Chen Mo's fingers, which were resting on Kingo's shoulder, suddenly tightened, digging fiercely into the flesh.
Dark red veins gushed from his palm, piercing Kingo's skin and seeping into his muscles, quickly wrapping around his spine and heart.
Kingo let out a muffled groan, but did not turn around.
He didn't even raise his hand to grab Chen Mo's wrist. Instead, he pressed all the remaining Cosmic Energy in his body towards his chest. The golden light that was originally flowing towards his ten fingers simultaneously receded, and bright lines intersected and gathered below his chest.
The energy began to expand violently within Kingo. Kingo wrapped his arms around Chen Mo, his skin cracking open from the violent energy, golden light shining through the wounds. Nearby rubble was pushed aside by the energy fluctuations and rolled away in all directions.
Behind the ridge, the warning box in front of Tony instantly turned red.
"The energy reaction is breaking through the critical value."
As soon as JARVIS finished speaking, Tony zoomed in on the battlefield.
"Is he planning to self-destruct?"
"Based on the current energy density, the explosion would be enough to cover the entire wasteland."
Kingo gritted his teeth, the light in his chest still growing stronger.
Even if I self-destruct, it won't kill the monster behind me, but it will force him to spend time defending himself.
Sersi and the others can leave.
Chen Mo lowered his eyes to look at Kingo's chest, and the smile on his face gradually faded.
"He's a real man."
The moment Kingo's lips twitched, the golden mechanical patterns on Chen Mo's body lit up.
"But I hate it when people waste food in front of me."
Dozens of mechanical rings unfolded from the surface of the black and red armor, converging inwards along Kingo's body. The smallest layer was embedded directly into his chest, precisely blocking several circuits that were transmitting Cosmic Energy.
Click!
The golden patterns broke simultaneously.
The energy gathered in the chest, deprived of further replenishment, immediately surged outwards. The mechanical ring spun rapidly, cutting the runaway energy into hundreds of thin streams.
The dark red blood vessels immediately lunged forward.
Each wisp of energy that had just overflowed from Kingo's body was immediately enveloped by the blood threads and dragged back into Chen Mo's palm.
Kingo trembled all over, forcibly urging his remaining energy in an attempt to reconnect the severed circuit. Several strands of blood had already burrowed into his chest cavity, entangled the golden nodes inside.
He has less and less energy to control.
The Blacklight Virus simultaneously began dismantling his body.
Flesh, blood, memories, and Cosmic Energy continuously flowed into Chen Mo's body, and the method of condensing light bullets between his ten fingers was also fully analyzed.
Kingo looked into the distance.
Sersi remained standing there, her face streaked with tears.
"Walk!"
This was the last word he uttered.
The next second, dark red blood vessels flooded his chest.
Sersi wiped away her tears with the back of her hand, turned around and helped Ikaris up. She dared not stop, nor could she turn back.
" Sprite, help me."
She bent down and placed one hand on the ground.
Golden energy spread outwards along the crack, causing large swathes of surrounding rock to rapidly disintegrate, their internal structure being transformed back into light dust that rose into the air.
The night wind swept across the wasteland.
Grayish-white dust immediately covered the three of them.
The Sprite raised its hands, causing the light in the dust to refract. Dozens of figures of Sersi, the Sprite, and Ikaris appeared simultaneously, each rushing in a different direction.
Every figure leaves behind dust and messy footprints on the ground.
The three individuals mingled among them, quickly retreating along a ravine.
Kingo's body had already been mostly devoured.
His arm hung limply at his sides, and the last glimmer of golden light on his chest was sliced open by the mechanical ring and then swallowed by black and red blood vessels.
Seconds later, not a single trace of flesh or blood remained on the spot.
Chen Mo withdrew his hand and stretched his shoulders and neck.
New Cosmic Energy flowed between his ten fingers, and ten tiny points of light lit up one after another. After detaching from his fingertips, they circled his palm once before being reabsorbed.
"Mage, Marksman, Warrior, Assassin, we're still missing a support."
Chen Mo looked at the figures scattering in all directions.
"The lineup is pretty complete, it's just a bit lacking in levels."
Behind the ridge, Tony saw this sentence on the screen and remained silent for a second.
Did he describe a Carnage as a video game team-up?
"Judging from the logic of language, yes, sir."
"I'm starting to miss the days when he only Fury about Fury."
In the center of the battlefield, Chen Mo raised his right foot and stomped down heavily.
boom!
The dust that had accumulated in the surrounding area was thrown into the air by the Shockwave wave.
Arcs of electricity, interwoven with dark red, gold, and black, swept across the ground, instantly covering an area of hundreds of meters. The illusions along the way shattered upon contact with the arcs, starting from beneath their feet.
Dozens of figures vanished simultaneously, leaving the wasteland empty once more.
"These Celestials are really stupid. Are these people even of the same level?"
In the ravine, Sersi helped Ikaris stagger forward. The Sprite looked back and saw that the illusions had all shattered, so she quickly raised her hands, trying to distort the surrounding light again.
Suddenly, an arc of electricity appeared ahead.
All three stopped at the same time.
Arcs of electricity traveled along both sides of the ravine, and a figure covered in black and red armor stood in the middle of the only escape route.
Chen Mo looked down and patted the dust off his shoulders.
"You've made a good choice in your route."
He pointed to Ikaris, whom Sersi was supporting.
"But isn't it a bit disrespectful of you to run in a straight line with a teammate who's low on health?"
Ikaris tried to raise his arm, but he could no longer muster any energy.
Sersi gripped his wrist tightly.
"You have killed Phastos, Makkari, and Kingo."
"Yes, I killed him."
"You deliberately led us here."
"That's true, otherwise, if there were a deaf-mute version of the Flash, where would I be supposed to catch you guys?"
As he spoke, Chen Mo glanced at the distant sky, but still did not see any other golden lights.
"It's a pity your colleagues aren't very sociable. The team-building notice has been out for so long, and only a few enthusiastic participants have shown up."
The Sprite stepped forward, blocking Ikaris.
Her eyes were bloodshot, and overlapping figures reappeared around her. One by one, Ikaris rose from above the ravine, their eyes simultaneously gleaming with golden light.
Chen Mo raised his hand.
Several golden energy orbs spun slowly at his fingertips.
The Sprite's breath hitched.
That's Kingo's ability.
"Take it easy."
Chen Mo closed his five fingers, and the energy blast went out.
I was just trying out the new equipment.
Sersi handed Ikaris to the Sprite and took two steps forward alone. Her hands hung at her sides, and golden energy quietly spread out to her feet.
The rock strata on both sides of the ravine began to change.
If we can seal off this passage, we can then create another underground route...
The arc of electricity at Chen Mo's feet lit up again.
Sersi looked up abruptly.
The figure that was standing in front has disappeared.
The Sprite instinctively turned around, shielding the heavily injured Ikaris behind her. At the same moment, countless illusions surged outwards, attempting to block Chen Mo's possible location.
But the arc of electricity didn't pass through her.
Only a wisp of dark red-gold light remained in the air.
A hand covered in black and red armor passed over the Sprite, its five fingers spread, and pressed against Sersi's forehead.
