Marvel: Starting with the Glint-Glint Fruit

He didn't know why the Terran Empire knew about the Heart of Prometheus, or even its approximate location.

But he knew he had to stop them.

Due to his public agreement with the human emperor Matthew, he could not personally participate, which left him with his hands and feet tied.

In addition, the human squad was so powerful and troublesome that he had to focus all his energy on the depths of the abyss, remotely amplifying and creating powerful monsters to stop and eliminate the squad.

The problem is, this is just a short-sighted solution.

This left him unable to attend to the main force of Raiche's army, allowing them to advance to the Dark Fortress.

As far as this game goes, he's going to lose.

Velasco no longer cared about the game; a verbal agreement wasn't a signed contract.

Inside the Dark Fortress Palace, Velasco's eyes flashed with a fierce light.

Just as he was preparing to wipe out that small team at all costs, a sudden change occurred.

boom!!

An overwhelming and terrifying will swept in like an ancient god resurrecting, and the turbulent and rampant aura suppressed Velasco, as well as the entire Dark Fortress and the whole city.

Velasco looked up, his face grim; he knew his hopes had been dashed.

It's simply impossible to completely ignore an enemy of equal strength and head towards the abyss at the border of hell.

Velasco could feel a faint, almost imperceptible aura locking onto him.

If he has any other ideas, he will inevitably be attacked.

Velasco's figure disappeared from the spot and reappeared above the city, where he saw the figure standing tall in the sky.

Chapter 306 Leaving with dignity is your only choice (Seeking monthly votes)

Matthew.

As he wore magnificent golden armor, his cloak fluttering slightly in the air, he looked down down at the demons within the Dark Fortress of Demons.

That overwhelming majesty and will caused the demons high in the sky to instinctively fall to the ground, unable to withstand it.

Instinct told them that the price of blaspheming that earthly emperor would be severe.

Looking directly at the gods is also a disaster.

However, the demons subconsciously overlooked the fact that this emperor was human; they instinctively feared and submitted to such power.

Power is authority.

This statement is perfectly embodied in this universe.

Velasco's appearance did, to some extent, boost the morale of these demons.

"Emperor~"

Conversely, the morale of the three battle groups under Reicher's leadership had already reached its peak after numerous battles, and Matthew's appearance completely ignited this already high morale.

A fervent fighting spirit soared into the sky.

The aura that emanated unconsciously caused the heavens to tremble and the earth to groan.

These warriors, when combined, are like a raging volcano, radiating intense heat that burns everything in its path.

If Matthew gave the order, these warriors, their fighting spirit burning brightly, would crush the dark fortress without hesitation.

Enemies who stand in their way will be devoured alive.

Velasco quickly ascended into the air and stood at the same level as Matthew, his expression extremely cold as he glanced at the three battle groups lined up in neat formations on the ground.

He lingered for an extra second, especially on Reicher, who was leading the group in golden power armor, and Natasha beside him.

He knew very well that these two people were the ones who had been playing a game with him all along.

Matthew?

They completely ignored him, only giving him a deterrent gaze from a remote location on Earth.

Velasco's ability to infinitely generate demons is not simply about overwhelming the three warbands with sheer numbers; it also involves a series of remote manipulations and various tactics employed to dismantle the three warbands.

However, under the command and coordination of Reicher and Natasha, all his tactics failed.

Velasco never imagined there would be such a formidable legion.

With an iron will, exceptional discipline, excellent teamwork, long-range artillery, and rapid battlefield support, they possess unparalleled capabilities.

This over-the-top configuration led to Velasco's tactical plans being thwarted time and again.

And sending a small team to the bottom of the abyss of hell put Velasco in an extremely awkward situation.

"I lost, you can have the Bloodstone."

Although Velasco was very unwilling, he took the initiative to admit defeat in this situation, and the bloodstone belonging to Iriana appeared in his right hand.

It wasn't that he was particularly gentlemanly; rather, he hoped Matthew would know when to stop.

After all, those people in the abyss are already heading towards the Heart of Prometheus. Once the supply of magic elements is cut off, Velasco's combat power will be greatly reduced, and he will inevitably lose the entire border of Hell.

His attitude can be seen from the fact that he took the Bloodstone but didn't hand it to Matthew immediately.

Unfortunately, Velasco was disappointed. Matthew could have stopped while he was ahead, but it certainly wouldn't have been this time.

Matthew was not sitting on the throne because he knew that the war between him and Velasco was about to begin.

"Leaving with dignity is your only option, Velasco."

Matthew stared coldly at Velasco.

"Dignity? There's no such thing in hell. Failure means losing everything." Velasco finally couldn't contain his anger and growled under Matthew's tough stance.

A terrifying aura erupted instantly.

The rampant and turbulent magic resonated with the entire border of hell, causing the space itself to subtly distort due to the surging vibrations.

The immense aura surged rapidly, reaching an extreme level of ferocity.

Rumble~

However, despite this aura, Matthew showed no fear or hesitation whatsoever. Who was he to back down from?

