Chapter 369
Through their combined efforts, the Lasso of Truth finally bound the tornado tightly.
The tornado's rotation gradually slowed until it eventually stopped.
Seeing this, You-Know-Who's expression shifted slightly; he hadn't expected Hode and Diana to be able to neutralize his attack so easily.
"Damn it!" You-Know-Who roared.
He quickly formed hand seals, and the surrounding black smoke began to condense into countless black spears, whistling towards the group.
The spears moved with extreme speed, like black lightning, making them impossible to guard against.
Seeing this, a gleam of excitement flashed in Elektra's eyes.
Her figure flickered, moving flexibly among the spears like a phantom.
The dagger in her hand glinted with a cold light, continuously shattering the incoming spears.
Selene waved her hands, and purple magic shields appeared in front of the group, blocking the spear attacks.
Superman dove down from the sky, his fist carrying immense power as he struck at You-Know-Who.
You-Know-Who dodged to the side, evading Superman's attack, then kicked Superman in the back, sending him flying.
Iron Man continuously fired missiles from the air; they exploded around You-Know-Who, but a layer of black shield radiating from You-Know-Who's body completely deflected the missile attacks.
Hode watched as his partners' repeated attacks were easily neutralized by You-Know-Who, feeling very anxious.
He knew that he had to find You-Know-Who's weakness to defeat him.
He struggled to focus his mind, attempting to establish a deeper emotional connection with Diana, Elektra, and Selene, feeling their inner thoughts and power.
In the exchange of glances with Diana, Hode seemed to see her dedication to justice and trust in her partners; when meeting Elektra's eyes, he felt the wildness and unruliness within her, as well as her craving for battle; upon meeting Selene's gaze, he perceived a mysterious and profound power, as if it held endless secrets.
Suddenly, Hode felt the intimacy between him and them reach a new height, and a powerful force surged within him.
His body was surrounded by flickering colorful light; these lights converged, forming a huge Energy Vortex.
"This is..." Diana looked at Hode in surprise; she could feel that the power radiating from Hode was much stronger than before.
Hode took a deep breath and said loudly, "Let's release all our power together and break through his defense!"
Diana, Elektra, and Selene all nodded; they felt the powerful conviction in Hode and also released the power within themselves.
Superman, Iron Man, and the members of the Avengersalso felt this powerful force; they gathered around and stood with Hode and the others.
The group stood closely together, light flickering around their bodies as energy continuously converged.
You-Know-Who looked at the group, a trace of panic flashing in his eyes, but he quickly returned to his indifferent expression.
"Do you think you can break my defense just like that?" You-Know-Who sneered.
He waved his hands, and the surrounding black smoke became even denser, and his shield became even more solid.
"Now!" Hode shouted, and everyone released the energy in their hands simultaneously.
A huge beam of energy rushed towards You-Know-Who's shield; wherever the beam passed, the air was ignited, emitting a dazzling light.
You-Know-Who's shield began to tremble violently under the impact of the energy beam, making "crack, crack" sounds.
You-Know-Who's expression became very ugly; he increased the energy output to the shield, attempting to block the group's attack.
However, the combined power of the group was too strong, and You-Know-Who's shield finally couldn't hold up, with cracks appearing one after another.
The cracks grew larger and larger, and finally, with a "boom," the shield shattered.
The energy beam continued to rush towards You-Know-Who.
You-Know-Who hurriedly dodged to the side, but the beam still grazed his arm, leaving a deep wound on it.
"Ah!" You-Know-Who let out a scream; he hadn't expected the group to be able to break his shield so easily.
He looked at the group angrily, his eyes filled with hatred.
"You ants, how dare you hurt me! I will make you pay a painful price!" You-Know-Who roared.
He quickly formed hand seals, and the surrounding black smoke began to surge wildly, forming a huge Black Monster.
The Black Monster had a huge figure, and its whole body radiated an evil aura.
Its eyes flickered with red light, like burning fire.
The monster opened its bloody mouth, let out a deafening roar, and pounced towards the group.
Hode's heart tightened; he knew this was You-Know-Who's final resort and also his most powerful attack.
He quickly exchanged glances with his partners, and everyone prepared for battle.
Diana held the Lasso of Truth, rushing towards the monster like a golden bolt of lightning.
The lasso in her hand whistled as she swung it, continuously striking the monster.
The monster, feeling pain, let out a roar and extended its huge claws, grabbing at Diana.
Diana flexibly dodged the monster's attacks while searching for its weakness.
Elektra shuttled around the monster like a phantom, her dagger continuously stabbing at the monster's joints.
Although the monster's body was hard, wounds appeared under Elektra's attacks.
Selene quickly formed hand seals, and the surrounding magic elements began to gather frantically.
Purple magic rays shot out from her hands towards the monster.
The monster was hit by the magic rays, its body swaying a few times.
Superman dove down from the sky, his fist carrying powerful force as he struck at the monster's head.
The monster dodged to the side, evading Superman's attack, then kicked Superman, sending him flying.
Iron Man continuously fired missiles from the air; they exploded around the monster, but the monster seemed to have some immunity to the missile attacks, only sustaining some minor scratches.
Hode watched his partners fighting the monster fiercely, feeling very anxious.
He knew he must find the monster's weakness as soon as possible to end this battle.
He struggled to concentrate, attempting to find flaws in the monster's attacks.
Suddenly, Hode discovered that when the monster attacked, a brief gap would appear at its chest.
His heart stirred, and he immediately shouted to Diana, "Diana, distract the monster; I've found its weakness!"
Diana nodded, increasing the intensity of her attacks on the monster, drawing all of its attention to herself.
Hode took the opportunity to rush towards the monster's chest; colorful light flickered around his body, like a burning fireball.
Just as Hode was about to approach the monster's chest, the monster seemed to sense danger; it suddenly extended a huge claw, grabbing at Hode.
Hode was startled and hurriedly dodged to the side, but the claw was too fast, still grazing his shoulder and leaving a bloody scratch on it.
Hode gritted his teeth, ignoring the pain in his shoulder, and continued to rush towards the monster's chest.
Finally, he arrived in front of the monster's chest; he pushed his hands forward, releasing a powerful force of energy, blasting it at the monster's chest.
The energy hit the monster's chest, emitting a loud noise.
The monster's body trembled violently, letting out a painful roar.
A huge wound appeared on its chest, and black smoke continuously poured out from it.
Seeing this, You-Know-Who's face turned very pale.
He knew his plan had failed.
He waved his hands, and the surrounding black smoke began to dissipate, and his body also gradually became transparent.
"Just you wait, I won't let you off!" You-Know-Who left a harsh threat and then disappeared into the air.
The monster also dissipated along with him, leaving only a devastated battlefield.
The group looked in the direction where You-Know-Whohad disappeared, all breathing a sigh of relief.
Although this battle was very difficult, they had ultimately achieved victory.
Hode looked at the partners beside him, his heart filled with gratitude.
He knew that in this battle, it was everyone's unity and trust that allowed them to defeat the powerful enemy.
Diana walked to Hode's side and gently hugged him.
"Hode, you did very well," Diana said softly.
Hode felt Diana's warm embrace, his heart filled with happiness.
Elektra also walked over, patted Hode on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Kid, I didn't expect you to be quite capable."
Hode looked at Elektra's bright smile, and a wave of joy also surged in his heart.
Selene walked in front of Hode, a hint of tenderness revealed in her eyes.
"Hode, we succeeded," Selene said softly.
Hode nodded; he knew that this victory didn't just belong to them, but to everyone who fought for justice.
Just then, Superman, Iron Man, and the members of the Avengers also gathered around, offering their congratulations to Hode and the others.
The crowd cheered and jumped for joy, celebrating this hard-won victory.
However, Hode felt a faint sense of unease in his heart.
He knew that although You-Know-Who had disappeared, his threat hadn't been completely eliminated.
In the future, they would still face more challenges and dangers.
But at this moment, he didn't want to think about these things; he just wanted to fully enjoy the joy of this victory and face future challenges together with the partners by his side.
Chapter 588: Shouldn't we consider going on a date now?
Hode was surrounded by the cheers of his partners, and the faint unease in his heart was quickly diluted by the joy of the moment.
Diana held his arm tightly, the delicate touch making his heartbeat quicken slightly.
He turned his head to look at Diana, his eyes full of tenderness.
"Diana, it's so good to have you by my side."
A blush rose on Diana's cheeks, and she softly replied, "Hode, we will walk the future path together."
Elektra watched from the side, a mischievous smile curling the corners of her mouth.
She leaned in towards Hode and deliberately bumped him with her shoulder: "Hey, Hode, don't just focus on being lovey-dovey with Diana; there might be even more exciting adventures ahead."
Hode looked at Elektra with a smile; the wildness and unruliness radiating from her gave her a unique charm, making his heart stir.
"Elektra, with you here, the battle will definitely be more interesting."
Selene stood quietly to the side, magic light flickering in her hands.
She looked at Hode, a hint of indescribable affection in her eyes.
