Chapter 360
Elektra flashed, appearing like a ghost at the side of the black palm, her twin blades hacking viciously at its joints. However, the black palm's defense was extremely high; the blades left only shallow marks.
Selene quickly formed hand seals, and the surrounding elements formed huge ice blades that shot toward the black palm. The ice blades exploded on the palm, but only slowed its attack speed.
Tony, piloting the War Armor, continuously fired Repulsor Rays and various high-tech weapons in the air, attempting to interrupt the black palm's attack. But to the black palm, these attacks were like tickling, unable to cause substantial damage.
Captain America led the other superheroes to form a defensive line, using shields and weapons to block the black palm's attacks. Their bodies trembled under the powerful force of the impact, but they gritted their teeth and held on.
Hode was anxious; he knew this couldn't go on. He felt the intimacy between him and Diana heating up during the battle, and a brand-new power was stirring within him.
"Diana, I feel that the power between us can fuse again, and this time it will be even more powerful!" Hodeshouted.
Diana nodded. She and Hode exchanged a look, and both extended their hands, palms facing each other. A powerful Divine Power surged from Diana's body, merging with Hode's Quantum Energy to form an even larger Energy Vortex.
"Elektra, Selene, join us quickly!" Hode shouted.
Elektra and Selene quickly came to Hode and Diana's side, merging their own power into the Energy Vortex. The four different powers intertwined and fused, forming an unprecedentedly powerful force. This power, like a surging tide, rolled and churned within Hode, making him feel as if he possessed the ability to shatter the void with a single punch.
The black palm seemed to sense danger; it increased the intensity of its attacks, attempting to defeat the superheroes before they completed the power fusion. It swung wildly, and black energy beams shot from the palm toward the superheroes.
The superheroes dodged the energy beam attacks one after another while trying to maintain the state of power fusion. Hode felt his body bearing immense pressure, but he knew he could not give up now.
"Everyone, hold on! We will succeed soon!" Hode gritted his teeth and shouted.
Finally, the four powers completely fused together, forming a huge beam of golden energy. This beam contained Hode's Quantum Energy, Diana's Divine Power, Elektra's agility and strength, and Selene's elemental control, powerful enough to destroy everything.
"Fire!" Hode shouted.
The golden energy beam instantly shot toward the black palm, colliding with the black energy on the palm and emitting a violent explosion. The light illuminated the entire sky, and the powerful shockwave caused the surrounding air to distort.
Under the attack of the golden energy beam, the black palm began to collapse gradually. It let out painful roars, attempting to resist this powerful force, but it was all in vain.
However, just as the black palm was about to disappear completely, a low roar suddenly came from the crack. Immediately after, an even larger figure slowly emerged from the crack.
This figure was covered in black mist, its specific appearance unclear, but it radiated a chilling pressure. Its appearance plunged the entire battlefield into a dead silence, and the superheroes from the 53 Reading Club stopped their actions, watching this new enemy vigilantly.
"Th... What is this thing?" Elektra asked in terror, her voice trembling slightly.
Hode clenched his fists. He could feel the power within him surging, but he also knew that the enemy he was facing this time was far more powerful than all the previous ones. He turned to look at Diana, Elektra, and Selene; although there was a hint of fear in the three women's eyes, there was more determination.
"No matter what it is, we cannot retreat." Hode said firmly.
The new monster let out an angry roar, and black vortexes suddenly appeared around its body, from which countless black tentacles surged, attacking the superheroes.
The superheroes reacted quickly and launched counterattacks. Diana swung the Spear of Truth, continuously stabbing at the incoming tentacles; Elektramoved like a ghost, weaving between the tentacles, looking for opportunities to attack; Selene controlled the surrounding elements to interfere with and attack the tentacles; Tony piloted the War Armor, continuously firing weapons from the air, attempting to cut off the source of the tentacles; Captain America led the other superheroes to form a defensive line, using shields and weapons to block the tentacles' attacks.
Hode concentrated, feeling the power connection between himself and the three female superheroes. He discovered that during the battle with the new monster, the intimacy between them was still increasing, and a brand-new ability seemed to be gradually awakening.
"Everyone, hold on a little longer, I feel like we will be able to obtain even more powerful strength soon!" Hodeshouted.
In the intense battle, Hode suddenly felt some strange images flash through his mind, as if some ancient power was transmitting information to him. He closed his eyes and tried to feel this information. Gradually, he understood that this was a brand-new combat technique, a technique that could bring the power between the four of them to its limit.
"Diana, Elektra, Selene, listen to me!" Hode shouted, "If we release our power according to a specific rhythm and method, we can trigger an even more powerful attack."
The three women looked at Hode, their eyes full of trust. Hode quickly told them the combat techniques that had appeared in his mind, and the four began to cooperate tacitly.
They released their power according to a specific rhythm and method, and the four different powers, under their control, formed a complex energy network. This energy network continuously absorbed the surrounding environmental energy, becoming increasingly powerful.
The new monster seemed to sense the change in the superheroes. It let out an angry roar and increased the intensity of its control over the tentacles. The tentacles became thicker and more flexible, continuously launching attacks at the superheroes.
But the superheroes had already entered a wonderful state, and their attacks and defenses became incomparably smooth. With the blessing of the energy network, Diana's Spear of Truth became sharper, and every stab could sever a large number of tentacles; Elektra's twin blades were like lightning, weaving between the tentacles and continuously causing damage to the monster; Selene's elemental attacks became more precise and powerful, and elemental attacks like fireballs, ice blades, and storms continuously bombarded the monster; under the assistance of the energy network, Tony's War Armor saw its attack and defense capabilities greatly improved, and he continuously fired powerful weapons to conduct long-range strikes on the monster; the defensive line formed by Captain Americaand the other superheroes also became stronger, and they cooperated closely to successfully block the monster's attacks.
As the battle continued, the balance of power between the superheroes and the new monster gradually changed. The intimacy between the four reached an unprecedented height, and the new ability finally fully awakened.
Hode felt as if his body was connected to the energy of the entire Universe, and he could control Quantum Energy as he pleased. He shouted loudly, waved his hands, and a huge Quantum Energy storm swept toward the monster.
Diana, Elektra, and Selene also released their strongest powers simultaneously, merging with the Quantum Energystorm to form a World-destroying torrent of energy.
The monster let out a desperate roar, trying to resist this powerful torrent of energy, but it was all in vain. The torrent of energy instantly swallowed the monster, emitting an earth-shattering explosion.
The light dissipated, the monster had disappeared without a trace, and the cracks in the sky began to heal gradually. The superheroes breathed a sigh of relief, looking at each other with relieved smiles in their eyes.
However, just at this moment, Hode suddenly felt a more hidden and dangerous aura coming from afar. He looked up in the direction the aura was coming from, and an ominous premonition surged in his heart...
Chapter 562: This aura... is very wrong
Hode's eyes instantly became sharp, and alarm bells rang in his heart. This hidden and dangerous aura made him feel even more uneasy than the monster that had surged from the crack earlier. He subconsciously looked at Diana beside him. Diana also noticed the abnormality; she gently held Hode's hand and whispered: "Hode, this aura... is very wrong."
Elektra swung the twin blades in her hands, a look of disdain on her face, but her eyes revealed a hint of gravity: "Hmph, no matter what it is, if it dares to cause trouble, I'll let it taste my blade."
Selene quickly formed hand seals, and the surrounding elements began to surge uneasily. She frowned and said: "I can feel a kind of ancient and evil power contained in this aura. We must be careful."
Tony's War Armor alarm sounded again, and his voice came through the communicator: "Guys, my monitoring system shows that an unidentified object is approaching us at an extremely fast speed. Everyone, get ready for battle."
Captain America Steve Rogers gripped his shield tightly and shouted: "Avengers and Justice League, assemble! No matter who the enemy is, we cannot retreat."
Hode took a deep breath. He knew the coming battle would be even more difficult. He looked at his partners beside him, and a firm belief surged in his heart: "Everyone, no matter what difficulties we encounter, we must face them together."
Just at this moment, a black figure appeared before everyone like lightning. This was a tall figure shrouded in a black robe, wearing a hideous mask, revealing only a pair of eyes emitting eerie light.
The You-Know-Who let out a low laugh, the sound seeming to come from the depths of hell: "You self-righteous superheroes, do you think you can stop me? Today, the entire World will fall under my control."
