Hearing Luca's mockery.
Vince couldn't hold back any longer.
We've been exposed!
I've already been exposed!
Vince, or rather, Aruru.
At that moment, his heart was filled with turbulent emotions.
He always thought he had infiltrated perfectly, after all, that bald woman hadn't come looking for him.
However, Luca had already seen through his true colors!
"Now that you already know, there's no need for me to play this boring game of pretense with you anymore!"
Aruru let out a roar that was unlike anything in human form.
He knew that if he didn't fight desperately today, he would definitely not be able to leave here alive.
The next second, a strange sound rang out from the corner of the stage.
"Click click click!!"
Vince's human body instantly disintegrated.
A large amount of dark, viscous substance gushed out of the body.
These black substances, like living liquid, quickly enveloped its entire body.
In just a few seconds, a black monster, as big as the Hulk, suddenly appeared.
His body was covered in defined muscles, and his gaping maw was filled with a jumble of fangs, while his long tongue flicked through the air.
Then, with a loud whoosh, a pair of enormous black fleshy wings unfurled from its back!
These fleshy wings blotted out the sky, like a demon crawling out of the depths of hell.
Aruru
The audience, who had been cheering for the Justice League, were now scrambling to escape for their lives.
The Justice League members were also stunned.
I just finished dismantling a bunch of scrap metal and haven't had a chance to rest yet.
Unexpectedly, a real monster suddenly appeared.
Steve frowned.
As a World War II veteran, he had seen countless disgusting experimental subjects, but this thing in front of him still challenged his aesthetic bottom line.
So Steve spat on the ground and started cursing.
"Holy shit! What the hell is this thing?!"
Steve pointed his shield at Aruru, his voice so loud that the whole arena could hear him.
"It looks like a black jackal with wings!"
"Did you crawl out of some old woman's vagina?! Looking at your face makes me want to throw up even my leftover hamburger!"
Tony and Peter, standing nearby, couldn't help but twitch their lips.
Tony couldn't help but mutter a complaint.
"Captain, your vocabulary is truly eye-opening. I suggest you go to Hollywood and write R-rated movie scripts; you'd definitely win Oscar."
However, Aruru ignored Steve's insults and instead stared intently at Luca.
"Earthlings, you are too arrogant! Today, you will all die here!"
Previously, Aruru absorbed a large amount of reactor energy in the laboratory.
Although that energy is very unstable, it is enormous enough.
At this moment, it mobilized these energies.
"Boom!"
A purple light shone from Aruru's chest.
Immediately afterwards, a purple energy wave erupted from its center, sweeping across the entire stage and the surrounding area!
The energy wave was so fast that no one had time to dodge it.
Moreover, this energy also possesses extremely strong debilitating and corrosive properties.
The first to be hit was Hulk was just about to rush in for a hand-to-hand fight.
" Hulk! Smash!"
Hulk roared and charged at Aruru, swinging his fists.
However, after the energy wave swept across Hulk's body, a sudden change occurred.
Hulk froze for a moment, as if all his strength had been drained.
His angry eyes became glazed over, his legs buckled, and he collapsed to his knees with a thud.
Even his earth-shattering roar turned into weak gasps.
" Hulk... I'm out of strength..."
Hulk's body began to shrink slightly, then he transformed back into Banner.
It has to be said, this was the worst Hulk had ever suffered.
On the other hand, Tony's situation was even worse.
This suit of armor originally sacrificed defensive capabilities.
Therefore, when the energy wave swept across the armor, the internal circuitry was instantly severely corroded and short-circuited.
"Warning! System has encountered unknown energy corruption! Energy transmission interrupted! Armor integrity reduced by 80%!"
JARVIS's alarm blared wildly inside the helmet.
"Sizzle!!"
Sparks erupted from the surface of the armor.
Immediately afterwards, accompanied by several muffled explosions, the chest armor and leg armor shattered instantly!
He felt a chilling force pierce through his armor and strike his chest directly.
"Puff!"
Tony coughed up a mouthful of blood and was instantly sent flying backward, unable to get up for a long time.
"Fuck! Damn it! Get moving!"
He lay on the ground, his eyes bloodshot, pounding the earth with his fists.
But he had no strength at all and felt very weak.
Steve reacted the fastest, immediately raising his shield to shield himself.
However, the impact of the energy wave was too great, and it was also penetrating.
"Bang!"
Steve, shield and all, was blasted away.
After tumbling several times in mid-air, it crashed into a pile of steel wreckage.
"Fuck! That son of a bitch's fart stinks!"
Steve grumbled as he tried to get up, only to find that all the muscles in his body were twitching.
Only two people in the entire arena escaped this fatal blow.
Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy Daisy.
The moment the purple light shone from Aruru's chest, both of their Spider-Sense screamed simultaneously.
With their superhuman reflexes, the two shot out Silk, causing the overhead lampposts above them to swing dozens of meters into the air.
They narrowly escaped the energy wave.
Driven by an instinct for crisis, Wanda pushed forward with both hands.
A dense mass of Chaos Magic instantly erected a shield in front of her.
