Marvel: Starting with the Glint-Glint Fruit

In Akainu, the development of the Magma-Magma Fruit has reached its peak, but with Reiche, he can definitely develop it even further than Akainu.

It's nothing more than a gap in cognition and technology.

Akainu doesn't understand the theories and knowledge about magma; his ability to develop it to that extent is entirely based on instinct and trial and error.

Akainu can perfectly exploit and develop the bug-like aspect of the efficiency of energy conversion in Logia-type Devil Fruits.

But he never understood that magma, under modern technology, had already been thoroughly studied.

Furthermore, the Terra Empire has specifically equipped these Devil Fruits with corresponding scientific departments.

The main focus is on a targeted, high-tech study of Devil Fruits. Without the support of such a budget, how can Akainu compare to Reiche?

The supporting environment is too large.

Of course, Reicher has only just started consuming the Magma Fruit, and his development in this area is only just beginning.

And his current opponent is the Red Tank.

A terrifying monster backed by Cytorak, the ruler of the Crimson Realm.

boom!!

Reichel's massive fire attack should have shattered and destroyed everything, but for the Juggernaut, it was nothing more than a tickle.

The red tank, as it charged and crashed, combined with its terrifying physique, displayed almost rule-like abilities that were unstoppable.

The Red Tank, with its nearly three-meter-tall muscular body, actually emerged from under the massive, flaming magma fist. Its clothes were visibly damaged, and its skin was even scorched by the intense heat of the magma.

However, it quickly and visibly recovered under the action of powerful self-healing factors.

The eyes beneath the Red Tank's helmet had already turned blood red, and it roared excitedly, its arms crossed in a charging stance.

The massive fire explosion hadn't slowed him down at all.

It arrived in the blink of an eye with such speed that the oppressive force and wind pressure on its face caused Lei Che's skin to tingle slightly.

In fact, Raicho could completely neutralize this move by transforming into an element.

After all, the Red Tank's disadvantage lies in the fact that its collision is a physical attack, and Logia-type Devil Fruits are the best counter to this kind of pure physical attack.

But Reicher did not choose to do so.

Rachel's only goal in fighting the Red Tank was to push himself to the limit, to push his body to its limit.

Red Tank doesn't have a health bar, stamina bar, or mana bar—things that can be consumed.

The Red Tank is a pure perpetual motion machine.

He has no fatigue level, but his combat experience and skills are practically zero.

If it were a life-or-death battle, Reiche would have countless ways to defeat such an opponent. Just his Observation Haki alone would make it impossible for the Red Tank to hit him.

But this is completely unnecessary.

Therefore, Raiche chose the most direct and violent method: punches to the flesh.

Use the Red Tank to hone your skills.

Reicher roared defiantly, crossing his arms as well. His upper body was instantly covered by Armament Haki, turning into pitch black.

He froze his body in place, determined to withstand the impact of the red tank.

"He's a tough guy."

The spectators watched intently, and Logan's eyes were filled with admiration and respect; he really liked tough guys and macho men.

He's the kind of player who's highly mobile and lives on the sidelines; what he hates most are enemies who are always hiding.

Even if you can beat him, you don't deserve Logan's approval and recognition.

The youngest people present, Carrie and the mischievous Mary, were so nervous that they even forgot to breathe, their eyes wide and focused.

Finally, the Juggernaut and Reicher collided.

This was like Mars colliding with Earth.

The unstoppable Red Tank seemed to pause for a second at the moment of impact with Reicher, and then a terrifying shockwave exploded, bursting out with a violent, metallic clang.

Clang!

Rachel's expression remained unchanged, but his body did indeed shudder suddenly. That unstoppable force violently surged from his arms and spread throughout his entire body.

His muscles, internal organs, bones, and cells were all experiencing the shockwave from the impact.

Sizzle~~

Raiche successfully blocked the impact, but the powerful kinetic energy from the impact propelled him backward at high speed. His shoes carved a long furrow in the ground, and the soil was turned up by the plow, scattering dirt everywhere.

Wow~

Logan, Storm, and the others watching from the other side kept shifting their gazes as the figure was being violently slid away after being hit.

That was some kind of terrifying impact force!

Reicher withstood the blow, his chest felt tight, and he was shocked and amazed by the monstrous impact of the Red Tank.

The opponent started running and charged forward, their irrational momentum continuing unabated.

Rachel understood that if the light blocked his way, he could be pushed to the ends of the earth.

But he refused to believe it; he was determined to stop this behemoth.

So, as Reicher glided, he suddenly stomped his right foot backward.

boom!

The earth shook violently, and a large area of ​​the ground suddenly caved in. The ground was pierced by the force and exploded into a dense array of square floor tiles, which then bounced into the air.

Veins bulged on Lei Che's forehead, his face flushed red, and he unleashed all his power with a low roar.

This force caused the moving Red Tank train to freeze for a moment. Reicher instantly seized this opportunity and immediately pulled his right hand out from his crossed hands in front of him.

Then, with a flick of his wrist, high-level Armament Haki enveloped him, and black and purple flowing energy appeared and surrounded him.

