Chapter 1289 VS Etrigan

"Whoo~"

Etrigan breathed flames from his mouth, burning the metal bench that was pressing down on him to ashes, leaving not even a drop of molten iron behind.

"You want to fight? Then I'll fight you!"

With a burst of speed from his legs, Etrigan rushed to Yang Le's side in almost an instant.

"boom!"

With his excellent dynamic vision, Yang Le caught Etrigan's movements and suddenly reached out with both hands to grab the latter's claws.

The two men clasped hands together. At first, Etrigan used his acceleration to push Yang Le backward for more than ten meters, and the latter's legs plowed two furrows in the ground.

Etrigan's power was indeed not to be underestimated. If it were a pure contest of strength, even the current Fusion Hero would not be a match for him. Therefore, Yang Le had to resort to some other means.

Just as Yang Le was about to crash into the giant Flash statue behind him, his tattoos lit up with a pink glow, and at the same time, four energy arms condensed behind him.

"It's my turn!"

As soon as Yang Le finished speaking, an energy arm slammed directly into the unsuspecting Etrigan's face. However, this was not enough to stop him, so four energy arms began to fiercely attack Etrigan's face.

"Bang bang bang!"

In the blink of an eye, another five or six punches were thrown. These punches left Etrigan completely disoriented, and even the strength in his arms was noticeably reduced.

Seeing Yang Le's offensive gradually gain momentum, Etrigan naturally couldn't just sit and wait to die. He opened his blood-red maw and blazing hellfire flowed out like a waterfall.

Even Yang Le had to retreat at this temperature. He was not confident that he could withstand the hellfire with his current fusion hero status, so he had to give up the attack, wrap himself in his energy arm, and then take the opportunity to retreat.

“You audacious madman, your crimes are beyond redemption.”

“I know more than you think, Etrigan.” Yang Le’s six arms were each in a different pose.

"You actually think that killing Rachel will stop everything from happening? That will only make her soul fall into the hands of the Trigon sooner."

"When the time comes, as long as Trigon can find a way to revive Rachel on Earth, do you think she, who has been persecuted by this world once, will continue to help people suppress Trigon, or will she take the initiative to lead the way to Earth?"

“A man of few words worrying about the sky falling.” As Etrigan spoke, flames streamed from his mouth.

"Soul scattered? What's so difficult about that!"

“Then it seems there’s nothing to talk about.” Yang Le said, then assumed a fighting stance, with more vertical bars appearing on his energy arms behind him, making him look like those mythical figures described as having a thousand hands and feet.

"Like I said before, if reasoning doesn't work, I also know a little bit about martial arts."

"A mere trifle, why would I be afraid of it?"

Etrigan, as fearless as ever, charged towards Yang Le, unleashing a torrent of flames from his mouth as he charged. The raging flames, like a venomous snake, snaked towards him. This time, prepared, Yang Le neither dodged nor evaded; instead, countless energy arms behind him simultaneously struck at the flames.

Arms made of energy continuously shattered the scorching flames, and Yang Le, protected by the arms, began to advance towards Etrigan.

The two collided quickly, but Yang Le had produced far too many arms. If Etrigan could handle four or five arms, then these hundreds or thousands of arms soon overwhelmed him.

Judging from the fighting style, it is not difficult to see that the fusion heroes used by Yang Le are the ones formed by the fusion of the Anno alien he had previously become and the Four-Handed Overlord.

But why does it only have two arms even though it has fused with the Four-Armed Overlord?
Naturally, the extra arm became an energy arm. And because the Anno aliens are energy life forms, the fused hero can conjure multiple energy arms, with the upper limit of the number of arms depending solely on Yang Le's energy limit.

In other words, Yang Le can now use the Hundred Styles of Guanyin, just like Chairman Netero in "The Hunter".

Just like what he's doing now.

In an instant, a hundred arms began to strike Etrigan, who was pinned to the ground. This attack could not cause him fatal damage, but it was enough to keep him pinned to the ground and unable to move.

Frustrated, Etrigan tried to burn the energy arms with Hellfire, but the arms were just energy, and even if they were destroyed, they wouldn't harm the user Yang Le in the slightest.

Furthermore, as mentioned before, Yang Le's energy arm has virtually no upper limit; even if it is destroyed by the Hellfire, it can simply be reassembled.

After being beaten for about five or six minutes, Etrigan, unable to break free from the situation, had no choice but to obediently return to hell and hand over control of his body to Jason.

"You're destroying the world." Jason glared at Yang Le after opening his eyes, but the latter was not going to accept this compliment.

"That's not necessarily true, but it's much better than trying to save the world by killing a little girl."

Jason Brad is a knight from the time of King Arthur. He possesses remarkable skills, such as swordsmanship and horsemanship, which are required for knights, as well as occult knowledge he has learned after being bound to the demon Etrigan and gaining a near-infinite lifespan.

This was enough to make him a occultist doctor who could rival Constantine in knowledge, but it didn't allow him to hit Yang Le on the head with a spell.

Once he transforms back into Jason, the outcome is already decided.

“But that is indeed the safest way.” Jason’s eyes were firm, and he was not swayed by Yang Le’s words.

This is natural. Jason was born in the time of King Arthur, where human life was not necessarily considered human life. In addition, he has been associated with the occult for so many years, so he can naturally accept many things that modern people cannot accept.

This is why Jason has never been formally invited to join the Justice League; his style of doing things is completely out of step with modern values. This is only after Jason has adapted to modern times and become more restrained.

The Justice League only turns to Jason when they encounter problems that even Zatara can't solve.

As for Constantine? He hesitates even when it's absolutely necessary, and it's even less likely that he'll seek him out at other times.

"The safest way is to take good care of Rachel, give her a warm home, and a childhood full of laughter."

"Haven't you heard? The best magic is a belief. As long as she has a strong spiritual support, then Sangu Ma is not an invincible guy."