Hode noticed her gaze, and a unique warmth surged in his heart.
He walked to Selene's side and said softly, "Selene, your magic power is indispensable to us."
Selene nodded slightly, "705u.com-53 Reading Club," and replied softly, "I will always be by your side, Hode."
Just as everyone was immersed in the joy of victory, suddenly, a low rumbling sound came from the sky.
Everyone looked up to see a huge alien spaceship slowly descending not far away.
The spaceship's hatch opened, and a group of strange-looking Alien Creatures walked out.
Their bodies radiated an eerie aura, and they held bizarre-looking weapons in their hands.
Hode's heart tightened; he knew a new challenge had arrived.
He quickly looked at his partners beside him and said loudly, "Partners, prepare for battle!"
Diana stood in front of Hode without hesitation, the Lasso of Truth flickering with golden light in her hand, and she said firmly, "Hode, we won't back down."
Elektra licked her lips, her eyes flashing with excitement, her dagger already gripped tight: "Come on, let's see what these Alien Creatures are capable of."
Selene quickly formed hand seals, and the surrounding magic elements began to gather, forming layers of purple barriers.
Superman was the first to rush towards the Alien Creatures, his fist carrying powerful force as he punched one of the Alien Creatures, sending it flying.
Iron Man continuously fired missiles from the air; they exploded among the group of Alien Creatures, kicking up clouds of smoke.
Hode also released the energy within him, colorful light radiating from his body.
He pushed his hands forward, and a wave of energy rushed towards the Alien Creatures.
However, these Alien Creatures seemed even more powerful than imagined.
The weapons in their hands fired strange rays, which possessed powerful destructive force, blocking the attacks from Superman, Iron Man, and the others.
One of the Alien Creatures suddenly rushed towards Hode; its speed was extremely fast, and before Hode could react, he was knocked to the ground by it.
Seeing this, Diana immediately rushed over, swinging the Lasso of Truth.
She flung the lasso towards that Alien Creature, attempting to bind it.
But the Alien Creature was very agile; it easily dodged Diana's attack, then extended a huge claw, grabbing at Diana.
Hode felt anxious; he quickly climbed up from the ground, released the energy within him, and formed an Energy Shield, blocking it in front of Diana.
"Diana, watch out!" Hode shouted.
Diana looked at Hode's firm back, and a warm current surged in her heart.
Taking advantage of the gap while the Alien Creature attacked the Energy Shield, she moved behind it and tightly bound it with the Lasso of Truth.
The Alien Creature struggled, letting out bursts of roars.
Elektra took the opportunity to rush over, the dagger in her hand flashing with cold light, continuously stabbing at the Alien Creature's body.
But the Alien Creature's skin was very hard, and Elektra's attacks only left shallow wounds on its body.
Selene waved her hands, and purple magic rays shot towards the Alien Creature.
The magic rays hit the Alien Creature, causing its body to sway a few times.
Just as the group was fighting the Alien Creatures fiercely, Hode suddenly felt that the intimacy between him and Diana had increased a bit more.
A new power surged within him, and even stronger light began to flicker around his body.
His heart stirred, and he immediately injected this power into the Energy Shield; the Energy Shield became even more solid, blocking all of the Alien Creature's attacks.
"Partners, let's concentrate our power together and attack its weakness!" Hode shouted loudly.
Everyone nodded, gathered their respective powers together, and rushed towards the Alien Creature's weakness.
Superman dove down from the sky, his fist carrying powerful force as he blasted at the Alien Creature's chest.
Iron Man fired a huge missile from the air; it exploded beside the Alien Creature, creating a powerful shockwave.
The Lasso of Truth in Diana's hand flickered with golden light; she pulled hard, dragging the Alien Creature towards herself, then kicked it in the abdomen.
Elektra took the opportunity to stab at the Alien Creature's eye from the side; the dagger pierced the Alien Creature's eye, making it let out a painful scream.
Selene quickly formed hand seals, and purple magic rays enveloped the Alien Creature, restricting its movements.
Under the combined attack of the group, the Alien Creature finally couldn't hold on and fell to the ground.
Seeing their companion fall, the other Alien Creatures let out angry roars, and they attacked the group even more crazily.
Hode understood in his heart that this battle had only just begun, and they must be even more careful.
In the midst of the battle, the intimacy between Hode and Elektra was also increasing unknowingly.
He felt a wild power being transmitted from Elektra, merging with his own strength.
The light around his body became even hotter, and he pushed his hands forward, sending a massive wave of Fire energy rushing toward the Alien Creatures.
Wherever the wave of Fire energy passed, the Alien Creatures were burned to ashes.
Watching the powerful energy radiating from Hode, a flash of pleasant surprise crossed Elektra's eyes.
She smiled at Hode and said, "Hode, this power of yours is getting stronger and stronger. It seems that dating me has helped you improve quite a bit..."
Hode smiled and replied, "Elektra, your power has also been a great help to me."
As the battle continued, the intimacy between Hode and Selene reached a new height.
He felt a mysterious and profound power coming from Selene; this power made his mind clearer, allowing him to perceive the attacks of the Alien Creatures faster.
Selene looked at Hode and said softly, "Hode, together, let's use magic and power to break through their defense line."
Hode nodded. He and Selene clasped hands, and their combined powers converged to form a huge pillar of magicenergy.
The pillar of magic energy rushed toward the defense line of the Alien Creatures, blowing a huge hole in it.
Superman, Iron Man, and the others took the opportunity to charge in and engage the Alien Creatures in close-quarters combat.
However, the number of Alien Creatures kept increasing; they seemed to be pouring out of the spaceship endlessly.
Hode felt a bit anxious; he knew that if this continued, they would sooner or later run out of stamina.
Just then, he suddenly felt that the intimacy between him and Diana, Elektra, and Selene had reached an unprecedented height.
A powerful force erupted within him, and colorful light began to shimmer around his body.
"Partners, let's release all our power together and end this battle!" Hode shouted.
Diana, Elektra, and Selene nodded one after another; they felt the strong conviction radiating from Hode.
Everyone stood close together, pooling their respective powers to form a massive beam of energy.
The energy beam rushed toward the core area of the Alien Creatures, and wherever the beam passed, the Alien Creatures were wiped out.
Under the impact of the energy beam, the alien spaceship began to shake violently and finally exploded with a "boom."
Seeing the spaceship explode, the Alien Creatures let out desperate roars and began to flee in all directions.
Watching the fleeing Alien Creatures, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Hode looked at his partners beside him, his heart filled with gratitude.
He knew that in this battle, it was everyone's unity and trust that allowed them to defeat the powerful enemy.
Diana walked up to Hode, gently took his hand, and said, "Hode, we succeeded."
Feeling the warmth of Diana's palm, Hode's heart was filled with happiness.
Elektra teased from the side with a smile, "Hode, shouldn't you consider going on a date with me next?"
Hode smiled and looked at Elektra; just as he was about to speak, suddenly, a strange light appeared in the sky again.
After the light dissipated, a mysterious figure appeared before everyone.
The figure radiated a powerful aura that made people shudder.
The mysterious figure spoke slowly, voice deep and cold, "Do you think it's over just because you defeated these Alien Creatures? The real crisis has just begun..."
Hode's heart tightened; looking at the mysterious figure, a sense of unease welled up in him.
He knew that a new challenge had arrived, and this time, they would face even greater danger...
Chapter 589: You Were Amazing Just Now
Hode stared intently at the mysterious figure, his body slightly tense, his hands unconsciously clenched into fists.
He could feel that the oppressive force radiating from this being before him was countless times stronger than that of the previous Alien Creatures.
The partners beside him also became alert; Supermanstepped forward, shielding everyone behind him, and Iron Man's Repulsor Ray began to flicker with light, ready to fire at any moment.
Diana gently squeezed Hode's hand and said softly, "Hode, don't be afraid, we will face it together."
Hode turned to look at Diana, seeing determination and trust in her eyes, and the unease in his heart lessened slightly.
He took a deep breath and said, "Yeah, we won't back down."
Elektra licked her lips, an excited expression on her face, the dagger in her hand flashing with a cold light in the sunlight: "Hmph, whatever he is, let me have a go at him first."
As she spoke, she was about to rush forward. Hode quickly grabbed her and said, "Elektra, don't be impulsive, let's see the situation first."
Selene quickly formed hand seals, and the surrounding magic elements began to stir; she said in a low voice, "This person is dangerous, we must be careful."
The mysterious figure let out a low laugh that seemed to come from all directions, making one's hair stand on end: "Just you? A bunch of ants want to stop me? Today, this World will be completely destroyed."
As soon as the words fell, the mysterious figure suddenly vanished from the spot, and in the next second, he appeared in front of Superman.
He extended a hand and waved it gently; Superman was struck as if by an invisible force, flying backward and slamming heavily onto the ground.
"Superman!" everyone exclaimed. Seeing this, Iron Manimmediately fired several missiles toward the mysterious figure.
The mysterious figure just lifted a hand slightly, and the missiles exploded in mid-air, turning into balls of Fire.
