Chapter 116 The Rising Mushroom Cloud
"Cole, are you worried about encountering enemies beyond your ability to handle during the mission?"

"It would be a little tricky if the opponent was that robot freak."

"So, will we win?"

"It will win."

The conversation he had with his own people before leaving the family territory kept reverberating in Cole Blazle's mind.

Even though he had known that the mutant superhuman freak had killed the "Witch Caitlin William" under the arrangement of his family and that organization,
But by injecting the "Extremis Virus", he gained the powerful power to melt steel and destroy almost everything.

I, Cole Blaze Nofeller, am now invincible!
Therefore, even when he actually saw the face that appeared in the information, his inner confidence did not waver.

Link, on the other hand, looked Colblaze up and down with an interested look.

The curious look in their eyes, as if they were visiting a zoo and watching the animals.

Colblaze felt an inexplicable chill and palpitations, as well as an uneasiness that gradually spread in his heart.

In order to hide this increasingly strong uneasiness,

Colblaze's face twisted, and he looked up at Link with gritted teeth.

His tense body immediately stretched the already tattered shirt even further.
The exposed skin quickly turned red, becoming brighter and more dazzling.

Almost visible to the naked eye, the air around him began to distort. It was a strange phenomenon caused by the rolling heat waves and high temperature burning that continued to spread outward from his body surface.
Colblaze's eyes were red, as if burning "magma" was flowing in his pupils.

"go to hell!"

In an instant, he rushed at high speed, his figure turned into a red afterimage, and his hands suddenly stretched out, aiming directly at Link's face.
But Link stood there, motionless, and even looked a little distracted.

"Stupid! You were distracted while fighting me!"

Seeing Link's condition, Colblaze became more and more proud.

He felt as if he was about to experience his hands melting through Link's damn head, along with that face full of disdain!
Unfortunately, the battle ended too quickly.

It's so boring...

〈Dear Creator, all "sights" have been completely blocked. Now no one can disturb your next entertainment game. I wish you a happy game.〉

Hearing the mechanical scout's respectful words in my mind,

Link rubbed his chin with a hint of satisfaction.

Then, as if he had just noticed it, he gently raised his head.

"You... this... is impossible!?"

I saw Colblaze "floating" in the air, his face distorted and full of disbelief.

The hands still kept their red, burning hot breath, and the ghost was around them.
However, at this moment, he was like a living sculpture, "frozen" in mid-air, unable to move.

His breathing stagnated and his movements became stiff, as if a tremendous force was exerted on his whole body, causing his joints to creak.
This is Link's new development direction for his skill - [Bio-Force Field (Purple (Rare)],
The bio-force field is more like an extension of Link's spirit, transforming invisible matter into tangible and giving it substance.

It was Link's first attempt to restrain and control Colblaze.

With Link's current ability, crushing Cole Blazenofiller to death is as easy as crushing an ant.
But Link didn't plan to end it all so easily, not just to try out some of his ideas, but more because he hadn't let out his inner depression and frustration for a long time.

"?"

Suddenly, Colblaze felt the invisible force that was restraining his body suddenly disappear.

The force that restrained his limbs and bones also dissipated immediately, and he seemed to have regained the ability to move freely?
Almost immediately, he quickly retreated, putting some distance between himself and Link.

He touched himself anxiously, thinking that he was missing some body parts. He looked up subconsciously, only to see Link's face full of disdain and sneer.

Suddenly, anger consumed Colblaze again;

Seeing that Link was less than ten meters away from him, he had better not have any physical contact with him, so as to avoid the terrifying situation just now from happening again.

With this thought in mind, Colblaze quickly pulled himself together, adjusted his state, and raised his arms.
The muscles in his arm trembled, and a fine crack appeared on the palm of his hand. The blood spurted out like a high-pressure water gun.
The blood flowing like magma also releases intense heat.

In an instant, a column of fiery red flames shot out.

It enveloped Link, who seemed to have no time to dodge, and in fact was too lazy to dodge at all.

Looking at Link being completely devoured by his own flames, Colblaze was somewhat smug.

He naturally knew that Link would not bother to dodge his attack, but this was exactly what he had set up.
The "flame" it ejects is so hot that it can even melt the hardest aerospace alloy!

Thinking of the mechanical monster that Link transformed into, covered in metal armor,

Colblaze was even more confident. Even if his flames could not kill this damn weird monster directly,

It will definitely be able to deal a heavy blow to it!
So, the advantage is mine!

Regret your arrogance!

This is the price of despising me!
When the flames gradually faded, the scene that was revealed left Colblaze dumbfounded.

Link was standing there unharmed.
With the radius of one meter from the center where he was, a perfect ring was formed.

Outside the circle was the charred ground that was still faintly emitting heat.
Inside the circle, everything is clean and tidy, just like a dust-free place.
Keep the burning flames out.

"No! Impossible!?"

"How come you're okay!"

"I don't believe it, I don't believe it!"

"They are all fake, these are all fake!"

Accompanied by Colblaze's angry scream and incredulous look,

Then, he rushed at high speed, his palms together with the knife, and the edges of his knuckles were faintly flashing red.

Then, he came around Link.
He raised his arms and swung them at Link quickly,

"Ding Ding Ding-"

Before the scorching blade touched Link,

An invisible "barrier" on the surface blocks it out.

The red palm blade collided with the "invisible barrier", and it actually made a crisp sound of metal clashing.
After a brief pause, Colblaze's eyes were once again covered with a layer of blood, and the desire to kill the person in front of him became stronger.

He continued to mutter to himself like a madman, while slashing at the "invisible barrier" covering Link at high speed.

"Kill you! Kill you! I'm going to kill you!"

"Is all you can do about it is hide in this damn 'turtle shell'!?"

