Chapter 366
Hode smiled and replied, "Iron Man, you've come at just the right time. This guy is not easy to deal with."
Captain America followed closely behind, holding his shield with a determined gaze, "Hode, we won't let this evil guy have its way. Let's defeat it together."
Superman flew out from another warship, his body radiating powerful energy, "Hode, let us fight side by side and protect this World."
Hode was filled with emotion; he knew that with so many powerful partners by his side, they would surely be able to defeat this evil guy.
He shouted to everyone, "Partners, let's go together, break its defense, and eliminate it completely."
The battle broke out once again, and members of the Avengers and the Justice League unleashed their abilities.
Iron Man fired lasers toward the evil shadow; Captain America brandished his shield, rushing forward for close-quarters combat with the shadow; Superman moved as fast as lightning around the shadow, searching for an opportunity to attack.
Hode did not stay idle either; he coordinated closely with Diana, Elektra, and Selene.
He felt the intimacy between himself and the three women constantly increasing during the battle, and new abilities kept emerging.
He pondered in his heart how to utilize these abilities to better coordinate with his teammates.
"Diana, use your Lasso of Truth to restrict its movements. Elektra, you attack from the side. Selene, use your magic to weaken its defense. I will lead the attack," Hode quickly issued the commands.
Diana nodded, and the Lasso of Truth, like a bolt of golden lightning, coiled toward the shadow's legs.
The shadow noticed Diana's attack and tried to dodge, but the Lasso of Truth was extremely fast, instantly binding its legs.
Elektra, like a ghost, rushed up from the side, her weapon gleaming with a cold light as she stabbed toward the shadow's arm.
The shadow swung hard, trying to shake Elektra off, but Elektra dodged the shadow's counterattack with agility, launching another attack simultaneously.
Selene formed hand seals, chanting under her breath, and mysterious beams of magic shot toward the shadow.
The magic light struck the shadow, leaving black marks on its body and weakening its defense.
Hode seized the opportunity, gathering all his strength, and punched the shadow's chest.
This punch condensed the deep affection and powerful strength shared between him and the three women, and his fist radiated a dazzling light.
The shadow was knocked back a few steps by this punch, but it quickly steadied itself.
"Hmph, is that all you've got?" the shadow said arrogantly, simultaneously waving its hands, causing black Energy Shields to appear around it.
Seeing this, Iron Man fired a missile toward the Energy Shield.
The missile hit the shield, causing a huge explosion, but the shield only shook slightly and was not broken.
"This shield is too sturdy; we need to find a way," Iron Mansaid.
Hode's heart stirred; he felt that the intimacy between him and Diana seemed to have reached a new level, and a new ability surfaced in his mind.
He shouted to Diana, "Diana, use your Lasso of Truth to channel my power; let's try to break this shield."
Diana nodded, and the Lasso of Truth quickly wrapped around Hode's arm.
Hode felt a powerful force coming from the Lasso of Truth; he gathered all his strength and punched the Energy Shield.
This punch merged with the power of the Lasso of Truth, and his fist radiated an even more dazzling light.
Under their combined attack, the Energy Shield began to show cracks.
Finally, with a "boom," the shield was shattered.
"Well done, Hode!" Captain America shouted, waving his shield and rushing toward the shadow.
The shadow was furious and humiliated; it flashed and instantly appeared in front of Superman, throwing its huge fist toward him.
Superman reacted quickly, crossing his arms in front of him to block the shadow's attack, but he was also knocked back a few steps by the force.
"Everyone, be careful; this guy is very fast and has great strength," Superman warned.
Hode observed the shadow's movements and discovered that it had a brief pause after every attack.
His heart stirred, and he shouted to everyone, "After it attacks again, there will be a pause; let's seize this opportunity to attack together."
Everyone nodded and prepared immediately.
The shadow roared again, waving its hands, and black energy blades shot toward the crowd.
Everyone quickly dodged while waiting for the shadow's pause.
The shadow indeed had a brief pause after finishing its attack.
Hode shouted, "Now!"
He rushed up first, punching the shadow's abdomen.
Diana's Lasso of Truth also coiled around the shadow's body, restricting its movements.
Elektra, like lightning, circled behind the shadow, her weapon stabbing toward its back.
Selene cast magic, and beams of light enveloped the shadow, weakening its power.
The members of the Avengers and the Justice League also launched attacks; Iron Man's lasers, Captain America's shield attack, Superman's Heat Vision, and more all shot toward the shadow.
Under the combined attack of the group, the shadow began to tremble violently.
It wanted to counterattack, but it was too late.
Beams of energy, weapon attacks, and magic light struck various vital parts of the shadow.
However, the shadow was not so easily defeated.
It suddenly let out a roar, and the black energy on its body surged wildly, forming a huge Energy Shield that blocked everyone's attacks.
"This shield is too powerful; our attacks seem to have little effect on it," Hulk said, his muscles swelling with anger.
Hode was extremely anxious; he knew that continuing like this was not a solution.
He closed his eyes and felt with his heart the deep affection shared with Diana, Elektra, and Selene; those memories of fighting together flooded his mind like a tide.
He felt a new power surging within his body; this power seemed to have some mysterious connection with their intimacy.
He opened his eyes, a determined light flashing in them.
"Partners, let's try one more time; let's fuse our power to the limit and break this shield," Hode shouted loudly.
Hearing Hode's shout, everyone immediately focused their minds, channeling their power into Hode.
Hode felt this powerful force; he exerted all his strength, condensing a huge energy ball between his hands.
The energy ball radiated a dazzling light, as if it contained endless power.
"Everyone together, channel your energy into this energy ball!" Hode shouted.
Everyone channeled their power into the energy ball, which grew larger and larger, its light becoming increasingly dazzling.
The shadow sensed danger and wanted to attack to stop them, but it was restricted by Diana's Lasso of Truth.
"Now, fire!" Hode shouted, pushing with both hands and shooting the energy ball toward the shadow's shield.
The energy ball hit the shield, causing a huge explosion.
Under the impact of the energy ball, the shield began to show cracks.
Finally, with a "boom," the shield was completely shattered.
The shadow was knocked back a few steps by the impact of the energy ball; wounds appeared on its body, and black energy poured out from them.
"No, impossible! How could you break my shield?" the shadow roared in anger.
Hode and the others did not give it a chance to breathe; they launched another attack.
Beams of energy, weapon attacks, and magic light shot toward the shadow.
Under the group's attack, the shadow gradually lost the ability to resist, and finally, it let out a shrill scream as its body began to slowly dissipate.
However, just when everyone thought they had won, a huge crack suddenly appeared in the sky, and a more evil aura emanated from the crack...
Chapter 579: Seemingly containing the power of the entire Universe
Hode watched the slowly dissipating shadow, but his heart did not relax in the slightest.
The suddenly appearing crack and the evil aura emanating from it made him feel that a more terrifying crisis was approaching.
"Everyone, be careful; it's not over yet," Hode shouted to warn everyone, his eyes fixed vigilantly on the crack in the sky.
Diana gripped the Lasso of Truth tightly and walked to Hode's side, "Hode, no matter what we face next, we will face it together."
Her voice was gentle and firm, her eyes full of trust in Hode.
Hode turned to look at her, and a warm current surged in his heart; he could feel that the intimacy between him and Diana seemed to have undergone a subtle change, and a new power was faintly surging within him.
Elektra crossed her arms, a playful smile curling on her lips, "Hey, Hode, this is getting more interesting; I wonder what kind of monster will crawl out of this crack."
Her eyes revealed excitement and anticipation, and she seemed full of fighting spirit for the upcoming challenge.
Hode looked at her and pondered secretly; the little moments spent with Elektra kept surfacing, and that unique affection made him look forward to the new power even more.
Selene formed hand seals rapidly, and the surrounding runes flickered more urgently, "This evil aura is far more powerful than that previous guy; we must be fully prepared."
Her face was full of gravity, but her eyes revealed an unyielding stubbornness.
Hode felt the tacit understanding between him and Selene, and an unprecedented power condensed in his heart.
Iron Man flew to the group, the War Armor on his body flickering with light, "Hode, it seems we've run into big trouble this time. However, with us, the Avengers and the Justice League, and you partners, we will definitely overcome this difficulty."
His voice was full of confidence, but Hode could detect a hint of hidden worry.
Captain America held his shield, gazing firmly at the crack, "That's right, we cannot let this evil power harm the World. Hode, what is your plan?"
His eyes were full of trust in Hode, as if Hode were the core of this battle.
Superman flew in front of Hode, his body radiating powerful energy, "Hode, let us fight side by side again and protect this World."
His eyes were full of justice and determination, making Hode feel incredibly energized.
Just as everyone was discussing countermeasures, a huge black claw suddenly reached out from the crack, covered in sharp nails and exuding a chilling aura.
Immediately after, a huge figure slowly walked out of the crack; its body was as tall as a small mountain, covered in black scales, its eyes glowing with red light, and it kept emitting low roars from its mouth.
"Is this the new enemy? It looks much harder to deal with than the previous guy," Hode thought to himself, while feeling the surge of new power within his body.