Hode's heart tightened; he knew they couldn't just sit and wait for death. He looked at his partners beside him and shouted, "Partners, let's attack together!" After saying that, he charged out first.
In the process of running, Hode felt that the intimacy between him and Diana had increased again.
A warm and powerful force was transmitted from Dianaand merged into his body. Golden light began to shimmer around his body, and his speed became faster.
He arrived in front of the mysterious figure in an instant and threw a punch. The mysterious figure dodged it easily and then kicked at Hode.
Hode quickly dodged to the side, but he was still kicked in the shoulder, and a sharp pain flared up.
Seeing this, Diana immediately rushed over, brandishing the Lasso of Truth. She swung the lasso toward the mysterious figure, attempting to bind him.
The mysterious figure sneered and reached out to grab the Lasso of Truth. The Lasso of Truth flickered in his hand a few times and unexpectedly began to lose its light.
"Is that all you've got?" the mysterious figure mocked.
Diana was shocked; she hadn't expected her Lasso of Truth to be ineffective against this mysterious figure. But she didn't back down; instead, she rushed up again and engaged the mysterious figure in close-quarters combat.
Elektra also took the opportunity to rush in from the side, the dagger in her hand striking at the mysterious figure like lightning.
The mysterious figure dodged nimbly, counterattacking from time to time. Soon, some wounds appeared on Elektra's body, but she didn't care in the least; instead, she fought even more bravely as the battle went on.
Hode felt the intimacy between himself and Elektra also constantly increasing, and a wild, explosive power was transmitted from Elektra. Raging Fire began to burn around his body, and his power became even stronger.
He rushed toward the mysterious figure again; this time, his attack was even more ferocious. The mysterious figure seemed to sense Hode's change and began to take it seriously. He waved his hands, and a black energy wave rushed toward Hode.
Hode quickly released the energy within him, forming a Fire Shield to block the attack of the black energy wave. But the power of the black energy wave was very strong, and the Fire Shield began to show cracks.
Just then, Selene took action. She quickly formed hand seals, and streaks of purple magic rays shot toward the mysterious figure. The mysterious figure had to divide his attention to block Selene's attacks, and Hode took the opportunity to increase the energy output of the Fire Shield, finally blocking the attack of the black energy wave.
"Selene, well done!" Hode shouted.
Selene nodded slightly and said, "Together, we cannot let him succeed."
Under the combined attacks of everyone, the mysterious figure finally revealed a flaw. Hode seized the opportunity, and along with Diana, Elektra, and Selene, exerted force simultaneously, pooling their respective powers to form a huge beam of energy that shot toward the mysterious figure.
The mysterious figure's expression changed; he hadn't expected everyone to be able to erupt with such powerful strength. He quickly crossed his hands in front of him, forming a black shield, attempting to block the attack of the energy beam.
The energy beam collided with the black shield, emitting a dazzling light and a huge roar. The black shield began to crack, and the cracks grew larger and larger. The mysterious figure gritted his teeth, desperately maintaining the shield.
Superman also climbed up from the ground at this moment. Seeing this scene, he immediately flew into the air and then rushed toward the mysterious figure at an extremely fast speed. His fist, carrying powerful force, slammed into the black shield.
Under the combined attacks of everyone, the black shield finally couldn't hold on and shattered. The energy beam struck the mysterious figure directly, sending him flying.
Everyone was overjoyed, thinking they had finally defeated the mysterious figure. But unexpectedly, the mysterious figure soon climbed up from the ground; although there were some wounds on his body, he had not suffered fatal injuries.
"Hmph, do you think you can defeat me like this? Too naive," the mysterious figure said coldly.
After saying this, eerie light began to flicker around his body, and an even more powerful aura radiated out. He waved his hands, and the surrounding space began to distort; black cracks appeared before everyone.
"Oh no, he's about to launch a more powerful attack!" Selene exclaimed.
Hode's heart sank; he knew this battle was far from over. He looked at his partners beside him and said, "Partners, we cannot give up, we must persist!"
Just then, Hode felt that the intimacy between him and Diana, Elektra, and Selene had reached a new height. An unprecedentedly powerful force erupted within him, and colorful light began to shimmer around his body, the light growing stronger and stronger, enveloping his entire being.
Seeing this scene, the mysterious figure revealed a look of surprise: "What... is this power?"
Hode ignored him; he closed his eyes, feeling that powerful force within him. He felt as if he had merged with the entire World, able to perceive everything around him.
When he opened his eyes again, his gaze was filled with determination and confidence. He pushed his hands forward, and a huge, colorful energy wave rushed toward the mysterious figure.
The mysterious figure quickly formed hand seals, attempting to block the attack of this energy wave. But the power of the colorful energy wave was too great; his defense was vulnerable before the energy wave. The energy wave instantly engulfed him, emitting a deafening roar.
The light gradually dissipated, and the mysterious figure appeared before everyone. At this moment, his body was covered with wounds, and his aura had become very weak.
"You... impossible..." the mysterious figure said with difficulty.
Hode walked forward, looked at him coldly, and said, "You lost, this World will not be destroyed by you."
The mysterious figure let out a roar of unwillingness, and then his body began to dissipate gradually. Just as he was about to disappear completely, he suddenly revealed an eerie smile: "Don't think this is the end... the real crisis is still to come..."
After saying this, he disappeared completely into the air.
Looking at the place where the mysterious figure had disappeared, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. But Hodedid not lower his guard; he knew that what the mysterious figure said at the end was definitely not alarmist talk.
"Everyone, rest for a moment and recover your stamina. I'm worried that even more powerful enemies will appear later," Hode said.
The partners nodded one after another and then began to adjust their states. Diana walked to Hode's side, leaned on his shoulder, and said softly, "Hode, you were amazing just now."
Hode gently stroked her hair and said, "This is all thanks to everyone; we could only defeat him together."
Elektra smiled and said from the side, "Hode, when this crisis is over, you must accompany me on a proper date."
Hode smiled and looked at her, saying, "Okay, when things are over, I will definitely accompany you."
Selene also walked over; she looked at Hode with a hint of tenderness in her eyes: "Hode, no matter what we encounter next, I will always be by your side."
Hode's heart warmed; he looked at his partners beside him and said, "With you all here, I'm not afraid of anything."
However, just when everyone had just relaxed, a huge crack suddenly appeared in the sky again. The crack radiated a terrifying aura, as if something terrible was about to crawl out from inside.
Hode's heart tightened; he clenched his fists tightly and said, "It seems the real crisis has truly arrived..."
Chapter 590: If You Dare to Cause Trouble, I'll Blast You to Bits
Hode's gaze instantly became sharp; he quickly scanned his partners beside him, a firm determination welling up in his heart. Diana felt the change in his emotions, gently took his hand, and gave him silent support.
"Everyone, get ready; the aura emanating from this crack is even more dangerous than that previous mysterious figure," Hode said in a deep voice. His voice was steady and powerful, causing the originally somewhat panicked hearts of his partners to settle down slightly.
Iron Man flew into the air first, his Repulsor Ray flickering with dazzling light, ready to deal with the enemy appearing from the crack at any moment. "No matter what it is, if it dares to cause trouble, I'll blast it to bits," Iron Manshouted loudly, his tone filled with confidence.
Superman also flew to Iron Man's side; his whole body radiated a powerful aura, his eyes fixed tightly on that crack. "We absolutely cannot let this World be threatened in any way," Superman said firmly.
Elektra licked her lips, the dagger in her hand flashing with a cold light in the sunlight; she said excitedly, "Hmph, it's just the right time to stretch my muscles and see what kind of tough guy it is this time."
Selene quickly formed hand seals, and the surrounding magic elements began to surge wildly; she said in a low voice, "This time the enemy is not simple, everyone must be careful."
Chapter 370
Hode turned to look at Diana, their gazes meeting, and in each other's eyes, they saw trust and love. He felt the intimacy between him and Diana increase once again, and a warm, powerful force flowed from Diana into his body. Soft golden light began to shimmer around his body, making him feel incredibly secure and powerful.
"Diana, let's face this together," Hode said softly.
Diana nodded slightly and said, "Mm, no matter what happens, we are together."
Just then, a giant claw suddenly reached out from the crack. It was pitch black, covered in sharp barbs, and emitted a nauseating aura. Immediately after, a huge figure slowly crawled out from the crack.
It was a terrifying monster, its body seemingly pieced together from various rotting flesh and bones, exuding a thick stench. Its eyes flashed with eerie red light, and its mouth was filled with sharp teeth, constantly emitting low roars.
"What the hell is this?!" Iron Man exclaimed.
"Whatever it is, we must destroy it," Superman said, rushing toward the monster first. He raised his fist and smashed it hard against the monster's body. The monster seemed to sense Superman's attack, extending a claw to block his fist. Superman felt a huge force, and his body involuntarily took a few steps back.
"Such strong power!" Superman was shocked.
