Godslayer in the Marvel Universe

Chapter 67 Gotham's Counterattack

It was as if the once-silent portal had stirred again.

Female heroes without elemental abilities at most feel something buzzing in their heads.

Ang, who had elemental senses, felt that the electrical energy he had deliberately accumulated in his body before coming here was running rampant inside him as if it were out of control. He had the illusion that it would abandon him as its master and rush out of his body to perish together with the enemy.

Ang took a deep breath: "Let's retreat!"

The group retreated to the main entrance of the underground hall, where Ang took the opportunity to examine his gains.

Since his base stats, the caps for [Constitution] and [Strength] are already locked, after adding the Kratos suit, these two values ​​become 71 and 80 respectively.

This part is negligible.

After sweeping through a bunch of third-tier zombie heroes, the miscellaneous bonuses stacked his attributes to [Agility 58, Intelligence 34, Perception 45, Willpower 36].

Judging by the stats alone, Ang is definitely a strength-based hero now.

Unfortunately, this was related to the enemies he killed; his biggest achievement this time was taking down three agility-based heroes. Although Deadshot, Hawkeye, and Boomerang Captain's agility was greatly reduced due to their zombification, it still gave Ang more than ten points of bonus.

Compared to improving basic attributes, Ang is more interested in the skills of various heroes.

The Death Shooter maxed out Ang's Basic Gun Skills, making it [max] level, and then gave him a Rifle Sharpshooter and Rapid Fire Lv4.

Captain Boomerang inexplicably gave Ang a "Boomerang Weapon Mastery Lv3" skill.

The Bronze Tiger and Bronze-Headed Serpent maxed out Ang's [Basic Fighting], and also gave him [Wild Instinct Lv8] to improve reaction speed, as well as [Struggle of the Trapped Beast] which can only be activated when health is below 20% and increases all melee attributes.

The two thieves, Bonge and Julie, were completely useless; they just gave Ang a bunch of red souls.

Not only did Eagle Eye max out Ang's Basic Archery, but he also upgraded Triple Shot to Lv7, Clairvoyance to Lv3, and even gave him Aimed Shot Lv5.

Count Dizziness raised Ang's [Mental Resistance] to Lv10 and [Magic Resistance] to Lv4. He also gave him an extra [Mental Shock Lv3], which extracts terrifying memory fragments from his own mind and sends them to the opponent's mental sea. It all depends on the opponent's mental resistance. If they can't withstand it, they will be injured and suffer statuses such as [Confusion] and [Paralysis].

Most of these bonus skills are fairly standard, and many of them are useless to Ang.

Fortunately, the system kindly recommended a new feature to him.

[Soul Skill Sharing: This feature is activated because the host has collected a total of 1024 Crimson Souls, and more than 69 skills were abandoned due to unsuitable aptitude. The host can share skills they already possess or cannot learn with their blood relatives and soul allies.]

[Special Note: Sharing a skill will cause the host's skill to be downgraded until the same skill is acquired through murder and plunder. When sharing an existing skill, if the host's skill is only level 1, the skill will be erased. Shared skills can be quickly upgraded by providing the sharer with Blood Souls, not exceeding their potential limit.]

After reading this description, Ang's first reaction was—is this skill legitimate?

Thinking about it carefully, how should I put it? This function can't be called useless; it's more like making use of waste.

It all depends on how Ang uses it.

Besides all of the above, what pleased Ang the most was the gift from [Frost Slayer], who gave him [Fire Elemental Mastery Lv3] and [Fire Elemental Resistance Lv10]! But the most important thing was this:

[(Energy Absorption): The host can absorb ambient heat energy and convert it into their own magic power. The conversion efficiency is (low).]

The host elemental pool has now been changed to contain both fire and wind elements, and can store a maximum of 648 mixed elements.

Well, aside from the storage limit number causing some PTSD in some people, everything else is fine.

The key is that, with the ability to draw elemental energy from himself, Ang no longer needs to recharge before a fight.

Do you know what it's like to have to look like you're going to your death before every battle with the enemy, holding an electric car-grade rechargeable battery with two wires attached, holding the positive terminal in one hand and the negative terminal in the other?

Everyone's numb!

At first, Louis saw it once. This supposedly loyal bodyguard turned pale, and after a long pause, managed to stammer, "Boss! It can't be that bad! It can't be that bad!"

Later, he realized that his boss was no ordinary person and gave him a raise, which finally shut him up.

Even though Ang is used to charging, it's still a hassle!

When will it charge faster?

Wouldn't it be better if it were like a gasoline car, where you could get things done in a few quick steps?

Oh oh oh!

Now that he can regenerate his mana, Ang finally feels like he's not on a one-way street to becoming a melee fighter.

As for when he can become a noble mage, Ang thinks...

Just today!

At this moment, the energy fluctuations near the portal became increasingly intense.

Unlike the monotonous and violent feeling before, Ang had a feeling that there was a magical being on the other side of the portal who was unwilling to accept the failure of this teleportation and had taken the stage himself.

Taking a deep breath, Ang put on his headset: "Hey! Tony, are you done yet?"

Tony's voice came from the other end: "Almost done."

This Gotham riot is unlikely to repeat itself like history.

Because of the interconnectedness of the worlds, if a nuclear fusion reactor were to explode in Gotham City, it would most likely be equivalent to destroying both Gotham and New York, two core cities with populations of tens of millions, in one fell swoop.

Without a doubt, this will deal a huge blow to the US economy, and may even force the country into a state of war ahead of schedule.

In this special situation where even special forces are ineffective, how could Tony possibly remain idle?

Upon returning to New York, he immediately contacted Angle, a native of Gotham.

It must be admitted that Bain did a brilliant job after stealing this nuclear fusion super-bomb and the equipment from Wayne Enterprises' secret science division—he used three convoys, one real and one fake, as cover. Only one truck carried the reactor, which was only the size of a table, while the other two convoys were decoys.

This is an absolute brilliant move to deal with the Gotham City police, who lack intelligence sources, and the National Guard outside.

If the test fails, Bain can remotely detonate the nuclear fusion reactor.

In this life, there is Iron Man.

Tony used Iron Man's powerful search system to locate the real reactor early on.

The only thing that made Tony hesitate was the remote control.

All of this was resolved once Batman escaped.

"Hey, Bat, are you sure your little toy works?" Tony teased over the communicator.

"I wouldn't joke about Gotham City. It can block remote control signals from nuclear fusion reactors." Batman maintained his aloofness, not mentioning a word about how he once broke Bane's spine.

"Okay! I'll be on time!"

As Batman regained control of some of his equipment, deafening thunderclaps echoed from every collapsed sewer opening in the city.

Batman's large drones used heavy firepower to destroy the massive rock formations that trapped the police and special forces.

The continuous loud noises were no less deafening than when Bain caused trouble before.

The entire city of Gotham was shaking violently!

However, this signifies that the forces of justice in Gotham have finally sounded the horn of counterattack!
