Bang! Bang! Bang!!
Explosions of sound erupted repeatedly.
The sudden magical smoke instantly drew the attention of all mutant villains present.
Even the spy satellites deployed by the National Strategic Defense and Logistics Department focused on this location.
District 13.Sentinel Special Task Force.Bureau 749.Security Council.
Heads and leaders of each organization turned their gaze, all feeling a chilling sense of intimidation.
Every hair on their bodies stood on end!
It was as if they were about to witness the revival of a prehistoric beast firsthand!
"That is…"
"The Warlord?"
The Talos couple's eyes widened in shock.
"Wait."
"Something's wrong!"
"This is completely different from the Warlord I've seen before!"
Stark's pupils contracted.
Through the Veronica armor, he zoomed the camera, adjusting focus, zooming in, and then further zooming in!
The blurry outline of a giant figure appeared.
Majestic horns crowned its head.
Muscles bulging and defined.
Its body covered in dark green, solid scales. Every movement exuded power; every limb radiated explosive force!
A thick tail dragged behind it.
A towering, massive figure, visually overwhelming!
Even the likes of Lightning Demon Zhong Su or Earth Demon Di Kui…
Their physiques were no match.
Ivory-white, sharp fangs; chilling claws on five fingers.
Tightly gripping an exaggeratedly large wolf-tooth club.
"Hello."
"Mechanical boy who dreams of slaying dragons."
A deep, magical voice echoed through the universe.
Space itself seemed to tremble.
The crust of the earth quaked!
Whoooosh!!
A violent gust of wind swept past.
The magical smoke scattered in every direction.
Everyone present screamed sharply and chaotically, like terrified chickens.
This is the Warlord?
This is the Warlord!!
Animal-type Devil Fruits have three transformative forms:
Human form
Beast form
Human-beast form
At this moment, the form Shen Du displayed was the third:
Human-Beast Form!
The ultimate form, combining the Warlord's appearance with the power of the Azure Dragon.
Nearly seven meters tall, like a copper wall stretched across the scene. Its facial features were still discernible, faintly recalling its previous appearance. Its two canine teeth had become dragon fangs.
Chunky, solid muscles gleamed with a metallic sheen.
Even top bodybuilders couldn't compare.
Flawless. Not a trace of fat.
Dense scales covered joints, spine, and other vulnerable areas, greatly enhancing durability!
Of course, speed, strength, and agility also increased geometrically!
Truly terrifying!
"This…"
"Is that the Warlord?!"
Zhong Su froze.
Damn!
You've been secretly growing stronger alone!
That wolf-tooth club…
Is probably forged from high-purity Vibranium too, right?!
Damn!
Why didn't you give me one?
The first batch of Vibranium, besides reinforcing the Red Lighthouse base, was used to forge several pieces of equipment:
Zhong Su's brand-new armor.
Shen Du's wolf-tooth club!
He had copied Kaido's signature weapon, the Eight Rituals, since swords, spears, axes, and other weapons felt awkward and unwieldy.
The wolf-tooth club was about half of Shen Du's height—roughly one zhang (~3.3 meters).
The hammerhead was like a jujube pit, embedded with iron spikes resembling wolf teeth, exuding a fierce aura.
Polished and gleaming, it shone like mercury foil, extremely heavy, with faint inscriptions sparkling on its surface.
A single strike could likely kill even a Yonko!
"Finally freed from my hunchback."
Shen Du stretched.
Immediately, his muscles and bones cracked audibly!
Because the Warlord's true form is a dragon, this form leaned more toward humanoid.
Trinity form!
An unprecedented feeling of exhilaration enveloped Shen Du.
He almost couldn't recover.
It was his first display of Human-Beast Form, shocking the audience beyond measure!
Even Veronica armor, nearly five meters tall and fully armed, now seemed insignificant.
Like a plastic toy.
Looks utterly fragile.
"Metal weapon?"
Magneto laughed.
His powers dominate all metals!
With a mere gesture, he could crush Tony Stark.
Be it Adamantium, Vibranium, or even Captain America's shield, he could easily dismantle it, destabilizing molecular structure and magnetic elements.
Of course, he wouldn't join this battle.
Only intervening at critical moments to minimize losses.
"Why is Jean messing around with the Demon Emperor?"
Pepper's voice was cold.
Her form shifted again—long red hair flowing, tall and elegant, as if piercing the human heart, probing for truth.
…
In a deep forest, tall ancient trees stood.
A massive armored figure grasped an ancestral demon blade. Its blue-faced, fanged visage flickered under the firelight, extremely chilling.
Dr. Green.Murakami.
Several refracted, glowing snake eyes appeared behind them.
The mustached cat-faced creature squinted, admiring the imposing figure.
"The Warlord."
"Has evolved again."
This form was unprecedented.
Even official records in China had no mention.
"Must inform the Director to convince the Lü family heir to appear."
"Have to accept the terms offered by the divine family!"