Seeing this, Iron Man immediately fired several missiles at the monster. The missiles exploded on the monster, splashing black liquid, but it didn't seem to suffer much damage. It just roared angrily and charged at Iron Man.
Hode's heart tightened; he knew he couldn't let his companions face this monster alone. He looked at Diana, Elektra, and Selene beside him and shouted, "Companions, let's attack together!"
After saying this, he charged out first. While running, he felt the intimacy between him and Elektra continuously increasing, and a wild, explosive power flowed from Elektra into him. Blazing Fire began to burn around his body, and his power became even stronger.
He instantly reached the front of the monster and threw a punch. This punch carried powerful Fire, smashing hard against the monster's body. The monster let out a painful roar, its body scorched black by the Fire.
Diana also rushed over, wielding the Lasso of Truth, and threw it at the monster, trying to bind it. The monster tried to dodge, but the Lasso of Truth was extremely fast and immediately wrapped around one of the monster's legs. The monster struggled hard, but the Lasso of Truthtightened more and more.
Elektra took the opportunity to rush in from the side; her daggers were like lightning, repeatedly stabbing at the monster's body. Wounds quickly appeared on the monster, and black blood flowed out continuously.
Selene quickly formed hand seals, and purple magic rays shot toward the monster. Hit by these rays, the monster's body began to twist and deform strangely.
However, the monster was not so easily destroyed. It suddenly let out a roar, and the power on its body erupted instantly. The Lasso of Truth was snapped by force, and Diana was pushed back a few steps by this power. Elektrawas also kicked away by the monster, falling heavily to the ground. Selene's magic rays were also reflected by the monster's power, and she quickly cast an Energy Shield to defend.
Hode felt anxious; he felt the intimacy between him and Selene rapidly increasing, and a mysterious, powerful magic force flowed from Selene into him. Colorful light began to shimmer around his body, his thinking became more agile, and he could clearly perceive every movement of the monster.
He seized the opportunity, flashed behind the monster, and then clasped his hands together, smashing them hard against the monster's back. This blow contained all the power in his body, and the monster was hit, lunging forward and falling to the ground.
Superman took the opportunity to fly into the air, his hands gathering powerful energy to form a huge energy ball. He threw the energy ball at the monster, and it exploded on the monster's body, emitting a dazzling light and a huge roaring sound.
Hit by this powerful energy, the monster's body began to tremble violently. But it did not fall; it struggled to crawl up from the ground, and the wounds on its body began to heal at a visible speed.
"This guy actually has self-healing abilities!" Iron Manexclaimed.
Hode's heart sank; he knew this wasn't the way. He looked at his companions and said, "Companions, we can't fight it head-on; we need to find its weakness."
Everyone nodded and began to carefully observe the monster's movements. Just then, Hode noticed that the monster's eyes flashed with a special light every time it attacked. His heart moved—could the monster's weakness be its eyes?
"Everyone, focus on its eyes!" Hode shouted.
Hearing Hode, everyone immediately adjusted their attack direction. Superman rushed toward the monster's eyes first, raising his fist to smash hard at the monster's left eye. The monster seemed to sense Superman's intention and quickly closed its eyes, using its eyelids to block Superman's attack.
Seeing this, Iron Man fired a small missile at the monster's right eye. The monster quickly turned its head to dodge, but the missile still grazed its eyelid, leaving a wound on its face.
Taking advantage of the monster's distraction, Hodedashed in front of it. He gathered powerful Fire in his hands and then stabbed hard at the monster's eyes. The monster felt a dangerous aura approaching and wanted to dodge, but it was too late. Hode's hands stabbed into the monster's eyes, and it let out a shrill scream, its body beginning to twist wildly.
Diana, Elektra, and Selene also took the opportunity to attack. They pooled their power together, forming a powerful energy beam that shot toward the monster's wound. The energy beam directly penetrated the monster's body, and it finally couldn't hold on, falling heavily to the ground, no longer moving.
Looking at the monster lying on the ground, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. But just then, the crack in the sky suddenly began to expand, and an even more terrifying aura emanated from it.
Hode's heart tightened; he clenched his fists and said, "It seems the real crisis has just begun..."
Chapter 591: Oh no, this giant beast wants to perish together!
Hode looked at the continuously expanding crack, his brows tightly furrowed, and alarm bells rang in his heart. He could feel that the aura coming from the crack was several times more terrifying than that of the monster just now. He turned to look at his companions; Diana's eyes were full of determination, Elektra looked eager to try, Selene was still quickly forming hand seals with magicelements swirling around her, and Iron Man and Supermanwere also ready for battle again.
"This time, it's probably an unprecedented crisis," Hodesaid in a deep voice, his tone heavy.
Diana gently held his hand and said softly, "Hode, don't be afraid, we will face it together." Hode felt the warmth from Diana's hand, and a force surged in his heart. He looked at Diana, his eyes full of trust and love. Just then, he felt the intimacy between him and Diana increase once again, and a sacred, powerful force flowed from Diana into him. Dazzling golden holy light began to shimmer around his body, making him feel as if he possessed endless power.
"With you here, I am not afraid," Hode replied softly.
Just then, a low roar came from the crack, as if a demon from hell was howling. Immediately after, a huge, scaled claw reached out from the crack. This claw was several times larger than the previous monster's, and it shimmered with eerie purple light.
"Everyone, be careful!" Superman shouted, flying into the air first, his whole body radiating dazzling blue light, ready to meet the incoming enemy.
Iron Man also immediately activated all weapon systems; his Repulsor Ray and shoulder missile launchers flashed with cold light. "Whatever it is, I'll blast it if it comes!" Iron Man shouted loudly.
Elektra licked her lips, her daggers flashing with sharper cold light in the sunlight, and she said excitedly, "Hmph, looks like we can have a good time this time."
Selene quickly changed her hand seals, and the surrounding magic elements began to gather frantically. She whispered, "This enemy is probably not something we can easily deal with."
As that huge claw slowly extended, a massive and terrifying figure crawled out from the crack. It was a giant beast like a mountain, its body composed of various twisted metal and flesh, exuding a nauseating stench of decay. Its head had several eyes, each flashing with blood-red light, and its mouth was full of huge fangs, constantly dripping black liquid.
"Th... what kind of monster is this!" Iron Man exclaimed.
"Whatever it is, we must destroy it!" Superman said, rushing toward the giant beast. He raised his fist and smashed it hard against the giant beast's body. However, the giant beast seemed to sense Superman's attack, extending a huge claw to block his fist. Superman felt a force like a mountain collapsing, and his body was pushed back by this power, drawing a long arc in the air.
"Such powerful strength!" Superman was shocked; he didn't expect the strength of this giant beast to be so terrifying.
Seeing this, Iron Man immediately fired several missiles at the giant beast. The missiles exploded on the giant beast, splashing black smoke, but it didn't seem to suffer much damage. It just roared angrily and charged at Iron Man. As its body ran, the ground shook violently.
Hode's heart tightened; he knew he couldn't let his companions face this giant beast alone. He looked at Diana, Elektra, and Selene beside him and shouted, "Companions, let's attack together!"
After saying this, he charged out first. While running, he felt the intimacy between him and Elektra continuously increasing, and a wild, explosive power flowed from Elektra into him. More intense Fire began to burn around his body, the color of the flame becoming more vivid, as if it were the infernal fire from hell. His power became unprecedentedly strong; he felt as if he could tear the sky apart.
He instantly reached the front of the giant beast and threw a punch. This punch carried powerful Fire, smashing hard against the giant beast's body. The giant beast let out a painful roar, its body scorched black by the Fire, and a huge wound appeared on it.
Diana also rushed over, wielding the Lasso of Truth, and threw it at the giant beast, trying to bind it. The giant beast tried to dodge, but the Lasso of Truth was extremely fast and immediately wrapped around one of the giant beast's legs. The giant beast struggled hard, but the Lasso of Truth tightened more and more, even digging into its flesh.
Elektra took the opportunity to rush in from the side; her daggers were like lightning, repeatedly stabbing at the giant beast's body. Deep wounds quickly appeared on the giant beast, and black blood flowed out continuously, forming small pools on the ground.
Selene quickly formed hand seals, and purple magic rays shot toward the giant beast. Hit by these rays, strange runes began to appear on the giant beast's body. These runes flashed with eerie light, seemingly eroding its power.
However, the giant beast was not so easily destroyed. It suddenly let out a roar, and the power on its body erupted instantly. The Lasso of Truth was snapped by force, and Diana was pushed back a few steps by this power, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of her mouth. Elektra was also kicked away by the giant beast, falling heavily to the ground, with multiple wounds on her body. Selene's magicrays were also reflected by the giant beast's power, and she quickly cast a magic shield to defend, but the shield still cracked.
Hode felt anxious; he felt the intimacy between him and Selene rapidly increasing, and a mysterious, powerful magic force flowed from Selene into him. Colorful light began to shimmer around his body, his thinking became more agile, and he could clearly perceive every movement and flow of power of the giant beast.
