To put it bluntly, in this situation, the two of them are practically setting up a public fight in a different guise.
A showdown that would decide the fate of two races was decided just like that.
Carol flexed her wrists, looking at the seemingly petite Rimuru before her, her heart filled with a mixture of probing and curiosity.
Where can I get it?
"Go to outer space, or would you like to find somewhere else?"
She tacitly agreed that a battle of this level definitely couldn't take place on Earth; if the aftershocks weren't careful, they could rip half the Earth's surface apart.
Rimuru didn't even lift his eyelids, and casually waved his hand.
Instantly, a dense crimson barrier rose over the entire virtual planetary space, like a giant red dome firmly covering the entire battlefield and protecting all the Avengers in an absolutely safe area inside, completely isolating them from the aftershocks of the battle.
After doing all this, Rimuru spoke calmly.
"No need for all that trouble, we can just fight here."
Carol immediately raised an eyebrow, offering a reminder that was both teasing and serious.
"Are you sure? Little girl, you haven't seen the destructive power of my full-force attack."
"If a fight breaks out later, the field will be completely destroyed. Don't come back crying later."
Rimuru scoffed at these words, his confidence evident.
"I'm going to lose?"
"You should think carefully about how you'll face the Skrulls who trust you so completely if you lose."
"Their current state, their erosion of humanity, is partly your and Fury's responsibility. The promise of a safe haven you made back then—you haven't delivered on that promise in 20 years."
After saying this, Rimuru directly corrected the other party's consistent apologies.
"Also, stop calling me 'little girl.' I'm a man."
The moment the words left his mouth.
No preparation or preheating.
An extremely terrifying Demon Lord's Haki suddenly exploded from Rimuru's body!
The entire red barrier trembled instantly, and a terrifying pressure instantly filled the entire area.
Carol's attention was momentarily diverted by the phrase "your and Nick Fury's responsibility," and before she could fully prepare herself, the sudden, terrifying aura pressed down on her, making her legs feel heavy.
Bang!
Even the strongest beings in the universe were forced to kneel on one knee by this sudden, domineering pressure.
But who is Carol?
Top-tier combatants who have fought countless battles and endured countless life-or-death struggles in the universe have developed reaction speed into their very bones.
She paused for only a second before breaking free from the oppressive aura. Her energy surged instantly, and she entered full combat mode, her eyes sharp and fierce.
"Well done, kid. You've been keeping it well hidden."
"Then stop talking nonsense and fight first!"
The next second, golden Cosmic Energy erupted!
Carol immediately activates Binary Mode!
A dazzling golden light enveloped her entire body. With a flash, her extreme speed created a spatial afterimage. She raised her hand and delivered a powerful blow, slamming it heavily into Rimuru.
Boom!
Rimuru was sent flying by the attack, tumbling several times in the air before finally coming to a steady stop.
He had no injuries whatsoever.
But the force of this attack made Rimuru instantly realize the extent of the damage.
"Sure enough, movies are movies, and reality is reality."
"The portrayal in movies and TV shows is too conservative; this woman's raw talent is truly terrifying."
Inside the barrier, the Avengers, safely protected in the zone, watched the whole thing with trepidation.
Seeing the exchange just now, Rimuru seemingly being knocked away, everyone unconsciously tensed up.
This is no ordinary sparring match!
This is a true, decisive battle that stakes the fate of humanity and hundreds of thousands of Skrulls.
The outcome will determine the future of both races.
Even Nick Fury, who had been slacking off and only wanting to slack off and play with his cat, was completely unsettled at this moment.
His lips twitched slightly, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
Who would have thought?
The fate of billions of humans was ultimately so absurdly entrusted to these two inhuman oddities, with their one-on-one duel deciding the outcome.
Tony was the most engrossed in the watch and couldn't help but shout encouragement from afar.
" Rimuru! Hold on!"
"We've all been through thick and thin! Keep it up! Don't let us down!"
Rimuru was speechless as Tony cheered him on.
I felt a little regretful.
If I had known this guy was so good at stirring things up, I would never have taught him that nonsense.
Rimuru quickly shook off his distracting thoughts and completely calmed his mind.
Seeing the Binary Carol unleashing her full power and surging energy, he decided to stop holding back and testing her.
No need.
His body shone with a burst of spiritual light, and layers upon layers of magical runes instantly spread out.
Vishanti Ring-Domain Holy Armor!
Instant molding!
The magnificent, ancient armor, imbued with a rich aura of ancient magic, covered the entire body, its patterns swirling with light, both sacred and domineering.
At this moment, Rimuru's aura reached its full potential, steadily matching Captain Marvel in Binary Mode, without being at a disadvantage in the slightest.
Carol, sitting opposite her, was slightly taken aback, her eyes filled with surprise.
"This armor... this pattern..."
"This style... it's like an ancient magic system from cosmic legends!"
Having conquered the universe for many years and possessing extensive knowledge, she immediately sensed something was amiss.
Rimuru didn't give her any time to think it over.
Since we've started fighting, and since we need to determine the winner, let's just use our ultimate moves to decide the outcome.
Anyway, he doesn't have any tricks up his sleeve to slowly test the waters anymore.
The moment he raised his hand, the world changed color!
Skill [ Thunder Sovereign ]!
It erupted with a roar!
With the blessing of the ancient magical holy armor, endless heavenly lightning converged wildly around Rimuru.
The once bright virtual sky instantly turned gloomy and dark, with dark clouds looming overhead, and the entire barrier space was stirred and violently trembled by the massive energy of the skill.
Sizzle, crackle~
Countless thick, blinding bolts of lightning coiled around him, accompanied by deafening booms.
At this moment, Rimuru's aura was even more like that of a god wielding thunder than that of Thor.
The next second, all the lightning bolts converged on one point, precisely locking onto Carol in mid-air, and crashed down!
boom!!!
An explosive burst of lightning shook the entire arena!
Carol had no time to dodge and took the full damage head-on!
The dazzling golden light and the raging purple lightning collided instantly, unleashing a blinding energy storm.
Just a moment later.
The golden energy in the Binary Mode fluctuated violently and became chaotic and turbulent.
Carol was forcefully knocked down from mid-air and slammed heavily onto the ground!
The enormous impact created a long, massive trench, sending debris and dust billowing into the air.
As the smoke and dust dissipated, the view at the end of the ravine became clearly visible.
His combat uniform was charred and torn, with many parts burst open.
Her beautiful long golden hair was also slightly curled and messy from the scorching lightning.
The once stable and domineering Cosmic Energy around him became erratic and fluctuating, clearly indicating that he had been injured.
Carol, bracing himself against the shattered ground at the bottom of the pit, slowly raised his head, his eyes filled with utter shock.
She has been conquering the universe for many years, fighting powerful enemies, battling Riot, and venturing into all kinds of dangerous battlefields.
Countless battles and clashes, countless head-on confrontations where opponents were crushed.
Never before have I felt so humiliated.
The seemingly harmless, young boy in front of her possessed explosive power that completely overturned her understanding of what was possible.
But this terrifying strength did not make her back down in the slightest.
Instead, it completely stirred up the tenacity and stubbornness ingrained in her bones.
She came to fight for survival, not to surrender and run away.
Regardless of the final outcome, she will give it her all and fight to the very last moment.
Beneath the deep pit, Carol's body slowly glowed with a golden light once more, preparing for another battle.
