Chapter 375
The giant figure let out a deafening roar, and its body began to tremble violently.
Hode seized the opportunity to rush in front of it, gathering all his strength in his hands and slamming it fiercely toward its heart.
A powerful Energy Impact erupted from his hands, piercing directly through the giant figure's defense.
Just when everyone thought victory was in sight, a more terrifying Dark Power suddenly erupted from the heart of the giant figure.
This power was like solidified darkness, instantly enveloping Hode and the others.
Hode felt total darkness before his eyes, and his body felt as if it were being pierced by countless needles, causing unbearable pain.
"Hode!" The voices of Natasha and Yelena rang out in the darkness, calling Hode's name anxiously.
Hode gritted his teeth, struggling to remain conscious.
He felt the power within him struggling and resisting under the pressure of the darkness.
He knew he could not give up; if he did, not only would he die here, but the entire World would be plunged into an irredeemable abyss.
"I... cannot... fall..." Hode shouted in his heart.
He focused his mind, attempting to establish a deeper connection with the mysterious power within him.
In the darkness, he seemed to see one familiar figure after another—the female heroes with whom he had emotional entanglements.
Their eyes were filled with encouragement and expectation, as if telling him that he would definitely be able to overcome the difficulties before him.
A powerful conviction surged in Hode's heart, and he felt the power within him erupt like a volcanic eruption, surging forth once again.
This power broke through the shackles of the darkness, and a dazzling light radiated from Hode.
The light illuminated the entire dark space, and under its radiance, the giant figure began to gradually dissipate.
"Did we succeed?" Natasha shouted in surprise.
However, just when everyone thought the crisis was resolved, a black sphere suddenly appeared where the giant figure had dissipated.
The sphere emitted an eerie aura, constantly absorbing the surrounding energy.
"What is this thing?" Yelena asked vigilantly.
Hode frowned; he could feel that this black sphere contained immense danger.
Just then, the sphere suddenly erupted with a powerful suction, pulling everything around it toward itself.
The ground began to collapse, the air became distorted, and the entire World seemed to be swallowed by it.
"Everyone, watch out!" Hode shouted, attempting to gather his strength to resist the suction.
But the suction of the black sphere was too powerful, and Hode felt his strength being constantly drained.
"This won't work; we must find a way to destroy this sphere." Diana shouted, swinging her Lasso of Truth, attempting to snare the sphere, but as soon as the Lasso of Truth approached, it was repelled by a powerful force.
Clark roared and charged toward the sphere, attempting to shatter it with his immense strength.
But when he made contact with the sphere, a powerful Dark Power surged into his body along his arm. Clark felt a sharp pain in his body and quickly retreated.
"This sphere is strange; everyone, don't get too close," Clark said.
Wanda quickly formed seals with her hands, and streaks of red magic runes flew toward the sphere.
But when those runes made contact with the sphere, they were likewise swallowed by the Dark Power.
Tony continuously adjusted the flight posture of his War Armor in the air, launching a barrage of missiles in an attempt to blow up the sphere.
But when the missiles approached the sphere, they were sucked into its interior, having no effect at all.
Hode looked at the black sphere before him, his heart filled with anxiety.
He knew he had to find a way to destroy the sphere as soon as possible, otherwise the entire World would be consumed by it.
Just then, he suddenly thought of the emotional bonds he shared with the many female heroes.
"Perhaps our emotional power can break this black sphere," Hode muttered to himself.
He turned to look at Natasha, Yelena, Diana, Wanda, and the others, his eyes shining with firm resolve.
"Everyone, let's concentrate our power together and use our emotions to break this black sphere!" Hode shouted loudly.
Everyone nodded, forming a circle with Hode in the center.
Hode closed his eyes and concentrated, feeling the emotional bonds he shared with everyone.
Those warm, moving, and joyful moments flashed through his mind like a movie, and he transformed these emotions into a powerful force.
"Are you ready?" Hode asked, opening his eyes.
Everyone replied in unison, "Ready!"
Hode pushed his hands forward, and a massive beam of energy, formed from the convergence of everyone's emotional power, shot toward the black sphere.
The energy beam collided with the black sphere, emitting a deafening roar.
Light and darkness intertwined, and the entire Worldseemed to be shaken by this power.
In the intense collision, cracks began to appear on the black sphere.
Hode and the others felt a powerful resistance, but they did not give up, continuing to increase their output of power.
The cracks grew larger, and finally, under the Impact of the energy beam, the black sphere shattered with a bang.
A powerful energy Impact erupted from the shattered sphere, sending everyone flying backward.
Hode felt a sharp pain in his body, but he couldn't worry about that; he quickly looked around to confirm if the crisis had truly been resolved.
At this moment, the surrounding World gradually returned to peace; the collapsing ground stopped trembling, and the distorted air returned to normal.
Hode breathed a sigh of relief; he knew they had finally overcome this crisis.
"We did it..." Natasha said weakly, a look of relief on her face.
Yelena also shouted excitedly, "That's great, Hode, we did it!"
However, at this moment, Hode suddenly felt a mysterious aura flickering in the distance.
His heart stirred—could it be that this crisis hadn't truly ended?
Chapter 605: Die, All of You!
Hode forced himself to stand up, his gaze vigilantly scanning the direction from which the mysterious aura was coming.
Natasha and Yelena quickly came to his side, and the three stood back-to-back, assuming a defensive posture.
"Hode, this aura... it's not right," Natasha said, frowning, her dual pistols gripped tightly, her eyes revealing worry.
Hode nodded; he could feel that this aura contained an evil and powerful force, far greater than the threat posed by the previous giant figure and black sphere.
"No matter what it is, we must be prepared," he said in a low voice, while thinking to himself whether this power might have some connection to the previous dangers. Could it be that his emotional bonds with the many female heroes had triggered some unknown existence?
At this moment, Clark, Diana, Wanda, and Tony all arrived.
Clark patted Hode on the shoulder and said, "Hode, no matter what it is, we will face it together."
Wanda raised her hands slightly, red magic light flickering at her fingertips. "I'm ready. Let's see what this thing really is."
Tony adjusted his War Armor in the air, his various weapon systems entering standby mode. "Hmph, whatever it is, it'll have to bow down before my technology."