He seized the opportunity, flashed behind the giant beast, and then gathered powerful Fire and magic in his hands, forming a huge energy ball. He threw the energy ball at the giant beast's back. This blow contained all the power in his body, and the giant beast was hit, lunging forward and falling to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Superman took the opportunity to fly into the air, his hands gathering powerful energy to form a huge energy blade. He slashed the energy blade hard at the giant beast's head. The giant beast seemed to sense danger; it quickly raised its head, using a huge claw to block the energy blade. The energy blade collided with the giant beast's claw, emitting a harsh friction sound and dazzling light.
Iron Man also flew above the giant beast, activated all his thrusters, and dove toward the giant beast's body. The Repulsor Ray in his hands continuously fired powerful energy beams, shooting at the giant beast's wounds. The giant beast was in agony from these continuous attacks; it roared continuously, and its body began to tremble.
Hode looked at the giant beast, and a thought suddenly arose in his heart. He felt that the intimacy between him and Diana seemed to have improved again, and a sacred healing power flowed from Diana into him. He realized that perhaps he could use this power to weaken the giant beast's recovery ability while attacking it.
"Diana, pass your healing power to me; I want to attack it in a special way!" Hode shouted.
Diana nodded, concentrating her mind and continuously passing the healing power within her to Hode. Feeling this power, Hode's hands began to shimmer with soft White light. He fused Fire, magic, and healing power together, forming a brand-new energy.
He charged toward the giant beast again, and the moment he approached it, he pressed the energy in his hands hard into the giant beast's wound. The giant beast let out a shrill scream; it felt a powerful force eroding its body, not only preventing the wound from healing but also causing its power to drain continuously.
Seeing Hode's attack was effective, the partners increased their offensive intensity. Superman continuously attacked the giant beast's head with energy light blades, Iron Manattacked other parts of the beast's body with missiles and Repulsor Ray, and Elektra and Selene also kept attacking from the side, disrupting the beast's movements.
Under everyone's combined attacks, the beast's body began to show signs of collapse. Its body trembled constantly, wounds multiplied on it, and black blood flowed out. However, just as everyone thought the beast was about to be destroyed, it suddenly let out a desperate roar, and its body began to emit a powerful Dark Energy.
This Dark Energy spread rapidly, enveloping Hode and the others. Hode felt a powerful pressure bearing down, and his body began to feel heavy. The partners were also affected by this Dark Energy, and their movements became sluggish.
"Oh no, this beast is trying to take us down with it!" Superman shouted.
Hode's heart tightened; he knew he had to find a way to stop the beast immediately. He focused his mind, feeling the power transmitted through the intimacy he shared with the various female superheroes within him. He felt the connection between himself, Diana, Elektra, and Selenebecome tighter, and an unprecedented powerful force surged within him.
He took a deep breath and released all this power. A huge Energy Shield appeared around his body, enveloping the partners and resisting the erosion of the Dark Energy. At the same time, he condensed an even more powerful energy in his hands, preparing to deliver the final blow to the beast.
Just then, the crack in the sky suddenly erupted with dazzling light, and an even more terrifying aura emanated from the crack...
Chapter 592: A Pair of Huge, Metallic-Lustrous Hands Suddenly Reach Out from the Crack
Hode's pupils shrank; the light pierced his eyes like a physical object, but he dared not close them for even a second. A strong sense of unease surged in his heart; the aura emanating from the crack was several times more terrifying than the beast before him, as if it were the ultimate malice from the abyss of the Universe.
"What… what on Earth is this thing!" Iron Man's voice sounded in Hode's ear, carrying a hint of undisguised terror. His originally confident face had turned pale, and the War Armor on his body flickered with unstable light; clearly, this suddenly appearing power made him feel immense pressure too.
Superman hovered in mid-air, fists clenched tightly, the blue light on his body becoming more dazzling. He said in a deep voice: "No matter what it is, we cannot retreat. Earthis our home; we must never let it be destroyed!" His voice was firm and powerful, yet Hode could detect a hint of tension in his slightly trembling body.
Diana held Hode's hand tightly. Her palms were a bit damp, but her eyes revealed incomparable firmness: "Hode, let's face it together, just like the countless times before." Hode felt the warmth and strength transmitted from her hand, and his heart calmed down a little. He looked at Diana, his eyes full of love and trust: "With you here, I am not afraid."
Elektra licked her lips, the dagger in her hand gleaming with cold light under the radiance. She said excitedly: "Hmph, whatever monster or demon it is, I'll kill one if it comes!" Her eyes were full of the desire to fight, as if she were looking forward to the impending danger.
Selene quickly formed hand seals, and the surrounding magic elements began to condense crazily. She whispered: "I'm afraid this enemy exceeds our imagination; everyone must be careful." Her voice carried a hint of gravity; clearly, she was not optimistic about the current situation.
As the light gradually dissipated, a huge figure slowly emerged from the crack. It was a monster like a giant octopus, its body composed of countless twisted tentacles, each covered with sharp barbs, flashing with eerie light. Its head was a huge, blood-vessel-covered eyeball, inside which various colors of light flickered constantly, as if telling of endless evil.
"What… what kind of monster is this!" Iron Man exclaimed again, his voice carrying a hint of despair.
The giant octopus monster let out a sharp cry, a sound that seemed to pierce one's soul, causing immense pain. Immediately after, it stretched out several tentacles, sweeping towards Hode and the others. The speed of the tentacles was extremely fast, leaving black afterimages in the air.
Superman flew out first, swinging his fist to smash hard at a tentacle. However, the tentacle was exceptionally flexible, dodging Superman's attack with a slight twist, then counter-attacking with a whip, striking Supermanhard. Superman only felt a huge force coming; his body was knocked backward by this force, carving a long arc in the air.
Seeing this, Iron Man immediately fired several missiles at the tentacles. The missiles exploded on the tentacles, splashing up clouds of black smoke, but the tentacles didn't seem to suffer much damage; they just trembled slightly and continued to attack the group.
Hode's heart tightened; he knew he couldn't let his partners face this monster alone anymore. He looked at Diana, Elektra, and Selene beside him and shouted: "Partners, let's attack together!"
After speaking, he rushed out first. During the run, he felt the intimacy between him and Diana improve again, and a sacred and powerful healing force was transmitted from Diana. Soft white light began to flicker around his body, making him feel as if he possessed an indestructible shield.
He arrived instantly in front of a tentacle and threw a punch. This punch, carrying powerful healing force, smashed hard onto the tentacle. The tentacle let out a painful scream, the barbs on it fell off one after another, and its originally flexible movements became sluggish.
Diana also rushed over, wielding the Lasso of Truth. She swung the lasso toward another tentacle, trying to bind it. The Lasso of Truth, like a nimble snake, quickly wrapped around the tentacle. The tentacle struggled hard, but the Lasso of Truth tightened more and more, even cutting into its flesh.
Elektra took the opportunity to rush over from the side; the dagger in her hand was like lightning, continuously stabbing at the tentacle. The dagger carved deep wounds on the tentacle, and black liquid flowed out continuously.
Selene quickly formed hand seals, and purple magic rays shot toward the tentacle. After the magic rays hit the tentacle, some strange runes began to appear on it. These runes flickered with eerie light, seemingly eroding the power of the tentacle.
However, the giant octopus monster was not that easy to eliminate. It suddenly roared, and the tentacles on its body began to dance crazily. For a time, the entire space was occupied by tentacles, and everyone fell into a huge crisis.
A tentacle whipped hard towards Hode. Hode couldn't dodge in time and had to endure this blow head-on. He only felt a huge force coming; his body was shaken backward by this force, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
"Hode!" Diana exclaimed. She rushed to Hode's side to help him up. Hode looked at Diana, a trace of firmness flashing in his eyes: "I'm fine, let's continue to fight!"
Just then, a tentacle suddenly wrapped around Diana's body, lifting her high. Diana struggled hard, but the tentacle tightened more and more. Hode's heart was anxious; he felt the intimacy between himself and Elektrarapidly increasing, and a wild, explosive power was transmitted from Elektra.
His body began to ignite with even more violent flames, the color of the flames becoming more vivid, as if they were karmic fire from hell. He instantly rushed in front of the tentacle that had wrapped around Diana and threw a punch. This punch, carrying powerful fire force, smashed hard onto the tentacle. The tentacle was scorched black by the flames, let out a painful scream, and then released Diana.
After Diana landed, she immediately fought side by side with Hode. The two of them cooperated and continuously attacked the surrounding tentacles. Superman, Iron Man, Elektra, and Selene were also fighting hard on their respective battlefields.
However, the giant octopus monster's power seemed endless; its tentacles regenerated constantly, and everyone gradually felt a bit overwhelmed.
"This isn't working; we must find its weakness!" Supermanshouted.
Hode fought while observing the giant octopus monster. He discovered that whenever the monster attacked, the eyeball on its head would flash with brighter light. His heart stirred, guessing that this eyeball might be the monster's weakness.
[0 --- Seeking Flowers ---]
"Everyone cover me, I'm going to attack its eyeball!" Hodeshouted loudly.