He turned to look at Diana, Elektra, and Selene, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes, "Partners, let's go together and see just how powerful this monster is."
The battle broke out instantly, and Iron Man fired lasers first, shooting toward the monster's body.
The monster let out a roar, waving its huge claws and easily blocking the lasers.
Captain America brandished his shield and rushed toward the monster's legs, attempting to trip it.
The monster noticed Captain America's attack, lifted a foot, and stomped toward Captain America.
Captain America rolled quickly, dodging the monster's attack, while tapping his shield on the ground and using the rebound force to rush toward the monster again.
Superman, like lightning, flew in front of the monster and punched its chest.
The monster extended its other claw, blocking Superman's attack, then swung hard, throwing Superman away.
Superman steadied himself in mid-air and rushed toward the monster again.
Hode coordinated closely with Diana, Elektra, and Selene.
Diana's Lasso of Truth, like golden lightning, coiled toward the monster's arm.
The monster tried to dodge, but the Lasso of Truth was extremely fast, instantly binding its arm.
Elektra, like a ghost, rushed up from the side, her weapon gleaming with cold light as she stabbed toward the monster's leg.
The monster swung hard, trying to shake Elektra off, but Elektra dodged the monster's counterattack with agility, launching another attack simultaneously.
Selene formed hand seals, chanting under her breath, and mysterious beams of magic shot toward the monster.
The magic light struck the monster, leaving black marks on its body and weakening its defense.
Hode seized this opportunity, gathering all his strength and simultaneously mobilizing the new ability gained from his intimacy with the three women; his body glowed with colorful light as he punched the monster's head.
The monster was knocked back a few steps by this punch, but it quickly steadied itself.
It let out a roar, the black scales on its body suddenly standing up, and black energy waves shot out from the scales toward the group.
The group quickly dodged while searching for the monster's weakness.
"This guy's attacks are too fierce; we must find its weakness," Hode shouted, observing the monster's movements.
He discovered that after every attack, the scales on the monster's chest would loosen for a split second.
"Diana, use your Lasso of Truth to restrict its movements. Elektra, you and I will attack the scales on its chest. Selene, use your magic to interfere with its vision," Hode quickly issued the commands.
Diana nodded, and the Lasso of Truth quickly wrapped around the monster's body, restricting its movements.
Elektra and Hode took this opportunity to rush toward the monster's chest.
The monster noticed their attack and struggled violently, trying to break free from the restraint of the Lasso of Truth.
Selene formed hand seals, and beams of psychedelic magic light shot toward the monster's eyes.
The monster was interfered with by the magic light, and its vision became blurry.
Hode and Elektra seized this opportunity and launched their attacks simultaneously.
Hode gathered all his strength and punched the scales on the monster's chest.
Elektra waved her weapon and stabbed toward the gaps between the scales.
The monster let out a scream; the scales on its chest were broken, and black blood gushed out.
It roared angrily, and the black energy on its body surged wildly, forming a huge Energy Vortex that swept toward the group.
"Everyone, be careful!" Hode shouted, simultaneously unleashing his new ability to form a colorful shield in front of the group.
The Energy Vortex hit the shield, causing a huge explosion, but the shield held firmly against the attack.
"Well done, Hode!" Captain America shouted, brandishing his shield and rushing toward the monster.
The members of the Avengers and the Justice League also launched attacks; Iron Man's lasers, Captain America's shield attack, Superman's Heat Vision, and more all shot toward the monster.
Under the combined attack of the group, the monster began to tremble violently.
It wanted to counterattack, but it was too late.
Beams of energy, weapon attacks, and magic light struck various vital parts of the monster.
However, the monster was not so easily defeated.
It suddenly let out a roar, and the black energy on its body gathered wildly, forming a huge energy beam that shot toward the group.
Everyone quickly dodged, but the energy beam was extremely fast, and some people were still hit, suffering varying degrees of injury.
Hode looked at his injured companions, his heart filled with anger.
He closed his eyes, feeling the deep bond he shared with Diana, Elektra, and Selene, and memories of fighting together flashed through his mind like a movie.
He felt an unprecedented, powerful force surging within him, a force that seemed as if it would burst him apart.
He opened his eyes, and a dazzling light flickered within them.
"Companions, let's try again. Let's fuse our powers to the limit and completely destroy this monster," Hode shouted.
Hearing Hode's shout, everyone immediately focused their minds, channeling their power into Hode.
Feeling this immense force, Hode unleashed his full strength, condensing a massive beam of energy between his hands.
The energy beam radiated with colorful light, as if it contained the power of the entire Universe.
"Everyone, together, pour your energy into this energy beam!" Hode shouted.
Everyone poured their power into the energy beam, causing it to grow larger and its light to become even more dazzling.
The monster sensed the danger and tried to launch an attack to stop them, but its movements were restricted by Diana's Lasso of Truth.
"Now, fire!" Hode yelled, pushing forward with both hands to launch the energy beam toward the monster.
The energy beam struck the monster, producing an earth-shattering explosion.
The light illuminated the entire sky, making it impossible to look directly at it.
As the light gradually dissipated, everyone saw that the monster had vanished without a trace, leaving behind only a patch of scorched earth.
However, just as everyone thought they had won, the massive crack in the sky did not disappear; instead, it became even larger, and the evil aura emanating from it grew stronger...
Chapter 580: We Must Protect This World
Hode looked at the still-menacing crack, his brows furrowed tightly, and a sense of foreboding welled up in his heart.
He turned to look at his companions.
Although Diana's face showed a hint of fatigue, her eyes remained firm, and the Lasso of Truth flickered with a faint light in her hand.
Elektra wore her playful smile, but her eyes held a hint of gravity.
Selene's hands trembled slightly, and the light of her runes was dim, clearly indicating that the previous battle had exhausted much of her magic.
"The crack hasn't disappeared. It seems the real trouble is yet to come," Hode said in a low voice, his tone heavy.
Iron Man flew to Hode's side, the indicator lights on his War Armor flickering rapidly: "Hode, this crack looks increasingly dangerous. We need to think of a way to deal with it quickly."
His voice held a hint of anxiety; after all, having experienced countless battles, this unknown crisis made even him feel uneasy.
Captain America held his shield, his gaze fixed on the crack: "No matter what comes out of there, we must protect this World."
His eyes were filled with a sense of mission, as if he were declaring to everyone that he would not take a single step back.
Superman flew in front of the group, a powerful energy fluctuation radiating from his body: "Hode, we cannot sit idly by. We must take the initiative."
His voice was filled with the power of justice, stirring a sense of courage in everyone's hearts.
Hode nodded, though he was busy contemplating a countermeasure in his mind.
Just then, a low roar suddenly erupted from the crack, a sound that seemed to come from the depths of hell, making one's blood run cold.
Immediately after, a massive black tentacle extended from the crack, covered in dense spikes and emitting a nauseating odor.
"What kind of monster is this again!" Elektra exclaimed, gripping her weapon involuntarily.
Selene formed hand seals quickly, and the surrounding runes began to flicker again: "Everyone, be careful. This aura is even more powerful than the previous monster."
Hode took a deep breath; he knew this battle would be even tougher.
He turned to look at Diana, his eyes filled with tenderness and determination: "Diana, let's face this together."
Diana nodded slightly, and the Lasso of Truth flickered with golden light once more, as if responding to Hode's resolve.
The tentacle swept toward the group with such speed that they barely had time to react.
Iron Man fired a series of lasers at the tentacle.
However, upon striking the tentacle, the lasers only produced black sparks, causing no substantial damage.
As the tentacle continued its sweep, Captain Americaquickly raised his shield, blocking in front of the group.
The shield collided with the tentacle with a loud bang, and Captain America was knocked back several steps.
Like lightning, Superman flew to the side of the tentacle and punched it.
The tentacle was knocked back slightly by Superman's punch, but it quickly recovered and tried to coil around him.
Superman nimbly dodged the tentacle's entanglement while launching continuous attacks, but the tentacle seemed to possess infinite power, constantly striking back.
Hode worked in close coordination with Diana, Elektra, and Selene.
Diana's Lasso of Truth lashed out at the tentacle, attempting to restrict its movements.
Sensing the attack, the tentacle quickly retreated, dodging the Lasso.
Like a ghost, Elektra rushed in from the side, thrusting her weapon at the tentacle.
The tentacle lashed out, throwing Elektra away.
She steadied herself in mid-air and rushed toward the tentacle again.
Selene formed hand seals and chanted, sending mysterious magical light toward the tentacle.
The magical light struck the tentacle, leaving black marks on it and weakening its power.
Seizing this opportunity, Hode gathered all his strength and activated the new ability gained from his intimacy with the three women.
With colorful light flickering around his body, he punched the tentacle.
The tentacle was knocked back a few steps by the punch, but it quickly steadied itself.
It roared, and the black spikes on its body suddenly stood up, firing waves of black energy at the group.
Everyone dodged quickly while searching for the tentacle's weak point.
"This thing's attacks are too fierce; we must find its weak point," Hode shouted while observing the tentacle's movements.
