Electro stood calmly in place, determination shining in his eyes. He stared down the octopus's attack, then instantly unleashed a powerful surge of electricity. Sparks flashed as he transformed into a bolt of lightning, swiftly weaving through the octopus's tentacles and evading their strikes.
Kaecilius frowned slightly. He had not expected Electro to be so agile and powerful. He decided to intensify his offensive. His palms became sources of Dark Energy, firing off a barrage of shadow energy blasts.
Electro reacted at once, rapidly dodging the bombardment of shadow energy blasts. Then, he drew upon his electrical power to condense an Electrical Shield around himself.
"You think your electricity can defeat darkness?" Kaecilius sneered as an aura of darkness spread around him.
Electro watched Kaecilius, confidence gleaming in his eyes. "Oh, is that so?" he said firmly.
With a thought from Kaecilius, another octopus surged out of the darkness and lunged at Electro. Electro swiftly evaded it, avoiding its tentacles with agile movements.
Electro immediately counterattacked, unleashing lightning-fast speed as he charged toward Kaecilius. He appeared beside him in an instant and slammed an electricity-wreathed fist at his opponent.
However, Kaecilius used Darkness Power to create a dark shield, blocking Electro's punch. A sly glint flashed through his eyes. He knew Electro would not be easy to deal with.
Kaecilius began casting Black Magic. With a thought, Dark Energy erupted from his body and transformed into a dark serpent that lunged to bite Electro.
Electro reacted quickly. He unleashed his electrical power and accelerated his body to the limit, easily dodging the dark serpent's bite. Then, he used his electrical power to form a current that shot from his hand and blasted fiercely toward Kaecilius.
Feeling the current's might, Kaecilius quickly cast Black Magic, wrapping his body in darkness to form a sturdy protective barrier. Though Electro's attack was fierce, it could not penetrate the dark barrier.
The battle reached a stalemate, with both men attacking and defending in turn.
Electro used electricity to form currents, moving rapidly as he attempted to close in on Kaecilius and deliver a fatal blow. Kaecilius, meanwhile, skillfully used Black Magic to create illusions and distractions, trying to divide Electro's attention and expose an opening.
In battle, Electro displayed outstanding combat intelligence. Relying on his agility and speed, he dodged Kaecilius's dark attacks while searching for his opponent's weaknesses. He constantly adjusted his tactics, concentrating his attacks on the weak points in Kaecilius's defenses.
Kaecilius, on the other hand, excelled at using dark power for schemes and ambushes. His unpredictable techniques and summoned dark octopuses often put Electro on the defensive. Yet Electro remained calm and resourceful. With powerful control and an unyielding will, he always retained command of the battle.
Floating in the air, Electro looked down at Kaecilius before him.
"You are a powerful opponent." Electro raised his right arm and pressed it against his heart. "I can feel the excited battle cells within me roaring, joyfully savoring this battle."
"So, you will be the first opponent to face my ultimate technique." Electro descended to the ground and stared directly at him.
Standing on the battlefield, Electro recalled the martial arts principles Master Zhen Yuanzhai had once taught him. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and began revisiting those precious teachings, gaining new insights from them.
Consolidate the Foundation and Cultivate the Origin—he realized that he needed to reinforce his inner stability and his unity with electrical power. He focused his attention inward, feeling the flow of that energy and steadying his mind.
Use stillness to overcome motion—he understood that he needed calm thought and reactions to fight Kaecilius's dark power. He deeply understood that only inner peace could withstand the turmoil of the outside world.
Unify abilities—he began to realize that his superpowers did not exist in isolation. They could merge and converge, producing even greater power. He combined his electrical power with his own willpower, further enhancing it.
Amid his recollections and realizations, Electro gradually discovered an entirely new ultimate finishing move. He decided to give this skill a special name—"Soul of the Thunder God."
"Soul of the Thunder God" was a finishing move Electro had created for himself. It could grant him a series of buff effects. When he activated this ultimate technique, he could release electrical power at a higher frequency, accelerating his movement speed and reaction ability, increasing his attack power, and strengthening both his defense and willpower.
Electro gathered the electrical energy within his body and felt it willingly becoming one with him. Bright electricity began flickering over his body, while a layer of electric arcs wrapped around him and released intense waves of energy.
Electro also sensed his current state and compared it to the so-called Elementalization he had used when he had seized the entire city's electrical power to fight Spider-Man before coming to this world.
