Kamen Rider ZZZ, the American comic book spiritual mentor

Loki was startled when he saw the figure suddenly appear. He then thought it might be fake, but no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't tell from the appearance that it was real.

He glanced at Lin Nan sideways, wondering what new tricks this guy had up his sleeve. What kind of ability was this? Magic, illusion, or a technological marvel?

The fake Reed stood in the shadows, beckoning customers into the shadows, then punched them unconscious and stuffed them into a trash can.

They then called the driver over, knocked him unconscious, and stuffed him and his boss into a trash can, making them brothers in misfortune.

Then the projection disappeared, Loki became a customer, Thor pretended to be a bodyguard and driver, and Lin Nan changed his face and pretended to be a secretary.

The three men went into the car first and checked the driver's licenses to confirm the customer's identity.

Then, he swaggered in, carrying his suitcase.

The interior space was small, with only three shelves displaying porcelain and sculptures categorized by type, and the walls were covered with calligraphy and paintings.

Lin Nan followed behind without making a sound, carrying a black briefcase and calmly scanning his surroundings.

Opposite the main entrance, there was a long table. The person sitting behind it was not the boss Reed from the documents, but a young woman dressed in a Japanese kimono with her face painted deathly pale.

On the table sits a huge golden Buddha statue, its pupils faintly glowing red, suggesting that a built-in infrared camera is installed inside.

“Mr. Victor, the boss is out today, so I will be receiving you. You can call me Sakura.”

Loki, with his inherent aristocratic air, placed his briefcase on the table without saying a word.

"Who are these two in the back...?"

"The bodyguard and secretary, Miss Sakura, are all people I trust, so please rest assured."

Sakura nodded, not paying much attention. She opened her suitcase and took out a Buddha statue.

The Buddha statue is made entirely of stone, and it is stained with dark red marks, which look like bloodstains.

"This is it, sir. Please come with me."

Loki nodded coolly, stood up, and followed Sakura behind the screen.

Sakura tapped the wall three times, revealing a hidden door. She pushed the door open and gestured for people to enter.

"Mrs. Reed is waiting for you inside. Please come in. These two gentlemen may also come in."

Lin Nan's heart tightened. How could such a transaction allow his entourage to follow him in?

He secretly became more vigilant, gave Thor a wink, and followed Loki into the passage.

After walking through a long passage, through dampness and darkness, the view finally opened up.

What comes into view is a spacious hall with a wooden roof, carved beams and painted rafters, but it is very empty.

In the center sat a woman on a prayer mat; it was Reed. She was resting with her eyes closed, completely still, with an open box in front of her, empty of anything.

Just as Loki was about to speak, he heard Reed say, "Victor's right little finger is slightly shorter than average, but yours isn't. Guest, since you dared to disguise yourself and come in, don't go back!"

Before he could finish speaking, Reed suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils pitch black, black energy emanating from his hands, and pointed directly at Loki.

Clearly, we've been exposed!

Loki raised an eyebrow, his figure flickered, and he instantly disappeared from the spot. The black energy continued its momentum and struck Lin Nan's face with a loud bang.

Reed laughed loudly: "Fool, this is an age curse! Whoever you are, I curse you to grow old and die!"

This curse will have a huge impact on everyone, reducing their lifespan by fifty years. It is irreversible, and fifty years of erosion is enough to destroy anyone!

Lin Nan felt a surge of black energy enter his lungs and into his mental realm. As soon as he entered, it was dispersed by the egg-shaped machine deep within his consciousness, dissipating like a fart, without having any effect whatsoever.

It didn't even rotate once.

Things that affect the mind, you little brat, do you even know who your father is?

Just as Thor was about to unleash his full power and lift the curse by taking Reed hostage, he heard Lin Nan ask softly, "What did you do? Did you light a cigarette for me?"

"You...you're actually alright?! The curse is inescapable, how is this possible?"

At that moment, Loki appeared from behind, pointed at the box, and whispered, "That box once contained bone fragments, and it still retains a lot of energy. With that, we won't be far from the giant serpent!"

After all the caution, you still have to unleash your full power in the end.

Reed was somewhat flustered, but still tried to remain calm: "I don't care why you've come here, or who you are. Since you're on my turf, stay."

As soon as he finished speaking, smoke and dust filled the surrounding walls, and more than a hundred red-clad ninjas appeared, exuding murderous intent, and surrounded the area.

The leader was about ten years old. He was thin and bony, and was not wearing any clothes except for a pair of black pants. He was surrounded by black mist, and his pupils were completely black with no whites.

As soon as he appeared, Loki immediately whispered, "Dark Vessel, it's quite dangerous. You guys fight, I use my brain, I'm not good at fighting."

The Dark Container, or more familiarly, the Dark Void.

The Hand's trump card—it seems this woman named Reed is a big fish, definitely holding a high position within the Hand.

Lin Nan waved his hand, signaling the lazy Loki to go cool off somewhere else, then put the dream capsule in, pressed the button, and snapped his fingers with a flick of his right hand.

"Transform!"

"Impact!!!"

A black aura, even denser than the black sky, enveloped his entire body, and he emerged as a figure in armor with enormous scarlet compound eyes, waving his hand to dispel the pure villainous special effects.