Just as everyone was standing by in full battle readiness, a blurred figure gradually emerged from the darkness.
The figure was tall, surrounded by a layer of eerie purple mist. Its face could not be seen, but one could only feel a pair of eyes emitting a faint, ghostly light, staring at them coldly.
"You... have ruined my plan," the figure said in a deep, hoarse voice, as if it came from the deepest hell, making people shiver.
Hode stepped forward and said loudly, "No matter what your plan is, we will not let you succeed."
He thought to himself that perhaps this time, through communication and battle with everyone, he could find an opportunity to deepen his emotional connection with a certain female hero, thereby gaining new abilities to fight this mysterious enemy.
The mysterious figure let out a cold laugh. "Just you? You are nothing but a bunch of ants."
As he spoke, he waved his hands, and streaks of purple Energy Ray shot toward everyone.
Clark roared and charged forward, using his body to block most of the Energy Rays.
His body was hit by the rays, emitting a sizzling sound, but he still gritted his teeth and held on, buying time for his companions behind him.
"Clark!" Diana saw this, shouted, and swung the Lasso of Truth, rushing toward the mysterious figure.
The Lasso of Truth in her hand was like a nimble snake, winding toward the mysterious figure.
The mysterious figure dodged slightly, evading the attack of the Lasso of Truth.
He waved his hand backhandedly, and a powerful force sent Diana flying.
Diana flipped in the air and landed steadily, but a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.
"Diana!" Hode's heart tightened. He looked at Natasha and Yelena beside him and said, "Let's go together; we can't let him hurt everyone anymore."
Natasha and Yelena nodded, and the three charged toward the mysterious figure simultaneously.
Natasha's dual pistols continuously fired bullets, while Yelena used her agile skills to quickly weave around the mysterious figure, looking for an opportunity to attack.
Hode focused his mind, feeling the power within him that was intertwined with the emotions of the many female heroes, attempting to draw new abilities from it.
Just then, Hode suddenly felt a wonderful resonance in the emotional bond between him and Wanda.
His heart stirred—could it be that because of Wanda's firmness and bravery when casting magic just now, his emotional connection with her had had a new breakthrough?
In an instant, Hode felt a powerful magical force surge into his body.
His hands began to flash with strange light, and streaks of energy waves, formed by the fusion of magic and his own power, shot toward the mysterious figure.
The mysterious figure seemed not to have expected Hodeto suddenly erupt with such powerful strength, and he quickly waved his hand to defend.
But the power of the energy waves exceeded his imagination; his body was hit by the energy waves, and he took a few steps back.
"Interesting." The mysterious figure steadied himself, a flash of surprise in his eyes, but he quickly returned to cold indifference. "However, this is far from enough."
As he spoke, he quickly formed seals with his hands, and the surrounding purple mist began to surge wildly, forming a huge vortex.
A powerful suction came from the vortex, attempting to pull everyone into it.
Hode felt his body uncontrollably flying toward the vortex, and he was greatly alarmed.
At this moment, he heard Yelena's shout: "Hode, hold on!"
Yelena disregarded the danger and rushed toward Hode, attempting to pull him back.
Natasha was also on the side, firing her dual pistols at the vortex, attempting to break its suction.
With Yelena pulling him, Hode struggled to concentrate his strength, attempting to steady himself.
He thought to himself that he could not be defeated like this; he still had so many important people to protect, and so many beautiful emotions waiting for him to cherish.
Just then, Hode suddenly felt a new change in the emotional bond between him and Diana.
He seemed to see Diana's heroic fearlessness in battle, and her determination to sacrifice herself to protect her companions.
A powerful force surged from the emotional bond between him and Diana, merging into his body.
A layer of golden light suddenly appeared around Hode's body, and this light, like armor, protected him.
He pushed his hands forward, and a massive golden energy beam shot from his hands, charging directly toward the purple vortex.
The golden energy beam collided with the purple vortex, emitting a violent explosion.
Light and energy intertwined, and the entire Worldseemed to be shrouded by this power.
After the explosion, the purple vortex gradually dissipated, and the mysterious figure was also knocked back a few steps.
He looked at Hode, a flash of anger in his eyes. "I didn't expect you to be able to erupt with such powerful strength."
Hode panted heavily, looking at the mysterious figure, and said, "No matter how powerful you are, we will not let you succeed."
He thought to himself that after this battle, his emotional connections with Natasha, Yelena, Diana, and Wandaseemed to have deepened, and he wondered if he would gain new abilities from others in the future.
The mysterious figure sneered. "Then let's see how long you can hold on." As he spoke, he launched another attack.
This time, he summoned a group of monsters made of Dark Energy, which pounced toward everyone.
Clark roared and charged toward the group of monsters, his fists raining down on them like raindrops, knocking them back one by one.
But the number of monsters was huge, and they seemed to have endless vitality, quickly surrounding Clark.
"Clark!" Hode's heart tightened. He looked at Natasha and Yelena beside him and said, "Let's go help him."
The three charged toward the group of monsters again.
Natasha shot at the monsters with her dual pistols, while Yelena fought the monsters in close combat with her daggers.
Hode used his newly acquired abilities, releasing streaks of golden energy waves, knocking the monsters back.
During the battle, Hode suddenly felt that a new emotional connection had seemingly formed between him and Tony. He saw Tony's wisdom and courage in battle, and saw his determination to constantly adjust his War Armor to protect everyone. A powerful technological force surged from the emotional bond between him and Tony, merging into his body.
Hode's hands began to glow with blue light. With a wave of his hands, streaks of Energy Ray fused from technology and magic shot toward the monsters. These Energy Rays were immensely powerful, instantly wiping out a group of monsters.
Seeing his group of monsters annihilated, the mysterious figure roared in anger. He raised his hands high, and the surrounding purple mist began to condense into a massive energy ball.
"Go to hell, all of you!" the mysterious figure shouted, throwing the energy ball toward the group.
The energy ball flew toward the group with immense power, blasting a massive crater into the ground wherever it passed. Looking at the enormous energy ball, the group was filled with despair.
Just at this critical moment, Hode suddenly felt that the emotional bonds between him and all the female heroes present had reached an unprecedented level of closeness to the "705u.com-53 Reading Club". He seemed to hear their inner voices and felt their trust and expectations for him.