"Right now, I am invincible."
Seeing this, Kaecilius could not help becoming wary. He knew Electro had entered an even more powerful state. This would be an even fiercer confrontation.
Electro activated "Soul of the Thunder God" and charged at Kaecilius without hesitation. His speed was astonishing. In nearly the blink of an eye, he arrived before Kaecilius. With thunderous speed, he swung his electricity-filled fist and slammed it viciously toward him.
Kaecilius felt Electro's power increase, and his Black Magic seemed unable to fully withstand Electro's attacks.
One punch. Just one punch.
Kaecilius's black magic shield shattered, sending him flying. Then, while still in midair, he cast Black Magic in an attempt to escape.
The power of "Soul of the Thunder God" gradually revealed itself. Electro's fists released lightning-like energy, every strike carrying the force to tear through the air. He condensed electricity between his palms, forming an electric arc that blasted toward Kaecilius's body.
"Impossible! How could a human body be enhanced to withstand such violently intense energy?" Kaecilius stared in disbelief, completely unaware that Electro and a series of Hawke Group superheroes had already been injected with specially developed G-Virus serums.
Electro pursued Kaecilius, his fists releasing dazzling electric light as powerful energy shocks erupted in an instant. Kaecilius dodged with all his might, trying to avoid Electro's attacks, but his Black Magic was no longer as effective.
An electric arc struck Kaecilius's body, erupting with a massive energy shock. The dark figure was instantly blasted back by the electricity. Kaecilius roared in pain as darkness continuously seeped from his wounds.
Electro showed no mercy. He continued his fierce assault, moving rapidly and closing in on Kaecilius. Every punch carried the power of electricity, instantly driving Kaecilius to his limit.
Kaecilius resisted with all his strength, summoning dark octopuses in an attempt to distract Electro. However, Electro was agile enough to easily evade their attacks and continue pressing toward Kaecilius.
Electro gathered electrical energy in his palm, forming a powerful current. His fist released a lethal bolt of lightning that shot straight toward Kaecilius. The lightning cleaved through the dark air with destructive force, destined to deliver Kaecilius a fatal blow.
Kaecilius felt the danger of death. Drawing upon his last strength, he fully deployed a protective barrier of Black Magic, trying to block Electro's fatal attack.
Lightning and darkness intertwined, producing a violent explosion. Waves of electric light and dark energy filled the battlefield, creating a dazzling yet perilous scene.
However, when the energy dispersed, only Electro remained standing on the battlefield, gazing triumphantly at the fallen Kaecilius. His "Soul of the Thunder God" ultimate technique had brought him victory and defeated Kaecilius.
Electro slowly withdrew "Soul of the Thunder God." He took a deep breath and swept his resolute gaze across the battlefield.
"Hahahahahaha!"
Electro frowned as he listened to Kaecilius's laughter, even though he lay on the ground covered in wounds.
Kaecilius revealed an evil, meaningful expression. "This time, I admit defeat, Electro. I'll remember you." With that, his body slowly scattered into fragments and dissipated into the sky.
Electro merely watched for a moment before continuing his operation.
"Who are you people?" John Walker looked disdainfully at a group of Hydra soldiers as they approached the Hawke Group with hostile gazes.
"Henshin!"
John Walker transformed into Kamen Rider Duke, radiating a powerful presence and a confident smile. He wore black armor adorned with golden patterns across the chest and a helmet decorated with bird wings.
The Hydra soldiers opened fire on Kamen Rider Duke.
"Looks like they underestimated me." John Walker swung the Sonic Blade, his body rapidly weaving through the Hydra soldiers. His movements were agile and precise, every slash carrying the force of a sonic boom as he cut down his enemies.
The Sonic Blade cleaved downward, and the Hydra soldiers' defensive line began to collapse. John Walker's blade produced streaks of lightning-like sword light, cutting enemies in half. His attacks were so fast they were impossible to follow, his blade darting among the enemy ranks and leaving them utterly unable to fight back.
Meanwhile, two Winter Soldiers were closing in on Kamen Rider Duke from the rear. They carried coldness and killing intent, but John Walker showed no fear. He swiftly turned, locking his gaze on the two Winter Soldiers.
"You two will not be my opponents either," John Walker said, his voice filled with confidence in battle.
The two Winter Soldiers silently approached Kamen Rider Duke. Their steps were nimble, their eyes cold, and the weapons in their hands gleamed with icy light.
