't see what's stopping Meng from instantly teleporting behind her and blowing her to pieces with an island level punch:

As they neared him, killing intent flickered in his eyes. All of a sudden, he teleported. When he vanished, the faces of everyone who was watching instantly filled with shock. This was especially true of the ten Nascent Soul Cultivators, as they realized that what Meng Hao had just done was not the Bloodburst Flash but rather… true minor teleportation.

“Not good!” said the Supreme Priest, his face flickering. He looked over at the nine Elders to see Meng Hao suddenly appearing directly behind one of them. His right hand lifted up and then smashed out with the power to destroy a Nascent Soul Cultivator.

That Nascent Soul Cultivator’s face fell. His body immediately began to grow blurry as he attempted to flee via minor teleportation. At the same time, he spit out a colorful beam of light which transformed into talisman paper that shot toward Meng Hao. However, at the same time, Meng Hao’s fist, filled with exterminating power, landed.

A boom filled the air along with a miserable cry. The talisman paper collapsed, giving the Nascent Soul Cultivator just enough time to finish his teleportation. As he disappeared, Meng Hao let out a cold snort. He moved forward and then performed his own teleportation. The two figures grew blurry, and in the blink of an eye Meng Hao had caught up. Once again, his fist descended.

Another boom could be heard. The Nascent Soul Cultivator spit out a mouthful of Nascent Soul aura. Within were eight magical items, all of which began to explode. Even his body exploded, as he used self-detonation to attempt to kill Meng Hao. A flying sword swept up his Nascent Soul, which borrowed the momentum of the self-detonation to flee away at top speed, clearly weakened.

ISSTH - Chapter 449

By herself, Korra is, like, building level. Even with feats from all the Avatars, she's hopelessly outmatched, which means Gideon will have to carry your team and basically solo Meng and Xiao by himself. Which would be pretty damn hard.

Another advantage we have is the location. Meng Hao can control the Violet Sea at will, so, if he feels like it, he can destroy the whole outpost and your team will have to fight against the Sea itself while facing our characters:

“Patriarch Huyan….” he murmured. “Heavenly Pursuit Tribe.” The killing aura in his eyes changed, becoming ruthlessly dense. He looked down at the tenth outpost and pointed his finger.

Instantly, the Violet Sea roared as the whirlpool that surrounded the tenth outpost suddenly rose up into the air.

A massive pillar of seawater, three thousand meters in area, completely enveloped the outpost. Roaring filled the air. It was like the eruption of a geyser. The outpost’s spell formation was utterly incapable of standing up to such power. It immediately exploded.

At the same time, the vast collection of airships began to shatter into pieces. The crowds of Cultivators in the outpost were screaming miserably. They couldn’t even control their own bodies as they were swept into the seawater. As soon as they touched it, the death will in the seawater collided with their life forces, causing the power of extermination to erupt.

In the blink of an eye, before any of the Cultivators could even use a divine ability, their bodies burst. The could not fight back, or block, or evade!

All of their power had been focused in defending against attacks from above. All their plans had been based on the reports regarding Meng Hao’s Cultivation base and the fearsomeness of the mastiff. They hadn’t prepared for… an explosive attack by the Violet Sea!

How could they ever have imagined that someone could actually control… the Western Desert’s Apocalyptic Violet Sea!?

ISSTH - Chapter 540

Mind you, that's not regular water. It contains an extermination ability that annihilates any life that comes in contact with it. Just briefly touching it can instantly kill most people. Of course, Meng Hao is immune to it and can make Xiao immune as well, so that's not a problem for us.

Gideon Jura

No Caption Provided

Powers and Abilities:

  • Superhuman Strength
  • Superhuman Endurance
  • Superhuman Speed
  • Superhuman Stamina
  • Master Martial Artist
  • Master of Hieromancy
  • Invulnerability Shields(Heiromancy)
  • Weapon Empowerment (Heiromancy)
  • Magical Ranged Attacks (Heiromancy)

Bio:

Gideon Jura is the stalwart warrior-mage of the Gatewatch and one of the groups four founding members. He was originally born on the plane of Theros where the sky is filled with countless deities. Gideon earned the favor of Heliod, the god of the Sun, who gave Gideon a godly weapon and named him his champion. Arrogantly Gideon attempted to use the spear to strike down Erebos, the god of the Dead, but instead all of his friends were killed by Erebos. Devastated by the repercussions of his own arrogance Gideon's planeswalker spark ignited and he became a planeswalker, a traveler between the infinite planes of existence. Now he attempts to use his power to protect innocence, fight for justice, and lead armies fighting for good.

Currently Gideon is on Ravnica with the rest of the Gatewatch scheming to kill Nicol Bolas, the most evil planeswalker to ever exist.

Strength and Speed

Lets cover his stats before we move onto his magic. His physical strength is easily nearing the top of what is allowed in the tournament. He is capable of competing in strength with casual mountain busters.

