The Engineer's pitch-black nanobots seemed to contain a substance designed to counter Clark's bio-electric field.
They invaded his lungs, actually causing Clark to show symptoms of oxygen deprivation.
Just as Clark's consciousness was about to sink completely into darkness.
A thought suddenly flashed through his groggy mind.
I can go into space!
The cold and oxygen-free environment of space should freeze these nanobots!
There was no point saying more. This was his last chance.
Through sheer force of will, Clark straightened himself, pointing his right hand upward.
He tensed his muscles and pushed lightly off the ground with both feet.
Like a shell fired from a cannon, he shot into the sky.
He wanted to take a gamble!
Ultraman and the Engineer immediately reacted at the sight.
Clark was trying to escape.
The two exchanged a glance, a trace of murderous intent flashing in their eyes, and gave chase right behind him.
The Engineer reacted fastest. She herself was a mass of nanobots.
But she flew using two thrusters on her back, and she was not fast enough to catch Clark immediately.
At that thought, a swarm of black nanobots surged from her body, forming several tentacles that stretched upward and soon wrapped around Clark's body.
Clark felt his body tighten, as if countless cold, venomous snakes had coiled around him.

One punch, another, and another!
Dull impacts echoed among the clouds.
The blows kept