He noticed that after every attack, the base of the tentacle would loosen for a split second.
"Diana, use your Lasso of Truth to restrict its base. Elektra, you and I will attack its base together. Selene, use your magic to interfere with its energy waves," Hodecommanded quickly.
Diana nodded, and the Lasso of Truth quickly wrapped around the base of the tentacle, restricting its movement.
Seizing the opportunity, Elektra and Hode rushed toward the tentacle's base.
Sensing their attack, the tentacle struggled violently, attempting to break free from the Lasso of Truth.
Selene formed hand seals, sending hypnotic magical light toward the tentacle's energy waves.
The magical light collided with the energy waves, creating a series of explosions and disrupting the energy wave attack.
Grabbing this chance, Hode and Elektra launched their attacks simultaneously.
Hode gathered all his strength and punched the base of the tentacle, while Elektra swung her weapon, thrusting it into a gap in the base.
The tentacle let out a cry of pain as the black spikes at its base were shattered, causing black liquid to spray out.
It roared in anger, and the black energy on its body surged wildly, forming a huge Energy Vortex that swept toward the group.
"Everyone, be careful!" Hode shouted, simultaneously unleashing his new ability to form a colorful Energy Shieldin front of the group.
The Energy Vortex struck the shield with a massive explosion, but the shield held firm, blocking the attack.
"Nice work, Hode!" Captain America shouted, swinging his shield and charging toward the tentacle.
Members of the Avengers and the Justice League also launched their attacks; Iron Man's lasers, Captain America's shield bash, and Superman's Heat Vision all fired at the tentacle.
Under the combined assault of everyone, the tentacle began to tremble violently.
It wanted to counterattack, but it was too late.
Beams of energy, weapon strikes, and magical light struck all the vital points of the tentacle.
However, the tentacle was not so easily defeated.
It suddenly roared, and the black energy on its body gathered frantically, forming a massive beam of energy that fired toward the group.
Everyone dodged quickly, but the energy beam was extremely fast, and some were still hit, sustaining injuries of varying degrees.
Hode looked at his injured companions, his heart filled with anger.
He closed his eyes, feeling the deep bond he shared with Diana, Elektra, and Selene, and memories of fighting together flashed through his mind like a movie.
He felt an unprecedented, powerful force surging within him, a force that seemed as if it would burst him apart.
He opened his eyes, and a dazzling light flickered within them.
"Companions, let's try again. Let's fuse our powers to the limit and completely destroy this tentacle," Hode shouted.
Hearing Hode's shout, everyone immediately focused their minds, channeling their power into Hode.
Feeling this immense force, Hode unleashed his full strength, condensing a massive beam of energy between his hands.
The energy beam radiated with colorful light, as if it contained the power of the entire Universe.
"Everyone, together, pour your energy into this energy beam!" Hode shouted.
Everyone poured their power into the energy beam, causing it to grow larger and its light to become even more dazzling.
The tentacle sensed the danger and tried to launch an attack to stop them, but its movements were restricted by Diana's Lasso of Truth.
"Now, fire!" Hode yelled, pushing forward with both hands to launch the energy beam toward the tentacle.
The energy beam struck the tentacle, producing an earth-shattering explosion.
The light illuminated the entire sky, making it impossible to look directly at it.
As the light gradually dissipated, everyone saw that the tentacle had vanished without a trace, leaving behind only a patch of scorched earth.
But before everyone could catch their breath, an even more terrifying roar came from the crack.
This time, the sound—as if from the "705u.com-53 Reading Club"—seemed to come from countless monsters simultaneously, making one's scalp tingle.
Immediately after, monsters of various shapes and sizes poured out of the crack; some had huge wings, some had sharp claws, and others were covered in black flames.
"So many monsters!" Iron Man exclaimed, the indicator lights on his War Armor flashing wildly.
Captain America gripped his shield, his eyes filled with determination: "We cannot retreat; protecting the World is our mission."
Superman flew into the air, a powerful energy fluctuation radiating from his body: "Hode, we will fight side by side until the end!"
Hode looked at the surging monsters, feeling no fear in his heart.
He turned to look at Diana, Elektra, and Selene, and saw that their eyes were also filled with determination.
Hode knew that this battle would be the toughest challenge they had ever faced, but he also believed that as long as they stood together, they would surely defeat these monsters.
"Companions, let's fight for the World once again!" Hodeshouted, gathering all his strength as he prepared for this even more brutal battle.
Meanwhile, the monsters pouring from the crack surged toward them like a tidal wave, and a new life-or-death struggle began...
Chapter 581: Nothing Can Stop Us
Hode took a deep breath; he could feel the power granted by his intimacy with Diana, Elektra, and Selene boiling within him.
The time spent with them, every sweet moment, and every experience of fighting side by side acted like fuel, providing him with a continuous stream of power for the current battle.
"Diana, this time we must coordinate even more closely."
Hode turned to look at Diana, his eyes filled with trust and love.
Diana smiled slightly, the Lasso of Truth swaying gently in her hand, emitting a soft yet firm light: "Hode, together, nothing can stop us."
Her voice was like music, sending a warm current through Hode's heart.
Elektra stood to the side, stroking her weapon, a playful smile curling on her lips: "Hode, don't expect me to go easy on them; these monsters don't look easy to deal with."
Although she spoke lightly, her eyes revealed a hint of gravity.
Hode knew that Elektra was always like this, using a seemingly flippant attitude to mask her inner tension and determination.
Selene formed hand seals quickly, and the surrounding runes flickered even more rapidly: "Everyone, be careful; these monsters have very strange auras, and they seem to have different abilities."
Her voice was steady and calm, like a beacon guiding everyone in the darkness.
"Then let's go!" Hode shouted, charging toward the swarm of monsters first.
Colorful light flickered around his body, and every step seemed to carry the weight of a thousand pounds.
A monster with huge wings dove toward him, its sharp claws glinting coldly.
Hode dodged to the side and threw a punch, the colorful light instantly striking the monster's wing.
The monster let out a cry of pain as its wing was broken, and it plummeted to the ground, wobbling.
Diana followed closely behind Hode, the Lasso of Truthmoving like a nimble snake as it lashed out at a monster covered in black flames.
The monster tried to dodge, but the Lasso of Truth was extremely fast, instantly wrapping around its legs.
Diana pulled hard, and the monster was knocked to the ground.
She seized the opportunity to swing her weapon, aiming for the monster's head.
The monster roared, and its black flames burned more fiercely as it tried to break free from the Lasso of Truth.
Elektra wove through the swarm of monsters like a ghost.
Her weapon moved like lightning, with every strike accurately hitting the monsters' vital points.
A monster with sharp claws lunged at her; Elektraretreated quickly, swinging her weapon in the same motion.
A cold glint flashed, and the monster's claws were severed.
As the monster roared in pain, Elektra seized the chance to rush forward, kicking the monster in the chest and sending it flying.
Selene formed hand seals and chanted.
Beams of mysterious magical light shot from her hands toward the swarm of monsters.
Upon striking the monsters, some were frozen in place, while others were consumed by magical flames.
But these monsters seemed endless, continuously pouring out of the crack.
Iron Man fired lasers continuously from the air, strafing the swarm of monsters.
His War Armor was somewhat damaged in the intense battle, and the indicator lights were flickering even more rapidly.
"Hode, there are too many of these monsters; we need to think of something."
Iron Man shouted, his voice laced with anxiety.
Captain America held his shield, charging into the fray among the monsters.
His shield was like a sturdy fortress, and every impact sent monsters reeling back.
"No matter how many monsters there are, we must protect this World."
Captain America shouted, his eyes filled with a sense of mission.
Superman, like a god of war, shuttled back and forth between the air and the ground.
His fists carried immense power, and every strike pulverized a monster.
But the monsters seemed unafraid, continuously surging toward them.
Chapter 367
Hode was constantly thinking of countermeasures while fighting the monsters.
He felt that there was still room for improvement in his intimacy with Diana, Elektra, and Selene; if he could further increase this intimacy, he might be able to obtain more powerful abilities.
While fighting, he looked for opportunities to get closer to them.
While fighting a multi-headed monster, Hode deliberately moved close to Diana.
When the monster sprayed a stream of black venom at them, Hode quickly pulled Diana behind him and blocked the venom with his own body.
Diana felt a warmth in her heart, and she could feel Hode's love for her.
During a lull in the battle, she gently held Hode's hand, and the intimacy between them instantly increased a little.
Hode felt a new power surge into his body, and the light around his body became even more dazzling.
"Diana, thank you," Hode said softly, while rushing toward the monster again.
With the new power, his attacks were even more fierce.
He condensed a huge energy ball with both hands and threw it at the group of monsters.
The energy ball exploded with a huge roar, and the surrounding monsters were blasted away.
Elektra felt a little jealous seeing the intimate interaction between Hode and Diana, but she also knew this was not the time to be concerned about such things.
She deliberately moved close to Hode, and when dodging a monster's attack, she pretended to accidentally bump into Hode's arms.
Hode could feel the softness of Elektra's body; his heart stirred, and the intimacy between him and Elektra also increased a little.