This is best demonstrated when Gideon Jura was able to singlehandedly stop Ulamog from advancing. Gideon was loosing the match in strength because he is described as being pushed backwards, but he was only pushed back 2 or 3 feet because when Ulamog is suddenly bound Gideon stumbles forward and nearly falls off the front of the rock.

The only thing Gideon could see was jagged, white bone: Ulamog's thick faceplate. The titan was too close; the trap should have stopped him by now, he should have been contained. But something had gone wrong.

Gideon had been preparing himself for this moment since the first time he had heard Jace explain the plan. He had believed it would work, he had trusted the mind mage—and he still did—but he had always known that there was a possibility that something would go wrong. Jace had known it too. That's why Gideon had stationed himself here on this rock. He was the last line of defense. He stood between Sea Gate and Ulamog, and he would hold his position for as long as it took them to set the trap.

And if they couldn't set it, if it came to it, then Gideon would call for an evacuation. And he would hold the titan back until his army could get to safety. But it wasn't time for that yet. He could hold out a little longer. They just needed a little longer...

One of Ulamog's tentacles soared through the air, aimed right at Gideon. Whorls of invulnerability erupted over his skin in anticipation of the collision.

Gideon absorbed the blow, gritting his teeth under the weight of it. A second tentacle hurtled his way from the other side. He shifted the focus of his protection.

How much longer should he wait? He slashed back Ulamog's reaching fingers. Just a little longer...

The titan leaned forward, bearing down toward Gideon. Gideon dug his feet into the rock and stared straight into where he imagined the titan's eyes would be. "You're not getting past me." He turned his shoulder to meet Ulamog's chest, focusing all of his power into that single point, the point of impact. He grounded himself, clenching every muscle in his body, pushing back.

It was as though the weight of an entire world was being driven against him.

He felt his feet begin to slip. Was it time? He opened his mouth to give the order, but then closed it. He could hold out just a little longer. They needed just a little longer...

Gideon squeezed his eyes shut, exhaling a roaring cry with the effort.

He was losing ground.

Then suddenly a blue flash lit up the inside of his eyelids, and the pressure on his shoulder vanished.

Gideon stumbled forward with the momentum stored up from the force he had been exerting on the titan. He caught himself just before he tumbled off the front of the floating rock...which meant there was nothing else in front of him to stop his fall. He was no longer standing face-to-face with the titan.

Ulamog had been pulled within the bounds of the hedron prison—and the prison was glowing, glowing a brilliant blue. The gleam flooded Sea Gate, drowning out the shadow of the great Eldrazi.

-Magic the Gathering: Hedron Alignment

Who is this Ulamog guy? He is an Eldrazi titan, a creature born before time even existed. And he is easily larger than a mountain, as shown here. Ulamog is on the left, his brother Kozilek is on the right.

No Caption Provided

Not only is Ulamog larger than a mountain, but he has also been shown in the following passage casually reducing a mountain to "fine scree and rubble"

The ground began to shake more violently. The roar behind suddenly swelled to a deafening bellow and Anowon and Nissa leaped back against the rock next to the cave mouth.

And just in time. Moments later enormous tentacles snaked out of the cave mouth, followed by jagged, bony arms. The very mountain began to come down around the tentacles. What could only have been an Eldrazi titan glided out of the hole, its tentacles slathered in mucus.

Nissa began to run. The others followed. Whatever was coming out of the cave mouth was huge. The ground was fracturing under it. Nissa glanced back as she ran—the red tooth, the spire at the top of the mountain, cracked and tumbled down over the creature’s bony neck. Nissa and Anowan ran as hard as they could until the ground was not shaking as much. Nissa stopped and turned.

As Nissa watched, the creature nuzzled its bulbous bone face into fine scree and rubble which was all that was left of the mountain. In appearance the beast looked much as a brood lineage, but larger by far. As tall as a turntimber tree. And the smell! The smell made her want to die. Rotting meat and mushrooms and sulfur from the very bowels of the rock.

But there were differences, aside from its immensity. The small plants eking out an existence in the scree withered to black smudges on the stones as the titan neared. A stone pig fled its burrow in terror, but fell to sludge as it passed near the titan’s tentacles. Nissa felt the terrible power as well. She felt the force within her body pulling toward the tentacled menace, as iron to a magnet. It was hard for her to work her lungs at pulling air.

-Magic the Gathering: In the Teeth of Akoum

I think that feat more than proves that Gideon is a serious contender in the physical strength department and will be able to challenge Meng Hao.

Gideon is also very fast. Jace Beleren is a mage who is easily capable of competing with characters who move at blur level speeds, yet when Gideon moves Jace can't even perceive him.

Both Kiora and Gideon moved so fast that Jace didn't realize what was happening until he was on the floor, pushed by Gideon's thick arm, and Gideon was deflecting the strike of Kiora's bident meant for Jace.