Hode frowned tightly. He felt a powerful aura radiating from this You-Know-Who, an aura completely different from the monsters encountered before, as if it carried an evil power from the abyss. He clenched his fists, and the Quantum Energy in his body began to surge: "Who exactly are you? What do you want?"
The You-Know-Who sneered: "Who I am is not important. What's important is that you will all die here today, and the entire World will also become my possession."
Elektra flashed, rushing toward the You-Know-Who like a ghost, her twin blades hacking viciously at the You-Know-Who's neck: "Stop spouting nonsense here, take my blade first!"
The You-Know-Who tilted his body slightly, dodging Elektra's attack. He extended a hand, and a stream of black energy surged from it, instantly knocking Elektra flying. Elektra rolled a few times in the air, barely stabilizing her figure. She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, a flash of shock in her eyes: "Such strong power!"
Seeing this, Diana immediately swung the Spear of Truthand thrust it toward the You-Know-Who. The Spear of Truth carried a powerful Divine Power, and wherever it passed, the air was torn apart. The You-Know-Who waved his hands, and a black barrier appeared in front of him. The Spear of Truth struck the barrier, emitting harsh friction sounds, but could not advance any further.
Selene formed hand seals, and the surrounding elements formed huge fireballs that shot toward the You-Know-Who. The fireballs exploded around the You-Know-Who, but only lifted a corner of his robe, causing him no damage at all.
Tony piloted the War Armor, continuously firing Repulsor Rays and various high-tech weapons in the air. However, the You-Know-Who just waved his hand lightly, and those attacks were rebounded by an invisible force. Tony's War Armor was hit, emitting alarm sounds.
Captain America led the other superheroes to form a defensive line, using shields and weapons to attack the You-Know-Who. But there seemed to be an invisible shield around the You-Know-Who's body, and their attacks were all easily blocked.
Hode was anxious; he knew this couldn't go on. He felt the intimacy between him, Diana, Elektra, and Selene heating up during the battle, and a brand-new power seemed to be quietly gestating.
"Diana, Elektra, Selene, we cannot fight on our own, we must unite!" Hode shouted.
The three women looked at Hode, their eyes full of trust. Hode took a deep breath. He felt that the intimacy between him and the three female superheroes had reached a new height during the battle, and a brand-new ability was stirring within him.
"Everyone, pass your power to me!" Hode shouted.
Diana unhesitatingly injected her Divine Power into Hode's body, Elektra also merged her agility and strength into it, and Selene controlled the surrounding elements to provide support for Hode's power. Four different powers intertwined and fused within Hode, forming an unprecedentedly powerful force.
Hode felt as if his body was filled with a powerful energy, and his eyes flashed with golden light. He shouted loudly, waved his hands, and a huge beam of energy shot toward the You-Know-Who. This beam contained Hode's Quantum Energy, Diana's Divine Power, Elektra's agility and strength, and Selene's elemental control, powerful enough to destroy everything.

You-Know-Who sensed the danger. He quickly formed hand seals with both hands, trying to resist this powerful energy beam. However, the power of the energy beam was beyond his imagination, and his black barrier gradually shattered under its impact. You-Know-Who let out a roar, and a thicker black mist emanated from his entire body as he tried to strengthen his defenses.
But the joint attack of Hode and the others was too powerful. The energy beam instantly pierced through You-Know-Who's defense and struck his body. You-Know-Who was sent flying and crashed heavily to the ground. He struggled to climb up, his long robe tattered and torn, and a crack had appeared on his mask.
"You... how dare you hurt me!" You-Know-Who roared in anger.
Hode and the others did not let their guard down. They knew that You-Know-Who would not be defeated so easily. Sure enough, a powerful Dark Power suddenly surged from You-Know-Who's body, and his physical form began to undergo a bizarre transformation. His limbs became incredibly thick, sharp bone spikes grew on his body, and his eyes turned blood-red, emitting a chilling aura.
"Today, all of you will die here!" You-Know-Who let out a terrifying roar and charged at the superheroes.
The superheroes reacted quickly and launched their counterattacks. Diana brandished the Spear of Truth and engaged in close-quarters combat with You-Know-Who. The Spear of Truth clashed with the bone spikes on You-Know-Who's body, sending sparks flying. Elektra moved like a ghost, weaving around You-Know-Who to look for an opening. Her dual blades repeatedly slashed at You-Know-Who's joints, attempting to weaken his combat capability.

Selene manipulated the surrounding elements to distract and attack You-Know-Who. Elemental attacks such as fireballs, ice blades, and storms continuously bombarded You-Know-Who, but his body was exceptionally tough, and these attacks only left shallow marks on him.
Tony, piloting his War Armor, continuously fired weapons from the air, trying to interrupt You-Know-Who's attacks. However, You-Know-Who was extremely fast, easily dodging Tony's attacks. Captain America led the other superheroes to form a defensive line, using shields and weapons to withstand You-Know-Who's onslaught. Their bodies trembled under the impact of You-Know-Who's powerful strength, but they still gritted their teeth and held on.
Hode focused his mind, sensing the connection of power between himself and the three female superheroes. He discovered that during the battle with You-Know-Who, the intimacy between them was still continuously rising, and a brand-new ability seemed to be gradually awakening.
...0...
"Everyone, hold on a bit longer! I feel like we are about to obtain even greater power!" Hode shouted loudly.
During the intense battle, Hode suddenly felt strange images flashing through his mind, as if some ancient power was transmitting information to him. He closed his eyes and tried hard to sense this information. Gradually, he realized that this was a brand-new combat technique, one that could unleash the power of the four of them to the absolute limit.
"Diana, Elektra, Selene, listen to me!" Hode said loudly. "If we release our power in a specific rhythm and manner, we can stimulate a much more powerful attack."
The three women looked at Hode one after another, their eyes filled with trust. Hode quickly shared the combat technique that had surfaced in his mind with them, and the four of them began to cooperate in perfect harmony.
They released their power according to the specific rhythm and manner. Under their control, the four different powers formed a complex energy network. This energy network continuously absorbed the surrounding environmental energy, becoming stronger and stronger.
You-Know-Who sensed the change in the superheroes. He let out an angry roar and intensified his attacks. Black vortexes suddenly appeared around his body, and countless black tentacles surged from the vortexes, sweeping toward the superheroes.
But the superheroes had entered a wondrous state at this moment, and their offense and defense became incredibly fluid. With the enhancement of the energy network, Diana's Spear of Truth became even sharper, severing a vast number of tentacles with every thrust. Elektra's dual blades were like lightning, weaving through the tentacles and continuously dealing damage to You-Know-Who. Selene's elemental attacks became more precise and powerful, with fireballs, ice blades, and storms relentlessly bombarding You-Know-Who. Assisted by the energy network, Tony's War Armor saw its offensive and defensive capabilities greatly enhanced as he continuously fired powerful weapons to launch long-range strikes against You-Know-Who. The defensive line formed by Captain America and the other superheroes also became sturdier; they cooperated closely and successfully withstood You-Know-Who's onslaught.
Chapter 563: A Brand-New Ability Seems to Be Awakening
Hode's pupils contracted sharply, and warning bells rang frantically in his mind. This cold aura coming from deep underground was even more bone-chilling than the evil power on You-Know-Who earlier. He instinctively looked at Diana beside him. Diana had also noticed the anomaly. She tightly held Hode's hand, her brows furrowed, and her eyes filled with vigilance: "Hode, this aura... is even more dangerous than that guy just now."
Elektra swung the dual blades in her hands, her face still wearing a look of disdain, but the slightly trembling blades betrayed her inner tension: "Hmph, I don't care what kind of thing it is. I'll kill them as they come."
Selene quickly formed hand seals, and the surrounding elements began to surge frantically. Her voice carried a trace of trembling: "I can feel that this power seems to come from the abyss. We might really be in big trouble this time."
The warning alarms of Tony's War Armor blared frantically once again. His voice came through the communicator, carrying a hint of panic: "Guys, the monitoring system shows a massive energy surging underground, and it's moving extremely fast. Everyone, prepare for the worst."
Captain America Steve Rogers gripped his shield tightly and shouted, "Avengers—705u.com-53 Reading Club—and Justice League, stay alert! No matter who the enemy is, we must protect this World."
Hode took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. He looked at the companions beside him, a sense of determination surging in his heart: "Everyone, no matter what we face next, we will face it together."
Right at that moment, the ground suddenly shook violently. The cracks expanded rapidly, and black liquid gushed out like a fountain, condensing in the air into hideous monsters. These monsters came in various shapes and sizes; some had giant fangs, while others were covered in sharp spikes, emitting a sickening stench.