The energy wave struck the shield, but was ultimately blocked by the Chaos Magic.
Just one move!
Almost the entire Justice League was wiped out!
Aruru stared at the fallen crowd and let out a triumphant laugh.
"See that? This is the power of the universe! Inferior Earth creatures are utterly vulnerable!!"
However, the laughter stopped abruptly before it could subside.
Because it saw that Luca was actually unharmed.
The opponent's force field covered the body surface, isolating the energy waves from the outside.
As his teammates fell one after another, Luca remained as calm as ever.
He glanced at the arrogant Aruru and sneered.
"Are you done chirping, you bug?"
"Since you like playing energy blasting games, I'll play along with you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Luca's eyes flashed with a blinding light.
But this time, the light in his eyes was no longer white or blue.
Because of the Chaos Magic, this time it's a dazzling red and blue dual-color laser!
"Laugh!!!"
Two laser beams shot straight towards Aruru's chest.
Seeing this, Aruru was not to be outdone.
It swiftly opened its gaping maw, filled with fangs, and a blinding purple light shone from deep within its throat.
"Boom!"
A thick beam of energy shot out from its mouth, colliding head-on with the red and blue laser.
Bang!!!
Two completely different energies collided violently!
In an instant, dazzling light illuminated the night sky over Flushing.
The shockwave generated by the energy collision ripped up layers of the surrounding ground, sending rubble and debris into the air.
At first, Aruru was secretly pleased.
My greatest strength is absorbing and assimilating energy.
It planned to take advantage of the energy clash to secretly absorb Luca's energy, thereby strengthening itself.
"Foolish Earthling, your energy will soon become my nourishment!" Aruru thought smugly to himself.
But as the fight went on, Aruru sensed something was wrong!
It discovered that its energy was not only failing to suppress the opponent, but was actually rapidly dissipating!
Aruru's white vertical pupils widened as he looked at Luca in confusion.
Luca had a look of pure enjoyment on his face at that moment.
Aruru's energy was absorbed into his body as soon as it arrived.
And his own aura was steadily rising!
At that moment, he was incredibly happy.
"Holy crap? This guy's energy is something else!"
"Charging me while I'm playing? That's way faster than sunbathing!"
Luca grew more and more spirited as the fight progressed, and the laser beam in his eye became even thicker, directly forcing Aruru's beam of light to retreat steadily.
Aruru was a little dumbfounded.
Even at a time like this, the other side is still treating my energy as a supplement!
"Damn it! What kind of monster is this?!"
Aruru was so angry he almost vomited blood.
"He's actually using a bug to get stronger?! This defies the laws of the universe!"
Aruru knew he couldn't continue like this; if they kept exchanging blows, he would be completely drained.
It decisively shut its mouth, cutting off the energy output.
At the same time, it flapped its wings suddenly, and its body retreated more than ten meters backward, dodging Luca's remaining laser barrage.
Why did it stop?
Luca put away the laser, licking his lips with a hint of lingering satisfaction.
"I'm not full yet, keep going, power bank!"
Aruru was so angry that he trembled all over.
It is at a disadvantage in energy-based clashes, so it has no choice but to engage in hand-to-hand combat.
I'm going to twist your head off!
Aruru roared, swinging his fist and transforming into a black lightning bolt as he charged towards Luca.
"Good timing!"
Luca confidently stepped forward and threw a right punch as well.
Bang!!
Two fists, one large and one small, collided in mid-air.
A visible white shockwave exploded out instantly.
Although Luca's strength had increased significantly, this punch still forced Aruru to retreat repeatedly.
But to his dismay, he discovered that his punch hadn't caused much damage to Aruru.
He noticed that the black substance on the other person's body was somewhat strange.
It is not only incredibly hard, but also has excellent cushioning properties.
When you punch it, it feels like you're punching a non-Newtonian fluid.
The force was quickly dispersed and neutralized, rendering it incapable of causing any damage.
Aruru noticed this too.
So after quickly regaining his balance, he began to mock arrogantly.
"Hahaha! You can't kill me, Earthling!"
Aruru spread his arms, letting Luca's fists pound into his chest.
"I have the strongest defense! Once you're exhausted, I'll suck your brains dry!"
Luca unleashed over a dozen punches in quick succession, sending Aruru flying like a sandbag.
But indeed, he couldn't inflict a fatal wound on his opponent.
"Their skin is quite thick."
Luca shook his slightly numb wrist.
Damn it, this can't go on like this, this guy's skin is ridiculously thick.
Looking around, he saw Wanda protecting herself with a magical shield at the edge.
Suddenly, a possibility came to mind.
" Wanda! Come here!"
So, Luca dodged Aruru's counterattack and shouted at Wanda.
"Get behind me!"
Wanda paused for a moment.
Although I was a little afraid of this monster.
But upon hearing Luca's voice, she gritted her teeth, obediently ran over, and hid behind Luca.
"Infuse my body with Chaos Magic!"
Luca gave the order without turning his head.
"Hurry up, give me an armor penetration buff!"
Wanda didn't hesitate.
