It didn't take long for Usak to realize another benefit of integrating with humans, that is, as an ancient one, he could in turn share human perspectives, acquire the knowledge of modern humans, and learn their tools and skills.
Just like it is now.
"Don't move, hero." Usak's head popped up again and said, "I have completely merged with this human being. The only way to separate me is to kill him and cut off his heartbeat.
Even I have no choice at this point. We have become one, and unless he dies or I die, we can't return to our original state even if I want to.
But the problem now is..."
"...We set up a bomb." Dedalo took over the words and forced a smile on his bruised and swollen face.
They were beaten quite badly at this time, and their bodies were taking the time to repair themselves. It was a little difficult to stand still at this moment. When he forced a smile, his face was still distorted, and his appearance was a bit revealing.
"Five kilometers away from this place, there are enough explosives to blast an entire street into the sky. The detonating device is directly connected to my heartbeat. Once it detects that my heart has stopped..."
"It will explode immediately." Chu Cheng narrowed his eyes.
Classic, criminals like to play this trick. Threatening heroes with innocent hostages, because heroes always have to take losses into account, which is always their weakness.
Dedalo was not a good troublemaker before he gained power, so he was naturally particularly good at this. Although he did not expect trouble to come so quickly, he had already thought about the possibility of uninvited guests coming to his door, so he was prepared in advance.
Plan.
But there was one thing he didn't expect.
Superheroes such as the Avengers and members of the Justice League have to face this kind of situation all year round. Bomb kidnapping and other things are already entry-level. Basically every hero will encounter similar situations when they first debut, and they have been in the industry for ten and a half years.
Almost all mainstream heroes in the modern era have a dozen ways to deal with this situation.
"Four available means, sir," said Friday, "shall I list them or..."
"No, choose one for me." Chu Cheng interrupted directly, "I trust your judgment."
"Okay, sir."
At this moment, Usak's face appeared again, still hanging on Dedalo's shoulder: "I have to say that sometimes even us ancients have to be surprised by human beings' strategies..."
"No offense, but this is just basic skills. If you can't even do this, it's because you ancients have too simple thinking. No wonder you are easily subdued."
Dedalo was triumphant and looked at the steel bat suit that paused in front of him with a smile that showed he had a winning chance.
"Okay, hero, this is my city, and I don't want anyone to get hurt, so we all don't want things to get too ugly.
So now, retreat obediently..."
Before he finished speaking, without giving him any chance to react, Iron Bat had already raised his palm.
The recoil beam had been secretly charged up to a very strong power in the moment just now, and was blasted out almost as soon as the armor raised its palm.
The powerful energy struck the center of his body, breaking through the outer layer of defense. The impact penetrated his body and violently bombarded his heart.
Through the scan of the armor, Friday had already analyzed the opponent's body composition. It seems that Dedalo's body has been greatly modified by the ancients, and has become a state that is difficult to call a human being, but some major organs are still preserved.
Come down.
For example, including his brain, lungs, and heart.
Through the analysis of the strength of his body's Tis shield since the battle, the scanning of weak points, and a series of complex calculation processes using artificial intelligence, the impact force that needs to be applied is accurately converted into the strength of the recoil beam, and then the backward calculation is performed.
What percentage of the output of the new element arc reactor is needed.
A series of complex calculations were all completed in a literal moment. With one shot of the hand cannon, Dedalo's heart stopped instantly.
He was even talking when he was hit, and his eyes were wide-eyed at the last moment before his consciousness disappeared, filled with disbelief.
impossible!
Isn’t this guy supposed to be a superhero? Doesn’t it matter to him if the whole street is blown up!?
he......
With all the shock and confusion, Dedalo leaned up and fell to the ground.
Felix, who followed to watch the battle, was also shocked. He already felt bad when he heard the other party mentioning the bomb. His mind was racing and he couldn't think of a way to defeat the enemy other than compromise. How could he have thought of this?
Iron Bat actually shot him directly through the heart without saying a word, so shocked that he almost suffered a cardiopulmonary arrest in an instant.
It's over. This was the first thought that came to his mind.
He seemed to have heard the deafening explosion, and he could see the flames soaring into the sky from a distance of five kilometers. Buildings were engulfed in a sea of flames, and innocent people were burned in their sleep.
The structure of the Tis shield was instantly separated from Dedalo's neck. It was the severely mutilated body of Usak. It was also shocked by the opponent's unreasonable operation at this time, and hurriedly removed it from the dead host without thinking.
Separated, turned around and tried to run away.
However, there was no such chance. Apparently its escape had already been in the tactical plan. At the same time as the recoil beam was released, the missile cabin carried by the Iron Bat had already popped up, and a freezing bomb flew through the air with a whoosh.
Snapped.
The shell of the missile exploded, and the ice crystals were released instantly. Usak, who had just been expelled from the body and had not had time to escape, was suddenly shrouded in ice and snow. The sharply lowered temperature immediately froze it into an ice wither. The irregular shape seemed to be trapped in
He couldn't move in a cage of crystals.
"I'm sorry, but I can't let you sneak away again today. You'd better be honest."
The missile in Chu Cheng's hand was locked for launch, but his body movements were not delayed at all during the firing, and he did not even glance in the direction of Usak. The missile had been set by him in advance, and its aiming relied on system-assisted automatic aiming, while Chu Cheng
The moment Cheng fired his weapon, he accelerated his steps and sprinted forward. He was already in front of Dedalo just before he fell to the ground.
The moment before the back of Dedalo's head hit the ground, the palm of his armor had already pressed against his heart.
The arc reactor made a pleasant hum of energy, and the energy was output from the palm of the armor, turning into countless electric snakes and rushing into Dedalo's body. Dedalo's whole body was shaken, and he let out a series of "Uh-huh."
"He screamed strangely, and after twitching for a while, he started moaning again.
Dedalo's heart beat again.
The bomb did not detonate.
Felix's eyes widened behind him.
Damn it?
There is still such an operation!?
The little trick invented by Stark was once used in the Iron Man comics. It is a very practical and very pretentious Iron Man trick to deal with some despicable gangsters... although Captain America really dislikes this style.
Captain America believed that no matter what, ethically speaking, Stark still murdered the opponent once. But Stark disagreed. He only pursued the result and did not care about the process. He felt that this was a genius move on his part.
Felix was dumbfounded. He could imagine what it would be like if he dealt with this case alone, and he realized more deeply the gap between himself and a real hero.
It's not just about flashy abilities and strength, it's also about all-round deficiencies compared to a mature hero.
In just such a short moment, he effortlessly solved a situation that seemed to him almost unsolvable, defeated the enemy and successfully separated the ancient one...
What I wanted to say got stuck in my trachea, but thousands of words still came together into one sentence.
"too strong......"
Iron Bat clenched his right fist, raised his arm, locked the frozen Usak, and activated the mechanism on his elbow.
Ursak was trapped within the ice crystal, struggling to no avail.
"Lady Ophelia..."
Red-hot light burst out from the back of the Iron Bat's hand. A miniature version of the heat vision cannon, the ultra-high-temperature beam instantly melted the ice crystals, penetrated the ancient man's body, and burned it to the ground in less than the blink of an eye.