-Magic the Gathering Story: Hedron Alignment

Weapon, Skill, and Weapon Empowerment

Gideon Jura's iconic weapon of choice is the sural. Its basically four razor sharp whips that extend from the back of his gauntlet.

No Caption Provided

Sural wielders are known for being either incredibly skilled or incredibly short lived. Gideon was a natural talent in combat ever since he was young, but he has since received training in the army of Akros, similar to a real world Spartan or Athens type army, and has been trained for years after that as a knight.

With all of this training combined Gideon is a master of most midevil type weapons such as swords, greatswords, shields, and spears, but he is also a master of unarmed combat and uses a wrestling style based around breaking the opponents joints through locks and grapples.

One of Gideon's greatest abilities in combat is the ability to read the opponents body language and predict there next move.

Half a dozen escape attempts later, Kytheon took to his training. It complimented his natural talent for reading others in combat, intuiting their position and body language to understand what they would do next. Hieromancy gave Kytheon a tool to disrupt opponents and press his advantage.

-Magic the Gathering: Gideon's Origin: Kytheon Iora of Akros

With all these skills and the unpredictable sural Gideon would be a dangerous opponent to begin with but he also wields weapon empowerment magic, making his sural able to cut through almost anything like butter.

Magic

Gideon Jura is a master of Hieromancy aka law magic. I'll go over his lesser spells first.

He can create magical chains to bind opponents like so...

No Caption Provided

And can make people explode from the inside out like so...

No Caption Provided

But these are just lesser spells. He has one goto magic that he is famous for. Invulnerability...

Gideon can cover his skin in a layer of invulnerable magic to shield himself from harm. He normally covers just the part of his skin that is about to be struck, which he does to conserve his energy, but he is very capable of covering his entire body. It isn't just limited to covering his body, he can form it into other shapes. Once he formed it into a wedge and used it as a melee weapon, and another time he created a bubble shield.

He has withstood attacks from literal gods and even worse than that. Here is an example where Gideon is uneffected by standing in the middle of an explosion that destroys a massive army of Eldrazi, and several of these Eldrazi were direct linage to Ulamog himself.

Here is a vampire observing a single direct lineage Eldrazi.

  • It is powerful enough to destroy a continent by itself (gradually not all at once)
  • An army of vampires attacking it is a futile effort.
  • It towers over the hilly landscape.

Drana rose higher to view the large Eldrazi host behind them. She wanted to say there were thousands of them, but she did not like lying to herself. There were many more than thousands of them, a number so much greater that it was not useful to label it. There in the midst of the host was the enormous Eldrazi sire, towering over the neighboring hills, the clear lord of its domain. The sire was not as large or formidable as Ulamog itself, but it was still massive and powerful enough to lay waste to the continent of Guul Draz. Its multiple limbs waved a constant orbit in the high sky. The vampires had lost many to its rending arms in aerial assaults before the futility of such attacks became clear.

No Caption Provided

- Magic the Gathering: Memories of Blood

Here is a description of the eldrazi group that will be blown up.

Gideon had been most concerned about the consequences of attracting Eldrazi, considering their own small numbers. He had suggested several tiny groups but Noyan dismissed each one. They needed a group large enough to provide a suitable stage for performance. On an already-desiccated plain, they found an isolated group with several hundred of the creatures, scions and drones, and a few larger creatures that Noyan labeled as "direct lineage" to Ulamog itself.

-Magic the Gathering: Shaping an Army

And here is the spell unleashed with Gideon in the middle of it. It disintegrates the ground for hundreds of feet in every direction away from Noyan, and instantly kills all the eldrazi, even the direct lineage. Gideon isn't even perturbed by it.

"Now mage!" Gideon snarled.

Strive, shake, heave, destroy.

"You are invulnerable, right?" Noyan shouted. Gideon nodded.

Strive, shake, heave, destroy.

No Caption Provided

Noyan cast his spell. All the earth between Noyan and the circle of initiates disintegrated underneath in a circling vortex of wind, magma, and rock. Where once were hundreds of feet of solid ground, there now was . . . nothing. The Eldrazi and Gideon plummeted through a storm of falling debris, and Noyan could see the sparking golden light of Gideon's shield shimmer constantly as Gideon fell.

No Caption Provided

What had been the din of chaotic battle was now replaced by stunning silence. Noyan stood, alone, on a patch of earth barely two feet square. Hundreds of feet in every direction was now chasm, a great void separating himself from his initiates, who looked on in disbelief at what they had wrought. The initiates looked at the chasm, and at each other, and began cheering. As the debris settled far below, they could make out the corpses of the Eldrazi plus a lone figure surrounded by golden glowing sparks as rocks and fire made their final falls.

Noyan smiled. It was a fantastic moment. The only thing he regretted was Gideon had not screamed once his entire way down. What did it take to perturb that man?

