Debbie's trembling hands tightly grasped Mark's uninjured right arm, touching the hot skin and the blood that had not yet dried.
She looked at the forced, twisted smile on her son's face, and the fear in her heart was temporarily suppressed by the surging maternal instinct.
"Mark...your injury..."
Her voice was choked with sobs.
"It's okay, Mom...it's healing..."
Mark's voice was still hoarse, but with an unprecedented calmness.
He could feel the power of Vitrum in his body like a rushing underground river. Under the stimulation of the life-and-death explosion just now, it was washing and repairing his broken body at an unprecedented speed.
The broken bones made a slight buzzing sound, and the muscle fibers became tougher in the severe pain of tearing and reassembling.
The sense of power beneath the tired body is like a volcano about to awaken, ready to stir.
"We have to get out of here! Now!"
Debbie pulled Mark toward the pickup truck.
She started the engine, and the dilapidated car body roared under the heavy load, rushing into the dilapidated factory rooms crisscrossing deeper into the abandoned industrial area.
Mark leaned on the passenger seat, closed his eyes and concentrated.
His perception was like an invisible radar, scanning the surrounding area for several kilometers with unprecedented clarity.
He could hear the chaotic hustle and bustle of the city in the distance, smell the lingering gunpowder smoke and the unique rusty smell of the blood of the Vitrum warriors on the wind, and even feel that above the atmosphere, some kind of cold, huge will was locking onto this area!
"Mom, drive faster!"
Mark opened his eyes suddenly, and a golden light flashed in his eyes.
His voice held an unprecedented urgency.
Debbie slammed on the gas, sending the pickup truck lurching wildly over a road littered with rubble and abandoned pipes.
Almost at the moment Mark finished speaking!
Buzz——!!!
A beam of blazing white energy with a diameter of more than ten meters, like a spear of judgment, pierced down from the extremely high clouds without any warning!
It struck precisely and devastatingly the center of a huge abandoned chemical plant that the pickup truck had just passed by a second ago!
Boom—boom boom boom!!!
A terrifying explosion that cannot be described in words!
The entire huge reinforced concrete factory building was like being thrown into the core of the sun. It instantly vaporized, expanded, and was then torn into countless burning fragments by the shock wave!
A mushroom cloud mixed with flames, thick smoke and deadly chemical dust rose from the ground and soared into the sky!
The shock wave swept across like a tsunami, knocking down and crushing the surrounding factory buildings like building blocks!
The earth shook violently in the wailing!
The pickup truck was blown away by the violent air wave and rolled in the air!
"mom!!!"
Mark's eyes were bloodshot!
At the moment the vehicle lost control and rolled over, the pent-up power in his body, like a volcano, could no longer be contained and erupted with a loud bang!
He crashed through the twisted and deformed car door like a meteor, and at the critical moment, he used his body to protect Debbie in the driver's seat!
At the same time, he crossed his arms in front of him, and all his strength was highly concentrated!
Boom!!!
The pickup truck hit the ground hard, rolled over and disintegrated!
But the place where Mark and Debbie, whom he was protecting, were located was relatively calm, like the eye of a storm. The violent shock waves and deadly fragments hit Mark's body, making dense explosions like rain.
Mark's body also trembled violently due to the horrible impact, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth again, but he held on tightly!
"Ugh—!"
Mark let out a low roar, his feet sinking deeply into the cracked ground, and he withstood the terrifying impact that was enough to destroy half a block!
His mother, who was in his arms, was protected by him. Although she was dizzy from the shock, she miraculously did not suffer any serious injuries.
Amidst the smoke and flames, Mark slowly stood up.
He gently put down his frightened mother and stood in front of her.
He raised his head and looked at the sky.
The clouds were torn apart, and a huge, hideous, black triangular spaceship full of cold geometric beauty slowly descended in altitude.
At the bottom of the spacecraft, several gun muzzles were flashing dangerous charging lights.
And below the spaceship, three figures were suspended in mid-air, overlooking the burning ruins below like gods.
Different from the two soldiers who were killed before.
The uniforms of these three Vitrum warriors were more refined, with intricate patterns on their shoulder armor and chest armor, exuding a stronger murderous aura.
The leader was extremely tall and burly, with a face as cold and hard as a rock, and eyes like a thousand-year-old ice cave, without the slightest emotion.
Just floating there gives people a heavy and oppressive feeling like a mountain.
"Mark Grayson."
The tall warrior in the lead spoke, his voice like metal friction, directly penetrating the aftermath of the explosion and clearly reaching Mark's ears, with unquestionable majesty.
"By order of Lord Almighty Nolan Grayson, execute the final elimination order..."