Chapter 116 Three Punches Shatter Black Sky Dream

Lin Nan had some understanding of the so-called Black Void; it was the Hand's container for dark curses.

It feels no pain, feels no fear, possesses extraordinary regenerative abilities, and its speed and strength far surpass those of ordinary people. The black aura surrounding its body can stir up negative emotions and corrupt people's hearts.

Just as Thor was about to summon Mjolnir, Lin Nan raised his hand to stop him.

He said softly, "Leave it to me. His black energy mainly targets consciousness and emotions. You deal with those ninjas, but don't make too much of a commotion."

According to the original, well-known setting, the Black Sky's mental erosion is basically ineffective against Thor.

After all, having been tormented by Loki, a master of illusion, for so many years, he had long since developed a resistance to it.

But this world is uncertain, so just in case, it's best not to let Thor take any risks. If he gets corrupted, that would be blatant aiding the enemy.

Thor didn't insist and nodded: "Be careful."

"it is good!"

The ninja and Hei Kong moved simultaneously. Lin Nan, wearing a two-star impact armor, headed towards Hei Kong.

His calf muscles bulged, blasting a large hole in the wooden floor. His body shot out like a giant cannon, unleashing a punch that was accompanied by a whooshing sound.

Hei Kong didn't dodge; in his world, there was no such thing as temporarily avoiding a sharp edge. He met the attack head-on with a punch!

The two fists collided, ripples spreading through the air, producing a muffled thud.

With perfect compatibility and synchronization, Lin Nan's punch was enough to rival the Hulk in his normal second stage.

Black Sky... a futile attempt to stop a chariot!

The terrifying force shattered the fist, spreading inch by inch from the front of the arm, twisting and crushing the tendons and bones.

Click!Click!Click!

With several crisp cracking sounds, Hei Kong's arm broke off inch by inch, but the immense force continued unabated, blasting the entire arm into a pile of mangled flesh.

A burst of blood erupted from his upper arm, and half of his body was shattered. He flew backward and crashed heavily into a wooden wall in the distance, creating a large hole.

When a stat-heavy monster emerges from a group of mechanics and forms, you should consider just how terrifying that stat is.

He only needed one punch to repel the Black Sky, and the terrifying power of that punch truly startled Reid, who was being protected by the ninjas in the center.

She stared blankly at the armored vehicle, her features contorted with shock, no longer calm and collected.

Before the Battle of New York, news of the Knight's battle against the Hulk had long been suppressed by S.H.I.E.L.D., and the Hand's intelligence knew very little about this legendary, mysterious Knight.

I was somewhat prepared the moment the curse wore off and the armor appeared.

The knights might be strong, but I didn't expect them to be this strong!

But she remained confident because Black Sky specialized in armor penetration and mental attacks, and also possessed a super-strong self-healing ability; she could wear down the knight to death!

As expected, Hei Kong forcefully pulled himself out of the deep pit. When he landed on the ground, his shattered arm was filled with black energy, and it was restored to its original state in an instant.

Lightning crackled all around, and Thor's battle was completely one-sided. He didn't use his hammer, only his fists and lightning, like a tiger among wolves.

While ninja techniques are indeed bizarre and powerful, they are utterly ineffective against such a devastating attack.

In a few flashes, they were basically lying on the ground. The well-trained ninjas, with bone fragments piercing through their flesh, remained silent and did not utter a single cry of pain.

But a ninja who loses has no purpose.

Hei Kong made a strange gesture with his hands, his lips moved slightly, and he let out a low groan with a peculiar rhythm. The ninjas lying on the ground turned into sand and dissipated inch by inch, gathering into a large cloud of black mist that hovered above Hei Kong's head.

A strange laugh rang out, and black mist entered the overhead space, causing the entire basement to suddenly darken as if the light had been absorbed.

Hei Kong's body was still thin and frail, but he was almost unrecognizable.

Its hands and feet turned black, as if they had been pulled from oil, dripping onto the ground. Strange runes writhed beneath the skin of its chest.

"Hahahaha... Knight, no matter how strong you are, can you withstand such a dark sky?"

Reed let out a shrill laugh, and his right cheek, due to his emotional outburst, slowly revealed a layer of scaly skin.

By gathering the resentment of the ninjas who died, Hei Kong is now several times stronger than before!

Lin Nan felt the pervasive fluctuations and clicked his tongue in amazement. Was this the darkness of the Hand?

Loki's voice rang in his ears again: "Not easy to deal with. Be careful, I don't want to collect your corpse."

Lin Nan smiled slightly. Next, it was time to demonstrate the mechanism.

For a two-star physical impact, force can completely overcome force; if one punch isn't enough, throw several more.

However, the commotion was too great.

Therefore, Lin Nan waved his right hand and summoned a green capsule from the depths of his consciousness to restore himself.

He then moved closer quickly, preventing Black Sky from punching him in the face, and directly activated the [Recovery] Dream Capsule.

A flash of green light enveloped Hei Kong, and in an instant, the black substance covering his body and the runes on his chest vanished as if time had reversed. Even his healed arm shattered again, splattering blood everywhere.

Clearly, even the container, which was devoid of fear and pain, showed a hint of astonishment on its face.