-Magic the Gathering: Shaping an Army

Gideon has withstood far worse than this but I think this is a good starting point.

Now this isn't a passive ability, its an active one. Gideon can summon it in an instant but there is the possibility for characters to get around it. Which is why i have deadpools healing factor. Even if you land a few strikes on Gideons soft organic body he will heal. And if it becomes a problem that he keeps taking damage, then Gideon will stop being as conservative with his Invulnerbility and start covering larger amounts of his body, making it much harder to damage him.

Gideon's Role

Gideon's role in this battle is as the tank of the team. His entire point is to just be really hard to be put down. With Korra manipulating the battle field and flinging things at a range, Gideon will direct attention to himself and will take the damage. I find it very unlikely that Gideon will be put down by your team. They will need to go for a decapitation because of the healing factor and by the time they figure out that they need to go for the head Gideon will have figured out that they are capable of damaging him and will protect his head religiously. He will fulfill his role as a tank very well.

Introduction

Korra is the current incarnation of the Avatar and immediate successor of Avatar Aang. Born and raised in the Southern Water Tribe, where she mastered waterbending, earthbending, and firebending, she later relocated to Republic City to attain a similar proficiency with airbendingunder the tutelage and guidance of Tenzin as well as overcome her aversion to the spiritual aspects of the bending arts. With the assistance of Aang's spirit, Korra gained the ability to energybend, and after connecting with her past lives, she gained the capacity to enter the Avatar State at will, marking her transition into a fully realized Avatar. However, due to her temporary separation from Raava during the Harmonic Convergence of 171 AG, she no longer has a connection to her past lives. After defeating Kuvira and bringing an end to the Earth Empire, Korra started a romantic relationship with Asami Sato.

- Avatar Wikia

I'll skip the details on Korra, but if you want more general information here is her CV page and Wikia page.

For this tournament, I am using Avatar Korra but with composite Avatar bending. This means I can use bending feats from all previous Avatars, i.e. Aang, Roku, Kyoshi, Kuruk, Yangchen, and Wan.

Sorry in advance for all the GIF links.

Physicals

Korra may not seem that physically strong, fast, or durable, but don't underestimate her. Throughout the series, she is in her late teens to early twenties and still easily outclasses fully grown men, without the use of bending.

Although her physicals are at the lower-end of superhuman, she has quite a few impressive feats.

Strength/Skill:

She can casually lift Tenzin, Jinora, and Ikki in a hug

With one-hand, she can casually lift a grown man tied to a chair

She can toss a grown man several feet across the street and through a store window

Easily outmaneuvers the Lieutenant, a highly-trained H2H fighter and chi blocker

Grabs and tosses Kuvira several feet away

Kicks a cop several feet away

Trips up an attacking firebender

Fights off two waterbenders with some rope

Durability:

Tanks an airbending blast into a stone pillar

While weakened and out of shape, she tanks a large stone block

Endures a metalbending assault from Kuvira

Tanks Vaatu's beam, which was strong enough to shatter stone

Korra also has pretty high endurance and stamina, being able to take hits and continue fighting for prolonged periods of time.

Speed/Agility/Acrobatics:

Dodges an assault from 3 pro-benders

Dodges the attacks of an extremely fast dark spirit (one that was giving the rest of Team Avatar a hard time)

Dodges a mecha-tank's hook

Dodges a flurry of ice projectiles

Dodges Unalaq's attacks

Jumps off a ramp and over a mecha-tank. Mecha-tanks are roughly 12 feet tall.

Enhances her speed with airbending to blitz Kuvira

And last but not least, Korra's greatest reaction feat...reacting to an explosion and shielding from it with airbending

Bending

Now for the fun part...

With access to the bending of all the Avatars in the series, I have a lot of feats to draw from. However, for my opener, I will keep it short and showcase just a few impressive feats from all the bending styles. Some of these are with the Avatar State, but that won't matter as I will explain in the strategy section.

Airbending:

Knocks back a massive, metal giant with a huge air blast
Knocks back a massive, metal giant with a huge air blast

Traps Unalaq with an air vortex and launches him hundreds of feet away

Air blade easily slices through ice and stone

Air wave with a massive AoE knocks away a bunch of dark spirits

Blasts Zuko down a hallway and straight out the building

Airbending can also be used for flight, either with an air glider, as an air spout, or while in a protective sphere.

Airbending can also be used defensively, to protect from blasts of fire, and explosions, and projectiles

Last but not least, airbending provides an enhanced sensitivity to vibrations and shifts in air currents. This provides airbenders with a type of danger sense, forewarning them of incoming attacks. Although a shaved head is custom to airbenders, it is not necessary in order to have this danger sense; most airbenders shave their heads in order to have a deeper connection to the wind. Here are two examples of this danger sense.

