Chapter 167: Kha'Zix, the Void Reaver
"Ow~ Right now, I feel like I've dated ten beautiful girls in one night." Deadpool, Wade, managed to claw himself out of the wall with his hands. Lying in the empty sewer, looking up at the pitch-black pipes above, Wade said, "Looks exactly like a censored."
The Shadow Realm
"Sure enough, you're working with Spider-Man." Killian was imprisoned in a transparent lab next to Peter. Looking at Spider-Man nearby, Killian seemed to guess their relationship. Since he had put Spider-Man in this condition, he probably wouldn't make it out alive.
"You're very clever, but you're also very foolish," Big Black said beside Silas.
Slap! Little Black struck Big Black with two fingers. Big Black rubbed his head plaintively.
"Master hasn't spoken yet. Don't say anything," Little Black said helplessly.
Silas, sitting on the central throne, remained silent, quietly observing Killian.
"I can't believe I was tricked by this idiot," Killian felt even more frustrated looking at Big Black's dull expression.
Little Black moved closer to Silas, took a piece of paper from his pocket, and handed it to the seated Silas. Silas took it and glanced at it. It was a report on Killian's blood, where Alpha had analyzed the Extremis virus within it.
"I can't understand it," Silas silently handed the paper back to Little Black. He indicated that he couldn't understand a single word on the paper!
Little Black took the report back, feeling a little embarrassed. How could he have forgotten that fact, causing Master to lose face in front of others?
"It's fine." Silas had never intended for Killian to leave alive anyway.
"What are you planning to do? Keep me locked up here forever? Or kill me?" Killian asked. Now that Destiny had him captured, these were the only two options: kill him or imprison him indefinitely.
"Since you've come here, what happens is up to us." The mask on Silas's face slowly dissolved into black mist, revealing his relatively youthful face.
Killian stared wide-eyed at Destiny in front of him. He never dreamed that Destiny would be a seemingly pre-teen child.
"If the people outside knew that Destiny was just a kid, their eyes would pop out," Killian mocked himself. He had been defeated by an adolescent!
"They will know eventually," Silas's voice reverted to his original one, sounding somewhat incongruous and out of place in the current scene.
"It seems you have planned everything." Killian knew he was completely trapped. Now that he had seen Destiny's face, did he still have a chance to live?
Silas stood up. The Black Shadow Ninjas behind him quickly followed his steps, and he slowly walked to the side of the experiment table. Silas sat down on the table, lightly swinging his legs, and said, "The bio-enhanced fighter Mantis Man looked quite decent. Coincidentally, I captured one and ran an experiment on it. The result was pretty good."
As soon as Silas finished speaking, a three-meter-tall giant mantis flew in from Killian's left. Its colossal mouthparts had been modified into blades, flashing with a cold, silver gleam. The wings on its back were equipped with a hundred thrusters. The thrusters were invented by our Mr. Tony and then replicated by our Little Black, so here, we must thank Iron Man, Tony. Its arm blades were replaced by two scorching red lasers, and its entire body was clad in dark gray armor, giving off a sense of oppression.
"Master." The Mantis Man's vocal cords were equipped with a voice box, and a smart chip was implanted in its brain to assist its operation, as the original Mantis Man was simply too stupid.
"Incredible~" Even though Killian and Destiny were rivals, he still felt compelled to praise Destiny. This was truly a perfect creation, a natural killer, a fighting machine.
"Allow me to introduce him. His current name is Kha'Zix, the Void Reaver," Silas said, tapping Kha'Zix's steel helmet. "Battlecast Kha'Zix."
"This is truly unbelievable. This creature is a being—oh no, a machine—born for battle!" Killian exclaimed admiringly. He had lost completely.
Silas jumped onto Kha'Zix's shoulder and said, "I enjoy playing games. Would you like to play one? If you win, you walk free. If you lose, you die."
"I'll play!" How could Killian refuse Destiny? This was his only hope of survival. He had no other choice!
"Fight Kha'Zix. If you win, you go free. If you lose, you'll enter its..." Silas jumped down from Kha'Zix's shoulder, pointing to Kha'Zix's abdomen.
Killian nodded, and the door to the lab opened, allowing him to exit.
Stepping out of the lab, Killian truly felt the oppressive power when he stood before Kha'Zix.
"Hoo~ Is it a biological being or a machine?" Killian asked, his whole body radiating red light.
At Silas's signal, Little Black stepped forward and said, "It's a combination of biology and machinery."
"That's absolutely wonderful. If I manage to get out of here, I will definitely modify myself and transform into such a magnificent body," Killian shouted as if possessed.
Kha'Zix merely glanced dismissively at the little bug in front of it. "Hmph~" It clearly looked down on Killian.
"While you're great, don't get too arrogant!" Killian leaped up quickly, aiming a punch at Kha'Zix's head antenna.
Kha'Zix's mutated compound eyes had long seen through Killian's attack trajectory, but it made no attempt to dodge. Bang! Killian's fist landed solidly on Kha'Zix's face.
"What!" Killian was astonished as he looked at Kha'Zix. He hadn't even been able to break through Kha'Zix's defenses.
Kha'Zix rammed its head forward, striking Killian's chest.
Clang!
Killian was sent flying. In the Shadow Realm, which had almost no gravity, he would continue to fly for a long time if he didn't grab onto a Shadow Monster's body to stop. But Kha'Zix had no intention of letting him go. Its back thrusters activated, and in the blink of an eye, it was in front of Killian, opening its blade-like mouthparts.
"Ah!" Killian's head was instantly sliced into pieces by Kha'Zix, scattering everywhere. The nearby Dragon Shadows swarmed in, fighting over the feast. Kha'Zix didn't care. It found Killian's body disgusting to eat; it took one bite and spat it out immediately.
"Done, Master." Kha'Zix came to Silas's side, its red compound eyes constantly flickering. It seemed desperate for Silas's praise.
"Well done, Kha'Zix," Silas said with a slight smile.
Kha'Zix was a monster synthesized from biological material, machinery, and the black mist of the Shadow Realm. Furthermore, Silas noticed that Kha'Zix absorbed nearly twice the amount of black mist as Black Tiger Toru, suggesting that Kha'Zix's strength likely far surpassed Black Tiger Toru's. Among Silas's pets, Kha'Zix ranked second in power. As for the first... that one was still the creature lurking in the shadows.
Silas turned his gaze toward the bottomless depths of the Shadow Realm. It was pitch black there, and even the Dragon Shadows dared not approach, as if something terrifying was hidden within.
Suddenly! Six red lights appeared there, flashing past like comets, only to disappear as if they had never been there at all.