An unimaginably powerful force erupted from within Hode. A massive Energy Shield appeared around his body, protecting everyone. At the same time, he pushed his hands forward, and a huge beam of energy, formed by the convergence of all emotional powers, shot toward the energy ball.
The energy beam collided with the energy ball, emitting a deafening roar. The light illuminated the entire sky, and the entire World seemed to tremble.
Amidst the intense collision, the energy ball was gradually swallowed by the energy beam. Watching this scene, the mysterious figure's eyes were filled with terror. He had not expected Hode to be able to unleash such powerful strength.
The energy beam continued to shoot toward the mysterious figure, instantly engulfing him. The mysterious figure let out a scream, and his body gradually dissipated in the light.
As the mysterious figure dissipated, the surrounding purple mist also gradually faded away. Seeing everything before them, the group breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Hode felt that the mysterious aura had not completely vanished. A thought stirred in his heart: could it be that this crisis had not truly ended? He looked around vigilantly, waiting for unknown danger to descend once more.
Chapter 606: Striving to Concentrate Power, Attempting to Steady Stance
Hode's gaze scanned the surroundings rapidly, his body tense, ready at any moment to deal with potential danger. Natasha walked to his side and said softly: "Hode, don't be too nervous; perhaps that guy really has disappeared." Her voice was gentle, carrying a hint of reassurance, though her eyes also revealed a trace of worry.
Hode shook his head slightly and said: "Natasha, I feel that the aura is still there, just hidden. We cannot let our guard down." He thought to himself that this battle with the mysterious figure had made him more deeply aware of the responsibility he carried. He not only had to protect himself but also protect the companions around him, as well as the entire World.
At this moment, Wanda walked over. The red magic light had faded, but her eyes still shone with a firm radiance. "Hode, no matter what happens next, I will face it with you." She looked at Hode, her eyes full of trust.
Hode felt a warmth in his heart. He looked at Wanda and said: "Wanda, thank you. With you here, I feel much more at ease." He felt that the emotional bond between him and Wanda seemed to have strengthened even more, and a warm force flowed through his heart.
Tony circled in the air once, then landed beside the group. "Hey, guys, I think we should first find a safe place to rest. This battle has consumed a lot of our energy." As he spoke, he adjusted various parameters of his War Armor.
Clark nodded and said: "Tony is right, we need to recover our stamina to better deal with the dangers ahead." He looked at Hode, his eyes full of encouragement, "Hode, you did very well; we believe in you."
A surge of pride rose in Hode's heart, and he said: "Okay, let's find a place to rest first. But everyone must remain vigilant."
The group began searching for a suitable resting place. They arrived at an abandoned factory; it was relatively hidden and fairly safe. Everyone found a spot to sit down and began to recover their stamina.
Hode sat in a corner, closed his eyes, and tried to calm himself down. He recalled the little moments shared with different female heroes; every time their emotional connection deepened, he gained a new ability. He thought to himself that if he could further increase his intimacy with them, perhaps he could obtain even more powerful strength to deal with the upcoming crisis.
Just then, Yelena walked over, sat beside Hode, and said softly: "Hode, what are you thinking about?" Her eyes held a hint of curiosity.
Hode opened his eyes, looked at Yelena, and said: "I was thinking about what kind of dangers we might encounter next. I must become stronger to protect everyone."
Yelena smiled slightly and said: "Hode, you are already very strong. Moreover, we will all be by your side to support you." As she spoke, she gently held Hode's hand.
Hode felt a current of electricity pass from Yelena's hand, and his heartbeat involuntarily quickened. He looked at Yelena, a flash of tenderness in his eyes. "Yelena, thank you. With you by my side, I have more confidence."
Just then, Hode suddenly felt a miraculous change in the emotional bond between him and Yelena. He seemed to see Yelena's bravery and resilience in battle, and saw her determination to sacrifice herself to protect her companions. A powerful force surged from the emotional bond between him and Yelena to the "705u.com-53 Reading Club", merging into his body.
A layer of faint green light suddenly appeared around Hode's body, wrapping around him like a light veil. He felt his body become lighter, and his speed had greatly increased.
"This is..." Hode was startled; he hadn't expected that the warming of his emotional bond with Yelena would actually grant him a new ability.
Yelena also felt Hode's change. She looked at Hode in surprise and said: "Hode, you... there seems to be something different about you."
Hode stood up, stretched his body, and said: "I seem to have gained a new ability; my speed and agility have both improved."
Hearing Hode's words, everyone gathered around. Natasha smiled and said: "Hode, it seems you've become stronger again. This is good news for us."
Wanda also nodded and said: "That's right, Hode. We believe you will become stronger and stronger."
Just as everyone was talking, suddenly, a noisy sound came from outside the factory. The group immediately became vigilant, picking up their weapons, ready to deal with potential danger.
Hode walked to the door, opened it cautiously, and looked outside. He saw a group of You-Know-Who dressed in black combat uniforms walking toward the factory. Their eyes were cold, and they exuded an evil aura.
"It seems trouble has come again," Hode thought to himself. He turned to the group and said: "Everyone prepare for battle; these guys don't look simple."
The group quickly assumed a combat stance, waiting for the You-Know-Who to arrive. When the You-Know-Whowalked into the factory, Hode said loudly: "Who are you? Why have you come here?"
The lead You-Know-Who sneered and said: "Hode, do you think that by defeating that guy you can rest easy? We are the true masterminds. Today, you will all die here."
Hode's heart tightened; he felt that the strength of these You-Know-Who could not be underestimated. He looked at the companions beside him and said: "Everyone be careful, these guys are not easy to deal with."
The battle was on the verge of breaking out. The You-Know-Who launched attacks one after another. Their attack methods were varied; some used firearms, some used magic, and others used close-combat skills.
Clark roared and charged at the You-Know-Who. His body was like steel, blocking most of the attacks. Dianabrandished the Lasso of Truth, winding it toward the You-Know-Who. In her hands, the Lasso of Truth was like a nimble snake, making it difficult for the You-Know-Who to dodge.
