Chapter 123: Shining Fruit
The light on the Battle Axe grew brighter inch by inch, enveloped in an unknown energy. As the massive Dog-headed Man swung the Battle Axe, it traced a brilliant arc through the air, striking the Liquid Metal Bloodline Reincarnator who was immobilized under Lorna's control.
Not far away, Bai Luo in the helicopter quickly realized why Tiger Lee claimed he could handle this foe. With that swing, the entire body of the -1000 was brutally cleaved in two. However, this was hardly a serious injury for him; yet he let out a pig-like scream, exploding into a mass of metallic liquid in mid-air, attempting to evade the upcoming attacks by dispersing himself. The ability granted to Tiger Lee by Nerathus's Bloodline might be a form of soul attack. As a undead dog head, this was not surprising. The Reincarnator with the Terminator Bloodline was not truly a -1000 or a real robot, which meant he possessed a soul. Tiger Lee's attack could affect his physical form while also bypassing his nearly indestructible body to strike at his soul, delivering a direct and devastating blow.
The Terminator Bloodline Reincarnator reacted quickly; he immediately scattered his body, clearly planning to disperse and vanish from the scene to avoid the onslaught from the Reincarnators and Avengers.
However, he clearly underestimated Lorna's abilities. Although he had transformed into countless droplets of Liquid Metal, he remained firmly under Lorna's control, suspended in mid-air and unable to escape.
Tiger Lee would show no mercy. As a Reincarnator, killing his enemies was his ultimate goal. Since Lorna had already immobilized this individual, all he needed to do was unleash his full power without hesitation.
He swung the massive Battle Axe in his hands as if casting a spell, then struck it down onto the ground.
The earth seemed to tremble at that moment. Bai Luo, standing on the nearby aircraft, saw a burning soul formation gradually rising from where Tiger Lee's axe struck the ground.
Meanwhile, Tony and Captain America were closing in from other directions. It appeared that the alliance formed by the Avengers and Buddha Light Team had gained an advantage in no time at all; this -1000 had become like a fish in a barrel.
So… did his teammates—the Reincarnators from Japan—abandon him? Were they planning to sacrifice one person to ensure the safety of their entire team’s retreat and avoid this crisis?
No, that was impossible.
If it were a different country, a different team, perhaps it would be so. But this was the Hatsune Victory Team, a name that clearly indicated its members were undoubtedly deeply immersed in Japanese anime culture, the kind of Japanese Reincarnators who would never abandon their teammates for tactical success.
Yet it was at this moment that an unexpected change occurred in the arena.
A beam of light slowly rose into view.
It was actually a human, dressed in a white suit. As he ascended from the ground, his suit billowed behind him like the wings of some bat, looking both stylish and imposing. Unfortunately, Bai Luo was quite far away and could not see the person's face clearly.
Of course, this was no longer important; it was evident that this was a Reincarnator, and Bai Luo quickly understood what the other's ability was.
Before unleashing his attack, the individual announced the name of his technique in a clear and powerful voice.
“Yata no Kagami!”
Although it was shouted in Japanese, Bai Luo, having watched One Piece for many years, immediately recognized what this technique was.
It originated from One Piece's Devil Fruit abilities, specifically the power possessed by Borsalino. At that moment, it was clear that this Reincarnator was using that very ability.
This Devil Fruit was known as the Shining Fruit, a type of Logia fruit. The user of this fruit could transform their body into light, rendering them immune to most ordinary attacks while also granting them incredible speed and the ability to direct Light Particles for pinpoint or wide-area strikes.
The move Yata no Kagami was undoubtedly the name of a large-scale attack associated with the Light-Light Fruit Ability. It could unleash a massive amount of energy in a specific area like a laser gun, causing severe damage and destruction.
Thus, upon hearing the name of this move, Bai Luo's expression changed drastically. He realized that the position of the aircraft he was on would likely not escape unscathed from such an attack. He immediately shouted to the pilot in front of him, “Turn! Prepare to evade!”
In the air, as the name of the technique was shouted, the Japanese Reincarnator shone brightly like the sun, making it impossible to look directly at his figure from the ground. Following this, a barrage of Light Spheres erupted from his body, resembling a fusion of the Peashooter and Sunflower from Plants vs. Zombies, with the Peashooter unleashing Light Spheres at terrifying speed in all directions. Explosions erupted everywhere on the ground, and the massive Dog-headed Man, Nerathus, was caught in the chaos. He plunged his Battle Axe into the ground to brace himself against the onslaught.
As Bai Luo had anticipated, their flying vehicle was clearly within the attack range given its position and angle. Although the pilot adjusted the aircraft to evade immediately, it was still a moment too late. Several Light Spheres struck the side of the vehicle, instantly creating large holes that burned with scorching marks. The interior of the aircraft heated up rapidly due to the impact, causing it to tilt severely. However, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s equipment was indeed robust enough to withstand such attacks without suffering critical damage.
Amidst the violent shaking caused by the sudden attack on the aircraft, Lorna finally lost focus and could no longer maintain her abilities. Outside, under the assault of Light Spheres, explosions were rampant on the ground, and that -1000 Bloodline Reincarnator had likely seized the opportunity to escape amidst the chaos.
Lorna stumbled backward and fell. Bai Luo reacted quickly, reaching out to catch her in his arms.
Meanwhile, Bruce Banner was screaming in terror, "Ahhhhhhh!"
Bai Luo glanced back amidst his busy efforts and noticed that Bruce's face was pale with fear but showed no signs of turning green.