A new power surged into his body, and his speed became faster.
Elektra broke free from Hode's arms and said with a smile, "Hode, don't think you can take advantage of me, but considering you are so brave, I will forgive you."
After saying that, she rushed toward the group of monsters again, waving the weapon in her hand even more rapidly.
Selene, from the 705u.com-53 Reading Club, saw the intimate interaction between Hode, Diana, and Elektra, and felt a little moved as well.
When casting magic, she deliberately moved close to Hode.
When a monster shot a wave of Dark Energy at them, Selene quickly cast a magic shield to protect Hode and herself.
Inside the magic shield, the two looked at each other, and Selene's eyes were full of tenderness.
The intimacy between Hode and Selene also increased a little, a mysterious power surged into his body, and his magic perception became stronger.
"Selene, it's good to have you here," Hode said softly.
Selene smiled slightly, "Hode, let's fight to the end."
With the new abilities brought by the increased intimacy with the three female superheroes, Hode was more confident.
He directed everyone to adopt more effective tactics.
He worked closely with Diana, Elektra, and Selene, continuously attacking the monsters' weaknesses.
Iron Man provided fire support from the air, Captain America organized the defense on the ground, and Superman was responsible for attacking the powerful monsters.
However, the monsters seemed to be constantly evolving.
A huge monster slowly crawled out of the crack, emitting a terrifying aura.
The monster's body was like a small mountain, and every step it took made the ground tremble.
Its eyes flashed with red light, and it continuously spat black fire from its mouth.
"This monster is not simple, everyone be careful," Hodeshouted loudly.
The monster let out a roar at the crowd, the sound like thunder.
It stretched out its huge claws and swiped at the crowd.
Iron Man quickly fired lasers to stop the monster's attack, but after the lasers hit the monster's claws, they only splashed sparks and did not cause substantial damage to the monster.
Captain America raised his shield and blocked in front of everyone.
The shield collided with the monster's claws with a loud bang, and Captain America was knocked back a few steps.
Superman flew to the top of the monster's head and punched it in the head.
The monster shook its head hard and threw Supermanaway.
Hode worked closely with Diana, Elektra, and Selene to find the monster's weakness.
Diana's Lasso of Truth wrapped around the monster's legs, but the monster struggled hard and broke the Lasso of Truth.
Elektra rushed up from the side, stabbing the weapon in her hand at the monster's body, but the monster's skin was as hard as iron, and the weapon only left a shallow mark.
Selene formed seals with both hands, and rays of mysterious magic light shot toward the monster.
After the magic light hit the monster, it left black marks on its body, but the monster did not seem to be affected much.
Hode felt a little anxious; he knew that if they couldn't defeat this monster soon, everyone would be in a more dangerous situation.
He closed his eyes and felt the deep affection between him, Diana, Elektra, and Selene, trying to ignite more powerful energy again.
Just then, the monster suddenly let out a roar, and the black fire on its body burned even more fiercely.
It sprayed a huge column of black fire at the crowd, and wherever the fire column passed, everything was reduced to ashes.
Everyone dodged quickly, but several people were still affected by the fire and injured.
Hode looked at his injured partners, his heart filled with anger.
He opened his eyes, and they flashed with a firm light.
"Partners, we cannot retreat. For the World, for our loved ones, we must defeat this monster," Hode shouted loudly.
Hearing Hode's shout, everyone focused their energy and prepared to launch an attack again.
Hode held hands with Diana, Elektra, and Selene, and the intimacy between them reached an unprecedented height at this moment.
A powerful force surged from their bodies, forming a huge colorful Energy Vortex above their heads.
"Together, attack!" Hode shouted, and everyone poured their power into the Energy Vortex.
The Energy Vortex rotated rapidly, then shot a huge beam of energy at the monster.
The energy beam, carrying the power to destroy everything, rushed toward the monster...
Chapter 582: Its body began to disintegrate gradually.
The energy beam, like a meteor piercing the darkness, slammed into the huge monster with the force of an avalanche.
The monster seemed to feel this powerful threat; it let out a deafening roar, and the black fire on its body surged wildly, trying to form a Fire Shield in front of it to block this fatal blow.
The energy beam collided with the Fire Shield, emitting dazzling light and a deafening roar.
The powerful impact spread to the surroundings with the collision point as the center, and everything around was overturned by this force.
Huge cracks appeared on the ground, and dust filled the sky, blocking out the Sun.
Hode held Diana, Elektra, and Selene's hands tightly, and he could feel the warmth of their palms and their firm strength.
At this moment, the four of them seemed to merge into one, their beliefs and emotions intertwined, becoming the source of this powerful energy.
"We must succeed!" Hode prayed silently in his heart, his eyes fixed on the center of the collision, not daring to relax in the slightest.
The Fire Shield began to crack under the impact of the energy beam, and the monster let out a painful hiss, desperately mobilizing the power in its body to try to reinforce the shield.
But the power of the energy beam was too strong, and the cracks on the shield grew more and more numerous, until it finally shattered with a "boom."
The energy beam hit the monster without obstruction, and the monster's huge body was enveloped by the energy beam, emitting miserable screams.
Its body gradually became blurred under the erosion of the energy beam, and the black fire was also suppressed by this pure and powerful energy.
"It's working!" Captain America shouted excitedly when he saw this scene. He waved his shield, encouraging the partners around him, "Everyone hold on, victory is in sight!"
Iron Man adjusted the posture of his War Armor in the air, continuously firing lasers to cooperate with the energy beam to attack the monster.
"Hode, your move is too powerful! But don't get cocky, we still need to give it a fatal blow," Iron Man said loudly, his voice full of fighting spirit.
Superman hovered in the air, his eyes flashing with light, observing the monster's movements.
Once the monster showed signs of escaping, he would immediately rush up to deliver a fatal blow.
"It can't escape, we will definitely be able to eliminate it," Superman said firmly.
However, the monster was not so easily defeated.
Just when everyone thought victory was in sight, the monster suddenly let out an angry roar, its body began to expand violently, and the surrounding Dark Energy poured into it crazily.
A layer of black scales appeared on its body surface, which flashed with an eerie light, as if they could block all attacks.
"Oh no, it's evolving!" Selene's face changed.
She quickly formed seals with her hands, trying to cast magic to stop the monster's evolution, but her magic was greatly reduced by the interference of the Dark Energyaround the monster.
Hode's heart tightened; he could feel the aura emanating from the monster becoming stronger and stronger, and this power made him feel a palpitation.
"We cannot let it evolve successfully, otherwise we will all die here," Hode gritted his teeth.
He looked at Diana, Elektra, and Selene, his eyes full of determination, "Give me power again, let's stop it together!"
Diana, Elektra, and Selene nodded, and they unhesitatingly transferred their power to Hode again.
Hode felt an unprecedentedly powerful force surge into his body, and the light around his body became even more dazzling, as if he had turned into a small Sun.
"Charge!" Hode shouted, and he was the first to rush toward the monster.
His speed was extremely fast, like a lightning bolt, and he reached the monster in an instant.
He threw a punch, and colorful light burst from his fist, slamming into the monster's chest.
The monster stretched out its huge claws, trying to block Hode's attack.
But the power of Hode's punch was too strong; the monster's claws were shattered directly, and the colorful light continued to slam into the monster's chest.
The monster let out a scream, and a huge wound appeared on its chest, with black blood gushing out.
But the monster did not fall because of this; it looked at Hode angrily, its eyes full of hatred.
It opened its bloody mouth and sprayed a stream of black venom at Hode.
This venom was highly corrosive, and the consequences would be unimaginable if hit.
Hode quickly retreated, while condensing an Energy Shieldwith both hands to block the venom attack.
The venom hit the Energy Shield, making a "hissing" sound, constantly corroding the shield.
"Hode, be careful!" Elektra saw this scene, anxious.
She rushed to Hode's side like a ghost, and the weapon in her hand shot a cold light at the monster, trying to attract the monster's attention.
The monster was indeed attracted by Elektra's attack; it turned its head and pounced on Elektra.
Elektra flexibly dodged the monster's attacks while constantly looking for the monster's weakness.
Her eyes revealed a trace of calmness and firmness, as if telling Hode that she would not be easily defeated.
Diana followed closely, waving the Lasso of Truth and wrapping it toward the monster's legs.
The Lasso of Truth, like a nimble snake, quickly wrapped around the monster's legs.
Diana pulled hard, and the monster was pulled to the ground.
"Now!" Hode seized this opportunity, and he condensed a huge Energy Sword with both hands and slashed at the monster's head.
The Energy Sword carried powerful force, as if it could cut through everything.
The monster felt the danger; it struggled desperately, trying to break free from the shackles of the Lasso of Truth.
But Diana held the Lasso of Truth tightly and refused to let go.
Just as the Energy Sword was about to hit the monster's head, the monster suddenly let out a roar, and the black scales on its body flashed with an eerie light, bouncing the Energy Sword away.
"What?" Hode was shocked; he didn't expect the monster to have such an ability.
The monster took the opportunity to stand up, and it pounced on Diana, wanting to deal with her first.