"Go!" At Captain America's command, the superheroes quickly sprang into action.
Diana brandished the Spear of Truth and charged toward the nearest monster. Carrying powerful Divine Power, the Spear of Truth thrust fiercely into the monster's body. The monster let out a roar and swung its giant claws at Diana. Diana nimbly dodged the attack with a side-step, then thrust her spear again, leaving a deep wound on the monster.
Elektra, like a ghost, weaved through the horde of monsters. Her dual blades swung rapidly, each attack precisely striking the monsters' vital spots. A monster opened its bloody maw to bite her, but Elektra's figure flashed, appearing behind it. Her dual blades slashed fiercely at the monster's neck, and its head instantly fell off.
Selene manipulated the surrounding elements, forming massive fireballs and ice blades to shoot at the monsters. The fireballs exploded among the monsters, burning them and causing them to shriek in pain, while the ice blades accurately struck their bodies, freezing them into blocks of ice.
Tony, piloting his War Armor, continuously fired Repulsor Rays and various high-tech weapons from the air. His War Armor nimbly dodged the monsters' attacks while dealing them fatal blows.
However, these monsters seemed endless, continuously surging from underground. The superheroes gradually began to struggle, and their stamina was constantly being depleted.
Hode was extremely anxious; he knew this couldn't go on. He felt that the intimacy between himself and Diana, Elektra, and Selene had reached a new level during the battle, and a brand-new power seemed to be stirring.
"Diana, Elektra, Selene, we can't let these monsters wear us down! We must find the source and resolve this once and for all!" Hode shouted loudly.
The three women nodded one after another, their eyes filled with trust. Hode took a deep breath and focused his mind, sensing the connection of power between himself and the three female superheroes. He felt a warm and powerful energy flowing between them, as if an invisible bond was tightly linking them together.
"Everyone, lend me your power! Let's break through this predicament together!" Hode shouted.
Diana did not hesitate to pour her Divine Power into Hode's body. Elektra also fused her agility and strength into it, while Selene manipulated the surrounding elements to support Hode's power. The four different powers intertwined and fused within Hode's body, forming an unprecedentedly powerful force.
Hode felt as if his body was filled with a powerful energy, his eyes flashing with a strange light. With a loud shout, he waved his hands, and a massive Energy Shield appeared in front of everyone, blocking all the monsters' attacks.
"Follow me!" Hode said, leading everyone to charge toward the underground crack.
As they advanced, the monsters continuously blocked their path. A giant octopus-like monster extended countless tentacles, wrapping toward them. Hode quickly formed hand seals, and a Quantum Ray shot from his hand, severing all of the octopus monster's tentacles.
Diana brandished the Spear of Truth, clearing a path for everyone. With every thrust of her spear, she could push back a group of monsters. Elektra protected everyone from the side, her dual blades constantly on guard against any danger that might appear. Selene manipulated the elements to provide cover, fireballs and ice blades continuously bombarding the monsters.
Finally, they arrived at the depths of the underground crack. There, they saw a massive Black Crystal emitting a dense, evil aura. It was this very crystal that was continuously creating the monsters.
"That's it!" Hode said, pointing at the Black Crystal.
Right then, a low and evil voice came from the crystal: "You foolish superheroes, do you think you can stop me? Today, the entire World will be completely destroyed by me."
Hode's brows furrowed. He felt that this voice contained a powerful force, as if it could directly strike a person's soul. He clenched his fists, and the Quantum Energy inside his body began to surge frantically: "What on earth are you? Why do you want to destroy the World?"
The voice sneered: "I am a demon from the abyss. This World has long been corrupt. Only by being destroyed by me can a new order be ushered in."
Elektra's figure flashed as she charged toward the Black Crystal, her dual blades slashing fiercely at it: "Cut the nonsense, take this!"
However, when her dual blades struck the crystal, they only produced a piercing metallic grinding sound, leaving the crystal completely unharmed... A powerful counter-shock force sent Elektra flying backward, crashing heavily to the ground as a trace of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.
"Elektra!" Hode's heart tightened, and he quickly rushed over to help Elektra up.
Diana and Selene also gathered around, their eyes filled with worry.
"I'm fine," Elektra said, wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth and gritting her teeth. "This thing is too hard. We have to think of another way."
Hode looked at the Black Crystal, his mind filled with countless thoughts. He knew that ordinary attacks were completely useless against this crystal, and they had to find its weakness.
Just then, he felt that the intimacy between himself and Diana, Elektra, and Selene had reached a new height, and a brand-new ability seemed to be awakening.
"Everyone, I feel like there is a special power between us that might be able to shatter this crystal," Hode said.
The three women looked at Hode one after another, their eyes filled with expectation. Hode took a deep breath and focused his mind, sensing that special power. He felt as if he could communicate telepathically with Diana, Elektra, and Selene, and that their powers could perfectly merge together.
"Let's release our power together and attack the center of the crystal!" Hode shouted.
The four of them stood in a row, holding hands tightly. They closed their eyes, focused their minds, and completely released the power within their bodies. The four different powers intertwined and fused between them, forming a massive energy beam.
Carrying immense power, the energy beam shot toward the center of the Black Crystal. The crystal seemed to sense the danger, emitting an even denser black light in an attempt to resist the energy beam.
However, the joint attack of Hode and the others was too powerful. The energy beam collided with the black light, emitting a burst of dazzling radiance. Within the light, cracks began to appear on the Black Crystal, rapidly expanding.
"Give it everything we've got!" Hode shouted loudly.
Chapter 361
The four of them increased their power output once again, and the energy beam became even more dazzling. Finally, the black crystal could no longer withstand this powerful force; it let out a loud bang and shattered into pieces.
With the shattering of the black crystal, the surrounding monsters also disappeared one after another. The superheroes breathed a sigh of relief, looking at each other with smiles of relief in their eyes.
However, just when they thought the crisis had been resolved, a more violent tremor suddenly came from underground. A huge figure slowly rose from underground, exuding a terrifying aura, as if it were the Demon King from hell.
"Do you think you can stop me like this? Too naive!" the Demon King roared, his voice making everyone's ears ache.
Hode and the others looked at the Demon King before them, their hearts filled with vigilance. They knew that the real battle had only just begun...
Chapter 564: A Brand-New Power Emerges Again
Hode's pupils contracted sharply; the oppressive feeling radiating from the Demon King pressed against his heart like a physical weight, making him almost unable to breathe. He subconsciously looked at Diana beside him, only to see her eyes were firm; although facing such a powerful enemy, she had no intention of retreating at all. Diana held Hode's hand tightly and said softly, "Hode, no matter what happens, we will face it together." Hode felt a warmth in his heart; he knew well that he could not panic at this moment and must find a way to cope with it together with his companions.
Elektra flicked the twin blades in her hands, her face once again showing that look of disdain. Although her hands were trembling slightly due to nervousness, her voice remained tough: "Hmph, whatever kind of Demon King it is, let it come; let's see if I don't chop it into pieces." Selenequickly formed seals with her hands, and the surrounding Elemental Power began to stir frantically. She gritted her teeth and said, "This power is several times stronger than before, but we cannot give up." Tony's War Armor alarm sounded frantically. He shouted through the communicator, "Guys, monitoring data shows that this Demon King's energy index is still climbing; we need to find a way quickly."
Captain America Steve Rogers gripped his shield tightly and shouted, "Avengers and Justice League, everyone don't panic; follow the previous tactical coordination, and we will definitely be able to defeat it!" Hode took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. He pondered in his heart; although the power brought by the increased intimacy with Diana, Elektra, and Selene was strong, it seemed not enough to face this Demon King. He had to further tap into this power or find a new breakthrough.
The Demon King let out a deafening roar, lifted its huge palm, and slammed it down fiercely towards everyone. The palm carried an overwhelming momentum, and wherever it passed, the air was compressed to the point of emitting a sharp whistling sound. Captain America was quick-witted; he lunged forward, held his shield high, and attempted to block the blow. With a loud "boom," the shield and the palm collided. Captain America only felt a huge force coming; his legs involuntarily sank into the ground, but he still gritted his teeth and persisted, shouting, "Everyone, hurry and dodge!"