"Give up resistance and you can keep your body intact!"
Mark wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and felt the power in his body that became more active and powerful because of bearing the destructive beam and shock wave.
Every time of pressure, every time of near-death, it was like hammering steel, digging deeper into the potential of Vitrum's bloodline!
He could feel that his muscle density was increasing, his bones were becoming more indestructible under the infiltration of energy, and his cell activity was jumping wildly!
Strength, speed, defense, self-healing...all dimensions are moving towards a more inhuman realm!
He grinned, revealing a smile that was a mixture of blood, gun smoke and extreme fighting spirit. The sound was not loud, but it echoed like thunder over the ruins.
"Want to get rid of me? Let Nolan... do it himself!"
"Arrogant!"
A cold light flashed in the leading soldier's eyes!
He didn't make any unnecessary movements, but simply raised his right hand, spread his five fingers, and pointed them at Mark below!
Buzz!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
No warning at all!
Five beams of blazing white energy, thicker and more condensed than before, were like five spears of light piercing through the sky and earth, tearing through the air and descending in an instant with the aura of destroying everything!
The attack covered all the space around Mark and Debbie to dodge, and the speed was so fast that it far exceeded the speed of sound!
"Mom! Don't move!"
Mark shouted!
In the thousandth of a second before the beam descended, the Vitrum energy in his body raged like a supernova explosion! He was no longer satisfied with passive defense!
boom!!!
The ground beneath his feet was like being hit by a meteorite, instantly creating a huge deep pit!
Mark's figure turned into a lightning that tore through space!
Instead of dodging, he charged head-on towards the five beams of destructive light!
At this moment, his speed broke through the previous limit and reached an incredible level!
The air behind him was compressed into a milky white sonic boom cloud, forming a long trail!
His figure completely disappeared from Debbie's sight!
Mark didn't try to resist five beams at the same time, that was beyond his current limit.
He opted for a more efficient and deadly strategy.
At the moment before the light beams were about to converge, with a speed exceeding the limit of the light beams themselves, he used his fists wrapped in highly compressed Vitrum power to accurately and continuously strike the most core and most unstable node of the five light beams!
Bang bang bang bang bang! ! !
The fist shadow appeared at different positions of the five beams of light as if teleporting!
Every bombardment was accompanied by a burst of dazzling light and a piercing scream as the energy structure was forcibly destroyed!
Five destructive beams that were powerful enough to destroy a city block were like punctured balloons. Just at the critical point of exploding, they were forcibly detonated and disintegrated prematurely!
Boom!!!
Five huge energy fireballs exploded violently in the air!
The violent energy turbulence swept across the sky and the earth like an out-of-control tornado, causing the three suspended Vitrum warriors to shake slightly!
The already dilapidated industrial area below was even worse off and was plowed again by the energy storm.
"What?!"
For the first time, shock appeared in the eyes of the suspended Vitrum warrior leader!
This method of disintegrating high-energy particle beams with absolute speed and precise strikes is definitely not something that ordinary Vitrum warriors can master!
This requires terrifying physical fitness, energy control and combat intuition!
In the center of the energy storm, a figure went upstream!
Mark was like a god of war reborn from the ashes, breaking through the raging energy turbulence, and with an indomitable and brutal momentum, he rushed straight towards the leader of Vitrum who was floating in the air!
His speed was so fast that he even left a trail of afterimages behind him!
"court death!"
The two elite warriors beside the leader reacted extremely quickly and instantly stood in front of the leader.
One man's fists were filled with energy, like waving two all-metal hammers, smashing down on Mark's head!
The other man waved his hand, and the spaceship instantly displayed a huge, translucent diamond-shaped shield that flashed with energy ripples!
Facing this attack from both front and back, Mark's eyes were as cold as eternal ice.
His brain worked at an unprecedented speed and calculated the optimal solution in an instant!
boom!
Mark's right fist hit the center of the diamond shield without any fancy moves!
The highly compressed Vitrum energy instantly exploded at the tip of the fist, creating a point of extreme penetrating power!
CRACK——BANG!!!
The force field shield that was said to be able to withstand the bombardment of small warships' main guns was instantly covered with cracks like fragile glass, and then exploded!
The violent backlash of energy made the warrior who released the shield feel like he was hit hard, and he flew backwards with blood spurting from his mouth!
At the same time, Mark's body violated the laws of physics and forcibly spun sideways at the moment of shattering the shield. The five fingers of his left hand opened and closed together, covering his palm with the violent Vitrum energy!
Phew!
His left hand was like a red-hot knife cutting into butter. He ignored the power of the opponent's fist and pierced the wrist joint of the other punching fighter with precision and brutality, instantly shattering bones, tendons and nerves.