Firebending

Earthbending

Korra uses earthbending to launch an attacking bender and thugs on motorcycles

Various earthbending moves, ending in a shockwave

Korra can throw pretty, large, boulders

Earthbending can also be used from below opponents, to trap them in the earth
Earthbending can also be used from below opponents, to trap them in the earth

And it can be used to create a huge earth golem...

No Caption Provided

Korra also has access to seismic sense, a sub-skill of earthbending that allows the user to instantly locate opponents and objects on the ground through their vibrations. It is frequently used to anticipate the movements of opponents and counter their attacks.

Aang, even while blinded, was able to use seismic sense to dodge earth pillars and boulders.

Lastly, earthbending can be used to launch the user off the ground and into the air, or to tunnel into the earth.

For metalbending, I will provide feats in the following section.

Waterbending

Notable Fights & Feats

In this section, I will link some of the most notable fights and feats of the various Avatars.

Let's start with the first Avatar, Wan, and his fight against the dark spirit Vaatu.

And then we have Avatar Kyoshi, who used her bending to divide and separate an entire island (starts at 2:38). This feat is insane. She used earthbending and lavabending to separate the island, and then used airbending to push the island away into the ocean.

Aang, with just airbending and without the Avatar State, was able to keep up against Bumi, the most powerful earthbender of the entire series.

Aang vs. Ozai. Aang was on the defensive, but as soon as he entered the Avatar State, he gained the upper hand and beat Ozai, the Fire Lord and big bad of the series.

Korra's Role

We have morals off as a perk. This means that Korra will be fighting to kill, which also means she will immediately enter the Avatar State the second the battle begins because that is when she is most powerful and dangerous. Korra, with all the knowledge and bending feats of all the previous Avatars, will be going for the kill.

Gideon will serve as the tank and CQC fighter of our team, taking the brunt of your focus and getting right up in your faces. With him charging at you while Korra enters the Avatar State, you will have no valid reason to immediately target Korra. As soon as she enters the AS, your team will be bombarded with air, fire, earth, and water attacks, coming at you from Korra and from the environment itself. Korra will also be able to utilize metalbending, allowing her to manipulate any metal that your team is wearing or using, which includes your adamantium weapons.

Korra has the mobility, reaction time, and defensive capabilities to avoid getting tagged. She has the power, skill, precision, and AoE to overwhelm your team. If you manage to get in close, she has so many options to escape and gain some distance. With the airbending danger sense and earthbending seismic sense, she will also be able to anticipate your attacks and counter as needed. If she can't physically kill you, she can incap you with earthbending or freeze you with waterbending.

Initial Counters

First I will explain Xiao Yan's unique power, the Essence Flame. Essence Flames are the absolute rulers of all other flames. When an Essence Flame is out, all other flames will bow to its will.

This could be troublesome since Korra/Avatars use firebending, but the moment you take Korra's fire in, she will stop using firebending. She has 3 other elements and their sub-skills to utilize, so firebending won't even be needed. As for using fire against Korra, I have already shown that she can block or disperse it.

With our prep, Xiao will bring a large number of his pills to aid us in battle

Can you provide more context for these pills? Are they a part of your standard gear? How are the pills made? You have 30 minutes of prep on the battlefield, so I don't see how you could acquire these pills unless you can create them yourself with magic...

The strategy should be pretty simple: just attacks your guys until they die. I know very little about Gideon, but I know for a fact that Korra is way out of her league here. Really, I don't see what's stopping Meng from instantly teleporting behind her and blowing her to pieces with an island level punch:

You do not have basic knowledge. You would have no reason to immediately target Korra, especially since Gideon will immediately charge at your team and be the focus of your characters.

Another advantage we have is the location. Meng Hao can control the Violet Sea at will, so, if he feels like it, he can destroy the whole outpost and your team will have to fight against the Sea itself while facing our characters:

Except Korra and the Avatars can easily bend the water and avoid having it wash over them. As I showed in my feats, Korra can even walk underwater without even getting touched by the water.

Mind you, that's not regular water. It contains an extermination ability that annihilates any life that comes in contact with it. Just briefly touching it can instantly kill most people. Of course, Meng Hao is immune to it and can make Xiao immune as well, so that's not a problem for us.

Define "most people". And can you prove that Meng is immune to it and that Xiao can be made immune to it as well?

Also, I'm going to ask if you can provide a picture or video of the battlefield you have chosen. It hardly seems fair to only be given a general, vague description of the area without even being able to see what it looks like. @gearsecond659

Counters:

You do not have basic knowledge. You would have no reason to immediately target Korra, especially since Gideon will immediately charge at your team and be the focus of your characters.

So, your plan is to have Gideon charge at us while Korra stays in the back, hoping that we don't attack her because Gideon will be the one at the front.