Diana quickly retreated while waving the weapon in her hand, starting a fierce battle with the monster.
Her movements were agile and powerful, and every attack could cause certain damage to the monster.
But the monster's power was too strong, and Diana was gradually unable to hold on.
"Diana!" Seeing Diana in danger, Hode felt anxious.
He rushed toward the monster regardless of everything, wanting to save Diana.
Just then, Selene cast magic, forming a magic barrier between Diana and the monster.
The monster hit the magic barrier and was bounced back.
"Hode, we need to think of a new way," Selene said loudly, her face full of sweat, obviously consuming a lot of energy to cast this magic.
Hode nodded, looking at the powerful monster in front of him, thinking of countermeasures.
He knew that with their current strength, it was difficult to completely defeat this monster.
They must find the monster's core weakness to deliver a fatal blow.
"Everyone spread out and look for the monster's weakness," Hode shouted.
Everyone acted, attacking the monster from different directions, trying to distract it.
Under everyone's attack, the monster became angry and manic.
It constantly waved its huge claws and tail, attacking everyone.
But everyone flexibly dodged its attacks while carefully observing its movements.
After some observation, Hode finally discovered an anomaly in the monster.
On the monster's chest, there was a crystal emitting a faint light, which seemed to be the monster's power core.
"That's it!" Hode was overjoyed, and he shouted to everyone, "Attack the crystal on its chest!"
Hearing Hode's shout, everyone attacked the monster's chest.
Iron Man fired lasers from the air at the crystal; Captain America raised his shield and rushed toward the monster, trying to hit the crystal with his shield; Superman flew to the top of the monster's head and punched the crystal.
The monster perceived everyone's intentions and desperately protected the crystal on its chest. It swung its claws, dispersing Iron Man's laser; used its body to block Captain America's attack; and threw Superman away.
Hode knew this was their last chance. He once again held hands with Diana, Elektra, and Selene, pooling their powers together. The four of them transformed into a massive beam of light and charged toward the monster.
Seeing this beam of light, a flicker of fear flashed in the monster's eyes. It wanted to dodge, but it was already too late. The light instantly struck the monster's chest, hitting the crystal precisely.
The crystal emitted a dazzling light and then exploded with a "boom." The monster let out a miserable scream, its body began to gradually disintegrate, and the black Fire slowly extinguished.
Finally, the monster completely disappeared from everyone's sight. The surroundings returned to calm, but no one relaxed in the slightest. They knew that although this battle had ended for the moment, more dangers awaited them in the future.
Hode looked at his companions beside him, his heart filled with gratitude. He looked toward Diana, Elektra, and Selene, his eyes full of tenderness. "Thank you all; with you by my side, I fear nothing," Hode said softly.
Diana, Elektra, and Selene exchanged smiles and held Hode's hands tightly. Just then, a low rumbling sound suddenly came from the distance, as if something huge was approaching...
Chapter 583: A Figure Appears Before Everyone
Hode's heart tightened; that low rumbling sound struck his heart like a heavy hammer. He turned to look at his companions, all of whom wore solemn expressions on their faces.
"It seems the trouble isn't over yet." Iron Man adjusted his War Armor's thrusters, his eyes revealing vigilance. "Hode, what is approaching this time?"
Hode shook his head. He concentrated, trying to perceive that unknown existence, but that aura was too unfamiliar and powerful, making it hard for him to grasp for a moment. "I'm not sure either, but it's definitely not friendly."
Diana gripped the Lasso of Truth in her hand, her determined eyes revealing fearlessness. "No matter what it is, we must face it together."
Elektra narrowed her eyes slightly, her body crouching down, ready to attack at any moment. "Hmph, I haven't had enough of a fight just now; this time, I'll let it see what I'm capable of."
Selene quickly formed hand seals, and the surrounding magic elements began to gather slowly. "Everyone, be careful. I can feel that this power is very evil, and it seems to carry an ancient curse."
Superman flew higher into the air, his eyes flashing with super-vision as he tried to see the situation in the distance. Suddenly, his expression changed. "That... 53 Reading Club... that is a gigantic mechanical creature. Its whole body emits a cold metallic light, and it seems to be covered in mysterious runes."
Following Superman's description, everyone's hearts tightened. Soon, that massive mechanical creature appeared in their field of vision. It was dozens of meters tall, its body composed of various complex mechanical parts, and every step it took made the ground shake violently. Its head was a huge cannon barrel, with dangerous blue light flickering around it, as if it would launch a devastating attack at any moment.
"What on earth is this thing?" Captain America frowned, gripping his shield tightly. "It looks even harder to deal with than the previous monster."
Hode took a deep breath and looked at his companions beside him. "No matter what it is, we must fight side by side. Moreover, I feel that this time, our tacit understanding and trust might allow us to obtain even greater power."
Diana, Elektra, and Selene all nodded and pressed closely against Hode. Just then, Hode felt a warm current coming from the three women, and strange light began to flicker around his body; that was the power resonance brought about by the increase in their intimacy.
"Everyone, prepare to fight!" Hode shouted, charging toward the mechanical creature first. His speed was faster than before, and the light around his body shone like a meteor.
The mechanical creature perceived Hode's approach, and the cannon barrel on its head began to flicker, firing a blue laser toward Hode. Hode nimbly dodged the laser attack, his body tracing graceful arcs in the air.
"Hode, watch out behind you!" Elektra suddenly shouted. It turned out that several mechanical tentacles had extended from behind the mechanical creature, reaching out to grab Hode.
Hode was startled and quickly turned around, condensing an Energy Shield with his hands to block the mechanical tentacles' attack. However, the mechanical tentacles' power was very strong, and the Energy Shield began to crack.
"I'll help you!" Diana shouted, swinging the Lasso of Truthtoward the mechanical tentacles. The Lasso of Truth, like an agile snake, quickly wrapped around several mechanical tentacles. Diana pulled hard, yanking the mechanical tentacles to the side.
"Watch this!" Iron Man fired a barrage of missiles from the air toward the mechanical creature's body. The missiles exploded on the mechanical creature, but only left some shallow marks and did not cause it any substantial damage.
"This guy's defense is too strong!" Iron Man cursed, quickly adjusting his War Armor's weapon system, preparing to launch a more powerful attack.
Superman swooped down from the air, his fist carrying powerful force as he struck toward the mechanical creature's head. The mechanical creature perceived Superman's attack and quickly raised a huge mechanical arm, blocking Superman's fist. Superman felt as if his fist had struck a piece of hard metal; a powerful rebound force came, making him almost lose his balance.
"This mechanical creature's strength is not to be underestimated either," Superman thought to himself, quickly adjusting his posture and launching another attack at the mechanical creature.
Selene cast magic in the air, with black magic rays shooting toward the mechanical creature. The magic rays hit the surface of the mechanical creature, making a "sizzling" sound, seemingly corroding its metal shell. But the mechanical creature didn't seem to care; the runes on its body began to flicker, and a mysterious power blocked the magic rays outside.
"This won't work." Hode felt anxious. While dodging the mechanical creature's attacks, he thought about countermeasures. Suddenly, he remembered the method used against the previous monster: finding the enemy's core weakness.
"Everyone, spread out and find this mechanical creature's weakness!" Hode shouted loudly.
Everyone took action, attacking the mechanical creature from different directions, trying to distract it. Hode carefully observed the mechanical creature's movements in the air and discovered that whenever the mechanical creature launched an attack, the runes on its chest would flicker more brightly.
"Could the weakness be in its chest?" Hode felt a stir in his heart and shouted to his companions, "Attack its chest!"
Hearing Hode's shout, everyone launched attacks toward the mechanical creature's chest. Captain America raised his shield and charged toward the mechanical creature, attempting to strike its chest with the shield; Iron Man fired lasers from the air toward the chest; and Superman flew to the top of the mechanical creature, punching toward the chest.
The mechanical creature perceived everyone's intentions and desperately protected its chest. It swung its mechanical arms, knocking Captain America's shield away; used the shield on its body to block Iron Man's lasers; and threw Superman away.
Hode knew this was their last chance. He once again held hands with Diana, Elektra, and Selene, pooling their powers together. The four of them transformed into a massive beam of light and charged toward the mechanical creature.
Seeing this beam of light, the mechanical creature's cannon barrel began to flicker frantically, firing a massive blue laser toward the light. The light and the laser collided, emitting a blinding radiance and a deafening roar. The powerful impact force spread outwards from the collision point, overturning everything around it.
Hode felt as if his body were about to be torn apart, but he gritted his teeth and persisted... He felt the three women's power continuously flowing into his body, giving him the motivation to keep going.
"Must succeed!" Hode prayed silently in his heart, his eyes fixed tightly on the mechanical creature's chest.
In the confrontation between the light and the laser, the light gradually gained the upper hand. It broke through the laser's obstruction and accurately struck the mechanical creature's chest. The mechanical creature let out a miserable scream, and its body began to tremble violently.
"It's working!" Elektra shouted excitedly.
