American comics: Starting with gaining Spider-Man's abilities

Chapter 154 Demon [Beast]

"The base is in... ahhh!"

"The base is located at... uhhhh!!"

The screams of souls were incessant. Li Buying's arm was connected to the computer mainframe here by a data cable. At the same time, she waved her wand and interrogated the souls of these Hand members, trying to find out the location of the Hand headquarters through their deaths, just as she had planned.

He has been quite successful so far. Since he already knows that the Hand's headquarters are in the United States, he has expanded his gravity perception to the entire Americas and then gradually narrowed the range based on the fluctuations of soul disappearance.

When the soul gravity contract on this side was destroyed, the same fluctuations did indeed come from another place. After about twenty souls had died, he had completely locked onto the Hand headquarters as his target.

Clenching his fist and crushing the remaining souls, Li Buying looked at the huge display screen. About ten minutes later, Ai Yi finally finished downloading all the useful data, and he could take the group of unconscious mutants back.

However, Professor X's plan to teach languages ​​will probably have to be postponed. After all, Li Buying can't say for sure whether these mutants are good or bad, and it will have to be up to them to figure it out.

After changing his clothes and removing his mask, he transformed back into the [Giant Source], raised his hand to lift the still unconscious prisoners, and led them into the air, disappearing from the spot, leaving only a mess behind.

When he returned to the island, it was around 2 a.m. He knocked on the door of the two elderly people and woke them up without caring whether they were asleep or not. Magneto and Professor X came out quickly and their expressions when they saw the new mutant lying unconscious on the ground were quite interesting.

"Are these children Hydra's experiments?"

Magneto immediately recognized their clothes and markings. Li Buying nodded and took off again: "I have other things to do, so I'll leave them to you two. As for their information, I've already had the hackers send it to the computer."

Professor X nodded slightly, raised a finger to put a waking mutant back to sleep: "Don't worry, we'll examine these kids carefully."

……

After delivering the goods, Li Buying rushed to the location where the unusual fluctuations were detected. Upon arriving, she used her gravitational senses to scan the empty ground and quickly discovered the unusual wave field.

However, what puzzled him was that the high-tech cloaking device on his body could not find anything strange on the ground, as if there was nothing there at all.

Could it be related to magic?

With this in mind, he, in his identity as the [Great Source], had no intention of experiencing the strange magic of the demons. Instead, he raised his hands above his head, ready to kill the Hand and the demons within it in one fell swoop.

"Die!" He pressed his hands down hard, and the gravity in the area he locked onto increased a hundredfold.

Bang-!

A tremendous collapse sound came, and various noises came from below. Everything that had been covered up was now exposed. Li Buying could see with the naked eye that there was indeed a base here, with magic circles around it cracking under gravity.

As for the base itself... do you know what a hundred times gravity is like?

For example, if a person weighs 70 kilograms, under a hundred times the force of gravity, he will directly become 7 tons. The entire person will be directly crushed into blood, flesh, and bone fragments. The same is true for buildings. They simply cannot withstand the pressure they bring and will flatten at an even faster rate.

The large base was directly crushed into a pancake shape by Li Buying. The life reactions inside disappeared instantly due to the lack of warning. Even so, there was still a life form emitting a special force field.

"Who is it!"

A beastly roar rang out, and a two-meter-long giant hand shattered the metal of the base's top floor. Its claws gripped the top floor as it tried to break free. The monster was quickly dug out from underground, glaring angrily at its surroundings.

From Li Buying's perspective, it was entirely black, with skinny legs, strong arms, and a bloated, fleshy torso, looking quite disproportionate, yet it exuded an aura that would terrify ordinary people.

At this moment, it was enraged. All the servants it had painstakingly recruited were dead, and the palace it had built was destroyed. This made it desperately want to kill the murderer who had done all this. It wanted to tear that guy to pieces!

Sensing the gaze, the demon abruptly looked up at the sky. Upon seeing that it was Li Buying, it froze in place. Clearly, it had learned of this from the servants, yet instead of turning to flee, it stared intently at him and roared:

"Human, do you think you're so strong? I will turn you into my new slave, to work for me for all eternity! Remember me, my name is [Beast]!!"

