Tomb of Another Dimension
Dark red buds of flesh intertwined with the bloody hole in Morlun's chest, wriggling and healing at a visible speed. He twisted his neck, and his cervical spine cracked.
"Nuclear radiation. Brutal, but filling."
Morlun grinned, revealing sharp fangs. He bent his knees slightly and stomped so hard that he shattered the concrete slab beneath his feet.
Boom!
A blast of air surged into the sky. Morlun transformed into a dark red afterimage, hurtling straight towards Jiang Li.
The speed was even faster than before! The absorption of life force caused his physical functions to surge once again.
Jiang Li did not retreat.
A thought flashed through my mind.
Swish!
The towering nuclear-powered mech disappeared, replaced by a bulky figure wearing heavy Soviet Union radiation-proof armor and a thick iron helmet.
[NRG (NRG)]!
Bang!
Morlun's heavy fist slammed into the iron helmet.
A punch powerful enough to pierce an aircraft carrier's armor left only a shallow fist mark on the surface of the helmet. Instead, it was Morlun's knuckles that cracked with a sickening sound.
"What a piece of junk!" Morlun roared, turning his fist into a claw, trying to tear open the armor and drain its life force.
"Warning. Casing temperature: 4,000 degrees."
A dull, mechanical voice came from under Jiang Li's helmet.
Sizzle!
The moment Morlun's fingers touched the armor, his palm was instantly scalded and torn open, the smell of burnt meat filling the air.
Is it too hot to handle?
Jiang Li grabbed the visor bars of the helmet with both hands and pulled upwards sharply.
Call----!!!
The mask opened. The extremely high-intensity radioactive beam accumulated inside the armor erupted like a live volcano, spraying directly at Morlun's face.
"Ah!!!"
Morlun screamed in agony. His facial flesh melted instantly, revealing stark white bones. He crossed his arms in front of him, using the force of the beam to propel himself backward dozens of meters, crashing through a load-bearing wall.
"Not dead?" Jiang Li on his mask, his face expressionless.
Amidst the ruins, Morlun staggered to his feet. Flesh sprouted anew from the white bones of his face.
The self-healing ability of the Inheritors is nothing short of abnormal.
"You can't kill me." Morlun gasped for breath, his last remaining dark red eye fixed on Jiang Li. "I am immortal. And your energy will eventually run out."
Morlun suddenly turned her head and looked at Gwen not far away.
"The blood of the totem can restore me instantly."
Bang!
Morlun changed his target, ignoring Jiang Li, and sped along the ground, heading straight for Gwen.
"Dad, get out of the way!" Gwen shoved Chief George Stacy aside, raised her wrist, and prepared to shoot out Silk.
But Morlun was too fast, covering the hundred-meter distance almost instantly, his claws aimed straight at Gwen's throat.
Swish!
A dark blue-black gale suddenly arose.
[XLR8]!
Jiang Li arrived first despite being behind. His afterimage flashed by, and a fierce whip kick slammed into Morlun's side.
Bang!
Morlun was kicked and sent flying, crashing heavily into the middle of the street.
Just as he was about to get up, the green light flashed again.
Swish!
Jiang Li transformed into a small red rocky asteroid, hovering above Morlun's head.
Gravattack!
Kneel down.
Jiang Li pressed down with both arms, instantly activating the full gravitational field.
Boom!
The ground beneath Morlun's feet instantly collapsed into a crater ten meters in diameter. A thousand times the force of gravity pressed down on his back without reservation.
"Ugh..." Morlun slammed his knees to the ground, his kneecaps shattering instantly. He braced himself with his hands on the ground, his muscles torn from the extreme exertion, blood gushing out.
But he was still not crushed.
"I am... a god!" Morlun roared, and despite the force of a thousand times gravity, he managed to straighten his back inch by inch.
"They're tough. And they're impossible to kill."
Jiang Li looked down at Morlun, who was struggling to hold on, and his mind raced.
He was well aware of the Inheritors's structure. If he killed Morlun on a physical level, his consciousness would instantly transfer to a clone at headquarters, allowing him to resurrect infinitely.
"Since we can't kill him, let's try a different approach."
Jiang Li raised his right hand, activating the space permissions of Omnitrix.
laugh--
At the bottom of the deep pit beneath Morlun, a purplish-black spatial rift was forcibly torn open.
Inside the crack, there was no light, no sound. Only endless nothingness and floating fragments of meteorite.
The Null Void.
The highest-level extradimensional prison of the Plumbers.
"Where am I?!" Morlun looked down into the purplish-black Abyss and instinctively felt fear. He desperately tried to crawl out of the pit.
"Your grave."
Swish!
A green light shot into the sky.
The red gravitational asteroid disappeared. A cosmic giant, tens of meters tall, red and white in color, with a sharp blade on its head, rose from the ground.
[Way Big]!
Jiang Li looked down at Morlun, who was struggling like an ant at the bottom of the pit.
He lifted that enormous foot.
Aiming at Morlun, stomp down!
"No!!!"
Bang!!!
The giant foot slammed down, kicking Morlun and the surrounding rubble into the crack in the Null Void like trash.
Jiang Li withdrew his foot, and with a thought...
The purplish-black spatial rift closed instantly, leaving not even a ripple.
Physical suppression, transdimensional exile.
Without death, Morlun's cloning and regeneration mechanism cannot be triggered. He will drift endlessly and starve in that void dimension where there is no life force to draw upon, until his mind completely collapses.
A decisive goal.
Swish.
Jiang Li deactivated his transformation, reverted to human form, and landed steadily on the ravaged street.
The battle is over.
Only the rustling sound of a gentle breeze blowing away dust remained in the air.
Not far away, Chief George Stacy held a pistol, his wrist still frozen in mid-air. He looked at the huge crater created by a single stomp, then at Jiang Li walking over, and swallowed hard.
"Gwen ..." Chief George Stacy's voice trembled, "Is your boyfriend some kind of alien god?"
Gwen removed her hood, breathed a sigh of relief, ran to Jiang Li's side, checked him over from head to toe, and only after confirming that he was not injured did she turn to look at her father.
"Dad, let me formally introduce you." Gwen took Jiang Li's arm, a proud smile on her face. "Jiang Li, the supreme leader of the Plumbers, and... my boyfriend."
Jiang Li nodded to Director George Stacy and extended his right hand.
"Nice to meet you, Chief Stacy. Although things are a bit chaotic, I assure you, I'm a good person."
Director George Stacy looked at Jiang Li's hand, hesitated for a moment, and then reached out and shook it.
"As long as you don't tear New York down... I have no objection."
Jiang Li smiled and released his grip. He turned around and walked towards the white-haired boy, Albedo, who was still unconscious on the ground.
Jiang Li bent down, ripped off the shattered and malfunctioning red Ultimatrix from Albedo's wrist, and threw it into his subspace pocket.
"Gwen." Jiang Li's tone regained its commanding seriousness.
"Exist."
"Calling the Moon Base. Deploy two Plumbers assault ships, bringing engineering robots and a medical team."
Jiang Li surveyed the shattered city around him, his gaze deep and thoughtful.
"Since we're here, let's set up a branch on Earth-65."