After hearing his words, the partners increased their attack intensity, creating a breakthrough for him. Taking this opportunity, Hode flashed towards the monster's head.
The moment he approached the monster's head, he felt the intimacy between himself and Selene seem to have a new improvement, and a mysterious and powerful magic force was transmitted from Selene. Colorful light began to flicker around his body; his thinking became more agile, and he could clearly perceive every movement and flow of power of the monster.
He seized the opportunity and condensed powerful fire, magic, and healing forces in his hands, forming a huge energy ball. He smashed the energy ball hard at the monster's eyeball. This blow contained all the power in his body; the energy ball collided with the eyeball, emitting a deafening explosion.
[... 0]
The giant octopus monster let out a shrill scream, and its body began to tremble violently. The tentacles also stopped dancing, as if they had lost all power.
Seeing this scene, everyone increased their attack intensity. Superman continuously attacked the monster's body with energy light blades, Iron Man attacked the monster's wounds with missiles and Repulsor Ray, and Elektra and Selene also kept attacking from the side.
Under the combined attacks of everyone, the giant octopus monster's body began to show signs of collapse. Its body trembled constantly, wounds multiplied on it, and black liquid flowed out continuously.
However, just when everyone thought the monster was about to be destroyed, it suddenly let out a desperate roar, and its body began to emit a powerful Dark Energy. This Dark Energy spread rapidly, enveloping Hode and the others.
Hode felt a powerful pressure bearing down, and his body began to feel heavy. The partners were also affected by this Dark Energy, and their movements became sluggish.
"Oh no, this monster is trying to take us down with it!" Superman shouted.
Hode's heart tightened; he knew he had to find a way to stop the monster immediately. He focused his mind, feeling the power transmitted through the intimacy he shared with the various female superheroes within him. He felt the connection between himself, Diana, Elektra, and Selenebecome tighter, and an unprecedented powerful force surged within him.
Just then, a mysterious voice sounded in Hode's mind: "Hode, you possess infinite possibilities; use the love and courage in your heart to overcome all of this!" Hode was shocked; he didn't know where this voice came from, but he felt a strong encouragement.
He took a deep breath and released all this power. A huge Energy Shield appeared around his body, enveloping the partners and resisting the erosion of the Dark Energy. At the same time, he condensed an even more powerful energy in his hands, preparing to deliver the final blow to the monster.
But just then, a pair of huge, metallic-lustrous hands suddenly reached out from the crack... Justice.
Chapter 593: Formulating a Detailed Battle Plan
That pair of huge metal hands appeared without warning, as if they were terrifying envoys from another dimension. Hode's pupils contracted sharply, his heart beating wildly in his chest, and a sense of foreboding drowned him like a tide.
"What the hell is this thing again!" Iron Man's voice was full of despair and anger. His War Armor was flickering with an increasingly unstable frequency under the erosion of the Dark Energy, as if it would go out at any moment.
Superman hovered in mid-air, the blue light on his body appearing dim under the shroud of the Dark Energy. He clenched his fists tightly, his eyes revealing unprecedented gravity: "Hode, the situation is not good; this monster seems to be summoning a more powerful existence."
Diana leaned closely against Hode, her hand gripping Hode's arm tightly, her voice carrying a hint of trembling: "Hode, what should we do?" Hode could feel the slight trembling coming from her body, and a strong protective desire surged in his heart. He looked at Diana, his eyes full of firmness: "Don't be afraid, Diana, we will face it together. Just like the countless times before, we will definitely be able to get through this difficulty."
Elektra licked her lips, the dagger in her hand gleaming with cold light in the darkness. Her eyes (from 705u.com-53 Reading Club) were full of crazy fighting desire: "Hmph, whatever it is, I'll kill one if it comes! I want to see how powerful this monster can be." Her body crouched slightly, making a posture ready to attack at any time.
Selene quickly formed hand seals, and the surrounding magic elements became chaotic under the interference of the Dark Energy, but she still struggled to condense magicpower: "This time the enemy exceeds our imagination; everyone must be careful, do not scatter." Her voice, though weak, was full of power.
That pair of huge metal hands slowly reached out from the crack, and immediately after, a huge mechanical body squeezed out from the crack. This mechanical monster was huge in stature, its whole body emitting a cold metallic luster, and its body was covered with various complex weapon systems, the gun barrels flashing with cold light, as if they would erupt with fire that would destroy everything at any moment.
"This… this is simply a nightmare!" Iron Man's voice carried a hint of sobbing; he looked at the mechanical monster in front of him, his heart full of powerlessness.
The mechanical monster let out a low roar, its body began to move rapidly, and it rushed towards Hode and the others. Its speed was extremely fast, and every step it took on the ground made a deafening sound, as if it wanted to crush the entire World.
Superman flew out first, swinging his fist to smash hard against the Mechanical Monster's body.
However, the Mechanical Monster's body was exceptionally hard; Superman's fist only produced a dull sound upon impact, and the Mechanical Monster did not move at all.
"Damn, this thing is too hard!" Superman roared. He flipped his body in the air and then charged at the Mechanical Monster again.
Seeing this, Iron Man immediately fired several missiles at the Mechanical Monster.
The missiles exploded on the Mechanical Monster, splashing sparks everywhere, but the Mechanical Monster seemed to suffer little damage; its body just swayed slightly before continuing to attack the group.
Hode felt a tightness in his chest; he knew he could not let his partners face this monster alone.
He looked at Diana, Elektra, and Selene beside him and shouted, "Friends, let's attack together! We cannot retreat; Earth needs us!"
After speaking, he charged out first.
As he ran, he felt his intimacy with Diana rising again, and a warm, powerful holy power transferred from Diana to him.
A soft golden light began to flicker around his body, making him feel as if he possessed the power to purify all evil.
He reached the front of the Mechanical Monster in an instant and threw a punch.
This punch, carrying powerful holy power, smashed heavily against the Mechanical Monster's body.
The Mechanical Monster's body shuddered slightly, and tiny cracks appeared on its metal shell.
Diana also charged over, wielding the Lasso of Truth, attempting to trip it by throwing the lasso at the Mechanical Monster's legs.
The Lasso of Truth, like a nimble snake, quickly coiled around the Mechanical Monster's legs.
The Mechanical Monster struggled violently, but the Lasso of Truth tightened, even digging into its metal flesh.
Elektra took the opportunity to charge from the side, her daggers moving like lightning as she continuously stabbed at the Mechanical Monster's joints.
The daggers carved deep wounds into the Mechanical Monster's joints, and black liquid (perhaps some kind of lubricant) flowed out continuously.
Selene quickly formed hand seals, and beams of blue magic shot toward the Mechanical Monster.
After the magic beams hit the Mechanical Monster, its electronic systems began to malfunction, and its body started to tremble uncontrollably.
However, the Mechanical Monster was not so easily destroyed.
It suddenly let out a roar, and the weapon systems on its body began to fire wildly.
Laser beams and missiles shot toward Hode and the others, and the entire space was engulfed in fire and the sounds of explosions.
Hode was startled and quickly shouted, "Everyone, be careful!" before quickly casting a holy shield to cover himself and his partners.
The laser beams and missiles hit the shield, producing dull thuds, but the shield did not break.
"This is not a solution; we must find its core and destroy its power system!" Superman shouted.
While fighting, Hode observed the Mechanical Monster.
He discovered a core device glowing with Red light on the Mechanical Monster's chest.
His heart stirred, guessing that this core might be the monster's weakness.
"Everyone, cover me; I'm going to attack its core!" Hodeshouted loudly.
Hearing his words, his partners increased the intensity of their attacks, creating a breakthrough for him.
Taking this opportunity, Hode flashed toward the Mechanical Monster's chest.
As he approached the Mechanical Monster's chest, he felt his intimacy with Elektra rapidly increasing, and a wild, explosive power transferred from Elektra to him.
Blazing fire began to burn around his body, and the color of the flames became more intense, as if they could burn everything.
Seizing the moment, he condensed powerful flame power with both hands to form a giant flame fist.
He smashed the flame fist hard against the Mechanical Monster's core.
This strike contained all the power within his body, and the flame fist collided with the core, emitting a deafening explosion.
The Mechanical Monster let out a shrill scream, and its body began to tremble violently.
A huge gap appeared in the core area, and black smoke continuously poured out from it.
Seeing this scene, everyone increased the intensity of their attacks.
Superman continuously attacked the Mechanical Monster's body with energy blades, Iron Man attacked other parts of the Mechanical Monster with missiles and energy beams, and Elektra and Selene also continued their attacks from the side.
Under the joint efforts of everyone, the Mechanical Monster's body began to show signs of collapse.
Its body trembled constantly, and parts fell off one after another.
However, just as everyone thought the monster was about to be destroyed, those huge metal hands suddenly reached out again and grabbed the Mechanical Monster.
Immediately after, a low and cold voice came from the rift: "Do you think you can stop me this way? This is just the beginning; Earth will inevitably be destroyed by my hands!"
