Red Tank: I'm Going to Tear You in Half

A sliver of blood bloomed, and the Juggernaut's shoulder was pierced by the blade, leaving a small red dot. But that was all; the sharp Adamantium Blade only made a small cut, and it could not go any further.

A muffled thud!

A tremendous force extended from beneath their feet, creating a deep crater covered in spiderweb-like cracks in the ground. A fierce wind swept through, whipping up sand and gravel, and the shockwave ravaged the entire garden.

Russell felt an immense force strike him, and was pushed backward by the Juggernaut. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the blade of the Adamantium Blade slightly bent, and immediately gave up resisting, letting the powerful force send him flying.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Three loud bangs followed in quick succession. The first was Russell crashing into the college's teaching building, which was Professor X's... room. The second was him chiseling through the entire room. The third was when he landed, leaving a wooden character about an inch deep.

"Damn, what kind of cheats is the Juggernaut using?"

Russell knew that the Juggernaut was known as unstoppable once it started charging, and its impact was among the strongest in the Marvel, but that was in the comics; in the two movies, it was only so-so.

Unexpectedly, after the potential of the Apocalypse was developed, it became so troublesome. Not only was it incredibly strong, but its skin was so thick that even Adamantium Blade couldn't pierce it.

"Wait, this is good news!"

With such a powerful enemy as the Juggernaut as an opponent, there's no need to worry about holding back and being seen through. After three to five thousand rounds, no matter how much the X-Men, Jean Grey should go berserk and unleash the Phoenix Force.

Thinking of this, Russell's eyes lit up, and he channeled Magic Power into the tattoo on the sole of his foot, repairing the injury that was affecting his physical activity.

Boom!!

On the back wall of the academy, a large, three-meter-high, human-shaped hole exploded open, next to the hole Russell had just punched through. The Juggernaut, using its elbows to clear a path, crushed all who dared to challenge it, charging headlong towards Russell.

Of all the opponents Russell had ever encountered, the Juggernaut wasn't particularly fast, but it was powerful enough to cause a massive impact, with every step it took causing the ground to shake.

"Little bug, stand still, I'm going to tear you in half."

"You should say that to Deadpool, or Spider-Man..."

Faced with the incomparably powerful Juggernaut, Russell showed no fear and charged straight at it head-on.

Although he's a bit of a coward when it comes to thick skin, and his Angel's Power, let alone conjuring up little wings, wouldn't even be able to match the Juggernaut's power to transform into a horse, he's tough enough to take a beating. With plenty of Magic Power as a backup, he can go toe-to-toe with the Juggernaut all day long.

The cold glint of the Blade reflected in his pupils, Juggernaut grinned maliciously. He loved Russell's indomitable spirit; it made the fights exciting.

Unlike those spineless sissies who are all full of wicked schemes and claim to be tough, but actually avoid fighting and are completely uninteresting.

"Roar roar roar!"

The two drew closer and closer, and the Juggernaut roared, straining to turn Russell into a cannonball once again.

A howling wind rushed towards him, making it almost impossible to breathe. Russell squinted slightly, flipped the blade with both hands, and deflected the sunlight, causing the Juggernaut to look away.

An invisible sword aura clung to the blade. Russell deflected the tip of the blade and leaped forward, aiming straight for the Juggernaut's weakest point—its eye.

Juggernaut, with his rich combat experience, saw through Russell's attack intentions and dodged at the last second, narrowly escaping the fate of being blinded.

Damn it!

Juggernaut charged dozens of meters before turning around and stopping. He wiped the knife wound on his face, saw the bloodstains on his fingertips, and immediately cursed angrily.

Russell looked surprised. The Juggernaut's defense was too exaggerated. Even the indestructible sword energy could not completely break through its defense, leaving only a bloody gash on its opponent.

However, losing a lot of blood might not be a bad idea; given the Juggernaut's fighting style, it could just run itself to death.

Thinking of this, Russell's eyes immediately became restless, scanning the Juggernaut's body from all sides.

Feeling Russell's ill-intentioned gaze, the Juggernaut felt a chill run down its spine from the soles of its feet to its groin, turning pale with fright. It roared twice, mustered its courage, and started moving.

Once he gets going, he's invincible!

Holding onto this belief, the Juggernaut was fearless and quickly suppressed his fear. However, to prevent Russell from doing anything underhanded, he changed his attack to a sidestep.

That means walking sideways!

Despite its awkward posture, the Juggernaut was able to unleash its power, arriving before Russell with an unstoppable and terrifying aura.

A powerful attack cannot be met head-on, but not meeting it means losing time. Russell raised his sword with both hands, leaped into the air, and released sword energy, striking the Juggernaut's shoulder.

Boom!

Russell was thrown off balance by the shockwave, Juggernaut suffered another wound, causing him to grimace in pain.

"Damn little bug, I'll tear you in two!"