As it spoke, a hint of greed gleamed in its eyes, clearly indicating its desire for the abilities Li Buying possessed. Its confidence likely stemmed from its belief in magic, as it still considered Li Buying to be an ordinary mutant.

Glancing at her [Magic Resistance] stat in her system panel, Li Buying stared at the demon rising from the ground, about to make a move, when she suddenly paused, a sinister smile spreading across her face that even the demon found terrifying.

Long-term mission: [Slay demons and monsters]

Similar to the long-term quest "Strike the Snake's Seven Inches," the objective has been changed to transforming into an alien creature.

Task rewards: Same as the long-term task "Strike the Snake's Seven Inches".

=

This was truly an unexpected bonus!

When this mission came up, Li Buying already had the idea of ​​using a sting operation similar to Doctor Strange's, except instead of devouring the demons, he would directly eliminate them.

Of course, the first thing to do is deal with the monster in front of us.

He snapped out of his daze and looked at the monster flying towards him. He instantly clenched his fists and crushed the monster with tremendous force. The beast, which had previously shown disdain for Li Buying, suddenly turned to astonishment and was then slammed into the ground by the force.

The smoke and dust were suppressed before they could rise. The ferocious beast was unable to move due to the power, and it was only when it recreated a shield with magic that it was able to stand up again, and the wounds on its body were being repaired quickly.

A hint of caution flashed in its eyes as it looked at Li Buying. It had originally thought that Li Buying's ability to twist the aircraft carrier into steel was all the power she had, which was why it had the confidence to challenge Li Buying.

Even at this level, it... well, it can't do that in terms of attack, but it can easily withstand the same force. But just now, the force that Li Buying unleashed has exceeded that of before.

This made it slightly uneasy, mainly because what happened in the universe that morning made it connect it to Li Buying. Could it be him...?

No, mutants couldn't possibly have that kind of power!

The beast denied it, its magical energy stirring up a cloud of dust that defied gravity. The next second, its withered legs propelled it forward, and its entire body appeared directly in front of Li Buying. It stared at Li Buying, grinning, and roared, "Foolish—"

"Get down."

Li Buying's figure suddenly disappeared in front of it. In the beast's perception, his aura appeared behind it in less than a millisecond. It immediately widened its eyes and raised a magic shield.

Activating his phase ability, Li Buying circled behind the demon. His eyes spun slowly like black holes. He clenched his fist, ready to strike the magic shield with all his might, but he suddenly sensed some unusual auras, several of which were extremely powerful.

Something else is watching this battle.

Upon realizing this, Li Buying didn't hesitate. She slightly withdrew her strength, not intending to kill the demon directly. It wouldn't be good if she exposed too much of her strength and attracted powerful enemies prematurely.

A punch struck the shield at the back of the head, and the condensed power exploded, slamming the beast directly into the ground. Large rocks and soil within a radius of a hundred meters shattered, and a strange, strong wind swept through the forest within a kilometer.

Having knocked the demon down, Li Buying naturally didn't intend to wait for it to recover. She clapped her hands together forcefully, and the soil, attracted by the force, directly enveloped the somewhat dizzy beast, forming a sphere that rose from the ground into the sky at supersonic speed.

This time, there was no further breakthrough into space, so dealing with this kind of thing wasn't as troublesome as dealing with the Black Phoenix.

The earth explodes and the sky——

Li Buying silently recited in his mind, using his thumbs and forefingers to aim at the high earthen ball in a camera-like gesture. The force field was constantly condensing in front of him, and the air was rapidly compressed to form a special projectile. The next second, he pushed the air projectile directly out.

The earthen ball in the sky was shattered directly. The beast raised its hands to create a magical shield to intercept the attack, but suddenly felt a thorn in its back once again.

How is that possible? How could you be so fast?

It didn't even have time to say those words. When it turned around, it saw Li Buying standing behind it. Anger and frustration flashed in its eyes, but the next attack came immediately.

The punch, carrying a force field fluctuation, shattered the magic shield once again. What followed was a series of punches, each punch amplified to the point that it could shatter an entire building.

"Roar roar roar roar!"