As the voice faded, the rift began to close slowly, and those huge metal hands and the Mechanical Monster gradually disappeared into the rift.
Hode and the others looked at the place where the rift had disappeared, filled with shock and confusion.
They did not know where this mysterious voice came from, nor did they know what dangers they would face next.
"What... what is going on?" Iron Man muttered to himself, his eyes filled with confusion.
Superman hovered in mid-air, his brows locked: "Regardless, we cannot let our guard down. This enemy is much stronger than we imagined; we must be better prepared."
Diana walked to Hode's side and said softly, "Hode, what should we do next?"
Hode looked at Diana, a glimmer of determination flashing in his eyes: "We cannot sit and wait for death; we must take the initiative, find the enemy's lair, and destroy it completely."
Elektra waved the dagger in her hand and said excitedly, "That's right, whatever enemy it is, I'll kill one if one comes! I can't wait to fight it again."
Selene crossed her arms over her chest, pondered for a moment, and said, "However, before that, we need to understand the enemy's background. We can start by collecting some information about this rift and the enemy, and formulate a detailed battle plan."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
They knew the next battle would be even more difficult, but they also believed that as long as they were united, they would definitely be able to overcome all difficulties and protect Earth well.
Thus, Hode and the others began to take action.
They searched everywhere for clues, contacted other members of the Avengers and the Justice League, and discussed countermeasures together.
And that mysterious rift seemed like a huge shadow hidden in the darkness, constantly threatening the safety of Earth, waiting for them to uncover its true face...
Chapter 594: I'll Go Attack Its Core!
Hode and the others acted quickly, knowing time was tight, as the enemy hidden behind that mysterious rift could launch an attack again at any moment.
Hode walked side by side with Diana; he could feel Diana's hand gripping his tightly, and that warm and firm power filled his heart with courage.
"Hode, I think we can go ask the Wonder Woman Amazon Tribe Elders first; they might know some legends about this kind of mysterious rift and powerful enemy," Dianasaid softly, her eyes revealing a glimmer of thought.
Hode nodded and said, "That's a good idea. The Amazon Tribe has a long history; they might really be able to provide us with some useful clues."
They soon found the Wonder Woman Amazon TribeElders.
The Elders sat in a circle, listening to the descriptions of Hode and the others with grave expressions.
An elderly Elder slowly stood up, her voice low and powerful: "Children, judging from your description, this is very likely related to some evil powers sealed in ancient times. Legend has it that some powerful mechanical life forms were sealed in another dimension by a great hero, but as time passed, the power of the seal gradually weakened, and they seem to show signs of breaking free from the seal."
Hode's heart stirred, and he quickly asked, "Elder, do you know how to completely destroy these evil powers? Also, how should we find their place of sealing?"
The Elder pondered for a moment and said, "To completely destroy them, you must find the core of the seal; that is the source of their power. As for the place of sealing, it is said to be hidden in a mysterious corner of the World, full of various dangers and puzzles. However, a great prophet once left some clues that might help you find it."
As she spoke, the Elder took an ancient piece of parchment from her bosom, on which some strange symbols and maps were drawn.
Hode took the parchment and examined it carefully, his heart filled with anticipation.
After leaving the Amazon Tribe, Hode and the others began to study the clues on the parchment.
At this moment, Black Widow Natasha walked over, wearing a tight black combat suit, her eyes revealing sharpness and wit.
"Hode, I think we can ask Doctor Strange for help; he has profound attainments in magic and mysticism, and he might be able to interpret the clues on this parchment," Natasha said.
Hode's eyes lit up, and he said, "You're right, Natasha. Doctor Strange must have a way."
They soon arrived at Doctor Strange's sanctuary.
Doctor Strange was sitting at an ancient table, holding a magic book in his hand.
Seeing Hode and the others enter, he raised his head slightly, a glimmer of surprise flashing in his eyes.
"Hode, why are you here? Is something the matter?" Doctor Strange asked.
Hode handed the sequence of events and the parchment to Doctor Strange.
Doctor Strange took the parchment and studied it carefully.
His fingers slid gently over the parchment, and he muttered incantations.
After a while, a smile appeared on his face.
"I understand; the clues on this parchment point to a mysterious ruin hidden deep in the Himalayas. That is very likely the place where the evil power is sealed. However, going there is not easy; it is full of various magic traps and powerful Guardians," Doctor Strange said.
Hode said firmly, "No matter how difficult it is, we must go. For the safety of Earth, we cannot retreat."
Just as they were preparing to set off, Scarlet Witch Wanda walked over.
Her eyes carried a trace of worry as she said, "Hode, let me go with you too. My Chaos Magic might be able to help at a critical moment."
A wave of emotion surged in Hode's heart; he looked at Wanda and said, "Thank you, Wanda. With you here, we are even more confident."
Thus, Hode, Diana, Natasha, Wanda, as well as Superman, Iron Man, and others formed a powerful team and headed deep into the Himalayas.
Along the way, they encountered various bad weather and dangerous terrain, but none of them retreated.
When they finally reached the entrance of the mysterious ruin, a powerful magical force rushed toward them.
The gate of the ruin was tightly closed, covered with various mysterious runes.
"It seems we need to solve the puzzle of these runes to enter," Doctor Strange said.
Everyone began to observe the runes carefully, trying to find a way to solve the puzzle.
At this moment, Hode felt his intimacy with Wanda quietly increasing.
A mysterious and powerful Chaos Magic power transferred from Wanda, and revelations about the runes suddenly flashed in his mind.
"I think I know how to solve these runes," Hode said.
He followed the revelations in his mind and touched and moved the runes gently.
With his actions, the runes began to flicker with light, and the gate opened slowly.
Everyone walked into the ruin cautiously.
The interior of the ruin was filled with a gloomy atmosphere, and strange light flickered on the walls.
Suddenly, a group of Mechanical Guards swarmed out from all directions, their bodies flickering with cold light, and the weapons in their hands aimed at Hode and the others.
"Everyone, be careful!" Superman shouted, charging out first to engage in a fierce battle with the Mechanical Guards.
Iron Man also immediately fired missiles at the Mechanical Guards.
Hode fought side by side with Wanda; he felt the power between himself and Wanda constantly merging.
They waved their hands, and beams of powerful magic and holy power intertwined, driving back the Mechanical Guards one after another.
Natasha and Diana looked for the way forward in the surrounding area, cleverly avoiding the attacks of the Mechanical Guards and pointing the direction for everyone.
In the fierce battle, Hode and the others gradually penetrated deep into the interior of the ruin.
They arrived at a huge hall, in the center of which was a huge energy core, emitting intense light.
"This should be the core of the seal," Doctor Strange said.
However, just as they were preparing to approach the energy core, a huge mechanical BOSS drilled out from the ground.
Its body was even larger than the previous Mechanical Monster, and its body was covered with various powerful weapon systems.
"It seems this is the final test," Hode said, his eyes revealing firm determination.
The mechanical BOSS let out a roar, and its body began to move rapidly, charging toward Hode and the others.
Its weapon systems began to fire wildly, and laser beams and missiles shot toward everyone.
Superman flew out again, swinging his fist to smash hard against the mechanical BOSS's body.
But the mechanical BOSS's body was exceptionally hard; Superman's fist only produced a dull sound, and the mechanical BOSS did not move at all.
Iron Man fired several missiles, and the missiles exploded on the Mechanical Guard, but the Mechanical Guard did not seem to suffer much damage.
Hode's heart tightened; he knew he could not continue attacking blindly like this. He looked at his companions beside him and said loudly, "Everyone, spread out and find its weak point!"
Everyone scattered and attacked the Mechanical Guardfrom different directions. Hode felt his intimacy with Dianaincrease again, and a warm and powerful holy energy was transmitted from Diana. Soft golden light began to flicker around his body. He threw a punch, which carried powerful holy energy and slammed hard into the Mechanical Guard.
The Mechanical Guard's body shuddered slightly, but it quickly recovered. Its body suddenly split into several smaller mechanical units, launching an even more violent attack on the group.
Natasha nimbly wove between the mechanical units, her daggers constantly stabbing at their critical parts. Wandacast Chaos Magic, trapping some of the mechanical units in magic cages.
In the heat of the battle, Hode suddenly noticed a tiny gap in the core of the Mechanical Guard. His heart stirred, guessing that this might be its weak point.
"Everyone, cover me! I'm going to attack its core!" Hodeshouted.
Upon hearing his words, the companions increased the intensity of their attacks, creating a breakthrough for him. Seizing this opportunity, Hode dashed toward the core of the Mechanical Guard.
At the moment he approached the core, he felt his intimacy with Elektra rapidly increasing, and a wild, explosive power was transmitted from Elektra. Raging fire began to ignite around his body, and the color of the flames became even more intense.
Seeing his chance, he gathered powerful flame energy in his hands, forming a giant flaming fist. He smashed the flaming fist hard toward the core of the Mechanical Guard. This strike contained all the power within him; the flaming fist collided with the core, emitting a deafening explosion.