Sun Wukong and the elegant woman exchanged glances, breaking into a cold sweat.
A chill ran down their spines.
The Demon Emperor, once ruler of China twice…
If he ascended the harbor city, awakened the sleeping palace, and restored former rule—who could stop him?!
The land of China would be ravaged!
If all-out war broke out, even the Kowloon Peninsula might sink!
Erased from history!
The Warlord.
Facing the world, forcefully announcing his return!
Such a public, commanding appearance—truly a first!
Kinosha.
Closely monitored by international organizations.
Even Western powers and Eastern nations were watching.
The first mutant-built nation!
Yet, the Warlord's appearance made all mutants mere background, and Magneto could only cower.
Satellites clearly captured the Warlord's towering figure.
Even with news blackouts, speculation and rumors would soon emerge!
Criminals who revered Warlord legends would certainly rejoice!
Indeed.
Even the ruthless Warlord had fans.
Not just Lord Man.
Many mountain bandits obsessed over the Warlord's legend!
The Fire Demon controlling twelve talismans and divination power—what a majestic presence!
Only regret not being born in the same era.
Otherwise, he'd slay dragons and make a coat from the Warlord's pelt!
"An earthquake is coming!"
"Is this mutant too?!"
"Speed up replication of superhuman serum!"
"How's the Sentinel robot development going?!"
Shouts rang out.
Tonight, no one would sleep.
The great powers trembled.
Yet the real show had just begun!
Creak! Creak!
Glass shattered explosively.
As if a psychic explosion swept in all directions.
Top-tier Conqueror's Haki!
Mind affecting matter.
Power rivaling Earth's strongest brains' epileptic discharges—perhaps exceeding them!
Buzz!!
An energy tide suddenly radiated outward.
Dimensions swayed.
Mountains trembled!
The leaden clouds over the land split in two!
Moonlight cast a silvery veil upon him.
Towering and imposing—gods themselves might pale in comparison!
Gurgle!!
Nearby mutant villains' pupils went unfocused.
Foaming at the mouth.
Directly knocked out!
Strange-looking mutant heretics fell like grass before a scythe!
Shen Du's psychic intimidation was unstoppable!
Clearly, the millions of mutants occupying Kinosha were largely ineffective.
Most elites had deep backgrounds or multiple identities, acting as insiders but not contributing.
Magneto indeed should feel overwhelmed.
"Overstretched."
"Big mistake."
Shen Du mocked.
He had reason to ridicule Magneto!
Ask, when he mobilized his forces, did he do it in full?
Life Foundation.Red Room.Kowloon Peninsula.Sokovia.
Mostly managed by agents.
He, as the laissez-faire overseer, only occasionally supported agents.
So when Magneto announced his nation-building, it marked the start of Kinosha's collapse!
"Long time no see."
"The Warlord!!"
Stark squinted, greeting with forceful words.
Flashing images of his time with the Dragon-Slaying Fighter raced through his mind.
Mentor, friend, and even a rare experience of 'fatherly love.'
Upon learning Lopez was burned by phoenix fire…
Vanished.
Stark had set up a memorial, often honoring Lopez.
How long has it been?!
Finally seeing the Warlord again!
Old grudges, new grievances—finally a chance for revenge!
Whoosh!! Whoosh!! Whoosh!!
Enchanted armors dove one after another.
Arc-shaped reactors on their chests ramped to full power, hands gathered, palms suddenly firing half-meter-wide terrifying pulses!
Green oscillating beams streaked toward the towering figure wielding the wolf-tooth club.
Speed like lightning!
Even Lightning Demon Zhong Su couldn't dodge this!
"…Incredible righteous energy!"
Earth Demon Di Kui leapt from the abyss, lifting a stone-lion-like fierce face:
"Hope the Warlord doesn't die."
Talos sneered.
Bang!
Gripping the tail end of the Vibranium wolf-tooth club, the dragon claw swung violently.
Ribbons of air surged intensely.
Creak!
Tightly gripping the handle.
The mighty demon twisted his torso, taking an extremely standard swinging stance!
Sizzle. Sizzle.
Black lightning coiled around the club.
Conqueror's Haki enveloped it.
Instantly granting the Vibranium wolf-tooth club unprecedented destructive power!
"What's he doing?!"
"Hitting?"
"Home run?!"
Gasps echoed.
Everyone held their breath.
Boom!!
A deafening roar erupted.
The Warlord swung across space, slamming out a sword-energy rainbow tearing the night!
The rainbow clashed with the oscillating beams.
The contact point erupted into an unprecedented energy tide.
Only very few could discern illusion from reality!
Standing on the cruise city deck,
Elite mutants in full attire,
Sun Wukong, inheriting all the powers of the Fighting Buddha—
All rendered speechless!
Not knowing how to express themselves.
Talos trembled, giving a thumbs-up, saying in broken Chinese:
"Bad…ass!!"
