After flying into the sky, Noah also observed the ecological environment near the manor, and as he expected, the Resolve Rune's influence extended beyond his manor.
Noah's manor was located by a coast, with a large forest nearby, where Noah often saw wild animals like deer and Raccoons.
At this time, the trees, flowers, plants, and even animals outside the manor had changed due to the power of the Rune, most notably in their height and size.
Noah even saw a Raccoon that stood about 1.4 meters tall when upright; it is known that the average size of U.S. Raccoons when adult is about 40 to 70 centimeters long, so this one had grown so large after absorbing the essence of life energy. Noah remembered Rocket was about this size.
Besides the creatures in the forest, the area near the coast was also within the Rune energy's range. Noah had already seen several fish leap out of the sea, far exceeding the size limits of their species.
"Hmm, I feel like I can take over this entire area." Noah had previously considered buying all the surrounding land, which would make it more convenient for him to do certain things, such as deploying his larger Hextech mechanical beasts.
"Noah, do you need to handle this now?" Lissandra asked, hovering beside Noah.
"No need to rush, we can do it when we get back." The purpose of Noah and Lissandra's trip was to test the abilities of Lissandra's new body.
What? You ask why not test it in the laboratory's training room? Of course, it's for an outdoor trip with Lissandra! To cultivate more feelings.
Their destination this time was the Appalachian Mountains. The Appalachian Mountains are the longest mountain range in eastern North America, spanning the eastern regions of the United States and Canada, and are a mountain range relatively close to New York.
Noah planned to go to the western part of the Appalachian Mountains, where the terrain is rugged and transportation is inconvenient, so it is sparsely populated, almost a no-man's-land.
The two moved quickly, reaching their destination in less than a few minutes, descending into a valley.
"Let's do it here, Lissandra." Noah descended from the sky, his propulsion device scattering the leaves beneath his feet upon landing.
Lissandra, however, landed very elegantly, gently descending to the ground without stirring a speck of dust. Noah looked on with some envy; he felt that magnetic levitation was truly cool.
In the uninhabited valley, Noah and Lissandra stood beneath a steep cliff, with no trees around, only yellow desert and strangely shaped rocks of various forms.
Lissandra's body, during its creation, utilized many technologies: Project, Hextech, and Lissandra's Nano Robots technology, finally augmented with Noah's Rune power. Therefore, Lissandra's strength at this moment should be very powerful.
First, Noah and Lissandra tested various weapon technologies.
"Begin, Lissandra." Noah was somewhat expectant.
Lissandra raised her hand and gently waved it. A prismatic Nano Robots construct shot out from her hand at extreme speed, surpassing most bullets, and then struck a huge rock over six meters tall.
"Boom!"
The prismatic construct pierced through the rock as if it were tofu, drilling directly into its interior. However, under Lissandra's control, it did not pass through the back of the rock but exploded directly from within.
The massive rock shattered from the inside, and the fragmented Nano Robots shards shot out. Many stones and trees that were grazed were also cleanly cut, leaving extremely smooth incisions.
Subsequently, those shards transformed into flowing Nano Robots material, returning to Lissandra's hand.
The Nano Robots material Lissandra used was pre-stored.
'Looks like a Q ability in a game.' Noah thought to himself.
After retracting the Nano Robots material, Lissandra tapped her right foot on the ground, and a giant mechanical claw rose from the Earth, surprisingly rushing towards Noah.
As the mechanical claw moved forward, it carved three cracks into the ground.
While Noah was still puzzled by Lissandra's actions, the mechanical claw had already reached him. However, he did not dodge, as he believed Lissandra would not harm him.
Just before the mechanical claw was about to touch Noah, Lissandra suddenly vanished from her original spot, and then the giant mechanical claw began to transform into Nano Robots material, subsequently forming Lissandra out of thin air.
Noah looked at Lissandra, who was so close he could even feel a warm breath on his face. His heart began to race; was he being flirted with?
Lissandra felt Noah's slightly heavier breathing, a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and then she demonstrated various attacks.
She enveloped a giant rock with Nano Robots material, forming an ice crystal-shaped cage, and then crushed the rock inside.
She released many Nano Robots, tiny Nano Robots that formed a mist-like shape in the air. When that mist enveloped a giant rock, Noah saw the rock slowly disappearing. (Movie: The Day the Earth Stood Still scene)
Actually, it was because the Nano Robots forming the mist were gradually destroying the giant rock, so from the outside, it appeared as if the rock was vanishing into thin air. If this attack were used against an enemy, the effect would be terrifying; it would directly penetrate the enemy's body and devour everything.
Next, Noah truly witnessed the plasticity of Nano Robots technology. These were all technical abilities Lissandra possessed, powers she had in the Source Code World. (My imagination is a bit limited, how would you use Nano Robots technology? Share it so I can copy)
Furthermore, Lissandra also had a gravity manipulation technique, capable of using gravity to pull objects. This should be a complementary technology to magnetic levitation.
Next, Noah and Lissandra also tested her magic power. When constructing this body, Noah added Hextech and Project technologies, both of which can combine magic and technology. And after undergoing the baptism of the Resolve Rune, Lissandra's magical power became even stronger.
Noah could feel it just from the magic Lissandra released. It's just that Lissandra currently has few ways to use magic, such as attaching magic to attacks, or turning magic into laser attacks, or even using magic to enhance her own strength.
Speaking of strength, Noah suddenly became very curious about how strong Lissandra's body was. After all, in Avengers 2, after Ultron's plan to inject his consciousness into Vision's body was thwarted, he used Vibranium to create an even stronger body, relying on his deepening understanding of the Mind Stone.