The demon, known as the "beast," roared, its appearance becoming increasingly ferocious. It unleashed all the dark magic within its body, barely managing to block Li Buying's attack. It was during this situation that it opened its mouth and emitted a disgusting melody.

The voices were almost everywhere; even though Li Buying had plugged her ears beforehand, she could still hear what they were saying, and her brows furrowed immediately.

He had never neglected his studies in magic. Although he didn't know much about magic in the Harry Potter world, Li Buying could still tell that it seemed to be some kind of curse-like incantation.

We must not let it be used, otherwise it could cause a lot of trouble.

Despite the protection of the force field, Li Buying still didn't want to face any strange magic. Her almost pure black pupils emitted starlight, her fingers moved slowly, and finally she slammed them onto the magic shield.

An invisible force field transformed into sharp spikes that struck a single point, hitting the weak spot of the magic shield like a pile driver. The flow of magic was blocked, and the entire shield shattered!

The demon was startled. Its first thought was to use its magic to protect its vitals. To its surprise, Li Buying decisively abandoned the attack. Its constantly opening and closing mouth was instantly pulled by the force field, and it immediately felt an excruciating pain in its jaw.

Reddish-black blood splattered out; its jaw had been ripped open by Li Buying, and it would definitely not recover anytime soon.

After slashing away Li Buying with its claws, the beast, whose jaw was bleeding profusely, reshaped its magical shield. The bleeding from its chin had stopped, and the granulation tissue and bone spurs began to grow back. Judging by the speed, it should be able to grow back completely in about five or six minutes.

"I thought demons could regenerate at high speeds, or are all demons as useless as you?" Li Buying mocked the beast, feeling somewhat annoyed, wondering who was spying on her.

After saying that, he launched a second round of all-out attack, preparing to exhaust the demon in front of him to death. It did not have the spatial tunnel fluctuations that Malekith, Cyclops, and Star had, which meant that its energy was limited.

As for Li Buying himself?

The ether particles are providing him with an almost inexhaustible supply of energy, even affecting his mental power, making it nearly impossible to deplete.

Ah, speaking of ether particles...

Li Buying narrowed her eyes slightly, focusing intently on her attack while simultaneously thinking about one thing: how to make her force field attack penetrate the energy shield and directly hit the demon.

As he focused on imagining this, a black force suddenly began to climb onto the colorless and uneffectless force field, and Li Buying's fists, whether striking the magic shield or colliding with the demon's claws, emitted flame-like effects.

What is that?

Before the beast could even react to what it was, a sense of dread washed over it. It absolutely, absolutely could not be hit by those fists.

However, it was not as fast as Li Buying. It subconsciously tilted its head back, and its fist, stained with black flames, ignored the laws of energy and directly destroyed part of the magic shield.

More and more doubts piled up, and the questions turned into ignorance and brought fear. It was already thinking of retreating, but Li Buying would not give it time to return to hell.

"Oh, and I can add something for you too."

Remembering that she possessed a weapon against dark creatures, Li Buying took a few steps back, retrieved Holy Silver Paint from her storage space, and used gravity to compress and spray it onto her gloves. The black flames were instantly mixed with a bit of golden light, giving the beasts an even greater sense of threat.

Run! Run! Run!

Its demonic instincts made it run away, but where could it run to? Under extreme threat, the demon bared its sharp teeth and made its most painful decision, plunging its hands into its fat belly and tearing it open.

"If you're so capable, then just ignore these evil spirits!" it roared, and countless souls instantly poured out of its belly.

Those were the souls he collected after taking control of the Hand. Each one, after emerging, exhibited demonic or evil-spirited characteristics due to the dark magic. More importantly, they instinctively wanted to fly towards cities with large numbers of humans, and the consequences would be unimaginable if they flooded into those cities.

But Li Buying wasn't worried about any of that. As she waved her hands, she unleashed black flames containing golden light, and pushed forward with all her might. The flames, or rather, the force field carrying the power to influence reality and the holy silver paint, crashed like waves against the massive number of souls and the demons themselves.

The souls couldn't help but scream, with slight differences: some were completely annihilated, while others turned from black back to white.

The black mist mixed with golden light ignored the beast's magical shield and directly affected it. The moment it was affected, its expression turned terrified.