Wanda raised her hands slightly, and red magic light flickered at her fingertips. Streaks of magic rays shot toward the You-Know-Who, pushing them back. Tonyadjusted his War Armor in the air, his various weapon systems firing constantly, conducting long-range strikes against the You-Know-Who.
Hode, meanwhile, used the new ability he had just acquired, weaving rapidly among the You-Know-Who. His speed was extremely fast, making it difficult for the You-Know-Who to catch his figure. He constantly searched for flaws in the You-Know-Who and then launched attacks.
Natasha and Yelena were no less impressive. The twin guns in Natasha's hands constantly sprayed bullets, while Yelena utilized her agile skills, moving rapidly around the You-Know-Who and attacking them with daggers.
However, the strength of the You-Know-Who was indeed very strong. They quickly adapted to the group's attack methods and began to counterattack. One You-Know-Whosuddenly unleashed a powerful magic, trapping Clark. Clark struggled with all his might but could not break free.
"Clark!" Seeing this, Diana shouted and charged at the You-Know-Who who was casting the magic. The Lasso of Truth wound toward the You-Know-Who, but the You-Know-Who dodged it easily. With a backhand wave, a powerful force sent Diana flying.
Hode's heart tightened; he looked at the trapped Clark and the injured Diana, and a surge of anger rose in his heart. He decided not to hold back his strength anymore and to go all out against these You-Know-Who.
Just then, Hode suddenly felt a miraculous change in the emotional bond between him and Diana again. He seemed to see Diana's heroism and fearlessness in battle, and saw her determination to sacrifice herself to protect her companions. A powerful force surged from the emotional bond between him and Diana, merging into his body.
A layer of dazzling golden light suddenly appeared around Hode's body; this light was like the Sun, illuminating the entire factory. His strength was greatly enhanced, and he pushed his hands forward, a huge golden energy wave shooting toward the You-Know-Who.
The You-Know-Who were startled by this sudden attack, and they dodged one after another. But the power of the energy wave was immense, and some You-Know-Whowere still hit, falling to the ground.
The lead You-Know-Who saw this scene, a flash of surprise in his eyes. He said: "I didn't expect you to have such power. However, this is still far from enough." As he spoke, he quickly formed hand seals, and the surrounding You-Know-Who began to gather together, forming a massive energy formation.
A powerful suction force emanated from the energy formation, attempting to pull everyone into it. Hode felt his body flying uncontrollably toward the energy formation, and he was greatly alarmed. He strove to concentrate his power, attempting to steady his stance.
Just then, he heard the shouts of his companions: "Hode, hold on!"
A firm conviction rose in Hode's heart; he could not be defeated just like that. He concentrated his mind, feeling the power within him that was intertwined with the emotions of many female heroes, attempting to draw more energy from it.
Suddenly, Hode felt that the emotional bonds between him and all the female heroes present had reached an unprecedented level of closeness. He seemed to hear their inner voices and felt their trust and expectations for him.
An unimaginably powerful force erupted from within Hode. A massive Energy Shield appeared around his body, protecting everyone. At the same time, he pushed his hands forward, and a huge beam of energy, formed by the convergence of all emotional powers, shot toward the energy formation.
The energy beam collided with the energy formation, emitting a deafening roar. The light illuminated the entire sky, and the entire factory was trembling.
Amidst the intense collision, the energy formation was gradually swallowed by the energy beam. Watching this scene, the You-Know-Who's eyes were filled with terror. They had not expected Hode to be able to unleash such powerful strength.
The Energy Ray continued to shoot towards the You-Know-Who, instantly engulfing them.
The You-Know-Who let out screams as their bodies gradually dissipated in the light.
With the dissipation of the You-Know-Who, the factory returned to peace.
Everyone looked at what was before them and breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Hode felt that the mysterious aura had not completely disappeared.
He looked around vigilantly, waiting for unknown danger to descend once more...
Chapter 607: Let's find a way to stop it together!
Hode frowned, his gaze scanning the surroundings. Although they had just repelled the You-Know-Who, his intuition told him that the danger had not truly departed.
Natasha walked to his side, gently patted his shoulder, and said, "Hode, don't worry too much; at least we are temporarily safe for now."
Her eyes were filled with concern as she tried to help Hoderelax.
Hode turned his head, looked at Natasha, and sighed slightly, "Natasha, I always feel that this is just the calm before the storm. There must be a greater force behind those You-Know-Who, and we must be better prepared."
Natasha nodded and said seriously, "I understand. No matter what happens next, I will fight by your side."
At this moment, Wanda also walked over, the fluctuations of magic energy from the battle still lingering on her. "Hode, I feel that there seems to be a faint, evil force watching us."
Wanda's voice carried a hint of gravity, and the red magiclight flickered at her fingertips, as if she were ready to deal with sudden situations at any time.
Hode's heart tightened; Wanda's magic perception had always been keen, and her intuition wouldn't be wrong.
He took a deep breath and said, "Everyone, don't let your guard down yet. We need to recover our strength as soon as possible and discuss our next strategy."
Everyone sat in a circle, and Clark spoke first, "Hode, I think we should first investigate the origin of these You-Know-Who, find their lair, and solve the problem at its root."
Tony was fiddling with his War Armor on the side and chimed in, "That's right, know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated. My War Armor can collect some data from the battle and analyze their attack patterns and weaknesses."
Hode pondered for a moment and said, "Tony, then please finish the data analysis as soon as possible. Clark, you and Diana can go around and explore to see if there are any other clues. Wanda, Natasha, Yelena, stay here at the factory with me. On one hand, protect this place, and on the other hand, see if we can summarize some experience from the battle just now."
Everyone nodded and began to take action.
Hode watched the busy figures of his partners, and a sense of responsibility surged in his heart. He knew that he shouldered the heavy task of protecting everyone, and the emotional connection with these female superheroes might be the key to overcoming difficulties.
Wanda walked to Hode's side and said softly, "Hode, actually, I have always admired you. When facing so many dangers, you can always remain calm and lead everyone forward."
Hode looked at Wanda, a hint of gentleness flashing in his eyes, "Wanda, with you all by my side, I have the courage to face everything. Moreover, your magic power has also been a great help to us."
The two smiled at each other, and a subtle emotion permeated the air.