Seeing this scene, everyone increased the intensity of their attacks. Iron Man launched more missiles from the air toward the mechanical creature's body; Captain Americapicked up his shield and charged toward the mechanical creature again; and Superman continuously launched attacks from the air, attempting to completely destroy the mechanical creature.
Cracks began to appear on the mechanical creature's chest, and those mysterious runes began to dim. It struggled desperately, trying to escape everyone's attacks, but it was to no avail.
Just when everyone thought victory was in sight, the mechanical creature suddenly let out a roar. All the mechanical parts on its body began to spin frantically, and a powerful energy fluctuation radiated from within its body.
"Not good, it's going to self-destruct!" Selene's expression changed, and she quickly cast magic, forming a magicshield around everyone.
Hode's heart tightened; he felt a destructive force rapidly gathering. He looked at his companions beside him, his eyes filled with determination. "Everyone, don't panic; we will face it together!"
Everyone huddled tightly together, pooling their powers, preparing to meet this final impact. Just at the moment the mechanical creature was about to explode, a mysterious light suddenly descended from the sky, enveloping the mechanical creature within it.
The mechanical creature's body instantly stopped trembling, and the energy fluctuations on its body gradually calmed down. Everyone looked at this scene in surprise, not knowing what had happened.
The mysterious light gradually dissipated, and a figure appeared before everyone. It was a You-Know-Whowearing a strange robe, with a mask on his face that made his features impossible to see.
"You have done well," the You-Know-Who's voice was low and hoarse. "But this crisis is far from over. This mechanical creature was just a vanguard; there is an even more powerful force behind it, controlling everything."
Hode frowned and looked at the You-Know-Who. "Who are you? Why do you know these things?"
The You-Know-Who did not answer Hode's question; he only said slowly, "If you want to save this World, you must find the mastermind I spoke of. But before that, you still need to become stronger."
Having said this, the You-Know-Who turned to leave.
"Wait!" Hode shouted. "You haven't told us what to do!"
The You-Know-Who stopped and looked back at Hode. "When you need me, I will naturally appear. For now, deal with the matter at hand."
After speaking, the You-Know-Who's figure gradually disappeared from everyone's sight. Everyone looked at each other, their hearts filled with doubt and unease. Just then, a strange sound came from the distance again, as if some new danger was quietly approaching...
Chapter 584: Must Be Able to Break This Constraint!
Hode gazed at the direction where the You-Know-Whohad disappeared, his heart filled with mixed feelings. On one hand, the You-Know-Who's appearance brought more unknown mysteries, making him realize that this crisis was far more complex than imagined; on the other hand, the mastermind the You-Know-Who spoke of felt like a heavy stone pressing on his heart, making him feel the weight of his responsibility.
"Hode, what now?" Diana asked softly, her eyes filled with both worry and determination, as if no matter what difficulties they encountered, she would fight side by side with Hode.
Hode took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. He turned to look at his companions; everyone's face was filled with exhaustion, but even more so with indomitable fighting spirit. "We cannot shrink back here. Although the You-Know-Who didn't tell us exactly what to do, he said we need to become stronger, and that is what we must do next."
Elektra crossed her arms, her lips curling slightly. "Hmph, become stronger? Perfect, I also want to see just how powerful I can be. However, Hode, you need to think carefully about how to make us stronger; perhaps it has something to do with your relationship with us." As she spoke, there was a hint of teasing in her eyes, yet also a faint expectation.
Hode felt a stir in his heart; he naturally understood the hidden meaning in Elektra's words. Dating these female superheroes and increasing intimacy could grant different abilities—this might be the key to them becoming stronger. He looked at Diana, whose determined yet gentle eyes warmed his heart. He then looked at Selene, who had her arms crossed over her chest, her eyes holding a hint of mystery, as if waiting for him to make a decision.
"Everyone, let's rest for a moment and adjust our state. Afterward, we will discuss how to improve our strength together," Hode said. Everyone nodded and found places to sit and rest.
Hode walked to Diana's side and sat down gently. Dianaleaned over, resting her head on his shoulder. "Hode, no matter what we encounter next, I will face it with you," Diana said softly, her voice filled with trust.
A warm current surged through Hode's heart. He held Diana's hand. "Diana, with you by my side, I fear nothing. We have experienced so much together; I believe we will definitely be able to become stronger."
Chapter 368
The two of them leaned against each other quietly, enjoying this moment of tranquility.
On the other side, Elektra began chatting with Selene.
"Selene, what kind of special ability do you think Hodeactually has that allows us to grow stronger with him?" Elektra asked curiously.
Selene narrowed her eyes slightly, "I don't know either, but I feel that Hode possesses a mysterious power. Perhaps the emotional bond between us and him is the source of this power."
Elektra nodded, "Hmm, I have that feeling too. However, I am quite looking forward to seeing what kind of abilities we can trigger together with him."
Just then, an explosion suddenly came from the distance.
Everyone stood up one after another, looking vigilantly in the direction the sound came from.
"It seems new trouble has arrived." Iron Man quickly activated his War Armor and flew into the air, "Hode, let's go take a look."
Hode nodded and ran with his partners towards the direction the explosion came from.
When they arrived at the scene, they discovered a group of You-Know-Who dressed in black armor were fighting against a group of ordinary people.
Those You-Know-Who were powerful, and the ordinary people were simply no match for them.
"Who are these people?" Captain America frowned, gripping his shield tightly.
Hode felt a sense of foreboding well up in his heart; he felt that these You-Know-Who seemed to have some connection to the mechanical creatures that had appeared before.
"No matter who they are, we cannot let them hurt the innocent." Hode said, charging forward first.
Diana followed closely behind Hode, brandishing the Lasso of Truth, aiming to entangle the You-Know-Who.
The Lasso of Truth, like a nimble snake, quickly wrapped around the arm of a You-Know-Who.
Diana gave a hard tug, pulling the You-Know-Who to the ground.
Elektra crouched slightly, like an agile leopard, and charged towards the You-Know-Who.
A dagger appeared in her hand out of nowhere, the dagger flashing with cold light as she thrust it towards the You-Know-Who's chest.
The You-Know-Who reacted quickly, dodging to the side while throwing a punch at Elektra.
Elektra nimbly dodged, then kicked the You-Know-Who in the leg, sending the You-Know-Who stumbling.
Selene quickly formed hand seals, and the surrounding magic elements began to gather.
Black magic rays shot towards the You-Know-Who; the You-Know-Who dodged, but several were hit by the magicrays, letting out screams.
Superman dove down from the air, his fists carrying immense power, as he slammed towards the You-Know-Who.
The You-Know-Who noticed Superman's attack and raised their weapons to block.
But Superman's power was too great; the You-Know-Who's weapons shattered under his fists, and the You-Know-Who were sent flying in all directions.
However, these You-Know-Who did not seem to intend to retreat.
They quickly regrouped, chanting incantations, and the black armor on their bodies began to flicker with an eerie light.
"Not good, they are casting some kind of magic!" Selene's expression changed, and she shouted.
Just then, a powerful Dark Power radiated from the You-Know-Who, enveloping everyone.
Hode felt as if his body was bound by an invisible force, and his movements became sluggish.
"Everyone, be careful!" Hode shouted, trying to break free from this restraint.
But the Dark Power was too strong, and he found it difficult to break free for the moment.
Diana also felt the strength of this power; she struggled hard, the Lasso of Truth in her hand glowing, attempting to break the restraint of the Dark Power.
Elektra gritted her teeth, and a faint red glow began to appear around her body; this was the eruption of her inner potential.
She fought hard to break free from the restraint, then charged towards the You-Know-Who.
Selene cast magic in the air, trying to dispel this Dark Power.
But her magic seemed to have little effect on this power, and the Dark Power still tightly enveloped everyone.
Superman, relying on his great strength, managed to barely break free from the restraint.
He flew into the air, attempting to attack the You-Know-Who from above, but the You-Know-Who seemed prepared, and a black Energy Shield appeared around them, blocking Superman's attack.
"This won't do." Hode was anxious; he tried hard to focus his mind, attempting to establish a deeper emotional connection with Diana, Elektra, and Selene.
He felt that only if the intimacy between the four of them improved further could they trigger a more powerful force to counter this Dark Power.
He looked at Diana, and Diana was also looking at him; their eyes met, as if an invisible force was being transmitted.
Then, he looked at Elektra and Selene; Elektra's determined gaze and Selene's mysterious smile filled his heart with strength.
"Together, we can definitely break this restraint!" Hode said silently in his heart.
He gripped Diana's hand tightly while conveying his belief to Elektra and Selene.
Just then, Hode felt strange light beginning to flicker around his body.
Light also appeared on Diana, Elektra, and Selenesimultaneously; the light of the four converged, forming a powerful energy.
This energy, like a surging tide, rushed towards the Dark Power.
Under the Impact of this energy, the Dark Power began to gradually dissipate.
The You-Know-Who noticed this powerful energy and all revealed expressions of terror.
"Everyone, keep it up!" Hode shouted, and the four concentrated their energy even more.
Finally, the Dark Power was completely dispelled, and everyone regained their freedom.
The You-Know-Who, seeing the situation was bad, turned to run away.
