Exhilarating

Nick Fury of S.H.I.E.L.D. stared at the black screen and remained silent for a long while.

Meanwhile, Coulson had already appeared in the square with a blink, and the first thing he saw was the gloomy sky.

In the distance, erupting volcanoes and magma flowing in great torrents radiated scorching heat, as if they were about to devour everything.

Below him stood densely packed demons. Their contorted faces made Coulson's breathing catch.

Pamela sensed the lifeless world. As the host of the Green of All Things, she instinctively felt somewhat repulsed, but she endured it.

Kino looked at Basa sprawled on the ground. Without the slightest surprise, he said calmly, "Let's continue."

At that, Yū released her suppression of Basa. Basa quickly climbed to his feet, his eyes still filled with defiance. "You won't run away again this time, Your Majesty!"

Kino smiled faintly. "I hope you can keep that attitude a little later."

Just as he was about to attack, Venom suddenly embraced him. In the next moment, her body transformed into a golden Superman armor.

"Venom, what's with this?" Kino asked, somewhat surprised.

[You're His Majesty now, so of course you need to dress more solemnly. Besides, I want to stay on you. After all, it's only when we're together that we're...]

"Venom!"

Under the crimson sky, the golden armor gleamed with dazzling brilliance, making him appear even more majestic and powerful.

The surrounding demons couldn't help glancing over, and a flicker of surprise crossed Basa's eyes before arrogance quickly replaced it.

Pamela plopped down on the throne and began watching the battle. Yū hesitated for a moment but ultimately said nothing.

"Let's charge you up first!"

His eyes lit up with red light. Scorching Heat Vision erupted, its powerful laser shooting straight toward Basa and instantly scorching the surrounding air until it twisted.

Basa showed no fear. He spread his arms, actually choosing to embrace the powerful laser.

However, the Heat Vision was simply too powerful. In an instant, he was forced into the ground, while the earth around him gradually turned into churning magma under the intense heat.

Coulson nervously recorded everything with the hidden camera in his chest.

Suddenly, Yū turned and glanced at him. In that instant, Coulson felt as if his heart were about to stop beating.

But Yū quickly turned her head away again, and only then did Coulson breathe a sigh of relief, secretly rejoicing. Thank goodness. I thought she'd noticed me.

As he recorded, he rapidly analyzed the situation in his mind. The Demon King possesses abilities similar to Superman—super strength, flight, Heat Vision... Coulson lightly pressed the tiny computer in his pocket. As long as he could return to reality, it would automatically send this precious information back to S.H.I.E.L.D.

Kino's Heat Vision lasted a full minute. Only when his eyes began to feel dry did he finally stop. Venom swiftly helped repair the nerves around his eyes.

Kino looked at the boiling magma beneath his feet. "How much longer are you planning to lie there?"

The next moment, an undamaged arm suddenly thrust out of the magma. Gripping the flowing lava, Basa climbed out.

"Truly powerful, Your Majesty. This is the first time I've ever felt such overwhelming strength."

Basa's savage voice rang out. He now stood a full three meters tall, resembling a small giant.

His muscles bulged across his body, radiating a terrifying sense of oppression.

Coulson stared at the shocking scene before him, swallowed hard, and continued recording.

"Then what are you waiting for?"

Kino descended from the sky.

"Digesting the power inside my body."

"Have you finished digesting it?"

"Finished!"

The moment the words left his mouth, Kino appeared in front of Basa. His fist smashed toward him, while Basa's fist, its veins bulging, rose to meet Kino's attack.

The instant their fists collided, a visible energy shockwave spread outward from the two of them. The surrounding air was compressed in an instant, producing a sharp, explosive boom.

The veins on Basa's arm bulged as he caught the punch with one hand, his face twisted into a grimace.

"This level of strength isn't enough to make me submit."

"Then brace yourself for what comes next."

Kino's fists moved as swiftly as the wind, every strike carrying tremendous force and making the air tremble.

Basa was no weaker. His enormous fists were like sledgehammers, and every counterattack made the ground shudder.

"Bang!"

Another fierce exchange of fists erupted. Kino's fist slammed hard into Basa's, and the radiance produced by their collision illuminated the entire battlefield.

Their exchanges grew faster and faster. All that could be seen were crisscrossing fist shadows and the roar of impacts.

Every collision kicked up a gale, sweeping the surrounding rocks and dust high into the air.

"Boom!"

A heavy punch sent both of them staggering several steps back under the recoil. Yet they quickly steadied themselves and charged at each other again, continuing their breathtaking battle of fists.

"Exhilarating! Basa, you're strong!"

Kino laughed heartily, his laughter echoing across the entire hellish square. Excitement glimmered in his eyes.

He used no other abilities, relying solely on his physical strength. The feeling of every punch landing solidly thrilled him.

"Hahahaha! Since obtaining Superman's power, this is the first time I've had such a strong opponent!"

The golden armor covering his body flashed with dazzling light under the impacts of the battle, and every movement carried incomparable power.

"What are you talking about, you bastard!"

Basa roared. His eyes were bloodshot, and his heart was filled with fury and unwillingness.

No matter how much damage he absorbed or how much he increased his strength, Kino's power always remained a notch above his own.

That made him clearly realize that Kino had not been fighting at full strength. The realization filled the one who had always been the strongest with immense humiliation and frustration.

Basa roared again and charged at Kino. The muscles throughout his body tensed like steel from his rage, and every step left deep footprints in the ground.

Kino dealt with Basa's attacks effortlessly, as if this intense battle were merely a game in which he could release himself to his heart's content.

The surrounding demons watched the scene in shock, their eyes filled with awe and fear.

If they had knelt earlier because Kino possessed the status of a Demon King, then now they were submitting to the absolute power he had displayed.

The battlefield was continually destroyed by their fierce battle, so Yū decisively ordered the Mountain Demon to reinforce and repair it from a distance.

Hulk watched the battle, waving his arms and stamping his feet while roaring incessantly.

Blonsky was certain that such power could definitely defeat Hulk.

Frank looked at the small handgun in his hand, his gaze resolute. He secretly thought that once he formed the Demon Artifact Team, he would be able to defeat an enemy like this as well.

Coulson stopped moving his hands in despair. As he stared at the earth-shattering battle, he couldn't help wondering, Can an enemy like this really be defeated?

"Darling, you can do it." Pamela showed no fear at the scene of heaven and earth collapsing before her. Her eyes were filled with trust in Kino.

Yū also watched Kino with fervor, her eyes revealing a demon's unreserved worship of the strong.