Just then, Hode suddenly felt a wonderful change in the emotional bond between him and Wanda, and a powerful energy surged within his body.
He felt that his magic perception ability had been greatly improved, as if he could perceive all the magic fluctuations around him.
"Wanda, I seem to have... gained a new ability again," Hode said with some pleasant surprise.
A hint of surprise also flashed in Wanda's eyes, "Really? It seems that the emotional connection between us can really bring unexpected power."
Just then, a sharp alarm sounded outside the factory. Hode's heart tightened, and he immediately stood up, "Everyone, be careful, danger might be coming!"
Everyone quickly picked up their weapons and took a fighting stance.
A group of mechanical creatures with strange appearances surged in from all directions; their bodies were made of metal and unknown materials, flashing with cold light.
The eyes of these mechanical creatures emitted red light, and they sprayed powerful Energy Rays from their mouths.
"What are these things?" Yelena asked in surprise.
Hode clenched his fists tightly and said, "No matter what they are, we cannot let them get close to the factory. Everyone, get ready for battle!"
Clark roared and rushed into the group of mechanical creatures. His body was like a cannonball, smashing several mechanical creatures into pieces.
Diana swung the Lasso of Truth, weaving between the mechanical creatures, wrapping them up one by one, and then throwing them away with force.
Wanda raised her hands, and the red magic light surged toward the mechanical creatures like a tide. Wherever the magic light reached, the mechanical creatures were destroyed one after another.
Tony adjusted his War Armor in the air, and various weapon systems fired continuously, carrying out long-range strikes on the mechanical creatures.
Hode, meanwhile, used his newly acquired ability to sense the energy core location of the mechanical creatures.
He quickly shuttled between the mechanical creatures, accurately finding their weaknesses, and then launched attacks. Each attack could destroy one mechanical creature.
Natasha and Yelena were no less impressive. The dual guns in Natasha's hands continuously sprayed bullets, accurately hitting the key parts of the mechanical creatures.
Yelena used her agility to move quickly around the mechanical creatures, attacking them with daggers.
However, these mechanical creatures seemed endless, constantly surging in from all directions. Moreover, their attacks were becoming more and more intense, making it difficult for everyone to cope.
"This is not a solution. We must find a way to find their source and destroy them!" Hode shouted.
Clark nodded, "I will go look around; you hold on here!" Saying this, Clark flew in the direction from which the mechanical creatures were surging.
Shortly after Clark left, a huge mechanical leader appeared before everyone.
Its body was several times larger than the other mechanical creatures, and it emitted a powerful energy fluctuation.
The mechanical leader waved its hands, and a huge energy beam shot toward everyone.
Everyone dodged, but the power of the energy beam was immense, and it still destroyed a part of the factory.
A surge of anger welled up in Hode's heart, and he decided not to sit still and wait for death. He concentrated, feeling the power intertwined with the emotions of the many female heroes within him, trying to draw more energy from it.
Suddenly, Hode felt the emotional bond between him and Natasha change again. He seemed to see Natasha's calmness and decisiveness in battle, and saw her determination to sacrifice herself to protect her companions.
A powerful force surged out from the emotional bond between him and Natasha, merging into his body.
A layer of blue light appeared around Hode's body; this light was like frost, emitting a cold aura.
He felt that his speed and strength had been greatly improved, and he had also gained an ability to control frost.
"Natasha, thank you!" Hode said loudly, then rushed toward the mechanical leader.
He waved his hands, and rays of frost shot toward the mechanical leader. The frost rays hit the mechanical leader, causing a thick layer of frost to form on the surface of its body, making its movements sluggish.
Seeing Hode's change, Wanda's fighting spirit surged. She concentrated, combining her magic power with Hode's power. The red magic light and the blue frost light intertwined, forming a powerful energy storm.
The energy storm swept toward the mechanical leader, completely engulfing it. The mechanical leader let out screams in the energy storm, and its body was gradually destroyed.
With the dissipation of the mechanical leader, the other mechanical creatures stopped attacking one after another and fell to the ground.
Everyone looked at what was before them and breathed a sigh of relief. However, Hode felt that the mysterious aura had not completely disappeared.
He looked around vigilantly. Suddenly, he saw a huge black hole appear in the sky, and the black hole emitted a powerful suction, trying to pull everyone into it.
"Everyone, be careful!" Hode shouted. Everyone tried their best to steady themselves, but the suction of the black hole was becoming stronger and stronger, making it difficult for them to resist.
Just then, Clark flew back from the distance. He saw the black hole, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, "What is this thing? How did it suddenly appear?"
Hode said loudly, "Clark, let's find a way to stop it together!"
Clark nodded, and then flew toward the black hole with Hode. They tried to use their strength to resist the suction of the black hole, but the power of the black hole was too great, and they gradually felt overwhelmed.
"Hode, if this continues, we will all be sucked in!" Clarkshouted.
Hode was anxious; he knew he had to find a way as soon as possible. He concentrated, feeling the power intertwined with the emotions of the many female heroes within him, trying to find a breakthrough.
Suddenly, Hode felt that the emotional bond between him and all the female heroes present had reached an unprecedented degree of closeness.
He seemed to hear their inner voices and felt their trust and expectations for him. A power too great to imagine burst out from Hode's body.
A huge Energy Shield appeared around his body, protecting everyone. At the same time, he pushed his hands forward, and a huge energy beam formed by all the emotional power shot toward the black hole.
The energy beam collided with the black hole, emitting a deafening roar. The light illuminated the entire sky, and the whole World was trembling...
Chapter 608: The souls of the two are tightly connected at this moment.
The collision between the energy beam and the black hole continued, and the light became increasingly blinding, as if it were about to tear the entire Universe apart.
Hode gritted his teeth, veins popping on his forehead. He could feel the power originating from the emotional intertwining surging within him, every strand carrying the trust and expectations of his partners.
"Hold on, Hode! We will definitely win!" Natasha shouted inside the Energy Shield, her eyes filled with firmness and encouragement.
Hode turned his head slightly and saw Natasha's resolute face. A warm current surged in his heart, and this warm current turned into an even more powerful force injected into his body.
Wanda clenched her fists tightly, and the red magic light flickered constantly around her, echoing with Hode's Energy Shield. "Hode, I believe in you. Let's fight this evil together!"