The superheroes quickly dispersed, and Diana brandished the Spear of Truth, thrusting it towards the Demon King's leg. The Spear of Truth, carrying powerful Divine Power, fiercely pierced into the Demon King's skin, but the Demon King only frowned slightly and kicked towards Diana. Diana quickly dodged to the side, but was still blown away by the powerful air current. Seeing this, Elektra flashed and rushed towards the Demon King's other leg. Her twin blades swung rapidly, leaving shallow wounds on the Demon King's leg. The Demon King felt the pain; it let out a roar and turned to grab at Elektra. Elektra dodged flexibly, her figure constantly weaving around the Demon King, looking for opportunities to attack.
Selene controlled the surrounding Elemental Power, forming massive bolts of lightning that struck towards the Demon King. The lightning struck the Demon King's body, emitting a crackling sound, but the Demon King seemed not to care; the black aura on its body became even thicker, gradually neutralizing the power of the lightning. Tonypiloted his War Armor, constantly firing various high-tech weapons in the air; missiles and laser beams shot towards the Demon King like raindrops. The Demon King opened its huge mouth and spewed a stream of black fire, swallowing all those weapons.
Hode was extremely anxious; he knew that if this continued, everyone would sooner or later be defeated by the Demon King. He felt that the connection of power between himself and Diana, Elektra, and Selene seemed to still have potential to be tapped. He closed his eyes, focused his mind, and tried hard to feel that power. Suddenly, some images flashed through his mind; those were the bits and pieces of his time with the three women. Every warm moment and every intimate contact made that power become clearer.
"Diana, Elektra, Selene, let's try again; let's completely fuse our power!" Hode shouted. The three women nodded one after another, their eyes filled with trust. The four of them stood together, holding hands tightly. Hode closed his eyes, guiding that power to circulate among the four. This time, they felt the fusion between their powers was smoother, as if they had become a whole.
A powerful energy erupted from the four of them, forming a huge Energy Vortex. The Demon King sensed danger; it let out a roar and rushed towards the four. It swung its huge fist and smashed it fiercely towards the Energy Vortex. However, when the fist touched the Energy Vortex, it seemed to fall into a quagmire, its speed becoming slower and slower.
Hode opened his eyes, his eyes flashing with a strange light. He shouted, "Now!" The four of them exerted force simultaneously, shooting that fused power towards the Demon King. The energy beam was like a giant dragon, carrying an earth-shattering momentum as it rushed towards the Demon King. The Demon King wanted to dodge, but that power had already locked onto it firmly.
The energy beam hit the Demon King's body, emitting a dazzling light. The Demon King let out a painful roar, and its body began to tremble violently. In the light, the black aura on the Demon King's body gradually dissipated, and cracks also appeared on its body.
"It's working!" Elektra shouted excitedly. However, the Demon King was not so easily defeated. It suddenly let out a roar, the cracks on its body began to heal, and the black aura spread out again. It waved its hands, and a powerful energy wave swept towards everyone. Everyone quickly dodged, but several people were still hit by that energy wave and suffered varying degrees of injury.
Hode's heart sank; he knew that this Demon King was even more difficult to deal with than they had imagined. He looked at his injured companions beside him, his heart filled with self-reproach. Diana saw Hode's thoughts; she patted Hode on the shoulder and said, "Hode, don't blame yourself; we haven't lost yet. As long as we are united, we will definitely find its weakness."
Just at this moment, Hode suddenly felt that the intimacy between himself and Diana seemed to have reached a new level. A special ability surged in his heart; he seemed to be able to perceive Diana's inner thoughts and emotions. His heart stirred; could this be the new ability brought by the increased intimacy? He tried to communicate with Dianatelepathically.
"Diana, can you feel where the Demon King's weakness is?" Hode asked in his heart. Diana was slightly stunned, then a flash of surprise crossed her eyes, and she responded in her heart, "Hode, I seem to be able to feel it; it has an energy core in its chest, which seems to be the source of its power."
Hode was overjoyed; he quickly told the others the news. After hearing this, everyone cheered up. Captain Americasaid, "Good, then let's formulate a new tactic; concentrate our power to attack the energy core in its chest."
The superheroes acted again. Diana and Hode cooperated with each other and rushed towards the Demon King's chest. Diana brandished the Spear of Truth, attracting the Demon King's attention, while Hode looked for opportunities on the side. Elektra roamed around, her twin blades always ready to deal a fatal blow to the Demon King. Selene controlled the Elemental Power, providing cover for the two. Tony piloted his War Armor, constantly interfering with the Demon King in the air, preventing it from focusing its energy on dealing with Diana and Hode.
The Demon King seemed to have sensed everyone's intentions; it increased its defensive strength, and the energy core in its chest was protected by a thick black Energy Shield. Diana thrust at the Energy Shield time and again, but was repelled each time. Hode was anxious; he knew there wasn't much time left. Just at this moment, he felt that the intimacy between himself and Elektra and Selene also had a new improvement, and a brand-new power surged again.
"Everyone, concentrate your power on me; I will break this Energy Shield!" Hode shouted. The three women injected their power into Hode's body without hesitation. Hode felt as if his body was about to be blown up by this powerful force, but he gritted his teeth and persisted. He quickly formed seals with his hands, and a huge Quantum Energycannon condensed in his hands.
"Go!" Hode shouted, shooting the Quantum Energy cannon towards the Demon King's chest Energy Shield. The energy cannon collided with the Energy Shield, emitting an earth-shattering loud noise. Cracks began to appear on the Energy Shield, and the Demon King let out a roar, desperately maintaining the Energy Shield. But the power of Hode and the others was too strong; the Energy Shieldfinally could not bear the burden and shattered with a bang.
Just at the moment the Energy Shield shattered, Elektraflashed, rushing towards the Demon King's chest like a ghost. Her twin blades were held high, carrying all her strength, and she slashed fiercely towards the energy core. The energy core was hit by the twin blades, emitting a dazzling light, and then began to tremble violently. The Demon King let out a desperate roar, and its body began to gradually collapse.
However, just when everyone thought victory was in sight, the Demon King suddenly let out a weird laugh. Its body began to swell rapidly, and an even more terrifying aura radiated from it...
Chapter 565: Oh no, it's about to use some new trick again
Hode's pupils contracted sharply, and a sense of foreboding welled up in his heart. It was truly beyond his imagination that this Demon King could still erupt with such a terrifying aura at the brink of death. Diana beside him also had a grave expression; she gripped the Spear of Truth in her hand tightly, crouched slightly, and prepared to respond at any time.
"Hode, this situation is not right; we must be careful." Diana said softly, her gaze locked on the Demon King all the while.
Hode nodded, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down. He could feel that the connection of power between himself and Diana, Elektra, and Selene was still there, but facing this unknown change, he was not sure if this power was enough to cope with it.
"Everyone don't panic; let's think of another way." Hodeshouted, trying to boost morale.
At this time, the Demon King's swollen body had reached an astonishing degree, and the surrounding air was compressed and distorted. Weird light kept flashing on its body, as if a mysterious power was surging.
"Hmph, whatever it's up to, let's give it a slash first!" Elektra flicked her twin blades, a look of determination revealing itself in her eyes. She flashed and rushed towards the Demon King again, her twin blades drawing sharp arcs in the air.
Selene quickly formed seals with her hands, and the surrounding Elemental Power began to stir frantically again. She controlled a huge Water tornado, sweeping towards the Demon King. Wherever the Water tornado passed, a thick layer of soil was lifted from the ground.
Tony piloted his War Armor, constantly changing positions in the air, and various high-tech weapons poured down on the Demon King like a rainstorm. Missiles, laser beams, electromagnetic pulses—various means of attack took turns.
Captain America Steve Rogers gripped his shield tightly and shouted instructions to everyone: "Everyone pay attention to coordination; do not attack blindly!"
However, the Demon King seemed to have no fear of everyone's attacks. It waved its hand lightly, and a black Energy Shield instantly enveloped its body. All attacks were easily repelled the moment they touched the Energy Shield, causing no substantial damage to it.
"This Energy Shield is too strong; our attacks are completely ineffective!" Tony shouted in the communicator, with a hint of anxiety in his tone.
Hode frowned, quickly pondering countermeasures in his heart. He felt that the intimacy between himself and the three women seemed to be able to be further tapped, and perhaps he could gain new abilities from it to break this stalemate.
"Diana, Elektra, Selene, let's try again to see if we can trigger even stronger power." Hode said, a look of determination in his eyes.
The three women looked at each other and nodded one after another. The four stood together again, holding hands tightly. Hode closed his eyes, focused his mind, and tried hard to feel that power. This time, he tried to integrate his emotions more deeply into the power, recalling every sweet moment spent with the three women; those warm images kept appearing in his mind.
