Absolute Death Penalty
Boom--!
Dark lightning bolts crisscrossed wildly in the New York sky, tearing the pale green sky apart completely.
In the torrential black rain, Jiang Li carried a one-ton pure metal car chassis with one hand, striding down the empty street.
With each step, the heavy metal frame would slam into the ground, creating deep cracks.
In an atmosphere of despair where NPCs and passersby throughout the city were so desperate they were practically pulling out their metal teeth to survive, Jiang Li's act of carrying a car around the streets was like throwing a nuclear bomb into an extremely sensitive powder keg.
The thunderclouds in the sky were completely enraged.
[WARNING! Extremely high concentration of illegal metals detected!]
[Divine Punishment Locked! Absolute Erasure Program Activated!]
Above the heavens, the anomalous entity known as "Thor" directly manipulated the thunderstorm rules within a radius of several kilometers.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
In an instant, hundreds of jet-black lightning bolts, each as thick as a water vat, crashed down from the depths of the clouds like a black, reversed waterfall, all converging on the metal frame on Jiang Li's shoulder!
"Good timing!"
Jiang Li not only didn't dodge, but instead laughed loudly and lifted the bicycle frame above his head with one arm.
Boom--!!!
A hundred bolts of black lightning struck the vehicle frame simultaneously.
The blinding black plasma instantly engulfed the entire block where Jiang Li was located. The extreme heat even vaporized the asphalt road, and the red brick buildings on both sides of the street turned to ashes as if they were made of paper.
Lightning Center.
Jiang Li originally thought that this lightning bolt would penetrate his body in its [Null] state, just like the previous physical attacks.
However.
Stinging!
An extremely domineering burning sensation spread from Jiang Li's arm holding the bicycle frame to his entire body in an instant!
"Um?"
Jiang Li frowned sharply.
He looked down and saw that large areas of his arm skin beneath his trench coat were beginning to turn black. It wasn't a burn, but rather his flesh and blood cells being forcibly transformed into lifeless "carbon ash"!
[WARNING! Untargetable state encounters range environment overriding!]
[Ghost Patch is not working!]
The dial emitted a sharp red warning.
A look of sudden realization flashed in Jiang Li's eyes. He instantly saw through the underlying logic of this "Carbonization Law".
The Grey Matter's patch is designed to defend against "targeted skills," such as Iron Man's visual lock or Spider-Man's Silk of destiny. Because Jiang Li has Null, enemy skills cannot find a target.
But the current thunderstorms deal "area-of-effect (AOE) damage across the entire map!"
Thor didn't lock onto Jiang Li at all; it locked onto the metal frame above Jiang Li's head and the space where Jiang Li was located!
This is like Jiang Li turning himself into an invisible file, hiding in the D drive of a computer. Spider-Man searches for files in the D drive but can't find Jiang Li. But now, "Thor" has simply formatted the entire D drive!
Does this mean erasing the concept of "wiping out the living environment along with everything"?
Sizzle!
The terrifying Doomsday genes and Krypton cells within his body erupted with extremely dazzling golden sunlight the moment they sensed a life-threatening threat.
Cells are carbonized, and then regenerate at a hundredfold speed in the next second!
Doomsday's unsolvable "Rapid Evolution and Adaptive Resistance" forcefully engaged in a frantic tug-of-war with the Carbonization Law of the universe amidst Black Lightning's cleansing.
Jiang Li stared at the black lightning pouring down from above. The ground beneath his feet had been cleaved into a giant crater tens of meters deep.
If it were anyone else, faced with such an inescapable conceptual obliteration, their first reaction would definitely be to throw away the metal in their hand and find cover.
But Jiang Li is not.
Boom!
Jiang Li exerted force with both legs and leaped out of the scorched crater tens of meters deep!
He carried the metal chassis, which was already red-hot and half-melted from being struck by lightning, and continued running forward despite the raging thunder.
Jiang Li's original plan was to go to the Empire State Building in Manhattan. But as soon as he crossed the Queens overpass and entered an abandoned industrial area, his eyes suddenly locked onto a colossal structure in front of him.
It was an extremely large abandoned high-voltage power transmission tower.
Standing a hundred meters tall, it is entirely constructed from the hardest industrial steel. Although it is now abandoned and rusted, its dense steel frame pierces the sky, making it practically a natural super lightning rod.
In Jiang Li's [Causal Foresight] vision, the high-voltage power tower was shrouded in a dense, impenetrable crimson light.
That means that touching this power tower will immediately attract the highest level of calamity fire from "Thor".
A death trap, certain to be certain.
"The Empire State Building is too far. This thing is perfect as an appetizer."
Jiang Li stopped in his tracks.
He casually tossed the piece of the carriage frame, which had already melted into molten iron, off his shoulder onto the ground.
The entity "Thor" seemed to have sensed Jiang Li's actions, and the thunderstorm in the sky paused for an extremely brief moment. It assumed that this arrogant human had finally succumbed to the pain of carbonization and chosen to compromise and submit.
However, the next second...
Jiang Li strode towards the hundred-meter-high abandoned high-voltage power tower.
Without the slightest hesitation, he stretched out his hands and grabbed the thick, rusty steel pillar at the base of the power tower.
"You want metal, right?"
Jiang Li looked up at the churning, dark thunderclouds in the sky and let out a roar that shattered the rain.
"I'm going to give you the biggest one today!"
Click!
Jiang Li's terrifying arm muscles bulged out with a roar. With the power of the Doomsday, he stomped on the ground, uprooting the massive steel tower that weighed hundreds of tons and stood a hundred meters tall!
Rumble--!
The earthquake trembled, and dirt flew everywhere.
The black thunderclouds in the sky were completely agitated.
The oppressive atmosphere of destruction seemed to freeze the air throughout New York City. All the lightning bolts were rapidly contracting and collapsing over the industrial area.
"Come on! Chop me down!!!"
Jiang Li held up the hundred-meter-high power tower, like a sharp sword pointing straight to the sky.
The Omnitrix on his left wrist was emitting a piercing buzzing beyond its limits. Green lightning crackled wildly through the cracks in the watch face; it was a terrifying form desperately thirsting for energy, frantically pounding against the gates of the gene pool!