Wanda's voice carried a hint of trembling, but more of it was determination. Hode felt Wanda's magic power resonating with him, as if the souls of the two were tightly connected at this moment.
Yelena stood guard nearby, scanning the surroundings vigilantly. Her eyes were sharp as a hawk's, and the dagger in her hand was ready to deal with any danger that might appear from the "705u.com-53 Reading Club". "Hode, don't get distracted, we are all behind you!" Yelenashouted. Her voice was crisp and powerful, making Hodefeel more secure.
Clark was by Hode's side, his body radiating a golden light, resisting the black hole's suction alongside Hode's Energy Shield. "Hode, we fight side by side, nothing can stump us!" Clark said loudly. His voice was like a booming bell, full of power.
Hode took a deep breath, focused his mind, and gathered all his emotional strength into his hands. He felt the emotional bonds between himself and every female hero become tougher; these bonds were like invisible threads, tightly connecting their powers together.
Suddenly, the black hole's suction seemed to weaken a little. Hode felt a surge of joy, knowing this was their chance to counterattack. He shouted, pushing his hands forward violently. The energy beam instantly became thicker, and the light became even more dazzling. Under this powerful energy Impact, the black hole began to tremble violently, letting out bursts of painful roars.
"Push a little harder, we're about to succeed!" Hodeshouted, his voice full of excitement and anticipation. Hearing Hode, everyone increased their power output. Natasha's dual pistols fired bullets continuously, the bullets imbued with her will and strength, shooting toward the black hole; Wanda's red magic light was like a surging tide, impacting the black hole wave after wave; Yelenautilized her agility, moving rapidly around the Energy Shield, dispersing small energy fluctuations that tried to approach.
Clark also gave his all. His body was like a burning Sun, releasing endless energy. Together with Hode, he kept pushing the energy beam toward the black hole. With everyone's joint efforts, the black hole finally began to shrink gradually, and that powerful suction grew weaker and weaker.
However, just when everyone thought victory was in sight, a black Energy Ray suddenly shot out from the black hole, heading toward Hode. Hode was startled; he hadn't expected the black hole to still have the ability to counterattack. He wanted to dodge, but the speed of the black Energy Ray was too fast, and he had no time to react.
At this critical moment, Natasha suddenly rushed over, using her body to block in front of Hode. The black Energy Ray hit Natasha, and she let out a muffled groan as her body flew backward. Hode widened his eyes, his heart filled with terror and anger. He caught Natasha, and seeing her pale face, felt a sharp pain in his heart.
"Natasha, are you okay?" Hode asked anxiously. Natashaopened her eyes slightly and said weakly: "Hode, don't worry about me, keep fighting..." A Flash of determination crossed Hode's eyes. He laid Natasha down gently, then stood up, his eyes filled with anger and killing intent.
"You hurt Natasha, I will make you pay the price!" Hoderoared, and a powerful burst of energy erupted around his body again. This time, his energy contained endless anger and sorrow, a power that made the entire space tremble.
Hode quickly formed seals with his hands, muttering under his breath. Suddenly, a giant frost vortex appeared around his body, radiating a bone-chilling cold. The frost vortex swept rapidly toward the black hole, freezing everything in its path. Under the Impact of the frost vortex, the black Energy Ray was instantly frozen into ice and then shattered.
The black hole seemed to sense Hode's anger; it trembled violently again, attempting to release another Energy Ray. But Hode would not give it that chance. He controlled the frost vortex, tightly wrapping it around the black hole. The frost continuously eroded the black hole until its volume grew smaller and smaller, eventually disappearing without a trace.
With the disappearance of the black hole, that mysterious aura also vanished completely. Everyone looked at what was before them and let out a sigh of relief. Hode rushed to Natasha's side and held her in his arms. "Natasha, you must hold on!" Hode said anxiously, tears shimmering in his eyes.
At this moment, Wanda walked over, crouched down, and placed her hand on Natasha's chest. Red magic light emanated from her hand, enveloping Natasha. "Hode, let me try, my magic might be able to save her." Wanda said. Hode nodded, his eyes full of anticipation.
Under Wanda's magical healing, Natasha's complexion gradually returned to a rosy hue. She slowly opened her eyes, looked at Hode, and smiled slightly. "Hode, I'm okay..." Natasha said weakly. Hode hugged her tightly, his heart filled with gratitude and relief.
"Thank you, Wanda." Hode said to Wanda. Wanda shook her head and said: "Don't thank me, we are partners, this is what I should do..."
After this battle, everyone felt exhausted. They decided to rest in the factory first to recover their strength. Hode held Natasha and found a relatively quiet place to sit. He looked at Natasha, his heart filled with tenderness and love.
"Natasha, don't be so impulsive in the future, I will protect you well." Hode said softly. Natasha leaned into Hode's arms and said: "Hode, I know you will protect me, but I also cannot just watch you get hurt."
The two looked at each other and smiled, a warm atmosphere permeating between them. Just then, Yelenawalked over. Looking at Hode and Natasha, she smiled and said: "You two are really sweet, but we can't just immerse ourselves in this comfort zone, oh, there are still many dangers waiting for us to face."
Hode stood up and said: "Yelena is right, we cannot lower our guard. The black hole and mechanical creatures that appeared this time are definitely not coincidental; there must be a bigger conspiracy behind this."
Clark also walked over and said: "Hode, I think we should contact the other Avengers and Justice League members as soon as possible to discuss a countermeasure." Hodenodded and said: "Good, Tony, is your War Armor's communication function still working?"
Tony was fiddling with his War Armor on the side and said: "It should be, let me try." Saying that, Tony activated the War Armor's communication function and began trying to contact the other members.
In the process of waiting for the connection, Hode's mind was filled with thoughts. He knew the next battle would be even tougher, but he was not afraid. Because he had these trustworthy partners, and those female superheroes with whom he had deep emotional connections. He believed that as long as they were united as one, they would certainly be able to overcome all difficulties.
Just then, Tony said excitedly: "Connected! It's Steve and Bruce, they said they would rush over to rendezvous with us as soon as possible." Hode felt a surge of joy; he knew that with the support of the Avengers and the Justice League, their chances of winning had increased a bit more.