Suddenly, a strange feeling surged in his heart. Hode felt that the connection of power between himself and the three women had become closer, as if their souls had merged into one. An unprecedentedly powerful energy surged within them, ready to erupt at any moment.
"Now, let's exert force together!" Hode shouted.
The four exerted force simultaneously, and that fused power rushed towards the Demon King's black Energy Shield like a volcanic eruption. The energy collided with the Energy Shield, emitting a deafening roar. The Energy Shield began to tremble violently, and cracks spread across it.
The Demon King sensed the crisis of the Energy Shield; it let out a roar and increased its energy output to the Energy Shield. The spreading speed of the cracks slowed down instantly, and it seemed to have a tendency to heal again.

"We can't let it have its way!" Elektra grit her teeth and poured her power unreservedly into Hode's body.
Selene also increased her control over the elements, causing the surrounding elements to grow even more violent, continuously battering the shield.
Diana tightly held Hode's hand, her eyes filled with trust and encouragement. She also fused her Divine Power into this combined strength.
Hode felt as if his body was about to burst from this powerful force, but he grit his teeth and held on. He had only one thought in his mind: to shatter this shield and defeat the Demon King.
Under everyone's combined efforts, more and more cracks appeared on the shield, growing deeper and deeper. Finally, with a crisp shattering sound, the shield collapsed.
"We did it!" Selene shouted excitedly.
However, the Demon King did not give them much time to celebrate. Seizing the moment the shield shattered, it launched a counterattack. It opened its massive mouth and spat out a torrent of black energy, sweeping toward everyone.
This torrent of energy was incredibly fast, devouring everything in its path. The superheroes scrambled to dodge, but a few were still grazed by the energy torrent and injured.
"Everyone, watch out! This energy torrent is too dangerous!" Captain America shouted loudly, wielding his shield to block in front of everyone.
Looking at his injured companions, Hode was filled with anger and self-reproach. He knew he had to find the Demon King's weakness as soon as possible to end this battle.
Just then, he felt that his mental connection with Dianaseemed to flow even more smoothly. He tried asking in his mind, "Diana, can you sense if this Demon King has any other weaknesses?"
Diana closed her eyes slightly, concentrating her senses. After a moment, she replied in his mind, "Hode, I feel that its head seems relatively fragile. It might be another weakness."
Hode's heart stirred, and he quickly relayed this information to the others. Upon hearing this, everyone began to devise a new tactic.
"Alright, then we will concentrate our power to attack its head," Captain America said.
The superheroes sprang into action once more. Diana and Hode coordinated with each other, rushing toward the Demon King's head. Diana brandished the Spear of Truthto draw the Demon King's attention, while Hode looked for an opportunity on the side.
Elektra moved around the perimeter, her twin blades ready at any moment to deliver a fatal blow to the Demon King. Selene manipulated the elements, forming sharp ice spikes that shot toward the Demon King's head.
Tony, piloting his War Armor, continuously fired laser beams from the air, disrupting the Demon King's movements.
The Demon King seemed to sense their intentions and reinforced the defense around its head. A layer of black mist appeared around its head, blocking both the ice spikes and the laser beams.
Hode grew anxious, knowing this couldn't go on. Just then, he felt his intimacy with Selene rise to a new level. An ability to manipulate space welled up within him.
"Selene, help me create an opportunity! I'll try using my space ability—705u.com-53 Reading Club!" Hode shouted in his mind.
Selene nodded. She increased her control over the elements, forming a massive Elemental Vortex that temporarily trapped the Demon King.
Seizing this opportunity, Hode quickly formed hand seals, and a spatial crack appeared above the Demon King's head. He shouted, "Suck it in!"
A powerful suction force generated from the spatial crack, attempting to pull the Demon King's head inside. The Demon King let out a roar, struggling desperately to break free from the suction's restraint.
Just as the two sides were at a stalemate, the Demon Kingsuddenly let out a sinister laugh. Its body began to shrink rapidly, yet the aura on its body became even more terrifying. Its eyes flashed with an eerie light, as if it could see right through everyone's hearts.
"Not good, it's about to unleash another new trick!" Tonyshouted through the communicator.
Just as he spoke, the Demon King's body suddenly vanished from the spot. The next second, it appeared behind Hode, its massive claw swiping fiercely toward Hode's back...
Chapter 566: It Seems an Even More Powerful Existence is About to Appear
Hode only felt a chill run down his spine, the intense pressure making it almost impossible to breathe. At the critical moment, a strong desire to survive surged in his heart, and the deep emotional connection between him and Diana instantly triggered some latent potential within his body.
The very instant the Demon King's claw was about to touch Hode's back, a golden light erupted from Hode's body. The light formed an invisible shield, forcefully blocking the Demon King's attack. The Demon King let out a roar of shock and anger as its claw clashed with the shield, sending bright sparks flying.
"Hode!" Seeing this, Diana panicked. The Spear of Truth in her hand shone brilliantly. With a flash of her body, she instantly arrived by Hode's side, shielding him behind her. "Are you alright?" she asked anxiously, her eyes filled with worry.
Hode panted heavily, his forehead covered in cold sweat. But seeing Diana's concerned gaze, his heart warmed, and he forced a weak smile. "I'm fine, thanks to you."
"Hmph, this monster is indeed troublesome." Elektra also rushed over quickly, her twin blades tightly gripped, her eyes full of vigilance. "But we can't let it have its way."
Selene manipulated the elements, forming an elemental shield around her as she also came to Hode's side. "Hode, how do you feel? This monster seems to have grown stronger again."
Hode nodded. He knew the situation was critical and that he had to come up with a countermeasure quickly. He concentrated, trying to sense the connection of power between himself and the three women, attempting to find a new ability to counter the Demon King.
"Don't panic, everyone. Let's think of a way together," Captain America Steve Rogers shouted loudly, brandishing his shield and staring vigilantly at the Demon King.
Tony hovered in the air in his War Armor, various weapons ready to fire at any moment. "Just how many trump cards does this monster have? We can't let our guard down."
Standing not far away, the Demon King emitted a bizarre aura, its eyes flashing with a cunning light as if plotting its next attack. It suddenly opened its massive mouth and let out a sharp screech. The sound seemed to pierce through the human soul, leaving everyone present feeling dizzy and lightheaded.
"Not good, this is a mental attack!" Diana's expression changed. She quickly concentrated her mind, using her Divine Power to protect herself and Hode.
Elektra and Selene also unleashed their respective abilities to resist this mental attack. Elektra grit her teeth, struggling to keep herself conscious, her twin blades trembling slightly to show that she was also enduring immense pressure at this moment. Selene increased her control over the elements, using Elemental Power to form a barrier in an attempt to isolate this mental shock.
Hode felt as if countless needles were pricking his mind, but thinking of every little moment spent with the three women, those beautiful memories became the source of his strength to resist the mental attack. He forced himself to calm down. Suddenly, he felt that his intimacy with Elektraseemed to have reached a new level.
An ability to perceive the enemy's weaknesses surged within his heart. Enduring the headache, he opened his eyes and stared intently at the Demon King. In his vision, the Demon King's body seemed to become transparent, and he clearly saw the flow of energy and the weak points inside its body.
"705u.com-53 Reading Club"
"Listen to me, everyone! I found its weakness!" Hodeshouted loudly.
Hearing this, everyone looked at him. Hode took a deep breath and said, "The energy flow around its heart is extremely chaotic; that should be its fatal weakness. However, it is protected by a special layer of energy. We need to attack simultaneously to break that protection."
Captain America nodded. "Alright, then we will act according to plan. Diana, you and Hode will be responsible for drawing its attention. Elektra, find an opportunity to attack from the flank. Selene, use your Elemental Power to disrupt it. Tony, provide long-range support from the air."
Everyone accepted their orders and prepared themselves.
Diana brandished the Spear of Truth and rushed toward the Demon King. She shouted, "Monster, meet your doom!" The Spear of Truth, carrying a divine light, thrust toward the Demon King.
The Demon King let out a roar, extending a claw to block Diana's attack. Diana only felt a massive force transfer over, making her arm go numb, but she grit her teeth and did not back down.
Taking the opportunity, Hode circled to the other side of the Demon King. He condensed a powerful energy in his hands and shot it toward the Demon King. The Demon King sensed Hode's attack and wanted to dodge, but Diana's assault left it with no room to spare.