No Caption Provided

Staying behind launching long ranged attacks will just show us that she's not confident in a close quarters battle, and our characters will certainly figure that out. Meng has the ability to close the gap immediately via teleportation, so, like we said before, he can just instantly kill her with a single punch while Xiao takes Gideon on. Korra's durability is way too low.

And, no offense or anything, but both of our characters could literally just stand there doing nothing for days while Korra attacks them, and they wouldn't have a single scratch on them by the end. Her raw power is . . . lacking, to say the least. Really, just look at the videos you posted, she fights like a street-level character, with some building level feats in-between. Even the best combat showings with Aang and Roku don't compare to what our characters can do (Roku got killed by a volcano eruption, Meng or Xiao would just blow the whole thing to hell).

The only feat that really compares is Kyoshi moving an island, and I don't even think that's applicable to combat, we haven't seen any Avatar actually use that amount of power in a fight, even with Avatar State. Wan, Yangchen, Roku, Aang, and Korra can't go around throwing islands or mountains at people, not even close. Even if it's applicable to combat, it's still moving an island vs destroying an island, and we all know which is better.

Even without teleportation, Xiao Yan can just make Korra explode from behind Gideon using Essence Flame. The flames spread too far for Gideon to protect her and her stats are too weak to survive:

Except Korra and the Avatars can easily bend the water and avoid having it wash over them. As I showed in my feats, Korra can even walk underwater without even getting touched by the water.

Nope, not happening. This isn't regular water we're talking about, it's the Violet Sea, created by the Violet Rain from the Western Desert Apocalypse.

There was a legend in the great lands of the Western Desert, the source of which was impossible to determine. In any case, over the years, this legend came to exist in the minds of all Tribes in the Western Desert. It was even recorded in the ancient records of the Tribes and passed down from generation to generation.

But then, even more time passed. Eventually, people began to forget about the legend. It wasn’t that there was no knowledge about it at all, just, most people didn’t remember….

According to the legend, at a time many, many years in the past, the Western Desert was not a continent, but rather, a sea. The sea existed for thirty thousand years before vanishing to reveal the continent beneath. During that time, the Western Desert… was not called the Western Desert, but rather a different name. The Western Sea.

This sea was not the same color as the Milky Way Sea. Rather, it was violet, and its waters had the power to cause all life to become extinct. It even cut off spiritual energy, making the area a prohibited zone for living things.

There was an area of division between the Milky Way Sea and this Sea, as if they intentionally did not want to mix.

According to the legend, the Western Sea was not completely without any land mass. There was one area with land, a part that was connected to the Southern Domain. That was none other than... the Black Lands.

In terms of elevation, the Black Lands were relatively high. Such high elevation was something that Cultivators wouldn’t pay too much attention to. However, the Black Lands were actually the highest place in the entire continent, including the Western Desert and the Southern Domain. It was so high that even after the Western Desert became a sea… it still existed.

The legend said that long before the Western Desert, and even before the Western Sea, the entire land was filled with abundant resources and dense spiritual energy. However, it eventually experienced a fall of violet rain that lasted many years. The rainwater did not soak into the earth, but rather began to collect on its surface.

Gradually the waters turned into streams, which then formed lakes, and eventually turned into a sea.

The violet rain had the power to destroy the life force of any living thing it touched, and could even cut off spiritual energy. All spell formations ceased to function, and it became difficult for Cultivators to survive there. Everything was plunged into destruction.

Countless varieties of vegetation died, and an innumerable amount of animals became nothing more than skeletons. Multitudinous life forms… reached the end of their path. This was a catastrophe that affected the lives of all Tribes in the Western Desert, an Apocalypse of Heaven and Earth!

ISSTH - Chapter 451

It drains energy and destroys life on contact. Avatar bending is based on their Chi and Chakras, not that different from the Cultivators from Meng Hao's world, and they acknowledge that controlling the Violet Sea should be impossible:

All of their power had been focused in defending against attacks from above. All their plans had been based on the reports regarding Meng Hao’s Cultivation base and the fearsomeness of the mastiff. They hadn’t prepared for… an explosive attack by the Violet Sea!

How could they ever have imagined that someone could actually control… the Western Desert’s Apocalyptic Violet Sea!?

ISSTH - Chapter 540

The reason Meng can control it is that he fused with the sea. Although he didn't become the sea itself, they're deeply connected. Considering that Cultivators more powerful than Avatars are extremely common and that the particular Cultivators in the Western Desert control elemental totems, like water ones, there's absolutely no way that Korra can control the sea.

Even if she could, she'd have to overpower Meng's control over it. In our first post, I showed how Meng could annihilate a small city with ease by controlling the sea, and that's way out of Korra's league.

Define "most people". And can you prove that Meng is immune to it and that Xiao can be made immune to it as well?

"Most people" should be anyone under Spirit Severing, and that's a lot of powerful people.

Meng can survive at the bottom of the seafloor without a problem:

The face was none other than Meng Hao’s!