Everyone began waiting for the arrival of reinforcements in the factory. Hode sat beside Natasha, chatting with her softly. Wanda was resting with her eyes closed on the side, recovering her magic power. Clark and Tony were discussing the next battle strategy. Yelena was observing the surroundings vigilantly, preventing any unexpected situations from happening.
Time passed second by second. Finally, the familiar roar of engines came from the sky. Hode and the others looked up, only to see the members of the Avengers and the Justice League piloting their respective aircraft, flying toward the factory. Their figures looked exceptionally mighty under the sunlight, as if they were a group of Angels guarding the World.
Hode stood up, looking at the approaching reinforcements, his heart filled with confidence. He knew a new battle was about to begin, and they were fully prepared...
Chapter 609: Mechanical Leader Completely Destroyed
The aircraft landed slowly on the open ground in front of the factory, and the cabin door opened. Steve Rogersstepped out first with a steady gait, his shield gleaming with a metallic luster in the sunlight. Bruce Bannerfollowed closely behind; although he tried to remain calm, a hint of nervousness still revealed itself in his eyes. Immediately after, Wonder Woman Diana walked over holding the Lasso of Truth, stepping with an elegant and firm gait, followed by the Flash, Barry, who was looking around excitedly like a child.
"Hode, we're here!" Steve said loudly, his voice full of power and a sense of security. Hode stepped forward, shook hands firmly with Steve, and said: "Steve, you came at just the right time, this crisis is even more serious than we imagined."
Diana walked to Hode, looking at him with gentle eyes, and said: "Hode, don't worry, we will get through this together." Hode looked at Diana's beautiful face, and a warm current surged in his heart. He recalled the bits and pieces of his time with Diana—every date, every battle fought side-by-side—all of which constantly increased their intimacy, and because of this, he had obtained a portion of Diana's divine power, his body becoming tougher and his strength enhanced.
"Diana, with you here, I fear nothing." Hode said softly, his eyes filled with love. Diana smiled slightly, reached out to gently stroke Hode's cheek, and said: "Silly, we will always be together."
At this time, Bruce stepped forward and said: "Hode, we detected that after the black hole disappeared, there were still some abnormal energy fluctuations in the surrounding space; I'm afraid there is a bigger crisis waiting for us." Hode nodded and said: "I felt it too, we must find the root of the problem as soon as possible."
Barry said eagerly from the side: "Then what are we waiting for? Let me go and scout the surroundings!" Saying that, he transformed into a bolt of lightning and disappeared from the spot instantly. Before long, Barry appeared in front of everyone again. His face carried a hint of anxiety as he said: "It's bad, I discovered some mysterious mechanical creatures appearing around the factory, and they are gathering toward this side."
Hearing this, everyone became vigilant immediately. Clarkclenched his fists and said: "It seems to be another fierce battle, everyone get ready." Hode took a deep breath and focused his mind; he could feel the emotional bond between himself and Diana continuously providing him with power.
Soon, a group of mechanical creatures appeared in everyone's field of vision. These mechanical creatures had various forms; some had sharp claws, while others were shooting flames. They let out ear-piercing roars and rushed toward the group.
Hode shouted and was the first to rush up. A layer of faint divine power light surrounded his body. Every punch he threw carried powerful force, knocking back the approaching mechanical creatures one after another. Dianawas not to be outdone; she swung the Lasso of Truth, binding the mechanical creatures one by one, and then flung them far away with force.

Although Natasha had just been injured, she still persisted in the fight. Holding dual pistols, she nimbly threaded through the mechanical creatures, her bullets accurately striking their vital spots. Wanda, on the other hand, unleashed a red magic light, enveloping a group of mechanical creatures. As the magic light flickered, the mechanical creatures were broken down into fragments one after another.
Yelena used her agility to move quickly through the horde of mechanical creatures, searching for their weaknesses. The dagger in her hand was like lightning, dealing fatal damage to the mechanical creatures with every strike. Clark was like a moving hill; he used his body to block the mechanical creatures' attacks, then waved his hands, flipping a whole area of them to the ground.
However, these mechanical creatures seemed endless, constantly pouring in from all directions. Hode and the others gradually found it difficult, beginning to feel overwhelmed.
"We can't go on like this. We must find their command center and destroy it," Hode said loudly. Diana nodded and said, "Alright, let's find it together."
Just then, a massive mechanical leader appeared before them. This mechanical leader was a full three stories tall, its body composed of various hard metals, radiating powerful energy fluctuations. It let out a roar, and the surrounding mechanical creatures stopped their attacks, lining up neatly behind it.
"It seems he is the commander of these mechanical creatures," Clark said. Hode clenched his fists and said, "No matter how powerful it is, we must defeat it."
The mechanical leader was the first to attack, stretching out a massive mechanical arm to grab at Hode and the others. Hode and the rest quickly dodged; the mechanical arm missed, smashing a huge crater into the ground.
Taking the opportunity, Hode rushed forward. He leaped high into the air and threw a punch at the mechanical leader's head. The mechanical leader extended its other arm, blocking Hode's attack. Hode felt a powerful force transfer over, and his body was sent flying backward from the Impact.
Seeing this, Diana immediately rushed forward and caught Hode. Looking at him, she asked, "Hode, are you alright?" Hode shook his head and replied, "I'm fine. Let's go together."
Diana nodded and rushed toward the mechanical leader again with Hode. The two of them cooperated tacitly, with Hode leading the attack and Diana assisting from the side. Natasha, Wanda, Yelena, and Clark also joined the fray, attacking the mechanical leader from different directions in an attempt to find its weakness.
Under everyone's joint assault, the mechanical leader gradually struggled to hold its ground. Cracks began to appear across its body, and its energy fluctuations became unstable.
"One more push, we're about to succeed!" Hode shouted. Hearing Hode's words, everyone intensified their attacks.
Just then, the mechanical leader suddenly let out a roar, and a powerful energy shockwave erupted around its body. Everyone was forced back by the shockwave, while some of the weaker mechanical creatures were directly destroyed by the Impact.
Stabilizing himself, Hode looked at the mechanical leader, his heart filled with anger. He knew they had to end this battle as quickly as possible, or the consequences would be unimaginable.