Seizing the perfect moment, Elektra's figure flashed, appearing on the Demon King's flank like a ghost. Gripping her blades with both hands, she leaped high into the air and stabbed fiercely toward the Demon King's heart.
Selene quickly formed hand seals, and the surrounding elements surged wildly. She manipulated massive fireballs and ice spikes, launching them at the Demon King. The fireballs and ice spikes exploded around the Demon King, generating a powerful shockwave that disrupted its movements.
Tony piloted his War Armor, firing laser beams from the air one after another. The laser beams rained down on the Demon King's body; though they couldn't inflict fatal damage, they still caused it some pain.
The Demon King let out an angry roar, intensifying its attacks on Diana and Hode. Its claws, laden with black energy, swiped fiercely toward Diana and Hode. Diana and Hode quickly dodged, but the Demon King's attack speed was incredibly fast, and they were still grazed, leaving several wounds on their bodies.
"Hang in there, everyone! It won't last much longer!" Captain America shouted loudly from the side, brandishing his shield to provide cover for everyone.
Elektra's twin blades finally struck the Energy Shield over the Demon King's heart. The shield flashed with intense light, trying to withstand Elektra's attack. Elektra only felt a powerful counterforce surge back, causing a sharp pain in her hands, but she grit her teeth and continued to apply pressure.
Selene increased her control over the elements, fusing the fireballs and ice spikes together to form a massive energy sphere, which she launched toward the Demon King's shield. The energy sphere clashed with the shield, producing a deafening rumble. The shield's light began to dim as cracks spread across it.
Hode felt his connection of power with Selene grow even closer, from which he obtained an ability to enhance elemental attacks. He quickly transferred this power to Selene, who instantly felt her ability to control elements elevate to a whole new level.
"Now is the time!" Hode shouted.
Everyone exerted their strength once more. Elektra's twin blades finally pierced through the shield and stabbed toward the Demon King's heart. Sensing the danger, the Demon King tried to dodge, but it was already too late. Elektra's twin blades stabbed deeply into its heart, and black blood gushed out.
The Demon King let out a shrill shriek, its body trembling violently. It swung its claws frantically, wanting to attack everyone, but its strength was no longer what it used to be.
Diana seized the opportunity and leaped high into the air. The Spear of Truth in her hand, carrying a divine light, thrust toward the Demon King's head. The Spear of Truthpierced through the Demon King's head, causing its body to freeze instantly before slowly collapsing to the ground.
The ground trembled violently, kicking up a cloud of dust. Everyone let out a sigh of relief, collapsing to the ground. Looking at the wounds on each other's bodies, they all felt a sense of relief and fortune.
"We finally defeated it," Diana said, panting heavily.
Elektra shook her twin blades, a trace of exhaustion showing in her eyes. "This monster was indeed hard to deal with. It almost cost us our lives."
Selene withdrew her Elemental Power and walked to Hode's side. "Hode, are you alright? It's all thanks to you finding its weakness this time."
Hode shook his head. "Everyone played a part. If we hadn't worked together, we wouldn't have been able to defeat it."
Tony, piloting his War Armor, landed beside everyone. "Haha, we've successfully resolved another big trouble. However, there are still plenty of dangers in this World, so we can't let our guard down."
Captain America nodded. "Indeed, we cannot slack off. Although this Demon King has been defeated, we don't know if there are other dangers waiting for us."
Just then, Hode suddenly felt a wave of intense unease. He looked up at the sky, only to see that the once clear sky had suddenly turned gloomy. Dark clouds gathered, and streaks of lightning flashed through the cloud layers.
"What's going on?" Selene asked in surprise.
Hode furrowed his brows, an ominous premonition welling up in his heart. "I feel as if... an even more powerful existence is about to appear..."
Just as his voice fell, a massive black vortex suddenly appeared in the sky. A terrifying aura emanated from the vortex, as if it could devour everything. Everyone stood up, staring vigilantly at the vortex in the sky.
From the vortex, a figure slowly stepped out. It was a tall creature emitting a malevolent aura. Its eyes were like burning flames, and its body was covered in sharp spikes. With every step it took, the ground trembled.
Chapter 362
"This... what is this?" Elektra asked in terror.
Hode clenched his fists; he knew a much tougher battle was coming...
Chapter 567: Defending with the Spear of Truth
Hode's heart rate suddenly quickened. He could feel the terrifying pressure emanating from the creature that stepped out of the black vortex, several times stronger than the previous Demon King. His gaze locked tightly onto the Evil Creature, his mind racing as he thought of a countermeasure.
Diana stood beside Hode, the Spear of Truth in her hand trembling slightly. She whispered, "Hode, this thing looks even more troublesome than the previous Demon King. We must be careful." Her voice was steady and firm, but Hode could hear a hint of hidden tension.
Hode took a deep breath, trying to calm himself. He looked at Diana, a flash of tenderness in his eyes. "Diana, don't be afraid. We can definitely defeat it. Just like how we beat the Demon King before, as long as we work together." Diananodded slightly, the fighting spirit reignited in her eyes.
Elektra gripped her twin blades tightly, crouching slightly in a posture ready to attack at any moment. She gritted her teeth and said, "I don't care what it is. If it dares to cause trouble, I'll make sure it never leaves!" Her eyes revealed a sense of determination, as if she were ready to fight this Evil Creature to the Death.
Selene manipulated the surrounding elements, forming layer after layer of Elemental Shields around her. Her expression was grave as she said, "The aura on this thing is very eerie. Even controlling the elements feels a bit difficult. Everyone, be careful of its attacks."
Tony was piloting his War Armor, circling in the air with various weapon systems activated, emitting a low hum. He shouted, "Hey, everyone don't panic! The weapons on my armor aren't just for show. When it gets close, I'll give it a blast!"
Captain America Steve Rogers brandished his shield and shouted, "Everyone, maintain formation and cooperate. Hode, you observe its weaknesses, and we'll devise a tactic based on the situation."
The Evil Creature slowly approached, its eyes like burning flames scanning the group. Suddenly, it let out a deafening roar, filled with anger and provocation. Then, in a flash, it appeared in front of Diana, a massive claw carrying black energy swiping toward her.
Diana reacted quickly. She dodged to the side while thrusting the Spear of Truth at the creature's claw. The Spear of Truth collided with the claw, producing a piercing metallic screech. Diana felt a massive force transmit from the tip of the spear; her arm went numb, and her body involuntarily retreated a few steps.
Seeing this, Hode's heart tightened. He concentrated, trying to feel the emotional connection with Diana, attempting to gain a new ability from it. Suddenly, he felt the emotional bond between him and Diana grow even tighter, and an ability to enhance defense flooded into his body. He quickly transferred this power to Diana. Diana felt an invisible shield appear around her, and the force of the Evil Creature's attack was greatly weakened.
"Diana, hold on!" Hode shouted.
Diana gritted her teeth. Feeling the power Hode had sent her, her heart warmed, and her determination to fight grew even stronger. She gripped the Spear of Truth with both hands and thrust it hard at the Evil Creature's claw. The Spear of Truth collided with the claw, sending sparks flying.
Meanwhile, Elektra saw her chance. Moving like lightning, she charged at the Evil Creature from the side. Her twin blades flashed with a cold light as she slashed at the creature's leg. The creature sensed Elektra's attack and tried to turn to defend, but Diana's assault kept it occupied. Elektra's blades struck the creature's leg, but only left a shallow wound.
"This creature's defense is too strong!" Elektra was startled, but she didn't back down, continuing her assault.
Selene manipulated the elements, forming a massive Elemental Storm around her. With a wave of her hands, the storm swept toward the Evil Creature. The storm was laced with fire, frost, and lightning, constantly battering the creature's body. Enveloped by the storm, the creature let out an angry howl, swinging its claws to try and disperse the storm, but the gale only grew more violent.
Tony piloted his War Armor, continuously firing Laser Beams and Missiles from the air. The lasers and Missiles fell like rain on the creature's body. Although they couldn't deal fatal damage, they still caused it some pain.
"Keep it up, everyone! This creature might be powerful, but it's not invincible!" Tony shouted.
However, the Evil Creature seemed to be enraged by everyone's attacks. It suddenly stopped attacking, and a black mist began to emanate from its body. The mist spread rapidly, enveloping everyone. Their vision blurred, and breathing became difficult.
"Not good, there's something wrong with this mist!" Seleneshouted.
