A Fierce Battle

A powerful force pressed down upon him.

Even Gu Qing could not help but take a step back.

But that force was too dispersed; it was nowhere near enough to harm Gu Qing.

Andrew, on the other hand, had a line of blood running down from the top of his head.

Splat! Splat!

Blood sprayed everywhere!

That slash had nearly split his entire body in two!

It had cut through not only flesh, but even cracked his skull!

It had come within a hair's breadth of reaching the most critical weak point—his brain!

"Cellular Recombination! Recombine for me!!"

Andrew roared madly. His Cellular Recombination had already been slowing under the continual drain.

But as his power increased, its speed returned to its peak.

In the blink of an eye, the horrific wound that had nearly cleaved him apart was fully restored.

"70,000 Horsepower—God's Fist!!"

Andrew looked utterly deranged, as though he no longer possessed the slightest fear.

Without retreating in the least, he immediately followed up with another punch.

When Gu Qing had decided to teach them the Magnetic Field Martial Way, aside from earning Spacetime Value, he had intended to use them as nourishment for himself.

This was the day he had been waiting for—the day they grew strong enough to serve as opponents and force out more of his own potential.

So that he could grow rapidly and become stronger even faster!

Naturally, he would not avoid battle!

He thrust out a palm as well.

Like a leaping tiger opening its bloody maw, it swore to bite, tear, and shred everything before it into pieces!

"Andrew! A flashy name doesn't make a move stronger!

Take this—50,000 Horsepower, Fierce Tiger Climbs Mountain!!"

As the two continued to clash, the seawater behind them suddenly churned, and a figure burst out from within.

"Anyone who stands in my way will be destroyed!

The world will surely return to how it was! You people who bring chaos to the world, all of you can go to hell!!

—YAAH! 70,000 Horsepower, Evil Extermination Fist!!"

Who would have thought!

Matt had not only returned to the battlefield, but had also broken through to 70,000 Horsepower in one stroke!

At that moment, his eyes shone with a resolve as unshakable as stone!

Even if Torres brainwashed him for several more months now, it would be impossible to shake his convictions in the slightest.

Bang!

A punch struck Gu Qing squarely in the back. Even he could not help crying out in pain!

Yet he showed not the slightest anger. Instead, he burst into wild laughter!

"Hahaha! Good! Excellent! That's it, that's exactly it!

For our respective beliefs, for our respective goals, let us fight!!!"

Attacked from both front and back, Gu Qing faced the combined assault of two Magnetic Field Masters capable of wielding 70,000 Horsepower.

Could he still handle it?

Absolutely. Easily, in fact!!

The leaders of nations watching everything through satellites could not help but grow grim-faced!

The United States was especially so!

Because by this point, the United States understood better than anyone just how powerful these Superpowered Individuals were.

Whether it was the disaster that had first occurred in Seattle, Andrew's subsequent attacks to coerce the United States into recognizing his status as the "God of the New World," or his annihilation of the entire Fifth Fleet after occupying the Kingdom of Bahrain—followed by his repeated destruction of several key military bases to force Matt to reveal himself.

It could be said that Andrew alone had inflicted incalculable losses upon the United States!

They were also the ones who most wanted every last one of these people dead.

Washington.

The White House.

"Fuck! Why did another one suddenly appear?! Just how many of these superhumans are there? Can someone tell me?!"

In the conference room, the president slammed the table and roared like a madman.

"Mr. President, please calm down. According to General William, during the interrogation, they learned that the reason the four of them gained their powers was because they were exposed to radiation from a massive underground crystal in Ravenhill, Seattle."

After interrogating Matt, William had immediately rushed to Seattle.

Later, Matt took the opportunity to destroy the base and escape.

Once the matter was exposed, William was recalled to The Pentagon.

Having no other choice, he reported some of the information he had obtained from Matt.

"A crystal?! Just how much are those military bastards hiding from me?! Fuck!"

"Mr. President, according to General William, after excavating the site, he found no trace of any crystal. They now suspect this was actually Matt Garetty's ploy to lure them away."

"What about the other one? Where is the other one?"

"Intelligence indicates that the other man was named Steve Montgomery. He was already killed by Andrew Detmer during the battle in Seattle."

"Excellent! Such threats should never exist in this world. Only three remain now, and they're gathered together. This is our chance! Issue the order—prepare to launch the Nuclear Bomb at any time!"

"But, Mr. President, when missiles were launched at them before, it was confirmed that they possessed some kind of EMP Attack ability. The missiles simply could not be detonated!"

"If that's the case, then how was that Thermobaric Bomb detonated in Seattle?"

"This..."

"Mr. President, I have a theory. Clearly, their ability isn't omnipotent. And right now, they're killing each other. We can wait until they're about to determine a victor before launching the Nuclear Bomb.

At that point, perhaps they'll no longer be able to use that EMP Attack."

"Good! Do as you say. This must be carried out, and no one is to play any tricks behind my back! They must die. Anything that threatens the security of the United States will absolutely not be allowed to exist!"

"Yes, sir."

CIA base.

Torres quickly received the news that the president had ordered a nuclear strike against the three of them.

"Fuck!"

Torres frowned deeply and cursed aloud.

He had worked so hard to thoroughly fool Matt.

But if Matt was really killed by a Nuclear Bomb, then everything he had done before would have been for nothing.

Watching the satellite surveillance footage of the three men continuously erupting into battle, the unwilling Torres' eyes shifted as he pondered something unknown.

Persian Gulf.

Facing the frenzied assault of the two men, who had grown even stronger, Gu Qing no longer held the upper hand as he had before.

Instead, he was drawn into a fierce battle.

Magnetic Field Masters could undergo Cellular Recombination at any time. Unless an attack threatened the heart or brain, any injury was no different from a flesh wound.

Even though the three fought viciously, every punch and kick delivered with all their strength, often inflicted severe injuries, splitting skin and even shattering bones!

Yet as long as they activated their Magnetic Field Power and underwent Cellular Recombination, they could recover in a short time.

When Magnetic Field Masters of equal strength fought, it was difficult to determine a winner in a short period of time.

However, this deadlocked situation suited Gu Qing perfectly!

When he had been learning fighting techniques before, he had sparred with plenty of people.

But he had always suppressed his true strength then.

He was never able to fight to his heart's content.

Now that he had fully let loose, it allowed him to absorb everything he had learned over the past several days much faster.

The bits of awkwardness that had remained were also being tempered through the constant fighting, becoming smoother and more integrated!