But how could Hode and the others let them off so easily?
Everyone chased after them, surrounding the You-Know-Who.
"Speak, who exactly are you? What conspiracy is behind this?" Hode asked coldly.
The You-Know-Who looked at each other, and one of them suddenly sneered, "Do you think defeating us will stop everything? This is just the beginning; there are even more terrifying things waiting for you."
After speaking, the You-Know-Who bit into the poison sacs in their mouths and fell to the ground dead.
Hode frowned; he knew these You-Know-Who were just pawns, and there was a larger force behind them controlling everything.
He looked at his partners, his eyes filled with determination, "No matter what force is behind this, we must root them out and save this World."
And just then, a low rumbling sound came from the distance again, as if something even greater and more dangerous was quietly approaching...
Chapter 585
Superman only felt a huge force coming.
Hode's gaze became increasingly cold and stern; the low rumbling sound was like a heavy hammer, striking his heart again and again.
He turned to look at the partners beside him; Diana was still standing firmly by his side, her eyes revealing fearless courage;
Elektra clenched her fists, a hint of disdainful smile on the corners of her lips, as if she were looking forward to a new challenge;
Selene crossed her arms over her chest, faint magicfluctuations around her, her eyes flickering with a mysterious light.
"It seems this battle is far from over." Hode said in a deep voice, his tone filled with unquestionable determination.
Captain America took a step forward, the shield in his hand shimmering with metallic luster in the sunlight, "No matter what comes, we, the Justice League and the Avengers, will not back down."
Iron Man circled in the air, the indicator lights on his War Armor flashing non-stop, "That's right, I want to see what kind of thing can make such a big commotion."
Superman hovered in the air, his gaze fixed on the direction the sound came from, his eyes revealing a sense of gravity, "This power... is very unusual."
As the rumbling sound got closer and closer, the ground began to tremble slightly.
Everyone could feel a powerful and evil aura rapidly approaching.
Suddenly, a huge figure slowly rose from behind the distant mountains.
It was a monster composed of countless mechanical parts and Dark Energy; its body was as massive as a small hill, and with every step it took, the ground was trampled into a huge crater.
"What the hell is this thing!" Elektra couldn't help but exclaim.
Selene's eyes became serious, "I can feel it; it radiates a kind of Dark Power from the abyss, very dangerous."
Hode clenched his fists tightly; he could feel his heartbeat accelerating, but there was no fear in his heart, only a strong urge to protect those around him.
He looked at Diana; Diana seemed to feel his gaze and turned to look at him; their eyes met, as if silently transmitting strength and courage.
"Everyone be careful, this monster is not simple." Hodewarned loudly.
The monster seemed to notice the presence of the group; it let out a deafening roar, the sound like rolling thunder, making everyone's eardrums ache.
Then, it took huge strides and charged towards the group.
"Attack!" Hode gave the command, and everyone took action.
Diana charged out first, the Lasso of Truth in her hand like lightning, aiming to entangle the monster's legs.
The Lasso of Truth tightly wrapped around the monster's leg, but the monster just gave a hard flick, throwing Dianaaway.
Diana flipped in the air and landed steadily on the ground; a flash of surprise crossed her eyes, but it was replaced by more fighting spirit.
Elektra, like a ghost, darted quickly around the monster.
The dagger in her hand flashed with cold light, continuously thrusting towards the monster's body.
But the monster's body was incredibly hard; the dagger could only leave shallow scratches on it.
Selene quickly formed hand seals, and the surrounding magic elements began to gather frantically.
Black magic rays shot towards the monster; the monster seemed to sense the danger of the magic, opened its huge mouth, and spat out a stream of black Fire, blocking the magic rays.
Superman dove down from the air, his fists carrying immense power, slamming towards the monster's head.
The monster raised a huge arm, blocking Superman's attack.
Superman only felt a huge force coming, and his body was involuntarily sent flying.
Iron Man continuously fired missiles from the air; the missiles exploded on the monster's body, but the monster just shook its body and did not suffer much damage.
Hode watched his partners fighting the monster fiercely, feeling very anxious.
He knew that if this continued, everyone would sooner or later exhaust their stamina.
He tried hard to focus his mind, attempting to establish a deeper emotional connection with Diana, Elektra, and Selene.
He could feel that the intimacy between him and them was gradually increasing, and waves of warm strength were flowing in his body.
Suddenly, Hode felt some blurry images flash in his mind—some warm moments spent with Diana, Elektra, and Selene.
These images filled his heart with strength; he felt as if he could feel their joys, sorrows, and emotions, and could understand their inner thoughts.
Just then, the monster seemed to be angered by the attacks of the group; it let out a roar, and the Dark Energyon its body began to surge frantically.
It opened its arms, and the surrounding air began to twist, forming a huge black vortex.
"Not good, it is gathering energy, wanting to launch a powerful attack!" Selene shouted loudly.
Everyone stopped their actions, watching the monster vigilantly.
The black vortex grew larger and larger, emitting a chilling aura.
Hode's heart stirred; he felt that the connection between him and Diana, Elektra, and Selene had reached a new height.
He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, then suddenly opened them, his eyes flickering with strange light.
"Together, let's release our power!" Hode shouted.
Diana, Elektra, and Selene seemed to feel Hode's call; they all looked at Hode, their eyes filled with trust.
The four stood closely together, and strong light began to flicker around their bodies.
These lights converged, forming a huge torrent of energy.
The monster seemed to sense the power of this energy; it accelerated the rotation speed of the black vortex, attempting to launch an attack before the energy torrent arrived.
"Now!" Hode gave the command, and the four simultaneously released the energy in their hands.
The energy torrent, like a giant dragon, rushed towards the black vortex.
The black vortex and the energy torrent collided, emitting a deafening boom.
A powerful Impact spread in all directions; the surrounding trees were uprooted, and the ground was cracked open with huge fissures.
Everyone shielded their eyes with their arms, resisting the attack of the Impact.
When the Impact passed, they opened their eyes and discovered that the black vortex had disappeared, and the monster had been severely damaged; its body swayed a few times, almost falling to the ground.
"Good chance!" Captain America shouted, leading the members of the Avengers to charge forward.
The weapons in their hands attacked the monster one after another; under the group's attacks, the parts on the monster's body began to fall off continuously.
Hode, Diana, Elektra, and Selene were not idle either; they continued to release energy, carrying out the final attack on the monster.
Under the joint attack of everyone, the monster finally could not hold on, let out a roar of unwillingness, and then crashed to the ground.
However, just when everyone thought the battle was over, the monster's body suddenly began to decompose, turning into clusters of black "705u.com-53 Reading Club" smoke.
These black smokes quickly gathered together, forming a huge black sphere.
The black sphere began to expand continuously, emitting an even more evil aura.
Hode could feel that this aura was several times stronger than the previous monster.
"This... what is going on?" Elektra asked in surprise.
Selene's eyes were filled with worry. "I feel that a more terrifying conspiracy seems to be hidden behind this power."
Hode frowned tightly, a surge of intense unease rising in his heart. He knew that this battle was far from over, and even greater danger lay ahead. He looked at his companions, his eyes filled with determination. "No matter what we encounter next, we must face it together."
Just then, the black sphere suddenly stopped expanding and began to rotate slowly. The speed of rotation increased, and the surrounding air was stirred until it distorted. Suddenly, the black sphere emitted a strong light, and after the light faded, a figure appeared before everyone...
Chapter 586: Wherever it passed, the air was torn apart
The figure gradually became clear in the light; it was a You-Know-Who with a slender build, exuding a chilling aura. He wore a black robe and a mask engraved with eerie runes, revealing only a pair of eyes flickering with dark red light, like a demon from the abyss.
"Hmph, a bunch of ants, actually attempting to stop my plan." The You-Know-Who's voice was low and cold, as if carrying endless chill, making the surrounding air seem to freeze a little.
Hode felt a jolt in his heart. He could sense that the aura emitted by this You-Know-Who was several times more powerful than the previous monster, and the level of danger was incomparable. But he had no intention of retreating. He turned to look at his companions beside him; Diana, Elektra, and Selene's eyes also revealed determination and fearlessness, and the members of the Avengers were also on high alert.
"Who exactly are you? What do you want to do?" Hodeasked loudly, trying to extract some useful information from the You-Know-Who's words.
The You-Know-Who let out a sinister laugh. "Who I am is not important; what is important is that you will all die here today, and this World will become mine."
After speaking, the You-Know-Who waved his hands, and the surrounding black smoke instantly condensed into countless sharp black blades, whistling towards everyone. The blades tore through the air, emitting a sharp whistling sound that made one shudder.
"Everyone, be careful!" Hode shouted, while quickly moving closer to Diana. In the process of spending time with Diana, the intimacy between them continued to increase, and Hode could feel a warm and powerful force coming from Diana, echoing with the power within his own body.
920 Diana, holding the Lasso of Truth, was like a golden lightning bolt, moving freely among the black blades. Every swing of the lasso in her hand could knock away a patch of blades. Hode followed closely by Diana's side, and the two worked in perfect harmony, blocking the blades attacking them one by one.