That body was extraordinary, possessing strength even greater than Thor. Noah estimated that Ultron's strength at that time should have been greater than Hulk's, as Hulk couldn't completely suppress Thor, of course, an enraged Hulk is another matter.
Therefore, Noah felt that Lissandra's body should possess strength even greater than Ultron's, considering the amount of Vibranium used in its creation was undoubtedly far more than Ultron's. Noah is a man with a Vibranium mine, and he used a technology that combines magic and technology, plus the power of the Creation Rune.
Noah now just wanted to test how powerful Lissandra truly was!
Noah's own strength, when he first gained the Yasuo template and the Resolve Rune (weakened), was already comparable to Captain America's, and even stronger. After more than half a month of growth, Noah's physical strength had increased by nearly 5 times.
It was that fast because, in addition to the bonus from summoning hero templates, Noah also had the Resolve Rune constantly strengthening him, which is why his improvement was so rapid.
Moreover, the battle suit Noah currently wore also provided him with a significant boost. If he added the magic bonus, Noah felt he could even arm wrestle with Hulk, or even suppress him.
After Noah proposed his idea, Lissandra had no objections. She simply said "Alright" and then made her move.
"Crack!"
The ground where Lissandra stood cracked, caused by the force unleashed by her movement. A golden-haired figure flashed before Noah's eyes, moving incredibly fast, but Noah could clearly see her.
His keen mind, combined with the combat experience of several heroes, allowed Noah to react quickly. He extended his hand to block, parrying Lissandra's fair and smooth yet terrifyingly powerful calf.
A tremendous force came from his hand, causing Noah to involuntarily step backward to dissipate the force.
The ground Noah stepped on instantly cracked with fissures due to the immense force, proving how strong the Impact Noah had endured was.
After taking the attack, Noah wouldn't just sit there. He countered with a powerful blow, a huge force roaring through the air, clashing with Lissandra's simultaneously incoming punch.
"Bang! Boom!"
Two immense forces collided, generating a powerful Impact. The surrounding rubble and sand were scattered by the force.
Subsequently, the two engaged in an offensive that ordinary mortals could not even perceive. Speed and strength, when combined, every collision would produce a powerful Impact. The battle intensified, and at this point, the ripples generated by the battle were already enough to crack boulders and fell trees.
Although Noah possessed the combat skills of several heroes, Lissandra had unparalleled computational ability, always able to neutralize Noah's attacks. Neither of them used magic at this time, relying solely on their physical bodies to clash.
In the previous collisions, Noah had already felt that Lissandra's strength seemed much greater than his own. Every time he collided, he would be pushed back a certain distance by Lissandra. This made Noah realize that Lissandra's current strength seemed much greater than his, even with his battle armor's amplification.
However, even though Noah was at a disadvantage, after countless exchanges, Noah felt himself growing stronger with each strike, his movements becoming fiercer, and a fiery passion seemed to ignite within his chest.
"Roar~"
During the battle, a golden light flashed in Noah's eyes, and a golden aura suddenly ignited around his body, burning directly through his battle armor.
This was the manifestation of the power of the Sett template Noah had summoned, appearing when his Grit reached its peak in combat.
Noah felt a strong surge of power within him, wanting to unleash it fiercely. Immense strength gathered within his body.
After blocking Lissandra's attack with one hand, Noah gathered strength in his right hand, all his body's power converging there, and then unleashed it.
"The Show Stopper!!"
A golden wave of energy, carrying boundless immense force, transformed into a golden flame dragon's head, striking forward with incredible speed.
The immense force directly ripped up the ground, creating a wide scar. Lissandra felt a hint of danger and abandoned confronting this force, instead blinking and disappearing from her original spot, reappearing elsewhere (E).
The dragon's head, having lost its target, did not stop but continued to surge forward, finally striking the cliff face.
"Boom!" "Rumble~ Rumble~"
A tremendous collision sound erupted, followed by the sound of the cliff collapsing.
"The cliff is collapsing, let's leave here first." After Noah released his Grit, he returned to his original state. He came to Lissandra's side, and the two flew into the sky together.
In mid-air, Noah looked at the massive gap he had blasted into the huge cliff below him and felt he had been a bit reckless just now.
What's going on? He hasn't even drawn Malphite yet, so why is his intelligence decreasing in combat?
"Ahem, Lissandra, I'm sorry about that." After reflecting on his intelligence decline, Noah first looked at Lissandra beside him, feeling a bit embarrassed for having used such a powerful attack on her just now.
"It's alright, Noah." Of course, Lissandra wouldn't mind. She just looked at Noah and said, "Noah seems a bit concerned that I've surpassed you in terms of strength?"
Lissandra had already noticed. Although there was a face mask, Lissandra could, of course, see Noah's facial expressions, as the battle armor's control AI was still Lissandra.
"No, no, I was just thinking that I need to strengthen my training in the future. If we encounter powerful enemies, I can't always let you protect me, can I? Of course, I have to be the one to protect you all." Noah said.
In this World, Noah no longer had any relatives or friends. Now, Lissandra and Gwen were his family, so after summoning them, Noah's desire for strength also grew stronger.
Although it was the Marvel Cinematic Universe, there were still some very powerful enemies. Noah himself wasn't afraid of these things; if he couldn't win, he would run and come back later. But with Lissandra and Gwen, Noah wanted to protect them, so he couldn't be so lazy anymore.
"Noah, I look forward to the days when you protect me." Lissandra pursed her small lips, revealing a gentle and sweet smile that made Noah's heart flutter.
"Let's go, we should head back now."
