Dimensional Invasion: I Can Fish for All Heavens

Chapter 516 Asura Mode - Activated! Entrusting everything to one's own instincts.
In the Marvel Universe, Thor, with his hammer Mjolnir, is able to unleash speeds exceeding the speed of light.

Although this was adjusted in the movie, its speed is still far beyond what other life forms at the same level can match.

Ivan Reznov, who inherited Thor's hammer, naturally also possesses terrifying mobility that surpasses others of his class!
This is why the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle found itself in such a passive situation.

Even though both belong to the fifth tier, and even though the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle has almost no weaknesses in strength, speed, defense, and recovery, Ivan Reznov, who wields Thor's hammer, is stronger than it!

"Uhhhhhhhh!!!"

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

At the bottom of the deep pit, the Asura rhinoceros beetle, realizing what had happened, struggled to its feet, looked up at the sky, and let out a roar full of humiliation and murderous intent, venting the frustration in its heart with its roar.

But before it could finish speaking...

"Boom!!!"

A massive bolt of lightning, more condensed and intense than before, seemingly splitting the heavens and earth, tore through the lingering dust without warning and struck the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle, which had just stood up, once again!
Ivan Reznov had absolutely no intention of wasting words with it!
After his previous smooth combo blasted the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle into a deep pit, his body, which was suspended in the air, did not relax at all. Instead, he continued to draw upon the power of the Zhou Tian Thunder!
Thor's hammer was raised high, and a vast amount of lightning energy gathered wildly. In the brief moment when the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle was impotently furious and trying to utter some harsh words, the second wave of lightning, which was even more powerful, had already arrived!

"puff!"

The roar of the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle was forcefully slammed back into its throat, replaced by a painful groan. Its body, which had just stood up, was blasted to the ground again by the lightning, making the already huge pit even deeper!

But this is just the beginning!
"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!!!"

Ivan Reznov's expression was grim. With each swing of Thor's hammer, a thick, dragon-like pillar of lightning, containing destructive power, was unleashed, relentlessly striking the bottom of the pit!

The pit deepened and expanded with each lightning strike, the soil and rocks at the edges were melted by the high temperature, electric snakes danced wildly at the bottom of the pit, and the smell of burning was pungent.

The Asura Rhinoceros Beetle was like a live fish nailed to a chopping board, passively enduring the storm of thunderous attacks!
Its hard body turned charred black, riddled with cracks, and crimson blood kept seeping from the cracks, only to be disintegrated and evaporated by the following lightning!
Intense numbness and burning pain surged through its nerves like a tidal wave!

At first, it would roar furiously and curse viciously, but soon it realized that it was pointless and only wasted its energy.

It forcefully suppressed the anger and humiliation that were about to burst out of its chest, and only a near-tangible killing intent remained in its pupils!
How dare a mere human do this! Unforgivable! He deserves to die! He must be torn to pieces!

The Asura Rhinoceros Beetle's heart was roaring incessantly.

But it knew that if it continued to be passively attacked like this, it might really be worn down and killed by the continuous thunder!

It must find an opportunity to unleash that ultimate power.

In the extremely brief interval between lightning strikes, perhaps only a fraction of a second, the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle abandoned all futile defense and struggle, surrendering complete control of its body to its most primal instincts!
"Uhhhhh!!!"

It let out a roar that sounded inhuman, as if it came from ancient times!

The thick horn on its head suddenly glowed, its color rapidly changing to a deep, dark purple that seemed to devour all light!

The shape of the unicorn began to twist and swell, and more ferocious, pulsating patterns like blood vessels appeared on its surface!
"Crack! Crack! Crack!"

The massive body emitted a sickeningly loud cracking sound of bones bursting and shells tearing! Its already imposing body swelled even further, and its exterior turned a dark purple.

Its limbs became thicker, and its muscles bulged so much they looked like they were about to burst.

The human face was completely distorted, its features blurred, leaving only a pair of scarlet eyes that burned with pure madness and a bloodlust, like two small pools of blood!

Its mouth split open, revealing a dense array of serrated fangs that grew in an interlocking pattern!
Asura Mode - Activated!
A surge of energy, several times greater than before and imbued with madness and savagery, erupted from the bottom of the pit like a tsunami.

Ivan Reznov sensed the rapidly rising, tyrannical aura below, which seemed to devour everything. His icy blue eyes narrowed slightly, and his brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

"Should we activate it anyway, Asura Mode?"

He was well aware of the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle's strongest trump card.

The relentless bombardment before was also to prevent it from activating "Asura Mode"; but now it seems that the time required to activate "Asura Mode" is much shorter than he expected.

It seized the opportunity in just a split second.

"In that case, it's impossible to solve it easily."