"Hode, we cannot keep defending passively like this." Diana said loudly while fighting, her eyes revealing a sense of decisiveness and perseverance.
Hode's heart stirred; he understood Diana's meaning. In battle, merely defending was not enough; one must take the initiative to attack in order to find the You-Know-Who's flaws. He looked at Elektra not far away, who was moving flexibly among the blades like a ghost, her dagger flashing with cold light, occasionally shattering a few blades.
"Elektra, let's go!" Hode shouted, and then rushed towards the You-Know-Who with Diana.
Elektra heard Hode's shout, a flash of excitement in her eyes. Her figure flashed, rushing towards the You-Know-Who like an arrow leaving the bow, her dagger stabbing directly at the You-Know-Who's throat.
The You-Know-Who sneered and waved his hand gently; a black barrier instantly appeared in front of him, blocking Elektra's attack. Elektra felt a huge force coming, and her body involuntarily took a few steps back.
Just then, Selene formed seals with her hands quickly, and the surrounding magic "705u.com-53 Reading Club" elements began to gather frantically. Rays of purple magicshot out from her hands towards the You-Know-Who. The You-Know-Who seemed wary of Selene's magic; he flashed his figure, dodging the magic ray attack.
Superman swooped down from the air, his fist carrying powerful force, striking towards the You-Know-Who's head. The You-Know-Who dodged to the side, avoiding Superman's attack, and then kicked Superman in the abdomen, sending him flying.
Iron Man kept firing missiles in the air, and the missiles exploded around the You-Know-Who, but the You-Know-Who was surrounded by a layer of black shield, blocking all the missile attacks.
Hode watched as his companions' repeated attacks were easily neutralized by the You-Know-Who, feeling very anxious. He knew that he must find the You-Know-Who's weakness to defeat him. He tried hard to concentrate, attempting to establish a deeper emotional connection with Diana, Elektra, and Selene, sensing their inner thoughts and power.
In the eye contact with Diana, Hode seemed to see Diana's persistence in justice and trust in her companions; in the eye contact with Elektra, he felt the wildness and unruliness in Elektra's heart, as well as her desire for battle; in the eye contact with Selene, he experienced a mysterious and profound power, as if hiding endless mysteries.
Suddenly, Hode felt that the intimacy between him and them had reached a new height, and a powerful force surged within his body. Colorful light began to flicker around his body, and these lights gathered together to form a huge Energy Shield, enveloping him and his companions within it.
"This is..." Diana looked at Hode in surprise; she could feel that the power radiating from Hode was much stronger than before.
Hode took a deep breath and said loudly: "Together, let us release all our power and break his defense!"
Diana, Elektra, and Selene all nodded; they felt the powerful belief in Hode and also released the power within themselves. Superman, Iron Man, and the members of the Avengers also felt this powerful force; they gathered around and stood with Hode and the others.
Everyone stood closely together, light flickering around their bodies, energy constantly gathering. The You-Know-Who looked at everyone, a flash of surprise in his eyes, but he quickly returned to his indifferent expression.
"Just by relying on you, you want to break my defense?" The You-Know-Who sneered, waved his hands, and the surrounding black smoke became thicker, his shield also becoming more solid.
"Now!" Hode shouted, and everyone simultaneously released the energy in their hands. A huge energy beam rushed towards the You-Know-Who's shield; wherever the beam passed, the air was ignited, emitting a dazzling light.
The You-Know-Who's shield began to tremble violently under the Impact of the energy beam, making a "crack, crack" sound. The You-Know-Who's expression changed slightly; he increased the energy output to the shield, trying to resist everyone's attack.
However, the power gathered by everyone was too strong, and the You-Know-Who's shield finally could not hold, appearing with cracks. The cracks grew larger, and finally, with a "boom," the shield shattered.
The energy beam continued to rush towards the You-Know-Who; the You-Know-Who hurriedly dodged to the side, but the beam still grazed his shoulder, leaving a charred mark on his robe.
"Damn it!" The You-Know-Who roared; he did not expect that everyone could actually break his shield. He quickly formed seals with his hands, and the surrounding black smoke began to surge frantically, forming a huge black vortex, sweeping towards everyone.
The black vortex contained a powerful suction force, and everyone felt their bodies involuntarily flying towards the center of the vortex. Hode held Diana's hand tightly, trying to stabilize his figure. Diana also gripped Hode's hand tightly, their eyes filled with determination.
"Everyone, do not panic, let us use our strength together to break this vortex!" Hode shouted.
Everyone concentrated, releasing the power within themselves, trying to resist the suction force of the black vortex. Superman flew above the vortex, grabbing the ground tightly with his hands, trying to stop the vortex from spreading; Iron Man kept firing missiles in the air, trying to destroy the structure of the vortex; Diana, Elektra, and Selene surrounded Hode, releasing various energies, contending with the power of the vortex.
Just when everyone was struggling to resist, the You-Know-Who suddenly rushed out of the vortex, a black energy ball condensed in his hand, and he smashed it fiercely towards everyone. The energy ball carried powerful force; wherever it passed, the air was torn apart.
Hode was startled; he had no time to think, pulling Dianabehind him, and then pushed his hands forward, releasing a powerful Energy Shield, trying to block the attack of the energy ball.
The energy ball collided with the Energy Shield, emitting a deafening loud noise. A powerful Impact spread all around, and everyone was knocked flying.
When everyone climbed up from the ground, they found the You-Know-Who standing in the distance, looking at them coldly. At this time, the surrounding black smoke was becoming thicker and thicker, as if hiding greater danger...
Chapter 587: Feeling Diana's warm embrace
Hode wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his gaze locked tightly on the You-Know-Who. He could feel that the aura around the You-Know-Who was becoming more and more violent, and the surrounding black smoke seemed to have a life of its own, constantly twisting, rolling, and emitting hair-raising roars. Diana walked to Hode's side, gently holding his hand; her hand was warm and powerful, giving Hode endless courage.
"Hode, we cannot retreat; we must find his weakness." Diana said firmly, her eyes revealing an unyielding will. Hode looked at Diana, a warm current rising in his heart; he knew deeply that in this battle, they were not only comrades but also each other's support.
Elektra flashed over from the side, her body carrying the smoke of battle, but her eyes were still sharp. "This guy is even more difficult to deal with than I imagined, but I will not give up easily." She licked her lips, revealing a wild smile. Hode knew that Elektra had a stubborn spirit in her bones, which was exactly what attracted him.
Selene quickly formed seals with her hands, and the surrounding magic elements circled around her, forming rays of brilliant light. "His magic shield is very powerful, but not invulnerable. I need a little time to find his magicpulse." Selene's voice was soft but full of confidence. Hodelooked at her focused expression, a feeling of admiration rising in his heart.
Just then, the You-Know-Who suddenly let out a roar, and the surrounding black smoke instantly condensed into a huge black giant hand, grabbing fiercely towards everyone. Wherever the giant hand passed, the air was compressed, emitting a sharp whistling sound. Hode's heart tightened; he quickly shielded Diana, Elektra, and Selene behind him, while simultaneously releasing the energy within his body, trying to resist the giant hand's attack.
"Everyone, be careful!" Hode shouted, pushing his hands forward, and a colorful Energy Shield appeared in front of everyone. The black giant hand smashed fiercely against the Energy Shield, emitting a deafening loud noise. The Energy Shield trembled violently, its light flickering, as if it would shatter at any moment.
Hode gritted his teeth, struggling to maintain the Energy Shield. He could feel that the You-Know-Who's power was like a surging tide, impacting the shield wave after wave. His body began to tremble, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. Seeing this, Diana, Elektra, and Selene all released their own power, injecting it into the Energy Shield.
With everyone's combined effort, the Energy Shield finally stabilized. The black giant hand struggled a few times before the shield, and finally dissipated into the air. Seeing this, the You-Know-Who's eyes flashed with surprise, but he quickly returned to that indifferent expression.
"Hmph, you have some skills, but this is just the beginning." The You-Know-Who sneered, waved his hands again, and the surrounding black smoke began to spin frantically, forming a huge black tornado. The tornado contained powerful suction and destructive power; wherever it passed, the ground was ripped up, and trees were uprooted.
Hode secretly thought it was bad; he knew that the power of this black tornado was enormous, and once caught in it, the consequences would be unimaginable. He quickly thought of a countermeasure; suddenly, he thought of the tacit understanding with Diana. He turned to look at Diana, their eyes meeting, and they instantly understood each other's thoughts.
"Diana, let us together, use the Lasso of Truth and my energy, to bind the tornado." Hode said loudly. Diananodded, holding the Lasso of Truth, and rushed towards the tornado like golden lightning. Hode followed closely behind her, releasing the energy within his body, merging with the power of the Lasso of Truth.
The Lasso of Truth, under the boost of Hode's energy, emitted a dazzling light, like a golden giant dragon, winding towards the tornado. The tornado seemed to feel the threat and began to struggle violently, trying to break free from the binding of the Lasso of Truth. But Hode and Diana held the lasso tightly, continuously injecting power.
