The arena.
On the high-tech display screens, there was only a blue sky with white clouds and the sound of strong winds.
The camera moved from far to near, initially just a speck of light like a "meteor," but as it got closer, everyone finally understood the source of the strong wind.
Fengshen—the high-speed, flying Fengshen!
Under normal circumstances, hearing such high-decibel noise would be irritating.
But at this moment, just hearing the howling wind made everyone feel their blood flow faster.
When they saw the "full body shot" of Fengshen, which was like a work of art, everyone widened their eyes like a pervert seeing a peerless beauty and couldn't help but be mesmerized.
Regardless of gender, there was probably only one thought at this moment: Who can resist this?
I will protect this incredibly beautiful face!
Boom!
Fengshen suddenly let out a sonic boom, and its speed dramatically increased, making it impossible for everyone to clearly see its form.
There was only the air barrier formed by the rapid friction of the bright silver body with the air, and the long, curved contrail left by Fengshen as it passed through the sky.
So cool!
Although Wind God II had only been on screen for less than ten seconds, the edited material in the video immediately showcased Fengshen's characteristics completely.
Fengshen, unrivaled in speed!
Roar!
Hulk roared, and a large amount of sound waves spread. Behind Hulk was a ruin, and around them, humans could be seen screaming and fleeing, many of them injured and bloody.
In an instant, the sense of disaster from a "monster" attack was vividly rendered.
Ang, ang, ang, ang, ang!
A military-like background music suddenly started, followed by a sudden change in style.
The camera shifted, and a mechanical "beautiful foot" appeared.
The big foot stepped on the ground, immediately causing the ground to tremble.
The camera shifted again.
The enormous Wind God II dashed and swooped toward Hulk. With every step Wind God II took, the ground trembled.
During this, the camera constantly switched—sometimes focusing on Hulk's ferocious, savage green face, and sometimes on Wind God II's aesthetically pleasing mechanical helmet.
The distance closed, the speed slowed, the camera rotated, and it was even possible to see a 360-degree view of the two charging at each other after their dive.
The camera shifted, and the speed suddenly increased.
Wind God II's iron fist and Hulk's oversized fist crashed into each other.
With a loud boom, the energy explosion caused by their collision erupted, stirring up a terrifying energy storm around them.
Rocks flew through the air, and dust billowed!
In an instant, Rimuru's Fengshen seemed to become the center of the entire world, the hope of the entire Earth.
Collision, collision, and more collision!
Fengshen and Hulk—one a beast, one a mech—charged and collided to their heart's content, abandoning everything, leaving ruins for a thousand miles wherever they stepped.
Seeing Hulk pull up a large tree, everyone's hearts were gripped with anxiety;
Seeing the Fengshen mech being dismantled, everyone was extremely anxious;
Seeing Hulk being sent flying, everyone cheered with joy.
Unbeknownst to them, it seemed everyone had become Fengshen's pilot, breathing and sharing fate with Fengshen.
They even forgot that this battle happened several months ago, and the outcome was already decided.
Their hearts seemed to be beating in sync with Fengshen.
Finally, when they saw Fengshen use its ultimate move, [Black Flame Lightning], to annihilate Hulk along with everything within a hundred meters, countless people stood up in unison and shouted loudly:
"Fengshen!"
"Fengshen!"
"Fengshen!"
It must be said that Rimuru's introductory short film was simply divine, like watching a big special effects movie.
Let alone others—even Rimuru herself was somewhat shocked by this promotional video!
Rimuru even suspected that she had paid money, creating happiness with dedication!
This promotional short film was simply too well-edited.
What Rimuru didn't know was that the editor herself was a huge fan of Fengshen, the kind who was super obsessed with looks!
Unlike Rimuru's pleasant surprise, Tony Stark felt only annoyance and jealousy.
Comparing goods makes you want to throw them away; comparing people makes you furious!
Compared to Rimuru's promotional video, his own was like Shanghai Fortress meeting Avatar—the disparity was beyond words!
What's with Rimuru being like a protagonist, with an overwhelming halo and constantly cheating?
It seemed that ever since he returned from Afghanistan with Rimuru, he had been constantly overshadowed by Rimuru.
This is so damn annoying!
"Please welcome the strongest superhero, Silver Armored War God, to the stage!"
Endless fireworks soared into the sky, and Rimuru descended from above in Nini's classic landing pose, landing directly in the center of the arena.
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh!
The scene instantly erupted with endless cheers again; the Silver Armored War God's landing pose was truly too cool!
Tony Stark looked at Rimuru's landing pose, questioning life.
To design a cooler landing pose than Fengshen, he had worked day and night for several days, designing one cool landing pose after another.
But no matter how much he designed, in the end, Nini still felt that it was impossible to surpass Fengshen.
That Fengshen pose was still the one that best suited his heart.
This feeling—like his beloved child being snatched away—made his heart ache, and he was so annoyed!
Seeing the Silver Armored War God win widespread applause, Rhino became even more annoyed.
It was like his goddess, who had just been affectionate with him, saw a rich, handsome guy, kicked him aside, and then immediately threw herself into the arms of that damn handsome guy.
How can people be so superficial?
What's so good about a pretty boy?
Muscles, strength, sweat—those are the signs of true manliness!
Hearing those piercing cheers, Rhino gritted his teeth and said hatefully, "Is being handsome so great? All those flashy tricks—Silver Armored War God, I'll dismantle your toy and scratch your face!"
Rimuru was surprised. To say such things openly—Rhino, you must have hit your head and gone stupid.
IQ of zero, EQ of negative?
Does that question even need to be asked?
Of course being handsome is great!
Being strong is for one version; being handsome is for a lifetime.
Why rely on skill when you can rely on looks to make a living?
If you ask me if eating soft rice is delicious, I can tell you clearly: Yes, very delicious!
Roar!
Rhino was completely enraged by Rimuru's words and charged, intending to dismantle Fengshen.
But before he could finish charging, he was astonished to find that Fengshen had appeared in front of him at some point, and Fengshen's fist had already struck his soft spot.
Boom!
Caught off guard, Rhino's body bent into a shrimp shape, and like a cannonball, he was instantly sent flying.
Rhino, who was hammered away, couldn't control his body, like a stone skipping on water—sometimes landing, sometimes bouncing, constantly "drifting" forward.
How great was the force when Rimuru went all out?
In an instant, everyone saw large craters smashed into the arena floor. In many places, an entire human-shaped trench was even plowed!
Looking at Fengshen, who still maintained its punching pose, everyone could even still see the unextinguished afterburners on Fengshen's arm, which were specifically enhanced for punching power.
The arena was silent; you could hear a pin drop.
Is the Silver Armored War God really that strong?
By the way, how did he instantly appear in front of Rhino?
He must be cheating!