The Mechanical Guard let out a shrill scream, and its body began to tremble violently. A huge gap appeared in the core area, and black smoke continuously poured out from the gap.
Seeing this, everyone increased their attack intensity. Under their combined efforts, the body of the Mechanical Guard finally collapsed, turning into a pile of scrap metal.
However, just when they thought the danger had been resolved, the ruins suddenly began to shake violently. A powerful Dark Power surged out from the energy core, forming a huge vortex...
Chapter 595: Release Your Own Power to Purify It
Hode's heart tightened; this Dark Power was far more powerful than any threat they had encountered before. He could feel the surrounding air becoming thick and heavy, as if an invisible giant hand was squeezing their bodies.
"Everyone, be careful! This power is not right!" Doctor Strange shouted. The magic book in his hand opened automatically, and golden runes flew out from the book, surrounding everyone and attempting to resist the erosion of the Dark Power.
Diana held Hode's hand tightly, her eyes revealing firmness and determination: "Hode, no matter what happens, I will be with you." Hode looked at her, and a warm current surged in his heart. He felt his intimacy with Diana increase again, and a majestic holy power was transmitted from Diana, merging into his body. He felt as if he had been injected with a shot of adrenaline, and power surged continuously within him.
"We cannot sit and wait for death; we must find a way to stop this power!" Hode said loudly, his eyes flashing with a firm light. He began to think of countermeasures in his mind, and suddenly, he thought of the powerful effect produced by the fusion of their powers when he fought side-by-side with Wanda before.
"Wanda, let's try again. Let's fuse our powers and see if we can resist this Dark Power!" Hode looked at Wanda and said.
Wanda nodded, her eyes revealing trust: "Okay, Hode, I believe in you." The two quickly approached each other and clasped hands. A mysterious and powerful Chaos Magicand holy power intertwined and fused between them, forming a brand-new, even more powerful force. This force, like brilliant stars, illuminated the entire dark ruin.
They blasted this fused power toward the Dark Powervortex. The two forces collided, emitting a deafening roar. The Dark Power vortex was temporarily blocked by this powerful force, but it did not dissipate; instead, it began to spin wildly, seemingly accumulating even greater power.
"This is not a solution. This Dark Power seems to be constantly absorbing the surrounding energy, becoming stronger and stronger," Iron Man said. The indicator lights on his War Armor were flashing frantically, indicating that the War Armor's energy was being rapidly consumed.
"We must find the source of the Dark Power and solve it from the root," Superman said. A layer of faint blue light surrounded his body, which was a sign that he was exerting his super strength to the fullest.
Just as everyone was thinking of countermeasures, Hodesuddenly felt a subtle change in his intimacy with Black Widow Natasha. A sharp and witty power was transmitted from Natasha, making his previously somewhat chaotic thoughts become clear.
"Natasha, do you have any ideas?" Hode looked at Natashaand asked.
Natasha frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said: "I think the appearance of this Dark Power is related to the previous mysterious crack; perhaps the sealing core is the key. We previously thought the sealing core was the source of evil power, but now it seems it might also be the key to stopping the Dark Power."
Hode's eyes lit up; he felt that what Natasha said made a lot of sense: "You are right, we must re-examine this sealing core."
Everyone cast their gaze back to the energy core in the center of the hall. At this moment, the light emitted by the energy core became more eerie, sometimes bright, sometimes dim, as if it were telling some unknown secret.
"Doctor Strange, can you see what is wrong with this core?" Hode asked.
Doctor Strange nodded. The magic book in his hand flipped again, and beams of light shot out from the book, enveloping the energy core. He carefully observed the changes in the core, and after a while, he said: "This core seems to have been eroded by an evil magic power, and the original sealing power has been distorted, which led to the outbreak of the Dark Power. We need to purify this evil power and restore the sealing power of the core."
"Then what should we do?" Natasha asked urgently.
Doctor Strange pondered for a moment and said: "It requires gathering the power of all of us, and at the same time, someone needs to go deep into the core to directly confront that evil power. But this process is very dangerous; once it fails, one might be swallowed by the evil power."
Everyone looked at each other, understanding the difficulty of this task. Just then, Hode stood up: "I will go. I am confident that I can complete this task."
"Hode, this is too dangerous!" Diana said worriedly, holding Hode's hand tightly.
Hode looked at her and smiled gently: "Diana, I know it's dangerous, but for everyone, for the safety of Earth, I must go. Besides, I believe that with you supporting me from the outside, I will definitely succeed."
Tears shimmered in Diana's eyes, but she knew that once Hode made a decision, it was hard to change. She took a deep breath and said: "Okay, Hode, I believe in you. I will provide support for you from the outside."
Others also expressed that they would fully support Hode. Doctor Strange began to set up the purification ritual; he asked everyone to surround the energy core and each release their power, forming a huge Energy Shield that enveloped the core.
Hode took a deep breath and slowly walked toward the energy core. When he approached the core, a powerful suction force came, as if it wanted to suck him in completely. He tried hard to stabilize his figure, concentrated his spirit, and felt the fusion of various powers within his body.
Just at the moment he was about to enter the core, he suddenly felt his intimacy with Alicia, a young warrior of the Amazon Tribe, rise to a new height. A power full of wildness and courage was transmitted from Alicia, filling his body with strength.
He resolutely stepped into the energy core. The interior of the core was a chaotic World, and the Dark Power surged toward him like a raging tide. Hode quickly released the various fused powers within his body and engaged in a fierce confrontation with the Dark Power.
The Dark Power was unpredictable, sometimes turning into huge Beasts, sometimes turning into sharp blades, constantly attacking Hode. Hode dodged left and right, while constantly searching for the source of the Dark Power.
In the heat of the battle, Hode discovered that the source of the Dark Power seemed to be hidden in the deepest part of the core, where there was a huge black sphere constantly emitting an evil aura.
"That's it!" Hode's heart rejoiced. He sped up and rushed toward the black sphere. However, the closer he got to the black sphere, the more violent the attacks of the Dark Power became. Hode felt his body was about to collapse, but he had only one belief in his heart: he must succeed.
Just as he was about to approach the black sphere, a huge black lightning bolt struck toward him. Hode had no time to dodge and could only bite the bullet and take the hit. The moment the lightning struck him, he felt as if his body was being torn apart, and severe pain spread throughout his body.
But he did not give up. He gritted his teeth and, relying on his tenacious willpower, continued to advance toward the black sphere. Finally, he arrived in front of the black sphere. He reached out his hand, wanting to touch the sphere—a thought of the "705u.com-53 Reading Club" crossing his mind—and release his power to purify it.
However, the black sphere seemed to have sensed his intention and suddenly erupted with a powerful repelling force, knocking Hode flying. Hode fell heavily to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"Is this how I fail?" Hode's heart was filled with unwillingness. Just then, he felt a change in his intimacy with Iris, the girlfriend of the Justice League hero, FlashBarry. A power as swift and vibrant as lightning was transmitted from Iris, instantly filling his body with strength.
Hode stood up, his eyes flashing with a firm light. He rushed toward the black sphere again; this time, his speed was faster than before, and his power was stronger. He released all the fused power within his body, forming a huge ball of light energy, and smashed it hard toward the black sphere.
The ball of light energy collided with the black sphere, emitting a dazzling light. The Dark Power and the light power engaged in their final contest, and the entire core interior was plunged into violent tremors...
Chapter 596: Repairing the Sealing Core, Contributing One's Own Power
The light gradually dissipated, and Red felt his power surging wildly. The energy, which had fused the traits of many heroes, was rampaging within him, yet it miraculously reached a certain balance. Under this violent strike, cracks appeared on the surface of the black sphere, and the evil aura roared out from the cracks like a wounded Beast.
"It's not enough!" Red gritted his teeth, shouting in his heart. He could feel that this black sphere was still resisting tenaciously; as long as a trace of evil power remained, this darkness would make a comeback.
At this time, everyone outside the core also felt the intensity of the battle on Red's side. Doctor Strangefrowned, the light of the magic book in his hand flickering more and more violently. He kept chanting spells, trying to provide more magic support for Red. Diana clasped her hands tightly, her eyes full of worry and firmness. The holy light on her body became more and more dazzling, as if she were ready to rush into the core and fight side-by-side with Red at any time.
"Red, hold on!" Superman hovered in mid-air, the blue light around his body like burning flames. He transmitted his super strength through the Energy Shield, hoping to add a boost to Red.
Inside the core, Red's clothes were soaked with sweat, and every muscle was trembling from excessive exertion. He took a deep breath, concentrated his spirit, and began to try to copy the residual Dark Power around him. This seemingly crazy act had its own considerations. He wanted to understand the essence of this Dark Power, so as to find a way to completely destroy it.
The moment the Dark Power surged into his body, Redonly felt a cold, evil chill spreading along his meridians, as if it wanted to freeze his soul. His consciousness began to blur, and various terrifying illusions appeared before his eyes. Countless hideous faces were baring fangs and brandishing claws in front of him, emitting piercing screams.