Russell shook his head. "I know that's one of your classic lines, but could you use a different one? Saying it all the time just makes people think you're not well-read."

Juggernaut simply shut up, took a step forward, and began to rampage through the field. He didn't care if he hit Russell or got another wound; he just kept going around the field without stopping.

"Go, Juggernaut, use Roll! Then Roll! Then Roll..."

Russell made a timely comment, then suddenly had an idea and came up with a way to stop the Juggernaut.

But it's still early. The X-Men with their Magic Power senses have only just made contact with Apocalypse, and Juggernaut for a while longer.

The two then went back and forth, one using rolling and the other using continuous cutting, without changing their moves at all, and fought like this for five minutes.

Russell figured the time was about right, so he gripped his sword with both hands and raised it above his head. A massive, radiant sword aura slashed down and slammed into the top of the Juggernaut's head with a loud bang.

The Juggernaut's momentum paused briefly, then resumed full speed in less than half a second. Its body was covered in crisscrossing knife wounds, with scabbed blood clinging to its skin. Combined with its bloodshot eyes, it looked every bit the ferocious, savage beast.

Russell sheathed his sword under his abdomen, stood still, and prepared to unleash his divine skill to defeat his enemy.

When two strong forces meet, the brave one wins; when two brave forces meet, the wise one wins. But what about when two wise ones meet?

It's all about looks now!

Considering that Juggernaut can hardly be considered wise, but is more or less mentally challenged, Russell could easily outshine him without even needing to look good.

Juggernaut was unaware that Russell was plotting against him, and even if he guessed it, it didn't matter. The two fought for more than five minutes, and Juggernaut, confident that Russell couldn't break through his defenses, charged forward fearlessly.

This time, no sword energy appeared, Juggernaut was overjoyed, believing Russell had exhausted his strength. He quickened his pace, moving straight like a red wall, giving Russell no chance to catch his breath.

As the wind pressure drew near, Russell neither dodged nor avoided it, maintaining the posture of sheathing his knife under his abdomen. When the Juggernaut's iron elbow was only a few centimeters away from him, he flashed and disappeared from the spot.

The Juggernaut reacted very quickly. Seeing Russell disappear into thin air, it scanned its surroundings to guard against a sneak attack from behind, but its steps were not chaotic at all, showing the demeanor of a master who would not back down no matter how strong he was.

Then, he stepped into thin air!

Sometime later, a deep pit appeared at the feet of the Juggernaut, which was the spot where Russell disappeared. It was just the right size to accommodate one of the Juggernaut's thighs.

The Juggernaut remained calm in the face of danger, stomped its hind foot hard on the ground, and jumped up from the spot in the instant it lost its balance, thus avoiding the embarrassing situation of overturning.

"Little bug, this kind of boring trick has been tried before, you're not the first!" Juggernaut sneered. He had fought countless battles, large and small, and defeated countless Mutants and human soldiers. He had seen it all.

Having said that, the Juggernaut took a step in mid-air, and when it landed, it pushed off hard with its toes, trying to accelerate again...

Thump!

I missed another step!

This time, the Juggernaut wasn't so lucky. It dodged the first pit, but not the second, and one of its thighs sank to the ground.

Suddenly, a wisp of sword energy shot out from the ground. The Juggernaut felt a sharp pain in its ankle, screamed, and jumped up. Seeing the bloodstain on its leg, it dared not linger. With a quick stride, its massive body shot out rapidly, and then it raised its elbow...

Thump!

I stepped into an empty space!

"..."

Juggernaut was stuck in the ground, looking completely bewildered, its forehead covered in question marks. This was the third hole already, was it ever going to end?

The sword energy sliced through his leg muscles, snapping the Juggernaut out of his daze. He jumped up, his eyes warily scanning his surroundings. He raised his large foot forward... then pulled it back. To the left... that wouldn't be safe either.

"Damn bastard, I misjudged you!"

Enraged, the Juggernaut tensed all its muscles, and several spurts of blood gushed from its wounds. With a roar, it slammed its raised fists down onto the ground.

Rumble—

The spiderweb was covered with cracks, and countless dust particles rose up in the arena. After the dust settled, the Juggernaut's eyes bulged out as he looked at the mess on the field, and he was completely dismayed.

One after another, countless pits filled the entire back garden of the academy, dazzling the eyes. One large pit had four smaller ones, all interconnected, leaving no blind spots. The largest one could easily fit two Juggernaut.

"..."

I take back what I said earlier, the Juggernaut has never seen anything like this before!

"That big oaf over there..."

Russell poked half his head out of the crater behind the Juggernaut, then withdrew halfway through his sentence. When he reappeared, he was in the crater to the left of the Juggernaut.

"Keep going..."

After saying half a sentence, Russell retreated again and came to the front of the Juggernaut.

Why did you stop rushing?

"..."

Anger made the Juggernaut expressionless as it swung its fist at the groundhog in front of it.
