Niu Bi?
Indeed… Niu Bi!
A single strike unleashed a sword-energy rainbow capable of piercing the very heavens!
Who could possibly wield such power?!
At this moment, all adjectives fell utterly short. Everyone was rendered speechless, as if God himself had hit the mute button.
Only a clumsy yet resounding "Niu Bi!" echoed across the deck of the cruise city.
"Looks like your transformation target is a Chinese Awakener?"
The Monkey King's eyes narrowed slightly.
Awakener.
This was the unique term used by certain Chinese authorities for mutants.
They were generally categorized into seven tiers by threat level: F, E, D, C, B, A, S.
Perhaps, favored by the Celestial Deities, those born in China often underwent multiple extreme mutations—granting them strength approaching that of the gods themselves!
Of course…
Even if one truly ascended to godhood…
It would still pale compared to the power of the Holy Lord.
Holy Lord.
The Li Huo Demon, twice the scourge of the Chinese lands, remained an indelible nightmare of the East!
He was the tyrant chronicled in history.
The mastermind behind book burnings and scholar massacres.
The origin of the collapse of propriety, music, and culture.
Everyone hated this unreasonable demon emperor.
Topple the statues.
Raze the lewd temples.
How many noble families had their fortunes devoured by him?
The court's ministers gritted their teeth in fury!
If the Holy Lord were to ascend the throne again…
Every wealthy clan would undoubtedly suffer!
"Forgot to introduce myself."
"I am the captain of the Fengshen organization."
"The Weather Witch."
A strikingly beautiful woman with a typical East Asian face smiled, sparks of electricity dancing from her fingertips—an elegant display of power and goodwill.
Fengshen?
Taros and his partner exchanged glances.
They had heard rumors!
It was a recently formed Chinese superhero organization!Its members were shrouded in mystery.
Even the national strategic defense and logistics departments had no concrete files.
Seems the East is open to cooperation?
"To resolve the demon crisis as quickly as possible!"
The Weather Witch raised her chin with resolve.
Ka-cha! Ka-cha!
Thunder roared across the deck.
A towering, light-blue-skinned demon in golden armor gripped a lightning spear, slamming against the incoming enchanted armors.
Forked lightning arced through the sky, illuminating the night.
The Kinosha island seemed transformed into a demonic kingdom.
A grim, ominous aura spread.
"Stark can surely defeat the Holy Lord," Taros said casually.
"After all, he developed the Veronica armor!"
The Veronica Armor.
Tony Stark's magnum opus, the pinnacle of technology!
It featured a unique composite structure, independent systems, an AI interface, and outer plating infused with traces of Adamantium…
The strongest known alloy on Earth.
Remarkably, it could even harmonize with magical properties without weakening or conflict—a fact that surprised even Dragon-Slayer Lope.
This material was exceedingly rare!
Scarce even in barbaric lands!
Usually, it was locked away in the vaults of noble families.
"I don't think so," a voice interrupted.
A voluptuous woman approached gracefully, holding a goblet, her smile gentle, her posture elegant.
She wore an elaborate knit gown, a pendant hanging over her chest—resembling the symbols of Western witches.
"Lady Agnes?"
Taros was astonished.
Unknown to them, the conversation had already reached multiple mysterious entities—including Lady Agnes herself.
Standing atop the deck, fully adorned.
Elite mutants were everywhere, but none intended to intervene in the conflict.
"There."
"The Holy Lord moves."
Agnes pointed toward the distance.
Whoosh!
A massive, muscular figure leapt—
Swinging its weapon again!
A terrifying sword-energy rainbow erupted—this time even larger than before!
The air itself was whipped into a deafening sonic boom.
The ground trembled violently.
A frenzied quake shook everything!
Both the power and the oppressive force far surpassed the previous strike.
The technique was entirely different.
The previous strike was Mingdiao.
This one was Jingangdiao!
Channeling supreme Haki to generate black lightning, after a brief charge, the weapon was swung, producing destruction enough to level a mountain!
Crash!
Tidal waves pounded the blackened rocks.
Dark clouds gathered once more, heralding an impending storm.
"Sir."
"According to calculations, you cannot evade the enemy's strike."
A colorless, emotionless voice spoke again.
Cannot evade?!
Stark's expression darkened.
This Holy Lord was nothing like he imagined!
He wielded a weapon…
And struck forth a white flash rivaling his own pulse beams!
The sword-energy rainbow, several meters in diameter, surged closer and closer.
Expanding, expanding!
Shaking the very earth beneath, the screen flickered, images blurred…
Even J.A.R.V.I.S. seemed to go offline!
Stark felt darkness cloud his vision, his nerves firing uncontrollably.
He could no longer control his own movements.
In an instant…
His mind was flooded with the dizzying thrill of his first roller coaster ride!