She knew this wasn't the time to ask questions, so she immediately put her hand on Luca's back.
Buzz!!!
Unreserved Chaos Magic began to flow into Luca's body.
This time, Luca sensed that the energy within him was no longer simply becoming stronger.
With the added benefit of Chaos Magic's ability to alter reality.
The energy form within the body begins to change!
Just as Luca was fully absorbing Wanda's energy.
The opposing Aruru sensed the threat.
Although it didn't know what the girl in red was doing, it could sense that Luca's aura was undergoing a qualitative leap.
It knew it absolutely could not let Luca finish charging!
Suddenly, Aruru's body twisted in mid-air.
Immediately afterwards, it became invisible on the spot!
"Fuck! This ugly monster can turn invisible?!"
Luca opened his eyes and couldn't help but curse.
Although his superhuman senses immediately detected the danger rapidly approaching.
However, he was currently receiving Wanda's Chaos Magic in its entirety, and was in a brief period of stagnation during energy conversion.
Therefore, it is impossible to immediately make a dodge move.
Aruru appears in Luca's blind spot.
But it didn't use physical attacks because it knew they were ineffective against Luca.
Therefore, it compressed its energy into its right hand, forming a purple, venomous spike.
This is its big move that it's been holding back for a long time.
A cosmic toxin capable of directly destroying nerves and cells by ignoring defenses!
"Go to hell!"
Aruru roared inwardly.
"Pfft!"
A chilling thud.
The poisonous spike struck Luca squarely in the chest!
The spike ignored the force field on Luca's body and pierced directly into his flesh.
"Well..."
Luca let out a muffled groan of pain.
Intense pain instantly spread throughout my body, feeling as if a knife was cutting inside.
The next second, he was blasted away by the immense force!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Luca smashed through more than a dozen walls before being buried deep in a large area of ruins, his fate unknown.
" Luca!"
Wanda tried to rush over in terror, but was knocked to the ground by the aftershocks of the explosion.
Aruru took advantage of the illness to kill him.
It appeared in mid-air, frantically pouring out spheres of energy with both hands.
Boom boom boom boom!
In an instant, dust and debris rose everywhere, and stones flew in all directions.
The expo site resembled a living hell.
An atmosphere of despair enveloped everyone in the Justice League.
Tony gritted his teeth and tried to force the backup power on.
However, the armor's wiring had been corroded and was completely unresponsive.
He could only watch helplessly as Luca was blasted away.
Steve also struggled to get up.
He braced himself on the ground with both hands, his arm veins bulging.
But the deep-seated weakness left him without the strength to even stand up, let alone lift his shield.
"Damn it... get up..." Steve roared in frustration.
Gwen Stacy used her Silk to swing into the ruins immediately.
She dug through the pile of rubble without hesitation.
Finally, she found Luca, covered in blood, deep within the ruins.
At this moment, Luca's eyes were closed, and there was a shocking wound on his chest, with the surrounding skin turned black.
Gwen Stacy's heart was broken.
She scooped up Luca's head and held him tightly in her arms, tears streaming down her face.
" Luca!! Wake up!"
Gwen Stacy cried out, overwhelmed by helplessness and fear.
"Don't scare me! Aren't you Superman? Wake up!"
And on the edge of the ruins.
Wanda sat on the ground, stunned.
Before her lay Luca lying in a pool of blood, and Gwen Stacy, who was holding Luca and weeping bitterly.
In that instant, she recalled memories from this period of time.
She recalled the madness and despair Luca displayed in the illusion, his desire to destroy the world for his family.
She remembered the warmth of Luca's hand, both domineering and tender, as he held hers in the hotel room, making her feel recharged.
She remembered the moment before when Luca had unhesitatingly stood in front of her, allowing her to hide behind him.
He is my only support in this world.
Wanda muttered to herself.
My parents are dead, and my older brother is a troublemaking idiot.
Only Luca, despite his sharp tongue and being a scumbag, gave her a home and an unprecedented sense of security.
And now, this man has fallen in a pool of blood while protecting her.
Wanda's breathing became increasingly rapid.
An unprecedented despair and anger erupted from the depths of his soul.
This anger transcended reason and even the concept of life and death.
Aruru noticed Wanda's unusual behavior.
It sneered, preparing to deal with the troublesome girl as soon as possible.
"Go and keep him company," Aruru said cruelly.
But the next second, Wanda slowly raised her head.
Her eyes were already consumed by a scarlet light!
The whites of his eyes and pupils were no longer visible; only two burning flames of chaos remained.
Wanda looked at Aruru, her voice hoarse yet carrying a terrifying echo.
You... hurt my family!
boom!!!
A terrifying red energy erupted from Wanda's center!
Not only that.
This energy swept across the battlefield as if it were a tangible force.
The surrounding rubble and abandoned armor floated into the air.
Wanda's feet left the ground.
Chaos Magic, like a raging fire, swirled around her.
Her hair danced wildly in the storm of energy, like a demon god descending to earth!
Scarlet Witch.
In this extreme grief and anger, a true awakening has arrived!