As a result, crimson light filled his pupils, and the terrifying and overwhelming Conqueror's Haki in his will was upgraded once again, soaring endlessly without any limit, frantically impacting Velasco.

The Conqueror's Haki materialized, and endless red and black lightning exploded, connecting the heavens and earth with streaks of red and black lightning, causing the entire border of hell to tremble violently.

Even the demons beneath the surface of Hell's borders fainted or died under the onslaught of this will.

In the apocalyptic scene, the demons who were barely able to stay conscious in the dark fortress huddled on the ground, trembling.

The saying goes, "When gods fight, mortals suffer."

The same applies to them.

Even the mere breath they experience in high-dimensional confrontations is beyond their capacity to withstand.

But the warriors of the three major battle groups, led by Reicher, remained standing firm.

They could also feel the pressure from the collision of the two auras, but their strength and willpower far surpassed those of the demons, so they were not rendered unable to fight on the spot.

However, the 10,000 reserve soldiers who joined in the third batch are under considerable pressure.

After all, their training time was much shorter than that of the first and second batches of warriors. Although they grew rapidly in the battles on the border of hell, it could not erase the gap in training and growth time.

Fortunately, they were all able to persevere.

I'm not as despicable as those demons.

“Your arrogance will cost you dearly,” Velasco roared, no longer bothering to exchange another word with Matthew.

He knew very well that he had to race against time.

Once those humans deep beneath the abyss find the Heart of Prometheus, his defeat will be utterly irreversible.

He must completely expel the humans and his army before him in the shortest possible time.

So Velasco went all out without hesitation.

However, Matthew, whose Observation Haki was already fully activated, had already predicted Velasco's next move.

Just as Velasco was about to launch an attack, Matthew had already transformed into a golden beam of light, tearing through the sky at the border of Hell, at a speed that reached the speed of light.

In a brief moment, Matthew was already in front of Velasco.

Velasco's pupils suddenly widened slightly; he had never expected Matthew to have such a keen sense of combat.

Caught off guard, the golden light had already filled his field of vision.

Instinctively, Velasco raised his hands in front of him and quickly constructed a dark purple energy shield.

However, how could this hastily summoned shield possibly withstand Matthew's attack?

The longsword, constructed from dazzling golden energy, revealed its sharpness, instantly severing the purple energy shield and cleaving Velasco in two diagonally from shoulder to waist.

However, Velasco's body conjured terrifying dark purple flames that enveloped Matthew.

Matthew exploded into a shower of golden particles, and when he reappeared, he was thousands of meters away in mid-air, slashing down at the air with his golden cross sword.

A burst of dark purple light exploded, blood flowed freely, and Velasco appeared out of thin air, plummeting towards the Dark Fortress Palace like a cannonball.

Chapter 307 The Rumble-Rumble Fruit Unleashes Its Power (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Velasco smashed through his palace, and it collapsed amidst billowing dust.

A large number of rocks fell, and among them could be seen many demon guards falling with them, their ugly and ferocious faces filled with fear.

Velasco attempted to use teleportation to confuse Matthew, but in Matthew's perception, which was aided by Observation Haki, the abundant magical energy and life force could not be concealed at all.

To put it bluntly, Velasco is just someone who uses home advantage to amplify his performance.

His skill level is not bad, but compared to a master like Matthew who cultivates both physical and magical abilities, he is far inferior.

That sword almost cleaved Velasco in two.

Even after Velasco was sent flying, Matthew still had no intention of letting him go.

Rumble~

Matthew simply raised his hand, and in an instant, lightning crackled across the sky, a terrifyingly thick bolt of lightning, over a hundred meters in diameter, struck down, heading straight for the collapsed palace.

boom!!

The terrifying lightning strike completely annihilated the palace in a single blow. The towering pillar of lightning continued to output power, with a voltage of 5 million volts and containing approximately 10 billion joules of energy.

Furthermore, this energy continues to increase as the power output is amplified.

In addition, it can be clearly seen that outside this pillar of lightning, golden magic circles rotate upwards from the ground, centered on the pillar of lightning.

Matthew actually created a confinement effect in this space while outputting lightning power.

The goal is to make Velasco an inescapable prisoner by building a lightning prison.

Rumble~

Countless bolts of lightning crisscrossed the sky, and countless bolts of lightning struck the pillar of lightning, amplifying its energy.

The entire dark fortress trembled violently, its terrifying energy output even penetrating the ground and spreading throughout the city. Under the immense wind and pressure, buildings within the city collapsed in large swaths.

Those demons who were crawling on the ground or who had been knocked unconscious by Matthew's Conqueror's Haki were all blown away.

A series of piercing screams echoed through the sky.

The light emitted by the lightning pillar was dazzling and domineering.

Matthew stood in the sky, raising his right hand to summon lightning. His domineering posture and imposing presence fueled the growing fervor in the eyes of the warriors from the three major battle groups arrayed outside the city.

This is their emperor.
