The Avengers were somewhat fatigued from the battle, but not seriously injured. Watching the fight didn't require much physical or mental effort, so it was a form of relaxation for them. After all, they had nothing else to do at the moment.
Under the Avengers' watchful eyes, the combat skills of Johnny Stone and his team became even sharper. It was like playing a game while surrounded by friends who were constantly commenting on your moves. To avoid their ridicule, you had to play better.
Especially now, Johnny Stone and his team were not facing some low-level opponents but a genuine Hell Demon King. When playing a game against low-level opponents, mistakes could be made, and losses were acceptable. But against a Hell Demon King, a single mistake could mean death!
Of course, under the Avengers' scrutiny, it wasn't just Johnny Stone's team that was affected; the giant Demon King also felt the pressure. Initially, Johnny Stone and his team weren't enough to pose a threat to the Demon King. However, the presence of so many Avengers, especially Robert and Kara, instilled a fear of death in the Demon King.
The giant Demon King, like other Hell Demon Kings, firmly believed that their arrival on Earth was part of a human conspiracy. He was even more convinced of this than the other Demon Kings. After all, with so many people attacking him, how could he believe it was just a coincidence?
So, when Tony Stark and others appeared and were noticed by the giant Demon King, he immediately wanted to flee...
Unfortunately, like the previous Demon Kings, the giant Demon King's escape attempt failed. His body crashed heavily into a telekinetic barrier, suffering more damage than Johnny Stone and his team had inflicted over several days of fighting.
"How many Hell Demon Kings have crashed into this barrier now?" Seeing this, Mobius couldn't help but laugh wryly. It was evident that the gap between their strength and Robert's was significant.
The Hell Demon Kings that took them immense effort to defeat could be trapped or even killed by Robert with just a thought. Of the nine Hell Demon Kings that appeared, only Seldar was spared because he encountered the Hellboy, and Robert chose not to intervene, knowing Seldar had a Hell Lord backing him. The giant Demon King was the only one left, but he was also trapped within the telekinetic barrier, and his fate was sealed...
"Boom!" Seeing the giant Demon King injured after crashing into the barrier, Johnny Stone, like Mobius before him, gathered his most powerful explosive flames, aiming at the Demon King.
However, unlike the four-armed Demon King, this giant Demon King was tougher and recovered faster. Johnny Stone was preparing his ultimate move without continuously disrupting the Demon King, unlike Mobius. As Johnny Stone's ultimate move was still charging, the giant Demon King roared in defiance.
"Roar!" Realizing he was surrounded and couldn't escape, the giant Demon King grew even angrier. If he was going to die, he wanted to take an enemy with him to show that killing a Hell Demon King wasn't easy and they weren't easily outwitted.
"Buzz!" Just as the Demon King roared, Susan Stone seized the opportunity to use her power, trapping the giant Demon King and interrupting his attack.
"Roar!" The giant Demon King's roars grew more savage. He couldn't accept being trapped by someone like Susan Stone. Dying at the hands of a stronger opponent like Robert would have been more dignified, but being killed by Johnny Stone and his team was unacceptable.
As the Demon King's roars intensified, Susan Stone felt immense pressure. Blood trickled from her ears, and her face turned pale. She had pushed her abilities to the limit and was about to be overwhelmed by the Demon King.
"Are we really not going to help?" Kara, seeing Susan's injury, felt a pang of guilt and looked at Robert hesitantly.
Though Kara initially had some animosity toward Susan when she first joined Robert, they had become close friends over time. Seeing her friend hurt, Kara couldn't hold back.
"It's just a minor injury. This pressure will help her develop her abilities," Robert said dismissively, not considering it a significant injury.
Hearing Robert's words, everyone except Kara was taken aback. They thought that if it weren't for Kara, Robert might never find a partner due to his behavior. In Robert's eyes, only warriors truly earned his respect, and there were very few people he considered warriors.
The group didn't know about Diana's existence or that Robert was involved with both Kara and Diana. If they knew, their attitudes might change, perhaps feeling even more envious and amazed at Robert's behavior.
As the group remained silent, Kara sighed internally, knowing Robert didn't see Susan's injuries as serious. Even if she herself were injured, Robert wouldn't be too concerned. Kara believed that Robert probably treated his fights with Diana the same way, even getting more excited when either of them bled.
"Ugh!" Just as everyone was lost in thought, Susan Stone finally couldn't hold on. She spat out a mouthful of blood, her spirit collapsing.
"You weak insect! You don't have any strength left, do you? Now it's your time to die!" With Susan's spirit broken, the giant Demon King regained his freedom.
"Crack!" As the Demon King broke free and prepared to attack, a cracking sound was heard. The Demon King fell to one knee, showing pain on his face.
A figure flew out from beside the Demon King, landing heavily on the ground. It was none other than Barry Allen, who had prepared his ultimate move before the Demon King hit the barrier.
Barry knew that with Robert there, the Demon King couldn't escape. Barry had been moving at high speed, building up his attack power. When he reached his limit, he struck the Demon King's leg, breaking it and restricting his movement, giving Johnny Stone a chance to charge his attack.
Barry knew his attack couldn't be lethal to the Demon King. His arm was severely deformed after the punch, but he believed in his choice. He just needed to do his best and trust his teammates.
"Boom!" As Barry lay on the ground, a terrifying explosive flame hit the struggling Demon King, followed by a massive explosion.
Fortunately, the Hell Demon Kings appeared in sparsely populated areas with the help of Jarvis, keeping people away. Otherwise, such battles would attract a lot of attention and cause significant impact.
"Huff! Huff! Huff!" After the flame attack, Johnny Stone, Susan Stone, and Barry Allen panted heavily. They had exhausted their energy and were mentally and physically drained from the long fight.
"Damn! You damn insects..." However, to their surprise, the Demon King's furious voice emerged from the dissipating flames. He walked out of the smoke, his body severely damaged but still functional and ready to fight.
"Do you think you can kill me with this pathetic fire? I've survived countless flames in Hell. Do you think you can kill me?!"
"Boom!" The Demon King leapt towards Johnny Stone, aiming a punch at his head. At the last moment, as Johnny Stone felt the fear of death, a figure appeared beside him, narrowly saving him. The Demon King's punch hit the ground instead.
"Huff! Huff!" Johnny Stone panted again, this time out of fear from narrowly escaping death.
"Can you still fight? I can carry you a bit further, but only for a short distance," Barry Allen's voice came. It was Barry, not Robert, who saved Johnny Stone. Their fight wasn't over until they had no strength left.
"Yes! I have enough for one more move!" Johnny Stone took a deep breath, gathering his remaining energy.
"I can restrict him for one more second. Make it count!" Susan Stone's voice came as well. An invisible force surrounded them, and they vanished.
"Hmm?!" The Demon King looked around but couldn't see them. This wasn't the first time Susan had used invisibility, but this time it was for an attack, not an escape.
"Damn it! Come out!" The Demon King roared, unleashing a powerful shockwave that shattered the ground.
Amidst the chaos, Susan Stone and Barry Allen, holding Johnny Stone, dodged the attacks with incredible speed and agility. They were unaffected by the external chaos, focused only on their target...