The soldier's fist and half of his arm were torn apart!
"ah--!"
The warrior with the broken arm let out a shrill scream!
Mark's movements didn't pause at all.
He used the force of tearing to accelerate his body again, like a thorn in the flesh, and instantly got close to the leader of Vitrum who was briefly exposed because the shield warrior was knocked away!
The two people's eyes met at a very close distance!
There was a cold murderous intent and a hint of offended rage in the leader's eyes!
Mark's eyes were filled with the fighting spirit of lava and the absolute ferocity after the awakening of the Vitrum bloodline!
"Get down!"
The leader roared, no more holding back!
His fist was instantly wrapped in a layer of dark red energy that was almost dense and substantial!
That is a destructive energy that is far purer and more terrifying than that of ordinary Vitrum warriors!
Before the fist arrived, the terrifying pressure had already made the surrounding space seem to solidify!
Mark's pupils shrank slightly as he felt an unprecedented threat of death!
This punch is more terrifying than all the previous attacks combined!
But he didn't retreat!
If I take a step back, the mother behind me will surely die!
"roar--!!!"
Mark also let out a thunderous roar!
All the energy in the body gathered, compressed, and compressed again towards the right fist frantically!
The space around his fist was slightly distorted due to the high concentration of energy!
He could even feel the bones in his arms groaning under the weight of this force!
But this is the strongest blow he can deliver right now!
boom--!!!!!!!!
The fists collided like two planets, slamming into each other fiercely!
Time seemed to freeze at this moment.
The next moment.
Buzz——!
An indescribable and terrifying energy shock wave exploded with the point where the two fists collided as the center!
It was no longer the spherical diffusion of the previous explosion, but a visible, destructive air wave that exploded in a fan shape towards the sky and the ground at the same time!
call--!
Above the sky, the thick clouds were instantly pierced by this upward burst of air, revealing the vast starry sky behind them!
It was as if a huge hole had been poked in the sky!
Boom boom boom!!!
Above the earth, the fan-shaped downward energy impact was like the plow of divine punishment!
With Mark and the leader as the center, the remaining factory buildings, piles of ruins, solid foundations, and even deeper underground rocks within a fan-shaped area of nearly a thousand meters in front were all wiped out in an instant as if by an invisible giant hand!
All that was left was a terrifying fan-shaped pit that was tens of meters deep, with edges as smooth as a mirror, and emitting hot lava and blue smoke!
At the core point of the energy explosion, the figures of Mark and Chief Vitrum shot out like two cannonballs!
Bang!
Mark's body slammed into the lava at the edge of the fan-shaped pit, causing a rain of fire in the sky.
Large areas of his skin were cracked and charred, and blood gushed out from countless cracks like fountains, but was instantly evaporated by the high temperature!
The right arm hung limply, and the arm bone was completely shattered!
He lay in the lava, his consciousness on the verge of collapse from the severe pain and energy backlash, only his chest was still rising and falling weakly.
boom!
Chief Vitrum was smashed back into the belly of the huge triangular spaceship. A huge dent was made in the sturdy spaceship armor, and cracks spread like a spider web.
He was embedded in the center of the depression, a trickle of blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, his right fist trembling slightly, the skin on the fist cracking, revealing the bones underneath that gleamed with metallic luster.
His eyes were filled with incredible shock and anger!
Tie?!
No!
Strictly speaking, he has a slight advantage.
But a half-blooded bastard who had just awakened and was still recovering from a serious injury could actually confront him, an elite officer of Vitrum, head-on and cause substantial damage?!
This completely overturned his cognition!
At the edge of the deep pit, Debbie narrowly avoided the core range of the fan-shaped impact, but was blown away by the aftermath and fell into the ruins. She was in great pain all over and looked at her son who was like charcoal in the lava of the deep pit in horror.
In the sky, the muzzle of the spaceship lit up again, locking onto Mark who was dying in the deep pit.
The two remaining elite warriors also struggled to fly up, murderous intent in their eyes.
Mark lay in the boiling lava, the excruciating pain felt like billions of steel needles piercing his soul.
Vitrum's blood was recovering rapidly, but the speed was far slower than the speed of his body's collapse.
Consciousness is like a candle in the wind, about to go out.
At this desperate moment!
Deep within his body, in the cells that had evolved and become extremely active due to repeated extreme battles and the pressure of life and death, there was some deeper power that seemed to be touched by this dying state and the strong solar radiation from the outside world, and quietly awakened a little.
An extremely weak golden warm current, which contained unimaginable vitality, quietly lit up in his almost exhausted Vitrum heart like a newborn star.
His charred fingertips moved imperceptibly.