Hode felt his body becoming heavy and his consciousness blurring. But thinking of every little moment spent with the three women, those beautiful memories became the source of his strength to resist the mist's erosion. He struggled to stay awake. Suddenly, he felt his intimacy with Selenereach a new level.
An ability to purify negative energy surged in his heart. He quickly unleashed this power, and a soft light radiated from him, dispersing the mist around him.
"Everyone, get close to me! I can purify this mist!" Hodeshouted.
Hearing Hode's shout, everyone gathered around him. Under the shroud of Hode's light, the mist around them gradually dissipated, and the physical discomfort slowly vanished.
"Hode, great job!" Diana said.
Seeing the mist dispersed, the Evil Creature roared again. It charged toward Hode, clearly intending to eliminate the one who could threaten it first.
Hode concentrated, feeling the even stronger power connection between him and the three women. With a wave of his hands, a massive Energy Shield appeared before them. The creature's claws slammed hard against the shield, which trembled violently but did not break.
"Take the chance to attack!" Captain America shouted.
Diana brandished the Spear of Truth again, thrusting it at the creature's chest. Elektra attacked from the side, her twin blades slashing at the creature's neck like lightning. Selene manipulated the elements, forming sharp Ice Spears that shot toward the creature. Tony fired his strongest Laser Beam from the air, striking the creature's head directly.
0---Requesting Flowers---
The creature felt the group's attacks and tried to dodge, but found its body bound by an invisible force. It turned out that Hode had used the power connection with the three women to cast a Binding Skill.
The creature let out a desperate roar, struggling frantically, but the group's attacks came like a tide, wave after wave. Diana's Spear of Truth pierced the creature's chest, Elektra's twin blades slashed its neck, Selene's Ice Spears penetrated its body, and Tony's Laser Beam hit its head.
The creature's body began to shake violently, and black blood gushed from its wounds. Its power rapidly dissipated under everyone's assault, and its body gradually grew weak.
However, just when everyone thought victory was assured, the creature suddenly let out an eerie laugh. Its body began to undergo a strange transformation; its originally tall frame gradually shrank, but it became more solid, and the evil aura on its body grew even more intense.
...0...
"Not good, it's about to transform!" Hode shouted.
Everyone's heart tightened; they knew the upcoming battle would be even tougher. Once the creature's transformation was complete, its speed and power were greatly enhanced. It vanished instantly from its spot and reappeared behind Diana, its claws swiping at her with immense force.
Diana reacted quickly, turning to defend with the Spear of Truth. But the creature's power was too great, and she was sent flying.
"Diana!" Hode's heart tightened. He wanted to rush to her aid, but the creature vanished again and appeared right in front of him. Its claws swiped toward his head. Hode felt an overwhelming pressure bearing down on him, and he didn't even have time to dodge.
At this critical moment, Elektra appeared before Hode, using her own body to block the creature's attack. The creature's claws caught Elektra's shoulder, and blood instantly stained her clothes red.
"Elektra!" Hode roared, a surge of intense anger and self-reproach rising within him. He concentrated, trying to feel the deeper emotional connection with the three women, and an ability to control time faintly emerged in his heart.
With a wave of his hands, time around them seemed to freeze for a moment. The creature's movements also stopped. Hode took the opportunity to pull Elektra and Diana back.
"Everyone be careful, this creature is too powerful. We must come up with a new plan," Hode said.
The group gathered together again, looking at the creature temporarily bound by the Time Stasis, their hearts filled with gravity. They knew this battle was far from over; a greater challenge lay ahead. As the creature gradually recovered from the Time Stasis, it stared at them malevolently with its burning eyes. A more heart-pounding battle was about to begin... righteousness.
Chapter 568: Containing an Extremely Evil Power
Hode looked at the blood continuously seeping from Elektra's shoulder, heartache and anger intertwining in his soul. He gently supported Elektra to the side, letting her lean against him, and shouted to Selene, "Selene, quick, help treat Elektra!"
Selene quickly manipulated the elements, a soft green light radiating from her hands to cover Elektra's wound. Elektrafrowned slightly, but her eyes held determination. "Hode, I'm fine. We can't let this monster continue to be so arrogant."
Hode took a deep breath, trying to calm down. He looked at the creature about to break free from the Time Stasis, his mind racing. He understood that relying solely on existing abilities would make it hard to completely defeat this powerful enemy. To gain even greater power, he had to further deepen his emotional connection with the three women.
He gently took Elektra's hand and said softly, "Elektra, thank you for taking that hit for me. We will definitely get through this." Elektra looked at Hode, her eyes full of love. "I believe in you, Hode." At that moment of eye contact in the "705u.com-53 Reading Club" instant, Hode felt his intimacy with Elektra increase again, and an ability to enhance his own speed flooded into his body.
At this moment, the creature finally broke free from the Time Stasis. It let out a roar and charged at the group again. Hode's eyes turned cold as he felt the newly acquired speed ability surging within him. He flickered and appeared instantly at the creature's side, condensing a powerful energy in his hand and blasting it toward the creature's leg.
The creature was hit by this sudden attack, its body swaying slightly. But it quickly reacted, turning to pounce on Hode. Relying on his new speed advantage, Hodenimbly dodged the creature's attacks while constantly looking for a chance to counter.
Seeing Hode maneuvering around the creature, Diana's fighting spirit burned even brighter. She gripped the Spear of Truth and shouted, "Hode, I'll help you!" She leaped forward, charging at the creature, the Spear of Truthpiercing toward its back with great force.
The creature sensed Diana's attack and tried to turn to defend, but Hode launched a fierce round of attacks at that moment, drawing its attention. Diana's Spear of Truthsuccessfully pierced the creature's back. The creature let out a painful roar and swung violently, throwing Dianaaway.
Hode's heart tightened. He quickly flew toward Diana and caught her. "Diana, are you alright?" Hode asked with concern. Diana shook her head, "I'm fine, keep fighting!"
Just then, Selene manipulated the elements, forming a massive Elemental Vortex that swept toward the creature. The creature was sucked into the vortex, its body continuously battered by various elements. It struggled desperately, trying to break free from the vortex's binding, but to no avail.
AI Model: gemini-3.1-flash-lite
Tony piloted his War Armor, continuously firing various weapons into the air. Laser Beams and Missiles fell upon the creature like raindrops, causing its injuries to worsen. However, the creature suddenly let out a bizarre laugh, and a black light radiated from around its body, actually beginning to absorb the energy of the surrounding elements.
"Oh no, it's absorbing energy to recover!" Selene shouted.
Hode's heart sank; he knew he had to stop the creature as soon as possible. He focused his mind, striving to feel a deeper emotional connection with the three women. He felt the emotional bond between himself and Dianabecome even stronger, and an ability to manipulate gravity surfaced in his mind.
With a wave of his hands, a powerful gravitational field appeared around the creature. The creature's body was instantly forced downward by the gravity. It struggled to break free from the constraints of the gravitational field, but found its body becoming heavier and heavier.
"Everyone, take this chance, attack with everything you've got!" Hode shouted loudly.
Diana swung her Spear of Truth again, thrusting it toward the creature's head. Elektra rushed in from another direction, her twin blades flashing with a cold light as she slashed at the creature's waist. Selene manipulated the elements, forming a massive pillar of fire and spraying it toward the creature. Tony fired his strongest energy cannon from the air, striking the creature directly in the heart.
The creature felt their attacks and let out a desperate roar. It tried with all its might to break free from the gravitational field, but their attacks had already landed on its body. Diana's Spear of Truth pierced its head, Elektra's twin blades severed its waist, Selene's pillar of fire scorched it black, and Tony's energy cannon blasted a huge hole in its heart.
The creature's body began to tremble violently, and black blood gushed out continuously. Its power dissipated rapidly under their attacks, and its body gradually became illusory. However, just when everyone thought victory was in sight, the creature's body suddenly exploded, and a powerful energy Impact spread in all directions.
Hode was startled. He hurriedly unleashed all the abilities he had previously acquired, forming a massive shield to protect everyone inside. The energy Impact crashed against the shield, emitting deafening roars. The shield trembled violently but did not break.
When the energy Impact passed, everyone looked at the scene of devastation around them and breathed a sigh of relief. But Hode knew that this battle might not be truly over. He looked at the black energy core left behind after the creature exploded, his heart filled with vigilance.
"There might still be some hidden danger in this core, everyone be careful," Hode said.
Just then, the black energy core suddenly began to flicker, and an evil aura emanated from within. Everyone gripped their weapons tightly, preparing to meet a new challenge.