Concentrating, he once again felt the emotional bond with Diana providing him with power. This time, he decided to unleash the joint skill he had unlocked after reaching a certain level of intimacy with Diana—Divine Power Storm.
Hode and Diana shared a look and then extended their hands at the same time. A massive Energy Vortex formed between their hands, containing immense divine power and magic. The Energy Vortex expanded rapidly, sweeping toward the mechanical leader.
Sensing this powerful force, the mechanical leader tried to dodge, but it was already too late. The Energy Vortexwrapped tightly around it, constantly eroding its body. The mechanical leader let out agonizing roars as its body gradually disintegrated under the influence of the Energy Vortex.
Ultimately, the mechanical leader was completely destroyed, turning into a pile of scrap metal scattered on the ground. Seeing their leader destroyed, the surrounding mechanical creatures stopped their attacks and fled in all directions.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief as they looked at the scene before them. Hode walked over to Diana, hugged her tightly, and said, "Diana, thank you. Without you, I might not have been able to defeat it." Leaning into Hode's embrace, Diana said, "Hode, we are partners and lovers. I will always stay by your side."
Just then, Tony's War Armor communicator suddenly rang. Tony connected the call, his expression becoming extremely grave. After hanging up, he said to everyone, "This is bad. Our satellites have detected another massive Energy Vortex on the other side of the Earth, and this Energy Vortex is constantly expanding. I'm afraid it will trigger an even greater disaster."
Hearing this, everyone's expressions turned very serious. Hode took a deep breath and said, "It seems our battle isn't over yet. Is everyone ready?" Everyone nodded, their eyes filled with determination.
"Alright, let's go!" Hode said loudly. Everyone boarded their respective aircraft and flew toward the direction of the Energy Vortex. During the flight, Hode's mind was filled with countless thoughts. He knew that the upcoming battle would be even more difficult, but he wasn't afraid. This was because he had these trustworthy companions, as well as those female superheroes with whom he shared deep emotional connections. He believed that as long as they were united, they would surely overcome any difficulty.
The aircraft drew arcs across the sky, speeding toward the unknown danger. And the emotional bond between Hodeand the female superheroes would continue to provide them with powerful strength in the upcoming battles, allowing them to maintain steadfast conviction and fearless courage in the face of numerous crises...
Chapter 610: Yes, We Succeeded
As the aircraft pierced through layers of clouds, Hodelooked at the scenery passing by outside the window, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He knew very well that the Energy Vortex they were facing this time was by no means ordinary, and his emotional bond with the female superheroes had become his greatest reliance at this moment.
"Hode, don't worry too much," Diana said gently, softly squeezing his hand. "We've been through so many dangers; we will surely pull through this time as well." Hode turned his head, looking at Diana's determined eyes, and a warm current welled up in his heart. He tightly squeezed her hand back and said, "With you here, I feel much more at ease."
Just then, Natasha turned her head from the pilot's seat and teased, "Oh, can you two stop showing off your affection right now? Wait until the crisis is resolved before you get all lovey-dovey." Hearing this, everyone laughed, and the tense atmosphere eased up a bit.
Wanda leaned over, blinked, and said, "Hode, once this crisis is over, you have to spend some quality time with me. I've recently researched some new magic and want to try it out with you." Hode smiled and nodded, "Sure, Wanda. I'm also looking forward to your new magic."
Yelena, who was silently wiping her dagger on the side, suddenly spoke up, "Hode, no matter what danger we face, I will protect you." Hode's heart stirred. Looking at Yelena's serious expression, he said, "Yelena, thank you. I will protect all of you as well."
Clark patted Hode on the shoulder and said, "Hode, we're partners. We've fought side-by-side so many times; we will definitely win this time too." Hode nodded heavily, his heart filled with fighting spirit.
Soon, the aircraft arrived above the area where the Energy Vortex was located. Looking through the window, everyone saw a massive purple Energy Vortex spinning wildly. The surrounding space was distorted beyond recognition, and from time to time, lightning-like energy beams shot out from the vortex, striking the ground below and triggering explosions.
"The energy fluctuations of this Energy Vortex are even stronger than we imagined," Bruce said, his brow furrowed as he looked at the detection device in his hand. "Everyone must be careful."
Everyone put on their respective gear, preparing to land. Hode took a deep breath and exchanged a look with Diana. The two nodded in tacit agreement, then leaped out of the aircraft first. The others followed closely behind, dropping into the battlefield one after another like dumplings into boiling water.
The moment they landed, a powerful blast of energy rushed over them. Hode felt his body sway, almost losing his footing. He quickly concentrated, feeling his emotional bond with Diana provide him with power once more. A faint Divine Power Shield instantly surfaced around his body, blocking the energy Impact.
"Everyone disperse and search for the Energy Vortex's weakness!" Hode shouted loudly. Everyone immediately went into action, rushing in different directions.
Hode and Diana formed a group, cautiously approaching the Energy Vortex. Along the way, energy beams constantly shot out from the vortex, attempting to block their advance. Cooperating with each other, Hode used his shield to deflect the energy beams while Diana took the opportunity to bind some of the approaching energy fragments with her Lasso of Truth.
"Hode, I feel like the core of this Energy Vortex is located at the very center of the vortex," Diana said while dodging the energy beams. Hode nodded, "I think so too, but getting to the center won't be easy. The surrounding energy is too powerful."
Just then, a pack of monsters condensed from energy surged out from the Energy Vortex, pouncing toward them. These monsters came in various shapes; some had massive wings, while others were covered in sharp spikes. They let out shrill cries and brandished their claws, launching attacks at Hode and Diana.
With a loud shout, Hode brandished his fists and rushed forward. Each of his punches carried immense divine power, knocking back the approaching monsters. Dianawas not to be outdone either; she swung her Lasso of Truth, binding the monsters one by one before throwing them far away with a powerful swing.
However, these monsters seemed endless, constantly pouring out of the Energy Vortex. Hode and Dianagradually began to tire, and their movements started to slow down.
"This can't go on, we have to think of something," Dianasaid, gasping for breath. Hode furrowed his brows in thought. Suddenly, something occurred to him, and he said, "Diana, do you remember the joint skill we acquired before? Perhaps we can use it again to break through the encirclement of these monsters."