The sparks and the harsh buzzing caused by the collision and friction,

Until a "click" sound appeared, Colblaze showed joy on his face, but before he could continue to be happy,

But he saw Link yawning with an impatient look on his face, raising his hand and snapping his fingers.
"boom--"

With Link as the center, a violent shock wave spread out to the surroundings.

Colblaze was hit directly by the sudden shock wave, and he was also the closest to Link.

The whole person was knocked flying several meters away, and rolled over. He fell to the ground, breathing heavily, his skin torn inch by inch, blood flowing, and he looked in a miserable state.

He struggled to support himself and climbed up, his injuries still being repaired.

But Colblaze also realized the terrifying nature of the man in front of him.
"It's time to end."

Link's voice rang in his ears, and his heart sank to the bottom.
Then, Colblaze saw Link slowly floating into the air, his eyes red.
"?"

"Om-"

A scarlet light suddenly lit up in Link's eyes, and two thick, long, fiery rays suddenly shot out.

Blaise quickly rolled to the side, trying desperately to avoid the horrific blow.

With the fierce flames and the piercing noise, Colblaze, who was originally standing on the ground, disappeared in an instant, leaving only a charred patch of ground.

He tightly covered the wound that was cut by the heat rays, his face showing pain.

But the next moment, Link turned into a shadow and appeared in front of Colblaze in an instant.

He stretched out a hand and picked up Colblaze who was lying on the ground.

At the same time, he raised his sandbag-sized fist and punched Blaise.

Suddenly, his originally handsome face was twisted and wrinkled by the huge force.
However, Blaise's eyes were burning with anger, unwillingness, and resentment.

Almost squeezed out from between teeth,

"I'll show you real power!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his skin burst into a dazzling light again.

The rolling heat waves spread outward with strong thrust, and soon Colblaze's body was once again wrapped in the blazing orange-red flames.

"Go to hell!"

But Link did not give Blaze time to continue.
What a joke, who would wait patiently for the opponent's skill CD to expire?

Link swung Blaise with one hand, raised it high above his head, and then slammed it to the ground.

The force of this blow was so great that it smashed Blaise and the ground below into a deep pit with a diameter of several meters.

He struggled to climb out of the pit like a lost dog.
But Link didn't want to give him this chance, and held down the struggling Blaise with one hand.

The huge fist stretched out swiftly, and in a very short time, it threw several punches, leaving multiple afterimages in the air, and fiercely smashed Blaise who was in the hole on the ground.
"Bang bang bang bang-"

Blaise continued to suffer heavy attacks, and the energy in his body gradually showed signs of losing control.

But how could this exciting combo end so easily?

Link's big hand that was holding Blaise suddenly tightened, and he picked up Blaise, who was as powerless as a dead dog.
Then he was thrown upwards, and under this huge force, Blaise experienced the feeling of being a "flying man".

Link sank his feet on the ground, then jumped up with force.
Soon, he arrived above Blaise in mid-air.

With both fists raised high, they swung down heavily.
Blaise gained downward acceleration again, but it was much faster than the speed of rising.
Attracted by gravity, Blaise fell rapidly and landed back into the deep pit.

"boom--"

Link followed closely and landed on the ground.
He pulled Blaise up and started spinning again at high speed, like a spinning top.
"Whoosh-"

After accelerating to a certain degree, Link loosened his grip and released Blaise.
Under this high-speed rotation like a centrifuge, Blaise flew out like an arrow from a string.
Like a kite with its string cut off, its body smashed into the burned houses.

Finally he rolled into the ruins and was buried by dust.

Link couldn't help but feel a little annoyed - after all, this guy was too tough.

With his powerful eyesight, Link's sight instantly zoomed out and he saw the scene in the ruins dozens of meters away.
Blaise hung his head, as if dead.
I secretly used [Destroy the Corpse (Blue (Excellent)], but I didn't find any changes in Colblaze.
Link raised his eyebrows, it seemed that he was not dead and needed to be killed, then he slowly walked towards Cole Blaise.

But suddenly, Colblaze raised his head, his face twisted and unwilling, and he opened his mutilated mouth, revealing a horrible "smile".
"You think you can kill me like this?"

"Let's go to hell together!"

Then, the "skill CD" that was originally interrupted by Link was quickly completed, and the scorching flames rose.
Looking at the red flames, it seemed as if it had formed a substantial "human figure". The surrounding air was distorted by the high temperature and the figure became blurred.

Link was slightly surprised. Even though he was several meters away, he could still feel the rolling heat.

The ground where Blaise was originally standing was now melted into a piece of crystal as clear as glass - this was the result of the extremely high temperature transforming the soil on the ground.

In order not to cause more trouble,
It seems that we must end the battle quickly and decisively.

Link quickly stepped forward and raised his hand to strangle Colblaze.

but it was too late,
"boom--"

With a loud bang, a miniature "sun" rose again between the two of them.

Endless light and heat once again transmitted from the inside out, illuminating everything.
The blinding rays spread from Blake Street to several blocks nearby.

Some New York City residents who had just escaped the fire and stayed on the streets had not yet reacted.
Then I saw a strange yet familiar light, and was suddenly blinded by the strong light and couldn't open my eyes.

"Isn't it evening now?"

"Why...it's dawn?"

"wrong!?"

All the citizens stared at the small mushroom cloud rising up,

You know, this kind of scene has only been seen somewhere decades ago, and of course more in video images.

——Earth·Low Earth Orbit Region

In the dead silence of space, a huge diamond-shaped metal body maintains a synchronous orbital speed with the earth.

The matrix, which is dozens of meters long and shines like a mirror, is connected to the diamond-shaped metal body on all sides, and the logo emblem of UEP is on the surface.