Suddenly, a black beam of light shot out from the energy core, aimed at Hode... Hode hurriedly dodged to the side, but the beam seemed to have a life of its own, chasing him closely. He kept changing his position while thinking of a countermeasure.
Seeing Hode in danger, Diana swung her Spear of Truthand charged toward the black beam. The Spear of Truthcollided with the beam, emitting a dazzling light. But the beam was not blocked; instead, it bypassed the Spear of Truth and continued shooting toward Hode.
Elektra also rushed over, gripping her twin blades with both hands and slashing at the beam. The blades struck the beam, but left only a shallow mark.
Selene manipulated the elements, forming an ice wall in an attempt to block the beam. But the beam pierced through the ice wall without losing any speed.
Tony fired a Laser Beam from the air, wanting to destroy the beam, but the laser was absorbed by it, instead making the beam's power even stronger.
Hode was extremely anxious; he knew he had to come up with a solution as soon as possible. Just then, he suddenly felt his emotional connection with the three women reach a new height. An ability to manipulate space surged within his heart.
With a wave of his hands, the surrounding space began to distort. The black beam lost its way in the distorted space and finally vanished into the void.
"That was close!" Diana breathed a sigh of relief.
However, the black energy core did not stop flickering. It suddenly released a powerful suction, pulling everything around it toward itself. Everyone steadied themselves, but some smaller objects were sucked into the core.
"What exactly does this core want to do?" Elektra asked with a frown.
Hode stared intently at the energy core; he felt an extremely evil power contained within it. He knew that if he didn't deal with this core soon, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Everyone, let's attack together and destroy it completely!" Hode shouted.
Everyone gathered together again and launched their most violent attack toward the black energy core. Diana's Spear of Truth, Elektra's twin blades, Selene's Elemental Powerattacks, Tony's War Armor weapons, and Hode's newly acquired space manipulation ability—all their powers converged and blasted toward the core.
The black energy core began to tremble violently under their attacks, and the suction it released grew weaker and weaker. Finally, amidst a dazzling light, the core exploded and turned into countless fragments.
Everyone looked at the dissipating energy core and breathed a sigh of relief. But Hode knew that this battle against evil was far from over. He looked at Diana, Elektra, and Selene beside him, his heart filled with gratitude and determination. He knew that as long as they loved and supported each other, they would definitely be able to overcome any difficulty.
Just then, an alarm sounded from the distance. Hode and the others looked at each other; they knew a new challenge had arrived...
Chapter 569 Doesn't Look Like Much
Hode's brows were tightly furrowed; the alarm sounded like heavy drumbeats, striking his taut nerves one after another. "It seems this calm is only temporary," he whispered, his gaze sweeping over Diana, Elektra, and Selene beside him. Their eyes also revealed determination and courage.
Diana gripped the Spear of Truth in her hand, the tip flashing with a cold light in the sunlight. "No matter what is coming, we can handle it." Her voice was steady and powerful, as if it could dispel all fear.
Elektra gently wiped the blood off her twin blades, the corners of her mouth slightly raised in a confident smile. "That's right, with us here, there's nothing to be afraid of." Her eyes were full of fighting spirit, as if she couldn't wait to face the new enemy.
Selene quickly formed hand seals, and the surrounding elements began to surge faintly. "I will use my Elemental Power to pave a path for everyone." Her voice was ethereal and firm, as if she were one with nature.
Tony's War Armor emitted a slight humming sound. He said through the communicator, "Guys, I've activated the War Armor's reconnaissance system; we'll soon know what's triggering the alarm."
Before long, Tony's voice came again: "There is an unidentified object from outer space approaching Earth at high speed. It looks like it doesn't come with good intentions."
Hode took a deep breath, and a sense of mission surged in his heart. "No matter what it is, we cannot let it threaten Earth." He turned to look at the three women. "Let's go and meet this uninvited guest."
Everyone acted quickly, rushing toward the spot where the unidentified object was about to land. Along the way, Hode's mind was filled with thoughts. He knew that the emotional connection with the three women had already granted him powerful abilities, but facing an unknown enemy, he didn't know if these abilities were enough.
"Hode, don't worry." Diana seemed to perceive his thoughts and said softly, "We will always be by your side, facing any difficulty together."
Hode felt a warmth in his heart. He held Diana's hand. "With you here, I'm not afraid of anything." Just then, he felt the emotional bond between himself and Diana tighten a little more, and an ability to enhance defensive power quietly merged into his body.
When they arrived at their destination, they saw a massive alien spaceship descending slowly. The spaceship radiated an eerie purple light that made people shudder.
"It looks like this is the guy we have to deal with." Elektragripped her twin blades with both hands, her body leaning slightly forward, ready to strike at any moment.
Selene manipulated the elements, forming a layer of shield around everyone. "Everyone be careful, this spaceship doesn't look simple."
Tony's War Armor flashed with light, and various weapon systems were ready. "Let me test its depth first." Saying this, he fired a Laser Beam, shooting it toward the spaceship.
However, as the Laser Beam approached the spaceship, it was blocked by an invisible Energy Shield, emitting a "sizzling" sound.
"It seems ordinary attacks are ineffective against it." Hodefrowned. He began to strive to feel a deeper emotional connection with the three women, hoping to obtain more powerful abilities.
Just then, the spaceship's hatch slowly opened, and a group of strange-looking Alien Creatures walked out. They were tall, their bodies emitting a metallic luster, their eyes flashing with red light, and they held various bizarre weapons in their hands.
"Are these the alien invaders?" Elektra sneered. "They don't look like much."
The Alien Creatures let out a sharp cry and rushed toward the group. Hode's eyes sharpened. He felt a new change in the emotion between himself and Elektra, and an ability to manipulate lightning surfaced in his heart.
With a wave of his hands, dark clouds immediately gathered in the sky, and bolts of lightning descended from the heavens, striking toward the Alien Creatures. The Alien Creatures were hit by the lightning and their bodies trembled slightly, but they soon returned to normal and continued rushing toward the group.
"It seems this lightning has limited damage against them." Hode thought to himself. He quickly adjusted his strategy, standing back-to-back with the three women to jointly deal with the Alien Creatures' attacks.
Diana swung her Spear of Truth, each swing repelling several Alien Creatures. Her movements were smooth and elegant, as if she were dancing a dance of Death.
Elektra, like an agile cheetah, wove through the group of Alien Creatures, her twin blades constantly swinging, reaping the lives of the Alien Creatures. Her eyes were filled with murderous intent, as if these Alien Creatureswere her mortal enemies.
Selene manipulated the elements, forming blades of wind and arrows of water, shooting them toward the Alien Creatures. Her attacks were flexible and varied, making it impossible for the Alien Creatures to defend against them.
Tony circled in the air, firing various weapons to provide fire support for the group on the ground. His War Armorflashed with a dazzling light during the battle, as if it were a shining meteor.
However, the number of Alien Creatures was increasing, and the group gradually felt some strain. Hode was extremely anxious; he knew he had to find the Alien Creatures' weakness as soon as possible, otherwise, they were likely to fall into a desperate situation.
Just as he was struggling to think, he suddenly felt his emotional connection with Selene reach a new height. An ability to perceive the enemy's weakness surged in his heart.
He closed his eyes, focused his mind, and began to feel the energy flow of the Alien Creatures. Before long, he opened his eyes, a glimmer of surprise flashing in them. "Their weakness is that energy core in their chests!"
Hearing Hode's words, everyone's spirits lifted. They began to adjust their attack direction, striking at the energy core in the Alien Creatures' chests.
Diana seized the moment, lunging forward, and the Spear of Truth pierced deeply into an Alien Creature's chest. With a "boom," the Alien Creature's body exploded, turning into a cloud of black smoke.
Elektra was not to be outdone; she flexibly circled behind an Alien Creature, stabbing with both blades simultaneously, accurately hitting its energy core. The Alien Creature let out a shriek and fell to the ground.
Selene manipulated the elements, forming a massive pillar of fire and shooting it into the group of Alien Creatures. Wherever the pillar of fire went, the Alien Creatures' energy cores exploded one after another, a truly spectacular scene.
Tony fired a special Missile from the air, which accurately hit an Alien Creature's energy core, triggering a series of explosions.
Through their collective efforts, the number of Alien Creatures gradually decreased. However, just when they thought victory was in sight, a massive beam of energy suddenly shot out from the spaceship, heading toward them.