Meng Hao might have been submerged on the bottom of the seafloor, but his will was engaged in fierce battle with the Black Bat corpse.

ISSTH - Chapter 534

He shows how he can make people unaffected when he saves the Golden Crow Tribe members and carries them along with the Violet Sea without causing them any harm:

“I’ve returned to take you with me… to collect a blood debt!” He turned and flew back up into the air. The Violet Sea roared as it swept up the Tribe members. Together, they moved onward

ISSTH - Chapter 539

On Pills:

I'll go ahead and address their questions about pills in more detail.

Receptariers can make a variety of elixirs and pills:

Here, Xiao Yan's master explains the process of creating elixirs and pills. By controlling a flame and sensing the spirit within the ingredients, a receptarier combines them to create their elixirs:

Creating pills of the level we are using here isn't difficult for Xiao Yan. I already posted the entire span of time it took for Xiao Yan to create the Meredian Raise Pill:

Meredian Raise Pill - strengthens the toughness of Meredian and repairs damaged veins:

The entire process took maybe a minute. Dou-Qi and stamina recovery pills are lower level pills which would take even less time to make. Plus Xiao Yan keeps those in his stash so its part of his standard gear:

Creating more pills just requires the proper ingredients which Xiao Yan keeps in his ring:

So with the amount of prep time we have here, Xiao Yan will have no trouble making plenty of pills.

On Gideon:

While he's certainly more of a challenge than Korra, he's still outmatched here. Let's take a look at his feats.

Gideon is also very fast. Jace Beleren is a mage who is easily capable of competing with characters who move at blur level speeds, yet when Gideon moves Jace can't even perceive him.

That's . . . not very good. Moving like a blur, and even faster than what the eye can see is not that fast. You can move your hand in front of your face so fast that it blurs and creates afterimages. Turn on any fan you have in your house at the max speed, and the blades will likely move faster than what you can see.

Sure, a human-sized body would have to move faster than that to create the same effects, but you can see clearly that the speed isn't that amazing.

Lightning moves hundreds of times faster than sound, and that's the limit on the speed here. Both of our characters have feats of dodging and reacting to lightning, so Gideon will have a hard time keeping up.

His physical strength is easily nearing the top of what is allowed in the tournament. He is capable of competing in strength with casual mountain busters.

While that's certainly impressive, it's not quite enough. From the quote you showed, Gideon had a hard time overpowering the Titan:

Gideon absorbed the blow, gritting his teeth under the weight of it. A second tentacle hurtled his way from the other side. He shifted the focus of his protection.

How much longer should he wait? He slashed back Ulamog's reaching fingers. Just a little longer...

The titan leaned forward, bearing down toward Gideon. Gideon dug his feet into the rock and stared straight into where he imagined the titan's eyes would be. "You're not getting past me." He turned his shoulder to meet Ulamog's chest, focusing all of his power into that single point, the point of impact. He grounded himself, clenching every muscle in his body, pushing back.

It was as though the weight of an entire world was being driven against him.

-Magic the Gathering: Hedron Alignment

He's clearly having a hard time trying to overpower a being that could destroy a mountain.

In our first post, I showed how Meng Hao could destroy a mountain-sized boulder. Here:

The rest of the members of his Tribe, including the Elders and the Greatfather, had been killed because of the Exotic Heartdevil Flower. As of now, he was the only peak level expert left from his Tribe. He shot forward, his eyes flickering with intense killing intent. As he neared, his totem magically appeared above his head. It was an immense star which then transformed into a gigantic boulder three thousand meters wide. Rumbling sounded out as it shot through the air toward Meng Hao.

Meng Hao hovered there, his expression tranquil. He waved his right hand, causing the Five-Colored Sky to flicker. A swooshing sound could be heard as a five-colored light expanded out and then disappeared. A moment later, the incoming boulder shook and then disintegrated.

ISSTH - Chapter 514

But that was when he had mere 5 Nascent Souls and a Nascent Soul body. By the Peak of the Nascent Soul Stage, he had 9 Nascent Souls and a Spirit Severing body. He was so powerful that he could casually fodderize a Spirit Severing Cultivator:

Patriarch Huyan’s scalp numbed, and he was scared witless. He retreated rapidly, waving his arm to cause the whip to flail about in all directions. However, it was at this point that a reflection appeared in his pupils as Meng Hao appeared directly in front of him.

Meng Hao’s left hand lifted up, forming a claw that snatched ahold of the whip. The whip let out a whimpering sound, but could not extricate itself.

“You… are too weak,” said Meng Hao, his voice cool. He lifted his right hand up and tapped down lightly on Patriarch Huyan’s forehead.

Patriarch Huyan’s body trembled as he was suddenly lifted up into the air and soared in the direction of the forbidden zone. Before he even began to fall to the ground, his head directly exploded. Blood and gore formed a haze that spread to his chest, and then his limbs, and finally his entire torso.

