Fierce Battle in Earth's Space
Robet had barely finished speaking when Kael vanished from his spot. When he reappeared, he was already in front of Robet, throwing a punch at Robet's body. He was even more eager to start the fight than Robet!
With a loud bang, Robet blocked Kael's punch, but his body was inevitably knocked back. He wasn't seriously injured, but the building in the distance wasn't so lucky; it was smashed through and collapsed on the spot.
"Boom!"
Hearing the commotion, Hellboy turned around and glanced back, but ultimately did not stop or go to help. Instead, he ran towards the church.
After all, Robet saved him. Since Robet asked him to deal with Zeldar, he would cooperate with Constantine to deal with Zeldar first. As for a powerful enemy like the Hell Lord, that was something Robet could only handle himself; he had no way of getting involved...
"You've got quite the nerve, but with your strength, you dare to rescue someone from my grasp and even challenge me to a fight? Looks like you've never truly died before!" Kael looked towards the ruins, a hint of disdain in his expression. He had initially thought Robet was some powerful figure, or perhaps the Ancient One had rescued Hellboy, but after their recent exchange, Kael's wariness of Robet had instantly decreased considerably.
"To be honest, I have actually died before, and more than once..." Robet's figure slowly emerged from the ruins, a smile on his face, his eyes flashing with intense fighting spirit, though he didn't fully unleash it. "By the way, why haven't they arrived yet? If a real war breaks out, I'm afraid Earth won't be able to withstand it, will it?"
Robet was somewhat puzzled. Just from Kael's aura, Robet could analyze that Kael's strength at this moment was definitely the strongest he had ever seen among his enemies, even surpassing Mephisto. Mephisto hadn't fully descended that time, and his power hadn't truly reached its peak. Moreover, that was an opponent Robet and Clark fought together, so it was definitely not as strong as Kael now.
The same applies to Naxhi. Even though Naxhi received the power of the original body behind him, his Human Vessel was not perfect, and the power he descended to had its limits. Unlike the current Kael, who, while not possessing the full combat power of the original body, still had about 80 or 90 percent of it, the only difference was the lack of the power of the Hell Dimension and the difference in their physical bodies.
Therefore, facing such an enemy, Robet had to go all out, but Earth really couldn't withstand such a barrage of firepower. So Robet was very puzzled as to why the Ancient One hadn't appeared yet.
Without the Ancient One who could open the Mirror Dimension, Robet was somewhat disoriented and hesitant to unleash his full power in battle, especially since the surroundings weren't exactly remote...
"You're waiting for rescue? What? Now that you know who I am, do you think anyone on Earth can stand against me?" Hearing Robet's voice, Kael chuckled dismissively and said, "As for Earth not being able to withstand it, you're really overthinking it. I'll take good care of Earth; at least until I get my hands on it, it won't be harmed..."
"Is that so? Then I'm relieved!" Upon hearing this, Robet gave Kael a deep look, and his fighting spirit and power were no longer suppressed. They erupted instantly, and he not only completed the transformation of the Great Ape Power: Wrath, but his figure also disappeared from the spot.
"Hmm?" When he saw Robet suddenly disappear from the spot, Kael's gaze sharpened, because he hadn't even seen Robet's movement clearly. If it weren't for the faint sense of threat emanating from the surroundings, he would have even suspected that Robet had escaped using some special means.
Upon seeing this, Kael instantly became alert. He realized he had underestimated Robet; Robet's strength was far greater than he had imagined!
Thinking of this, Kael's expression gradually became serious. Just then, a figure appeared behind him and delivered a right roundhouse kick to his body. Kael's reaction speed was already very fast, but it was still a little slow. His power had not been fully released, and he was unable to completely block Robet's attack. His body flew out and crashed into another building, and even crashed directly into the ground.
"Boom!" The entire earth trembled from Kael's impact, causing Robet to frown. If such a commotion had occurred during a previous battle, Robet wouldn't have paid much attention, as the destructive power of such battles was indeed difficult to control.
However, having previously benefited from the Mirror Dimension, Robet had gradually become accustomed to fighting freely within Mirror Dimension. Now, causing direct damage to Earth in this way made Robet quite uncomfortable.
"Good! Very good! I never expected that there would be an unknown lord-level powerhouse like you on Earth. Are you a god of Earth? No, the gods of Earth left long ago. You are not a member of the Sorcerer Supreme lineage either. Who exactly are you?" From within the deep pit, Kael's eerie voice echoed, as if it came from hell, carrying a chilling aura that seemed to freeze the surrounding air.
"Why all the nonsense? I'm not really interested in your background, all I care about is a good fight!" Robet's lips curled into a slight smile as he looked towards the deep pit. "So, you'd better get serious. With your strength, it's really a shame you were just sent flying by me!"
"Indeed..." Kael responded in agreement. Even as his voice still echoed, Robet instantly sensed a crisis. Robet's expression hardened, and he immediately prepared to defend himself, but he was still blasted away by a terrifying force.
"Bang!"
"Call out!"
Just as Robet's body was sent flying, a cold beam of energy, seemingly capable of freezing everything around him, was released, aimed directly at Robet's body. At the same time, Kael's voice rang out. "Let me unleash my true power. How many moves can you withstand? Even among lords, there are differences. You are far from being a level that I would fear!"