The centrifugal force ripped his spirit from his body, momentarily!
"Wuhu…"
"I'm still alive."
Stark laughed aloud.
Yet J.A.R.V.I.S. gave no response.
Clearly, the onboard systems needed reinforcement.
Buzz!
The mystical runes engraved across the armor activated.
A fierce yet gentle healing light slowly repaired Veronica's damage.
Stark specialized in enchantments—runes, scroll magic.
Unlike Kamataji's cultivation system, this was genuine Eastern mystical tradition.
All runes were meticulously selected by Tony Stark, honed through numerous real combat drills.
The armor's performance nearly matched that of a god-forged suit!
"Heard you nearly died?"
"Thanks to the armor's protection function," Stark said with a sardonic smile.
He had identified a lethal weakness in the Holy Lord.
Yin and Yang.
Mutual generation and restraint.
In theory, no one was truly invincible.
Right.
Rune extraction magic.
His father had taught him the spell…
The massive, heroic figure smiled, his dragon-like teeth gleaming sharply.
"Come on over, then?"
The Holy Lord gestured, hungry for combat.
Buzz!!
Engines roared.
Several enchanted armors dived from all directions, their surfaces glowing menacingly, designs intricate and elegant.
Adapted for extreme environments.
The first one, black with golden chrome stripes, reinforced against wear and corrosion—
Mark 41 Skeletal Armor!
A prototype for a versatile combat suit.
Limbs and torso could detach; concealed micro arc reactors installed.
"Fancy."
Shen Du smiled grimly, his scaled face serene.
A human-beast hybrid.
Three-in-one.
Holy Lord's physique, Azure Dragon power, and giant form sculpted like a divine masterpiece.
Creak!
Gripping the weapon tighter, psychokinetic energy surged.
Top-tier Haki among millions, unleashed to the extreme, manifested as crackling black lightning!
Like hellish thunder.
Enough to annihilate all matter.
Ominous.
Foreboding.
Even souls felt the twisted assault.
"F**k!"
"Is the Holy Lord trying to seize my authority?!"
Zhong Su swung, fingers crackling with lightning, knocking back an orange armored suit.
He caught Shen Du's movement from the corner of his eye, cursing under his breath!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The orange armor hovered, its core spewing green energy, shocking the Lightning Demon's senses.
Mark 28 Jack!
Black and yellow, dual-layered protection, insulated against extreme radiation and EM interference.
On the surface, the suits resembled familiar party garb.
But Stark's improvisations had transformed their functions beyond the original designs.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Dividing into multiple assaults, the enchanted suits struck—
Targeting the burly demon, Di Kui.
"Violinist, play him a tune," Stark encouraged.
Mark 29.
Violinist.
Black and gray, solid as rock, left hand modified with a powerful drill capable of crushing the strongest stone.
Engraved runes amplified its effectiveness against Di Kui!
Boom!
The drill roared.
Sharp metal pierced Di Kui's back.
"Is this my parole gift?"
The demon's deep voice rumbled.
He swung his dark green curved horns, blocking the Violinist.
Even after millennia, his cunning and magic might gone—
The ancient demon remained atop the food chain.
Relying on weak magic-tech to subdue him? Insane!
"Thunder!"
A low, magnetic voice rang out.
The air seemed to freeze.
Mutants standing on the deck suddenly felt a crushing presence.
Even Magneto squinted from his hidden mansion.
"Meow?"
A ginger cat tilted its head, sensing danger instinctively.
"The Holy Lord…"
"How many unknown techniques, secret moves remain?"
A floating cat-faced head trembled violently.
Shivering like a startled feral cat.
Ka-cha! Ka-cha!
Black lightning swirled around the Vibranium Wolf Tooth Club, runes glowing fiercely.
As the approaching armors neared…
Residual afterimages roared.
"Eight Trigrams!"
Thunderous Eight Trigrams!!
The signature move of Kaido of the Beasts.
In the show, Kaido had stunned the Four Emperors' fourth-form transformations with this strike.
The principle was simple.
Wrap the weapon in Haki, let black lightning accumulate, and swing at high speed.
Even if opponents predicted the trajectory, they couldn't fully evade!
The strike was devastating.
Any being hit would collapse, temporarily unconscious.
It could hit multiple targets at once, though damage would be reduced.
Boom!!
Dazzling explosions erupted like fireworks.
A single strike—several armors attacking Shen Du were dismembered.
Blown to ash.
Unprecedented high-energy radiation spread, swirling debris and sand across the battlefield.
"You won't come…"
"Then I'll go to you."
Shen Du smiled—a smile both chilling and terrifying.
"Actually, you can stay right where you are."
Stark pursed his lips.
A chill ran down his spine.