Ivan Reznov calmly assessed the situation.

Although Saitama's power in "One-Punch Man" allowed him to instantly defeat Rhinoceros Beetle in its "Asura Mode" with a single punch, it's impossible to confirm exactly how much Saitama's power was amplified in various aspects.

But it's easy to imagine that the increase will be significant.

In the simulated battles of the radio drama, Asura Rhinoceros Beetle's record is enough to demonstrate its terrifying strength.

He fought Genos over sixty times without a single defeat, defeated Snakebite in three seconds, defeated Metal Bat in three minutes, and fought Zombieman for a week, brutally killing him throughout. He was eventually dismembered by Zombieman due to exhaustion. He also fought Superalloy Darkshine for 15 minutes before being defeated. If it weren't for Saitama's existence, he would undoubtedly be one of the most difficult opponents in "One-Punch Man."

But that doesn't mean he's incapable of dealing with it!
Ivan Reznov acknowledged the power of the Asura Mode, but he absolutely did not believe he would be defeated!

"It's just that it will take me a little longer to deal with you."

Before the low murmur had faded, at the bottom of the pit, the Asura rhinoceros beetle, having completed its metamorphosis, let out a joyful and frenzied roar!

Feeling the surging power within its body, it revealed an extremely satisfied and cruel smile on its twisted face.

The previous frustration and anger have now transformed into an even more intense bloodlust!
"boom!"

Its massive, dark purple body leaped out of the deep pit, kicking up a cloud of rubble and dust, and hovered at the same height as Ivan.

Those blood-red eyes, like pools of crimson, stared mockingly at the solemn-faced Ivan Reznov, a hoarse, mocking laugh escaping his throat:

"What? Seeing my current posture, you've actually given up attacking? Are you afraid, human!"

"Do you regret not kneeling down and begging for mercy sooner?"

"What a pity, you no longer have that chance!"

It spread its arms wide, as if to embrace the whole world, its voice carrying a chilling excitement:

"I have good news for you, human!"

"Once I transform into this form, I will completely lose my rationality for a whole week, leaving only my burning fighting instinct!"

It points to Ivan Reznov.

"After I kill you, I will go to every place where humans might still exist! Villages, towns, cities. I will go there one by one, slaughtering, destroying, and enjoying their screams and despair!"

"Hahahaha!"

"Aren't you a hero? Aren't you supposed to protect these weak insects? Then come and try! Try to stop me! With your laughable hammer, hahahaha!"

The Asura Rhinoceros Beetle laughed maniacally, its laughter filled with absolute confidence in its own power and contempt for Ivan Reznov.

It seemed to be completely immersed in the thrill of its surging power, arrogantly believing that the outcome was already decided.

But at that moment, something unexpected happened!

"Buzz!"

An extreme sense of danger pierced Ivan Reznov's nerves! Before he could even think, he instinctively held Thor's hammer horizontally in front of his chest!

In that one-thousandth of a second!

The massive figure of the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle suddenly blurred, leaving only a ring of sonic boom clouds and scattered purple afterimages in its place!

With the enhancement of Asura Mode, its speed truly reached a terrifying level, almost like instantaneous teleportation!
"boom!!!"

A deep, muffled bang, like a giant hammer striking a drum, exploded out!

Ivan Reznov felt an overwhelming, brute force, as if capable of shattering everything, suddenly strike the surface of Thor's hammer!
Even though Thor's hammer helped him block the attack, some of its power still pierced through his chest.

"puff!"

Ivan Reznov felt a sweet taste in his throat, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, flying backward uncontrollably.

Wherever it passed, the air was torn apart, creating visible ripples.

But this is just the beginning!
Just as Ivan Reznov hadn't given the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle any time to react, the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle wasn't giving Ivan Reznov any chance to catch his breath either.

Its fighting instincts burned to their fullest extent at this moment!
Before Ivan Reznov could regain his footing after being sent flying backward, its enormous body, which seemed to be wrapped in purple flames, reappeared like a ghost above and to the side of Ivan Reznov!
"go to hell!"

A violent roar accompanied the second heavy blow.

The fist tore through the air, carrying the will to annihilate everything, and slammed into Ivan Reznov's head!

The speed is so fast that it exceeds the limits of visual capture!
Ivan Reznov's pupils constricted as he endured the excruciating pain churning inside his body. In the nick of time, Thor's hammer changed from a horizontal block to an upward strike, and the azure lightning on the hammerhead instantly compressed into a solid shield of lightning!

"clang!!!"

The clash of fists and hammers no longer produced the muffled thud of flesh colliding, but rather a deafening roar, like two metal mountains colliding!

The two forces collided, unleashing a storm that swept across the sky!