"So strong!" A thought flashed through Robet's mind. The intensity of Kael's attack just now had indeed exceeded Robet's tolerance. At least for now, Robet had just activated the Great Ape Power: Wrath, was no match for Kael. Robet was even a little too slow to defend against the freezing energy that was about to hit him.
With a "whoosh," Robet was not without a means of counterattack. The difference in strength would not completely deprive Robet of the ability to fight back. With the release of the Berserker Fist, Robet instantly released his stiffened state and condensed a powerful Explosive Flames, which blasted towards the direction of the frozen energy.
Robet could have released his Ki Blast in time, but judging from the energy released by Kael, the opponent was an ice-type Hell Demon, so using Explosive Flames would be a form of elemental advantage.
"Boom!"
However, when the Explosive Flames collided with the frozen energy, they did not begin to fuse like ice meets fire. Instead, they exploded like flames hitting a bomb. The powerful blast wave flattened everything around them, and all the houses disappeared, leaving only a large crater!
"Alert! A terrifying explosion has been detected in the xx area, exceeding the level of a nuclear bomb. It is suspected that powerful superhumans are engaged in battle!" Jarvis's alarm sounded quickly at the Avengers Base, startling Tony Stark and the others who were still researching Venom.
"Investigate the situation over there as soon as possible using satellites! Notify the Avengers! Notify the Saiyan and Superman!" Tony Stark quickly issued the order after regaining his composure. He knew that a battle of this magnitude posed a significant threat to Earth. Even though he didn't know the cause of the explosion, Tony Stark immediately prepared for the worst.
"Why didn't the Ancient One come out and take them to the Mirror Dimension during such a battle?" Morbius muttered to himself, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.
Similar terrifying explosions have occurred before, but apart from the battle between Robet and the Hell Demon King, none of the subsequent horrific battles took place in Earth's normal space. This can be considered as maintaining Earth's normal order and preventing Earth from being directly destroyed in these battles.
However, this time, the Ancient One did not appear, forcing Robet to fight a Hell Lord like Kael in normal Earth space. The battle is not even at its most intense yet; it is merely the first clash of energies after the initial collision. Even so, it has already exceeded the destructive capabilities of human technology. If the fight continues, Earth will absolutely not be able to withstand it!
"Unable to contact the Saiyan, but we've made contact with Superman. He says he's on his way..." Jarvis's voice quickly rang out in the Avengers Base, making Tony Stark and the others relax a little. After all, Clark's strength was still quite trustworthy.
However, the inability to contact Robet caused Tony Stark and the others to hesitate. They began to wonder if this battle was related to Robet, or if Robet had encountered some powerful enemy again. Like Morbius, they were puzzled as to why a powerful enemy had appeared but the Ancient One had not.
"Sorry, satellite surveillance cannot detect any battle activity at the location; it's shrouded in smoke and fog..." Just as Tony Stark and the others were hesitating, Jarvis's voice rang out again, making Jarvis unable to sit still any longer. They quickly rushed towards the location of the explosion.
It's not just the Avengers who noticed the shockwave; many official forces also detected it and rushed to the scene.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
On the other side, where Robet and Kael were fighting, after the Explosive Flames and freezing energy collided, Robet's body was not blasted away. He activated Berserker Fist and charged forward, directly to Kael's side, restarting the hand-to-hand combat.
However, Robet did not have an easy time in this melee. After all, he was facing a Hell Lord had perfectly descended to earth in Human Vessel. Even if the opponent was not one of the best Hell Lord, his strength was not to be underestimated. Even with Robet's transformation into the Great Ape Power: Wrath, it was difficult for him to gain any advantage over Kael.
In just a brief exchange, Robet had already sustained considerable injuries. Blood dripped continuously, only to evaporate in mid-air due to the repeated collisions between Robet and Kael. Furthermore, Kael's power continued to invade and damage Robet's body, limiting Robet regenerative abilities.
Fortunately, under the dual buffs of the Great Ape Power: Wrath and Berserker Fist, Robet's strength did not fluctuate due to his injuries and various negative statuses. On the contrary, even though Robet looked disheveled and covered in blood, his fighting spirit continued to rise. In particular, Robet's expression became increasingly excited. Even in the dust, Kael could still see Robet's shining eyes, full of fighting spirit and excitement!
This situation made Kael frown. When the battle officially began, Kael had already tested Robet's strength. Robet's strength could indeed be described as that of Hell Lord, and even among Hell Lord, he was definitely not weak. However, there was a considerable gap between their strengths!
This can be seen from the fact that Robet has been injured countless times, while Kael has not suffered any injuries at all.
However, what Kael couldn't understand was why, during the battle, no matter how powerful he unleashed, no matter how badly he injured Robet, Robet's body remained firmly entangled with him, constantly launching attacks without ever retreating!
As the battle progressed, Robet's expression grew Central City excited, causing Kael to wonder if he had encountered some kind of madman from Earth.
Of course, the most important thing was that Kael gradually discovered that as Robet became more and more excited, the injuries his attacks inflicted on Robet were not as severe as they had been initially. As Robet's new injuries became lighter, his previous injuries also slowly recovered thanks to his powerful healing abilities, which allowed Robet's combat power to increase even faster.
This was practically a winning cycle, leaving Kael completely bewildered. He had never seen Robet's fighting style and abilities before, which gradually put Kael under pressure, because he didn't know if Robet's combat power was increasing without limit...