He unleashed a punch, imbued with all his power and Armament Haki, towards the crossed arms of the Red Tank.

boom!!

The deafening explosion resounded throughout the universe, and the shockwave exploded instantly around the two of them. However, the Juggernaut was actually sent flying by this punch, and the same was true for Rei, who was also sent flying by the recoil.

The red tank was eventually shot backward for over a thousand meters before crashing onto the ground and sliding for hundreds of meters before slowly coming to a stop.

Compared to the disheveled Red Tank, Reicher fared much better. After flying more than a hundred meters backward, he spun around and stomped hard in the air with his right foot.

Using the aerial stepping technique of Moon Step, one of the Six Styles, he adjusted his posture.

huh~~

Raiche slowly descended from mid-air to the ground, his chest rising and falling slightly before he slowly exhaled.

His forehead was covered in sweat.

It's clear that the battles just now put a lot of pressure on him.

"Why did Uncle Rachel have to clash head-on with that big guy? Couldn't he have dodged it?" Carrie finally breathed a sigh of relief and then asked in a low voice, puzzled.

She didn't believe that Reicher, the former commander of the Astartes and now the Supreme Commander of the Terra Empire, had no combat skills whatsoever.

Anyone with even a slight understanding of Astartes knows that the tough guys who look like they're wearing heavy power armor actually possess skills completely different from what they appear to have.

With an abundance of real-world combat experience, nanometer-level reaction speed and judgment, they are the most terrifying killing machines, capable of instantly discerning the enemy's weaknesses and seizing the opportunity to counterattack.

It also possesses extremely agile flexibility and speed.

If that's the case, why bother going head-to-head with the Red Tank?

Logan pricked up his ears, clearly curious about Mary and Storm.

Before Matthew could speak, Natasha offered an explanation with a smile.

A slightly husky yet magnetic voice rang in everyone's ears.

"Because he is using the Red Tank to hone his body. At our level, ordinary combat experience is not very effective. He needs to use the tireless Red Tank and its powerful strength to push his body to its limit."

"This process is like craftsmen constantly hammering and forging a metal blank to remove impurities."

Natasha's explanation made Carrie and the others immediately understand.

Chapter 262 Perpetual Motion Machine - Juggernaut Joins Terra (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Actually, let's not even talk about Lei Che.

Next, Natasha and Nigley both planned to have a fierce hand-to-hand fight with the behemoth, Juggernaut.

Such training machines that don't get tired, don't need to sleep or drink water, and even have a strength exceeding 100 tons are extremely rare.

Look at Rachel's usually expressionless face; now she's wearing a comfort mask.

This shows how effective Reicher's move was.

Negri and Natasha's Observation Haki allowed them to clearly and intuitively sense the change in Reicher's aura.

His body was tempered through repeated collisions. Although his aura fluctuated, the vitality within him was like a volcano that had been ignited, burning vigorously and radiating intense heat.

Every collision raises the temperature.

"You people are really monsters~~"

Logan couldn't help but complain.

No wonder the warriors of Astartes, Ravens, and Grey Knights are all so incredibly strong.

To go head-to-head with a red tank that could smash him to pieces without even dodging—that kind of courage and that kind of training intensity are simply inhuman.

Just hearing about it sends chills down my spine, let alone seeing it with my own eyes. The visual impact is so powerful that I'm afraid I'll never forget it, even after many years.

train?

Wild mutants almost never thought about such things, after all, they had to hide and conceal their abilities.

Things are a bit better at the mutant academy.

The students' abilities are generally controllable, but only the X-Men have training programs.

But compared to Rachel's training, the X-Men's training is like children playing house.

It's absolutely unbearable to look at.

"Don't worry, Logan, you'll soon become a monster like us, and compared to those in the universe, we're far from being monsters," Nigley replied with a grin.

But beneath that seemingly joking tone lies a seriousness.

Neither she nor Natasha felt any pride because of Logan's surprise and shock.

The more we learn about the universe, the more we realize how far, far inferior they are to the gods who are truly considered monsters in the universe.

They are not even beings from the same dimension.

Negri, Natasha, Reichel, and all the other warriors have become so powerful, they clearly possess the strength to sweep across the entire world.

But why have they been silently and persistently training?

Aside from the direct feedback brought about by the visible growth of life levels, it's like a bottle of addictive poison, making it impossible to stop.

There is also a sense of crisis.

They established the Terra Empire under Matthew's leadership, but it was far from enough.

The order and philosophy established by Matthew are about protection, about enabling human civilization to go further without being threatened by life from other dimensions or beyond Earth.

Therefore, they need power to fight those monsters.

They knew it wasn't enough; they needed to follow in the Emperor's footsteps and wait for Matthew to begin his cosmic conquest, establishing glory and merit.

Every warrior has ambition, mostly for the Empire, for Matthew, and only a small part for himself.

They wanted to witness the arrival of the empire's glorious era firsthand; they wanted to be a key part of it.

Let our names be forever etched in the annals of history, and let countless races remember us forever.

Negri's eyes burned with undisguised ambition, like flames, which made Logan, Storm, and the others exchange glances.