All of that was accomplished by a mere tap from Meng Hao in his Eighth Anima. Patriarch Huyan was ripped into shreds before he could even scream, and his fleshly body was completely destroyed.

ISSTH - Chapter 606

Said Spirit Severing Cultivator was capable of shrugging off Meng's attacks even when he had 6 Nascent Souls, meaning that Meng can easily kill even mountain level people, which Gideon is . . .

And can make people explode from the inside out like so...

This kind of magic is very easily accomplished by any powerful Cultivator. Meng can replicate it easily, and is immune to it, unless his opponent is massively more powerful than him.

The Liu Clan Patriarch hovered in mid-air, staring superciliously out of the corner of his eyes. To him, all of these people were clearly insects.

However, it was at this moment, a calm voice suddenly echoed out from within the Zhang Clan’s ship.

“Pipe down!”

It was only two words, but as the sound expanded out, it instantly suppressed all other sounds. It was louder than thunder, and gave rise to three echoes. It was also filled with intense pressure that weighed down on everything.

At the same time, within his cabin, Meng Hao’s eyes opened. His gaze seemed to pass through the ship, making everything outside visible.

[...]

The instant his voice rang out, it gave rise to the first echo. Ripples appeared that headed toward the Liu Clan Qi Condensation disciples who were about to attack the youngsters. They began to tremble, then blood sprayed from their mouths as they were sent tumbling backward. Then, their bodies simply exploded in mid air, countless pieces flying about in all directions. At the same time, all the other Liu Clan Qi Condensation disciples suffered the same fate. They first watched on with blank expressions, then were shattered into chunks of blood and gore.

When the second echo rang out, the Liu Clan’s three Foundation Establishment Cultivators’ faces went pale white. They felt as if an enormous, invisible hand were bombarding them. They tumbled backward through mid-air, screaming miserably. In the blink of an eye, countless tears and rips could be seen in their bodies, and then, a moment later, they exploded into pieces.

The third echo caused the Liu Clan Patriarch, who was floating up above, to shake. His face instantly filled with an expression of disbelief and horror. Blood sprayed from his mouth as he retreated backward. He couldn’t prevent his body from beginning to rip apart.

“This… this….” His mind roared with a terror he had never known, and then he suddenly thought back to how Zhang Wenfang had mentioned an honored guest.

“Senior, spare me….” he screamed, his terror having reached the pinnacle. However, even as the words left his mouth, he suddenly burst into pieces, causing blood and flesh to rain down in all directions.

In that instant, everything went deathly silent….

ISSTH - Chapters 633 & 634

He can also protect others from that kind of attack, so Xiao wouldn't be affected either.

Gideon can cover his skin in a layer of invulnerable magic to shield himself from harm. He normally covers just the part of his skin that is about to be struck, which he does to conserve his energy, but he is very capable of covering his entire body. It isn't just limited to covering his body, he can form it into other shapes. Once he formed it into a wedge and used it as a melee weapon, and another time he created a bubble shield.

Now this isn't a passive ability, its an active one. Gideon can summon it in an instant but there is the possibility for characters to get around it. Which is why i have Deadpool's healing factor. Even if you land a few strikes on Gideons soft organic body he will heal. And if it becomes a problem that he keeps taking damage, then Gideon will stop being as conservative with his Invulnerability and start covering larger amounts of his body, making it much harder to damage him.

While that ability is ridiculously powerful, it has a bit of a weakness here. If he's not using it in his whole body, there's nothing stopping our characters from just attacking the soft parts. While Deadpool's regen is good, you might have noticed that Meng's punches tend to make people's bodies just explode entirely, so it shouldn't be very useful if a hit connects.

Even without hurting him directly, Xiao could just slap him into the Violet Sea with either Mountain Splitting Seal or Sea Flipping Seal:

Also you have to remember, our weapons are coated with Adamantium. One slice from Xiao Yan's sword and Gideon gets split in half. Add in the fact that his melee attacks are already strong enough to severely injure an island level character and Gideon is in for a hurting:

And if Gideon gets too annoying, Xiao can just lock him in a barrier of Spiritual Strength and dump him in the Violet Sea:

Conclusion:

Your team is terribly outmatched here. Korra's is way too weak to make a difference, and it doesn't help that she has no way to bend the water around her and that there's very little earth the place we're in (with both enemies being able to fly . . .). Gideon is certainly powerful, but he's also out of his league here

Really, I don't see what's stopping either of our characters from soloing.

Personally I’m not surprised that Korra is out matched here , it applies to every avatar character in general that their too weak to face so many characters this is without the obvious ones that could solo the series as a whole

It’s the classic picking characters you know/ always choose getting beaten by stronger characters you don’t know because you don’t have an expanded character library to choose the right character

I have been saying this for awhile but of course nobody listens
